Chapter 162: Dantai Luo Xue vs Ao Yu? (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Misty Mountain, Wayless Sect.
Within the living quarters of the disciples.
Dantai Luo Xue stood upon an open field.
Dressed in green robes, her long black hair was tied with a red ribbon, and the noble arrogance in her brow was considerably lessened, replaced by serenity.
However, at this moment, in Dantai Luo Xue's dark-golden pupils, threads of surprise were interwoven.
Because in front of her,
Zhang Han was riding a Canglong, meandering ahead.
Using a dragon as a mount,
How could Dantai Luo Xue not feel shocked?
What stunned Dantai Luo Xue the most was the strange sound emitted by the Canglong's mouth.
Wu hu?
She remembered the dragon's roar from the books to be like a mix of a cow and tiger, manifesting a domineering cry, right?
Why did this Canglong sound so peculiar?
Could it be a special breed of dragon?
"Junior Sister has seen Second Senior Brother,"
Although Dantai Luo Xue felt surprised, she didn't show it too much.
After seeing Zhang Han, she performed a respectful gesture.
"Hmm, Junior Sister, I just came back today. How has your cultivation been recently?"
Zhang Han jumped down from the head of the Canglong and landed on the ground, speaking to Dantai Luo Xue in a very refined manner.
Seeing this, Ao Yu hurriedly turned and transformed into a human form, standing behind Zhang Han.
He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
This last time, he had finally completed his task.
On the other side, Dantai Luo Xue looked thoughtfully at Ao Yu, now in human form.
"Quite good; I have always been enlightened by the way passed down from our Respected Master,"
"But, Second Senior Brother, who is this?"
Dantai Luo Xue asked softly.
"My mount, a Canglong, with the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm,"
Zhang Han spoke casually as if discussing an ordinary matter.
Yet anyone could hear the show-off in his tone.
"Canglong? Second Senior Brother, I remember that Canglongs don't usually sound like that, do they?"
Dantai Luo Xue furrowed her brows and inquired.
Upon hearing this,
Zhang Han was also momentarily taken aback.
The sound? Wu hu?
This Ao Yu indeed had a peculiar cry.
But he couldn't be bothered to care all that much.
After all, how it cried was its own business.
"Maybe... perhaps this Canglong is a little different from the others."
"By the way, Junior Sister, do you have any misunderstandings regarding the way our Respected Master has passed down? If so, your Senior Brother can clarify them for you,"
Zhang Han, not wanting to dwell too much on the issue of the cry, smiled and asked.
"Misunderstandings? No, not at all."
Dantai Luo Xue shook her head in response.
"Not the slightest?"
Zhang Han asked again.
"None. I have completely understood everything the Respected Master said, and even if there were things I did not understand, there's the Precious Chessboard. Indeed, there are no doubts,"
Dantai Luo Xue said, feeling puzzled and shaking her head.
Puff...
Zhang Han still wanted to say something,
But upon hearing that line about the Precious Chessboard...
He was immediately at a loss for words.
A thousand expressions couldn't compete with one phrase, "You have a precious treasure."
To be given a precious treasure right from the start by the Respected Master...
That treatment,
Was just too envious.
Zhang Han suddenly felt that his future position as the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect was shaken by Dantai Luo Xue.
But it was still okay, still okay.
This Junior Sister had too short a time in cultivation,
She couldn't possibly have the strength to shake his position.
She simply had exceptional aptitude and talent!
Hmm, it must be because the Respected Master is worried that the Wayless Sect won't have enough top-level fighters in the future, that after he inherits the Sect, he worried he'd have no one capable under him, thus he took in a Junior Sister and bestowed a precious treasure.
Zhang Han consoled himself silently in his heart a few times.
"But Second Senior Brother, there is one aspect I need your help with. I don't know if you have the time?"
Dantai Luo Xue suddenly spoke, asking a question.
"I'm free, of course I'm free. What's up, junior sister? If there's anything you need help with, just say the word."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han immediately perked up.
He wasn't afraid of Dantai Luo Xue needing help; he was afraid she wouldn't need any.
Only if she needed help could he establish his authority. Find your next read at empire
"Well, it's like this, second senior brother. Didn't our respected master say that we will go to Zhongzhou to attend the grand competition among all sects in five months? I have reached the extreme in my cultivation but have never fought with anyone. I wonder if second senior brother would kindly give me some instruction."
Dantai Luo Xue said softly.
Upon hearing this,
Zhang Han instantly lost interest.
Is that it?
He thought his junior sister had something significant to ask of him.
But it turned out to be just a sparring request.
Zhang Han had no interest in sparring whatsoever.
Sparring with the eldest senior brother scared him.
Sparring with the third junior brother, now that was bullying.
And as for sparring with this fourth junior sister, forget it.
He estimated the strength of this fourth junior sister to be quite weak.
For him, a mighty figure comparable to the Tribulation Transcending Stage, sparring with this junior sister would be utterly dull.
"Junior sister, if it's just about sparring, why not let my mount have a go at sparring with you? After all, this mount is also from the Nascent Soul Realm."
"Besides, your senior brother still plans to make a trip to the Divine Weapon Pavilion."
Zhang Han decisively tossed Ao Yu into the fray.
"A mount? Fine."
Dantai Luo Xue looked Ao Yu up and down, then nodded slightly.
Under the shocked gaze of Ao Yu,
Zhang Han left him behind
and headed straight for the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
He completely ignored Ao Yu henceforth.
Ao Yu's eyes widened as he watched Zhang Han's figure rapidly disappearing. He opened his mouth, wanting to shout for him to stay, but didn't know what to say.
He was expected to spar with a disciple of the Wayless Sect??
Dare he fight in earnest??
If he hurt this disciple, would that exalted existence not simply slap him through the air??
Ao Yu felt like crying.
Life was too hard.
From Yun State, he was ridden to East State, and then brought here.
Now he faced the risk of life and limb to spar with this disciple of the Wayless Sect…
It was just too hard!!
Zhang Han left.
And suddenly, the place grew quiet.
Ao Yu was inwardly ranting madly, not daring to speak.
But Dantai Luo Xue seemed quite interested as she looked at Ao Yu.
After a short while,
Ao Yu could no longer hold back and was the first to break the silence.
"Um... your Excellency, how would you like to spar?"
Ao Yu asked gloomily.
"Of course, you need to spar with all your strength. As someone from the Nascent Soul Realm, you should just about manage to spar with me. Especially since you are from the Dragon Clan—I've heard Dragons are very strong," said Dantai Luo Xue softly.
Her dark golden eyes shimmered with a glint of battle spirit.
Although she had never battled anyone, she had some estimate of her fighting abilities.
Defeating someone from the Nascent Soul Realm would be no problem at all.
"Your Excellency, are you serious? You don't even seem to be at the Qi Refinement stage," Ao Yu said tentatively.
He could tell at a glance.
This person in front of him had no cultivation levels at all.
"I'm not at the Qi Refinement stage?"
Dantai Luo Xue laughed.
In the next moment, a Stone Chess Board suddenly appeared in her hand.
Her Soul Power burst forth violently.
The Chessboard seemed to resonate, shining with golden light.
Under the terrified gaze of Ao Yu,
golden lines, crossing one another, suddenly emerged on the ground.
Walls rose from all sides as well.
From a distance, it appeared as if a large area was encased within a chessboard...
