Chapter 441: Succubus (11)
His eyes widened, and he shouted, "What's going on, senior brother? Quickly put away your formation. I admit defeat. You've already won."
However, the formation did not stop.
Qi Yuan stood up from her seat, her face contorted with emotion. "Lin Gu, since the opponent has already admitted defeat, why haven't you dismantled the formation yet?"
The sect leader of the Array Spirit Sect also hurriedly called out, because if something happened, he couldn't protect Lin Gu, his most valued disciple, since this was the Mingyuan Sect and Gu Yuan was sitting in the main seat.
Lin Gu coughed up blood and knelt on the ground. "I can't retract the formation, Master, save me—"
Elder Qiyuan and the elders of the Array Spirit Sect were about to step forward to stop them, but they were blocked by a protective array. Elder Qiyuan looked at the sect leader, thinking that no one else but the sect leader could easily stop the two of them.
"What does the sect leader mean by this?" Qi Yuan asked in confusion.
Gu Yuan: "Let's see."
So Elder Qiyuan could only wait anxiously outside. Wen Wan was in excruciating pain from being hit. "System, what's going on?"
System: [Host, it doesn't seem to have harmed you.]
"I'm in pain, isn't this considered an injury? It feels like being stabbed."
System: [Under normal circumstances, if you were smashed to pieces, could you still speak? And don't you feel like it's communicating with you? Pay attention, you might be pleasantly surprised.]
Wen Yan: "..."
This isn't a surprise, it's a shock!
"Are you serious?"
System: [You can't get out anyway.]
Wen Yan: "..."
Suddenly, she realized there was some truth to it. After all, she and the system were bound by fate. If she died, the system wouldn't benefit either. Therefore, Wen Wan only pondered for a few dozen seconds before giving up her resistance. "Fine, if I die, it's not my fault. You'd better quickly block out my sense of pain. Don't tell me you don't have that function; you do."
system:【……】
However, Wen Wan soon discovered that it really didn't hurt; the raindrops actually started to feel more comfortable on her body.
Wen Wan closed her eyes and began to focus on sensing the spiritual rain. To outsiders, it was strange that this disciple was motionless. If he was dead, he wouldn't be standing up. If he was completely unharmed, that was too absurd.
Looking at the elders on the high platform, and most importantly at Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan in the very center, everyone relaxed as he quietly watched the arena. It was an instinctive trust in Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan. Since Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan wasn't nervous, it meant that nothing serious had happened.
Qi Yuan was initially worried, but as she watched, shock flashed in her eyes. The sect leader of the Array Spirit Sect beside her was also extremely shocked. "How is this possible? This Spirit Rain Array has already been recognized as its master by Lin Gu. How could it possibly recognize another person as its master?"
Wen Wan felt as if she had entered a mysterious and profound realm. She could feel the drizzle, the downpour, the trickling stream, and the vast river...
A bead appeared in Wen Wan's hand, and Wen Wan felt her blood being slowly absorbed.
really.
She was familiar with this routine; they all wanted to leech off her.
After the contract was completed, Wen Wan removed the formation. Then, belatedly, she looked at the onlookers, especially Lin Gu, who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, with a terrible complexion and coughing up blood.
Suddenly, I felt at a loss. Although the bead insisted on recognizing me as its owner, the formation still belonged to someone else. Was it really appropriate to just take it away like that?
"Senior Brother Lin, are you alright?" Wen Wan walked over and helped him up, then handed the bead to Lin Gu. "I don't know what happened either. Why don't you make another contract and take it back?"
Lin Gu's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Wen Wan looked at her master on the high platform. Elder Qiyuan coughed twice and then looked at the sect leader.
"Sect Leader, this..."
Gu Yuan: "Sect Leader Qiao, what are your thoughts?"
The sect leader of the Spirit Array Sect: "..."
"It's good that nothing bad has happened. Since the Spirit Rain Array has automatically recognized its master, it must belong to Wen Wan."
The next second, a bead flew from Gu Yuan's hand and landed in Sect Leader Qiao's hand. "This is compensation."
Although the Spirit Rain Array was of a decent level, it wasn't high either. However, the array given by Immortal Venerable Gu was far superior to hundreds of Spirit Rain Arrays. How could Sect Leader Qiao have any complaints? He was satisfied in every way.
He ordered someone to take his disciple Lin Gu to heal his injuries.
In this formation competition, Wen Wan was undoubtedly the best, in the eyes of others. However, in Wen Wan's own opinion, her first place was a bit too weak. The Spirit Rain Formation was also a problem; it turned against her at the crucial moment, causing the other disciples to not want to compete with Wen Wan at all. They all began to forfeit, fearing that the formations they brought out would change their owners, and they would have nowhere to cry when they did.
The rebirth of the Mingyuan Sect is truly bizarre.
Wen Wan became the first place winner. When it came time for the awards ceremony, according to her second senior sister, the prizes for the previous freshman competitions were quite good. To be honest, Wen Wan was looking forward to it.
Looking at Gu Yuan on the stage, Wen Wan realized that Gu Yuan was also looking at her. She was a little confused. "System, will Gu Yuan figure out my identity?"
The system remained silent, clearly indicating that it didn't know where it had gone.
Or it could just be laziness.
Soon it was Wen Wan's turn to go on stage to receive the award. Wen Wan originally thought that the presenter would be at most an elder from one of the sects, but she didn't expect that it would be Gu Yuan himself who presented the award. The tension instantly increased. After all, she was sweating as the male lead was such a handsome, aloof, and powerful man.
Wen Wan raised her hand.
A box appeared in her hand, and Wen Wan opened it without thinking, only to find a jade pendant inside.
Wow, this material must be worth a lot of money, right?
If she can't stay in the Mingyuan Sect anymore and doesn't want to go back to the Demon Cave, maybe she can be sold and wander the world.
"This contains a trace of my sword energy."
Wen Wan: "Thank you, Sect Leader."
Holy crap, if this had the sword energy of Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan, this jade pendant wouldn't just be a jade pendant anymore; it would be a life-saving item. Its value is simply immeasurable. I'll hold off on selling it for now; it might save my life in a critical moment.
Wen Wan's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Wen Wan then stepped back, clutching the life-saving box like a precious treasure. Her second senior sister and Qi Ling senior sister were practically green with envy.
"This was personally given to me by Sect Leader Gu Yuan. I'm so envious. Let me touch it."
Wen Wan handed it over, "Touch it as you like, I was just lucky this time." Wen Wan took out the bead from the Spirit Rain Array, "This bead is cheating, otherwise I wouldn't have won."
Senior Sister Qiling: "..."
She also wanted the array bead that she had used to harass her. Is this junior sister the chosen one? This is terrifying. If she were to fight against other array masters, that would be harassment. She would directly snatch the array bead back, and the array bead might even be willing to do so.
envious.
It's so sour it's almost unbearable.
After the competition, Wen Wan became famous. Everywhere she went, senior brothers and sisters would talk to her, and even some elders wanted her to learn something else, but they all gave up after seeing her talent.
Indeed, no one is an all-rounder.
Being outstanding in alchemy, medicine making, and formations is already quite remarkable; nothing else matters.
Especially sword practice.
Their outstanding disciples can make a sword take flight in three days and fly on a sword in a month.
Even those with poor talent can control a sword.
She practiced for a month but couldn't even lift her sword. Moreover, her cultivation level was really low, and she couldn't absorb any spiritual energy at all. The elder who taught the new students swordsmanship was so angry that he almost went bald. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. After all, this was a Heavenly Spiritual Root. All spiritual energy was like the wind passing by without a trace. It couldn't be retained at all. Only with a long period of extremely abundant spiritual energy could one embark on the path of Qi cultivation.
