Chapter 38 Chapter 38 The Unusual Defender
Qi Jiayi blinked and looked at the snow dog: "Chuan'er? Your real name is Chuan'er?"
The snow dog seemed to be stepped on a sore spot, "Your real name is Chuan'er."
He communicated so much with Yuan, didn’t he say his name? How come he only remembered one string?
Xunli suppressed his laughter. Although he didn't understand what the Snow Dog and the Mermaid said, this name...
"Don't talk about anything else for now, ask him about the demon world."
This little mermaid is smaller than the other mermaids that entered the Heavenly Demon Tower. From his tone, it seems that he has never seen the Snow Spirit Dog before, so he is most likely a newborn.
After asking, I found out that he was actually a newborn mermaid, or even a baby.
He had heard of the bird tribe leader but had never seen him. He had never left the sea, except this time.
The Snow Spirit Dog reminded him, "Mermaids cannot live without seawater. They can only last for an hour at most. Does Yueyao Sect have a sea?"
Once summoned, you have to raise it, which is a big problem.
"Yueyao Sect is not near the sea, but..." The blind old man with white hair changed the subject: "The leader of our Yueyao Sect likes to raise some fish from the sea. Shufeng even dug a large lake and put seawater into it on a daily basis."
I heard the word "Shufeng".
Qi Jiayi thought of Xia Qingming and what Leng Yao said, that the sect leader accepted Shu Qianqian as his last disciple.
Qi Jiayi: "Are there no other peak masters who have this hobby?"
The white-haired blind old man waved his hand: "No."
Qi Jiayi and the Snow Spirit Dog exchanged a glance, and the latter came up with a bad idea: "How about you summon seawater? If that doesn't work, disguise yourself and go to the Magic Peak, pretend to pass by, then fall in and secretly fill a few large buckets with it."
Qi Jiayi was a little tempted by the latter method and said, "I'll try it."
Xun Li pulled the collar of his shirt from behind and said, "Even if you are the Sect Master, you can't act willfully. It's a mission to collect sea water. Go to the Mission Hall and ask who has taken the mission. The amount of sea water that is filled every day is not small."
Qi Jiayi smiled awkwardly. Yes, otherwise she couldn't pretend to fall into the water and steal water every time.
He glared at the snow spirit dog and gave it some random advice.
Qi Jiayi was lucky and actually met a disciple who was willing to take on this task. Coincidentally, he had not yet completed the task, so she bought them all at a high price.
The little mermaid soaked in the sea water, and the dull fish scales gradually recovered. "I heard Brother Yuan talk about you guys. You are amazing. You brought them to the fourth floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower."
“I wish I could go up there too.”
The Snow Dog was surprised: "Are you still going?"
Didn’t you know it was a scam?
Xunli roughly guessed the reason. The orcs had been performing sacrifices for hundreds of years. If they were to suddenly find out that everything was just a trick, they would probably lose control.
Yang probably didn't want to say more.
Qi Jiayi sighed: "It's better to be kept in the dark like this."
The Snow Dog shook his head: "No, we should have taught them some literacy skills."
"Then it will be your job to teach the little mermaid how to read."
Qi Jiayi said happily.
Snow Dog: "?? You're shaking it too fast."
The next moment, the little mermaid in the wooden barrel disappeared with a whoosh.
The man and the dog were stunned for a moment, then they searched around the barrel several times and fished in the water a few times.
Snow Dog: "Where's the shark?"
The blind old man with white hair came over with a wine jug in his hand, burped, and said cheerfully, "He doesn't belong to this world. He will go back to where he came from."
Xun Li did not expect that the merman would disappear: "There is another reason. He has never made a contract with you, so you cannot keep him."
Qi Jiayi began to worry about a question: "Will Yang be able to stay then?"
Xun Li shook his head, "I don't know."
The Snow Dog shrugged his head and said, "What's the point of this summoning technique? It's useless."
"Didn't you say literacy? I will summon again and let the summoned orcs take the books back." Yang was deceived and trapped because he was illiterate. If he could read, could he unlock the seal of that world by himself?
He did it as soon as he said it, but when Qi Jiayi tried to make some hand gestures, he could no longer feel the strangeness.
Xun Li stopped him, saying, "Don't try. Summoning the mermaid just now has used up all your bad luck."
The blind white-haired old man took a look and said, "The little black egg has turned into a person, and the little girl is quite pretty."
"I am the senior who is praising me."
Qi Jiayi was in a dilemma. She didn't like her bad luck coming to an end before, but now she urgently needed it.
"Will this bad luck still happen?" If not, how could she summon Yang.
Being able to summon the mermaid shows that summoning is feasible, the key is the bad luck.
Xun Li was also unsure, "Let's wait and see in a few days."
The Snow Dog realized later that he hadn't seen his uncle for a long time, and suggested: "Speaking of which, it's been a few days, why don't you summon Xiaojiu back first."
Qi Jiayi: "Oh no, where is Xiaojiu hiding?"
The summoning of the Snow Dog and the little mermaid were due to bad luck. Now that they have summoned a little mermaid across the border, the bad luck has been used up and they can only go look for one.
Fortunately, Guafeng is not very big.
When he found the Black Iron Turtle, he was practicing, and because no one disturbed him, he was very diligent.
Qi Jiayi glanced at the snow dog: "Xiaojiu is working so hard, look at you."
The Snow Spirit Dog shook his head: "Humph, I hate the King of Scrolls the most."
--
Qi Jiayi had learned the summoning technique, so he no longer had to stay in Gua Peak. It was just to practice the summoning technique. But what to do with the things he summoned became a difficult problem.
Snow Dog: "How about throwing it away secretly?"
Qi Jiayi was worried: "Those knives and swords in there, maybe the person who lost them is in a hurry, it would be a bad idea to throw them away."
Snow Dog got to the root of the problem: "But we don't even know who these things belong to, how can we return them?"
"Aren't you always looking at the token? The owner is on it."
"You plan to pay them back one by one. Maybe they are setting a trap to catch you now."
In the end, in order to avoid being beaten and killed as a pervert, Qi Jiayi could only put those things on the sect's competition stage.
Take it upon yourself.
--
When I returned to the house, I saw someone sitting at the stone table from afar.
There is spiritual energy all around her, it is Leng Yao who is practicing.
Qi Jiayi was a little surprised. She was not practicing in her own room, so why was she practicing in her yard?
Although he was puzzled, Qi Jiayi did not step forward to disturb her and let Leng Yao practice.
When she came out again, Leng Yao had already left without her knowing.
The next day.
Under the pressure of the two scroll kings, the Snow Spirit Dog practiced for a while, and couldn't help but slack off to look at the token, and said in shock: "Qi Jiayi, the sect is going to hold a trial competition, divided into individual and team competitions, and the individual competition has already started to register."
Qi Jiayi knew that during the trial competition, at this time in her previous life, she closed her eyes and continued to meditate.
The date of her death in her previous life is getting closer and closer.
Thinking of this, he used some hand gestures to share some of the weight of the black iron turtle with his body.
The Black Iron Turtle noticed something, looked up at her, and continued to practice with his eyes closed.
"I see many people have already started looking for people to form a team. Aren't you going to take action?" The Snow Spirit Dog looked around and counted the number of people. It would take five people to form a team. The beauty would definitely join them, so there were still three people missing.
Qi Jiayi said disapprovingly: "When the time comes, just join any team and hang out."
In her previous life, she was in a team with Leng Yao, Pei Hongmo, Su Chuwei, and Xia Qingming. Although they won first place, she felt upset when she thought about it now.
They took away her share of the reward as a punishment, claiming that she was holding back.
Qi Jiayi looked down upon those rewards, but that didn't mean she could be humiliated at will.
Besides, I had experienced trials and competitions in my previous life, so I knew what they were about, so I wasn’t too interested in them in this life.
"You can form teams at will, but what about the individual competition? Isn't this a requirement for all disciples to participate?"
Snow Dog looked at the rules of the individual competition.
"Individual competition...when the time comes, just take a day to challenge them one by one and get the required number." Qi Jiayi didn't really want to go either, it was a bit of a waste of time.
The sect’s minimum requirement is that each disciple who does not defend the challenge must participate in at least ten challenges.
In Qi Jiayi's opinion, individual competitions, whether defending or attacking the title, are a waste of time.
When Black Iron Turtle heard about the individual competition, he asked Snow Spirit Dog to show him the token.
After a while, he said, "Go and defend the ring."
"ah?"
"ah?"
Qi Jiayi and the Snow Spirit Dog were both shocked.
The Snow Spirit Dog read the rules and said, "Defending the ring is obviously much more troublesome than attacking it. Once you go up, you can't come down unless you fail. Uncle, she doesn't even dare to fight in the ring, and you want her to defend it?"
Qi Jiayi made a gesture with one hand.
Plop, a large lump of mud smeared onto his face.
The snow dog spit out the mud in its mouth: "What are you doing?"
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense. I don't want to go, not that I don't dare to go. If you don't listen to me, I will cut off your ears."
The Snow Spirit Dog was not convinced and was about to refute.
The Black Iron Turtle interrupted him and said, "I will guard it, but as a contracted beast, the beast master must be present."
"Xiao Jiu, why do you want to defend the ring?" Not only did Gou Zi not understand, but she, as the beast master, could not understand the thoughts of this contracted beast.
The Black Iron Turtle said seriously: "Test the strength and toughness of the shield."
He practiced alone, and although he could activate the shield at critical moments, he never had many opportunities to use it in actual combat.
Defending the title in the individual competition would be a good opportunity for him to find out how far he has come in his training.
Qi Jiayi thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go."
It was a good thing for her that her contracted beast was making progress, and she also wanted to know the limit of the shield opened by the Black Iron Turtle.
Standing up and patting the corners of his clothes, Qi Jiayi glanced at the Snow Spirit Dog and said, "Little useless dog, let's go. As you wish, join in the fun."
The Snow Dog bared its teeth: "Who are you looking down on? I'm going to bite you."
"Xiaojiu, knock him away."
The next moment, the Snow Dog was pushed against the wall by the light green shield. His face was distorted and he said with difficulty: "Uncle, whose uncle are you?"
Qi Jiayi was a little surprised, but he smiled and didn't take it too seriously. He took out his sword and said, "Let's go."
The sect trial is held on the competition stage, and the venue is wide and large enough.
Qi Jiayi also glanced at one of the competition tables. All the things she summoned were gone. She didn't know whether they were taken away by the owner or cleaned up.
Arriving at the registration site for the individual competition of the sect trial, there were quite a lot of disciples who showed up.
It is divided into three stages according to the level of cultivation: Qi training stage, foundation building stage, and golden elixir stage.
Qi Jiayi found the registration place for the Foundation Establishment Period and divided them into two groups, one to record the number of people defending the ring and the other to record the number of people attacking the ring.
It doesn't mean that you can't attack the ring while defending it. If you fail to defend the ring three times, you can switch to attacking the ring.
Those who successfully attack the challenge have never failed and naturally become the defenders.
There are very few people who sign up directly to defend the title. Even if they are strong, they will become tired after continuous challenges.
The attacker, however, can wait for the right opportunity to challenge on the stage.
Therefore, those who came on stage at the beginning were all those whose cultivation was not very high. The competitions in the last few days were the most interesting, with all of them being competitions between masters.
Qi Jiayi took out her disciple token and said, "Senior Sister, I sign up to defend the ring."
The Foundation Establishment disciples who had signed up nearby all looked over. She was not the first one to sign up to defend the ring, but she was the first direct disciple to arrive.
"He is a direct disciple. Is there such a person in the Beast Taming Peak? I have never seen him."
"I haven't seen it either, but that dog looks familiar."
"The cultivation level is at the late stage of foundation building. There is actually a person at the foundation building stage among the disciples."
"I want to challenge her. It's rare to meet a disciple of the same level as me."
"I want one too, just in case I win."
"Hahaha, you're so bold."
Qi Jiayi ignored the voices around him, signed up and walked straight to the stage he was going to defend.
There are three stages of individual competition. The defender will have his own arena and can just go up and wait for challenges.
There are the most disciples at the foundation-building stage, so competitions have already begun on other stages.
After Qi Jiayi went up, the Black Iron Turtle stood in the center of the ring, ready.
But at the beginning, no one came up to challenge him. Qi Jiayi was a little bored waiting, so he simply took out a soft couch from his ring and sat down.
She took out some fruit and cut it. Since it was not convenient to meditate and practice, she could just eat it. The fruit was full of spiritual energy. After returning to the world of immortal cultivation, she did not take the fasting pills, but just relied on eating the fruit.
The Snow Dog also climbed onto the couch: "Why is there no one here? There are quite a lot of people watching, but no one is coming up."
Qi Jiayi glanced at the disciples below the stage.
The next moment, a male disciple in fluttering clothes flew onto the stage, bowed and said, "Yinfeng, Le Yulin, come to challenge."
The other person was holding a flute and had a gentle temperament.
Among the ten peaks of Yueyao Sect, the disciples of Shu Peak and Yin Peak are the most pleasing to the eye.
Qi Jiayi stood up and returned the salute, "The defender is Xiaojiu."
This was what they had agreed upon before they entered the ring, to defend the ring and Qi Jiayi not to interfere.
The other person turned the flute in his hand into a beautiful circle and placed it to his lips.
As soon as he made a sound, he was knocked out of the ring.
However, the people of Yinfeng have always paid attention to their image, so they did not land in a very awkward manner after being knocked out. Instead, they stretched out their hands, steadied their bodies, and landed lightly on one foot.
The Snow Spirit Dog chuckled and said, "Haha, he thought to himself, this landing posture is so handsome, he remained calm in the face of danger, and will definitely charm a bunch of junior sisters."
Qi Jiayi returned the gift and sat down to continue cutting fruit. I can only say that he has a really good attitude.
But Le Yulin’s good attitude does not mean that other people have a good attitude.
"What happened? Why did you suddenly leave the stage?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone jump down so quickly after attacking a challenge. The fight hasn't even started yet, why are you backing off?"
"Isn't it? He just jumped down without even doing anything?"
Le Yulin lamented that he was only handsome for a moment, and the noises around him made his face turn pale.
Does that mean he doesn't want to fight? Wasn't he knocked down before he even started to make a move?
Someone recognized Le Yulin's identity and said, "Senior Brother Le, you can't just give in to him just because he is your direct disciple."
"That's right."
Le Yulin frowned and said, "If you don't agree, then go up and try it yourself."
Someone with a bad temper immediately jumped onto the stage, "Tifeng, Zhongcang, come and challenge me."
As he spoke, he banged on the objects with a pair of large hammers in his hands, making clanging sounds with great momentum.
The Snow Dog tilted its head to look at him. "The pair of big hammers in his hands look familiar."
Qi Jiayi put down the fruit he had just cut twice, stood up and returned the greeting, "The defender is Xiaojiu."
This is so troublesome. Should she put up a sign saying that Xiaojiu is the defending champion? Otherwise, every time someone comes up, she will have to stand up and return the greeting.
Perhaps he had learned from the previous lesson, for before Qi Jiayi's buttocks touched the couch, Zhong Cang had already rushed up with a sledgehammer.
The light green shield unfolded, and with a clang, the shield and the hammer collided, making a harsh sound.
Zhong Cang didn't take the shield seriously, however, he found that the shield was expanding outwards and pushing him off the stage.
"Ah——" With a loud shout, Zhong Cang bent one leg into a bow shape and straightened the other leg in a defensive position.
Resisting the spread of the shield.
Zhong Cang looked at Qi Jiayi who was leisurely peeling fruit, and was furious: "If you have the guts, come out and fight me. You are using such a despicable method. As a direct disciple, do you have any shame?"
Qi Jiayi held the knife in his hand, glanced at the physical practitioner, pursed his lips and said, "Is there a possibility that I am not the one defending the ring?"
"Who's on guard then?"
He pointed to the inconspicuous black iron turtle in the center of the arena. It had not grown any bigger since it became the size of half a palm.
Qi Jiayi said seriously: "My contracted beast, Xiaojiu."
