Chapter 104: Dark Vraksha
From the moment everyone landed in the Designated zone, everything was already broadcast on the four giant screens for everyone to see. There were boxes which showed every disciple and what they were doing.
Then, there was a big box that showed the most interesting thing happening in the designated zone.
There were also commentators, apparently, who came after Ning Xi announced everything, and currently, they were sitting on the pedestal, commenting on everything.
They were two beautiful young ladies with a melodious voice that was sweet to hear. They were conversing with each other while commenting.
"Hmm, Zhang Fei from Twitter Sect is also doing good. He had already slain two Tier 2 Spiritual Creatures and have 11 points on him. He's currently the top...wait, second top in terms of points."
"Hoho, who is first then? Ah! It's someone from the newly added Divine Harem Sect, Ying Yue. She really is shining in their debut tournament."
"Indeed, but it's just the beginning. We'll have to see more. Let's take a look at Bai Li, one of the seeded participants who is said to be almost guaranteed in the second round."
"Of course, he is. Aren't you seeing how he is fighting the Darkfang Serpent? I doubt anyone in the participants can do that..."
While they were conversing, other sects were also focused on the giant screens, watching their disciples' fights. Their future depended on them, after all.
Shen Yu and others were having a chill discussion because they were completely confident in Ying Yue. They knew her well enough to know that she would come out on top.
Xiao Lan looked at Bai Li's fight and said.
"He's not bad. He has already Cultivated The Three-Legged Roc body to a high degree. However, he still hasn't achieved anything good though."
"Indeed, but he's only at Foundation Realm, so that's really the best he can achieve, well, at least according to normal standards."
Shen Yu nodded in agreement as he looked at Xiao Lan sitting in his lap. Of course, he was more than happy for such treatment.
He didn't question how Xiao Lan knew so much about the Three-Legged Roc body because she had spent a lot of time in the Library. She would either study in the Library or practice in her personal space; that's all she had done in the past month. He was proud of her for working so hard despite having a talent that defied the world.
'Aye! My wives are not only talented but also hard workers. I pity their opponents.'
He looked at the screen and saw that Bai Li had won, even though he had suffered some injuries. But they were fine; after all, defeating a Darkfang Serpent wasn't easy.
However, he was looking at it for different reasons, as he caught sight of a figure that he was sure nobody had noticed. It was Ying Yue who was standing at the side, observing everything.
'Nice! Absorb everything from your opponents. That's how you win.'
He could guess what Ying Yue was doing, and he felt happy. But the screen then shifted to a lonesome woman with long white hair who was running in an empty forest.
Looking at that place, he felt a little weird, as if something was wrong there. He narrowed his eyes, and when he saw the vine attacking her, he instantly recognised the Spiritual Creature.
He sighed as he thought.
'What bad luck to encounter a Tier 4 Spiritual Creature at the start, and Dark Vraksha at that. Xi'er, I think you'll need to see it this time.'
"Huh! What's that Spiritual Creature, Master?"
Zhi Yan asked, looking at how the white-haired woman was fighting. For some reason, she felt weird looking at her fighting. She felt sluggish and as if she was a Qi Refining Realm Cultivator.
"Yes, why did their Sect send such a weak disciple? If I remember correctly, Water Lilly Sect is quite high in the rankings."
A blonde-haired beauty from the sides titled her head and asked. She was one of his disciples who had joined alongside Song Junwan and others.
Shen Yu smiled and tapped on Xiao Lan's thighs, and asked.
"Do you know about it?"
Xiao Lan smiled and nodded as she began to explain.
"From how things are going, it's definitely a Dark Vraksha."
"Dark Vraksha? I never heard of it..."
"The world is big, and humans have not even encountered 10% of the Spiritual Creatures found in the world. So, it's natural that you don't know something rare. Just read the books in the Library, and you'll know a lot of things."
Xiao Lan wasn't even lying at this point. She had indeed studied in the Library and found things she didn't even know of, even of the Divine Realm where she had spent her whole life.
'Well, it's guarded by someone like her, so of course the information stored there is far more precious than anything else.'
Zhi Yan nodded and said.
"I'll do it, but can you explain about this Dark Vraksha, Senior Sister?"
"No problem. The Dark Vraksha is actually a very Weak Spiritual Creature compared to others in its Tiers. I'm sure this one is a Tier 4, and that's why Sister Ning put it there because it can be slain by Foundation Realm Cultivators. However, there is a catch."
Xiao Lan grinned and explained.
"The Dark Vraksha is actually a tree-type Spiritual Creature and can not leave its place easily. Even if it did, the speed would be very slow, making it an easy target. And it also doesn't have any strong attacks, as you can already see. However, its strength lies in the dark blood it produces. Now, that is dangerous."
She sighed and continued.
"The Dark blood only needs to be in contact with your skin, and it'll enter your skin through the pours through which we absorb Qi. But that way, it reaches the meridians and gets mixed in Qi. And you know how Qi works in our body and how we circulate it around it. That creates a perfect opportunity for the Dark Vraksha to strike you."
