Chapter 4 - The Genius Girl
Chapter 4: The Genius Girl
Arriving at the Task Hall, there weren’t many people here.
After casually accepting a task to slay a demon beast, Meng Changqing left.
Although the demon beast was fierce, with his current strength, dealing with a mere first-level high-tier demon beast was still easy.
He left the outer gate territory, rushing towards the nearby forest without delay.
There was no delay along the way.
If it weren’t for this task, he would have wanted to continue cultivating until he reached the peak realm.
So he didn’t want to waste too much time on tasks.
The sooner he left, the sooner he returned.
Half a day later.
Boom!
A huge body fell to the ground with a loud crash, with ten deep sword marks on its body, and crimson blood gushing out.
Soon, the ground was dyed red.
This was a Purple Patterned Crystal Bear.
Among first-level demon beasts, it was considered quite strong.
Both its strength and defense were high!
It was generally unbeatable for martial artists of the same level.
“The information is wrong, this is clearly a first-level peak demon beast!”
Meng Changqing wiped away the blood from the sword and shook his head.
Fortunately, his strength had greatly improved.
Otherwise, he would have suffered a great loss today!
He might have even lost his life here.
“No wonder it’s the complete level of the Nine Shadow Sword Technique, even the defense of the Purple Patterned Crystal Bear was effortlessly broken.”
Looking at the sword marks on the Purple Patterned Crystal Bear, Meng Changqing nodded in satisfaction.
There’s also the “Bronze Armor Art”.
Meng Changqing slightly lowered his head.
Looking at his right shoulder, where the clothes were torn, revealing strong muscles.
During the battle, he was grazed by the Purple Patterned Crystal Bear.
Unfortunately, his “Bronze Armor Art” had already advanced to the fifth level.
Even a demon beast like the Purple Patterned Crystal Bear couldn’t cause any harm to his flesh!
“I’m still lacking in speed.” Meng Changqing was someone who liked introspection.
During the battle, he analyzed the situation.
“After returning, I should take the opportunity to learn a martial art technique focusing on body movements.”
Meng Changqing thought to himself, “No, I should befriend a martial artist specializing in body movements!”
With the system in place, making friends was the correct way to practice!
After dismembering the Purple Patterned Crystal Bear and taking a few important parts, Meng Changqing turned and left.
The task was completed.
Now he could focus on cultivating!
“Hmm?”
Just as he had traveled tens of meters.
Meng Changqing suddenly stopped.
Because he clearly sensed vibrations coming from under his feet, and they were getting stronger, as if many heavy objects were running.
In this forest, it could only be demon beasts. “It seems to be coming in my direction.”
Meng Changqing squinted.
Then he pointed his toes, leaped into the air, and landed on a tall ancient tree.
The demon beasts were unusually agitated.
Something must have happened.
Soon, rolling dust, like a yellow dragon, appeared around the corner of a nearby mountain.
It turned out to be a group of demon wolves!
Iron Bone Demon Wolves!
Also a first-level demon beast known for its defense!
Roar!
A huge gray demon wolf charged at the forefront. Its aura was powerful, equivalent to a first-level pinnacle demon beast. It was comparable to a human peak Vein Tempering Realm.
Its eyes were blood-red, full of hatred.
Staring fiercely at the figure running ahead, it was a girl in silver clothes.
With rosy lips and white teeth, she had a beautiful face.
Fair skin, with azure hair fluttering.
She tightly held a stalk of herbs in her hand.
There was excitement and fear on her face. Her cultivation was not bad.
Vein Tempering Realm, Sixth Level.
Judging from her attire, she, like Meng Changqing, was also an outer disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect!
“So many demon wolves.”
Meng Changqing frowned slightly, among them were even stronger ones.
Even he, being amidst them, might find it slightly challenging.
But it would only be a challenge, not something insurmountable.
“Never mind, meeting is fate. Within my abilities, I should help.”
Meng Changqing prepared to take action.
Because Meng Changqing had always been using his probing eyes.
As the girl approached, information about her also surfaced.
Basic Information:
【Name: Bai Suxi】
【Race: Human】
【Cultivation: Vein Tempering Realm, Sixth Level】
Attribute Information:
【Root Bone: Second Grade】
【Understanding: Profound-tier】
【Martial Arts: “Lonely Kill Thirteen Swords” (Mastery), “Flying Spirit Soft Body Steps” (Partial Mastery)】
【Talent: Skillful Hands】
【…】
Seeing this, Meng Changqing’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of amazement appeared on his face.
What a luxurious attribute panel!
She could be called a genius!
No, even among geniuses, she was extraordinary!
“How could there be such disciples in the outer sect?” Meng Changqing was somewhat puzzled.
Logically, such a genius should be directly sent to the inner sect for cultivation.
He shook his head slightly.
Meng Changqing didn’t dwell on it.
His gaze gradually became fiery.
Second-grade root bone!
It was two grades higher than his current fourth grade!
It was an extremely rare talent in the world!
He could imagine how fast his cultivation speed would be!
If only he could have a second-grade root bone too!
In the future, his cultivation would be as fast as flying!
He slowly drew the long sword from his waist.
A faint smile appeared on Meng Changqing’s lips.
My dear stranger, I’ve decided to save you!
At this moment, no one else’s words matter!
Roar!
The leading wolf suddenly accelerated with a roar.
Its sharp claws almost grabbed the girl’s back, but the girl’s footwork was excellent.
Like soft clouds drifting, unpredictable, she dodged in an instant.
However, the girl’s complexion was slightly pale.
Clearly, she was still frightened.
She was only at the sixth level of the Vein Tempering Realm, and facing a beast of this level, she was no match, relying only on her footwork to evade and survive.
But the speed of this wolf was also extraordinary.
At this rate, she was afraid she would be caught up to.
“Master, what should I do?” the girl asked in her heart.
“Keep running for now. Master doesn’t have much strength left, and can only be used at critical moments, otherwise, I’ll have to sleep again.”
The voice from the pale finger of the girl’s fair hand sounded old.
However, the next second, the wolf behind her accelerated again, and the smell of blood in its mouth could already be clearly smelled.
The girl’s complexion changed slightly.
She gritted her teeth and turned around, drawing her sword, because there was no way to escape anymore!
Clang!
The sword clashed with the wolf’s claws.
Sparks burst out densely.
The girl was suddenly hit hard, flying backward, blood pouring from her mouth.
Obviously, she was seriously injured.
But the wolf didn’t hold back.
It came again, ready to kill the girl!
Seeing this, the girl’s pupils shrank slightly, and her whole body felt cold.
“Never mind, remember to find Soul Power herbs for Master.”
The voice from the ring sounded somewhat helpless.
However, at that moment, a voice rang out.
“Sister, don’t panic.”
Then the girl felt herself entering a warm embrace, a smell she had never experienced before, a pleasant smell.
She instinctively raised her head.
But what she saw was a handsome face.
Eyes like stars, eyebrows like swords.
Like the white-clad young men in stories.
The ring that had been restless before suddenly quieted down.
Roar!
Sensing the strength of the newcomer, the leading wolf suddenly stopped its footsteps, while dozens of other demon wolves surrounded them.
Grinning and growling low, their eyes filled with killing intent.
