41: Chapter 41 Pei Yuhan Arrives, Lin Kuang is Blessed
Now that Mei Hua's favorability had far surpassed Yu Xiaotang's, if it weren't for his sense of shame, Lin Kuang would have already been embracing them both.
"Alright, how should these crystals be placed?" Liu Yu had already discovered the Formation Lin Kuang mentioned.
"Wait! Roman numerals?" Lin Kuang looked shocked; the grooves on this Formation were marked with Roman numerals underneath.
"What? Can you understand these otherworldly markings?" Mei Hua and the others crowded around, with Mei Hua secretly rubbing against Lin Kuang.
Lin Kuang felt a soft sensation against his back, which was much more intense than what he felt from Yu Xiaotang.
It was true that women in their thirties were like wolves and tigers.
That's right! The author was from the same country as him, so the world they wrote would be similar. It was normal for them to think Roman numerals used as runes and hints were otherworldly script.
Lin Kuang placed the corresponding crystals in order, and the platform slowly descended.
"You guys choose first, I'll take the rest!" Li Shuang wasn't stupid and immediately stated his position.
The jade boxes were sealed, and Lin Kuang didn't know what was inside, so he just divided them: one for himself, three for the Miaoyu Sect, and one for Li Shuang.
Li Shuang took the jade box and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I have a shocking secret to tell you. Don't be in a hurry to leave in a moment."
A secret? Information so soon? Lin Kuang smiled slightly.
After they took the jade boxes, the other Cultivators exploring the surroundings also flew back to the central chessboard.
"Damn it! It's all forest, there's nothing!"
"The Miaoyu Sect really has good luck!"
"What are you looking at? Do you want to rob a whole Sect by yourself?"
Hearing the complaints of the other Cultivators, Lin Kuang judged that there was nothing left and was preparing to leave.
[Ding! Task Triggered: Wait for Pei Yuhan to arrive and kill The Patriarch]
[Task Reward: Liujia City]
PS: It will take three hours for Pei Yuhan to arrive outside the Secret Realm.
"Sister, I have something to do in the Secret Realm for a while. You guys go ahead!" After seeing the task, Lin Kuang knew The Patriarch must be waiting for him outside. Going out now would undoubtedly be throwing his life away, so he might as well hide inside for a while longer.
Seeing that Lin Kuang planned to stay longer, Yu Xiaotang proactively asked to stay behind. She was afraid Lin Yaoyao would seduce Lin Kuang.
Mei Hua started being direct.
"Xiao Tang, you must stay safe! Besides improving yourselves, you should also pay attention to cultivating your feelings!" Mei Hua signaled to Yu Xiaotang with her eyes.
Yu Xiaotang glanced at Lin Kuang guiltily and said with a blush, "Sis... sister, we don't have that kind of rela... relationship yet."
"I know you haven't had a relationship yet, so why aren't you hurrying up? If you don't work harder, I'll go for it myself. Our future happiness depends on you."
"Um... ah?" Yu Xiaotang's jaw almost dropped. She hurriedly pulled her sister aside and whispered, "Sister Meihua, weren't you telling me to keep an eye on Lin Kuang earlier?"
"Why has your attitude completely flipped now?"
Mei Hua looked at Lin Kuang and said gently, "I've already tested him for you. Not only is his strength top-tier, but his endurance is also first-rate, and he's especially good at taking care of emotions!"
"Huh? Tested? Endurance? When? How come I didn't know?" Yu Xiaotang was shocked, her head turning back and forth between Mei Hua and Lin Kuang.
"Alright! These are the supplies and money I've prepared for you!" Mei Hua stuffed her jade box into Yu Xiaotang's hands.
"These are the supplies and money for you!" Mei Hua also prepared a portion for Lin Kuang.
"Eh? Sister Meihua, why did you prepare a portion for Lin Kuang too?" Yu Xiaotang certainly didn't care about that bit of money, but she felt that the relationship between Sister Meihua and Lin Kuang was a bit off.
"Oh, we'll all be family in the future, don't be so calculative!"
"Huh? What?" Mei Hua's statements continued to shock Yu Xiaotang.
In the end, Mei Hua said a few vague words to Yu Xiaotang and led the Miaoyu Sect Disciples out of the Secret Realm.
Seeing Sister Meihua leave, Yu Xiaotang also asked Lin Kuang about his relationship with her.
However, Lin Kuang just gave a perfunctory response.
"Fellow Daoist, you didn't stay behind because of me, did you?" Li Shuang had been waiting for Lin Kuang not far away.
"Yes. You've been following me, Fellow Daoist. Is there something you want to tell me?" Lin Kuang smiled slightly and looked at him calmly.
"As expected of a Sword Sect Disciple, your courage is truly extraordinary!" Li Shuang clapped his hands and walked over slowly.
"Aren't you afraid I'll reveal that matter?" Li Shuang took out a Spirit Stone and rubbed it back and forth.
"Fellow Daoist, we are much the same. We both like to flirt around. Do you think I'm afraid?" Lin Kuang knew that to defeat a rogue, one had to be even more of a rogue.
"Oh, I see." Li Shuang also knew that if he wanted to threaten Lin Kuang, he had to wait until Yu Xiaotang was not present.
"Liujun City will hold a sparring competition in a few days. I hope to see Brother Lin stand out from the crowd then!" Li Shuang patted Lin Kuang's shoulder and left with Lin Yaoyao.
A sparring competition?
[Ding—Task Triggered: Ever-Victorious—Participate in the Liuyun City sparring competition and win 100 consecutive matches]
[Task Reward: Cultivation Boost Potion*1, Intermediate Spirit Power Pill Formula, Mysterious Seed]
Cultivation Boost Potion—Can increase cultivation conversion by 150% for 5 days.
Mysterious Seed—Carrying it increases immunity to grass-type skills by 20%.
[Additional Task: Defeat Du Lin in the competition. All rewards will be upgraded to Special Grade rewards]
[Task Reward: The above task rewards are upgraded to Special Grade, doubling the effects]
Hahaha! You System!
Just as a competition was mentioned, an Ever-Victorious task popped up.
But who is this Du Lin? He seems pretty impressive for the rewards to multiply like that!
But it works out perfectly!
The fastest way to increase cultivation is through combat! Fighting against Cultivators is much more satisfying than fighting Spirit Beasts.
However, Lin Kuang didn't know anything about this Du Lin, so he should go out and investigate first.
Lin Kuang checked the time; it was about time for Pei Yuhan to arrive. He should head out as well.
Outside the Secret Realm, The Patriarch was watching motionlessly.
"Did that guy sneak out with the Miaoyu Sect people?" Liu Yi asked from the side.
"Impossible! I scanned the Miaoyu Sect with my Divine Sense as soon as they came out! He wasn't there! He must still be hiding inside!" The Patriarch said calmly, resting his chin on his hand.
"He's coming!" a member of the Liu Family shouted.
Yu Xiaotang walked out first, with Lin Kuang following closely behind.
As soon as Lin Kuang stepped out, countless bolts of lightning struck from all directions.
Just as they were about to hit Lin Kuang, he said calmly, "Yuhan, if you don't act now, you won't see me again!"
In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and the sky turned into shades of black and white.
"This pressure! No wonder he was so fearless!" The Patriarch was crushed by the powerful pressure, making it hard for him to breathe.
"My Sword Sect is not a Sect that can be slaughtered at will!" Fairy Pei said faintly. Then, the massive pressure crushed The Patriarch and the others into meat paste.
A rain of blood fell from the sky, drenching Lin Kuang and the others.
"Uh... this..." Yu Xiaotang was so terrified by this scene that she slumped to the ground.
Blegh—
"Is this absolute strength? When will I be that strong?" Yu Xiaotang sighed as she watched her vomit mingle with the blood.
