Chapter 33: Battle of the Immortal Rankings Board Prodigies

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Today was the last day of the free-for-all battle event and over forty thousand students, each with some sort of injury, gathered on White Jade Plaza.

These were the students who had participated in the event but had already been defeated.

The plaza was enveloped in an insanely large healing formation spell. This formation spell was emitting a rich life-force, continuously healing the injured students.

Moreover, in the instances where a student was critically injured, teachers specializing in healing spells would assume responsibility for their treatment.

It could be said that as long as you were still breathing when you had been teleported out, you wouldn't need to worry about dying in this event.

Students on the White Jade Plaza had two aims. The first was to receive treatment and the second was to spectate the ultimate battle of the free-for-all battle event.

A crystal screen thousands of feet in size was suspended in the air above the plaza. Right now though, there was nothing on the screen.

Even so, the atmosphere on the plaza was especially boisterous, with students already engaged in spirited discussions.

"How come the crystal screen still hasn't started streaming yet?!"

"Don't worry, the crystal screen will start broadcasting the battles live when we're down to the last two-hundred students. Based on previous experience, there are still about four hours to go."

"Hehe, the boundaries are probably shrinking now. Eventually, the boundary in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks will shrink from an area of one hundred square miles to an area of three square miles. When that time comes, the battles will sure be intense…"

"Who do you guys think is going to take the top rank in this year's Immortal Rankings Board?"

"Of course it's going to be Wang Xuanzhan. When he was just a third-year student, he was already in the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage and had topped the Immortal Rankings Board. Now that a year has passed, his strength will only be more unfathomable. Apart from him, who else can it be?"

"I feel that it's going to be Yang Chengwu. He also has a rank of Spirit Nurturing Final Stage and was ranked third in the previous Immortal Rankings Board after just losing to Wang Xuanzhan. Now that he's about to graduate, he might be able to excel and take the top rank."

"Humph! I reckon it'll be Goddess Liu. Her moves are fantastic and mystifying. Perhaps she can pull off a miracle!"

…

All sorts of discussions were taking place on the White Jade Plaza. Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, the fiercest and most bloody battles had already begun!

The blue spell formation boundary shrank continually, and the remaining students all started to converge towards the Immortal King Peak, which was located in the center of the battleground. From time to time, students would bump into each other and an intense battle would erupt.

Up in the sky, An Lin—who was riding upon a dog—looked completely worn out.

He had already experienced numerous heated battles today. The weakest opponent he had come across had a rank of Tenth Stage Dao Body and the strongest was so powerful that they were ranked amongst the previous Immortal Rankings Board.

If it wasn't for them ganging up on opponents and fighting as a duo, they probably would have been teleported out of the battleground ages ago.

An Lin was looking at the system interface. After ranking up to the Ninth Stage Dao Body, the mission given under the 'Cultivation Base' section became even more absurd.

"Tenth Stage Dao Body—Condition: Master three different system-provided cultivation methods."

The interface of the 'Cultivation Methods' section had refreshed and there was a new wind category cultivation method.

"Stage One Wind Spirit—Condition: Jump off a cliff one-hundred-thousand feet in height once."

Counting the thunder category cultivation method from before which required him to be struck by lightning, there were exactly three cultivation methods.

Which was to say, if An Lin had three lives, he could try to rely on the system and break through to the Tenth Stage Dao Body!

Oh, there was also another cultivation method provided by the system and it was under the 'God' category.

"Divine Might—Condition: Be worshipped by ten thousand people!"

Under An Lin's current situation, this was as difficult as trying to reach the heavens!

If the condition was changed to 'be scorned by ten thousand people', he would be a tad more confident.

He stopped thinking about matters related to the system and cast his eyes downwards towards the ground, continuing his search for prey.

Boom!

A flaming slash cut through the air and crashed into the ground. A terrifying wave of energy swept through the surroundings and it appeared especially devastating.

"What powerful energy fluctuations. It's a battle between prodigies of the Immortal Rankings Board and their rankings don't appear to be low either. Let's check it out!"

An Lin patted Da Bai's head excitedly and they started flying in the direction of the battle.

Once they were close enough, they finally saw which two people were battling.

"Xu Xiaolan!" An Lin shouted instinctively when he saw one of the figures.

He was able to recognize this extremely familiar figure straight away.

Xu Xiaolan was very skilled with the sword. During her battle, she combined the power from her Heavenly Phoenix Divine Bloodline with her sword techniques, giving rise to an astonishing power.

An extremely pure flame burst from her sword every time she brandished it about. This made her appear like a Heavenly Phoenix, not only appearing magnificent and noble, but also possessing tremendous power.

Although Xu Xiaolan was powerful, her opponent was no pushover either. He was a solidly built male who was brandishing two swords.

As his swords danced about, an airtight sword-net formed and blocked out most of Xu Xiaolan's attacks.

Not only that, but he was also able to identify weak points in Xu Xiaolan's attacks and carry out swift and fierce counterattacks.

This was a very close battle. Thus, even if Xu Xiaolan could emerge victorious, it would be a rough and difficult victory. It was inevitable that she would be injured.

An Lin felt very miserable as he could only watch on helplessly as his good friend was injured.

"An Lin, look over there!"

Da Bai suddenly shouted and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

An Lin came to his sense and looked towards where Da Bai was pointing. There, he could make out a human figure.

This person was extremely well-hidden, and their presence was suppressed to a minimal level. Moreover, their presence was further fused together with the surroundings.

If it wasn't for Da Bai's sharp eyes and being able to observe from the sky, it would have been impossible to detect him.

The person was silently observing Xu Xiaolan's battle and his intentions were evident…

"Good fellow, he actually wants to deal a last hit… Doesn't he know that the ancestor of the last hit trend is right here?!"

Fury burned in An Lin's eyes. After seeing Xu Xiaolan become injured in this battle, he was already extremely unhappy.

This fellow actually dares lay in ambush. Does he plan on attacking the injured Xu Xiaolan?

"Let him appreciate the power of the human and dog duo, woof!"

Da Bai started clamoring for battle and was already itching to go.

…

Elsewhere, on the White Jade Plaza.

Images finally started to appear on the gigantic crystal screen and the atmosphere on the plaza instantly reached a fever pitch.

The screen was split into more than ten windows and each displayed a different battle.

"Quick, look over there! It's a battle between Yang Chengwu and Luo Chenglong!"

"What's so interesting about that? Rank Three of the Immortal Rankings Board taking on Rank Thirty-six, it'll just be an insta-kill."

"Heh, he lost just as expected…"

Right as he finished speaking, Yang Chengwu's battle ended.

The tens of thousands of students each looked towards differing screens and they started discussing the events spiritedly.

Some people took notice of a certain screen.

"Quick, look over there! Isn't that male who's holding the two swords the twenty-ninth placed Xiong Sha? Who's the female fighting against him? She looks unfamiliar!"

At this moment, an observant student replied, "She appears to be a student of the newest cohort. She's called Xu Xiaolan."

"For real? She's a new student?!"

Cries of surprise sounded around the plaza. They were astonished that such a new student was actually able to hold their own against a prodigy ranked twenty-ninth on the Immortal Rankings Board.

Apart from the two supremely talented students who were already in the Spirit Nurturing Stage, her strength could already be considered in the top echelon amongst the new students.

They silently committed the beautiful and powerful girl to their memory. She had already become a rising star of the university and it was very likely that in the coming years, she would break through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

Right at this moment, another window popped up on the live-stream wall. This indicated that another battle had begun.

Whenever a new battle erupted, it would attract the gaze of most people.

At this moment, tens of thousands of students cast their eyes towards the new window.

The plaza which had been especially boisterous gradually fell silent.

More and more students cast their attention over to the new battle, and their expressions all became most peculiar.

Some wore expressions of astonishment, whilst others had an odd look on their face. Some of them even rubbed their eyes in utter disbelief.

The battle appeared extremely odd…

What they saw was a gigantic white dog sitting on a member of the Immortal Rankings Board with a sinister smile on his face.

His large paws held the prodigy's hands down firmly.

The prodigy was unable to move and had a look of terror on his face.

As for the other male, his fists were like raindrops as they rained down frenziedly upon the prodigy's face…

Chapter 34: Enigmatic An Lin

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"The person being held down by the giant dog looks like Liu Qiang. He's ranked forty-fifth on the Immortal Rankings Board."

"Brother, your eyes are so sharp! You can still recognize him even though his face has been beaten to such an extent!"

…

"Can someone please explain to me what's up with this dog?"

The moment this was said, silence once again fell over the plaza…

"I don't know what's up with the dog. However, I think that person is the new student, An Lin!"

"What… He's the one who entered this university with a Zeroth Stage Dao Body?"

On the live-stream of the battle, only the side of An Lin's face could be seen. Thus, many students did not recognize him at first glance.

After being prompted though, many students started to see the similarity between him and the portrait in the university's Famous Persons Register.

"Holy sh*t, it really is him!"

"Didn't he only have a rank of Zeroth Stage Dao Body when he enrolled? How come he's become so strong now?"

Many students were astonished by what they saw.

Even though they were only spectating the battle through a live-stream, they could tell that the power erupting from An Lin's fists was beyond that of what normal prodigies could wield.

As the fist launched, a fierce wind screamed; as the fist landed, it was swift and violent!

Shock! The most networked backdoor entrant, who entered this university with a Zeroth Stage Dao Body, unexpectedly gave a prodigy of the Immortal Rankings Board a violent pummeling!

Is this the decaying of morals, or is it the counterattack of a loser?

Many students came to a gradual realization. This was breaking news!

The atmosphere on White Jade Plaza became fiery and many students started debating this battle endlessly.

Some students speculated that An Lin had concealed his strength when he enrolled, whilst others concluded that An Lin possessed a supremely divine bloodline which had only awakened recently. What more, some female students had already started covertly inquiring about An Lin's address.

Right at this moment, another statement sounded.

"Anyhow, I'm still more keen to find out what's up with that dog…"

The moment this was said, the students on the plaza once again fell silent…

…

Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, An Lin was clueless about what was going on at White Jade Plaza.

He was busy pummeling Liu Qiang, with every one of his punches striking flesh and making a loud slamming sound!

The pitiable Liu Qiang. Before he even had the chance to make a move, An Lin had already used his fists to beat the golden defensive barrier out of him…

Liu Qiang was teary-eyed, and his lips quivered softly. With great difficulty, he opened his mouth to speak. "An Lin, f*ck you! Did I dig up your ancestor's grave?"

Sh*t! He only wanted to deal a last hit in peace.

A person and dog suddenly descended from the skies and without a single word, started beating him. More importantly, they only beat his face!

Who had he offended?

An Lin looked at him with an expression of extreme fury. It was as if he wanted to skin him alive and swallow him whole…

However, this was clearly the first time they had met!

What was with this hatred and desire for revenge?

Seeing the golden defensive barrier appear, An Lin frowned slightly. "It hurts," he said as he rubbed his slightly swollen fists.

Liu Qiang's chest tightened as he heard this, and he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

An Lin glanced at Liu Qiang.

"Oh, I'll answer your question," he continued. "You didn't dig up my ancestor's grave.

"The reason I beat you up was because you stole my business.

"Listen carefully…

"I'm the professional last hit hunter. Last hits… can only be performed by me!

"I'll definitely become the Last Hit King!"

When he finished speaking, An Lin pointed his thumb at himself. A look of complacency and triumph was plastered across his face.

Plop!

After hearing this, Liu Qiang successfully spat out the mouthful of blood which was trapped in his chest.

…

The students on White Jade Plaza were stunned once again.

The crystal screen could only record and stream, meaning that the students were unable to hear conversations taking place on the battleground.

Thus, the students only saw An Lin say something before Liu Qiang suddenly vomited blood!

"So powerful! Is this the crushing might of a powerful cultivator?"

"No, I think that it's some kind of sonic power which can injure others formlessly!"

"Holy f*ck! This magical power can even injure people through the golden defensive barrier? That's bloody badass!"

"An Lin is truly enigmatic. He's a peerless prodigy!"

…

Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.

Once Liu Qiang disappeared, An Lin once again cast his attention towards Xu Xiaolan.

Boom!

Flames erupted, and a scorching heat surged outwards.

Xu Xiaolan walked out of the flames, and as if they had a spirit of their own, the flickering flames circled around her body.

Behind her, the twenty-ninth ranked Xiong Sha was already kneeling on the floor, a golden defensive barrier appearing around him…

Seeing Xu Xiaolan's appearance, pain stabbed at An Lin's heart and he hurriedly ran up to her.

There were numerous sword wounds on her body and her plain colored daoist robes were drenched in blood. Her pretty little face appeared especially pale.

"Xu Xiaolan!" An Lin yelled.

Seeing the person running up to her, a look of joy lit up on her jade-like face. "An Lin! How come you're here?"

"I heard the sounds of battle, thus, I made my way here. Say, are you alright?" An Lin asked worriedly.

Xu Xiaolan shook her head softly. Being injured in battle was very normal, and to her, these injuries were not very serious.

Afterward, she saw the giant dog behind An Lin and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "An Lin, what's with the dog behind you?"

"Oh, him? That's Da Bai," An Lin explained.

"Ah! He's that perverted dog you told me about? The one who peeped on bathing girls?" Xu Xiaolan's eyes widened and she covered her mouth as she exclaimed in surprise.

She was clearly in disbelief that the perverted dog was in fact so mighty and fearsome!

"Woof! An Lin, is this how you normally introduce me to others?"

Da Bai was furious. "They all say that the disgrace of a family should never be spread out… Bah! They all say that the disgrace of friends should not be spread out. Can't you beautify my deeds?"

An Lin scratched his head awkwardly. Xu Xiaolan also knew of his frank and outspoken nature and knew that he had gotten himself into trouble. "Ah, I really didn't expect for Da Bai to be so adorable and mighty! Seeing is believing! Say, how did you guys meet up?" Xu Xiaolan quickly changed the topic.

Hearing Xu Xiaolan's compliments, Da Bai's expression relaxed a little.

Seeing this, An Lin continued along with Xu Xiaolan's topic and started explaining to her how he and Da Bai had met.

…

When An Lin started walking towards Xu Xiaolan after defeating Liu Qiang, the students on White Jade Plaza thought that another mighty battle was about to erupt.

However, much to their disbelief, the two people and one dog started chatting cheerfully!

"What… They were actually acquainted already…"

"Forget about it, let's watch the other battles."

Some students voiced their disappointment.

Currently, there were over ten windows on the crystal screen and each window was streaming a different battle. The students focused their attention on the battles which interested them most.

The teacher in charge of the live streams was just about to remove An Lin's stream. However, it appeared as though he had caught something and he froze, his eyes widening in astonishment.

"Quick, look at An Lin's stream!" the startled cry of a student suddenly erupted on the plaza.

Upon hearing this, many students turned their attention towards that stream. Then, as if they had witnessed something completely incomprehensible, they all became rooted to the spot, dazed.

This scene was far too beautiful. It was so beautiful that everyone forgot to breathe. The plaza once again descended into silence.

An unexpected change of events suddenly occurred amongst the two people and one dog who were chatting cheerfully.

The gigantic white dog suddenly opened his large and bloody mouth and swallowed Xu Xiaolan whole…

Chapter 35: The Gallant Human and Dog Duo

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"She died young! The dog ate a person!"

"She was swallowed whole, no less. Does it really have to be so bloody?"

Tens of thousands of students stared dazedly at the giant white dog displayed on the screen.

Even up till now, they still hadn't recovered from seeing such a young and beautiful girl be mercilessly swallowed by a fierce beast.

"Aren't they friends? How come he suddenly attacked?"

"Just as I expected, that dog is extremely abnormal. I think he's the Final Boss of this event!"

"So, who can tell me what the hell is up with that dog?"

Everyone: "…"

Right at this moment, when everyone was silent, something unexpected occurred once again. The giant white dog opened his mouth and a golden light radiated out from it, appearing extremely shocking.

"Holy f*ck! This dog can even spit out golden light!"

The students were shocked once again.

"Hang on, this seems to be the golden light emitted by the Defeat Judgement Seal…"

Some students came to their senses and a suspicion had already formed in their minds.

…

Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.

An Lin finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the golden light radiating from Da Bai's mouth. He knew that his attempt was a success!

It was only following Xu Xiaolan's request that Da Bai had swallowed her.

In the battle earlier on, Xu Xiaolan had expended all of the power coming from her Heavenly Phoenix Divine Bloodline already. This type of power was extremely hard to replenish in a short period of time.

Simply put, she had already displayed her full strength to the observing teachers.

Without the power of her divine bloodline, Xu Xiaolan would be unable to fight at her full strength. If she continued on, she would just be asking for a hard time. Thus, she was better off leaving the battleground as early as possible.

Thereupon, Da Bai used a swallowing spell and gobbled Xu Xiaolan up.

After entering Da Bai's stomach, Xu Xiaolan was unable to break out with the strength she had remaining. Moreover, the vital energy in her body was being continuously stripped away by Da Bai. This truly was a hopeless situation!

Just like that, her Defeat Judgement Seal was activated.

There was a flash of gold, and without needing to endure any extra suffering, Xu Xiaolan left the battleground.

That method worked unexpectedly well!

An Lin rubbed his chin in thought.

"Da Bai, can I request something of you?"

"What?"

"If I meet a particularly strong opponent, swallow me!"

Da Bai: "…"

After Xu Xiaolan had left, An Lin once again flew off with Da Bai and continued on his conquest.

…

There was a flash of gold on White Jade Plaza and Xu Xiaolan's tall and slender figure emerged.

Immediately afterward, the strong healing ability of the spell formation activated and started healing the sword wounds on her body.

"Such strong healing effects!"

There was a look of surprise on Xu Xiaolan's pretty face. Her wounds were healing very quickly and at this rate, she would recover fully in just a few hours.

At this moment, a voice sounded next to her ear.

"Student Xu, congratulations on escaping through a dog's mouth!"

A male student had a look of sympathy on his face as he offered his sincere blessings.

"Student Xu, it's all in the past now, don't dwell on it."

At this moment, another girl spoke.

"That's right, staying alive is most important. Wasn't it just being swallowed by a dog? There's nothing embarrassing about that!" another student consoled.

Immediately afterwards, countless students looked towards her caringly and consoled her kindly.

Xu Xiaolan: "???"

…

Two hours later, fewer than one hundred students were left in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.

In the meantime, apart from focusing on the battles of Spirit Nurturing Stage prodigies, the students paid most attention to An Lin's battles.

An Lin and Da Bai flew about freely in the sky. Once they found an opponent, they would swoop down from the skies and pounce upon them.

Do you recognize the fist descending from the skies?

Mountain Quaking Fist!

The moment the golden fist descended was the moment the opponent's nightmare began.

One had to admit, the unique fighting style of the human and dog duo attracted the attention of countless people.

Numerous prodigies ranked amongst the Immortal Rankings Board fell victim to their vicious attacks and they 'died' one after another.

Thanks to their gallant exploits, An Lin and Da Bai became famous and received a reverberant title.

This title passed from mouth to mouth amongst the tens of thousands of students and it was especially momentous.

Their title was—The Gallant Human and Dog Duo!

…

"Look! The Gallant Human and Dog Duo have set their eyes upon another prodigy of the Immortal Rankings Board!"

"Oh? Which unlucky b*stard is it this time around?"

"It's Zhou Qingyun, ranked ninety-second on the Immortal Rankings Board!"

"Oh no, so weak… I think that he'll be finished off by one strike of the Dominant Golden Fist."

"I don't think it'll be that bad. I feel that he can hold off until the second move, Dog's Takedown!"

The students were all engaged in fervent discussion and it was extremely lively.

As An Lin and Da Bai always followed a general sequence of moves when they attacked, the students took it upon themselves to name their moves. Then, they would guess which move the opponent could last till…

…

In the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, Zhou Qingyun traveled with his sword strapped to his back. He had already defeated eleven students of the Tenth Stage Dao Body and his Sword Intent had already accumulated to a frightening level.

So what if the opponent is strong. One thrust of my sword is all I need to destroy them!

"First-year, Class One, An Lin. Please enlighten me!"

A voice sounded from the skies.

Zhou Qingyun looked towards the skies. Feeling a strong presence, he shouted, "Good one. Fourth-year, Second Class, Zhou Qingyun! Please enlighten me!"

A golden fist descended from the skies. With the weight of Mt Tai 1 , it bore down towards Zhou Qingyun.

"Hahahaha, what a powerful immortal spell. Regardless of what immortal spell it is though, I'll shatter it with a single thrust of my swo-… Pfff! Ah!"

Before Zhou Qingyun could even finish his sentence, a massive wind claw appeared from thin air and smashed into his chest.

Boom!

As he was struck by the wind claw, the golden fist also arrived. The devastating power instantly knocked him to the ground.

Even though blood was frothing from his mouth, there was a look of unswerving determination in Zhou Qingyun's eyes. "Youse actually cast two spells at once, one hidden and one unhidden. Impressive!

"But so what? I'll shatter it with a single thrust of my swo-… Pfff! Ah!"

The giant figure descended from the skies and crushed down on his body. The massive force caused him to spit blood once again.

Zhou Qingyun felt a bit dizzy. Seeing the massive figure in front of him though, his eyes narrowed. So, it turns out that his opponent wasn't a human but rather a giant dog?

What the hell was going on?

The white dog even flashed him a sinister smile?

Before he could wrap his mind around what was going on, a human figure leapt down from the giant dog.

Whoosh!

The human figure was insanely quick and was upon him in an instant. Then, a torrent of punches rained down upon him…

Zhou Qingyun was beaten stupid by the devastating punches, and it took him a long time to utter out a single sentence. "Hang… hang on a second!"

Hearing Zhou Qingyun speak, An Lin stopped his flurry of fists. "Senior, what's wrong? Don't you want to continue fighting?" An Lin looked at him in confusion.

Zhou Qingyun could barely hold back his tears when he heard this.

What do you mean 'continue fighting'. You mean 'continue being beaten by you', right?

"Little Friend An Lin, do you dare face my sword thrust?"

Zhou Qingyun spoke with great difficulty.

He had already been charging up this strike for a long time. If the battle ended before he could use this move, he would feel very frustrated!

A strange look appeared on An Lin's face. "Is your zodiac sign Virgo?"

Zhou Qingyun: "???"

Seeing Zhou Qingyun's expression, An Lin chuckled. "Seems like your mortal studies isn't up to scratch."

Zhou Qingyun was still baffled: "???"

"Okay, okay. I'll let you thrust your sword once," An Lin said in exasperation.

He knew that if someone with OCD couldn't vent their feelings, they would suffocate to death!

An Lin's last sentence was one which Zhou Qingyun could finally understand.

A slight smile appeared on his face. "Is that so. Thanks, An Lin."

Da Bai, whose body was pressed down upon him, moved aside. An Lin also retreated slowly, providing him with space to move.

Zhou Qingyun was secretly overjoyed. He knew that his opportunity to turn the tables had come!

Even though he was critically injured now, he was confident that he could defeat his opponent with a single strike of his sword!

He tried to crawl up from the ground. However, he found that both his legs were trembling and he was unable to stand back up…

He tried to draw his sword. However, he found that he had temporarily lost the senses in his arms due to them being pressed down by Da Bai…

Zhou Qingyun's entire body trembled, yet he was completely unable to move.

Seeing the situation that Zhou Qingyun was in, An Lin and Da Bai exchanged a glance.

"Um… senior, do you need a hand?" An Lin asked in concern.

A tear slowly rolled out from the corner of Zhou Qingyun's eye. This tear was manifested from the grief that he was unable to conceal.

"Uh-huh, I need a hand. An Lin, please continue bashing me. Beat me until my golden defensive barrier appears…"

Chapter 36: The Upright Xuanyuan Cheng

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin was a very kind-hearted youth. He understood Zhou Qingyun's feelings and also knew of the pain that he was enduring.

Thus, he walked beside Zhou Qingyun and with a soft and gentle expression, held and raised his sword-wielding hand.

Just like that, Zhou Qingyun's hand moved along with An Lin's and the sword in his hand lightly stabbed at An Lin's knee.

"See? I've helped fulfill your wish. You've successfully thrust your sword!"

An Lin looked at Zhou Qingyun sincerely.

Tears burst out from Zhou Qingyun's eyes. "An Lin, I'll definitely pay you a visit to express my gratitude (and stab you to death, you little f*ck)!" he said shakily.

An Lin shook his head. "It's nothing much, don't mention it."

Zhou Qingyun also shook his head earnestly. "I'll definitely return the favor many times over (you can't escape)!"

An Lin sighed softly. He didn't say anything more as he proceeded to use his fists of love on Zhou Qingyun…

…

The battle between An Lin and Zhou Qingyun was displayed on the crystal screen.

Tens of thousands of students were deeply touched by their actions.

"That was such a touching battle between brothers!"

"I know right. Both the gentle look in An Lin's eyes and the masculine tears of Zhou Qingyun stirred up my emotions!"

"This is brotherly affection!"

"Nonsense! This is clearly love!" a girl protested.

It must be mentioned that from this day onwards, the battle between An Lin and Zhou Qingyun spread throughout The United University of Cultivation and became a much-told tale.

…

After defeating Zhou Qingyun, An Lin flew off on his dog and headed towards the Immortal King Peak.

The boundaries were continuously shrinking now, and it was said that they would eventually shrink to an area of just three square miles. This was forcing them to battle!

…

Elsewhere in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, there were two people facing off against one another.

A black-clothed male held a dragon-patterned spear in his hand, and his presence was domineering. He exuded an aura which felt as if he was superior to the heavens.

His talent was unsurpassed and his strength was unrivaled amongst the younger generation.

He was the target that all students of the university strived towards. He was the current head of the Immortal Rankings Board—Wang Xuanzhan!

Who was it that had the strength to face off against him?

Standing opposite of Wang Xuanzhan was a youth with an extremely fine and delicate face.

His eyes were especially pure and it was as if they were already free from the filth of this world.

His presence was subdued as he stood there and it was as if he barely existed. He was like a rock, a grain of sand, forgotten by passers-by after a single glance.

An Lin had seen this youth before… He was called Chen Chen.

This was Chen Chen, whose rank had stagnated at the Eighth Stage Dao Body ever since he entered this university.

"Chen Chen, you won't be able to escape this time!" Wang Xuanzhan's eyes were ablaze as he looked at Chen Chen.

Looking at the talented male in front of him, Chen Chen sighed softly. "Without them even realizing it, I'm gradually forgotten by other people. However, your impression of me only becomes more and more profound…

"You cling to this too strongly. At this rate, I'll become your mental demon…"

A mighty aura erupted from Wang Xuanzhan's body and his battle intent raged. "Chen Chen, ever since I entered this university, only you have received a True God's letter of recommendation just as I did. I've wanted to see which of us is stronger for a long time.

"I know that you definitely aren't weak. Yet, you avoid battle time and time again. This is already my last chance.

"You're the only opponent that I have yet to defeat. The more I'm unable to fight against you, the more I want to see which of us is stronger!"

"If I'm unable to defeat you, I'll feel ashamed to be standing atop the Immortal Rankings Board!

"You've already become my mental demon. Thus, I must grab this chance and defeat you.

"Only then can I rid myself of this mental demon!"

Listening to Wang Xuanzhan harp on, a strange expression appeared on Chen Chen's delicate face. "Wang Xuanzhan, is your zodiac sign Virgo?"

"What?" Wang Xuanzhan said in confusion.

"Ah… Your mortal studies isn't up to scratch," Chen Chen sighed.

Wang Xuanzhan: "???"

"I don't want to fight no matter what. If I'm your mental demon, then please resolve it through other means. My apologies." Chen Chen shook his head and was about to leave.

…

At this moment, on the White Jade Plaza.

Wang Xuanzhan's battle had attracted the attention of most students.

"Do you think Wang Xuanzhan will be able to fight with Chen Chen this time around?"

"Who's Chen Chen… Oh, the one facing off against him is Chen Chen. I almost forgot about him!"

"What you should be asking is, how long is it before Chen Chen can escape from the palm of Wang Xuanzhan's hands?"

"That's right! Chen Chen has all types of strange escape techniques. His title as the university's strongest escapee isn't just for show!"

"M-hm… that makes sense. After all, he's already escaped three times, taking just an instant each time. Wang Xuanzhan can't do anything about him!"

"Maybe Wang Xuanzhan has something up his sleeve this time?"

"Every time he attends the free-for-all battle event, Wang Xuanzhan says that he has something up his sleeve to target Chen Chen. Have you ever seen him succeed?"

"That…"

On the plaza, students were engaged in heated conversations. Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, the battle was about to erupt any second now.

"Chen Chen, I've successfully mastered the White Dragon Spear Intent already. You have no chance to escape!"

Wang Xuanzhan could tell that Chen Chen wanted to leave, so he fully released his aura in this instant. A white ray of light shone brilliantly on his spear and it was like a dragon as he thrust it outwards, cutting off Chen Chen's escape route.

Right at this moment, a male clothed in white flew over on his sword, becoming a streak of white and landing right in front of Chen Chen.

"Who are you?! Why are you obstructing the battle between Chen Chen and I?!"

Wang Xuanzhan was extremely displeased with this unexpected visitor.

"I'm First-year, Class One's Xuanyuan Cheng." The male was extremely elegant, and he saluted gracefully before introducing himself.

"You're Xuanyuan Cheng?" Wang Xuanzhan narrowed his eyes and his expression eased a little. "Although you're also extremely talented, you still shouldn't stick your nose into other peoples' battles. If you want to fight me, wait until I finish dealing with Chen Chen!"

Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head softly. "The reason I came here was to stop this battle between you and Senior Chen."

Anger bubbled inside Wang Xuanzhan as he heard this. "What's our battle have to do with you?!"

"Senior Wang has a rank of Spirit Nurturing Final Stage. Yet, he wants to fight against Senior Chen, who only has a rank of Eighth Stage Dao Body. I can't stand by idly and watch this unfold."

Hearing this, Wang Xuanzhan became even more furious. "We're supposed to freely choose our opponents in this free-for-all battle event. What are you doing meddling in other people's business?!"

"When a large gap exists between the two parties, it is likely that the weaker of the two will suffer great damage. Lives have even been lost. It is our duty to protect the weak!" Xuanyuan Cheng frowned.

"Weaklings aren't fit to survive in this world. Yet, it is exactly due to this that we have more reasons to give them a chance, a chance for them to grow stronger!"

Wang Xuanzhan grimaced. Where do Xuanyuan Cheng's theories all come from?he thought to himself.

Fury welled up in his chest. "Chen Chen is concealing his true strength, he's a powerful individual!" he continued, forcefully suppressing his anger.

"Then, does Senior Wang know what Senior Chen's true rank is?" Xuanyuan Cheng asked.

"That…" Wang Xuanzhan had never fought against Chen Chen before. How could he know what his true strength was?

Seeing Wang Xuanzhan's hesitation, Xuanyuan Cheng knew that he had made the correct decision. "If Senior Chen truly is of the Eighth Stage Dao Body, then wouldn't he be faced with great danger against you? Senior Wang, why bother?" he persuaded with a warm and gentle expression on his face.

"Are you going to move aside or not?" Wang Xuanzhan glared at him furiously.

He truly could not understand why the male in front of him was so nosy and talkative…

An indescribable irritation and rage was about to erupt from his chest.

"No," Xuanyuan Cheng replied with a look of determination.

Just like that, Wang Xuanzhan finally erupted…

"What audacity! I've f*cking had enough of your sh*t!

"Eat my spear!"

As Wang Xuanzhan's spear stabbed furiously towards Xuanyuan Cheng, it transformed into an azure dragon which roared at the heavens!

Chapter 37: Wang Xuanzhan VS Xuanyuan Cheng

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xuanyuan Cheng was already prepared for battle since a while ago. Faced with this astonishingly powerful stab, he didn't dodge or evade. He grasped a sword in his hand and received the attack head-on.

Boom!

A devastating power erupted from their first collision, and the earth within a thirty feet radius split and cracked open.

Xuanyuan Cheng had lit the fuse to Wang Xuanzhan's short-temper a long time ago.

Thus, Wang Xuanzhan used his full strength right from the beginning, wishing only to end the battle as soon as possible.

An azure dragon was wrapped around his spear, and his stab, upwards slash and sweep all possessed an invincible might.

Xuanyuan Cheng kept retreating as he avoided Wang Xuanzhan's attacks. His own sword flashed about, forming a sphere of air around him.

Every time Wang Xuanzhan's spear stabbed into this sphere of air, the power it carried would be hindered by a thick and viscous force. When this occurred, Xuanyuan Cheng would take advantage of Wang Xuanzhan's moment of sluggishness and either dodge or block his attack.

Xuanyuan Cheng knew that Wang Xuanzhan was very powerful. If he fought with him recklessly, he would be defeated very quickly.

As such, he used his most powerful defensive technique, only defending and not attacking. He strived to gain more time for Chen Chen to escape.

"Senior Chen, why are you still here? Hurry up and escape!" Xuanyuan Cheng shouted at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen: "…"

Xuanyuan Cheng's defense was an utter nuisance and Wang Xuanzhan felt especially distressed.

Hearing what Xuanyuan Cheng shouted at Chen Chen, he erupted once again. He directly entered into his second form in a fit of fury.

This time, not only was there an azure dragon wrapped around his spear, but he himself also transformed into a dragon!

Azure colored dragon scales appeared on Wang Xuanzhan's body and his aura suddenly shot up to the Spirit Nurturing Pinnacle Stage.

"You actually have the bloodline of the dragon tribe?!" Xuanyuan Cheng's expression changed upon seeing this.

…

Almost all the students on White Jade Plaza turned their attention to Wang Xuanzhan's battle.

Indeed, this was a battle between the strongest of the Immortal Rankings Board and the strongest of the new cohort.

In addition, this was a battle between two students who had both received a True God's letter of recommendation. This was a battle which had numerous points of interest.

"It's over, Wang Xuanzhan has already activated his dragon bloodline. He's going to fight at full strength!"

The student who opened his mouth appeared an able person and a cut above the crowd. He had a small mustache and wore a carefree and leisurely expression.

"Student Pan, you mentioned dragon bloodline. Could it be that Senior Wang is a member of the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas?" a cute looking girl asked curiously.

At the same time, many of the surrounding students looked towards Senior Pan curiously.

An enigmatic expression emerged on Senior Pan's face. It was clear that he especially enjoyed this kind of attention.

What a joke! He was Pan Buyu, ranked twentieth on the Immortal Rankings Board. Students looking at him with an expression of deep respect and reverence was merely the norm!

"Wang Xuanzhan isn't from the Dragon Court. His dragon bloodline is inherited from an ancient dragon. This is an extremely ancient type of bloodline inheritance.

"How he attained his dragon bloodline is a mystery to us. However, what is certain is that the power provided to him by this ancient dragon bloodline is what earned him the appreciation of a True God!"

Pan Buyu's explanation allowed the students to suddenly understand Wang Xuanzhan's power.

A True God could defeat the entire Dragon Court all by himself. How could the bloodline of the Dragon Court compare to a bloodline which was appreciated and valued highly by a True God?

"Then… how much longer does Senior Pan think Xuanyuan Cheng can last?" a girl from first-year asked timidly.

She really adored Xuanyuan Cheng. Hearing Pan Buyu's comments just now, she instantly became anxious for Xuanyuan Cheng.

Pan Buyu chuckled and held up one finger.

"A quarter of an hour 1 ?" the girl blinked.

"No… He can't last a single strike!" Pan Buyu said seriously.

Once this left his mouth, it swept through the crowd in an instant and stirred everyone up.

One after another, expressions of surprise and astonishment appeared on their faces. As if in shock, the girl's body shivered upon hearing this.

He can't even last a single strike? That has got to be a joke, right?!

However, Pan Buyu was a powerful cultivator ranked in the Spirit Nurturing Stage. Furthermore, he had fought with Xuanyuan Cheng before.

Thus, his comments carried a lot of authority.

Even if there were those who didn't believe him, they wouldn't say it to his face.

Everyone was tense as they looked towards the image on the crystal screen. If Pan Buyu's analysis was reliable, then this battle was about to end!

Like everyone else, Pan Buyu looked towards Xuanyuan Cheng on the screen. He sighed softly.

If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for being too nosy. Wang Xuanzhan's next attack is really painful! he thought to himself.

I know this because Wang Xuanzhan's strike under this state was exactly what defeated me last year…

…

Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.

Wang Xuanzhan, who had activated the power of the ancient dragon bloodline, was covered in azure scales. Furthermore, his eyes had become gold and a boundless might radiated from them.

He pointed his spear at Xuanyuan Cheng.

"To defeat you, I only need one strike!" he said coldly.

Wang Xuanzhan moved. This time, his body moved along with the spear and his movement was lightning quick.

The path he took drew out the shadow of an azure dragon and the tip of his spear was the azure dragon's fang.

Howl!

The cry of the azure dragon was extremely intimidating, and the ferocious power of the spear was unstoppable.

Xuanyuan Cheng felt as if the spear tip had reached him the instant that Wang Xuanzhan launched his attack!

In that instant, he felt as if he was facing off against a giant ancient dragon.

A crushing pressure surged towards him from every direction.

If it was a normal Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator who was faced with this situation, they would almost certainly give up all hope of resistance.

However, Xuanyuan Cheng remained very calm.

"Rotating Heaven and Earth."

A vacant look appeared in his eyes and it was as if they had lost their focus.

The spear tip approached his body and the sword in his hand started moving. It looked very slow, yet it collided with the spear tip in a timely manner…

A black and white figure composed of two fish shapes formed under his feet and his sword slowly deflected at an abstruse angle.

Boom!

An azure dragon surged outwards and the extremely fierce spear attack tore apart one hundred feet of ground in front of him, forming a pitch-black chasm.

Blood slowly dripped to the floor…

Xuanyuan Cheng was injured.

However, there was a look of astonishment on Wang Xuanzhan's face. "You actually dodged it?!"

The spear had punctured Xuanyuan Cheng's shoulder, and his left arm was drenched in blood.

He didn't reply. Rather, he took advantage of Wang Xuanzhan's astonishment to retreat and increase the distance between them.

"Senior Chen, if you still don't escape then I won't be able to hold on for much longer. At most, I can only block five more strikes. Hurry!"

When he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Cheng once again took a defensive stance.

Wang Xuanzhan: "…"

Chen Chen: "…"

…

Somewhere on White Jade Plaza, countless students turned their gaze towards Senior Pan.

To this, Pan Buyu remained silent, maintaining his appearance of an able and superior individual.

What a joke! He was Pan Buyu, ranked twentieth on the Immortal Rankings Board. Students looking at him with an expression of deep respect and reverence was merely the norm!

However…

Senior Pan did not appear to be enjoying himself at this moment.

His face was flushed red and it felt a little hot…

…

Above the area where Wang Xuanzhan and Xuanyuan Cheng were battling in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, Earth Immortal Cang Qing was observing them.

When he saw Xuanyuan Cheng dodge Wang Xuanzhan's most powerful strike, his expression involuntarily changed.

"Xuanyuan Cheng has indeed proved himself to be a one-in-one-hundred-years prodigy of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect. He's got a grasp of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Taichi Method at such a young age!

"M-hm… Based on this strike alone, his combat capability is far beyond that of Pan Buyu…"

Chapter 38: Formidable Entrance

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The battle between Wang Xuanzhan and Xuanyuan Cheng erupted once again. Vital energy would surge and explode every time the spear and sword collided, and the power it emitted was absolutely terrifying.

If ordinary people came close to their battle, it was possible that they would accidentally die due to being struck by the shockwaves produced.

Wang Xuanzhan didn't use his shockingly powerful spear attack anymore. After all, that wasn't a strike that could be used willfully.

Xuanyuan Cheng was already injured, and it was just a matter of time before he was defeated.

Most importantly, Chen Chen still hadn't left.

Wang Xuanzhan decided to save some energy to deal with Chen Chen. Thus, he tried to avoid using attacks which consumed large amounts of energy whenever he could.

Outside of the battle, Chen Chen also had an undecided look on his face.

If he chose to leave, Wang Xuanzhan would definitely pay a large price and go all out in an attempt to end this battle as quickly as possible.

At that time, Xuanyuan Cheng would definitely suffer an extremely cruel and miserable loss.

Chen Chen felt that it would be unfair to Xuanyuan Cheng—who stood bravely in front of him with no regard for his own safety—if he did that.

However, if he didn't leave, would Xuanyuan Cheng become infuriated to the point of spitting blood?

After all, he had created an opportunity for him to escape out of good-will, yet, he remained here and watched on…

"Sigh, how come I've come across something so troublesome…"

The expression on Chen Chen's small and delicate face was as if he had experienced great vicissitudes. He felt as if he had aged a full day.

"Forget about it. I'll wait till Xuanyuan Cheng finishes his battle."

After making up his mind, a look of indifference resurfaced on his small face and he remained in the same spot, continuing to spectate the battle.

Wang Xuanzhan was already a powerful cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage. Now that he had activated the power of his bloodline, his strength was off the charts.

Every strike of his possessed an enormous power and Xuanyuan Cheng was repeatedly injured as he was forced into a continuous retreat.

Right at this moment, a giant dog flew past unhurriedly. Sitting on the dog was a relatively handsome male.

He swept his gaze across the battle and the expression on his face suddenly changed.

"Bowing Dragon Head!"

Wang Xuanzhan detected a weak point in Xuanyuan Cheng's defense, and his spear smashed down.

As the spear fell, a shadow of an azure dragon appeared and pounced down towards Xuanyuan Cheng.

Boom!

The azure dragon broke through Xuanyuan Cheng's sphere of air and exploded loudly.

Instantly, a startling amount of energy exploded outwards and the ground within a thirty feet radius of Xuanyuan Cheng completely caved in.

Xuanyuan Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood and his body swayed about slightly. Finally, he was unable to support himself and fell backward.

A golden defensive barrier appeared around his body. Xuanyuan Cheng had lost!

Wang Xuanzhan panted heavily. He didn't expect for Xuanyuan Cheng to be able to last for so long. Even defeating a powerful cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage wasn't this difficult. The difficulty of this battle was far beyond what he had anticipated.

He turned his gaze to Chen Chen and a look of eagerness appeared on his face. "Finally! There's no one here to disrupt our battle now. I'll definitely…"

Before he could finish speaking, an angry howl came from the skies.

"What audacity! You actually dare injure Big Brother Cheng 1 ?! Accept your death!"

After this howl, a person and dog descended from the skies!

Looking towards the sky, Wang Xuanzhan's face twitched…

What's up with me today? Who did I offend?

…

Chen Chen had originally planned on escaping. Yet, seeing the scene in the sky, he became baffled and remained where he stood.

The loudest response came from Xuanyuan Cheng, who started shouting when he saw who it was that had come. "Student An Lin, don't come over! Hurry up and escape!"

However, the person and dog in the sky had no intention of leaving. Rather, they dashed over even faster!

Xuanyuan Cheng's mind felt fatigued. He had initially thought that him stepping forward boldly would allow for Chen Chen to escape.

Everything was even worse now. Chen Chen didn't escape and now An Lin had also come forward to his doom…

…

On White Jade Plaza, the students who had witnessed Xuanyuan Cheng's battle all exclaimed in astonishment at his performance.

"Who would've thought that such a powerful individual would emerge from the new students. He was actually able to last for that long under Wang Xuanzhan's all-out attack!"

"From the strength he displayed, he's even more powerful than some cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage."

"Uh-huh. I'm afraid that in two or three years, the top place of the Immortal Rankings Board will be his."

"Ah! Student Xuanyuan Cheng is so handsome! Even though he lost, his white robes are still fluttering in the wind and he still appears graceful and elegant!"

"Damned screen. Can't you zoom in so I can look at Student Xuanyuan Cheng's face properly?"

"The cameraman doesn't need to go to work tomorrow!"

Xuanyuan Cheng's fangirls were irate and they protested loudly…

Right at this moment, a dog-riding figure appeared on the screen.

The familiarity of this scene had the students dazed.

"Holy f*ck! It's the Gallant Human and Dog Duo!"

"What are they doing here? It can't be that they're here to smash the Dominant Golden Toxic Fist into Wang Xuanzhan's face, right?"

"Forget about the Dominant Golden Toxic Fist. Even if they use the entirety of the Eighteen Forms Dog Pounce, they'll be unable to defend a single one of Wang Xuanzhan's spear attacks!"

"Being able to clearly recognize the gap between your strength and the strength of others is of utmost importance. If they didn't rush towards their own doom, they could have still bobbled around for a little while longer…"

The appearance of An Lin and Da Bai once again caused waves amongst the tens of thousands of students.

However, many students weren't optimistic about their chances. Moreover, they even felt slightly disappointed.

Why do you have to take things so seriously? Can't you seek out other students? We still want to see more of the Gallant Human and Dog Duo…

…

Above the barrier.

When the white-haired and white-bearded Earth Immortal Cang Qing saw the human and dog make their formidable entrance, his heart throbbed in pain.

"Are these the weirdos that Earth Immortal Yue Ying mentioned? Sure enough, they're out of the ordinary…"

Earth Immortal Cang Qing lightly stroked his beard as he spoke.

Their data was already in his hands and after seeing it, he almost yanked his own beard off. Not only was his heart throbbing in pain, but even his head was throbbing in pain now.

An Lin—Combat Capability: 260; Achievement Score: 1010

Da Bai, An Lin's Summoned Beast—Combat Capability: 400; Achievement Score: 630

What the hell is a Summoned Beast? Are there such things as Summoned Beasts in the cultivation world?!

And what's with that achievement score? It's split in half?

Is this the method that Earth Immortal Yue Ying came up with to resolve this issue? It's way too sloppy!

To enter the top one-hundred and break into the Immortal Rankings Board, students needed a combat capability of at least 250. Students of the Spirit Nurturing Stage usually had a combat capability of above 350.

An Lin entered the university with a rank of Zeroth Stage Dao Body and he also sleeps through his classes. His strength can rank into the top one-hundred after cultivating for a mere four months?

Also, what the hell is with that bloody achievement score of 1010? Is he trying to break the school's record?!

There was a myriad of things Earth Immortal Cang Qing wanted to say. It felt extremely uncomfortable trying to keep them in his mind…

Finally, he came to a realization.

If it exists, then there is a rationale behind its existence. Since this bloody human and dog duo are still able to exist here, then there is definitely a rationale for their existence!

Let me continue recording data based on Earth Immortal Yue Ying's method. Ultimately, it's Celestial Immortal Yu Hua who needs to worry about this anyway…

I'll just let Vice-principal Yu Hua deal with this kind of troublesome matter!

…

An Lin was up in the sky and, upon seeing Xuanyuan Cheng being teleported out with his body riddled with injuries, he became even more furious.

"You really couldn't bully anyone else but my Big Brother Cheng? Da Bai, go kill him!"

"If you have the ability, then you go first! Woof!"

An Lin: "… let's go together!"

Da Bai: "Let's go together, woof!"

Chapter 39: Finger of the Heavenly Dao

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wang Xuanzhan never would have thought that after beating a nosy individual, another individual would mysteriously come seeking revenge.

Most importantly, this person was seeking revenge for that nosy individual!

What the heck was this!?

Moreover, it was a human and dog duo. Where did these freaks come from?!

Wang Xuanzhan had always been short-tempered and his jaws were now clenched in fury. He felt as though he had been trampled over by ten thousand mythological beasts, and he could barely describe how f*cked he felt.

"First-year, Class One, An Lin. Please enlighten me!"

"An Lin's Summoned Beast, Da Bai. Please enlighten me, woof!"

Wang Xuanzhan: "…"

Wang Xuanzhan decided that he would stab through the two of them with a single thrust of his spear and make them into a shish kebab!

However, just as the battle was about to break out, a figure suddenly dashed between Wang Xuanzhan and An Lin.

Seeing the figure which suddenly appeared, both Wang Xuanzhan and An Lin paused.

"Senior, don't try to stop me! Hurry up and move aside!" An Lin said worriedly.

"Wang Xuanzhan and I have actually already agreed to do battle here. Regardless of how worried you are, you still need to abide by the first come first serve principle. What do you say, An Lin?"

Chen Chen spoke in a refined and courteous manner and he looked towards An Lin with his clear eyes.

Hearing this, a look of disbelief appeared on An Lin's face. "Senior, your rank is only that of Eighth Stage Dao Body. You want to battle against this senior who has a rank of the Spirit Nurturing Stage?"

Chen Chen nodded seriously and even An Lin was able to detect the unwavering determination on his face.

An Lin had nothing to refute him with. Thus, he could only hold in his anger and move aside with Da Bai.

Wang Xuanzhan was ecstatic when he saw this. He never would have expected for Chen Chen to actively seek battle.

What he felt now was something like this:

Just as he was about to marry a sow, a female of heavenly beauty suddenly appeared and kicked aside the sow. Then, she insisted that he enter the bridal chamber with her…

"Senior Chen, is what you said just then true?!"

Wang Xuanzhan's battle intent started to burst out. His dragon might surged about like raging billows, and his eyes were glowing as he gazed at Chen Chen.

"That's right. Come at me," Chen Chen sighed softly.

He knew that if he didn't stop An Lin, then An Lin would also suffer the same fate as Xuanyuan Cheng.

Having people continuously covering for him made him feel very peculiar.

He was very clear-minded at this moment. He knew that at the very least, he couldn't let these adorable students rush to their doom because of him…

"Alright!"

Hearing Chen Chen's reply, Wang Xuanzhan finally erupted.

In this instant, the battle intent which he had been building up for over three years all surged out!

Boom!

The scales on Wang Xuanzhan's body all quivered. His golden eyes possessed a dragon might which gazed upon all matter with a look of arrogance, and the power of the ancient dragon bloodline was completely released.

After releasing his battle intent, the wind howled fiercely. Dark clouds gathered up in the sky. The cries of dragons and booming of thunder could be vaguely heard.

Seeing this, a look of astonishment spread over Earth Immortal Cang Qing's face. "This… is a Heavenly Phenomenon?!"

In the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas, only Dragon Kings of the Soul Formation Stage would be able to utilize the power of their bloodline and incite Heavenly Phenomena. Wang Xuanzhan though, was able to accomplish this in just the Spirit Nurturing Stage. This truly gave Earth Immortal Cang Qing a fright.

"No one's going to die right…" Earth Immortal Cang Qing wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and looked towards Chen Chen anxiously.

Chen Chen's strength was a mystery. Although he'd been stuck on the Eighth Stage Dao Body for the past five years, no one would believe it if it was said that his strength was only that of the Eighth Stage Dao Body.

Just looking at the technique he used to escape from the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, it was clear that it wasn't a technique that could be used by ordinary Eighth Stage Dao Body students. That was a technique that even the teachers could not understand!

However, the strength of Wang Xuanzhan—who had all guns blazing—had already reached an insanely terrifying level. Even if Chen Chen was concealing his strength, it couldn't be that his true strength could tear apart the heavens, right?

What should I do if Chen Chen accidentally dies under Wang Xuanzhan's all-out attacks?

Earth Immortal Cang Qing had a massive headache. After pondering for a moment, he finally decided to use his ultimate move. He took out a jade seal and crushed it.

Summon Mario!

Bah! I mean Summon Vice-principal Yu Hua!

A thick bolt of lightning descended from the dark clouds and struck Wang Xuanzhan's spear.

Instantly, a lighting dragon wrapped around the spear and bestowed upon it the terrifying might of heaven and earth.

"This move of mine is called the Lightning Dragon Spear. Are you ready to receive this move?"

In this instant, Wang Xuanzhan was like a God of War. Thunder boomed as he spoke, and the massive noise caused heaven and earth to tremor.

Chen Chen remained silent and signaled for him to continue.

Wang Xuanzhan moved. He held the lightning dragon intertwined spear in his hand and thrust it towards Chen Chen.

The speed at which he moved was indescribable.

Like a bolt of lightning, Wang Xuanzhan was upon Chen Chen in an instant.

The spear was before him, and it possessed an invincible might which would render one unable to breathe.

Chen Chen's expression didn't change. He raised his hand and extended his index finger, pointing it between Wang Xuanzhan's brows.

In this instant, the heaven and earth became still at Chen Chen's fingertip.

Wang Xuanzhan's body froze where he stood and he felt an indescribable terror as he looked towards Chen Chen's fingertip. The finger grew larger and larger and the might of the Heavenly Dao enveloped his entire body.

Wang Xuanzhan's body trembled slightly. He saw a finger which could tear through the skies bearing down towards him. If this finger landed on him, it would definitely obliterate both his body and soul.

He felt as if he was an ant when he was before this heaven-crushing finger!

Tsss, tsss…

It was as if the lightning dragon on his spear had come across something extremely frightening, and it turned into countless arcs of electricity as it scurried and scattered.

Wang Xuanzhan instantly lost all his battle intent. He had a frightened expression as he retreated, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed and rays of sunshine once again beamed down upon the earth…

Chen Chen was covered in a soft glow and as before, he looked spotless and pure.

"W-What technique is this!" Wang Xuanzhan's lips quivered as he stammered.

"Finger of the Heavenly Dao," Chen Chen saluted as he spoke.

When he finished speaking, he turned to leave.

As Wang Xuanzhan looked toward Chen Chen's disappearing figure, he couldn't raise any thought of stopping him.

His battle intent had been obliterated. Fear would grip at his heart whenever he thought back to the finger which deprived heaven and earth of any luster…

"Heh, I'm such a joke…" he murmured softly.

Wang Xuanzhan laughed mockingly at himself as he sat down on the ground, defeated.

An Lin, who was spectating the battle from afar, felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart as he witnessed Chen Chen extend his finger. Immediately afterwards, a splitting headache throbbed in his head.

"Ow! It hurts!"

An Lin collapsed to the floor and held his head as he screamed in pain.

The pain he was suffering was unimaginable and he felt as if his head was going to explode.

In his mind, the system radiated brilliantly:

"Finger of the Heavenly Dao, a finger which possesses the fundamental Great Dao of the Heaven and Earth.

"Initial mastery will allow one to annihilate all beings. Ultimate mastery will allow one to shatter the void, traverse through time and space, and obliterate the Great Dao…

"A defect exists in the Heavenly Dao. Both the Heaven Obliterating Faction and Heaven Mending Faction propose paths to attaining the True Dao. This is a technique of the Heaven Obliterating Faction."

A stream of information started surging into An Lin's mind. However, his head was hurting so much at this moment that he was unable to digest this information. All he could do was grip his head in pain.

Da Bai stood at his side, baffled. He couldn't understand why Wang Xuanzhan stopped attacking and collapsed to the ground in fright after Chen Chen extended his finger in such an ordinary manner.

He also couldn't understand why An Lin suddenly started rolling about on the floor after seeing that finger.

…

On White Jade Plaza, tens of thousands of students were similarly baffled.

They looked at one another. At most, they would rub their eyes before casting their attention back to the screen.

They had a strong urge to say something or come up with some speculation to explain what had just happened.

Yet, they quickly realized that they couldn't explain the situation at all!

All they saw was the mighty Wang Xuanzhan collapsing to the ground in fright after being pointed at by Chen Chen's ordinary finger.

The scene was far too strange. Which angle could they dissect it from?

Could it be that Chen Chen forgot to put on the special effects when he used his technique?

If someone truly made such speculation, then congratulations, because they would have been half-correct in their guess!

When Chen Chen used his technique, he only used special effects on one person, that being Wang Xuanzhan. Others didn't have the fortune of witnessing it…

Above the barrier, Earth Immortal Cang Qing's eyes bulged as he saw this. It was also precisely this scene which caused him to involuntarily pull out a few strands of his white beard.

"Holy f*ck! What on earth happened? Can someone explain it to me?!"

Earth Immortal Cang Qing was completely baffled and he almost burst into tears.

It was excusable that the students were baffled. However, he was a teacher in charge of evaluating the students' combat capability!

Wang Xuanzhan lost to Chen Chen, right?

Then, who can tell me how I should record Chen Chen's combat capability?

Even he himself didn't f*cking understand Chen Chen's finger. What right did he have to assess his combat capability?

Earth Immortal Cang Qing turned his head towards the male standing in the void next to him and there was a pleading look in his eyes.

This male had thick black brows and a thick black mustache. His appearance was especially delightful.

That's right, he was the one who promptly rushed over after Earth Immortal Cang Qing crushed his jade seal—Vice-principal Yu Hua!

Vice-principal Yu Hua also witnessed the scene which unfolded a moment ago.

"Sigh… Cang Qing…"

"I was observing other battles with my divine sense just then. How about you report to me what just happened?" Celestial Immortal Yu Hua had a calm expression on his face as he spoke.

Cang Qing's face twitched.

Vice-principal, can't you find a better excuse? Although my beard is white, that doesn't mean I have dementia already!

Chapter 40: Stupefied Wang Xuanzhan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Earth Immortal Cang Qing sighed. His expression was gloomy and he didn't know what to say.

Right at this moment, Vice-principal Yu Hua spoke again.

He spoke seriously this time and the joking tone disappeared from his voice. "Cang Qing, just pretend that you didn't witness Student Chen Chen's move."

Cang Qing was stumped upon hearing this. Just as he was feeling confused, Vice-principal Yu Hua spoke again.

"Everything will become hazy, affairs of this world will settle like ashes…

"This time, Chen Chen is at fault.

"As teachers, all we can do now is rectify the faults of our students. Do you understand?"

Earth Immortal Cang Qing finally came to a realization after mulling over Vice-principal Yu Hua's words for a short while, and everything became open and clear.

"Cang Qing understands!"

Earth Immortal Cang Qing bowed his head respectfully and saluted towards Celestial Immortal Yu Hua.

Seeing Earth Immortal Cang Qing's action, Vice-principal Yu Hua nodded in approval.

Immediately afterward, he turned his attention toward the ground.

There was still a person who he was relatively interested in. That person was An Lin, who was currently rolling about on the ground.

…

An Lin didn't know how long his headache lasted for. However, he felt as if it dragged on for an eternity.

This type of devastating pain was seared deeply into his mind.

He could definitely write a ten-thousand-word essay describing the kind of pain that he felt!

"Ow! This pain… it almost killed me!"

An Lin rubbed his head. He stood up with great difficulty and his entire body was drenched in sweat.

"Ha, you're still alive though, woof!" Da Bai looked towards An Lin—who appeared as though he was fine now—and happily wagged his tail.

Chen Chen had already left and the battleground was silent.

Looking toward Wang Xuanzhan, who was still sitting on the floor with a vacant look in his eyes, An Lin became a little hesitant.

"Da Bai, do you think we should still go ahead and fight with him?" Seeing the defeated and dazed Wang Xuanzhan, he couldn't really bring himself to fight against him.

"Of course we should! Isn't pulverizing an already defeated enemy what we like doing most?" Da Bai said proudly.

"Don't say such things so proudly, okay?" There was a hint of exasperation in An Lin's voice.

As An Lin and Da Bai were discussing whether or not they should fight, Wang Xuanzhan had already stood up shakily.

He saw that An Lin and Da Bai still hadn't left and his expression became dark.

"You two didn't take the chance to escape. What's your reason for staying here? Are you here to ridicule me?"

Step by step, Wang Xuanzhan walked towards An Lin, and fury gradually filled his mind.

"Do you think that I'm an easy target because I lost to Chen Chen? Are you going to try in vain to defeat me so that your name can resound through the Heavenly Court?

"I'm telling you, even though I lost to Chen Chen, I'm still countless times more powerful than you!

"You want to defeat me? Dream on!

"I'll let you know what a gap in power is truly like!"

Wang Xuanzhan's eyes became gold again, and the power in his body surged outwards like a raging wave.

He needed another battle to rediscover his battle intent!

An Lin had originally proposed to leave. Now, they were stuck in a wonderful situation. Wang Xuanzhan had come over and started babbling a load of crap right away. Then, a large amount of power erupted from his body and he suddenly wanted to attack him. He wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to!

"Woof! He indeed deserves to be ranked first on the Immortal Rankings Board. After receiving such a shock, he's still able to recover back into his God of War state so quickly!

"An Lin, we had better escape!" Da Bai suddenly exclaimed.

An Lin almost blacked out from anger. "Weren't you the one clamoring for battle just then? Now you want to escape? It's too late already!" he yelled furiously.

Da Bai stuck his tongue out in embarrassment.

Initially, he had thought that since he and Wang Xuanzhan were both ranked in the Spirit Nurturing Stage, the gap in power between them probably wouldn't be large.

However, after witnessing the battle between Wang Xuanzhan and Chen Chen, he became intimidated by the power of Wang Xuanzhan's bloodline. After a number of twists and turns, Wang Xuanzhan finally lost to Chen Chen in a mysterious manner. At the same time, he lost all his battle intent.

Witnessing this, Da Bai started scheming in his mind. He wanted to experience the thrill of riding upon a grounded dragon.

Coincidentally…

Wang Xuanzhan also intended on battling them to rediscover his battle intent and practice his spear techniques. Moreover, he was in a fairly decent state. What were they to do?!

"An Lin, how about this. I'll swallow you first. How does that sound?"

In critical moments, Da Bai was still very loyal. After realizing that they had no chance of winning, he planned on using a gentle method to teleport An Lin out of the battleground.

An Lin shook his head and sighed softly. Then, he stood in front of Da Bai and faced Wang Xuanzhan head-on!

Not understanding An Lin's actions, Da Bai's large black eyes widened. "An Lin, even if we fight, I should be the one in charge of attacking and you should be the one responsible for providing support. What are you doing standing in front of me?"

"Uh… I want to test out a new move. If it's ineffective, then you can take charge!" An Lin spoke hesitantly and he clearly didn't have any confidence.

Da Bai: "…"

…

At this moment, on White Jade Plaza.

The students had just started regaining their senses after the battle between Chen Chen and Wang Xuanzhan. Then, they saw that Wang Xuanzhan was going to fight against the Gallant Human and Dog Duo. They had just started to calm down but now, they were anxious once again.

This was especially the case with Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan, both of who had just returned to White Jade Plaza. An anxious expression was plastered on their face.

At the same time, some students on the plaza started rejoicing in their misfortune. These were all the students who had been defeated by the human and dog duo. Right now, there was a look of eager anticipation on their faces. They all thought, Humph! An Lin, aren't you really capable? Now, I'll watch on to witness how you become brutally defeated!

Being a highly experienced senior, Pan Buyu recovered slightly from the awkward situation he was in.

He saw on the crystal screen that a battle was about to erupt between Wang Xuanzhan and the Gallant Human and Dog Duo. He felt that it was time to save some face. Thus, he started to speak slowly.

"In the battle against Chen Chen, Wang Xuanzhan's invincible battle intent was shattered. Now, he doesn't possess such unparalleled battle intent anymore.

"However, he's already starting to slowly recover from the previous battle now, and he still possesses the power of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage.

"He'll use the Gallant Human and Dog Duo as a whetstone for his spear and return to the pinnacle of his power!"

Even though there was no wind, Pan Buyu's long robe fluttered about, making him appear both majestic and refined.

His remarks drew the attention of numerous students, and he became a central figure amongst a certain section of the crowd.

…

Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.

Seeing that An Lin dared to step forward and face his spear by himself, Wang Xuanzhan's chest tightened and a menacing glint burst out from his eyes.

"A person of the Ninth Stage Dao Body actually dares to face me alone?!

"Very well. Do you think I'm a weakling just because I was defeated by the Eighth Stage Dao Body ranked Chen Chen?!"

An Lin didn't reply to this. He remained silent and stood still, waiting for Wang Xuanzhan to attack.

An Lin's actions made Wang Xuanzhan furious. A measly cultivator of the Ninth Stage Dao Body actually dared to face him in battle? For a proud person such as him, this was a massive humiliation.

"Watch out!"

Wang Xuanzhan didn't waste any more of his breath. A spear, which was intertwined with an azure dragon formed by vital energy, stabbed violently outwards.

This thrust was insanely powerful. Even if it was a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, if they didn't dodge this thrust, they would be killed.

However, An Lin didn't dodge this thrust, and he extended a finger outward.

Such a familiar scene. Such a familiar action. The only difference was the person using this technique.

At this moment, Wang Xuanzhan was reminded of the dread that the Finger of the Heavenly Dao brought upon him.

Boom!

Everything darkened. It was as if the only thing left in existence was An Lin's finger, a finger which contained the Paramount Dao.

Wang Xuanzhan's eyes bulged out and a look of surprise and terror surfaced on his face. He felt as if he was confronted by an invincible being. He felt as if he was about to die!

Even when he was facing Chen Chen's finger, he didn't feel like he was so close to death.

The entire space was frozen and even vital energy was unable to flow.

This time…

It was different from the time with Chen Chen!

Because this time, An Lin's special effects didn't target Wang Xuanzhan alone. Rather, it targeted the entire world!

The Heaven and Earth collapsed, the Sun and Moon reversed their rotation. Within an atmosphere of primeval nature, only this finger reigned supreme!

Even though the students on White Jade Plaza were viewing this through a screen, they could still clearly feel the suffocating might. It sucked away their breath and instilled terror in their minds!

A large hole was suddenly torn into the barrier which was shrouding the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks. The power of the Paramount Dao surged through this gap, and it all converged upon that single finger.

Vice-principal Yu Hua stood rooted to the spot, dumbstruck, and his face was filled with a look of shock.

What more, Earth Immortal Cang Qing stood there like a statue and he was left absolutely speechless. He even felt an urge to kneel down.

Wang Xuanzhan had already been scared silly and saliva was drooling from the corner of his mouth. He was unable to move and could only stare dazedly at the finger.

How terrifying this finger was! Merely gathering power caused everything to lose its luster!

An Lin was extremely startled. After his splitting headache, he had already begun to understand the Finger of the Heavenly Dao.

However, didn't the system indicate that he didn't yet have the qualifications necessary to use this technique?!

He had thought that by indicating that he was 'unable to use this technique', it meant that he was only able to put on a pose like Chen Chen and give Wang Xuanzhan a small fright.

However, the situation right now… Power which could discolor heaven and earth was quickly gathering in his hands.

This power, which had An Lin himself terrified and trembling in fear, had already condensed into a physical form and was about to fully erupt!

An Lin roared in his mind, wishing to halt this attack.

He knew that if he released the power of this finger, even one hundred Wang Xuanzhan's wouldn't be able to block it!

However, he realized that apart from his own sentience, it was as if his body had already left his control. It was absolutely impossible to stop this move.

Sh*t… Wang Xuanzhan's finished…

Chapter 41: An Lin Exploded

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Countless golden rays dazzled brilliantly as they erupted from An Lin's fingertip.

This power, which he had lost all control of long ago, was about to surge from his finger!

An Lin's face contorted as he tried in desperation to stop himself.

At the same time, he roared in his mind.

Stop! Hurry up and stop! At least… don't strike Wang Xuanzhan!

Perhaps it was due to his strong desire, or perhaps it was due to him roaring in his mind. Regardless of which it was, the rays of light on his fingertip suddenly dimmed and started to quickly scatter.

An Lin was momentarily dazed. However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a remaining strand of golden light—which was like a strand of silk—streamed out from his finger…

It pierced through Wang Xuanzhan's head, yet it didn't do him any damage.

Immediately afterward, it came into contact with the ground behind Wang Xuanzhan.

Boom!

A vast amount of power erupted and the entire earth started to tremor!

The golden light was akin to a godly sword which shone brilliantly, and it tore through the earth, ripping out a fissure tens of thousands of feet in length.

The untainted power of the Great Dao obliterated everything in its path and the small mountains which lay on its path were all annihilated!

Before long, the power dissipated completely and tranquillity returned.

Staring at the endless 'rift valley' in front of him, An Lin was transfixed with amazement.

Wang Xuanzhan had a lifeless expression on his face. After sensing that the suffocating pressure around him had disappeared, his eyes rolled up into his head and he passed out completely…

…

After the radiance of the earth-shattering finger disappeared, the tens of thousands of students on White Jade Plaza felt as if a giant weight had been taken off their shoulders.

Right at this moment, someone started yelling as they stared intently at the screen.

"Quick, look over there! What's that?!"

Everyone looked towards the screen. After the dust settled, the scene which greeted them caused them to draw a sharp breath.

They were dumbstruck as they looked towards the scene which lay before their eyes. A gigantic chasm had appeared in the earth and it stretched tens of thousands of feet. It was pitch-black and abysmal, and even the sunlight was swallowed up, unable to illuminate the nethermost. It was like a scar on the earth, terrifying in its hideousness.

Even Earth Immortals of the Soul Formation Stage couldn't wield such devastating power, let alone cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

It was only after a long time that some students started to recover from their shock.

"This is the might of An Lin's move from just now?" they stammered.

Countless people raised their heads to gaze upon the figure who stood there, looking proud and majestic.

He had a look of nonchalance on his face and his white daoist robes fluttered about in the wind. He appeared obscure yet overwhelming.

Was it really him?

Regardless of whether it was the unconscious Wang Xuanzhan or the shocking chasm in the earth, all of these instilled a feeling of surrealism in the students.

Pan Buyu slapped himself viciously, yammering, "I'm definitely dreaming, I'm definitely dreaming…"

Soon after though, the students accepted this reality.

As the proverb says, seeing is believing.

Through the screen, tens of thousands of students clearly saw how An Lin had used that finger. This definitely couldn't be faked. Moreover, they had been able to experience the terrifying nature of that finger even through the screen. How could it be fake?

Thereupon, a fanatical glow appeared in the eyes of many students as they looked toward An Lin.

Furthermore, some female students even had a look of adoration in their eyes as they gazed at the figure on the screen.

"Ah! So, it turns out that it's actually he who is the most supremely talented amongst the new cohort of students!"

"B*llshit! He's already the most supremely talented individual of our entire university!"

"Even though Student An Lin possesses such remarkable abilities, he remained indifferent when he was labeled and spread as the most networked backdoor entrant. Such temperament is indeed worthy of respect and admiration!"

On the plaza, An Lin suddenly became a raging topic for discussion.

The students became more and more animated as they talked amongst one another and eventually, Student An Lin was enveloped in a shroud of divinity.

Even Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng, amongst others who were well acquainted with him, felt as if they had just met him for the first time.

Furthermore, Liu Dabao bragged towards those beside him, telling them of how he had fought on even terms with An Lin in the past.

…

Gradually, the topics of discussion started going awry.

"Kya! An Lin, I want to bear your children!"

"An Lin's mine! You go away!"

"Everyone has the right to chase after An Lin. We should compete fairly!"

"Okay, okay. I'm a student in An Lin's class. Those who want an intimate date with An Lin; males over to this side and females over to that side. I'll make a record and pass it along to him…"

An Lin's exceptional charm worked on both males and females, and everyone was especially enthusiastic.

Right at this moment, an anonymous person yelled loudly and everyone instantly became quiet.

"All of you, stop arguing! An Lin's already together with that white-furred dog. Have you guys forgotten about the Gallant Human and Dog Duo?!"

The moment this was said, everyone came to a realization.

"That's right! That white dog cooperates so well with An Lin when they're fighting. They fight together, they go through thick and thin together, they're bound so tightly with one another. Only the two of them can be a pair!"

Hearing this, Zhao Huaiyin—who was standing in the corner—wept in the toilet till he fainted.

However, there were still many fans who were unwilling to give up. They all looked toward the white dog on the screen coldly as plans formed in their minds…

…

Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, Da Bai suddenly felt a cold chill shoot through his body and he sneezed involuntarily.

What's with this sensation? Is there another enemy?!

Da Bai's expression changed and he glanced around. However, he couldn't find anything.

He looked toward An Lin and realized that he was still standing in the same spot gracefully. He couldn't help but yell, "Woof! Although you're very powerful, you've held this pose for a long time. Haven't you had enough of posing like this yet?"

Do you really think that I want to keep this posture?!

An Lin wanted to speak to Da Bai yet he was completely unable to open his mouth.

He had no feeling in, or control over, his body right now. This circumstance was exactly the same as that of when he used the Finger of the Heavenly Dao.

…

Up in the sky, Earth Immortal Cang Qing had absolutely no idea what expression he should wear when facing An Lin.

Was this person really the student that he was familiar with? He could probably kill him with a jab of his finger!

Earth Immortal Cang Qing turned his gaze toward Vice-principal Yu Hua. However, he discovered that Yu Hua's expression was not so different from his own.

Rather, Vice-principal Yu Hua appeared to be even more shocked than him and he still hadn't regained his senses.

Earth Immortal Cang Qing continued recording data.

Wang Xuanzhan—Combat Capability: 1200; Achievement Score: 8100; Note: Defeated by An Lin.

An Lin—Combat Capability: …

When he recorded up to An Lin's data, his finger trembled. He turned to Vice-principal Yu Hua for help. "Principal, may I please ask what I should write for An Lin's combat capability?" he asked quietly.

Vice-principal Yu Hua started to regain his senses after hearing Cang Qing speak and he looked at the teacher next to him. "Cang Qing, even at this moment you're still thinking of recording data. I'm very touched by your dedication to work…" he sighed.

"However, if Student An Lin released the full power of that finger just then, perhaps he could have split the entire floating continent into two. Even I don't know how to evaluate such combat capability!"

Hearing this, Cang Qing was once again dumbfounded.

What?! An Lin still hadn't used the full power of that move?!

The full power of that move can split this continent into two?!

"It can't be that An Lin is a True God in disguise and came to amuse himself at this school out of pure boredom, right?"

Cang Qing felt as if he had almost been frightened to the point of tears. Is this really a f*cking student? He's definitely not a student, right?!

At this moment, Vice-principal Yu Hua suddenly looked down toward An Lin uncertainly. "There seems to be something wrong with An Lin," he said.

…

"Ding Ling!" There was a chime in An Lin's mind and a notification appeared.

"Congratulations! You have successfully fulfilled the mission condition, 'be worshipped by ten thousand people'! Officially activating Divine Might!"

He was slightly stupefied. He had classified the condition necessary for mastering the 'Divine Might' ability as the most impossible to fulfill. How come it was suddenly fulfilled now? What on earth happened?

Then, before he could even wrap his mind around it, he felt his entire body start to swell.

"Ding Ling.

"Detected that the host is currently receiving backlash from the Heavenly Dao. Activating defensive mechanism…"

An Lin was startled. What backlash from the Heavenly Dao? Could it be the after-effect of the move from just then?

At this moment, a heart-wrenching pain washed over his body. This was a pain of indescribable intensity, and it was as if every cell in his body was being torn apart.

Right at this moment, he felt that his body was becoming more and more swollen, almost as if he was going to explode.

Bam!

An Lin exploded!

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of students and right before Vice-principal Yu Hua's eyes, his body exploded into a vast cloud of blood.

Like a large red flower in full bloom, the thick cloud of blood filled up the entire space…

Chapter 42: Final Battle

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before the cloud of blood had a chance to fully disperse, Vice-principal Yu Hua had already rushed beside An Lin.

He flicked the sleeve of his robe and the cloud of blood disappeared. Then, he saw the male—who looked like a bloody statue—standing there.

Holy f*ck! What's with these injuries?! He's not dead, right?!

Vice-principal Yu Hua was momentarily dazed. Then, he didn't hesitate for any longer before fishing out a spirit pill and tossing it into An Lin's mouth.

At the same time, he used an insanely powerful immortal healing spell to heal the wounds within An Lin's body.

Earth Immortal Cang Qing also rushed over. "Vice-principal, how is Student An Lin doing?" he asked anxiously.

An Lin's self-detonation had given him quite a large fright.

Now, looking at An Lin's blood-covered body, he became even more anxious.

"The blood essence in his body has totally melted away. His body was also going to disintegrate, however, a mysterious force helped keep his body intact.

"Even so, his condition right now is still very poor. I'm going to transfer him into the Soul Locking Ice Coffin!" Yu Hua said with a heavy expression.

Hearing this, Earth Immortal Cang Qing was especially startled. The Soul Locking Ice Coffin was an immortal tool used to prevent the soul from dissipating. This was already the last resort at the school's disposal when they needed to save a life. He didn't expect for An Lin to be so gravely wounded!

"Vice-principal, let me come with you." Cang Qing was extremely worried about An Lin, so he requested to go along with the Vice-principal.

"Mr. Vice-principal, I also want to go, woof!" Da Bai said to Celestial Immortal Yu Hua.

Da Bai also ran over and he anxiously looked toward the blood-covered An Lin.

"Alright then. It will also be easier for you two to care for An Lin if you follow me anyway," Yu Hua nodded.

Saying this, Vice-principal Yu Hua transformed into a streak of light as he dashed out of the spell formation with An Lin. Earth Immortal Cang Qing and Da Bai followed closely behind him.

…

Witnessing this sudden change of events, the students on White Jade Plaza instantly broke into a frenzy.

"Heavens! How come Student An Lin suddenly exploded?!"

"Could it be the after-effect of the move he used just now?"

"If that's really the case, then this move feels like it harms the user more than it does the enemy… Can he still survive after sustaining such injuries?"

"Even Vice-principal Yu Hua came. Student An Lin should be fine."

…

Just as the students were engaged in fervent discussion, a girl suddenly stood up and started running away from the plaza.

Her injuries weren't fully healed yet and now that she was running so vigorously, her wounds opened up again. Her daoist robes became stained red with blood.

Without any care for herself, this lithe and graceful figure dashed out of the healing formation spell and ran off into the distance.

"Xu Xiaolan, slow down! I'll go with you!" A shout suddenly sounded from behind her.

Xu Xiaolan raised her head and she saw Xuanyuan Cheng flying over on his sword.

"Don't you need to treat your wounds?" Xu Xiaolan asked.

"It's nothing. As class captain, I can't ignore it when something happens to the students in my class.

"Let's go, the medical facility is quite far from here. I'll fly you there on my sword."

Xuanyuan Cheng spoke with a warm smile on his face.

"Thanks, class captain." Xu Xiaolan was also very worried about An Lin. Thus, she nodded her head and accepted his offer without any hesitation.

Carrying both Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan, the sword once again dashed into the sky, becoming a streak of light as it flew towards the medical facility.

…

Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, the boundary had already shrunk to an area of just ten square miles.

The powerful cultivators of the Immortal Rankings Board had already begun their final battles. When individuals of the Dao Body Stage came across more powerful individuals of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, they would be defeated very quickly.

Students of the Dao Body Stage were eliminated one after another and eventually, this became a battleground for students of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

In these final battles, the most eye-catching individuals were Liu Qianhuan and Yang Chengwu.

Liu Qianhuan's vital energy was especially rich and abundant. She cast all types of weird and wonderful immortal spells and she defeated a few powerful individuals of the Spirit Nurturing Stage in succession.

Yang Chengwu's swordsmanship was without equal and no one would dare to face his blade. The more he battled, the more fearless he became, and his aura had already accumulated to a peak level.

Just as he thought that the final battle would be fought between him and Liu Qianhuan, an unexpected opponent appeared.

She was the new student who had maintained a low profile this entire time—Su Qianyun.

Yang Chengwu was stunned by her beauty. No wonder she's said to be the goddess of our university. She's almost as beautiful as Chang'e.

Perhaps ordinary cultivators would be distracted by Su Qianyun's beauty. However, Yang Chengwu would not.

He was loyal only to his sword. Apart from his sword, there weren't many things which interested him.

This was a battle between a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage and a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage. There was no doubt as to how this would end!

Yang Chengwu was brimming with confidence as he started fighting against Su Qianyun.

Then, one of his hands was lopped off…

"Ow!"

Yang Chengwu gripped his arm in pain. "What on earth is your weapon?!" he gasped in astonishment.

A blue, semi-transparent crescent was circling around Su Qianyun and it appeared extremely nimble.

"Immortal Weapon, Moonlight Disc," Su Qianyun answered softly.

Yang Chengwu's eyes bulged. Holy f*ck, Immortal Weapon?

In the Kingdom of the Nine States, immortal tools are the essential treasures of the finest sects. This girl actually owns one?!

It was under the attack of this Moonlight Disc that Yang Chengwu was injured, as he didn't expect for the Moonlight Disc to fly in such a peculiar manner. When it moved, it was as if it had teleported, appearing before him in an instant and slicing off his arm.

…

Su Qianyun knew that only Celestial Immortals could utilize the full power of Immortal Weapons.

In her hands, only a small portion of its power could be released. It could be said that this was an enormous waste of such a weapon.

However, she couldn't do anything about this. Sister Chang'e truly adored her and forcefully made her accept the Moonlight Disc!

If Yang Chengwu learned of how she obtained this weapon, would he become infuriated to the point of vomiting blood?

Due to his carelessness, Yang Chengwu found himself in an unfavorable situation. However, he calmed himself down quickly and once again launched an attack on Su Qianyun.

Although immortal tools were powerful, when faced with a great gap in cultivation base, there were still ways to deal with them.

After a period of intense battle, Yang Chengwu finally emerged victorious.

The 'genuine strength' cultivator finally beat the 'whale' cultivator!

Seeing the golden defensive barrier in front of him, tears brimmed in Yang Chengwu's eyes. He gripped his broken sword tightly and headed toward the final battleground.

Just like that, Liu Qianhuan was greeted by the sight of a heavily wounded Yang Chengwu.

Not only was his weapon broken, but one of his arms was also severed. There were numerous gashes on his body and his aura was extremely weak.

Liu Qianhuan gasped slightly. A look of surprise burst forth from her purple gem-like eyes, and this quickly changed into a look of delight.

"Oh! I love finishing off the critically injured!" Liu Qianhuan yelled childishly.

Immediately afterward, she cast her Final Spark!

Boom!

Her six-feathered staff spun in the air and a laser beam of light burst forth, penetrating through Yang Chengwu in an instant.

Yang Chengwu, deceased…

No, hang on. A golden defensive barrier had already appeared around his body and teleported him, along with his severed arm, out of the spell formation. Presumably, his arm could still be reattached.

Liu Qianhuan's expression didn't relax much after defeating Yang Chengwu.

This was because one person still hadn't appeared, that being the top-ranked individual of the Immortal Rankings Board—Wang Xuanzhan…

"Hmm, so annoying. I feel like I only have a twenty percent chance of winning even if I use my secret move."

There was a look of vexation on Liu Qianhuan's face. Thinking about how painful it would be when she was defeated, she felt even more bothered.

As she stood awaiting her opponent, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Congratulations, Student Liu Qianhuan! You're the last student remaining in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks (apart from Chen Chen). You'll receive a special reward from the university. Now, follow me out of this spell formation!" Sword Immortal Ling Xiao chuckled warmly.

"Hah? I'm the last one remaining? What about Wang Xuanzhan?" Liu Qianhuan asked in shock.

"M-hm… Wang Xuanzhan has already been defeated by An Lin. However, An Lin was also gravely injured and he's been teleported out too," Sword Immortal Ling Xiao explained patiently.

Liu Qianhuan became even more astonished, and her pretty purple eyes widened.

"What! Wang Xuanzhan was defeated by An Lin?

"Aiyah… If An Lin's become so strong, then how am I going to force him to play games with me in the future?!"

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao winced. Shouldn't she be complaining about why An Lin has become so strong? How come she's focused on the gaming side of things?

The rumors are indeed true. This web-addict thinks about things in a very peculiar manner…

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao came to a decision in his mind. He definitely needed to protect Student An Lin and prevent him from being negatively influenced by this web-addict!

Chapter 43: Call from the Soul

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He was surrounded by chaos and it was as if he were amidst infinite darkness.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

An Lin felt as if he heard a call from his soul and with great difficulty, he opened his eyes.

Then, he saw a jade-white body standing naked in front of him…

Rabbit!

This rabbit was half a person tall and it was currently kneeling on the floor.

Holding a jade pestle in its hand, the rabbit repeatedly smashed down toward a small pot which was radiating a golden glaze.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The whole room was suffused with the fragrant smell of medicine. Taking a breath, An Lin instantly felt at ease.

"Ah…" he involuntarily cried out aloud.

Hearing this, the rabbit turned its head around and blinked its round pink eyes as it looked toward An Lin.

"You're awake?" The rabbit's voice was crisp and pleasant.

"Uh-huh… Where is this?" An Lin nodded his head and asked.

His head was still throbbing. So, he raised his hands and lightly rubbed his temples.

The rabbit bounced before An Lin. "What's 9695 multiplied by 874?"

An Lin was baffled upon hearing this. "Uh, let me think…" he said dazedly.

After three seconds, an extremely disappointed voice sounded. "What even… Your brain still hasn't recovered even though you're awake. Let me fix it for you…"

An Lin raised his head, only to see a jade pestle smashing down toward him like a club.

Dong!

An Lin's eyes rolled into his head and he blacked out…

…

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

Within the darkness, An Lin felt as if he heard a call from his soul.

He opened his eyes with great difficulty and found that the rabbit was looking at him.

"What's 126876 divided by 13?" the rabbit asked.

An Lin's lips quivered and he was just about to ask for a pen and paper.

Two seconds later, the rabbit sighed softly. "Ah, he still hasn't recovered…"

A jade pestle cut through the air and struck An Lin's head.

Dong!

An Lin fell unconscious…

…

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

Within the darkness, An Lin felt as if he heard a call from his soul.

He opened his eyes with great difficulty and found that the rabbit was looking at him.

"Is this a nightmare?" An Lin asked with tears in his eyes.

The rabbit didn't reply, instead asking, "What's 896 cubed?"

An Lin was startled upon hearing this. "Wait!" he exclaimed loudly. "My brain's fine, I'm not stupid! It's just that I haven't learnt arithmetic!"

The rabbit blinked and its large ears drooped down. "Is that so? That's so troublesome. How should I determine if your brain is fine or not then?" the rabbit puzzled.

Upon hearing this, An Lin became teary-eyed again.

Say, is this rabbit's brain normal?

Seeing the rabbit raise the jade pestle once again, he finally realized that this rabbit was serious!

"How about this! I can recite poems. I'll recite poems to prove myself!" An Lin yelled.

In this time of great need, a brilliant idea flashed through An Lin's mind.

"Reciting poems… Not a bad idea. Begin!" The rabbit gazed at An Lin with its large pink eyes, and its face was full of anticipation.

"The moon shines on my bed brightly, so that I mistook it for frost on the ground. I gaze at the moonlight with head uplifted 1 …" An Lin recited loud and clearly.

Rabbit: "…"

"You're actually reciting a pre-schooler level poem? As expected, your brain still hasn't recovered!"

The rabbit raised the jade pestle once again.

Dong!

The jade pestle struck An Lin's head and he passed out once again.

An Lin felt grievously wronged. He had originally thought that the rabbit would be unfamiliar with the poem he recited. Who knew that the rabbit actually recognized it!

Amidst the darkness, an unknown amount of time passed.

…

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

An Lin once again heard a call from his soul.

This time, however, he chose to keep his eyes shut. He wouldn't open his eyes, no matter what happened.

You can keep striking, and I'll keep sleeping.

At this moment, a voice sounded in the room.

"Xiao Yue, what's Student An Lin's current condition?"

This was a female and her voice was soft and gentle. An Lin was extremely familiar with this voice!

Xiao Yue? This rabbit is the Jade Rabbit that Su Qianyun mentioned before?

"Uh… he woke up a few times but his brain was still a bit damaged. I plan on giving him some more medicine in order to help him recover," the rabbit replied.

Whose brain is damaged? Your f*cking brain is damaged!

An Lin howled in his heart. He knew that it was time to open his eyes.

"Student Su, I'm awake!"

He opened his eyes and sat up. Looking at the girl in front of him, he continued, "Also, I'm very well. Don't listen to that rabbit's nonsense!"

"Student An Lin, you're finally awake!"

Su Qianyun was very happy and she shuffled towards An Lin.

A pair of soft hands clasped over An Lin's wrists, feeling the condition within his body.

"Hmm… His meridian and energy essence are almost fully recovered. Sister Chang'e's Ultimate Creation Pill is indeed effective." Su Qianyun spoke softly and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? Sister Chang'e? Ultimate Creation Pill?" An Lin widened his eyes in disbelief.

Su Qianyun was just about to explain this to him, but the rabbit spoke first. "It was like this. In the free-for-all battle event, you suddenly exploded. Your blood essence all trickled away and your meridians were obliterated. If it wasn't for Celestial Immortal Yu Hua, who promptly stored your body in the Soul Locking Ice Coffin, perhaps you would already be dead.

"However, even Celestial Immortal Yu Hua could do nothing about your injuries. In other words, your body was completely crippled and only your conscience remained.

"In the end, it was Su Su who begged my master to save you. Only then did Master agree to refine an Ultimate Creation Pill to repair your meridians and rebirth your blood essence…"

Hearing the rabbit's explanation, An Lin looked gratefully toward Su Qianyun. "Thank you so much! I, An Lin, will definitely repay this favor many times over!"

A slight blush appeared on Su Qianyun's pretty face. Just as she was about to reply, the rabbit bounced in front of An Lin again and once again spoke before her. "There's no doubt that you need to repay the favor, it is a must!

"The pill that Master refined was a second rank immortal pill! Only a handful of people in the Kingdom of the Nine States know how to refine this pill. To refine this pill, countless treasures of extreme rarity were needed. It was also necessary to draw on the essence of the Dark Moon, accumulate the vitality of the Heaven and Earth, and channel the Supreme Godly Technique…"

The rabbit indulged in exaggeration and the more that An Lin heard, the more astonished he became.

"How about… How about this. Give me a price, Your Excellency…" Hearing the rabbit's remarks, An Lin became increasingly hesitant. Even if I sold myself ten-thousand times over, I wouldn't be able to repay this bloody debt!

"Ahem," the rabbit cleared its throat and rolled its eyes, saying slowly, "You can repay this gradually, there's no rush. The first thing you need to do is help me collect these treasures!"

"Uh-huh, I'm all ears!" An Lin said solemnly.

"Fifty kilograms of dried carrots, ten boxes of carrot flavored chips, one ton of freshly cut carrot flavored fries…" the rabbit continued.

An Lin's mouth was agape and he stood rooted to the spot, stupefied.

Where are the rare treasures you spoke of? Where are the exotic resources you spoke of?

Is it really okay for me to just buy a bunch of junk food as repayment!?

"It's fine, An Lin. Sister Chang'e is a very good person. She didn't demand that you have to do anything to repay her.

"These are all Xiao Yue's demands. She knows that you're going to the mortal world, so she wants you to help her buy some tasty treats!" Su Qianyun explained in a soft voice.

She smiled faintly upon seeing An Lin's expression, and two small dimples appeared on her face.

"Su Su! Why are you exposing this to an outsider? This is so embarrassing for me!" There was a hint of irritation in the rabbit's voice, and she glared at Su Qianyun.

Su Qianyun's face flushed red again after being scolded by the rabbit.

"Hang on, you said that I'm going to the mortal world!?" An Lin grabbed onto the key point from Su Qianyun's explanation.

"M-hm. In ten days time, you'll be amongst the first group of new students to descend into the mortal realm!" Su Qianyun nodded.

An Lin was startled upon hearing this. Descending into the mortal realm…

I can return to Earth!

Chapter 44: Congratulations, You've Won a Big Prize!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The news of An Lin's awakening swept throughout the entire school.

After the free-for-all battle event ended, he became the most famous individual of the university.

He was labeled as an extremely elegant individual who was unrivaled amongst his generation.

Students came one after another to give him their regards, and presents filled the entire storage room!

In all honesty, the term 'overwhelmed by unexpected flattery' was already insufficient when describing his current feelings.

What he felt now was this—'true-super-meteoric-overwhelming flattery'!

The Jade Rabbit had already returned to the Moon Palace after seeing that An Lin was fine and determining that his brain didn't appear to have major problems.

Xu Xiaolan's eyes became red when she saw that An Lin had awoken, and she handed him a golden-glazed sword.

This was a high-level magical tool and was the prize that An Lin had won in the free-for-all battle event.

Because An Lin was still unconscious during the awards ceremony, Xu Xiaolan had accepted the prize on behalf of An Lin.

In addition, An Lin also had the chance to temper his body in the Jade Pagoda because he had made it onto the Immortal Rankings Board. However, he was still unconscious when the Jade Pagoda was open, so he missed out on this opportunity…

Having performed exceptionally well in the free-for-all battle event, An Lin also had the opportunity to enter the Godly Tomb Mountain. He would be able to enter alongside the top ten most powerful individuals of the Immortal Rankings Board and undertake the observation and realization of Dao. However, he was still unconscious when the Godly Tomb Mountain was open, so he also missed out on this opportunity…

When An Lin was informed of this after waking, tears streamed down his face. This matter couldn't be described as simply letting slip a golden opportunity.

What more, he had been unconscious for two entire months!

Luckily, his self-detonation left no lingering after-effects.

Not only did he not feel weak after waking up, he felt full of vigor, as if he had an unlimited supply of energy. This was probably due to the effects of the Ultimate Creation Pill.

…

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan went to stroll through the school grounds.

He'd just recovered from such serious injuries, so it was extremely beneficial for him to go out and move about.

During this time, Xu Xiaolan also told him about the updated Immortal Rankings Board.

Although An Lin's Finger of the Heavenly Dao was earth-shattering, it was a suicidal technique.

Out of concerns regarding safety, the school didn't take that move into account when recording his Combat Capability.

As a result, An Lin was ranked twenty third. Not taking into account cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, he was ranked the highest.

This ranking did not change his exceptional standing at this school to the slightest degree.

The students still saw him as the true number one individual of this school.

Upon hearing this news, An Lin smiled wryly. The cost of his pretentiousness was far too high. He had almost died when he self-detonated and now, he also owed Chang'e an almost impossible-to-repay favor.

Toward such suicidal techniques… he would not use it for a second time regardless of what happened!

Although Wang Xuanzhan was scared unconscious by An Lin, his combat capability was still the highest in the whole school and he was still ranked first on the Immortal Rankings Board.

Liu Qianhuan was ranked second and as he forever was, Yang Chengwu was ranked third.

Relying on the edge that they had in their abilities, Xuanyuan Cheng and Su Qianyun ranked ninth and eighth respectively on the Immortal Rankings Board. This was big news and caused quite a stir in the school.

There was also another incident where Da Bai, An Lin's Summoned Beast, was not listed in the Immortal Rankings Board. This incident attracted much protest from the students.

However, the official explanation from the university was this:

"Da Bai is a Spirit Beast, not an Immortal! Even if we are to assess his merits, we would first need to create a Spirit Beast Rankings Board…"

To this, An Lin smiled unperturbed.

Da Bai had already vented his grievances to him when he visited yesterday. He had clearly worked hard, performed well, and achieved many great feats. Yet, he received nothing for his hard work.

In addition, he occasionally felt cold chills shoot up his spine as he walked through the school grounds. It was as if someone was watching him, planning to devour him.

An Lin believed that those people were either those who had been defeated by the Gallant Human and Dog Duo, or his maniacal fans.

That's right, An Lin had a large group of fans now!

He was a superstar now!

Even as he was walking along with Xu Xiaolan now, there were many students tailing behind him…

An Lin sighed softly. Is it a trend to worship superstars even in the cultivation world?

He had underestimated the impact that the Finger of the Heavenly Dao would have on other students!

As he recalled the Finger of the Heavenly Dao, he thought of Chen Chen.

It was because of Chen Chen that he was able to learn this devastating move. Chen Chen was definitely not simple.

"Oh, that's right. What's Chen Chen's rank on the Immortal Rankings Board?" An Lin asked.

"Chen Chen… who's that?" Xu Xiaolan knitted her brows and was a bit mystified as she spoke.

"Huh? He's the youth who made Wang Xuanzhan collapse to the ground in fright!" An Lin explained.

"Oh, him? I seem to have some vague recollections… I don't think that his name appears on the Immortal Rankings Board…" Xu Xiaolan said with an expression of realization.

You only have some vague recollections?

An Lin's heart would still stir up every time he thought back to those visually shocking images. She, on the other hand, had almost forgotten about Chen Chen?

The teachers definitely saw that scene too. There isn't any reason that he's not amongst the Immortal Rankings Board.

An Lin shook his head, not wanting to think about this matter anymore.

Maybe everyone's cooperating and keeping it lowkey. Either way, he had no control over this matter.

All in all, the free-for-all battle event had been a rewarding experience for An Lin.

Putting aside his suicidal technique, his cultivation base rose from the Seventh Stage Dao Body to Ninth Stage Dao Body. Moreover, he mastered stage one of the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill and also mastered the Divine Might Technique.

In addition, he also ate a second rank immortal pill, resulting in him being full of vigor. He also received heaps of presents from his fans and was rewarded with a high-level magic tool…

Indeed, this was a fruitful yield!

Oh, that's right. I made it onto the Immortal Rankings Board so there's also the system's reward lottery!

An Lin opened the system in his mind and entered the 'Special Missions' section.

"Congratulations host for completing the mission. You have won a raffle for the Magic Treasure Lottery. You have the chance to receive one of the following items:

"Magic Tool (one hundred available), Spirit Tool (fifty available), Immortal Tool (ten available), Unique Tool (two available)."

An Lin stared at the words and his eyes burned with excitement.

Not only could he win spirit tools in the system's lottery, but he could also win immortal tools!

Spirit tools were already considered the ultimate treasures of ordinary cultivation sects. As for immortal tools, these were the essential treasures of top-notch cultivation sects!

Although he didn't know what unique tools were, he was certain that they were supremely powerful artifacts!

An Lin gulped and started drawing the lottery in his mind.

Suddenly, the system started radiating brilliantly!

"Ding Ling!

"Congratulations, you've won a big prize!"

Hearing this, An Lin trembled in excitement; so much so that he almost fainted.

I've won a big prize!

Do you hear me? I've won a big prize!

Is it an Immortal Tool?!

An Lin looked toward the system, only to see it display:

"Congratulations on winning the Unique Tool: Chaotic Alloy Brick!

"This brick is extremely solid. It is the most solid brick in this world!

"This brick has meticulous workmanship with its clear edges and corners. It is the finest work in this world!

"This brick is extremely black. It is the blackest in this world!"

Whoosh!

An extremely black brick appeared in An Lin's hands.

Uh-huh… it feels extremely good in the hand, and it feels very metallic…

An Lin's entire body trembled and he felt like spewing blood.

This is a brick, right?

No matter how impressive you make it sound, it's still just a bloody brick!

Just like a pile of sh*t; even if it came from a fairy, it still doesn't change the fundamental fact that it's a pile of sh*t!

Don't tell me that the so-called big prize was just this brick?!

When others fought, they all wielded sabers and brandished swords. Was he going to charge in with a brick and go around whacking people on the back of their heads?

Black spots appeared in An Lin's vision. After just recovering from his injuries, the brick in his hands almost infuriated him to the point of blacking out again…

Chapter 45: Dear, Need Daigou?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Time flew by quickly and there were only three days left until the students descended into the mortal world for their mission.

It had already been confirmed which group of students was going to descend into the mortal world first. There were only three spots available and they were taken up by An Lin, Xuanyuan Cheng, and Xu Xiaolan.

Xuanyuan Cheng was the strongest amongst the new cohort of students, so he occupied the first spot.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that she hadn't mastered mortal languages yet, Su Qianyun was not selected.

Then, Student Xu Xiaolan, who was ranked twenty-fifth on the Immortal Rankings Board, replaced Student Su Qianyun's place.

And then there was Student An Lin, the native from the mortal world.

The teachers had high hopes for An Lin who was not only born and raised on Earth, but also had powerful capabilities. Thus, he was assigned team leader of this mission!

To this, An Lin felt extremely flattered. Even Big Brother Cheng became a member of his team. So much pressure!

On this day, an unexpected visitor arrived at his doorstep.

"Senior Liu, what brings you here!?"

Seeing that his visitor was the web-addict Liu Qianhuan, An Lin couldn't help but feel anxious.

When An Lin was recovering, Liu Qianhuan had already come to visit him once.

She definitely wasn't here because she missed him. She definitely had some ulterior motives!

"Hehe. An Lin, have you been thinking of me?" Liu Qianhuan said softly.

A smile blossomed on her face and her purple eyes were gleaming dreamily.

"Ahem… Senior Liu, if you have something to say, just say it." An Lin really couldn't stand Liu Qianhuan's manner of speech.

Liu Qianhuan sighed softly and a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes. "An Lin, can you act more adorable when you speak? If you're like this, you won't be able to find a dao partner…"

An Lin's chest tightened when he heard this. "With your infuriating manner of speech, would you be able to find a dao partner?!"

Liu Qianhuan's lips curled up in triumph. "I've already burnt hundreds of confession letters, what do you say?"

Hearing this, a knot formed in An Lin's chest. My mind hurts!

"I'm honored to be in your presence, Goddess Liu. So, what is it that brings you here?" An Lin felt defeated and there was a hint of exasperation in his voice.

"Alright, I came here because I have a small favor to ask of you." Seeing that An Lin was not going to bicker with her, a look of sincerity appeared on Liu Qianhuan's face.

"Go ahead, what's this favor you speak of?"

If it wasn't anything too difficult, An Lin would still be willing to help.

"You're heading to the mortal world, yeah? I want you to help me daigou!" There was an eager look on Liu Qianhuan's face.

"Daigou?" An Lin's eyes twitched. Why… Others all do overseas daigou. I, on the other hand, need to do extra-terrestrial daigou…

"What do you want to buy?" he asked cautiously.

"Hmm, there's not much. The newest laptop with League of Legends, Overwatch, Arena of Valor, Onmyoji and other popular games already installed… Also, I want the latest Edifier speakers, two iPhone 8s, one 65-inch Sony 4k ultra HD TV…"

Liu Qianhuan prattled on, and An Lin's face darkened.

This is not much? This is f*cking not much!?

Would they even fit in one room?!

"Say… I can't carry all that stuff by myself! Could it be that I have to tell them to ship it to The United University of Cultivation?" An Lin sneered. He tried his best to calm himself down.

What a joke. A small hill could be created with all of that stuff!

"I've already taken this into consideration!" Liu Qianhuan took out a ring and smiled, "The area in this storage ring is a hundred feet in radius. It's a high-grade storage ring and its market value is twenty-thousand spirit stones!

"Even elders of normal cultivation sects aren't willing to buy one. You can think of this storage ring as payment for helping me daigou!"

"This…" An Lin's eyes widened. He was very tempted by this storage ring!

"Say, can I swap it for another style?" he said with a bitter smile.

The storage ring in Liu Qianhuan's hand was… pink! There was even a flower engraved on it!

If An Lin wore this ring on his finger…

He would definitely be seen as a pervert!

"Why? This ring is quite pretty." Liu Qianhuan puzzled.

"Can't you think about it from my point of view…" An Lin was a bit speechless.

"Yeah, I did think about it from your point of view! If I were you, then I would really like it. The pink color is so pretty!" Liu Qianhuan tilted her head in confusion.

An Lin clutched at his heart and his lips quivered.

You call this thinking from my f*cking point of view?!

Is the mindset of this girl truly normal?

Fortunately, Liu Qianhuan had other spare storage rings. An Lin pleaded in every way he could and finally managed to change it to a silver storage ring. Although it wasn't the impressive looking bronze-style storage ring, it was still far better than the pink one!

After giving her shopping list to An Lin, Liu Qianhuan left.

An Lin elatedly put the storage ring on. This silver storage ring was also a high-grade storage ring. Such rings were worth twenty-thousand spirit stones…

In the cultivation world, a storage ring of such grade could be considered a treasure. He didn't expect to receive one merely for helping to daigou items from the mortal world. How could he not be happy?

An Lin impatiently refined the storage ring then tossed his black brick and sword into it.

He also picked out some elixirs, talismans and formation disks amongst other items, and tossed them into his storage ring. These items laying around in his room were all gifted to him by his adorable fans.

Just as he was fondling the ring in his hands happily, a thought crossed his mind, and it was as if he had opened a door to an entirely new world!

Passing through the space teleportation gate and descending into the mortal world was not a chance that every student got.

Students who loved goods of the mortal world would thus go to great lengths to obtain them.

So… could he start up a mortal world daigou business?

He could determine how many spirit stones to charge students according to the amount of space the goods took up in his storage ring, as well as the difficulty of obtaining such goods…

An Lin's eyes lit up and he acted without delay.

In no time, An Lin's advertisements were plastered all over the living quarters of The United University of Cultivation.

Dear, need daigou?

As long as you pay a certain amount of spirit stones, An Lin will help buy any mortal good you want. All customers will be treated fairly and quality is guaranteed.

This news swept through the school like a hurricane!

Who's An Lin?

He's the number one superstar of the school!

Moreover, he must be very familiar with the mortal world since he came from there…

He can definitely be trusted and you can be assured of the quality!

Just like that, countless students who loved the culture of the mortal world came one after another to place their orders with An Lin.

Some ordered various types of speakers and albums, others ordered various types of snacks. Some told him to download a few hundred interesting movies, whilst some others even told An Lin to get anything interesting that he came across…

In these three days, An Lin received a whopping thirty-thousand spirit stones in daigou fees!

Looking at the mountain of spirit stones and the pile of orders in his storage ring, he burst with joy!

[0] 'Daigou' refers to buying something on behalf of someone else, i.e. to act as a purchasing agent/overseas surrogate shopper. The term 'daigou' has become popular due to many Chinese customers buying products from overseas to send back to mainland China.

Chapter 46: Descending into the Mortal World!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Today was a very important day.

The first group of new students was about to descend into the mortal world!

An Lin, Xuanyuan Cheng, and Xu Xiaolan were led to the Heavenly Court's Southern Heavenly Gate by their homeroom teacher, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao.

The United University of Cultivation was built upon a floating continent and it was considered part of the Heavenly Court's territory. However, it was located on the outskirts of the Heavenly Court's territory.

The main territory of the Heavenly Court lay upon an even larger floating continent.

Comparing it to The United University of Cultivation would be like comparing a city to a village…

In order to reach the Southern Heavenly Gate—a place which had a space teleportation gate—An Lin and the others had to fly a full five-hundred miles.

The mission they had been assigned when descending into the mortal world was to strengthen the seal on a demonic pagoda which was located in the Kunlun Mountain Ranges. In addition to this, they were also tasked with exterminating a Demon King of the mortal world, whose doings had bobbed up in the news recently.

There were four types of monstrosities in the mortal world: Evil Spirits, Demons, Ghosts, and Monsters.

Evil Spirits and Demons were monsters who had a conscience, whereas Ghosts and Monsters were twisted and chaotic.

They were divided into four categories of strength: Pawns, Generals, Kings, and Emperors.

Monsters of the Pawn category had a strength equivalent to that of the Fifth Stage Dao Body.

Monsters of the General category had a strength equivalent to that of the Tenth Stage Dao Body.

Monsters of the King category had a strength equivalent to that of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage. When monsters reached this level, it was generally very difficult for cultivators of the mortal world to deal with them. At that time, the mortal departments concerned would report it to the Heavenly Court through a special channel of communication.

As for monsters of the Emperor category, their strength was at least equivalent to that of the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage 1 . Whenever they appeared, they would cause a massive commotion amongst the mortal world.

To An Lin's team, the mission that they were assigned this time wasn't so difficult.

After all, they had Xuanyuan Cheng's coattail to ride on. He was an individual who could beat even the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage cultivators of their school. In other words, perhaps even Spirit Nurturing Final Stage cultivators of the Kingdom of the Nine States would be unable to defeat him…

Of course, being the team leader, An Lin's duty was much greater than that of Xuanyuan Cheng and the others.

That's right, he still needed to daigou!

…

At the Southern Heavenly Gate, two jade pillars embellished with dragon patterns towered into the skies.

Between the two pillars, there was a multi-colored screen of light which rippled slightly.

Two Divine Generals stood with weapons in hand, manning the Southern Heavenly Gate.

An extremely vast and powerful aura emanated from their bodies. Seeing An Lin and his team arrive, the only response they gave was a slight nod.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao handed a document to one of the Divine Generals. On this document were the details regarding their mission, as well as the coordinates of the team's target location.

"You're all heading to the Kunlun Mountains, huh. The target location is Baiyun Temple of Rong City. No problems!" The Divine General nodded, then he used an immortal spell to form a holographic screen.

Wow! So fancy!

An Lin blinked excitedly as he watched on.

This must be a scene from a sci-fi movie, right? Immortal spells can be used for simulations?

"Enter this door first!" The Divine General waved his hand at An Lin and the others.

Hearing this, An Lin took charge and walked into the large door rippling with multi-colored light.

After crossing the screen of light, he found that his surroundings were grey and murky. There was no sense of direction, and even the ground had disappeared. It was as if he was amidst a vast expanse of chaos.

After the three of them all crossed the door, the Divine General started selecting the target location.

"Thank you for your help." Sword Immortal Ling Xiao cupped his hands and saluted slightly toward the two Divine Generals, expressing his gratitude.

"No worries, it's all part of our duty," the Divine General who was operating the hologram responded.

Immediately afterward, he felt a slight itch on his nose.

Then, he opened his mouth.

"Achoo!" The Divine General sneezed, and he accidentally pressed the 'teleport' button on the holographic screen…

"Ah… sh*t!" The Divine General looked apologetically at Sword Immortal Ling Xiao.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao: "…"

…

On a beautiful blue planet, there existed a lovely mountain full of spiritual energy.

On this lovely mountain, a small yet majestic flower bloomed.

I'm a flower spirit.

What I do every day is peacefully grow my roots, happily photosynthesize, and diligently cultivate.

When the sun shines brightly, I peacefully grow my roots, happily photosynthesize, and diligently cultivate.

When the rain pours endlessly, I peacefully grow my roots, try my best to photosynthesize, and diligently cultivate.

When the spring radiance is boundless, I peacefully grow my roots, joyfully photosynthesize, and diligently cultivate.

When the summer sun casts shadows, I peacefully grow my roots, cheerily photosynthesize, and diligently cultivate.

When the autumn wind dyes forests, I peacefully grow my roots, dejectedly photosynthesize, and diligently cultivate.

When the winter snow flutters about, I peacefully grow my roots, earnestly photosynthesize, and diligently cultivate.

…

Do you all feel very annoyed when you see this place?

That's the reason why I can cultivate myself to become an Immortal, while all of you are just mere mortals…

Day after day I photosynthesize, and year after year I diligently cultivate…

I also feel very bored. However, I've been able to persist this entire time!

Today is the day that I succeed, today is the last day before I attain Immortal Ascension!

I need to persist for one more day. As long as I can make it through today…

Today's wind is very noisy. However, there is a special kind of warmth amidst this noise.

I raise my proud head slightly. Up in the sky, there is the lovely blazing sun and a… big bum?

I have a bad feeling about this…

The large bum in the sky is getting closer and closer, and the path of its descent… leads to where I am!

It can't be… My luck can't be that lousy, right?!

I've painstakingly cultivated for tens of years. Yet, the day before I attain Immortal Ascension, I'm going to be flattened to death by a large bum?

"Save me! A flower is about to die!"

The flower spirit yelled loudly, and a sparkling dewdrop emerged on the red flower…

Bam!

The big bum smashed down, crushing the flower into the earth.

"Ow, ow, ow…" A handsome youth grimaced in pain as he rubbed his backside.

The youth who had descended from the skies was none other than the one in charge of the mortal mission, An Lin.

"Ahhhh!"

A supple body descended from the skies and plunged into An Lin's lap.

Bam!

Another plume of dust was kicked up. This time it was Xu Xiaolan who had descended.

Fortunately, An Lin was there to cushion her fall, so she didn't sustain many injuries.

Xu Xiaolan blushed slightly. She was flustered as she wriggled free from An Lin's lap and stood up.

"Thank you." Xu Xiaolan looked gratefully toward An Lin.

"You're welcome. To be honest, I didn't actually want to act as a cushion…" The feeling of embracing a girl really wasn't all that great. An Lin felt as if he had almost been crushed unconscious by Xu Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan: "…"

Whoosh!

A male cut through the air on his sword and there was an apologetic expression on his extremely handsome face.

"I'm so sorry Student Xu Xiaolan and Student An Lin.

"I was teleported here a little after you two. Otherwise, you two wouldn't be like this right now…"

The male was none other than Xuanyuan Cheng. He jumped off his flying sword and apologized humbly.

An Lin shook his head. "It's not your fault. If we want to blame something, then we should blame the bloody teleportation. It teleported us into such a high altitude. Do they really think that cultivators of the Dao Body Stage can fly?!"

He felt immense resentment toward the two guards at the Southern Heavenly Gate. If his cultivation base was a little lower and his bones were a little weaker, then he really would become the first student to die of teleportation when descending into the mortal world on a mission.

Right at this moment, a tender and soft voice sounded from under him.

"Ah! Move your bum away you big b*stard! You're crushing this flower!"

This sound gave An Lin a small fright. He hurriedly jumped up and looked toward the ground.

There, he could see a delicate and beautiful flower stuck firmly to the ground.

Its lush green stem had already been snapped and from it, a bright red liquid was flowing out…

Chapter 47: First Spirit Pet!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Holy f*ck! Were you the one who just spoke?" An Lin exclaimed in surprise.

An Lin looked toward the pitiful flower which had been crushed by him.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan also shuffled over and curiously sized up the little flower.

"Boo hoo… Of course it was me! Who did I offend to suffer such misfortune…"

Speaking in a tender voice, the little red flower poured out its woes.

The more An Lin looked, the more amazed he became. He squatted down and poked the little flower. "That's weird, didn't they say that spirits aren't allowed to form after the founding of the people's republic 1 ?"

"Ow! That hurts! Why are you so cruel? I feel like I'm about to die, yet you still torment me in such a way!" The little red flower wailed loudly at An Lin as it became teary with dewdrops.

At this moment, a grave look appeared Xuanyuan Cheng's face. "Student An Lin, this is a flower spirit which is almost about to form its spirit core. However, after being crushed by you just then, its stem snapped. I'm afraid that after its blood essence all drains out, it'll wither away and die!"

"Hah? What can we do?" An Lin was overtaken by guilt after hearing Xuanyuan Cheng's explanation.

This flower spirit could already speak in the human tongue. Presumably, it was a spirit which had received the blessing of the Heaven and Earth.

It wasn't easy for the flower spirit to cultivate to such a level. If it really was crushed to death by him, An Lin would feel fairly remorseful.

Hearing Xuanyuan Cheng's words, the little red flower knew that it was about to die. It started trembling slightly, and it almost cried itself unconscious.

"Hmm… there is indeed something we can do," Xuanyuan Cheng muttered softly.

"What thing? Hurry up and say it!" the flower spirit exclaimed anxiously. The flower spirit felt weak all over now, and perhaps it really was about to die.

"The stem of the flower spirit has snapped, and its energy essence is flowing away continuously.

"If the flower spirit can sign a master and servant contract with a cultivator now, and the cultivator provides energy to the flower spirit through the power of the contract, then the issue of the flower spirit's energy essence draining away will be resolved.

"If this is maintained until the flower spirit forms its spirit core, then we can break out of this dangerous situation once and for all!" Xuanyuan Cheng said solemnly.

This was a life and death situation for the flower spirit, so it didn't hesitate for a second before exclaiming, "I'm willing, I'm willing!"

Saying this, it looked pitifully toward the three people surrounding it.

The flower knew that all three of them were cultivators. If just one of them agreed to sign a contract with it, then it would be able to survive!

"Due to circumstances surrounding my bloodline, I can't sign such contracts carelessly." Xu Xiaolan was the first to speak.

"The cultivation method I practice is a bit unique, so I also can't sign such contracts carelessly." Xuanyuan Cheng also spoke with a serious expression on his face.

Thereupon, the two people and one spirit all turned their eyes toward An Lin.

An Lin: "…"

Being the main culprit who crushed the flower spirit to near death, it was only natural that he assumed this responsibility.

However, he wasn't a remiss person and he had to fully understand the situation first.

"Hmm… Say, can you fly?" An Lin said as he looked toward the flower spirit.

In reality, he wanted to raise an impressive Spirit Beast like Da Bai. He honestly had no interest in the flower spirit.

The flower spirit knew that its survival now depended solely on An Lin. Thus, hearing An Lin's question, it almost burst into tears. "Have you seen any flower which flies about in the sky…?"

An Lin sighed in disappointment and continued with his questioning. "Then, do you have any special abilities?"

"Special abilities?" The flower spirit pondered for a moment before saying happily, "I can grow roots! I can photosynthesize! I can even cultivate!"

An Lin: "…"

Xuanyuan Cheng: "…"

Xu Xiaolan: "…"

Seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, the flower spirit seemed to realize that its talents were not to their tastes. It trembled slightly and looked pitifully toward An Lin.

An Lin slapped his forehead and sighed. "So be it, it was my fault anyway. Let's sign the contract!"

Hearing this, drops of dew once again oozed out from the flower. "Ah! Thank you! Thank you! Big Brother An Lin is such a great person!" it sobbed.

"Don't casually hand me a 'nice guy card'!" An Lin glared at the flower spirit.

The flower spirit pulled back in fright, not knowing what it had done wrong.

An Lin had learned the immortal spell needed to sign the master and servant contract during his time at The United University of Cultivation. He never would have thought that he would need to use it so quickly.

He formed numerous hand seals and vital energy swarmed about. Immediately afterward, he cut his finger and a drop of blood containing a hint of gold appeared on his fingertip.

"Now, you must put down all resistance and accept my drop of blood," An Lin said to the flower spirit.

Saying this, he dripped the golden blood essence onto the petal of the flower spirit.

The blood essence slowly seeped into the flower spirit's body. The flower spirit moaned gently and started to tremble.

It wasn't long before An Lin felt that there was an indescribable connection between him and the flower spirit.

At this moment, his energy essence also started streaming through the air toward the flower spirit.

An Lin sighed. He plucked the flower spirit from the ground and placed it in his pocket.

Thereupon, from this day onwards, An Lin gained one more freeloading spirit pet…

"Ahhh… Master's pocket is so warm, I really like it!"

Feeling its life force slowly recovering, the flower spirit knew that it was time to flatter Master and make him feel happy. After all, it still had to rely on him to form its spirit core in the future!

An Lin humphed softly. "You can eat my energy essence every day, but you better pay me back in the future. One hundred spirit stones a day, no bargaining!"

"Oh, okay!" the flower spirit agreed readily.

Although it didn't know what spirit stones were, agreeing first and not angering Master would definitely not do her wrong.

Xu Xiaolan chuckled upon seeing this. She felt that the flower spirit really was pitiful having An Lin as its master.

"That's right, Master. I still don't have a name yet, why don't you give me a name." The flower spirit had initially planned on choosing a name for itself after its transformation. However, now that it had signed a contract with An Lin, it wouldn't be good to name itself without An Lin's permission.

"Hmm, this is indeed a problem…"

An Lin rubbed his chin. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Your entire body is bright red, so why don't we name you Xiao Hong 2 !"

Upon hearing this, both Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan swayed slightly and they almost erupted.

Within the pocket, the flower spirit which was in high spirits just a moment ago also sunk into silence…

After a long while, a voice sounded.

"Master, how about you choose another name…"

A drop of dew appeared on the flower spirit's petal, and it spoke in an upset voice.

To the flower spirit, being named Xiao Hong was not so different from humans being named things such as Li Goudan and Wang Ersha 3 …

There are hundreds of millions of flowers in this world, yet you use their color to name them… Isn't this quite insulting to flowers?!

"Nah!"

There was a look of firm resolution on An Lin's face. "I think that this name suits you quite well. Xiao Hong, you have to trust your master's tastes!"

"M-hm, Xiao Hong understands… The name Master came up with is the best!" The sweet voice of the flower spirit came from his pocket.

In reality, it felt really sad! However, it still had to maintain its smile.

Who told it to be dependent upon An Lin to survive?

Hearing the flower spirit's words, An Lin nodded in satisfaction.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan both glanced toward An Lin's pocket with a look of sympathy in their eyes. They wanted to speak yet stopped themselves.

An Lin didn't realize that the flower spirit had already cried a river in his pocket.

"Hmm? Why is my pocket wet? Xiao Hong, are you alright?" An Lin asked in concern.

As he was walking, An Lin realized that a small patch of his pocket had become wet.

"I-I'm alright. Xiao Hong is just a bit sad about leaving its birthplace," the flower spirit sobbed.

Of course, it wouldn't tell An Lin that it was crying because of the name he gave it…

Chapter 48: Cultivators Enter Town

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin and his team traversed the mountain on foot. The most pressing matter at this moment was to reach the location they had agreed to meet at.

In truth, the location they should have been teleported to was Baiyun Temple, which was located in the suburbs of Rong City.

However, even an idiot could tell that their landing location had deviated from the target. Casting their eyes into the distance, there was no temple in sight.

Mountains surrounded them, and apart from the looming forests, there was nothing else!

Right now, they had no idea where they were.

After trekking for around an hour, An Lin finally saw a road.

His eyes lit up in joy. If there was a road, then they could determine their location by simply asking some random driver who passed by.

Moreover, they wouldn't need to walk anymore and could take a car directly to Baiyun Temple.

"Hmm? A human has been trapped… It's a monster!"

Xuanyuan Cheng's expression became serious. His figure became a blur as he rushed forwards.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were also startled, and they had a bad premonition.

Boom!

A car which had been speeding down the road was ground to a halt by Xuanyuan Cheng's bare hands, and the entire bonnet was crushed by his hands!

Immediately afterward, the dreadful sound of metal ripping could be heard.

Rip!

With his bare hands, Xuanyuan Cheng tore the car into two. He then ripped out the 'tentacle' which was binding the human, grabbing him out and quickly dashing to the side!

Boom!

The car exploded…

…

Xuanyuan Cheng carried the male and a warm smile appeared on his face. "That was such a close call! Are you alright?"

The male's eyes bulged. His face was deathly pale and his lips quivered. "Ghost… Alien… Ahhh…!"

Xuanyuan Cheng sighed and shook his head softly. He could understand what the male was going through.

It was clear that this male had received quite a fright from the monster!

Watching this scene from the side of the road, both An Lin and Xu Xiaolan's mouths widened into an 'O' shape.

Xu Xiaolan had been very diligent when studying mortal studies, so she knew that the thing speeding down the road was not a monster but a car!

As for An Lin, he had never seen a monster being torn apart barehanded before…

Now, however, Big Brother Cheng had allowed him to witness a f*cking car being torn apart barehanded!

Holy f*ck! Tearing apart a car barehanded! How could he not be shocked?!

A short while later, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan finally came to their senses.

"Big Brother Cheng…" An Lin walked over and reminded earnestly, "The thing speeding down the road just then was a car, not a monster!"

Hearing An Lin's words, Xuanyuan Cheng fell into deep thought.

"Oh… I remember now. It's a type of man-made machine, huh. No wonder I couldn't feel any life force coming from it!"

Xuanyuan Cheng's eyes lit up as if he had recalled something.

Immediately afterward, he looked apologetically at the slightly plump male in his arms. "I'm so sorry, I acted too rashly and accidentally tore your car apart. I'll compensate you with a new one!" he promised.

The male was already ashen-faced with fright. Hearing Xuanyuan Cheng's words at this moment, he shook his head frantically. "N-no need to compensate me! I only ask for you to release me! My flesh is too greasy and it doesn't taste good… Every day I eat food injected with hormones while breathing in smog. My flesh is toxic!"

Xuanyuan Cheng: "…"

An Lin: "…"

Xu Xiaolan: "…"

So, it turns out that this man mistook them for flesh-eating monsters?

An Lin sighed. He walked before the male and cast a memory-erasing spell.

This was an immortal spell that every cultivator had to learn before descending into the mortal realm. The aim of such was to prevent situations like the one just now from happening…

After the male's memory was erased, he fell unconscious.

Xuanyuan Cheng laid him down on the floor and cooperatively cast a healing and awakening spell on him!

The male awoke gradually. Seeing the three strangers standing before him, his expression involuntarily changed. "Where is this… Why am I here?"

The male felt a bit dizzy.

He racked his brain yet could only remember up to when he was driving. How come he was suddenly laying on the floor?

At this moment, an attractive looking youth started speaking with a smile on his face. "Uncle, you were already laying here when we came. We passed through here by chance and were quite worried about seeing you laying by the side of the road. So, we stopped to look after you.

"Also, is that your car over there?"

Saying this, he pointed his finger toward the road.

The male looked toward the road and saw the smoking shell of a car as well as a scorched license plate. "Holy f*ck! My car exploded?!"

"Yeah, that's so weird! You don't seem to have any injuries either. What on earth happened?" An Lin looked at the male and wondered aloud curiously.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan also looked toward the male with an expression of curiosity. It was as if they had witnessed some unfathomable thing.

One had to admit, their acting skills were very good…

The male was baffled as he looked toward them and he found that they were all looking at him inquisitively.

Eventually, he pulled his phone out with trembling hands and took a picture of the car. Then, he called the police…

…

Thanks to the male, An Lin and the others were also able to hitch a free ride in the police car.

An Lin described him and his friends as warm-hearted youths who had got off a bus halfway through their trip in order to help the male.

Hearing this, the male was extremely moved.

Afterward, the two of them started conversing cheerfully.

Toward the male's gratitude, Xuanyuan Cheng—the car-tearing culprit—flushed red in embarrassment.

"An Lin, let's try to compensate this uncle in the future," Xuanyuan Cheng whispered in An Lin's ear.

"Don't worry, the state department concerned will help clean up our mess. We just need to find our contact and hand this matter over to them," An Lin chuckled.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of guilt in his mind subsided a little.

The male was called Zheng Hongbang and coincidentally, was a resident of Rong City.

The location of the incident wasn't far from Rong City and was just over fifty kilometers away.

An Lin was in no mood to go to the police station and record statements. So, once again, he cast a memory-erasing spell on all the people in the car.

After the people in the car all fell unconscious, he, along with Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan, all got off.

Rong City, or Chengdu, was the biggest city in the southwest and was hailed as the heavenly province.

An Lin's hometown was in Chongqing, which was not far from Chengdu.

When he was free, he would often come over to Chengdu. As a result, he was fairly familiar with this place. Thus, once he got out of the car, he started showing Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng around.

There was a forest of skyscrapers in Chengdu, and when they arrived at Chunxi Road, they found that it was even more lively and bustling.

There were all types of stores on this road and there were also countless mouth-watering delicacies. It was bustling with activity and appeared extremely prosperous.

This was the first time that Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng had descended into the mortal realm, thus, their eyes were wide with astonishment and curiosity as they looked around at the various strange and exotic goods.

Fortunately, they both came from famous sects and large clans, so even though they marveled at these new and interesting things, they didn't react in an exaggerated or ridiculous manner.

At least, situations like the one where Xuanyuan Cheng tore apart a car barehanded would not happen again…

"That's right, An Lin. Don't we need to go to Baiyun Temple to meet our contact first?"

After strolling around for a long time, Xu Xiaolan finally realized that they still hadn't gone to meet up with their contact yet…

Hearing her question, An Lin chuckled and shook his head. "Before coming here, our homeroom teacher already told us that Baiyun Temple is a very carefully hidden Daoist Temple. Ordinary people don't know of this Daoist Temple's existence. As our landing location was incorrect, we also don't know of the precise location of Baiyun Temple."

"That being the case, rather than having us go look for them, it would probably be better to have them come looking for us!" An Lin continued.

Xuanyuan Cheng nodded in agreement. "M-hm, this is indeed a good idea. We just need to create some supernatural phenomena. Presumably, some observation department will take notice of it and send people over to investigate. It's indeed an easy and effortless method."

"Exactly! Let's do that tonight. We'll continue enjoying ourselves during the day!" An Lin grinned.

Chapter 49: The Immortal Ambassadors Have Arrived!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xuanyuan Cheng spent a whole day enjoying themselves in the city.

Under the guidance of An Lin, they enjoyed themselves immensely and emptied all five wallets worth of money.

Huh? You want to ask where the wallets came from?

Once Xuanyuan Cheng released his divine sense, he could always find some ruffians who were looking to cause trouble.

Then, after carrying out justice, he would conveniently take some of their possessions. It was that simple!

The habit of pummelling monsters and stealing treasures had always been a tradition of the cultivation world.

After coming to the mortal world, it was needless to say that this great tradition also needed to be promoted. Don't you think so?

An Lin and the others bought some fashionable clothes then elatedly ate some hot pot. Afterward, they went for a stroll.

It wasn't until after 10 pm that they finally decided to create a bit of a stir.

Atop a skyscraper, three people stood facing the wind.

This area was very prosperous, and blinding neon lights flashed continuously. No one would take any notice of the three people standing above them.

"Come, please begin your performance!" An Lin looked toward Xu Xiaolan with a smile on his face.

Xu Xiaolan grinned and casually formed some hand seals.

Suddenly, the vital energy in the surroundings surged.

After a soft cry, it spread in all directions.

Immediately afterward, a fire phoenix ten feet in size charged toward the skies and exploded in the air.

Boom!

The explosion of flames was accompanied by a loud noise, and the sky within a radius of thirty feet was lit bright red.

On the ground, numerous people were attracted by the bright flames and loud noise. They lifted their heads and saw a shocking scene.

"Heavens, am I dreaming? Why is the sky on fire?!"

"It's not simply on fire. Just then, I also saw a fiery bird flying toward the skies. That was what caused this sight!

"Keep bullsh*tting. Do you think it's X-Man from the Marvels coming here to fight? What fire phoenix?!"

"But what's with the flames in the sky? That's so supernatural!"

Not many people saw the fire phoenix flying into the sky as it happened too quickly.

However, many people witnessed the flames spreading throughout the sky. Some people who reacted quickly even took out their phones and snapped some pictures which they then uploaded onto their newsfeed.

In no time, the news had reached everyone's newsfeed.

Although a lot of people believed that the pictures were photoshopped, this didn't stop the pictures from being frantically shared around. After all, these pictures were way too realistic!

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, Xuanyuan Cheng took out a spell formation which could cause the vital energy around them to fluctuate.

Any cultivator with a decent cultivation base would be able to follow the fluctuations of the vital energy and find them here.

Sure enough, after about half an hour, there was movement downstairs.

Around seven or eight people had come, and their average cultivation base was around the Fifth Stage Dao Body. On Earth, this strength could already be considered as quite good.

A slender girl with long hair and wearing black clothes stepped out from between them.

Her cultivation base was not bad and she had already reached the Seventh Stage Dao Body.

She appeared to be the leader of the group. Although she looked confused after seeing An Lin and the others, she remained very calm and composed. "I am Huang Shanshan, the leader of the second team at the National Special Operations Department. May I know why you are casting such large-scale immortal spells?"

"You're Huang Shanshan?" An Lin's contact for this mission was Huang Shanshan. When he heard this name, he immediately took a badge out from his storage ring. "We're ambassadors from the Heavenly Court."

Seeing the familiar badge, Huang Shanshan had no more doubts. "Oh, it's the immortal ambassadors. Forgive us for our poor welcome!" She saluted respectfully in apology.

After saying this, the people behind her also saluted, and their actions were very synchronized.

As to why An Lin and his team appeared here instead of Baiyun Temple, Huang Shanshan didn't look like she was going to ask them. Instead, she immediately organized their housing and other basic needs.

This made Xuanyuan Cheng and the others think more highly of her.

If the immortal ambassadors were willing to actively release immortal spells and have her locate them, it represented that they must have landed in the wrong location.

She was able to infer all of this in her mind.

What was impressive was the fact that she didn't reveal any desire of wanting to delve into the cause of this and was only doing her part to the best of her ability. Judging from this, this girl was very bright and capable.

Huang Shanshan handed each of them a bank card.

There was one billion yuan in each of the cards, and they could use the money however they pleased.

When they had no money left on the card, they could notify her and she would immediately help deposit more money.

The immortal ambassadors were here to help slay demons, thus, they would definitely not allow such little trifles to get in the way and restrict their activity.

Regarding these mortal things, Xuanyuan Cheng was indifferent as he put them into his storage ring.

Contrary to his reaction, Xu Xiaolan's eyes brightened. After enjoying herself for a full day, she had only spent a few thousand yuan. Thus, she knew that this one billion was a humongous amount!

To any girl, being able to buy as many things as they desired was a very delightful thing.

An Lin was also satisfied as he took the card.

He was definitely going to become the daigou king!

Huang Shanshan led An Lin and the others to Crowne Plaza Chengdu. This was a five-star hotel and was owned by the Zheng family, the largest clan in the southwest.

The head of the Zheng family, Zheng Hongyi, was already waiting for An Lin and the others at the entrance of the hotel.

Being the head of the largest clan in the Southwest, he had the right to know some secrets. It was also because of this that he was very respectful to An Lin and the others and didn't dare neglect them.

"Esteemed immortal ambassadors, in the presidential suite, I have prepared all the electronic equipment and daily necessities you may need for your activities in the mortal world. If there's anything else you need, just tell Little Zheng. Little Zheng will do his utter best to meet your demands!" Zheng Hongyi tucked in his large belly and bowed slightly, an obsequious smile on his face.

An Lin felt a bit uncomfortable with a forty-five-year-old man constantly referring to himself as Little Zheng.

However, after hearing the name Zheng Hongyi, another name suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Little Zheng, do you know someone called Zheng Hongbang?" An Lin saw that they looked quite similar, so he asked this question.

Zheng Hongyi became worked up when he heard this. "Yes, I know him. He's my cousin!"

An Lin's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Oh, so that's how it is. Today we accidentally tore your cousin's car apart. I have a debit card here. Why don't you transfer some money to him and help get your cousin a nice car?"

Even being the well-traveled and knowledgable person that he was, Zheng Hongyi was still startled by An Lin's words.

Holy sh*t! These immortal ambassadors can rip cars apart?!

Zheng Hongyi recovered quickly. "My cousin wanted to buy a new car ages ago and wanted to get rid of that car since quite a while back. I can't even thank you quickly enough for tearing it apart, how could I take your money?!"

Hearing this, An Lin knew that Zheng Hongyi didn't want to take the money. Thus, he could only take his card back in annoyance.

At this moment, Zheng Hongyi smiled obsequiously and said, "If the immortal ambassadors like to rip cars apart, then how about I organize one hundred cars for you guys to tear apart tomorrow?

"Don't worry! Whatever type of car you want to tear apart, I have it!" Zheng Hongyi patted his chest and promised.

"Pffft!" Xu Xiaolan laughed uncontrollably upon hearing this.

An Lin waved his hand awkwardly, gesturing that he didn't need to go to such trouble.

As for the main culprit, Xuanyuan Cheng, his handsome face blushed slightly, and he turned his head away in embarrassment…

Chapter 50: Encounter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After parting with the very enthusiastic Zheng Hongyi, An Lin and the others checked into the presidential suite.

The living room was stuffed full with all the latest electronic products.

An Lin glanced at these products and decided that the first thing he needed to do was teach Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan how to use a mobile phone.

In the mortal world, as long as you had a mobile phone, you would basically be able to solve any problems which arose. You could use the mobile phone to communicate, shop, and look up information.

They were both intelligent people and were able to pick up on it very quickly.

An Lin only needed to teach them for half an hour before they became familiar with the basic functions of the phone. They were even able to navigate some of the essential apps proficiently.

Afterward, An Lin left and allowed them to play around with the phones by themselves.

There were still ten days left until they had to travel to the Kunlun Mountains and strengthen the seal on the demonic pagoda.

They still had some free time to do whatever they wanted in the mortal world.

…

The next morning, An Lin chucked on some sportswear and walked down into the streets, starting his daigou career.

Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng also went off to do their own things.

The daigou task worth thirty thousand spirit stones was not an easy one. Amongst the items that he needed to get, there were some which were quite tricky to obtain. An Lin decided to start with the easier items.

He swaggered into an electronics store and bought a dozen air conditioners, over twenty extra-large flat-screen TVs, hundreds of high-end laptops, hundreds of high-end mobile phones and over two hundred single-lens reflex cameras…

His actions not only scared the sales girl but also the CEO of the electronics store, who thought someone had come to cause trouble.

…

However, in the end, An Lin left under the obsequious smile of the CEO.

He had already gotten someone to deliver his purchases to a specified place.

Finishing his electronics purchases, jewelry was next.

There were all sorts of demands regarding the purchase of jewelry.

Even An Lin was starting to get a headache while looking at the list of items.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant voice.

"An Lin?"

He was quite familiar with this voice and involuntarily raised his head to look.

Then, he saw a pretty girl with long hair staring at him with a startled expression on her face.

"Lin Wuhua!"

An Lin also couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw the pretty girl standing in front of him.

Lin Wuhua was An Lin's girlfriend when he was in university. However, they had only dated for a few days before the incident in An Lin's family.

After learning that he had amassed a debt of millions, Lin Wuhua left him.

Regarding this, An Lin didn't have many complaints.

They hadn't been together for long, and their feelings for each other were still fairly shallow. Who would want to spend the rest of their life with someone who had a debt of millions?

An Lin had already put the past behind him. "Hey, long time no see!" He smiled calmly at Lin Wuhua.

He took notice of the luxuriously dressed male standing next to Lin Wuhua.

That male must be Lin Wuhua's current boyfriend. His gaze toward me seems to be quite unfriendly?

"Uh-huh," Lin Wuhua answered softly. She looked at An Lin and sensed that his temperament appeared to be a little different.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Actually, I was quite worried about you when you suddenly disappeared from school. Have you been well?"

Hearing her greeting, An Lin smiled. Just as he was about to answer, the male standing next to her spoke impatiently. "Wuhua, why bother chatting with someone who owes millions. His entire life is just going to be so-so."

The male noticed Lin Wuhua's expression as she looked toward An Lin, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He knew that An Lin was Lin Wuhua's ex-boyfriend. Due to this level of relation, some other ideas surfaced in his mind.

"I seriously don't understand how someone like you can still stand there so brazenly," the male chuckled in contempt. "Do you really think you're top-sh*t just because Wuhua is being polite to you?"

An Lin became dazed upon hearing this. Is this guy retarded?

He's shooting off his mouth even though this is the first time we've met. What on earth is going on in his brain?

He looked at Lin Wuhua sympathetically. "At any rate, you're a student of Hua Qing University. Even if you really are lacking a boyfriend, you still don't need to go as far as finding someone like him…"

Hearing this, Lin Wuhua's face flushed bright red. It was hard to tell if she felt ashamed or angry.

"What did you say!?" Hearing An Lin's comment, the male immediately burst out in anger.

"Do you know who I am? I'm already the executive of a company which has assets of over tens of millions!

"Do you have any right to be talking about me when you can't even change your own fate?"

The male yelled loudly, and he glowered at An Lin.

An Lin remained silent. His gaze toward Lin Wuhua became even more sympathetic.

"That's enough, Gao Peng!" Lin Wuhua was a bit angry and she shouted at him to stop.

It was as if Gao Peng had swallowed explosives today. He kept targeting An Lin and this put her in an embarrassing position.

However, Lin Wuhua's shout had no effect. Gao Peng didn't have any intention of stopping and it appeared as if he especially enjoyed targeting An Lin.

He was just about to burst out again. However, at this moment, the sound of a car screeching to a halt sounded near An Lin.

A red Ferrari sports car stopped right beside him.

Under the sunlight, a thin halo covered the car, and it was alike a burning flame.

The make of this Ferrari was especially flashy, and it instantly attracted the attention of numerous passers-by.

Immediately afterward, the door opened and a girl wearing a white t-shirt and denim shorts stepped out.

The girl's well-proportioned legs were exposed, and they were particularly impressive.

Complementing this lithe and graceful figure was a captivating and flawless face.

Her beauty encompassed youth and energy and at the same time, appeared noble and other-worldly. As soon as she appeared, she drew the attention of all the passers-by, even stealing the limelight of the Ferrari.

The girl smiled and walked up to An Lin. "Hey, An Lin, I found you!" she said softly.

This girl who arrived unexpectedly was none other than Xu Xiaolan!

Lin Wuhua was astonished upon seeing this. She was perplexed about how An Lin had managed to become acquainted with a girl like her.

She turned toward Gao Peng and found that he was staring dazedly at the girl.

Seeing how impotent he was, Lin Wuhua couldn't help but feel gloomy.

Xu Xiaolan looked toward the two people standing in front of An Lin. "Are these two your friends?" she asked curiously.

An Lin smiled indifferently. "This is Lin Wuhua, my ex-girlfriend. The one next to her is her current boyfriend, Executive Gao!" An Lin introduced.

"Huh?!" Xu Xiaolan was startled upon hearing this.

However, she recovered quickly and looked toward the top of An Lin's head. There, she could make out a faint green light 1 .

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, she smiled sweetly and linked her hands through An Lin's elbow.

Afterward, she sized up Lin Wuhua with a look of interest. "Big Brother An, I can't help but say… were you blind before? How could you be attracted to a commonplace woman like her?" she said with a smile.

"W-What did you say!?" This was the first time that Lin Wuhua had been called a commonplace woman. She was immediately filled with anger and looked at Xu Xiaolan indignantly.

Lin Wuhua was actually quite a beauty. However, compared to the dazzling Xu Xiaolan, she was quite lacking. Comparing the two, the difference was like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

Thus, even though she was angry, she wasn't able to come up with any retort.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Hello, I'm Gao Peng. Dare I ask for your name?" Gao Peng chuckled after recovering from his initial state of marvel. He extended his right hand, seemingly wanting to become acquainted.

Lin Wuhua almost fainted in anger . Didn't you see your girlfriend getting bullied by her just then?! What do you think you're doing right now?!

Xu Xiaolan was slightly taken aback. Then, her expression became even more splendid. She ignored Gao Peng's outstretched hand and mused, "Haha, Big Brother An, I can't believe your ex-girlfriend is even blinder than you!"

Lin Wuhua's body swayed and she almost collapsed from anger.

This was a really massive blow!

Gao Peng also came to his senses at this moment, and with a livid expression, he retracted his hand.

"Big Brother An, are you going to play house with these two? Don't forget the proper business!" Xu Xiaolan spoke sweetly as she continued holding An Lin's arm shyly.

Many passers-by saw this, and they looked at An Lin with envy and jealousy.

Hearing this, An Lin shook his head in exasperation. "Let's go. I was just passing by coincidentally. Who knew that a clown would suddenly jump out and start performing…"

When Lin Wuhua heard this, her face flushed red. Gao Peng was also shaking in fury. However, he couldn't find anything to retort An Lin with.

Just the Ferrari Enzo that the girl was driving was worth thirty million. With this money, she could purchase his company three times over!

An Lin appeared to be her boyfriend. In what way did he look like someone who owed millions?

It was quite obvious how laughable his actions just then were.

Thinking back to An Lin's look of indifference before, An Lin really did treat him as a clown this entire time…

All Gao Peng wanted to do now was find a hole to crawl into. So f*cking embarrassing!

Just like that, under the attention of many passers-by, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan got into the Ferrari. Under the blazing sun, the car was like a ball of flames as it zoomed off into the distance…

Chapter 51: God of Automobiles, Xu Xiaolan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the red Ferrari, Xu Xiaolan drove with her petite lips tightly pursed and an expression of indifference on her face.

However, her body was trembling slightly, as if she was suppressing the urge to laugh.

An expression of resignation appeared on An Lin's face. "Laugh if you want to, why suppress it?"

"Puahaha…"

Xu Xiaolan burst into laughter with no regard for An Lin's feelings. "You just gave me permission to laugh, so don't get mad now… hahaha…"

An Lin winced slightly. "Is it really that funny?"

Xu Xiaolan extended her slim hand, which she held beside An Lin's mouth, feigning a microphone. "I'd like to interview Mr. Cuckold An. How did you feel at that time?"

"Hey hey, that's going too far… What's this about Mr. Cuckold An?"

An Lin glared at Xu Xiaolan. "Lin Wuhua and I were only in a relationship for a few days. We broke up a long time ago due to my several millions worth of debt. Cuckold? There was no such thing!"

"What? She was only your girlfriend for a few days?

"What kind of girlfriend is that? If I were you, I'd be embarrassed to introduce her as an ex-girlfriend."

Xu Xiaolan said whilst shaking her head.

A blush crept onto An Lin's face. "I've even held her hand," he retorted, "how does that not count?"

"You and I have also held hands, so does that mean you can announce to everyone that I'm your partner now?" Xu Xiaolan sniggered.

Upon hearing this, An Lin fell silent and was at a loss for words.

"I suppose that means you won't really care about what happened just then…"

"Geez, and I even worked so hard to protect your dignity." Xu Xiaolan sighed in disappointment.

Gratitude welled up in An Lin's heart upon hearing Xu Xiaolan's remark. "Regardless, I really must thank you," he said gratefully.

Xu Xiaolan laughed but did not give a reply.

An Lin's attention began to drift as he gradually calmed down and he suddenly discovered something quite disturbing.

"Xiaolan… when did you learn to drive!?"

An Lin stared with wide eyes at Xu Xiaolan with an expression of shock on his face.

Xu Xiaolan smiled lightly. "Just then."

Just then?

An Lin gulped as he observed Xu Xiaolan's expert driving skills, his mind flying into an involuntary daze.

Was she trying to rectify the stereotype against female drivers…

Such frightening talent… could she be the reincarnation of the God of Automobiles?

"Then what about this car?" An Lin asked whilst pointing at the Ferrari.

"Oh, I wanted to learn how to drive so I asked Zheng Hongyi for a car, and he gave me this one.

"The exterior of this car is pretty stylish, much better than the other cars on the road. I have to admit, Zheng Hongyi has good taste!" said Xu Xiaolan in a rare instance of praise.

An Lin fell silent, this was hardly a matter of taste!

How could a car worth just over a mere hundred thousand be comparable to a sports car worth several tens of millions?

Having said that though, Zheng Hongyi sure was generous!

To allow someone like Xu Xiaolan, who had never touched a car in her life, to drive a limited edition sports car like this one. An Lin could only look on in admiration!

"Where do you want to go next? I'll drive you there!" Xu Xiaolan asked.

"Uh… let's go to the international shopping center next. I still have to buy several hundred sets of clothes and jewelry." An Lin replied.

Xu Xiaolan turned her gaze upon An Lin in surprise. "Huh? You're not trying to open a clothing and jewelry store, are you?"

An Lin smiled, then told Xu Xiaolan about his agreement to help his upperclassmen do some shopping on their behalf.

A smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan's face as she nodded in approval at An Lin's explanation. "Who would've thought that you've got a mind for business."

"Of course!" An Lin replied with a hint of pride, "Do you need spirit stones? I've got thirty thousand and don't really have any use for them, so how about I give them to you?"

An Lin had received a lot of help from Xu Xiaolan but never really had a chance to repay her.

He wanted to use this opportunity now to express his gratitude properly.

"Spirit stones?" Xu Xiaolan shrugged, "I'm not really lacking in those, on top of that, you accumulated those spirit stones through a lot of hard work, I can't just take them from you."

An Lin was somewhat despondent upon hearing her response but continued to persist. "Then, is there something that you really want?"

"Something that I really want…" Xu Xiaolan considered to herself whilst pinching her chin, an expression of deep thought on her face.

An Lin sat in silence, eagerly awaiting Xu Xiaolan's reply.

Unfortunately, she remained in deep thought for fifteen minutes but was still unable to think of anything…

Just as An Lin was becoming despondent again, a delicate voice resounded within the car.

"Master, master, Xiao Hong knows what Big Sister Lanlan wants!"

A bright red head poked out of An Lin's pocket.

As Xiao Hong had been nourished by An Lin's energy essence and escaped the restrictions of being rooted to the ground, it had begun some sort of transformation, thereby giving it a certain degree of mobility.

"Oh? What is it?", An Lin asked with a glint in his eyes.

At this time, Xu Xiaolan's gaze also fell upon Xiao Hong, as she too was a little curious what Xiao Hong's answer could be.

Xiao Hong's head wobbled from side to side. "A girl is like a beautiful flower, gifting flowers to a girl is very romantic and will evoke a sense of joy from the bottom of their heart."

An Lin's eyelid twitched slightly. "So what you're saying is…"

Xiao Hong suddenly became very animated. "Master, how about you gift me to Big Sister Lanlan! As long as it's for you, I am willing to sell my body with no regrets!"

An Lin's face twitched violently as he processed Xiao Hong's proposal whilst Xu Xiaolan burst into a fit of laughter.

An Lin pinched Xiao Hong's head angrily. "Setting aside your terrible proposal, is it really such a grievance for you to stay by my side?"

"Owowow!", Xiao Hong exclaimed in pain before hurriedly apologizing, "That's not the case! Xiao Hong doesn't want to leave master either, Xiao Hong is only trying to help share master's burden, owowow… "

An Lin harrumphed coldly and stuffed Xiao Hong into his pocket, as he didn't want to waste his words with this annoying spirit.

Xu Xiaolan laughed quietly whilst covering her mouth. A short while later, she turned to An Lin and announced, "We're here!"

An eye-catching Ferrari parked into the parking lot beside the international shopping center, attracting the attention of countless bystanders.

Immediately afterward, the sight of a handsome man and beautiful woman exiting the car had everyone's jaws dropping to the ground.

The two of them each held a big rucksack as they made their way hurriedly into the shopping center…

Their first stop was the jewelry shop!

The shop attendants in the jewelry shop all became petrified in fear at the sight of the two of them storming into the store with rucksacks.

But you can't blame them, if you were running a jewelry shop and discovered two people storming in aggressively with rucksacks in their hands, what would you immediately think of?

You'd think it was a robbery, of course!

Their fears were only exacerbated when the man leading the way pointed a finger at the jewelry in the cabinets before exclaiming loudly, "All of this stuff… take it out for me."

Just this one sentence immediately had a few of the female shop attendants trembling in fear, while some of them had even moved their hands to hover over the alarm activation button.

However, at this moment, the man suddenly plucked out a credit card and threw it on the counter. "Why are you all just standing around? Hurry up and bring out the jewelry! I'm a very busy man!"

Upon this sudden turn of events, one of the female shop attendants immediately moved her hand away from the alarm, before asking hesitantly, "Sir… are you planning to pay by card?"

"No shit! What would I do instead? Commit daylight robbery?" The man rolled his eyes at her.

The shop attendant's heart thumped heavily as relief sunk in. "We genuinely thought you were planning to commit daylight robbery, sir!"

Upon hearing his words, all the shop attendants breathed a sigh of relief as their emotions began to settle.

"Then what are you planning to do with the rucksack, sir?" another shop attendant asked curiously.

"I plan to fill the rucksack of course." the man replied as if it was no big deal.

"F-fill them?" Everyone gaped in awe at the man holding the rucksack.

Have you ever seen anyone buy jewelry with rucksacks?

This was jewelry, not rice!

All the shop attendants had just calmed down, but now their hearts began to tighten again.

As expected, we should still call the police!

"Oh wait no, not to fill this rucksack." the man suddenly corrected himself.

Relief set in again amongst the shop attendants upon hearing this remark.

So he was joking all along?

"Because there's another rucksack… I might fill both of them!"

The man pointed to the woman behind him.

Everyone directed their attention to the woman behind the man, only to find that she was also carrying a rucksack with a dainty smile on her face, looking like she was itching for some action…

All the shop attendants: "…"

And thus, the shop attendants of the jewelry store were fooled around by An Lin and Xu Xiaolan for the nth time

Chapter 52: A Day In the Life of A Tycoon

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"These pearl necklaces, yes, the whole row, help me package them all up!

"Bring out all the diamond necklaces in this cabinet too!

"I'll take a hundred silver bracelets! Yes, in that exact model!

"What? You don't have that many? But this is such a big jewelry store, isn't this what you guys do for a living?

"Hey, Xiaolan, that jade Buddha is also on the list, throw it in the rucksack…"

All the shop attendants burst into a frenzy of action, each of them continuously retrieving items of jewelry from the cabinets.

They discovered for the first time that selling jewelry could be so straightforward, as there was no need at all to merchandise and promote products to customers. They only needed to continuously retrieve jewelry from the cabinets. This feeling could only be described as… extremely satisfying!

If it wasn't for the man who had placed the bank card with a balance of one billion on the counter, they'd honestly believe they were assisting criminals in committing a robbery!

The beautiful female manager of the jewelry store stuck to An Lin like glue, carrying his rucksack in his stead with a seductive smile plastered across her face.

As she considered the exaggerated performance and profit figures this sale would generate, her smile became even more glamorous. She forced the opening of the rucksack as wide as possible, hoping to cram in as much jewelry as possible, this feeling was… so satisfying!

An Lin was also taking this rare opportunity to experience what it was like to be a rich tycoon, throwing piece after piece of valuable jewelry into the rucksack as if they were mere cabbage, this feeling was… so satisfying!

By this time, masses of awestruck bystanders had already surrounded the store.

They looked on at the astonishing scenes taking place in the jewelry store, all of them a little dazed with shock.

If it wasn't for the satisfied smiles present on the faces of the manager and all the shop attendants, they'd all think the jewelry shop was being robbed!

"It's the same act of buying jewelry, but why is the disparity between person to person so severe?"

"So this is what it looks like when rich people shop, my eyes have been opened!"

"I've seen a lot of rich people, but I've never seen a rich person that buys jewelry so frantically!"

"To be so liberal with money, could he be that young master Wang Cong?"

"Impossible, the guy at the front is clearly much more handsome than young master Wang!"

"Oh my God, I'm so tempted to run in and ask that handsome tycoon if he's looking for a mistress."

"Stop dreaming, can you not see that beautiful jewelry store manager? She's following the man wherever he goes… she's clearly already staked her claim on the role of mistress."

…

In very little time, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had almost robbed the whole jewelry store of everything…

Oh, wait no, they've 'shopped' the whole jewelry store of everything!

Then, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan made their way out from the store, where a standing ovation from the store attendants and awestruck bystanders was awaiting, before placing the rucksacks filled with jewelry into the car.

En route to the car, the whole scene was abuzz, as if some celebrity had made an appearance at the shopping center.

After getting back to the car, An Lin began to store all the jewelry into a storage ring.

The cultivators of the Kingdom of the Nine States actually did not really place much value on the jewelry of the mortal world. It was only out of curiosity that they've delegated An Lin with the task of shopping in their stead.

The jewelry was considered to be a native product of the mortal world as they were produced in the mortal world and were crafted by techniques unique to the mortal world. They were essentially pretty souvenirs, fun to play around with when bored, but rarely will they be held in an important regard.

And it was due to this reason that their standards for purchasing jewelry were generally quite low, with no demands for style and quality.

Take diamond necklaces as an example, their only request was that there were diamonds on the necklaces, irrespective of the style or even how many carats the diamonds were. Hence, it was a simple task for An Lin.

However, the subsequent clothes-shopping was going to be more difficult.

Clothing in the mortal world was quite trendy and fashionable, much to the delight of some cultivators.

Some cultivators would make an effort to wear clothes from the mortal world when they go out.

Although the list for the clothing to be purchased wasn't very extensive, the requirements were all quite high.

Brand, type, measurements, style… all these factors had to be considered…

An Lin massaged his brow as he stared at the list in his hand, feeling a little distressed.

To shop in someone's stead was not easy.

However, he had already accepted the spirit stones, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

…

Thus, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan made a frenzied return to the international shopping center.

This time, the difficulty in buying clothes increased drastically.

There were two reasons for this. Firstly, the task itself was already difficult. The second reason was due to the existence of Xu Xiaolan.

She was also interested in the clothing of the mortal world and wanted to buy a few sets for herself to take back to the cultivating realm.

An Lin had initially thought that Xu Xiaolan would only need a few minutes to pick out clothes for herself.

However, he soon realized he had severely underestimated Xu Xiaolan's propensity for shopping…

…

"An Lin, do you think I look good in this dress?"

"You look gorgeous, let's get this one!"

"There's no hurry, let's look at some other clothes first."

…

"An Lin, what do you think about this t-shirt?"

"Wow! So youthful and energetic, absolutely stunning, let's hurry and get this!"

"Hmm, but I feel like the color tone is a bit too dull. Let's keep looking…"

…

"An Lin, look, quickly, what about this floral top?"

"Uh-huh, it suits you very well, you look like a floral fairy in it. This one is certainly not to be missed!"

"Really!? But I feel like the floral print is a bit too convoluted, so let's look at some other styles."

…

"An Lin, look here…"

"Yes, that one's fabulous…"

"An Lin, look over there!"

"Uh…"

"An Lin, this one on me…"

"Uh…"

…

"An Lin, this one's not bad, maybe we should get this one?

"Uh…"

…

"!!!"

A ploy suddenly took shape in An Lin's head and his eyes began to glow.

"This one's great! Buy buy buy! Let's buy this one!"

Before Xu Xiaolan had a chance to formulate an objection, An Lin stood upright, grabbed the clothes and ran straight to the counter to pay!

The shop attendant couldn't help but turn to Xu Xiaolan with a look of envy at the sight of An Lin sprinting away to pay. "You have such a good boyfriend, I've never seen a man take so much initiative in clothes-shopping!"

An expression of pride appeared on Xu Xiaolan porcelain-like face. "We've only bought one item of clothing, but my plan is to buy five items of clothing. He's got a long way to go yet!"

An Lin was just returning from the payment counter, looking very pleased with himself when Xu Xiaolan's remark reached his ears. Upon hearing her words, his legs immediately gave out under him, leaving him kneeling on the shop floor!

…

As dusk settled over the skyline, their shopping journey finally came to a conclusion.

His clothes-shopping plan had only reached twenty percent completion. His original intention was to complete fifty percent, but there was a mishap. As for what that mishap was… well, you know.

Xu Xiaolan bought five items of clothing as well as a luxurious evening dress.

That night, Huang Shanshan had organized a ball, inviting the top politicians and merchants of the southwest region.

The purpose of the ball was actually just to let these people meet An Lin and the others.

That way it would be more convenient if something were to happen in the future as they would all do their best to cooperate with An Lin and the others in completing their mission.

For this ball, An Lin had also bought himself a tuxedo.

Although this was his first time in a tuxedo, An Lin's great figure, coupled with his handsome face and the refreshing disposition unique to cultivators still gave him a dapper and suave look at a glance.

As for Xu Xiaolan, needless to say, even if you were to put her in some coarse garments, it would still detract nothing from her stunning beauty.

Therefore, for her, the issue of 'whether clothing suits her' was a completely non-existent one!

The Ferrari containing An Lin and Xu Xiaolan sped toward the White Jade Palace as night fell.

The White Jade Palace was a private club, whose main structure was a white palace, hence the name.

And the ball organized for An Lin and the others was being held at the very same White Jade Palace.

Chapter 53: A Slap to the Face

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Night fell, bringing with it a myriad of shining stars.

A multitude of different models of luxury cars parked outside a scenic manor.

In the center of the manor surrounded by lush hills and flowing creeks, sat a palace constructed of white bricks. The interior of the palace was brightly lit and the sound of melodic, relaxing music flowed out from within.

All the important characters from the southwest region were gathered here.

There were political powerhouses, wealthy tycoons and businessmen, as well as the leaders of some very illustrious family clans. They were all gathered here upon accepting Zheng Hongyi's invitation.

A fatso caught a glimpse of a bespectacled middle-aged man in the crowd and immediately walked up to greet him with a wide smile plastered on his face. "Mayor Liu, what an honor it is to see you here!"

The middle-aged man smiled lightly upon seeing the fatso. "I am only here to accompany Mayor Qin today."

The fatso stalled slightly in surprise, clearly not expecting even the likes of Mayor Qin to participate in tonight's event.

It was important to note that Mayor Qin was a deputy provincial level official who rarely ever attended social events such as this one. What could the purpose of tonight's event be, to have even garnered interest from Mayor Qin?

The fatso's name was Wei Ronghui, he was a prominent businessman in the real estate sector, having recently acquired a large block of land in Rong City. Now presented with the rare opportunity to meet Mayor Qin face-to-face, he was debating to himself whether it was wise to take advantage of this opportunity to forge closer relations with Mayor Qin.

After making a bit of small talk with Deputy Mayor Liu, Wei Ronghui began to make his way toward Mayor Qin.

As he was making his way toward Mayor Qin, he suddenly caught sight of a well-built man who looked to be in his forties, standing in silence by himself.

Hmm… he looks a little familiar.

Wei Ronghui walked towards him, hoping to get a closer look.

Holy f*ck! Isn't that the director of the provincial department of security, Zhou Zheng?

Isn't he currently busy investigating the bizarre homicide cases in Huang Xi Village? How does he have the time to attend this ball?

A look of shock appeared on Wei Ronghui's face. He recalled when Zheng Hongyi extended an invitation to him, he did say something about introducing a few people to everyone.

Upon recollecting this, Wei Ronghui's eyes narrowed into a slit. Could there be some sort of VIP set to make an appearance tonight?

At this moment, three young people also made their way into the venue.

Leading the way was a tall and lanky man. A hint of a smile appeared on his face as he surveyed the scene before him.

Following behind him was a beauty with long flowing hair and glamorous features, as well as a man with a smile on his face, looking very pleased with himself.

"Wuhua, all the people at this ball tonight are important characters in the southwest region, be careful with your actions and words." the man precautioned.

The two standing behind the tall and lanky man were none other than Lin Wuhua and Gao Peng.

Lin Wuhua nodded earnestly in response to Gao Peng's words of caution.

They originally did not even have the right to attend a ball of this prestige, the only reason why they were able to attend at all was because of the Young Master Zheng leading the way in front of them.

Zheng Yong was the name of this Young Master Zheng, he was also the son of Zheng Hongyi, who was, in turn, the host of tonight's ball.

Gao Peng and Zheng Yong attended the same university and could be considered good friends.

It was exactly due to his relationship with Zheng Yong that Gao Peng had the opportunity to attend this ball with Lin Wuhua.

Gao Peng looked at the prestigious characters around him with a scorching heat in his eyes. If he was able to forge relations with the people here, his company would definitely advance in leaps and bounds.

Most of the people at the ball nodded and smiled upon seeing Zheng Yong, with some even approaching him to strike up a conversation.

All the young beauties around Zheng Yong also uniformly cast their gazes upon him, a look of anticipation in their eyes.

Zheng Yong would also size up the beauties around him from time to time. There was certainly no lack of beauties amongst the young women in attendance tonight, but there was no one that particularly caught his eye.

Having seen countless beautiful women in his time, Zheng Yong had become desensitized to the sight of them. Most beauties to him now were no different from your average person and could no longer ignite the passion within him.

However, at this exact moment, a figure appeared in his line of sight, instantly rooting him to the spot.

Zheng Yong stared in a daze at the beauty in the red evening dress, the sight of her filling him with an unprecedented shock.

He had never seen such a beautiful and dazzling woman before. Her perfect figure and proportions, her indescribably gorgeous features, all the other beauties in attendance paled in comparison to her.

Sensing Zheng Yong's dazed state, Gao Peng also cast his view in the same direction, before exclaiming, "It's them!"

Hearing Gao Peng's exclamation, Zheng Yong turned to him. "Gao Peng, do you know them?"

Gao Peng nodded. "I've only met them once, but I recognize one of the guys, his name is An Lin, he's a student. As for the other two, I don't really recognize them."

Gao Peng intentionally hid the fact that An Lin and the woman accompanying him appeared to be in a relationship.

He had already detected that Zheng Yong seemed to be interested in the woman.

Although that was fair enough, such regal beauty was enough to tug at anyone's heartstrings.

He was familiar with Zheng Yong's personality, once he had his eyes set on something, he would spare no effort to pursue them, even by unscrupulous means if required.

All that was left was to sit back and watch things unfold…

"Oh?" Zheng Yong began to size up the three people across the room upon hearing Gao Peng's remark.

All three of them were new faces and appeared to be quite young. However, they did not look like your run-of-the-mill average person, so they are probably from some prestigious clan.

"Liu, bring on the beverages!" Zheng Yong said with a wave of his hand.

A housekeeper hurriedly made his way toward Zheng Yong while holding a platter, before expertly presenting two glasses of pre-concocted wine.

This was no ordinary wine, this was captivation wine brewed by the Religion of the Heaven Magus, with very strong selective aphrodisiac properties.

Zheng Yong could not be bothered wasting time on relationships if he fancied someone, all he needed was a glass of captivation wine.

He held the wine glass in his hand, looking at the woman across the room with a scorching gaze. Such perfection… I must have her tonight!

…

Zheng Hongyi and Huang Shanshan have just left to attend to a guest.

As a result, An Lin, Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng have begun to wander aimlessly in the venue.

"Hello there, my name is Zheng Yong. Welcome to the ball."

A tall, lanky man suddenly appeared in front of them, holding a wine glass with a smile on his face.

"Hi, my name is An Lin." An Lin replied politely.

Following this, Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan also introduced themselves.

Upon hearing their names, Zheng Yong's body quivered in shock and he began to feel a little ill.

He recalled the words Zheng Hongyi spoke to him before leaving to attend to a guest. "Yong, there will be three government special envoys attending this ball. Their names are An Lin, Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng.

"This ball is being held for them, remember, you're nothing to them, don't get on their bad side…"

Zheng Yong was, of course, aware of the meaning behind Zheng Hongyi's words.

These three were definitely not people he could mess with.

My God… and he was just considering feeding the captivation wine to the woman…

A light sheen of cold sweat appeared on Zheng Yong's forehead as he considered what he had almost just done.

"Are you ok, Mr. Zheng?" An Lin asked in concern upon seeing Zheng Yong's pained expression.

Zheng Yong recovered from his dazed state, with an apologetic expression appearing on his face. "Uh… I actually feel a little ill at the moment, I'm really sorry but I must take my leave now."

His only thought at this moment in time was to get the captivation wine as far away from this place as possible.

The wine was like a ticking time bomb, keeping him on edge constantly.

"Hmm, this wine looks quite exuberant."

An Lin grabbed a glass of wine from the housekeeper's platter.

What the f*ck!

Zheng Yong's legs almost gave out from under upon seeing this.

"All encounters are a product of fate, I propose a toast!" An Lin smiled as he held up his wine glass.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yong only wanted to smash the wine glass in his hand.

A toast? Then what? Have An Lin fall in love with him?

Are you kidding?!

Zheng Yong and An Lin's conversation had already attracted the attention of many guests.

Gao Peng stared in confusion at the scene unfolding in front of him, unable to get a grasp on the situation.

Zheng Yong was brimming with confidence only a moment ago, why has he backed down?

…

Sensing Zheng Yong's hesitation, An Lin's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you feeling too ill to drink?"

"Sigh, my apologies, I really am feeling quite unwell…

"Once I have recovered, I will be sure to invite Mr. An to drink to our heart's content!"

Zheng Yong responded.

"That's ok, I think I know how to make you feel better." An Lin smiled lightly.

"Mr. An is familiar in the way of medicine?" Zheng Yong suddenly began to feel a little uneasy.

"M-hm, this is what I call, physical therapy…" An Lin smiled devilishly.

He suddenly raised his right hand before bringing his open palm down through the air, making a solid connection with Zheng Yong's face!

Slap!

A loud slap reverberated throughout the whole venue.

Zheng Yong's body flew a full two meters through the air before tumbling to the ground. He spat out two teeth along with a mouthful of blood, as his face began to swell up drastically.

Gasp

The guests keeping an eye on An Lin and Zheng Yong's exchange all stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding in front of them, letting out a collective gasp.

Gao Peng was the most shocked of all, standing rooted to the ground.

Holy f*ck! What is going on here? Why has An Lin suddenly physically assaulted Zheng Yong?

An Lin turned to Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan with a smile on his face.

"M-hm, when dealing with scum like this, it's best not to use words when you can use actions!"

Chapter 54: Screwed Over By Drugged Wine

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The sound of Zheng Yong being slapped reverberated loudly around the venue for everyone to hear. All the guests gathered around them, and they were immediately treated to a sentence from An Lin that had them even more stupefied.

"M-hm, when dealing with scum like this, it's best not to use words when you can use actions!"

Everyone looked on in astonishment, some even felt An Lin's words to be utterly absurd!

Was he crazy? Not only had he just beaten Zheng Yong, but he was also now verbally abusing him too?

What had happened? Did they miss something?

The two of them appeared to have been conversing amicably, why has a brawl suddenly broken out?

Even those who had been keeping an eye on the situation from the beginning were no better informed to explain the situation.

Xuanyuan Cheng fell silent upon hearing An Lin's remark.

Slowly, he began to nod his head in agreement. "An Lin, what you just said… makes a lot of sense!"

Xu Xiaolan also looked at An Lin with a smile in her eyes but did not say anything.

The guests gathered around them all widened their eyes in surprise. Not only were the two of them not remorseful or apologetic in the least, but they were instead expressing their approval!?

Could it be that An Lin was not the only crazy one, but the three of them were actually all crazy too?

When Zheng Yong fell to the ground, tremors were running through his whole body. He gaped at An Lin blankly, completely dumbfounded by An Lin's actions.

Ever since he was born, his status and identity had demanded fear and respect. No one has even dared to scold him, let alone assault him like this.

But now, An Lin had not only slapped him in front of all these people but was also labeling him as scum…

He had never been humiliated like this in his whole life! Rage sent tremors running through his body, but as the son of tonight's host, he couldn't just flare up recklessly in rage.

Lin Wuhua looked at An Lin, a worrisome expression on her face.

Meanwhile, Gao Peng was absolutely ecstatic. The situation had developed beyond his expectations, but it appeared as if the end result could only spell more trouble for An Lin. The impending doom awaiting An Lin triggered a twisted sense of joy within him.

Soon, a slightly chubby man squeezed into the scene.

"What happened? Why has everyone gathered here?"

Everyone's expressions took another drastic turn as they saw who the new arrival was. The son had just got bashed, so now the father was also here!

The newcomer to the scene was none other than Zheng Hongyi, Zheng Yong's father, as well as the leader of the Zheng family clan, the largest family clan in the southwest.

Some of the guests had already begun to shake their heads and sigh with sympathy, seemingly already able to foresee the tragic fate awaiting An Lin and his friends.

Zheng Hongyi looked at Zheng Yong, slumped on the ground, his face swollen to the extent that it resembled a pig's head. Then he turned his gaze upon An Lin's trio, before falling into an involuntary daze, unable to grasp what had transpired.

An Lin lightly swirled the wine glass in his hand, the wine in the glass appearing particularly vibrant under the lights.

"Discipline your son properly, tell him to stop screwing people with drugged wine in the future…"

Zheng Hongyi listened to An Lin's remark, then looked at the glass of wine in his hand.

Cunning as he was, he immediately had a rough grasp of the sequence of events that had transpired.

He took a deep breath, before making his way toward Zheng Yong with his head lowered.

"Father…" An expression of fear appeared on Zheng Yong's face.

Slap!

Another loud slap reverberated through the venue as Zheng Hongyi held his hand up high, his whole body trembling with rage.

But that was not all, as Zheng Hongyi continued to rain down punches and kicks on Zheng Yong even as he cowered on the ground. "You dumb f*ck, do you know what you've done? You better learn a f*cking lesson from this and repent for your actions."

Zheng Hongyi let loose a torrent of abuse as he continued to rain blow after blow upon Zheng Yong.

He knew that the more severely he punished his son, the greater of a chance his son had of being allowed to live.

This scene left all the guests completely dumbfounded.

Some even began to rub their eyes, fearing that their vision was failing them.

My God! Has Zheng Hongyi gone crazy too?

Those three people just bashed your son, shouldn't you be teaching them a lesson? Why have you turned on your own son instead?

Zheng Hongyi was not acting this time, his blows rained upon Zheng Yong, each blow creating a muffled thump, audible even to the surrounding guests.

After a while, Zheng Hongyi seemed to run out of energy. He turned to his housekeeper and roared: "Liu, drag this disobedient trash outside and continue. Keep going until both his legs are broken!"

The housekeeper stared at Zheng Hongyi with a blank expression, at a loss for what to do.

"Hurry up!" Zheng Hongyi roared again.

Zheng Hongyi's yell startled Housekeeper Liu out of his daze and he hurriedly called for the security guards to carry Zheng Yong away, who was by now battered and bruised all over his body.

"Mr. Zheng, I hope that you weren't kidding when you said 'until both his legs are broken'."

A tall, slim woman in a black evening dress walked into the scene, a cold expression on her face. The words just then had been uttered by none other than her.

This woman was Huang Shanshan, who had accompanied Zheng Hongyi in getting here.

Huang Shanshan had also noticed that there was something amiss about the glass of wine in An Lin's hand.

The drugs in the wine could fool the average person, but it was obvious for any cultivator with a certain level of cultivation base.

"You need not worry about that, I deliver on what I promise!"

Zheng Hongyi replied with a determined expression on his face, before making his way toward An Lin and his friends and bowing in apology. "I am truly sorry, it is my failings as a father that has resulted in my son's actions. Respected envoys, are you satisfied with my treatment of the matter?"

An Lin nodded. "Yeah, it was so-so. Tell your son to restrain himself in the future, otherwise next time, it'll be his third leg that gets broken…"

An Lin was, of course, aware of Zheng Yong's intentions.

To drug Xu Xiaolan?

Even though it was impossible for Zheng Yong to succeed, even the mere thought of it was intolerable to An Lin.

It was only because of Zheng Hongyi that An Lin did not punish Zheng Yong more severely.

Zheng Hongyi tremored in excitement and relief, as he knew that his son's survival was ensured for now. "You have a heart of gold, respected envoy, I am forever indebted to you for your kindness!"

All the guests at the scene were wondering to themselves if they were in a dream.

Someone had just bashed his son, and not only did he continue to beat his own son, but he also expressed his gratitude to the perpetrators immediately afterward…

Gao Peng had also been scared sh*tless, his legs almost giving out from under him.

What had just happened? He was completely at a loss!

Amongst the guests, some were still in a state of confusion, whereas some shrewd individuals had quickly grasped the situation.

An Lin mentioned 'screwing people over with fake wine', this appeared to be the key instigator of this incident, as there was most likely a problem with Zheng Yong's wine.

The fuss that Zheng Hongyi caused upon discovering the drugged wine, as well as his referring to An Lin's trio as special envoys all hinted toward the fact that the three had very special identities.

Perhaps… they were the people that Zheng Hongyi wanted to introduce to everyone tonight.

Sure enough, having taken care of Zheng Yong, Zheng Hongyi made a grand introduction for An Lin, Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan to all the guests present.

The identity of the trio was said to be central special envoys specializing in the investigation of paranormal events.

The guests present were all a little confused at what this identity entailed.

However, there was no confusion in interpreting the top-secret documents Huang Shanshan brought out immediately afterward.

There was one clause in the document: "Upon seeing this document, all government officials in the southwest region must do their best to assist the special envoys in completing their mission."

After seeing the document, all the guests turned their astonished gazes upon An Lin's trio.

The scope of the document was such that it was effective even to the provincial party secretary.

Assuming the document was, in fact, authentic, then the identity and background of An Lin's trio was simply unimaginable!

The guests at the ball had finally begun to understand the reason behind Zheng Hongyi's handling of tonight's incident.

His seemingly unreasonable actions could now also be explained.

Gao Peng stood rooted to the spot, his gaze transfixed on the document.

Never would he have thought that the purpose of this ball was simply to better accommodate the completion of the mission assigned to An Lin's trio.

All these important characters of the southwest region, turns out that they were only the support cast to An Lin's trio!

Gao Peng seriously felt like he was about to go crazy.

And to think that he was taunting and plotting in secret against someone like this, did he want to die!?

Lin Wuhua was in even more of a daze. Only a year ago, she and An Lin were still both students at Hua Qing University. Wasn't he forced to withdraw due to excessive debt? How had he now transformed into a central special envoy?

To be able to garner the cooperation of all the important characters of the southwest region, just how much power would that require?

Lin Wuhua now felt that Xu Xiaolan's words couldn't ring truer, she really was blind. Turning her gaze upon Gao Peng, who had, at this point, pretty much gone crazy, then looking at An Lin, confidently mingling and conversing with the guests in the crowd, a deep sense of regret welled up in her heart.

However, in the end, all she could do was breath a silent and forlorn sigh.

Even if she were given the choice again, if she did not know what she now knew, she'd probably make the same decision anyway…

Chapter 55: Legal Age Loli

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The purpose of this ball was actually just for An Lin's trio to familiarize themselves with all the important characters of the southwest region, thereby making things more convenient for them.

The specifics of the mission assigned to An Lin's trio could not be revealed, and only a very small number of people, including Mayor Qin, Zheng Hongyi and Director Zhou had a rough idea of what the mission entailed. Hence, the rest of the guests could only make some general small talk.

Soon, they began to feel a little bored and found a table to sit at.

Zheng Hongyi and Huang Shanshan would take care of all these complicated interactions for them.

Upon taking a seat, Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng immediately engrossed themselves with their phones.

The allure of smartphones was not only apparent to mortals, but the myriad of functions in these phones also ensured that not even cultivators are immune to their charms.

Xu Xiaolan browsed for items on Jingdong and Taobao, beaming with excitement.

The desire for shopping that was common in all young girls burned in her like a roaring flame.

Whereas Xuanyuan Cheng was using his phone to research all types of cutting-edge electronic products, advanced mechanical products, and even the military weapons of each country.

Regardless of whether it was theoretical knowledge or the construction of models, all these aspects were within the scope of his research, giving him an air akin to that of an astute engineering student.

An Lin sighed lightly upon seeing this.

Other people attended balls to socialize and dance.

Meanwhile, these guys were glued to their phones…

Not long ago, they were this super badass trio that shocked the whole crowd!

But now, they had suddenly retreated to the sidelines, completely shattering their badass image.

Browsing Taobao and viewing blueprints… was this really normal?

An Lin let out another sigh before pulling his own phone out of his pocket to play King of Glory…

…

He chose Zhuge Liang as his game character. In comparison to a heroic character like Li Bai, with his graceful demeanor and chick-magnet skills, An Lin was more of a fan of handsome and flexible characters who were able to advance or retreat as the situation demands, such as Zhuge Liang.

Some of the daughters of prominent family clan leaders in attendance at the ball had already begun casting fleeting glances toward An Lin. His flamboyant actions earlier had captivated their heartstrings.

Some of the girls finally mustered up the courage to make their way toward him, intending to invite him to dance, only to find that he had sat down to play on his phone!

"What's Young Master An playing?"

A girl with a pretty face asked her friend quietly.

"I can't tell, he's too far away."

"I feel Young Master An is one of those unfathomable characters controlling everything behind the scenes, all his actions must hold some sort of profound meaning. I think it's best if we did not distract him." her friend said solemnly.

"That's true, he does look quite busy."

"Sigh, what a pity…"

The girl sighed, suppressing the urge to go and talk to An Lin.

At this moment, An Lin was engrossed in his game, completely oblivious to the concept of games ruining lives.

By now, his battle had reached its climax.

Both sides' defensive forts had been vanquished, and the only thing left was each sides' large crystal.

During the 5V5 group battle, both sides had suffered four casualties, with only An Lin's Zhuge Liang and the enemy's Han Xin remaining on the battlefield.

The outcome of their duel would decide the match.

Zhuge Liang and Han Xin were both at quarter health.

An Lin wanted to increase the distance between himself and Han Xin, buying him the eight seconds of time required to charge up his final attack, and defeating Han Xin in one fell swoop.

However, he had still underestimated Han Xin's range of attack.

Han Xin leaped towards Zhuge Liang, closing the distance in an instant before unleashing a ferocious barrage of attacks with his spear.

Zhuge Liang had insufficient health points, thus immediately falling to Han Xin's surprise attack.

"Idiot! You should've just teleported right in front of Han Xin and used the Attack of the East Wind to finish the match, why waste time charging the energy ball!?"

A crisp voice sounded beside An Lin's ear just as his Zhuge Liang fell to the enemy's Han Xin.

An Lin raised his head to find a very cute young girl with short chestnut-colored hair glaring down at his phone screen in disapproval.

He knew that what she said was of course correct.

However, for an adult like him to be scolded by a little girl like this was a little embarrassing. "Where have you come from? Shoo, go away kid!"

"Me? Kid!?" The little girl pointed at her own face, rage shimmering in her bright eyes, her breast rising and falling with each breath.

Oh wait, no, she doesn't have any breasts!

An Lin knew that his previous words were not very polite, hence he attempted a different approach. "Where has this cute little loli come from? Go find your mummy and daddy!"

The little girl became even more enraged upon hearing An Lin's words, raising her voice in anger. "Listen up, I'm eighteen! Already a legal age adult!"

An Lin stared at the little girl's petite figure, blinking with a blank expression on his face.

A pink evening dress was draped over her figure, appearing quite loose despite the fact that it was a size 'S', revealing her translucent white shoulders.

The cleavage of this evening dress reached down quite far, but her chest still looked flat as a board despite this.

"Ok… I believe you." An Lin nodded.

A pleased expression appeared on her face upon hearing An Lin's admission, but his next words almost made her faint from rage!

"You're a legal age loli, are you happy now?" An Lin corrected himself.

Happy? Happy my ass!

Would it kill him not to add on that sentence at the end?

She felt like if she were to continue with this line of conversation, she would cough up blood soon!

Hence, she immediately changed subjects. "Hi, my name is Tian Lingling, Miss Shanshan has instructed me to assist you in completing your mission."

"Oh, hi, my name is An Lin."

A flash of disappointment appeared fleetingly on An Lin's face.

He had thought that Tian Lingling had been attracted by his dashing figure whilst gaming.

It was now apparent that his thoughts had erred on the narcissistic side.

An Lin turned Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng's attention away from their phones before introducing Tian Lingling to them.

In the country Huang Shanshan was affiliated with, the National Special Operations Department belonged to the military, whereas Tian Lingling was the representative for the Hua Nation. Both of these forces would provide assistance to An Lin's trio in order to complete their mission.

The guest that Huang Shanshan and Zheng Hongyi had earlier left to greet was none other than Tian Lingling.

Tian Lingling had already reached the Eighth Stage Dao Body at only eighteen years of age, and she was considered to be a prodigy even in the Kingdom of the Nine States.

On a planet like Earth, her talent was absolutely first-rate, hence there was no need for her to be polite or exercise restraint when talking to An Lin and his friends.

An Lin was of course not going to take offense to this.

Why would he take a little kid seriously?

"Hey! Hey! An Lin, dance with me!"

Tian Lingling's bright eyes blinked with excitement and anticipation.

"With you?" An Lin sized up Tian Lingling, a barely detectable hint of disdain appearing on his face. "I refuse!"

Are you kidding? If he was to dance with a little loli girl as a partner, how strange would that be?

He would get mistaken for someone with pedophiliac tendencies!

An Lin's flat out refusal caused Tian Lingling to stomp her foot in rage.

Her anger subsided only after a long while. "Hey! Hey! An Lin, do you have WeChat?"

"Of course I do, I'm not a caveman, how could I not have WeChat?"

Tian Lingling chuckled slightly before pulling out her phone and bringing up the QR code. Her intentions required no explanation.

An Lin thought to himself that adding her on WeChat should be ok, it'd allow for easier communication as well, hence he very cooperatively added Tian Lingling.

Doo… Doo… Doo…

A message came through on An Lin's WeChat, it was a smiley face sent by Tian Lingling.

He raised his head to look at Tian Lingling before responding with a smiley face of his own.

An Lin was little speechless, she and Tian Lingling were standing face-to-face, so why were they exchanging emojis over the phone? Is this a new game in the mortal world?

Doo… Doo… Doo…

Another message came through on An Lin's Wechat: "Tian Lingling invites you to join the group 'all cultivators of the world unite together to protect earth'."

An Lin's eyes widened upon seeing the name of the group before looking toward Tian Lingling.

Tian Lingling smiled smugly at him. "This is the WeChat group for the Hua Nation's top cultivators, and it will also be your support team for this mission."

An Lin's expression remained blank.

With such an outlandish group name… was this really a group established by cultivators!?

All cultivators of the world unite together to protect earth? Do they think they're Ultraman!?

Even though An Lin was a little speechless, he still accepted the invitation into the group.

However, he discovered very quickly that he might've just joined a fake cultivator group…

Chapter 56: All Cultivators of The World Unite Together to Protect Earth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

System notification: "Fake Daoist Priest Little An has joined the group."

However, the group seemed to be discussing something very interesting, as a flood of messages immediately drowned out the notification announcing An Lin's arrival.

An Lin was more than happy to be an invisible bystander, surveying the conversation with curiosity.

Daoist Wooden Ox: "I still don't believe the twin-color ball for next time is going to be this number!"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but I have to tell you, my dream clairvoyance is accurate to the point that even I'm feeling a little shocked! I've been watching my lottery ticket every night before I sleep and only after all this time have I dreamt of the number on the twin-color ball. Anyway, I've already bought a hundred tickets, I'm gonna absolutely drain the prize pool!"

An Lin: "…"

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "You don't say, Crack Shot Clairvoyant's dream clairvoyance has extremely high accuracy! Last time he dreamt of himself taking a holiday in the East Sea where he encountered an earthquake and drowned to death in the ensuing tsunami. He pissed his bed upon waking up!

"And then only a few days later, there really were a few level nine earthquakes and tsunamis on the Japanese coast. Wooden Ox, Clairvoyant just gave you a great chance to win big, he's essentially gifting you money, who wouldn't accept that?"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant was a little indignant. "Hey, hey, I know you're complimenting me, but did you have to bring up my tendency to piss my bed?"

Atomic Bomb Fairy sent a smiling emoji. "Everyone already knows about you pissing your bed from your master. This isn't exactly a secret; it's a well-known fact to everyone in the group, so what's there to be shy about?"

An Lin: "…"

Well-known to everyone? I don't know about this!

Speaking of which, even immortals piss their bed! Even if it was a nightmare, that's still a little too preposterous, is it not?

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "Whatever, seeing as Wooden Ox doesn't want this opportunity, I'll reserve it for The Savior. @The Savior, you there?"

Golden Jade: "The Savior has gone to America to steal some cutting-edge military technology, he's not available!"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant sent a fearful emoji. "The last time he went to America, he messed around with their nuclear missile launching programs and added a spell formation to the nuclear missile during its launch. What has he gone to do this time?"

Golden Jade replied with a smiling emoji. "I don't know!"

The cultivators in the group all had mixed reactions to this, some sending worried emojis, others sending emojis roaring with laughter.

As for An Lin, he was completely stupefied.

Messing around with a nuclear missile launching program!? Adding spell formations on nuclear missiles!? Stealing cutting-edge military technology!?

Holy f*ck, are these cultivators really protecting Earth? Is this really not a group of cultivators with the Earth's destruction as their objective?

An Lin felt like he'd just joined a fake cultivator group.

He silently moved his finger toward the 'Delete and Leave' icon…

At this moment, a message suddenly popped up in the group chat.

Tian Lingling: "May I please have everyone's attention for a moment? Let's welcome the newest addition to our group, 'Fake Daoist Priest Little An'!"

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "Oh yeah, I saw that he'd just joined the group but didn't get a chance to ask about him. May I please ask which sect you are from?"

None of the people that were able to join this group for the Hua Nation's top cultivators were lacking in strength and status, hence the reason for Dreamy Voice Fairy's question.

Seeing as someone in the group had just asked him a question, An Lin naturally had to give a reply.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Er, sect… does the Heavenly Court count?"

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "…"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "…"

Daoist Wooden Ox: "…"

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "…"

Even Golden Jade who was normally very sparing with her words couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you're from the Heavenly Court?"

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Yes, that's correct."

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "Holy f*ck! The immortal ambassadors are here!"

Immediately after this, he seemed to realize something and immediately corrected himself. "Oh wait, no! What I meant was, I'd like to welcome the respected immortal ambassador in joining us to direct our work!"

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "Welcome, immortal ambassador!"

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "Welcome, immortal ambassador!"

Golden Jade: "Welcome, immortal ambassador!"

Enlightened Lazurite: "Welcome, immortal ambassador!"

…

Countless group members originally in hiding began to appear in the chat, lining up to initiate a welcome ceremony…

There was close to a hundred cultivators in the group, and at this moment almost half of them appeared to join in on the procession.

The rest of them were probably either in seclusion or doing something else and have hence remained silent.

An Lin was startled by the cultivators' warm welcome. There were often cultivators from the Heavenly Court sent to the mortal world to complete assignments, so it certainly wasn't uncommon for them to come into interaction with the Hua Nation military forces as well as cultivators in the mortal world. Were they always this enthusiastic when meeting an immortal ambassador?

What he did not know was, Tian Lingling's decision to add him to the group was actually a spur of the moment one.

Cultivators sent from the Heavenly Court in the past were either reluctant to use WeChat or felt like it wasn't necessary to call upon the power of the cultivators in the mortal world. Hence, they very rarely joined groups like this. For someone like An Lin to join this group was an event that had not taken place even once in the past year.

Enlightened Lazurite: "Respected immortal embassador, may I please ask what your Dao title is?"

Although many of the cultivators in the group used their Dao titles as nicknames, it was clear that 'Fake Daoist Priest Little An' was not An Lin's Dao title.

An Lin blinked as he considered the question, as this was something that he'd never thought about before.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "I don't have a Dao title yet, everyone can just call me An Lin."

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "Sure, no problem, is this your first visit to the mortal world, Master An? If you have anything you'd like to know, we'd be more than happy to help you out!"

All the cultivators in the group scrambled to express their agreement, clearly regarding An Lin as some sort of noble immortal.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Mr. Clairvoyant, please don't refer to me as master, I'm only nineteen years of age! In truth, I lived in the mortal world for more than eighteen years and have only recently gone to study in the Heavenly Court!"

Everyone in the group fell silent due to shock.

Enlightened Lazurite: "For a cultivator of the mortal world to be able to study in the Heavenly Court, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing…"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant immediately followed up. "And to think that Mr. An is so young! It's amazing that you've achieved so much at your age!"

Those who were able to assume the role of the immortal ambassador were all cultivators of great strength. Many of the students of The United University of Cultivation could not earn an opportunity to visit the mortal world even once before they graduated, thereby demonstrating just how rigorous the conditions were.

If you were to ask, why did these students that could not come to the mortal world still have to take the subject 'mortal studies', wasn't this an unnecessary waste of time?

To answer this question, An Lin felt it was best to use the Hua Nation's education policies as a means of explanation.

Many students have studied English for over ten years, but how many opportunities have they had to converse with native English speakers?

The people of the Hua Nation could only hype themselves up by conversing in English with one another, or through watching some English films, or by completing English exam questions.

Those who could exercise their English skills in a practical environment were still very few after all…

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "Mr. An, where did you study before going to the Heavenly Court?"

The members of the group were also quite curious to hear An Lin's reply.

To be able to produce such a prodigious young talent, the sect that he originated from must be quite a renowned one too.

After all, this could be considered to be a big event for the whole mortal cultivator society.

An Lin scratched his head helplessly at these questions. Who was his teacher before he went to the Heavenly Court?

Professor Chen from Hua Qing University?

Or was he supposed to list off all the teachers that he's had since kindergarten?

It was very obvious that this was not what they were asking…

Hence, An Lin could only answer truthfully.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Um, prior to going to the Heavenly Court, I hadn't yet begun cultivating. Haha, now that I think about it, I've only been cultivating for about six months."

An Lin was actually pretty embarrassed to admit this. For someone like him who'd only been cultivating for a mere six months to be held in such high regard by these veteran cultivators, even though he had thick skin, he was still feeling quite embarrassed.

However, no one took notice of his admission; all of them were only staring at one part in his reply: "Six months!"

Golden Jade: "Forgive me for asking, Mr. An, but how far has your cultivation progressed?"

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Er, not very far… I'm only at the Ninth Stage Dao Body."

Golden Jade almost spat out a mouthful of blood onto the computer screen upon seeing this reply.

Not very f*cking high!

The group chat, previously bustling with messages suddenly fell silent.

All the cultivators were staring, transfixed on the terms 'six months' and 'Ninth Stage Dao Body'.

Tian Lingling even went as far as to throw her phone to the side before turning to Xu Xiaolan in excitement. "Sister Lanlan, I need to ask you a question. What level cultivation base was An Lin when he first came to the Heavenly Court, and what level is he now?"

Xu Xiaolan smile lightly. "He had zero cultivation base when he first arrived at the Heavenly Court, but now he's already at Ninth Stage Dao Body. He's one of the big celebrities at The United University of Cultivation, so don't underestimate him!"

An Lin shook his head, the subject of her question was sitting right here, so why did Tian Lingling feel the need to ask Xu Xiaolan instead!?

Did he really have such low credibility?

Compared to An Lin's exasperation, Tian Lingling was in a state of shock.

She had been cultivating for more than ten years before finally bringing her cultivation base up to Eighth Stage Dao Body, a stage far superior to her peers. This made her develop great confidence in her aptitude for cultivation.

But An Lin reached Ninth Stage Dao Body in a short span of six months?

Tears began to well up in Tian Lingling's eyes as her confidence shattered into pieces.

A long while later, she picked up her phone and began to type with trembling fingers.

Tian Lingling: "Everyone, I've just confirmed with another immortal ambassador.

"I've received confirmation from her that An Lin spoke the truth. He really has only cultivated for six months, during which he grew to the Ninth Stage Dao Body from no cultivation base at all!"

Tian Lingling's words were like a bomb exploding on the surface of a tranquil lake.

All the cultivators that had been shocked into silence by An Lin all exploded into a frenzy again!

Chapter 57: Transference of Troublesome Duties

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "Holy f*ck! Cultivating from zero cultivation base to Ninth Stage Dao Body? Are we really playing the same cultivation game here!?"

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "My outlook on cultivation and life has received heavy blows, and I am feeling extremely upset. @Calm Celestial Maiden, please save me, I need your therapy!"

Peaceful Celestial Maiden: "Sister Atomic Bomb, Calm Celestial Maiden has already fainted from vomiting blood after seeing the previous messages."

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "…"

Daoist Wooden Ox: "…"

Enlightened Lazurite: "I feel like my life has been an online game, during which I suffered infinite hardships before finally reaching level eighty, only to find Mr. An laughing at me whilst holding a level ninety-nine dragon-slaying blade…"

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "Hehe, luckily for me, I have lightning-fast reactions, and I've already just taken ninety-nine heart-soothing tablets. I'm feeling much better now…"

Daoist Red Wyrm: "I feel like a salted fish bludger right now."

…

Several tens of cultivators all logged onto the chat at once, unanimously expressing their shame, causing An Lin's face to convulse slightly.

Upon seeing the messages popping up in the group chat, Tian Lingling felt a lot better.

As expected, burdens are always lighter when shared!

Aside from a few cultivators having their Dao hearts severely shaken, the incident passed by quickly.

…

En route to the ball, An Lin had caught sight of Lin Wuhua and Gao Peng.

But everything was all in the past now, and he did not feel the need to acknowledge them now.

The ball concluded soon after and An Lin and his friends arrived back at the Crown Holiday Hotel to rest.

Tian Lingling also followed along this time, as she was staying in the room neighboring An Lin.

She was the representative of the cultivators of the mortal world, hence it was her duty to accompany and assist An Lin's trio in completing their mission.

If they wanted to summon the help of other cultivators from the mortal world, she could comply and assist them in garnering their assistance.

But of course, if they wanted to recruit the help of some veteran cultivators with unfathomable cultivation bases, a little remuneration was bound to be required.

They acted as individuals and did not have any relations with the Heavenly Court, none of them would be dumb enough to provide free labor.

However, there were some cultivators in the chat that had a heart for public welfare and often slew monsters and demons for the benefit of society. They would be happy to provide their services free of charge.

The only problems were, firstly, the levels of their cultivation bases were all inconsistent, and they were motivated purely through their sense of justice, so there was no guarantee in the numbers that could be called upon.

An Lin considered his options momentarily before deciding to leave this group of potential allies alone for now.

Judging from the difficulty of the mission, the small group he led should have no problems at all.

In his hotel room, he'd already downloaded a thousand different romantic action films.

After assessing all of them, he laid down on his bed, exhausted.

"Sigh… there really was a demand for everything, there were even people asking him to purchase romantic action films in their stead…"

An Lin looked at the shopping list in his hand with an expression of resignation, suddenly realizing that earning money was not easy after all.

Some people would probably be inclined to ask, why didn't he just purchase everything online?

This was actually as when it came to things like clothing, An Lin's upperclassmen were all very distrustful of online sellers.

Hence, they've explicitly requested for An Lin to personally purchase them from physical stores, whilst also making very strict demands for the color and material of the clothing they require.

As for things like technological products and jewelry, An Lin can purchase hundreds and thousands of them with no effort.

If An Lin chose to purchase those items online, once the items started arriving, he'd probably end up with broken legs from running back and forth to receive them from the post office.

As such, it was better to just sweep through physical stores and take care of everything in one day.

Ding Dong!

A notification for a new text message suddenly appeared on his phone.

An Lin unlocked his phone to find that Tian Lingling had sent him a new message in WeChat.

Tian Lingling: "Yo, Fake Daoist Priest, do you have some spare time tomorrow? Come and catch some ghosts with me!"

An Lin: "…"

What the hell was catching ghosts supposed to be!?

He considered the day of shopping ahead of him tomorrow and immediately gave a reply. "I don't have time, I have to go buy some clothes tomorrow."

Tian Lingling: "How long could clothes-shopping take? I'll go with you, then we can go catch some ghosts afterward."

An Lin chuckled slightly. "Are you sure?"

Tian Lingling: "Sure as sure can be!"

An Lin did not reply, instead sending a picture of his clothes-shopping list to Tian Lingling.

Tian Lingling stared at the long winding list, falling into silence caused by shock.

…

Tian Lingling: "How about this… leave the clothes-shopping to me. You've heard of Tianyu Organization, right? My dad is the chairman, I'll get him to call on some helper, and I guarantee you that they'll have it all taken care of in two days. You can catch ghosts with me in the meantime!"

Tianyu Organization!?

That's one of the top five-hundred corporations in the world! An Lin thought to himself in surprise.

The organization dabbled in a myriad of different industries, including cinematography, music, fashion magazines, and clothing. It would not be far-fetched to call them one of the top corporations in the entertainment industry.

With a background as stellar as this, it really wouldn't be a problem to delegate the duty of clothes-shopping to her.

Just as he was about to agree to Tian Lingling's offer, he suddenly thought of something. He picked up his phone, taking photos of all the items on his shopping lists.

M-hm, the snacks for Yue Tu and the other peers, a few figurines, and some craft items…

After taking photos of all the shopping lists, An Lin sent them to Tian Lingling all at once.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Ok, I'll come and catch ghosts with you if you take care of all these as well!"

As each photo loaded on her phone, a steady stream of shopping lists began to appear in front of Tian Lingling's eyes.

List upon list of all types of items with all types of outlandish requirements seemed to taunt Tian Lingling from the confines of her phone.

Tian Lingling gripped her phone tightly, her eyes gaping wide.

A long while later, she took a deep breath before typing out a few words with great difficulty.

Tian Lingling: "Alright! Leave it all to me!"

An Lin looked at Tian Lingling's reply, before blissfully sending a message of 'good night', then setting his phone to the side.

"Ha, I'm truly far too clever! Now all my problems have been unburdened, what a fantastic feeling!"

An Lin closed his eyes blissfully, all the while triumphantly praising himself.

He had a feeling that he would sleep very well tonight!

…

In the neighboring room, Tian Lingling sat on her bed with her legs folded.

Her lips convulsed in rage as she looked at all the shopping lists on her phone, but in the end, could only mutter to herself angrily. "How dare he use me to do his bidding, I'll get back at him for this!"

If it wasn't for the fact that Uncle Lin was caught up with something and couldn't find the time, who would want to partner up with someone as despicable as An Lin!

Tian Lingling's petite face was filled with aggravation. She flopped down onto her bed in exhaustion like a salted fish bludger.

She had a feeling that she would sleep very badly tonight.

…

Soon, the sun replaced the moon in the sky, signaling the arrival of a new morning.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Tian Lingling was knocking on the door.

An Lin opened the door to find Tian Lingling in a pink tracksuit, her cute petite figure glowing with vitality.

"Good morning, Fake Daoist Priest!" Tian Lingling greeted him immediately after walking into his room

"Good morning, little loli!" An Lin immediately responded to her.

Upon hearing this, Tian Lingling almost flew into another fit of rage. She felt like An Lin was constantly a step ahead of her!

She held out a folder toward An Lin, within it were some documents containing information on catching ghosts.

An Lin flipped open the folder, reading the documents to get a basic understanding of the case.

In the Huang Xi Village of Rong City, there had recently been a few bizarre homicide cases.

In all of the cases, the victims had colorless skin with their eyes gouged out, leaving only blood-filled holes in their wake. The expressions on all their faces were of extreme terror, clearly the result of receiving a sudden fright from something.

The casualty count had reached eleven people by now, with Zhou Zheng, the director of the provincial department of public security personally investigating the case. However, no progress had been made but there was instead some very unreasonable discoveries made.

This included things such as strange sounds in the village at night, and the unexplainable presence of a black haze constantly hanging around in the air. These strange events struck constant fear into the village's inhabitants.

Zhou Zheng had investigated cases akin to this one in the past. He knew that this was most likely out of his range, hence he requested assistance from the central government. However, the National Special Operations Department was unable to spare any people so he instead turned to the cultivators from the Hua Nation cultivators society.

Daoist Lin Yi from Mount Longhu and Tian Lingling answered his request for assistance.

However, an unforeseen event in Tibet meant Daoist Lin Yi was no longer able to offer his services, but this could not be delayed.

Hence, after going around in circles like this for a while, Tian Lingling and An Lin finally formed a group to investigate the case.

After reading through the report, An Lin's initial impression was that this was the work of a soldier-level or general-level ghost.

This meant that the enemy was likely to be Fifth to Tenth Stage Dao Body.

To An Lin, this was still within his realm of capability. Hence, he packed up the documents before smiling to Tian Lingling.

"Let's go, Huang Xi Village it is!"

Chapter 58: The Human Is More Frightening Than the Ghost

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huang Xi Village was a small village which was quite far from Rong City. It was located next to a mountain stream and there was only a narrow road leading to it. It had a population of just a few hundred people.

The villagers had been in a state of anxiety ever since the string of strange murder cases which occurred recently.

Despite the fact that this news had already been blocked off by the departments concerned, how could it be possible for them to hide the sudden deaths of over ten villagers from the other people in the village?

Moreover, quite a few people witnessed first-hand the gruesome state of the corpses and were now unable to sleep properly.

The government put in place a series of reassurance and consoling policies, yet, their effects were minimal. Fear and panic continued to emanate throughout the village, and some villagers even fled their homes in dread.

As the road leading into the village was too narrow, cars were unable to enter.

An Lin and Tian Lingling got out of the car at the village entrance and started traveling on foot.

After following a limpid stream for one kilometer, they finally saw the thinly scattered village houses.

The village sat before blue mountains and was also encircled by a crystal-clear stream. Speaking solely about the environment, it was especially pleasant and made one feel carefree and happy.

After the string of murder cases, though, a haze of dread obscured the faces of the villagers and even the atmosphere of the village became low-spirited and heavy.

Wang Dong, the village chief, was in charge of greeting An Lin and Tian Lingling.

Zhou Zheng, the head of the provincial public security department, had already notified Wang Dong of the visitors.

Wang Dong knew that his two visitors were the ones specially dispatched here to deal with the murder cases, thus, he went to personally greet them.

Wang Dong was over fifty years old and was a relatively healthy male.

He waited at the village entrance and, upon seeing that the special task force was comprised of a relatively young looking male and a petite and adorable girl, he couldn't help but frown.

What's going on? Such a serious murder case and the public security department just dispatches these two useless looking youths to deal with it?

Although there was uncertainty and discontent in his mind, Wang Dong still fulfilled his duty of greeting these two visitors.

An Lin didn't talk any nonsense with Wang Dong and requested to be led to the scene of the murder straight away so that he could examine it.

There were three crime scenes in total, each in which an entire family fell victim. The manner of death was identical for each of the families, with their eyes being dug out and their vitality completely sucked dry.

An Lin and Tian Lingling arrived at the courtyard of one of the murder scenes. This was an area which had already been cordoned off.

Stepping over the cordon and entering the courtyard, they instantly felt a chill shoot through them, and their hairs involuntarily stood on end.

"Each of the murder scenes gives off a very sinister vibe. If I didn't have to bring you here, I would definitely keep as far away as possible." Wang Dong also felt a cold chill shoot through his sturdy body, and he shrank backward.

An Lin and Tian Lingling exchanged a glance and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

They circled around the courtyard once and arrived back at the entrance.

"Chief Wang, please take us to the next crime scene," An Lin said.

Wang Dong's eyes widened. "Y-you've finished your inspection?"

Don't normal police detectives examine every inch of the crime scene and ask all types of questions? Then, they slowly come up with a speculation after they've done all that?

These two just circled around the courtyard once, like tourists, and didn't ask a single thing. It hasn't even been five minutes yet and they're already asking to go to the next crime scene…

Are they really here to solve the case and not just here to have a look around?

Seeing An Lin and Tian Lingling nod seriously, Wang Dong could only keep his dissatisfaction to himself. He led them toward the next location with a dark expression on his face.

At the next location, An Lin and Tian Lingling also used just five minutes to finish their inspection.

Wang Dong was expressionless as he led them to the third crime scene.

Just like that, Wang Dong finished taking them around to 'tour' these three locations in less than half an hour.

"Village Chief Wang, we've finished inspecting the crime scenes. We'll stay at your house for a while and go back to check on the crime scenes tonight," An Lin smiled.

Wang Dong: "…"

When they arrived at Wang Dong's house, his wife had already prepared a sumptuous meal to greet them.

An Lin and Tian Lingling tucked in straight away and were full of praise for the delicious and natural tastes of the village food.

"Lingling, this chicken is amazing! Just a dabble of ginger salt and you'll be able to taste the fragrance and richness of the chicken!"

"Fake Daoist Priest, this water spinach is also delicious! I've never tasted such sweet and delicious greens in the city. These are proper, pollution-free vegetables!

"Aunty, can you please cook another dish of this water spinach?"

Hearing their conversation, Wang Dong's face twitched.

He felt as if he had received a pair of fake police officers to handle the case. It couldn't be that these two were at his house to freeload, right?!

If it wasn't for the fact that they showed him their documents, Wang Dong would've kicked them out long ago.

Contrary to Wang Dong's sour mood, his wife was chuckling happily. She was very happy that her dishes had received the approval of the police officers.

…

Before they knew it, night set in.

An Lin and Tian Lingling once again left the village chief's house.

This time, they didn't let Wang Dong follow them.

There were barely any street lamps illuminating the village, and as they walked down a small and dim lane, they looked around warily.

"That chilling sensation is a sensation uniquely carried by attacks of evil spirits, and it can linger around the scene of the incident for a long time. That evil spirit has clearly reached the general stage already," Tian Lingling suddenly said.

"One portion of the chill feels violent and ferocious, whilst the other portion feels obscure and deadly. There are two Evil Spirit Generals."

Hearing this, an anxious look appeared on Tian Lingling's delicate face.

"Judging by the locations of the crime scenes, the evil spirit attacks at random. I'm afraid that our patrol has to cover the entire area of Huang Xi Village."

"Uh-huh… I've heard that strange sounds can be heard at night. We can use that as a point of penetration!" An Lin continued.

Due to the string of killings, none of the villagers in Huang Xi Village dared go out at night.

The narrow path was silent and still, and only the footsteps of An Lin and Tian Lingling could be heard.

There was an especially clear crunch every time they took a step.

A chilly gust of wind suddenly blew over.

Tian Lingling shivered and involuntarily grabbed onto An Lin's sleeve.

An Lin sensed this and glanced at her strangely. "Cold?"

"M-hm," Tian Lingling answered softly. She blushed slightly and nodded.

An Lin shrugged. "I'm only wearing this one shirt though, so don't count on me to take off my coat and give it to you like they do in the movies."

Tian Lingling rolled her eyes. "Who wants your coat? I wouldn't wear it even if you had one!"

An Lin ignored her and continued walking forwards. This scared Tian Lingling and she hurriedly caught up to him.

An Lin was shrouded in shadows under the dark night sky.

Tian Lingling found the surrounding environment a bit creepy. This was a sensation that couldn't be experienced during the day.

She couldn't help but find something to say, as speaking was the only way she could suppress her terror.

"Fake Daoist Priest, do you think that we can beat the two Evil Spirit Generals?" Tian Lingling asked.

"We can't beat them…" the male in front of her answered slowly.

Tian Lingling was baffled. "Why? Didn't you just say that as a powerful cultivator who's on the Immortal Rankings Board, you'd be able to dispatch the Evil Spirit Generals easily?"

A bone-chilling gust of wind swept over, and dark shadows danced about as the leaves rustled.

"Because…"

An Lin turned around to face Tian Lingling slowly. His eyes bulged and his tongue was sticking out.

"I'm… already…

"Dead…!"

"Wah!" Tian Lingling fell to the ground in fright. She screamed loudly and was scared to tears!

Chapter 59: The Human Is More Frightening Than the Ghost

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Looking toward Tian Lingling who was crying on the floor, An Lin felt slightly stunned.

"Hey, I was only joking, why are you so easily scared?

"You actually dare accept a ghost-hunting mission with such psychological state?" he asked in astonishment.

Tian Lingling raised her head, and upon seeing that An Lin was fine, a sulky expression appeared on her tear-stained face. She leaped toward him and started hammering his chest with her small fists.

"Waaah, you big bully! Who bullies people like that?" Tian Lingling hammered him as she bawled.

"Sniff…" She blew her nose and wiped it on An Lin's shirt. She then continued to cry and hit him.

The corner of An Lin's mouth twitched. He really wanted to say, 'You're using my shirt as a handkerchief, is that not bullying?'

In the end, he suppressed his urge to say this. After all, he was in the wrong in the first place and his joke had been a bit over the top.

Just as Tian Lingling was venting her feelings, An Lin felt as if he had heard the sound of sobbing coming from another location…

"Waah, waah, waah…

"Waah, waah, waah…"

He patted Tian Lingling's back and said, "Listen, it sounds like there's a ghost crying with you somewhere…"

Tian Lingling's petite body shivered and she shouted in realization, "Big bully! You're lying to me again!"

An Lin: "…"

As the other wail became louder and louder, Tian Lingling finally sensed that something was off.

Her hairs stood on end and she was terrified as she looked toward the direction of the wail.

"Hey… Do you really think that there's a ghost there? Why is it crying with me?" Her voice was shaky as she questioned An Lin.

"How would I know? If you can, why don't you go and ask," An Lin answered.

Tian Lingling shrank back at the thought of this, and an expression of fear and trepidation showed on her face.

An Lin sighed softly. If he hadn't come along on this mission, Tian Lingling would probably have been scared off by the ghost before she had even seen what it looked like.

He followed the strange noise, and Tian Lingling followed closely behind him with a yellow talisman clenched in her fists.

The wail became louder and louder. Eventually, the wail sounded like it was right next to their ears.

They looked all around yet could not find any suspicious traces.

Where is it?

Suddenly, An Lin felt a cold chill envelop his entire body.

"Are you… looking for me?"

A hoarse voice traveled into his ears.

Immediately afterward, a white-clothed figure suddenly hung upside down in front of An Lin.

She didn't have a mouth or a nose, and her two eyeballs were attached by red strips of flesh that were one foot long. The eyeballs hung outside of her head and swayed about as they stared at An Lin.

"Holy f*ck!"

An Lin jumped in fright. Without any hesitation, he used his Mountain Quaking Fist!

Boom!

The golden fist enveloped the white-clothed figure, and a massive amount of power was released.

"Ahhhh…!"

The white-clothed evil spirit was taken by surprise, and the strike sent it flying back. It flew for over ten meters before thumping into the ground and laying there, shivering.

Tian Lingling didn't even have time to scream before seeing the evil spirit get pummeled. Her mouth was agape, yet no scream was forthcoming. She could only stammer, "So strong…"

An Lin didn't take any notice of Tian Lingling. Instead, he ran curiously toward the evil spirit.

His Mountain Quaking Fist was very powerful. So much so that even the Evil Spirit General lay crippled on the floor after being struck by it head on.

"Hmm? Its body has become semi-transparent. Is it about to die?" An Lin wondered aloud as he neared the evil spirit.

"Yeah, that's right! Hurry up and use that immortal spell again! Kill it, quickly!" Tian Lingling urged An Lin on as she hid behind him. She poked her head out and was a bit scared as she looked toward the evil spirit on the ground.

"No need to hurry. After living for so many years, this is the first time I've seen an evil spirit. I need to examine it thoroughly…" There was a look of excitement on An Lin's face, and he glanced at the evil spirit, full of malicious intent.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the white-clothed evil spirit bulged!

Oh, its eyes were already bulging. Its expression had never changed.

However, its flesh attached eyeballs suddenly flew toward An Lin.

"Holy f*ck! It can still move! Half-power Mountain Quaking Fist!"

An Lin was startled by this and he cast another Mountain Quaking Fist.

Boom!

The ground caved in from the power of his punch and the evil spirit was completely flattened.

"Waah, waah, waah…"

The voice of the white-clothed evil spirit was hoarse as it wailed in agony, and its body became even more transparent.

An Lin picked up a branch and prodded the evil spirit's long eyes. He then curled up the eyeball and flesh which had spurted out.

"Ewww… That's disgusting!" Tian Lingling couldn't bear to watch on.

"This is so mysterious! When I prod this transparent body, it feels like it's real!" An Lin exclaimed in surprise.

The white-clothed evil spirit was limp and powerless, and its eyes bulged. "Waah, waah, waah…"

"Huh? Say, it doesn't have a mouth. Why is it able to make these sounds?"

An Lin had a look of curiosity and he used the branch to poke at where the evil spirit's mouth should have been. This area of its face was a sheet of white.

When the branch jabbed this area, it sunk in like a balloon.

"Hehe… interesting." An Lin found this very amusing, as he didn't expect for evil spirits to be so mysterious.

"Waah, waah, waah…" The white-clothed evil spirit wailed powerlessly.

An Lin shook his head in disappointment. "How come it only knows this one line. Can't it say anything else?"

Afterward, he shifted his gaze to the large bust on the evil spirit's chest and poked at it curiously with his branch. "Is this real…"

"Waah, waah, waah…" To his surprise, tears actually started to appear on the white-clothed evil spirit's bulging eyes.

"Ah! Why are you such a hooligan?" Tian Lingling shrieked upon seeing An Lin's actions. She raised her hands and tossed out a warding seal.

Boom!

A golden column of light descended from the skies and blasted into the evil spirit's body, becoming the last straw which crushed it.

Within the golden column of light, the evil spirit's body slowly vanished. The sound of its wailing also faded into the wind and after a while, completely vanished…

"Why did you kill it?" An Lin looked unhappily toward the girl behind him and spoke with irritation in his voice. "When you should've been fighting with all you had, you were as timid as a squirrel. When you should've been warm and gentle, you were as violent as a tiger."

Tian Lingling's face flushed red. "But you were acting indecently just then. I can't let you commit such crimes…" she retorted softly.

An Lin grimaced. How did his act of investigating evil spirits become one of acting indecently?

What on earth was she thinking?!

Just as he was feeling aggrieved about not having a sample to examine, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and threw a fist backward.

Bam!

A distorted black figure was sent reeling back and it melted into the darkness.

Sad and shrill cries could be heard as five wisps of black mist charged at An Lin and Tian Lingling.

Tian Lingling pulled out a ward and threw it into the mist ahead of them.

The ward shone brightly and the projection of six golden swords materialized. The swords became a streak of light as they slashed toward the black mist.

It appeared as if the golden sword projections were very effective against the black mist. Whenever the black mist was struck by them, it was akin to water meeting raging flames, and it would instantly evaporate.

After destroying the wisps of black mist, the last golden sword projection shot toward the distorted figure which had attacked An Lin a moment ago and melted into the darkness.

An Lin's eyes sparkled, and he ran toward the direction of the last sword projection. "Hurry up! Don't let it escape! I have to capture that thing alive this time and thoroughly investigate it!"

Within the darkness, when the distorted figure heard this, it began to flee even quicker…

Chapter 60: My Acting Skills Are Flawless!

"Demon, where do you think you're going!"

An Lin suddenly burst forward at an astounding speed and punched toward the Evil Spirit General which had just swatted the golden sword projection aside.

Who knew that this evil spirit was extremely nimble. Twisting about like a mudfish, it dodged his fist.

The evil spirit's body was pitch-black and mucous. In the darkness of the night, it looked like a black sheet which fluttered in the wind.

Once An Lin neared it, he began to feel an extremely intense negative emotion.

This mental state being projected outwards was the intertwining of chaos, terror, agony, and despair.

A shrill wail resounded through the air. It was not only ear-piercing, but also seemed to resonate with the brain and elicit all kinds of negative emotions.

The evil spirit's body suddenly writhed intensely. Immediately afterward, ten pitch-black claws extended from its body and started lashing toward An Lin.

Mountain Quaking Fist!

An Lin threw a fist toward the direction before him. With boundless might, the golden fist that was ten feet in size surged outwards.

The pitch-black claws were pulverized by the Mountain Quaking Fist which continued to surge forward.

Taking advantage of the fist's pause as it struck its claws, the evil spirit performed an evasive maneuver and dodged this powerful strike. Then, it continued to flee.

"Tian Lingling! Is there any way to restrict this evil spirit?" An Lin shouted toward the girl behind him.

She didn't need to be reminded by An Lin, and a ward was already pinched between her fingers. Looking toward the fleeing evil spirit, she began muttering incantations.

"Four Spirits Soul Locking Chain, activate!"

A blinding light instantly radiated out from the ward, and four golden chains started slithering toward the evil spirit like snakes.

Even though this Evil Spirit General was especially nimble, it was unable to escape from these chains. The four chains instantly bound his body.

"The Soul Locking Chain can't last for long, hurry up!" Tian Lingling shouted anxiously at An Lin after realizing that the ward in her hand had already started to burn.

The shrill cry of the evil spirit sounded even more mournful now, and energy erupted from its body as it tried to break out of the restriction.

However, before it could break free, a massive golden fist smashed toward it.

Boom!

A pure energy erupted, crushing the evil spirit.

A lump of distorted black matter lay on the floor squirming.

This thing was very unusual, and An Lin was afraid that unwanted situations could arise if he didn't dispose of it properly. So, he didn't feel like examining it anymore.

Just like that, he threw another Mountain Quaking Fist at the evil spirit on the ground!

Boom!

The entire floor caved in under the might of the Mountain Quaking Fist.

The distorted body of the evil spirit was also ripped to shreds and eventually, it disappeared completely.

"Phew… Finished!" An Lin patted his hands off and there was a smug look on his face.

After exterminating those two Evil Spirit Generals, the murder cases of Huang Xi Village finally drew to a close.

At this moment, in the middle of the pit formed by An Lin's punch, a crystal white bundle of cobwebs appeared.

This had emerged from the evil spirit's body after it disappeared.

However, An Lin clearly didn't notice this bundle of cobweb.

Outside of the dense forest, a black-robed male was looking nervously toward An Lin's direction, and he kept repeating, "Hurry up and look down, hurry up and look down! How have you not noticed such a massive bundle of cobwebs…"

Right at this moment, a petite and cute girl ran to An Lin's side.

Seeing this, the black-robed male excitedly thought, "Ah! The male is blind, but this girl can probably notice it!"

Immediately afterward, the girl started conversing cheerily with him, completely ignoring the pit…

The black-robed male felt his chest tighten. "Are they both blind?! Monsters always drop loot when they die. Why aren't they checking for loot after killing the Evil Spirit General?"

Tian Lingling was all smiles as she fished out another talisman. "Earth Flattening Technique!"

Rumble…

Earth and rock rumbled about.

Immediately afterward, the pit formed by An Lin was leveled just like that…

Along with the pit, the crystal-white bundle of cobwebs also disappeared under the earth and rocks.

"Fake Daoist Priest, don't forget to clean up the battlefield! Otherwise, the villagers will receive a scare if they discover such a massive pit on their path!" Tian Lingling raised her cute eyebrows and spoke with an air of authority.

Hearing this, An Lin didn't retort her. Instead, he gave her a thumbs up. "Nicely done!"

The black-robed male's vision blackened in anger and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What the f*ck!

You remember to clean up the battlefield but don't remember to scour it for loot?

No… I went to such difficulty to lure cultivators from the cultivation world. The mission can't fail just like this.

If I want to remedy this situation…

Then I, the Demon King of Wisdom, must act myself!

The black-robed Demon King of Wisdom suppressed his aura to that of the Tenth Stage Dao Body and started to walk out slowly.

"Since we're done with this task, let's head back." An Lin patted Tian Lingling's shoulder and started to turn around.

However, right at this moment, he suddenly heard an angry shout. "Halt! Have you asked me, the Demon King of Wisdom, if you can escape?!"

An Lin and Tian Lingling turned around at the same time. Then, they saw a black-robed male glowering angrily at them with crimson eyes.

There's still an enemy?!

Is he the mastermind?

They felt the powerful aura emanating from the Demon King of Wisdom, and their expressions became even more grave.

Tian Lingling clenched a ward in her hand and An Lin was ready to cast a Mountain Quaking Fist at any time.

Seeing the expressions of the two people in front of him, the Demon King of Wisdom was very satisfied and he ferociously slammed the floor with a single hand.

Boom!

The pit which had just been filled split open again, and a bundle of crystal-white cobwebs flew out into his hands.

"Such nerve! You actually dare slay two of my trusted lieutenants and even futilely attempt to hide this bundle of Snow King Cobweb?! Do you know how important this is to me?!" The Demon King of Wisdom's voice was dripping with hatred.

An Lin and Tian Lingling were utterly stupefied, and they exchanged a glance.

There was something in the bottom of the pit?!

This hidden Snow King Cobweb… If he didn't mention it, then we never would have known!

Is this Demon King of Wisdom retarded?

The Demon King of Wisdom found that An Lin and Tian Lingling were looking at him with a hint of pity in their eyes, and this made him feel a bit uneasy.

Could it be that my plan has been seen through? It can't be, my acting is exquisite…

"Heave-ho! You won't get away with this, die!"

The Demon King of Wisdom flung his arm and a gigantic black palm rushed toward An Lin.

An Lin dared not belittle this strike, and he used his full-power Mountain Quaking Fist right away!

The golden fist tore through the gigantic black palm and smashed into the Demon King of Wisdom.

"Pfff… Ah!"

The Demon King of Wisdom spat out a mouthful of black blood. The Snow King Cobweb slid out of his hands, and he fell into a continuous retreat.

"If it wasn't for the fact that my severe injuries haven't recovered, do you think that you'd be able to injure me?!

"Next time we meet, I'll definitely make your life a living hell!" After shouting these words of threat, the Demon King of Wisdom started to flee.

His speed was so quick that An Lin and Tian Lingling gave up any thoughts of pursuing him.

"He escaped just like that?" An Lin was a bit dumbfounded.

Wasn't he all arrogant and acting like the final boss just a moment ago? How come he was unable to withstand even one Mountain Quaking Fist? Where is his dignity as a boss?!

Tian Lingling furrowed her brows. "I keep getting the feeling that something is off about that so-called Demon King of Wisdom," she said uneasily.

Thinking back to his exaggerated expressions, An Lin nodded in agreement.

Afterward, the two of them looked cautiously at the bundle of crystal-white cobwebs which lay on the floor…

…

This was a mystic realm within the Kunlun Mountain Ranges. Jagged rocks of grotesque shapes filled this place, and the entire area was shrouded by a rainbow-colored mist.

In the depths of this mystic realm, there was a vast cave which was filled to the brim with vital energy.

Within this cave, there was a golden supreme throne, six kingly thrones, and hundreds of black-robed males.

Atop the golden supreme throne, there was an imposing figure shrouded by a black mist. Currently, he was looking at a crimson-eyed male who was half-kneeling before him.

"Wisdom, how did it go?" The imposing figure spoke in a husky voice.

"Rest assured Demon Emperor. Although there was a small hiccup along the way, thanks to my flawless acting skills, the task was completed successfully!" The crimson-eyed male spoke with firm conviction.

The Demon Emperor nodded approvingly. "Very well! The moment that our demon clan revives has finally come!"

Chapter 61: Request for Reinforcements!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After exterminating the two Evil Spirit Generals and defeating the Demon King of unknown strength, the murder cases of Huang Xi Village finally received a preliminary resolution.

The next morning, the villagers of Huang Xi Village all felt at ease when they woke up.

Even the air outside seemed to be purer and fresher.

Village Chief Wang Dong also experienced these feelings, and he felt as if his entire body had relaxed.

The case hasn't even been solved yet, why do I feel so relaxed?

For some reason, An Lin and Tian Lingling popped into his mind.

He recalled that the girl seemed to refer to the male as 'Fake Daoist Priest'.Aren't Daoist Priests the ones who vanquish demons and monsters?

Thinking back to their little trip out last night, a speculation formed in Village Chief Wang's mind.

"This case was very strange right from the beginning. Could it be that it really was the doings of demons and monsters, and those two were sent here by the government to capture the monsters? Why else would they act so strangely though…"

Although this speculation sounded ridiculous, Wang Dong was unable to shake it from his mind.

It was a pity that An Lin and Tian Lingling had already left Huang Xi Village though, thus, his speculation could only remain as just that, a speculation.

…

Tian Lingling submitted a report detailing the results of their mission to the National Special Operations Department.

They wouldn't need to worry about winding up the case anymore, as the departments concerned would step in and handle it.

After he returned to the hotel, An Lin called over Huang Shanshan, Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng.

The five of them sat in front of a table and carefully scrutinized the thick bundle of cobwebs laying in front of them.

"That's right, this bundle of cobwebs is indeed the Snow King Cobweb. It can attach to spirits, and through them, suck the vitality of humans." Huang Shanshan spoke with a tone of certainty as she fiddled with the cobwebs.

"The Snow King Cobweb is unique to the Hundred-Eyed Spider Evil Spirit King. This powerful evil spirit has been wanted for a long time in our cultivation world.

"Moreover, in addition to strengthening the seal on the demonic pagoda, we've also been tasked with exterminating an Evil Spirit King. Isn't this Hundred-Eyed Spider the Evil Spirit King that we have to exterminate?" Tian Lingling's eyes lit up.

"The Hundred-Eyed Spider is an Evil Spirit King who often appears around the demonic pagoda. It's already been prying on the pagoda for a long time. However, our cultivators have been unable to capture or kill it as it comes and goes mysteriously.

"Now that we have this bundle of cobwebs, we can trace the Hundred-Eyed Spider's location through its presence!" Huang Shanshan was also a bit worked up.

Xuanyuan Cheng looked toward the bundle of cobwebs laying on the table and questioned, "So, you're saying that this Hundred-Eyed Spider is with the Demon King of Wisdom who suddenly appeared? Everything about his appearance seems strange. If it wasn't for him, An Lin probably would never have seen this cobweb bundle. I personally feel that the Demon King wants to borrow our hands to kill this Hundred-Eyed Spider."

"Or, this is a trap. Maybe he wants to lure us to the Hundred-Eyed Spider, then find a chance to kill us," Xu Xiaolan added.

Thinking back to the Demon King of Wisdom's exaggerated expressions, An Lin nodded in agreement. "This does seem a bit fishy. Our identities as immortal ambassadors haven't been exposed. So, if the Demon King is indeed laying out a trap, then he's probably targeting the cultivators of this country…"

The Demon King of Wisdom probably would never have thought that his acting skills would lead to so many suspicions.

Nobody was worthier to receive 'The Golden Raspberry Award' than him.

Thus, after some discussions, everyone reached a consensus.

Although there were dangers associated with capturing the Hundred-Eyed Spider, this was a rare chance which couldn't be relinquished.

So, in order to guarantee their safety, they decided to ask for reinforcements!

Just like that, An Lin once again entered the 'all cultivators of the world unite together to protect earth' group chat.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Hi seniors!"

Daoist Wooden Ox: "Haha, Daoist An, you haven't surfaced in this chat for a long time!"

When he saw this, An Lin's mouth twitched.

How long has it been? It's only been two days!

Only people like Daoist Wooden Ox, who would feel uneasy if they didn't go into the chat every day, would feel that this was a long time.

Enlightened Lazurite: "Is Daoist An here to ask something? Why don't you tell us what the matter is?"

Heh, this was the kind of understanding person that An Lin liked. Talking with them was so easy!

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Haha. I do indeed need everyone's help for something. This has got to do with the mission that I'm undertaking."

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "What is it that you need help with, Daoist An?"

After Dreamy Voice Fairy's message, a few other cultivators bobbed up in the chat.

Evidently, they were quite interested in what An Lin had to say next.

Seeing the reaction in the chat, An Lin breathed a small sigh of relief. It looks like the seniors in this chat are all quite passionate and warm-hearted.

Thereupon, he described in the chat their mission, that being the need to exterminate the Evil Spirit King, Hundred-Eyed Spider. He also detailed to them the things which had happened in Huang Xi Village.

As for the level of risk associated with this mission, he could only leave it to the cultivators of the chat to determine for themselves.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "That's about all there is to it. I also can't get you seniors to help for free, so any seniors who help me in this mission will receive spirit stones as compensation."

An Lin had learned from Tian Lingling that spirit stones were an extremely valuable currency in the cultivation world on Earth.

Even to some elders who had a high cultivation base, spirit stones were very enticing.

He was the team leader of this mission after all, so he was understanding of the fact that he needed to enlist help through his own ability.

Sure enough, at the mention of spirit stones, many more cultivators bobbed up in the chat and it instantly became very lively.

Golden Jade: "May I ask what rank cultivators Daoist An is after?"

Exterminating the Evil Spirit King wasn't a mission that any cultivator could take part in, especially since there were many hidden dangers.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "I need ten cultivators of the Tenth Stage Dao Body and will take all Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators who are willing to come. As for the spirit stone compensation, I'm not too familiar, so why don't you guys name a price."

An Lin rubbed his storage ring anxiously. There are only thirty thousand spirit stones in here… That should be enough, right?

He had heard from Tian Lingling that there were only eight cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage in this group chat.

They were all leaders or elders of the various large-scale immortal sects and were always extremely busy.

It was due to this fact that An Lin dared to say he would accept all the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators who were willing to sign up.

Compared to An Lin's nervousness, Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan were relaxed as they snacked on seeds while waiting for updates…

He suddenly felt a bit regretful. Sigh, being the team leader is so hard…

If I knew this earlier, then I wouldn't have become the team leader to flex. That way, I could've had the two next to me also chip in on the compensation.

Seeing that An Lin had asked them to name their own price, the chat became even more lively.

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "Daoist An, my cultivation base is that of the Tenth Stage Dao Body. Fifty spirit stones and I'm in!"

An Lin was a bit dazed upon seeing this message.

It's that cheap to recruit a cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body?

Fifty spirit stones? Mates rates?

Right at this moment, Enlightened Lazurite sent a message: "No way!"

As expected, someone opposed it , An Lin thought to himself.

Such a cheap price will leave other cultivators feeling dissatisfied, how will others quote their prices like this?

Enlightened Lazurite followed up his message: "Clairvoyant, are you trying to cheat Daoist An?! The compensation for the Tenth Stage Dao Body can only be twenty spirit stones, no more!"

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "Exactly right. Clairvoyant, you've gone crazy thinking about spirit stones!"

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "Fifty spirit stones, why don't you rob a bank? Have you considered Daoist An's feelings?"

An Lin was dumbfounded.

What the f*ck! Have you considered my feelings? I feel very happy!

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "Sorry Daoist An, I demanded too much. Twenty spirit stones are enough, count me in!"

An Lin really wanted to tell him that he didn't need to apologize…

Right at this moment, a message was sent by The Savior, an individual who hadn't spoken in this chat for a long time. "Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator here. I only need one hundred spirit stones. I'll go along with Little An and borrow this chance to test out a new weapon that I stole…"

An Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Holy f*ck! I can recruit a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator with just one hundred spirit stones?!

Green River Sword Immortal: "One hundred spirit stones and count me in!"

An Lin: "…"

…

Just like that, An Lin—who had initially thought that he would need to fork out a fortune—only spent five hundred spirit stones. With this, he was able to recruit three cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage and ten cultivators of the Tenth Stage Dao Body…

He looked toward the sky, his feelings complicated.

What's with this world?

Am I too rich, or are the cultivators of this world too poor?

Chapter 62: Come, Strike Me to Death!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that the recruitment fee was so cheap, An Lin felt an urge to recruit even more cultivators of the Tenth Stage Dao Body.

After all, many hands make light work, no?

However, he eventually abandoned this idea.

Ten cultivators of the Tenth Stage Dao Body in addition to three cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage was already powerful enough for a reinforcement team.

If the enemy was merely a Hundred-Eyed Spider, they would completely be able to string it up and beat it.

This team would also be strong enough to cope with any unforeseen dangers.

As long as emperor ranked monsters didn't appear, they would be able to flee even if they couldn't defeat their enemy.

If an emperor ranked monster did appear, then having more cultivators of the Tenth Stage Dao Body would just be meaningless anyway…

An Lin allowed the reinforcement team two days of preparation. After two days, they would meet at Chengdu and then travel together to the Kunlun Mountain Ranges.

Tian Lingling, Xu Xiaolan, and the others were all very pleased with the recruitment results. Afterward, they all left to do their own things.

Another day quickly went by.

The next day, Tian Lingling heaved a few large boxes into An Lin's room.

Seeing that small petite body carrying a box which was larger than her own body, An Lin found it quite adorable.

Inside the box that Tian Lingling heaved over were the goods that he had asked her to buy for him.

The goods were of various shapes and sizes, and there were hundreds of items in total.

An Lin checked through the items and found that nothing was missing.

He then happily gave Tian Lingling ten spirit stones as a tip.

When he saw Tian Lingling hugging the ten spirit stones and rolling around the bed happily, he couldn't help but fall deep into thought again.

Could it be… that cultivators of Earth really are this poor?

An Lin put all the items into his storage ring. He then walked to the French windows and drew the curtains back.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, and it was gloomy as far as the eye could see.

Within the thick layers of clouds, there was the deep rumble of thunder.

"It's thundering, it's raining, it looks like we can only stay in the hotel!"

Tian Lingling lay on the bed on her stomach, and she swayed her legs about as she spoke tenderly.

Looking toward the scene in the sky and hearing the girl behind him mention thunder, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

This thought was very intense, and it caused him to come to a risky decision…

…

Atop the building, fierce winds howled by and heavy rain was about to fall.

Xuanyuan Cheng, Xu Xiaolan, and Tian Lingling all looked toward the male in front of them anxiously.

"Student An Lin, this is a very risky decision. I think that you should think it over carefully," Xuanyuan Cheng said solemnly.

There was a worried look on Xu Xiaolan's face. "An Lin, why are you doing this? Do you think that you can play around with your life like this? Listen to me, let's just go back!" Xu Xiaolan yelled.

Tian Lingling was also animated as she spoke. "Fake Daoist Priest, do you still have spirit stones? Why don't you distribute your wealth first… Considering the fact that we've been acquainted, why don't you give me ten more spirit stones?"

Xiao Hong, who was laying on Xu Xiaolan's shoulder, also sobbed loudly. "Waah… waah… waah… Master, if you die, then I can't survive either! Why are you bringing me down with you…"

Xiao Hong had left An Lin's pocket long ago.

If it didn't leave, then in a moment, even if An Lin didn't die, it would die anyway!

Faced with their words, An Lin smiled faintly. Then, with a confident and carefree demeanor, he turned his back to them and continued flying his kite…

Flashes of lighting could occasionally be seen amongst the thick dark clouds, and the fierce winds swept the kite up higher and higher.

An Lin kept pumping the line and letting the kite soar up higher.

At this moment, a feeling of pride welled up in his chest.

Long ago, there was Franklin who used a kite to capture electricity; today, there is An Lin who is using a kite to attract a lightning strike!

That's right, An Lin planned to get struck by lightning!

He already had two cultivation techniques; the First Stage Earth Lotus Supreme Skill and Divine Might. As long as he learned one more cultivation technique, he would be able to rank up to the Tenth Stage Dao Body!

Stage One Thunder Essence Cultivation Method—Condition: Be struck by a natural bolt of lightning which has been formed by the Heaven and Earth.

Tenth Stage Dao Body—Condition: Master three different system-provided cultivation techniques.

As long as he was struck by a bolt of lightning, he would be able to complete both these missions at once!

Kill two birds with one stone, why not?

There was just one problem. That was, would he be able to survive being struck by a bolt of lightning?

An Lin's friends were in the dark about this as they looked on in terror at his actions.

If it wasn't for An Lin requesting them to prepare a healing spell formation, they would have thought that he had gone mad.

No, even so, they still thought An Lin was mad!

If Franklin saw this sight, he would also think that An Lin was mad!

This wasn't making a sacrifice for science, this was seeking death!

The kite was made out of a special type of metal. The line was also metallic, and one end of it was wrapped around An Lin's hand.

As long as the kite was struck by lightning, the electricity would travel down the line and into his body.

He raised his head toward the sky. Up amongst the clouds, he could see a terrifying energy gather. The sight of this was enough to make him tremble in fear.

His feelings at this moment were indescribable.

He didn't know when he would be struck by lightning, nor did he know what would happen to him after he was struck by lightning. He didn't know whether he was going to survive or die either.

This type of feeling could only be described as… f*cking thrilling!

The kite drifted higher and higher, and it drew closer and closer to the clouds.

The deep boom of thunder roared in the clouds, and An Lin's heart started to beat faster and faster.

It's coming… it's coming… it's really coming…

His hands were trembling slightly. Even though he had the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill which strengthened his body far beyond the level of ordinary cultivators, this was lighting they were talking about! Hundreds of millions of volts! Are you scared?

Even though this energy wouldn't all strike An Lin, it was still terrifying, okay?!

Just as An Lin was feeling extremely nervous, there was a flash of white in the sky.

Just as he was about to check out what it was, a devastating energy surged through his body. He was instantly overcome by an intense feeling of pain and numbness.

Xu Xiaolan and the others only saw a flash of light before An Lin was charred black by the bolt of lightning. The kite also started to fall down slowly…

Boom!

Only now did the deep rumble of thunder travel into their ears.

"Ding Dong. Stage One Thunder Essence Cultivation Method has been mastered, Lightning Manipulation Technique has also been awoken…

"Ding Dong. Three different categories of system-provided cultivation techniques have been mastered, beginning to rank up…"

An Lin's body was charcoal black, and his brain felt like mush.

As he opened his mouth to speak, wisps of smoke drifted out. "Done!"

After saying this, his eyes rolled into his head and he plonked to the floor, unconscious.

"An Lin!"

An Lin's friends cried out in surprise and they dashed to his side. Then, one after another, they continuously cast healing spells on him…

…

Sometime later, An Lin finally started to slowly regain his consciousness.

What greeted him was a big, fat, nose-picking face which was staring at him from close proximity.

"Holy f*ck! Who are you?!"

An Lin sat up in fright.

"Heh. Daoist An, I'm 'The Savior' from the 'protect earth' group chat!" the fatty chuckled as he straightened his belly.

Hearing this, An Lin was dumbfounded.

Holy f*ck! This guy is The Savior?

In his imagination, a badass capable of stealing technology from America should look something like Schwarzenegger. Why was it this fatty in front of him?!

As if reading An Lin's mind, the fatty threw a few impressive punches. "Don't underestimate me, I'm a nimble fatty!"

An Lin: "…"

After waking up, he learned from The Savior that it had already been a day since he was struck by lightning.

Now, most of the mortal world cultivators had already arrived at the hotel and were waiting to set off to the Kunlun Mountain Ranges tomorrow.

An Lin checked over his body. Upon sensing the powerful strength contained within his body, he was absolutely delighted.

He had successfully broken through to the Tenth Stage Dao Body!

A sharp look appeared in his eyes. "Very well, it's time for me to reveal my true strength!"

Chapter 63: Crushing the Evil Spirit King

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Kunlun Mountain was the most sacred mountain in China. Its mountain ranges stretched for over two thousand kilometers, and its average height above sea level was more than five thousand meters.

It enjoyed a prominent position in the history of China and was even referred to as the 'dragon artery' by people of ancient times.

However, this was merely the understanding that ordinary people had of this mountain.

In the eyes of cultivators, the Kunlun Mountains had an even loftier standing. It was the village of gods, and it was the pulse of the world!

This was a place which had the richest and most abundant levels of vital energy, and where extremely rare treasures emerged in an endless stream.

Hermits and powerful individuals cultivated here, and high-level monsters ran amok in the mountains. Furthermore, there existed naturally formed deadly realms and countless mystic realms.

It could be said that this was a place of great danger and fortune, one which attracted innumerable cultivators.

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Tian Lingling, and Huang Shanshan arrived at the Kunlun Mountains.

Following the coordinates, they found the demonic pagoda which sat within the Kunlun Mountain Ranges.

As for the thirteen reinforcements, they had already suppressed their auras and concealed themselves.

If there weren't any unexpected circumstances, then they wouldn't need to do anything.

An Lin and the others broke through the miasma spell formation and were greeted by a large crimson-colored pagoda.

Even though it had already been suppressed by a powerful seal, they could still feel the soaring demonic presence.

Xuanyuan Cheng narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the six-leveled demonic pagoda. "I've heard that there are three Evil Spirit Emperors sealed within this pagoda, and they're to be used by Yi Xi the Enlightened of the Heavenly Court for refining a magic treasure. This pagoda is the basic form of the magic treasure. Now that I'm here and sensing its aura, I've finally come to the realization that once this magic treasure is refined, it will perhaps reach the level of a high-level spirit tool."

"Well isn't that great for Yi Xi the Enlightened. Pity on us laborers though," An Lin grumbled.

"There's still some time left until we have to strengthen the seal. Since we've already confirmed the location of the demonic pagoda, let's go and exterminate the Hundred-Eyed Spider first." Huang Shanshan held the bundle of Snow King Cobweb in her hands as she spoke.

The Hundred-Eyed Spider usually roamed around the demonic pagoda.

However, even an Evil Spirit Emperor wouldn't be able to break the seal on this demonic pagoda, let alone an Evil Spirit King.

Hearing that they were going to exterminate the Evil Spirit King, Tian Lingling immediately volunteered, "I'm the best at tracking auras, I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Seeing how enthusiastic Tian Lingling was, Huang Shanshan had no choice but to hand the Snow King Cobweb to her.

After receiving the Snow King Cobweb, Tian Lingling took a strange formation disk out of her pocket.

After being activated with vital energy, this formation disk suddenly opened its 'mouth' and chewed on the Snow King Cobweb. Afterward, the needle on top of it swiveled around for a while before finally coming to a stop in a certain direction.

"Let's go!" Tian Lingling grinned triumphantly and started walking in the direction that the formation disk pointed toward.

After crossing over a few mountain ridges, a thin layer of white mist appeared in the surroundings.

An Lin and the others sensed that the vital energy in this area was extremely rich and that this would be a great place to cultivate.

Since it was an area suitable for cultivation, it was only natural that various types of demons and beasts also liked this place.

Knowing this, they became even more alert.

The needle on the formation disk suddenly started swiveling about vigorously. This was due to the fact that the target's aura and location were unstable.

"The Hundred-Eyed Spider is nearby!" Tian Lingling yelled.

Right as she finished speaking, the Snow King Cobweb in her hands suddenly came to life and spat out a silk thread, tightly binding her petite figure.

"Ah!" Tian Lingling shrieked.

She tried to wriggle free, yet to her surprise, the spiderweb bound her tighter and tighter.

Xuanyuan Cheng was the first to react. He instantly drew his sword and rushed before Tian Lingling, performing hundreds of slashes and shredding the cobwebs binding her to pieces.

Before Tian Lingling could even breathe a sigh of relief, a hissing sound grew louder and louder.

It was evident that while they were using the Snow King Cobweb to track the Evil Spirit King, the Evil Spirit King was also able to track them through the Snow King Cobweb. Not only that, but it was also able to control it.

Xuanyuan Cheng shielded Tian Lingling behind him and went on full alert.

He was the strongest individual here, meaning that if they were to clash with the Evil Spirit King, he would have to be the one who battled.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan would be in charge of assisting him.

As for Tian Lingling and Huang Shanshan, if all went according to the plan, they would just stand to the side and cheer them on.

A humongous figure dashed out of the mist. It was a terrifying spider whose body was thirty feet tall. This was already equivalent to the height of a three-story building.

Eight sword-like legs pierced into the ground and its closely-packed eyes swiveled about endlessly. It looked both hideous and terrifying.

If someone with trypophobia saw this spider, there was a chance that they would faint immediately.

With the arrival of the spider, a fearsome aura could be felt. This was an aura which belonged to an Evil Spirit King.

The Hundred-Eyed Spider had no intention of escaping, as it sensed that the cultivators before it were not all that strong.

The flesh of cultivators was very nourishing, so why would it abandon this opportunity?

The Hundred-Eyed Spider opened its jaws and large amounts of thread shot out from its mouth.

The snowy-white spiderweb formed into a net one hundred feet in size which enveloped them and fell at a great speed. Evidently, the spider wanted to bind them first.

"Immortal spell, Flaming Phoenix Palm!"

Xu Xiaolan raised her palm and lashed out toward the spiderweb.

Boom!

A flaming palm of extreme purity burnt the net of spiderweb to ashes.

A look of surprise flashed across Huang Shanshan's face. "So powerful! This girl actually destroyed the web formed by the Evil Spirit King with a single strike!"

Seeing that this move was ineffective, the Hundred-Eyed Spider leaped toward An Lin and the others.

Although the body of this spider was gigantic, its leap was impressive nonetheless. It leaped hundreds of meters into the air, and its eight pitch-black legs were alike spears as they stabbed down toward An Lin and the others.

Xuanyuan Cheng stamped his feet and also leaped into the air. His expression didn't change as he faced the fearsome figure in the air, and his sword slashed over.

A silky-white sword projection shot out from his sword. Although this was not a damaging strike, it did, however, cause the gigantic figure of the spider to start spinning.

Then, the spider spiraled toward the ground…

Boom!

The ground was cracked open by the force of the impact.

The spider landed headfirst and its sharp legs kicked about in the air. It truly looked painful!

"Wow, that move where he borrowed power was amazing! I've never seen such an amazing sword technique, not even from Wudang Mountain's Uncle Chen!" Tian Lingling was full of praise.

"Indeed. Immortal ambassador Xuanyuan already has such a strong grasp of the Taichi method at such a young age, he's awfully talented!" There was also a hint of admiration in Huang Shanshan's voice.

An Lin was a bit speechless upon seeing the two beauties next to him give praise so effusively.

So, it turns out that they really have become bludgers who only know how to cheer.

Tian Lingling, where are your wards? Huang Shanshan, where is your high-tech gun?

Don't you guys feel the need to do something when faced with such a battle?!

An Lin sighed softly, then cast a Mountain Quaking Fist toward the fallen spider.

Boom!

Bringing with it a vast power, the golden fist smashed into the Hundred-Eyed Spider's abdomen.

The spider's lower abdomen was indefensible and was completely crushed by the fist.

"Hiss!" The spider let out a wretched cry. Its body tumbled back from the power of the fist, and green blood oozed from its jaws.

"So powerful! Immortal ambassador An Lin can actually breach the Evil Spirit King's defenses with a single punch! The power contained within this golden fist is already comparable to that which is contained in the strikes of Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators!" As Huang Shanshan praised An Lin, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"I've seen this strike before, and it's even more powerful this time! Way to go Fake Daoist Priest!" Tian Lingling cheered on from the sidelines.

An Lin grimaced. He finally came to the realization that the two of them had never planned to help right from the beginning.

Whatever, let them continue on as astonished bystanders…

An Lin shook his head and re-entered the battle, joining the ranks of those currently stringing up and beating the Evil Spirit King.

Chapter 64: Haha, You've All Been Surrounded!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the battlefield, the rumbling of magic spells and the shrieks of the Hundred-Eyed Spider could both be heard.

The Hundred-Eyed Spider regretted its decision. The people in front of it had concealed their strength!

Disregarding the abnormally strong Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage cultivator, even the two cultivators who had a rank of Tenth Stage Dao Body were almost as strong as it was. What kind of position did this place the Evil Spirit King in?

A sharp black leg slashed toward Xuanyuan Cheng. However, with a backhanded slice of his sword, Xuanyuan Cheng severed this leg.

Venom shot toward Xu Xiaolan, yet this was swatted back by her Colossal Flaming Palm.

Just as it was retreating, its rear was ripped open by a golden fist…

"Hiss…" The wretched shriek of the Evil Spirit King spread far and wide.

Amidst a jungle that was one thousand feet away, a group of demon cultivators wearing black robes were waiting in ambush.

Seeing the Evil Spirit King get trampled on, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

At the forefront of these demon cultivators, there were four Demon Kings who were emitting strong auras. They all looked at the Evil Spirit King sympathetically.

"Luckily, the Demon Emperor took this operation to capture Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators seriously enough and sent out more than half of the demon realm's forces. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to deal with these few people." The Demon King of Wickedness held a gigantic black sword in his hands as he spoke.

"In order to capture the Hundred-Eyed Spider, they must send out cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage," the Demon King of Agony holding a bloody skull chuckled cruelly. "Even if they send three Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, with the lineup that the Demon Emperor has sent out, dealing with them will not be an issue."

"Wickedness and I will deal with the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators. We can't tolerate failure in the sacrificial refining of the Blood Token," said the Demon King of Wrath who had black claws for hands.

"I'll deal with the cultivator who's using the golden fists. I'll definitely have my 'revenge'," the crimson-eyed Demon King of Wisdom said.

"We'll strike once the Evil Spirit King dies!" the Demon King of Agony said.

…

Just as the Demon Kings were eyeing their prey, An Lin's battle was already drawing to an end.

The Hundred-Eyed Spider had been driven into a corner, and its densely packed eyeballs suddenly spurted out.

"Be careful!" Xuanyuan Cheng yelled.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The eyeballs which flew toward Xuanyuan Cheng and the others suddenly blew up like bombs.

A violent energy started to emanate outwards, and An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were pushed back by the shockwaves of the explosion.

The Hundred-Eyed Spider's desperate attack finally created a slim chance of survival for itself, and it immediately started to flee into the distance.

Unfortunately for it though, it neglected the fact that Xuanyuan Cheng was still there.

Rather than being blown back by the explosions, Xuanyuan Cheng kept pushing forward, a white light twisting and warping explosive energy away from himself.

Possessing a vast and awe-inspiring might, the sword in his hand cut down toward the weak point left exposed by the Hundred-Eyed Spider.

The bone-chilling sword projection stretched one hundred feet and instantly sliced the Hundred-Eyed Spider into two.

"Such impressive swordsmanship! The might of this strike is even above that of Taibai Sword Sect's Green River Sword Immortal!" Huang Shanshan exclaimed in amazement.

"Even the sect leader of the Taibai Sword Sect can't match the sword intent contained within this strike!" Tian Lingling exclaimed in astonishment.

Compared to the shocked duo who were doing absolutely nothing, Xuanyuan Cheng and the others didn't relax a single bit. Instead, they gathered together quickly after sensing numerous strong auras inching closer and closer toward them.

Immediately afterward, four Demon Kings possessing powerful auras rode over on a black mist and surrounded the five of them.

On the ground, over twenty black-robed demons also charged out, surrounding An Lin and the others. Sensing their auras, it appeared that they were all cultivators of the Dao Body Stage.

"Kekeke… you've all been surrounded!" the Demon King of Agony chortled.

"Foolish humans… don't resist and obediently hand over your hearts!" the Demon King of Wickedness said aggressively.

"If you obediently let us capture you, then I, the Demon King of Wrath, will give you a swift death!" the Demon King of Wrath yelled.

An Lin: "…"

An Lin felt mixed emotions as he heard this.

What's with these ridiculous threats…

What bloody day and age are we in? As Demon Kings, how can you not feel embarrassed when spouting such corny, old lines?!

The Demon King of Wisdom looked at the two people below him. "Bahahaha, the two young cultivators down there, do you still remember me?" he said proudly.

An Lin and Tian Lingling looked up and saw the crimson-eyed Demon King of Wisdom.

Hah, it's an old acquaintance!

"I said before that the next time we meet, I'd make you go through living hell," the Demon King of Wisdom chuckled. "You've all been fooled by my flawless acting. You didn't expect this to be a trap, did you? Ahahahaha…"

An Lin: "…"

Tian Lingling: "…"

To be honest, An Lin didn't have the heart to damage the Demon King's self-esteem.

Flawless acting?

Even Li Yifeng, who had won the Hundred Flowers Award, was better at acting than him!

With his acting, the most he could get was a Golden Raspberry Award.

Just when it looked like the Demon Kings had the upper hand, several strong auras suddenly approached them.

An Lin and the others looked calm and collected, but the Demon Kings started to feel worried.

"Wickedness, did the Demon Emperor send other Demon Kings here?" the Demon King of Wrath questioned in surprise.

"That's impossible! The other two Demon Kings have separate missions. It can't be them, the numbers don't match either!" A grave expression appeared on the Demon King of Wickedness' face.

"Human cultivators!" the Demon King of Agony cried in alarm as he saw the cultivators who had rushed over.

The Savior, Green River Sword Immortal, and Cloud Exploring Daoist let loose their powerful auras as they flew over on their swords.

On the ground, ten cultivators possessing a rank of the Tenth Stage Dao Body also rushed over and quickly surrounded the twenty or so demon cultivators.

"Could it be that our plan was exposed?"

The Demon King of Wisdom couldn't comprehend the sudden change of events, and he was momentarily stunned.

"Three cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage, one cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage, and more than a dozen cultivators with the Tenth Stage Dao Body… This is a f*cking lineup sent to deal with a mere Evil Spirit King?!" The Demon King of Wrath finally lost his temper and roared aloud.

"I can't believe there are so many Demon Kings. This trip was indeed worth it." Clouds and mist swirled around Cloud Exploring Daoist as he spoke.

"Foolish Demon Kings! You've all been surrounded. Surrender quickly and I'll let you all die a swift death!" The Savior chortled.

The Demon Kings were furious upon hearing this.

This bastard actually dared to steal their lines!

Meanwhile, An Lin almost passed out in shock. How come this fatso's lines are also this ridiculous?

To the demons, this sudden change in situation made them feel a little uneasy.

Originally, they had been the ones surrounding An Lin and the others. Now, the situation was reversed, and they were the ones being surrounded.

"Wickedness, are we still going to fight?" the Demon King of Agony asked.

Although they were at a disadvantage now, the difference in their strength wasn't all that significant.

If they went all out, there was still a chance that they could complete their mission.

"We'll fight! We must complete the mission given to us by the Demon Emperor at all costs!

"If we retreat now, we definitely won't be able to ambush them again.

"I'm just curious as to how our plan was exposed…"

As he said this, the Demon King of Wickedness' face darkened.

Could it be… that there was a traitor among their group?
