Chapter 121: Water Crystal

  The first nine rounds, the enemies that appeared were all in the late stage of Qi Refining. The tenth round was at the early stage of Foundation Building, and the eleventh round was at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Building. Following this pattern, there would be seven more rounds with enemies at the early stage of Foundation Building, which means the last nine rounds would have enemies at the middle stage of Foundation Building. The final round, the 27th round, might even have eight enemies at the middle stage of Foundation Building. With so many powerful enemies, it's absolutely impossible for him to win given his current strength.

  What should I do? Zi Ye fell into deep thought

  At the time of Zi Xi's contemplation, Huang Luoxue, who had been advancing smoothly like a hot knife through butter, finally encountered her first small problem.

  The next battle will feature three mid-term enemies, and if they continue to fight alone, it will be difficult to cope. Huang Luoxue hesitated for a moment, her wrist shook, and a white bracelet slipped off, instantly transforming into a white snake, as thick as a bowl, one meter long, standing upright on its upper body, its slender tail swaying back and forth, its crystal-like small head rubbing against Huang Luoxue's jade arm.

  "Master, you've finally let Xiao Shui participate in battle!"

  "Uh-huh, for the next dozen or so battles, I'll need Xiao Shui's help, but the enemy is very strong, be careful not to get hurt."

  "Master, don't worry, I've already reached the fifth rank of Small Water and will soon be able to advance to the sixth rank. These enemies can't hurt me."

  "Enemy appeared, Xiao Shui, prepare for battle!"

  Huang Luoxue drew out her long sword, her body like lightning, and struck at one person. Xiao Shui leapt into the air, its tail sweeping down and knocking over another person. Another person was also swept away by the tip of its tail, then Xiao Shui firmly trapped the two people, allowing Huang Luoxue to focus on dealing with the third person.

  Four people and one demon are all skilled in water and ice-based martial arts. On the battlefield, snowflakes fluttered about, icicles shot out in all directions, sword lights intersected, and the four beauties darted back and forth among them, their movements light and agile, like spirits dancing in the snow. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful. But those snowflakes and icicles were extremely dangerous, and anyone who came into contact with them would be splattered with fresh blood.

  The two sides fought for a moment, and Huang Luoxue poured in spiritual energy. The long sword's silver light surged, flying out and going straight for the opponent's face. The beauty raised her protective spirit screen, dodged to the side, and immediately rose into the air, wanting to retreat. At this time, a pillar of water suddenly appeared from behind her, firmly binding her in place, unable to move. The flying sword arrived, piercing through her heart, and the beauty instantly turned into a rain of light that fell down.

  Afterwards, Huang Luoxue and Xiao Shui cooperated, quickly killing the remaining two enemies.

  Huang Luoxue sat cross-legged on the platform. The white snake nestled elegantly beside her, amidst a sky full of glittering lights that shone with crystalline brilliance, gathering around them and pouring into their bodies.

  From the last enemy turning into a rain of light, to the rain of light falling onto the battlefield, it only took a short three breaths. Huang Luoxue circulated her technique and managed to absorb nearly half of the rain of light into her body, feeling refreshed all over, as if her body had undergone some sort of wondrous change, her cultivation slowly rising, and Xiao Shui also benefited greatly. If she could just absorb a few more times, she would be able to advance to the sixth rank (equivalent to the late stage of foundation building).

  At the same time, on another battlefield, Luo Yu painted six hours of talismans and his spiritual consciousness could not hold on. Hurriedly sat down to recover his spiritual consciousness, thinking of the thirty second-grade superior talismans he had just successfully drawn, Luo Yu was very relieved, the next battle should be no problem.

  Nine days later, Luo Yu was like a broken rag doll, sprawled on the battlefield with her flesh and blood blurred together, her breath as thin as a strand of silk. Inside her body, five strands of purple energy ceaselessly roamed about, repairing the wounds in her internal organs and skin.

  Fortunately, she didn't break her arms or legs. Otherwise, even with the help of the purple energy, it would be impossible to reattach the broken limbs.

  Regrowing severed limbs is something that can only happen to a Great Ape or a Redmi.

  If Hongmi were here today and helped trigger the talisman, she wouldn't have ended up so badly.

  It's just that five days ago she handed a box to Hongmi and let it retreat into space for a short period of closure, but why hasn't it come out yet?

  Hongmi sprang out of the space with excitement, and with a "pa" sound, slipped and fell into a puddle of fresh blood.

  "Master, I've been away for just a few days, how did you end up in this state? You're not going to die on me, are you?"

  The pomegranate transmitted sound while secretly extending its style towards the blood on the ground, with its bright petals helping to cover it.

  "Red Rice, if you dare suck my blood, I'll refine you and turn you into fertilizer in my space!" Luo Yu shouted loudly.

  With a whoosh, the pistil retracted, the petals closed, and Hongmi bounced back five meters. Only then did he say with a hint of reason, "The blood has already been spilled on the ground, you can't take it back, leaving it there would be a waste. Why not let me absorb it? It could even enhance my cultivation. If my strength increases, won't our chances of winning in the next battle be higher?" By the end, Hongmi had become quite confident and self-assured.

  "Mi Mi, do you think that just because your cultivation has reached the fourth stage and you've become more arrogant, you can now challenge our master?"

  A gloomy voice sounded, scaring Hongmi to hurry back and perch on Luo Yu's wrist. A stream of clear water sprayed out from the flower bud, carefully washing away the bloodstains on Luo Yu's body.

  "Master, how dare I argue with you? I'm already struggling to curry favor."

  Luo Yu praised: "Not bad, your cultivation has improved a lot, you can be considered to have gained some insight, I'm very relieved."

  "It was my fault for not doing enough in the past, from now on I will devote myself wholeheartedly to serving Master with all my heart and soul." Hongmi spoke in a flattering tone, "Master, if you have any other treasures similar to the jade box in the future, you can also give them to me. Once I become stronger, I'll be able to help Master with even more things."

  "That's a Water Crystal, you think it's something that can be picked up on the street? Luo Yu snorted: "The Water Crystal is of great use to me, I originally planned to keep it for upgrading my space, if not for our current difficult situation, how would I be willing to give it to you?"

  "That jade box was snatched by me, it's only right that I use it!" Hong Mi discontentedly retracted the flower bud and stopped helping Luo Yu Qing wash off the blood.

  "Without me, would you have the chance to snatch the jade box in the grand hall? And what about what you just said, that one red heart is tied to the master?"

  "With all one's heart and soul to serve the master!" Hongmi reluctantly accepted the second half of the sentence, then excitedly asked: "Master, what did you grab in that jade box? Take it out and let me see."

  "If you've taken a liking to it, I'll give it to you as an upgrade?" Luo Yu teased.

  "What's wrong? I just wanted to see if the master's good fortune is better than mine? No, it must be better than mine!" Hongmi hastily said in a flattering tone.

  Luoyu furrowed her brow, moving the wound on her forehead, feeling a bit of pain. "It's just a pair of flying boots, an extreme-grade spiritual artifact. If you want to swallow it, that's fine, but afterwards, you'll be responsible for carrying me around."
