Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 18 Everyone Step Aside, I'm About to Show Off!
Wang Qi grinned brilliantly, "I just leveled up, and he comes over to let me find the feeling after upgrading! What kind of spirit this is!"
"This is the spirit of selflessness... Did you think I would say that! Knowing he's a troublemaker but still approaching him, do you have the transformation of a dung beetle?"
"No, no, no! I was thinking, if he gets a sneaky loss, surely the higher-ups at the Immortal Institute would turn a blind eye, right?"
Just then, the two opposing individuals made new movements.
Du Bin suddenly thrust his longsword forward. Mao Zimiao's already taut nerves snapped immediately, and she pounced towards Du Bin.
"Damn!" A thought flashed through Wang Qi's mind, and he dashed forward with his movement technique.
The disciple who had just been speaking with Wang Qi felt darkness flash before his eyes. His classmate beside him disappeared. Then, in the center of the gathering crowd, where the half-demon and the human were standing off, a bewildering scene unfolded.
Mao Zimiao, who had been impressive just a moment ago, was now taking several steps back while covering her ears, her pretty face flushing red. This flush of red was not due to anger, but rather seemed more like embarrassment and indignation. Du Bin meanwhile, stood there dumbfounded, his sword suddenly slipped from his grasp and flew over the heads of the crowd, embedding itself in a table.
"What's going on?" The onlookers started whispering among themselves. A few students with higher cultivation seemed to have caught glimpses of the incident, and people quickly put together a rough replay of what happened.
Wang Qi, maintaining his brilliant smile, paid no attention to the surrounding chatter. He lifted two fingers in greeting to Mao Zimiao and called out, "Hey!"
If the events that had just unfolded were played back in slow motion, they would look something like this.
After Zhen Chan analyzed Du Bin's motives and objectives, Wang Qi had a good guess as to what Du Bin was thinking. In fact, Du Bin's sword momentum was purely to scare Mao Zimiao. In Wang Qi's view, Du Bin's sword couldn't possibly hit Mao Zimiao. But if Mao Zimiao couldn't resist reacting and attacked Du Bin, she would be the one who struck first.
Attacking a classmate at the Immortal Institute would result in points being deducted for conduct. Even if the Immortal Institute higher-ups knew Du Bin was provoking her, Mao Zimiao would likely still be labeled as "not sufficiently steady in temperament." Furthermore, if someone was injured, she, as a half-demon, might even be ostracized by the human students. This kind of implicit targeting would also be detrimental to her studies.
As for why Du Bin specifically targeted Mao Zimiao, Wang Qi wasn't interested in pondering deeply, presuming it was nothing more than extremist beliefs like "half-demons are animals."
Having analyzed Du Bin's thinking, Wang Qi's disdain for such scions of noble families reached new heights. He despised these types who couldn't succeed on their own and dragged others down with them in his previous life.
Therefore, the moment Mao Zimiao lunged forward, Wang Qi had charged out.
At this point, as long as he intervened and let Du Bin suffer a setback, not only would he avoid being penalized, he might even be looked upon favorably for teaching this troublemaker a lesson!
Exactly! It was definitely not for that clumsy cat.
As for being deducted conduct points? Ridiculous, would a top student like him fear losing points? It was worth it, using a few conduct points in exchange for the power to thrash this coward!
Fortunately, Wang Qi had just unified various Cultivation Techniques the night before; otherwise, he might not have even had the ability to get involved in this dispute.
Wang Qi activated the Heavenly Entropy Technique. A warm sensation enveloped his body. In an instant, Wang Qi's speed surpassed the visual limit of the Nourishing Life students.
The true effect of the Heavenly Entropy Technique was to bring warmth. Heating up means the acceleration of molecular motion within an object. The accompanying Law Gate of the Heavenly Entropy Technique could direct this internal molecular motion into one direction, converting it into kinetic energy.
As he lunged forward, Wang Qi revved the power of the Elephant Phase Wave Skill to its utmost. Numerous Phase Waves turned into Wave Blades, concentrating on his shoulder. As he broke into the center of the feline-canine battle, his shoulder crashed heavily against Du Bin's long sword.
A millennium ago, in the chaos of the nine demons. The eighth Demon King to be slain by the Modern Cultivators was an ancient Golden Sword. After being tainted with blood and Evil Qi, it gained Spirit Wisdom and began Cultivation. This fierce beast naturally emitted Sword Qi that pierced the skies, and with every movement, it could split mountains and part seas. However, such a powerful demon was defeated by the Guiyi Alliance's Carefree De Bui of the Wanfa, who wielded the Elephant Phase Wave Skill with merely his bare palms to shatter the beast completely!
Wang Qi, though not the Nourishing Life Master that his fellow De Bui was, nonetheless had a sword far superior to that of the Golden Sword Demon King's in Du Bin's hands. Du Bin's blade hadn't even been able to penetrate the Phase Wave. On the contrary, the slashing of the Phase Wave Blade had already heavily damaged Du Bin's Spirit Sword!
At this time, Wang Qi, with all the time in the world, stretched out his hand and placed it on Mao Zimiao's ear, rubbing it vigorously.
For a Cat Demon, the ears were extremely sensitive; Mao Zimiao wouldn't even let others touch them usually, how could she endure such stimulation? She instinctively jumped back.
Hearing Wang Qi's voice, Mao Zimiao was utterly embarrassed and annoyed, "What the hell is 'Yo'? What are you suddenly jumping out for, meow!"
Wang Qi's expression was very "sincere", "Just saying hello! Last night, I had a major realization and couldn't resist sharing it with an acquaintance when I saw her here, Azimiao."
"That also depends on the situation, meow!"
As if he hadn't seen Du Bin, Wang Qi continued to jest and tease Mao Zimiao. This dismissive attitude greatly infuriated Du Bin. He asked darkly, "Brother Wang, are you really going to stand up for these two beasts?"
Wang Qi acted as if he had only just noticed Du Bin's presence, turning to address him with a warmth as if greeting a long-lost brother, "Oh! Little Du, you're here too!"
Upon hearing Wang Qi's words, Mao Zimiao's complexion sank.
They say one doesn't slap a smiling face. Seeing Wang Qi's polite demeanor, Du Bin also felt awkward to make a scene. He asked, "Brother Wang, are you truly unaware of the situation?"
Wang Qi shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent.
"I have a private feud to settle with this Half-demon..."
"Not my business." Not waiting for the other to finish, Wang Qi stepped aside, "I'm the kind of person who loves to watch the drama."
Du Bin glanced at Wang Qi with suspicion, wondering why he had backed down so quickly. Moreover, whether intentionally or not, Wang Qi had positioned himself between Du Bin and his own sword.
However, since this wouldn't stop him from recalling his partially-refined Flying Sword, Du Bin pondered for a moment, decided not to concern himself with Wang Qi, and reached out to summon his sword, "Sword, come."
Meanwhile, Mao Zimiao's expression looked like she was about to cry.
This darkened expression, nice!
Darkened cuteness, nice!
With the mood to tease a cat, Wang Qi watched Mao Zimiao, somewhat looking forward to her upcoming expression.
At the same time, he didn't forget to say, "Little Du, having trouble recalling your Flying Sword?"
Du Bin reached towards the sword, his face now somewhat embarrassed.
He discovered that controlling the Flying Sword was unexpectedly difficult like never before.
What no one knew was that the impact from Wang Qi a moment ago had cut open the Magic Seal inside the Flying Sword. With the Flying Sword being damaged, Du Bin's control over it naturally dropped to a level where he couldn't command it freely.
