Chapter 58 - There is No Conspiracy in the Sect
"No need to worry about things we have no control over," I reassured Cao Wu. "We were just unlucky at the time, and at least my team leader came and saved me."
Cao Wu nodded, her gaze drifting towards my team, her eyes narrowing. She appeared confused before turning back to me. "Song Song saved you?"

After greeting her, I looked at the jade-like girl expectantly. Even if she was another reincarnator, it was no big deal for me. A reincarnator wasn't that different from any other cultivator around here, apart from the chance to sense Qi earlier. Even then, that advantage was usually offset by their softer demeanor. Growing up in a world where cruelty was no...

“Are you listening to me?” She snapped her fingers, drawing my attention away from the bloodied jade-like beauty. “Anyway, as you know, the nose is there, and your eyes can actually see it. But subconsciously, they ignore it.”
“Okay?”
“No, that is not okay!” Song Song put a hand on my shoulder. “The nose is still there, blocking...

As the jade-like girl broke through, the Qi around her swelled, dispelling any lingering fatigue. Her gaze sharpened once more, emanating a readiness to kill. The grass surrounding her froze in place, cracking audibly, and within moments, ice spread from her, encasing the ground beneath her feet. The freezing effect extended towards us.

The dark night enveloped the forest, with only the half-moon offering a faint glimmer of light. Yet, it was inadequate, and the trees loomed ominously like silhouettes against the darkness. Moving at my maximum speed, I had little time to evade the small branches that snagged my clothes and grazed my skin.
The biting cold permeated the surroundings and seeped ...

The newcomer landed softly on the grass, making no noise as she did so. Her sharp blue eyes shifted from the girl beside me before settling on me.
"You are free to go," she said, her tone sounding more like an order than a request.
Now, I really should have been getting the hell away from here. I was no brave hero; quite the opposite...

Many assumptions were running through my mind. Some were based on logic, like pondering if this guy could be from a famous family, perhaps sent to gain worldly experience. Others were more rooted in superstition, born out of reading xianxia novels.
Usually, I wouldn't indulge in such superstitions. Still, superstitions had already save...

The question of the day was: how would I find someone talented here?
Talented people came in many forms. Just because someone might perform poorly in the entrance exam and be weak during that time did not mean they were less talented. After all, some could have had more resources before coming to the sect, and others hadn’t.

As my team departed, I adjusted the mask on my face, tugging at it slightly to ensure its secure fit. Only by touching a specific array under the mask on the right side of my face could someone remove it.

My chubby friend, Yong Cho, smiled as he tightened his grip on the other guy's wrist and tugged forward. With the same momentum, he delivered a punch to the guy's face, and a nasty crunching sound rang out as the disciple who had attacked first fell to the ground with a bloodied mug.

There was a time when I spared the three bandits, and I didn't regret it despite how things had turned out. There was no universal rule dictating that good actions would be rewarded. That simple act of deciding to spare three brothers led to a bunch of trouble.

Finding someone talented based on appearance alone was an impossible task. But I kept an eye on interesting-looking people, like the red-haired guy.

We arrived at a small town near the sea. The place had high walls, much bigger than the ones in Greengrass Town, and there were even some giant crossbow-like weapons atop the walls, dozens pointed at the front gates in case anyone wanted to cause trouble.
The guards approached us and scrutinized our uniforms. Before one of them could speak, ...

Even with the beasts charging at us and the Qi disturbance around, making it impossible for arrays to be erected, it showed just how crucial it was to have my own Qi pool to create these things. This wouldn't be a problem otherwise.
I knew about a dozen arrays since learning new ones always took time. But since the Qi was above ground.....

Although my arrays were shoddy at best when used mid-battle and nowhere near the level the librarian had taught me, Qi was still Qi, and the battle against the monstrous beasts attacking our group ended with only some slight injuries on our side.
