--- Chapter 300 ---
After preparing a few things, Chu Yueli, Xiao Lingxi, and Yona are ready to visit the Demon Imperial City. Standing on the plain of solitude, Fu Zhong sent them off with a faint smile.
"Give my greeting to Lord Shadow." Fu Zhong said, waving his thin hand at Chu Yueli.
Chu Yueli rolled her eyes, "You know you can give the Master a greeting personally."
"Hah, an Old Man like me must know his place. I'm not a beauty like you and very busy managing the Heavenly Demon Cult." Fu Zhong laughed pretentiously, making Chu Yueli's mouth twitch slightly.
"Go, don't make Lord Shadow wait too long!"
Chu Yueli coldly snorted at this shameless elder. She flicked her sleeve and wrapped Xiao Lingxi and Yona with her shawl, bringing them to the sky as she floated away from the Heavenly Demon Cult.
Fu Zhong kept waving his thin hand and couldn't help but comment, "Ah, how nice it be to be young."
Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli are actually in their mid-forties. However, they have no wisdom granted by growing old like Fu Zhong.
After all, they devoted nearly all their lives to cultivating and reaching a higher realm.
To Fu Zhong, they are no different than innocent maidens.
Well, not-so-innocent after a few days ago.
In the sky, Chu Yueli hummed gently while Xiao Lingxi and Yona enjoyed the marvel of flying. The feeling of a breeze and morning coldness sent pleasant shivers to their spines. It was thrilling.
"Don't get too excited, you two. You are not kids anymore." Chu Yueli commented casually. "Also, strive to reach Sky Profound Realm in one or two months."
"That's too difficult..." Yona said dumbly. Even though her cultivation speed was slow, it was also steady.
She was confident she could reach Earth Profound Realm, but Sky Profound Realm?
That's out of the question.
Even Xiao Lingxi felt troubled by Chu Yueli's assignment. Her cultivation speed is much slower than Yona's. Nothingness Sutra is too much for her, but the reward she could get if she mastered it is immense and rich.
Chu Yueli chuckled, "What, you two are already giving up? You really want to let Master down..."
Hearing this, both Xiao Lingxi and Yona hurriedly straightened their backs because if there was one thing they didn't want to do, then it was to disappoint Yu Long's trust in them!
Chu Yueli saw blazing fire in their eyes and laughed inwardly because it was so effortless to rile them up. Ah, motivating others to cultivate has never been this easy.
Suddenly, Chu Yueli discerned something in the corner of her eyes and looked down. She saw a rare Profound Beast at the early stage of Earth Profound Realm and thought of something quickly.
She glanced at Xiao Lingxi and Yona, "Well, your chance is here. At first, I was planning to train you when we reached the Demon Imperial City."
"But I have a change of heart."
"Teacher, what do you mean-!" Before Xiao Lingxi could ask, she felt her body falling from the sky rapidly. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Kyaaaa~!"
Yona blinked at Xiao Lingxi and mimicked awkwardly, "K-Kyaaaa!"
"..." Chu Yueli stared at Yona with a blank look. This lady sure is something else.
At least do a little bit better to fake your emotions.
Truthfully, Chu Yueli was somewhat helpless when teaching Yona. She has no ripple of emotion unless Yu Long is mentioned, acting like a living doll more than a creature with wisdom.
Most of the time, Yona mimicked Xiao Lingxi's mannerisms. It made her look awkward.
After all, Yona's appearance didn't match her fake mannerisms. With the face and body of a charmer, she couldn't possibly act like an innocent doe.
However, this creates a Gap-moe, which makes Yona quite adorable.
Chu Yueli shook her head gently and sent her disciples to face the ferocious Profound Beast.
Xiao Lingxi and Yona landed in a valley, facing a giant white snake with venomous red eyes and a cold aura.
"Okay, my first task is not to die." Chu Yueli's calm voice echoed in the valley. "Fight the Red-Eyed Cold Snake and win with all methods available."
"You can use poison, hidden weapons, etc."
"Except, Yona... I have sealed 90% of your physical strength to make things fair for Lingxi, so don't even think about fighting like a mad beast when facing this snake."
Yona pouted upon hearing this. If there was one thing she took pride in, it was her exceptional physical strength and blood energy. However, with 90% of that strength sealed by Chu Yueli, her fighting abilities would be severely weakened.
"As for Lingxi... Just do your best!" Chu Yueli encouraged Xiao Lingxi before cutting off her connection with them.
"Teacher!" Xiao Lingxi was on the verge of crying.
How cruel.
Teacher, how cruel!
"Stop crying, Lingxi. The snake is coming for us." Yona commented flatly.
Yona snapped her fair finger, and a bloody aura exploded from her palm, condensed into a three-meter-tall war axe.
Bang!
The war axe landed on the ground heavily, crushing the rock apart. Green circuits covered Yona's skin as energy pulsated in her body.
Xiao Lingxi wiped her teary face and waved her hand, summoning an old-looking steel spear. She gritted her white teeth and had a determined look for some reason.
A countryside girl could also be bold, or it might be the residual influence of being Ancestral God's reincarnation.
'Although Lingxi has lost her origin and status as the reincarnation, she should have inherited some of Shizu's characteristics.' Amused by Xiao Lingxi's look, Chu Yueli couldn't help but grin.
Hiss!
The snake's tongue rolled back as it pounced on Xiao Lingxi and Yona, swinging its giant white tail at them.
"Mana Pulse Sutra - 1st Stage: Twofold Revolution!" Yona swung her war axe, clashing with the incoming tail.
BANG!
BOOOOM!
Yona was sent flying and crashed into the nearby valley's wall, coughing air. She stared at the giant snake in disbelief because she was actually lost in a physical exchange.
How embarrassing.
Facing the giant snake alone, Xiao Lingxi swallowed her saliva and clenched her spear nervously.
She breathed in and mumbled, "Nothingness Sutra."
There is no ripple in Xiao Lingxi's heart anymore.
She placed her spear back and thrust with all her might, sending a gray light out.
HISSS!
The snake's eyes widened in shock. It felt threatened by the gray light and had a death premonition.
After hurriedly dodging the spear light, the snake stared at Xiao Lingxi more seriously. The beast didn't expect this wimpy human to be this strong.
Then, a green-red light figure appeared above the snake.
"Mana Pulse Sutra - 3rd Stage: Eightfold Revolution!" Yona swung her war axe down, launching a wave of destructive energy.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
In the sky, Chu Yueli patted her forehead. "It's hard to believe both Xiao Lingxi and Yona are at the Spirit Profound Realm."
"As expected of the girls that Master picked. Even though their cultivation speed is slow, their strength is abnormal. They could even bully this Earth Profound Snake."
Xiao Lingxi and Yona fought the Red-Eyed Cold Snake fiercely, honing their amateurish skills rapidly.
Xiao Lingxi's polearm mastery has become much more skilled as she could fend off the snake and attack with thrust. Well, anyone could cross a spear and thrust a spear forward.
As for the artistic concept, Xiao Lingxi is far from reaching it.
On the other hand, Yona's berserker-like fighting style has become more restrained.
She didn't charge at the Red-Eyed Cold Snake like a fool anymore and waited for an opportunity before launching a heavy attack.
Around three hours later, Xiao Lingxi and Yona fell on the Red-Eyed Cold Snake's corpse. The Profound Beast has lost its breath of life.
"T-That was scary..." Xiao Lingxi clutched her chest, feeling her poor heart beating loudly.
"Mm, but it feels good," Yona smiled happily. She felt she had become more powerful.
Chu Yueli descended from the sky and clapped her hands, "Good, you two have potential."
"Let's have lunch on a nearby river."
"Mm!" 2x.
Chu Yueli brought Xiao Lingxi and Yona to the nearby river to rest and clean themselves. After that, they resumed their journey to the Demon Imperial City.
