Chapter 183: Defending Your Honor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as Yao Xiu found An Lin, his Zhuge Liang was being blasted to death by Luban No.7’s rocket. The shockwaves of the explosion went as far as to destroy his Nexus.
An Lin once again lost the battle.
As they took a break between games, Yao Xiu told them of everything she had learned regarding the three representatives of the Buddhist Kingdom.
“Phew, so fortunate. Now that I know the Buddhist Kingdom doesn’t have any kick-a.s.s cultivators of the Soul Formation Stage, I feel slightly more relaxed.” An Lin breathed a sigh of relief and looked toward Yao Xiu gratefully. “Yao Xiu, beautifully done!”
Having her wish fulfilled and being praised by An Lin, Yao Xiu instantly flushed red with excitement. She was so excited that she could barely breathe properly.
Heavens! G.o.d An praised me, G.o.d An praised me!!!
Yao Xiu was drunk with joy. In contrast, Liu Qianhuan curled her lips in disdain. “Regardless of whether the opponent is of the Spirit Nurturing Stage or of the Soul Formation Stage, if we’re to compete in League of Valor, I’ll definitely beat them!”
An Lin grimaced when he heard this. Sister, you’re living in la-la land . He sighed in his mind.
She was a hacker who modified her champion into an invincible being every time. If she could find a foreign representative to play with her, An Lin would live-stream himself eating sh*t.
After lamenting in his mind, An Lin continued playing League of Valor, the mish-mash game made up of League of Legends and Arena of Valor.
Why did he play this game with Sister Liu?
This was a long story.
No, he wasn’t a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t. Rather, he found that playing this game really could exercise his mind!
His opponent was an enemy who started off with freakish amounts of resources and buffs. How could he perform counterattacks and turn the tables when his skills were few in number and weak in power? This was a mental exercise in how to battle someone much more powerful than him!
During the game, he had to make use of his intelligent a.n.a.lyses and his dexterous hands. He needed to continuously acc.u.mulate battle experience and train his mind on how to beat invincible enemies.
These valuable experiences he had gained and the strong mindset he had developed were not merely restricted to the in-game realm. Rather, they could be transferred into reality and provide him with the mindset necessary to battle cultivators of higher ranks than him!
Moreover, he could cultivate while playing, thereby training his ability to mult.i.task. This was also very beneficial!
“Ah! Two hours are up, here are your spirit stones!”
Realizing the time, Liu Qianhuan retrieved 1000 spirit stones from her storage ring and handed them to An Lin.
An Lin elatedly accepted these spirit stones.
M-hm… Spirit stones were also part of the reason he played with her. After all, gaming partners also needed fees for their time and effort…
Considering the wasteful and extravagant way he spent spirit stones, Tyc.o.o.n An felt that he would eventually end up exhausting them all one day. Thus, he had to also work hard to come up with some revenue-generating methods.
There were only two days left until the opening ceremony of the Dao Exchange Conference of the Four Powers.
As the hosts of this conference, The United University of Cultivation had already announced a university-wide break.
An Lin estimated that if he rested less, he could earn around twenty thousand spirit stones just by gaming with Liu Qianhuan for the next two days.
Even to some large cultivation clans, this was a very significant amount of spirit stones. However, Liu Qianhuan tossed him these spirit stones without any hesitation at all.
An Lin even started to suspect that her family owned spirit stone mines. Otherwise, how did she have so many spirit stones to squander?
An Lin had even asked Liu Qianhuan about this once.
However, she didn’t give him a straight answer. Rather, she told him that due to some reasons, her relation with her clan wasn’t that great. Apart from having more spirit stones, she felt really hollow and void. Which was why An Lin should hang out and play games with her more often!
An Lin obviously wouldn’t believe her bogus story. He couldn’t be bothered to delve deeper into the matter either. All he needed to do was to accept her donations in peace.
As he was gaming, an explosion suddenly sounded in the distance.
“Huh? There are people fighting? Isn’t fighting on university grounds banned?” Out of curiosity, An Lin looked toward the direction of the explosion. Then, he saw a black sword intent rus.h.i.+ng toward the skies.
“Aiyah, what’s so interesting about that? It’s just a small-scale scuffle. Let’s continue our game!” There was a slight glimmer in Liu Qianhuan’s eyes. At the moment that An Lin was distracted, she had taken the opportunity and killed his champion once again.
As An Lin’s gaze remained fixed on the direction of the battle, he felt a familiar feeling itch at him. “Sister Liu, excuse my absence for a moment. It seems like an acquaintance of mine is over there!”
Saying this, he leaped onto his brick and flew off toward the direction of the battle.
“Hey… Hey! We still haven’t finished this game yet!”
Liu Qianhuan stomped her feet in frustration and flew off after An Lin on her six-feathered staff.
Boom!
The black sword intent slashed down. However, it was shattered by a rock golem who had flames bursting from his chest. After shattering the sword intent, the rock golem’s fist smashed into the black-robed male’s body, sending him reeling back and spitting blood.
“Humph! You dare provoke me with such meager power? Cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage are all this weak! The An Lin you speak of is no different!” The rock golem had an expression of disdain as he looked toward the collapsed male.
“Brother, are you okay?” A pretty girl ran over and helped the black-robed male up.
These two people were none other than the siblings, Yao Mingxi and Yao Xiu.
Yao Mingxi clutched at his chest and looked toward the humanoid rock golem coldly. “Heh. An Lin is no different? He doesn’t even need a single finger to crush you into a pulp!”
“Humph! I’ll see how long you can remain stubborn for!” The rock golem once again pounced toward Yao Mingxi.
Yao Mingxi pushed Yao Xiu aside. Faced with that vast and powerful aura, he didn’t take a backward step. Instead, he raised his sword and charged toward the rock golem.
“Brother!” Yao Xiu screamed while her eyes appeared bloodshot.
She knew that Yao Mingxi was beyond his limits already. If he continued on like this, he would definitely receive severe injuries.
However, Yao Mingxi still raised his sword and charged ahead fearlessly.
If it wasn’t for the rock golem slandering An Lin in public after learning that he was a representative for the Heavenly Court, Yao Mingxi wouldn’t have gone to such extreme lengths either…
The spectating students were also gritting their teeth and seething in anger as they looked towards the rock golem.
If it wasn’t for the fact that their cultivation base was far weaker than the rock golem’s, they would have also rushed over to pummel him.
“Stop!”
Seeing this scene as he flew over on his brick, An Lin instantly called out loudly.
He discovered that Yao Mingxi was already in a very bad state. If the two of them continued to battle, Yao Mingxi would definitely receive severe injuries!
“Expand! Expand! Expand!”
The black brick kept growing in size, eventually crus.h.i.+ng down at the rock golem with the weight of Mt. Tai!
Seeing the black brick that was descending upon him, the rock golem immediately smashed his fist toward it.
Boom!
A ma.s.sive shockwave blasted out over a hundred feet. The earth couldn’t endure this devastating power either as it cracked and caved in.
“Ahhh!” The black brick remained still and the rock golem started screaming in pain.
As if he had struck something insanely solid, his fist started to splinter and crack.
“Senior An Lin!” Yao Mingxi stared dazedly at the figure descending from the skies and his entire body trembled.
Yao Xiu covered her mouth in surprise and delight.
Seeing An Lin appearing so suddenly, the surrounding students also started to cheer. There was a pa.s.sionate glow in their eyes as they gazed at him.
“Yao Mingxi, what happened?” An Lin asked in curiosity. He turned around to face the exhausted male.
Private scuffles were against university rules. Yao Mingxi was most likely aware of this fact.
Hearing An Lin’s question, Yao Mingxi glowered at the rock golem. “When this rock golem learned that you’re a representative for the Heavenly Court and that you’re a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage, he proclaimed that the Heavenly Court had no prodigies left and could only pick trash to represent them. I overheard this and couldn’t contain my anger. So, I challenged him to a duel!”
An Lin grimaced. He finally understood now. Sure enough, foreign creatures unaware of the truth could cause huge ruckuses when they came into contact with r.e.t.a.r.ded superfans.
This commotion had arisen because of him. However, it would be quite difficult to diffuse this situation.
The rock golem pushed aside the black brick. Looking at An Lin, his battle intent raged. “You’re An Lin, that trash?”
An Lin: “…”
Alright… I’ve already been abused to such an extent.
An Lin was no pushover. He decided to take this matter into his own hands.
“Heh, I’m An Lin, your father!”
An Lin cracked a grin. Then, he unsheathed his Evil-Slaying Sword.
