Chapter 228: Chapter 7: Xiao White Fox (7)

Thanks to “Xuan An Yin Yan” for the reward, muah~

****************************************

Cui Wenyu came in third place, and his spear had already been destroyed by Sword Qi, reduced to a pile of scrap metal.

This long spear was given to Cui Wenyu by the Thirteen Elders, considered quite precious, and had become his Lifebound Magical Artifact. Now that it’s been destroyed, Cui Wenyu coughed up blood, suffering a backlash and was seriously injured.

Previously, Wenjun, who was knocked down early on the stage, ended up taking second place instead.

Wenjun was aware of Cui Wenyu’s strength.

Yet at the first encounter, his Lifebound Magical Artifact was destroyed, and he himself was kicked off the stage.

He wasn’t even as good as Cui Wenyu; seeing Li Shuning approaching, Wenjun panicked, bit his teeth, and directly jumped off the stage himself.

If Li Shuning were to come at him like that, it’d be better to step down himself rather than get injured. He can’t beat Li Shuning anyway, and he’s already second place; why bother with pride?

At once, the spectators had their eyes wide open.

In all these years, Qingyun Sect hadn’t seen such a bizarre and quickly concluded competition, right?

Even the Sect Leader glared fiercely at Wenjun; it was truly embarrassing.

However, he had a bit of appreciation for Li Shuning.

This girl knows how to handle things.

Clearly, she had the strength to kick Wenjun off the stage, yet she preserved his dignity by kicking Cui Wenyu off first.

The rewards for second and third place are different; originally, Wenjun could have easily taken third place, but now he’s secured second place, which isn’t bad at all.

Thinking like this, the Sect Leader’s mood inexplicably improved.

In the Sect Leader’s view, Wenjun and Li Shuning don’t have any relationship, and Li Shuning’s leniency in sparing him must have been out of consideration for the Sect Leader himself.

In fact, Li Shuning purely wanted to disgust Cui Wenyu, without considering much beyond that.

The Thirteen Elders were quite distressed, their treasured disciple’s Lifebound Magical Artifact was wasted, suffering a backlash and seriously injured.

They are fellow disciples; how could one strike so ruthlessly?

However, the Thirteen Elders couldn’t reprimand Li Shuning; her master is the Wine Immortal.

Sighing deeply, they could only get their disciple another Lifebound Magical Artifact; if they could get a Magic Treasure, it would be even better, a one-step solution. They just hoped their disciple wouldn’t be too hit by this competition; Li Shuning is truly defying the heavens.

The Foundation Establishment Group competition had ended, but other categories were still ongoing, and Li Shuning naturally could not yet receive the prize.

Thinking it over, she still watched other divisions’ matches.

At this time, her master’s voice came to her ear: “Good disciple, well done, you’ve brought honor to your master.”

Li Shuning showed a smile.

Cui Wenyu, who had been staring at Li Shuning, saw this smile, and inexplicably lost all resentment, feeling instead a kind of racing heart.

Inwardly resolved, he was determined that someday he would surpass Li Shuning.

After the tournament ends, the disciples would be sent out for training.

In the storyline, Cui Wenyu was slightly shocked to see Zhang Yixuan, who wasn’t much older, already a Golden Core Cultivator.

With Tao Hui murmuring in his ear, the two went to the Fox Clan together, scheming to capture the Little Fox.

This time, however, Li Shuning’s provocation deeply affected Cui Wenyu. Although he resolved to become stronger, he was dazed and confused for several days, convinced he had been working hard.

Just as in the plot, Tao Hui claimed he had a way, urging Cui Wenyu to find a way to travel together after the tournament.

Cui Wenyu didn’t care much; after the competition, he informed the Thirteen Elders, and they both headed towards the Fox Clan’s territory.

Li Shuning didn’t need to follow her senior brothers and sisters for practice.

Monitoring Tao Hui and them secretly leaving, she promptly bid farewell to her master and also left Qingyun Sect.

Tao Hui felt time was urgent. Originally, this tournament was Cui Wenyu’s best chance to enter Qingyun Sect’s upper echelon’s view, and during this tournament, Liu Ruyan had taken a liking to Cui Wenyu.

However, now, not to mention an inexplicably appearing Li Shuning stealing all of Cui Wenyu’s thunder and leaving him in a mess of defeat, even Liu Ruyan hadn’t fallen for Cui Wenyu. How could this be?

Everything was different from his written plot; it couldn’t continue this way.

Tao Hui and Cui Wenyu set off for the Fox Clan, but unfortunately, the Fox Clan’s Array was on, and Tao Hui knew there was an Array here, but he also had a method to break it.

Tao Hui attempted to break the Array but discovered it was completely different from his design. What happened?

It seemed many things were out of his control, and Tao Hui panicked.

Unable to enter the Fox Clan, Tao Hui desperately thought it over, finally recalling that if the Fox Clan didn’t work, he should look for alternatives.

He remembered the Carp Spirit clan had a carp that had successfully jumped the dragon gate, transforming into human form and possessing deep power, though not as good as Xiao White Fox, it was still a decent choice.

Thus, the two hurried to the Carp Spirit’s place.

Li Shuning didn’t follow anymore, having left the Fox Clan over a year ago; finally back, she preferred to spend time with her clan members.

As for those two harming other girls, Li Shuning wasn’t worried. Only a few individuals could be used by Cui Wenyu.

Besides, the hovercar is assisting with monitoring them; if needed, she would leave immediately, as she possesses teleportation Divine Skills.

Once the location is known, she can teleport instantly.

After playing with the Little Foxes of the clan for a few days, Li Shuning left.

At this point, Tao Hui and Cui Wenyu found the residence of the Carp Spirit.

Though referred to as a Carp Spirit, it no longer counted as a Spirit Monster; the carp had already leapt through the dragon gate, transforming into human form and able to start normal cultivation. With successful cultivation, it could become a true dragon, roaming the nine heavens.

In other words, the carp already had a dragon vein within it.

By capturing the carp, extracting its dragon vein, and using special methods to integrate it into Cui Wenyu’s body, someday Cui Wenyu could also become immortal.

Yet in doing so, Cui Wenyu still needed to work hard personally, and the effects wouldn’t be immediate.

Xiao White Fox is different, only needing to absorb Xiao White Fox’s cultivation. Due to Xiao White Fox’s bloodline, it wouldn’t affect a cultivator’s body, and by refining Xiao White Fox’s cultivation, it could generate as much as needed.

With the inability to enter the Fox Clan, although unfortunate, Tao Hui had no other choice.

To cope with the Carp Spirit would be equally challenging.

They were almost there, but Tao Hui stopped, needing to prepare before capturing the Carp Spirit.

Tao Hui busied himself for a long time, creating a large pile of bait.

Snails, algae, shrimp, with the addition of fragrant dew favored by spirit monsters, along with Gathering Spirit Pills and various other elixirs, making it rather attractive to the Carp Spirit.

Tao Hui also prepared a large net, made from Ice Silkworm Silk, specially refined into such a net. Not only the Carp Spirit, even cultivators below Nascent Soul would struggle to escape once caught.
