Chapter 104 Lightning-type Different Spiritual Root?
At this moment, Xiao Huan, who was looking completely relaxed, was unaware of the danger lurking ahead. As he ran, he muttered to himself, "I need to go relieve myself as soon as the competition is over. I'm about to burst!"
Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura coming from behind him. He leaped up and created some distance. He saw several sharp sword beams slashing towards him. He looked closely and saw Bai Ruoqian standing on the tree.
"You... why are you still here?"
Bai Ruoqian's face was full of gloom as she sneered, "What do you think?"
"I'm not afraid of you!"
"Really? Then straighten your tongue before you speak!"
Seeing her expression, Xiao Huan knew she wasn't going to let him off easily, so he seized the opportunity and ran away.
But Bai Ruoqian wasn't about to let him off so easily. In a few flashes, she blocked his path and said coldly, "Do you think you can leave without me giving you a beating?"
"Hey, I haven't offended you, have I...?"
"Hmph, everyone from Peach Blossom Valley deserves to die!" Bai Ruoqian's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she drew her sword and charged at him.
"Ahhh, don't come any closer!"
Xiao Huan's face showed panic. Suddenly, a blue light flashed beneath his feet, and a sound like thunder rang out. His figure turned into a blur and fled into the distance.
"What?!"
Bai Ruoqian stood there dumbfounded, watching the person disappear in a flash, her face full of shock. "This... how is this possible?!"
Xiao Huan's movement technique was several times faster than hers.
Moreover, she seemed to sense the lightning attribute, and her expression suddenly changed in disbelief as she exclaimed, "Could he be a lightning-type spiritual root?"
Outside the secret realm, everyone watched in astonishment as Xiao Huan streaked across the mountain path like lightning, leaving behind trails of afterimages.
"Wow, that's fast! What kind of movement technique is that?"
"Hahaha, this kid can run so fast! How come I've never seen him play before?"
"Who knows? It seems this person is a reserve disciple from Peach Blossom Valley who will be competing..."
"Are you mistaken? That's a lightning-type unique spiritual root, how could he be a reserve disciple for the competition?"
"Really? I saw him on the list of participants from various sects. I think his name is Xiao Huan..."
...
In fact, not only the others, but even the people in Peach Blossom Valley were somewhat bewildered at this moment.
Lan Ruyan suddenly realized: "Oh, so you arranged Senior Brother Xiao Huan this way to catch them off guard!"
Ming Cang's eye twitched. He didn't know about others, but he was quite 'unexpected' right now.
"This kid's been hiding his true colors pretty well..."
Ye Luo naturally heard his master's murmur and couldn't help but develop a strong interest in this timid and undisciplined senior brother.
He had always felt that Xiao Huan was a bit strange. How could someone with such extensive knowledge be an ordinary person?
His talent for cultivation is in no way inferior to Bai Ruoqian's heavenly spiritual root aptitude, so why would he condescend to stay in Peach Blossom Valley?
"That brat, just wait and see how I deal with him!" The First Elder seemed to have just come to his senses, his face showing a mixture of excitement and reproach.
"Such great talent, yet he doesn't use his mind on cultivation, but instead spends all his time reading useless novels. It's infuriating!"
The Second Elder snorted coldly, "Hmm, we must focus on nurturing him when we get back, and we can't let him be so indulged anymore!"
"Uh..." Ye Luo chuckled to herself, as if she could foresee how Xiao Huan would suffer from his studies in the future.
The match is over.
Peach Blossom Valley unexpectedly won first place; followed by Heavenly Wind Sect in second place; and War Sect secured third place this time.
After everyone was teleported out of the secret realm, Ming Cang and the others went up to Xiao Huan, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You did a good job, kid! You kept it a secret well too."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huan chuckled awkwardly, "I...I need to go to the bathroom, I can't hold it in any longer!"
He vanished in a flash, leaving the group of people speechless.
"Hmph, is he trying to escape by peeing?" the elder said angrily.
Mingcang glanced at the rankings on the monument; Peach Blossom Valley was still firmly in first place. "Alright, alright, Xiaofeng, carry Xiaoyu on your back and let's go back to the inn. We'll have a proper celebration tonight!"
"Alright!" Cen Feng carried the injured Jian Yu on his back, hefted her a few times, and said happily, "Let's go!"
On the other end.
The Tianfeng Sect fell silent, and the atmosphere became eerily heavy.
Fu Zhenghan looked at Bai Ruoqian's gloomy face and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up, snorted coldly, and left.
Bai Ruoqian was on the verge of tears, and she didn't want to explain anything anymore.
She never imagined that Xiao Huan's movement technique would be so formidable, catching her off guard and causing her a great loss.
Su Yuyuan: "Junior Sister, are you alright?"
"It's nothing..." Bai Ruoqian lowered her head, feeling numb at this moment.
After a long silence, Bai Ruoqian's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Bastards! Everyone's against me..."
Once the soul guide awakens, we must devise a plan to destroy that annoying Peach Blossom Valley!
After Xiao Huan returned to the inn, he was still summoned by Ming Cang for questioning. After waiting for a long time, they finally came out.
No matter how much Cen Feng and the others questioned him, Xiao Huan only gave perfunctory answers and did not reveal any information at all.
Not only that, even his master and the others covered for him, which made Ye Luo even more curious about the identity of this Senior Brother Xiao Huan.
Ming Cang smiled broadly and said, "Alright, the final team battle will be held in three days. Everyone can relax for the next few days!"
"Yay!!"
Ming Cang: "However, we cannot let our guard down in the final match. In previous years, there have been sects that successfully turned the tide by relying on the final team battle. You should be prepared for that."
"Yes, I understand!"
Because of the previous attack on Yeluo, Mingcang booked the entire second floor of the inn to avoid the risk of contact with unauthorized personnel.
Mu Tai also increased the number of people to strengthen patrols in the city's inns and streets to ensure the safety of the participating disciples.
After several rounds of drinks, and with Mingcang's constant nagging, the group still couldn't drink to their hearts' content and were immediately sent back to their rooms to rest.
Yu Qianling's cheeks flushed red as she said, "Master, please let me have just a little bit more."
Seeing that Ye Luo looked tired, Ming Cang said, "Alright, Xiao Luo and Xiao Yu are still injured. Let's drink to our hearts' content after the competition."
"All right."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and returned to their respective rooms.
Before falling asleep, Ye Luo drank the medicine that Yu Xian'er brought her and then drifted into a deep sleep.
However, he did not sleep soundly. His bizarre dreams were filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, which appeared repeatedly in his dreams, waking him up inexplicably several times. He could not fall asleep until the latter half of the night.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Ye Luo was half asleep when she was woken up by a hot, wet kiss.
The familiar cool fragrance made him unconsciously bend his knees, hugging the strong body against him, and ask in a cute, nasal voice, "Yinbao...you're back?"
