34: Wouldn’t this catch you as a black carp?

However, as luck would have it, Xu Xi was precisely someone proficient in alchemy.

The third-tier alchemy skill provided by the system was definitely sufficient for the current stage.

This was because Xu Xi had already learned about the alchemy standards of the people in this world.

A third-grade alchemist was considered exceptionally outstanding among the younger generation.

And for a young girl like Li Ning霜, no matter how high her alchemy grade, she would only be a third-grade alchemist.

A fourth-grade alchemist would require a period of accumulation, and their age would not be too young.

Therefore, Xu Xi concluded that after the movement technique competition, Li Ning霜 would be unconvinced and would then propose an alchemy competition to humiliate him, her opponent.

At that time, he would simply show off his skills, wouldn't that immediately put her in her place?

Tonight, Xu Xi might even have an earth-shattering battle with her.

Afterward, he could have a small gathering with Ye Xueqing and Zhao Yaqian.

Who wouldn't be thrilled living a life like this?

With a clear mind, Xu Xi was very adept at manipulating people with this approach.

And Li Ning霜 just happened to have such a personality.

In no time, the two sped all the way to Wangshi Dam.

Xu Xi was naturally the first to arrive at Wangshi Dam.

Upon arrival, Xu Xi stood there, unblushing and calm, waiting for Li Ning霜.

"You ran quite fast. You were deliberately toying with Ning Shuang just now, weren't you? Do you have other plans?"

Not long after Xu Xi stopped, Tang Wan had been waiting there for a long time.

As a Ru Xuan expert, even if Xu Xi's speed was fast, he couldn't compare to her.

After seeing Xu Xi, Tang Wan looked at him with a strange smile, which made Xu Xi feel a little uncomfortable.

How did he feel like he was being targeted by her?

At this moment, Xu Xi was like prey, and Tang Wan was like a hunter.

"However, a high-level hunter often appears in the form of prey, and you will also be brought under my control."

Although it felt uncomfortable to be treated as prey like this.

But Xu Xi was very confident in himself.

Tang Wan's weakness was also very obvious, and Xu Xi was fully confident in taking her down.

Now Tang Wan's favorability had already reached 50 points.

There were only 50 points left to reach 100, wouldn't that be easily added?

"Tonight, a double kill might be a good choice..."

Touching his chin, Xu Xi carefully considered the feasibility of this idea and felt that there was a very high chance of success.

"Yosh!"

"Then it's time to plan it out properly. Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of an opportunity!"

A mischievous smile appeared on Xu Xi's face. The corners of his mouth, which even an AK couldn't suppress, were very hard to hide, immediately drawing Tang Wan's attention to this abnormality.

Although she was puzzled, Tang Wan didn't say anything, because she was still waiting for Xu Xi to answer her previous question.

"Naturally, I have some other plans."

"Don't you people from Zhongzhou look down on disciples from other continents?"

"Since we're going to compete, let's compete thoroughly."

"Completely crushing you all, I suppose that arrogant princess won't have anything to say later, right?"

His words were full of the implication of feigning weakness and playing the victim.

Since he was already preparing for a double kill, Xu Xi would not miss any opportunity to increase her favorability.

"Ding, Tang Wan's favorability +10!"

The effect was immediate. Sure enough, Xu Xi's move was not wrong.

Oh no, he really learned it!

"Complete crushing?"

"Since you know about the Purple Cloud Sect in Zhongzhou, you must also know that the Purple Cloud Sect is famous for its alchemy in Zhongzhou."

"So, what you mean is... you also know alchemy?"

Xu Xi's words reached Tang Wan's ears, which made her even more curious.

Xu Xi was clearly very confident, and this confidence left Tang Wan puzzled.

No matter how she looked at it, the Xuanjian Sect didn't seem like a sect that could produce alchemy geniuses.

Always known for its swordsmanship in Youzhou, the Xuanjian Sect's swordsmanship was not considered low even across the entire Profound Origin Continent.

But alchemy... let's not joke. Any disciple from a sect famous for alchemy would be stronger than an alchemy disciple from the Xuanjian Sect.

"I only know a little, but it's no problem dealing with that self-righteous and arrogant princess."

"What, could it be that Elder Tang believes that sects like ours are inferior and unworthy of alchemy?"

Another insidious scheme to attack the heart. Xu Xi's words were truly spot-on. Anyone who heard them would have to call him a master of language.

"This..."

"Of course not, it's good that you have confidence."

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. After hearing Xu Xi's words, Tang Wan couldn't help but sigh that this young man in front of her was truly eloquent.

But deep down, she also found it hard to comment.

"Different professions are like mountains apart. I can only say... I wish you success."

Classic sayings flashed through her mind, and Tang Wan said no more.

Standing at the city gate, her composed demeanor was enough to captivate people.

Passersby all turned their heads to look, some with greedy eyes, wanting to possess her, others with an appreciative attitude, perfectly showcasing the psychological profiles of various people.

"You scoundrel, you cheated by starting early! This doesn't count, I absolutely won't admit defeat!"

After another short while, Li Ning霜 finally caught up with Xu Xi.

Upon arriving at the Wangshi Dam city gate, she immediately refused to acknowledge the result, and this reaction was precisely within Xu Xi's expectations.

"What I want is for you to be unconvinced, otherwise, how can I reel you in like a big fish?"

With a pout, Li Ning霜 angrily questioned Xu Xi.

Her puffed-up appearance really did resemble being called a big fish, which further aligned with Xu Xi's expectations.

"Unconvinced?"

"I knew you'd be unconvinced!"

"I foolishly thought that you so-called geniuses from Zhongzhou would have a tiny bit more credibility."

"Now it seems, you're nothing special. Faced with repeated failures, are you still making excuses for yourself?"

"Heh heh, women..."

With a contemptuous smile, knowing her personality, Xu Xi wouldn't indulge her.

A set of words, rehearsed many times in his mind, came out, coupled with Xu Xi's one part indifference, two parts disdain, three parts coldness, and four parts sarcasm on his face, it simply maximized the taunt.

"Ding! Li Ning霜's favorability +20."

Sure enough, she was hooked as soon as she was provoked.

See? 20 favorability points were added just like that. Xu Xi could even already see himself pinning her down on the bed.

"You..."

"I... I'm not the kind of person who never admits defeat. If I lose, I'll admit it!"

"However, this time you broke the rules first. You clearly started early, hmph!"

She tossed her head, directly pretending not to understand what Xu Xi was saying. Anyway, Li Ning霜 was convinced that Xu Xi had broken the rules, and it wasn't her own fault, completely refusing to acknowledge the situation.
