Chapter 473 Xing Xue, the Second Person to Comprehend Supernatural Powers
Three hundred Nascent Soul cultivators were enraged!
But he only got angry for a moment.
Until the last hour ended, Rong Shu's "golden tortoise shell" remained intact. At most, a few times, faint ripples appeared on the surface, but they quickly returned to calm.
Rong Shu, besides refining several batches of pills, appeared relaxed and carefree.
In contrast, the three hundred Nascent Soul students were all exhausted, covered in sweat, and their limbs were weak.
Clearly, the outcome is already decided.
Rong Shu won the bet.
She immediately withdrew her supernatural powers, rubbed her hands excitedly, and accepted the list of three hundred people handed over by Duan Yuyan.
"Come on! No cheating allowed! Line up! If you're willing to bet, hand over the academy's resources!" Rong Shu shouted.
Collecting academy resources by one person is too slow, and it would also waste everyone's time, right?
Rong Shu thoughtfully called on Duan Yuyan and a few others to help her collect the spoils of war.
Three hundred people were dejected.
Even if they wanted to renege on their debt, they couldn't; they had no choice but to obediently provide the resources for the academy.
Just as Rong Shu was engrossed in calculating the accounts, a gruff male voice interrupted from afar:
"What's the point of bullying these Nascent Soul cultivators? Even if they come for a whole day and night, they probably still won't be able to break through your defenses."
Rong Shu turned his head and saw a male cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm falling from the sky.
With a thud, he crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Cough cough... Hahaha, I'm the first one here!" The male cultivator got up without caring and patted the dust off his robes.
A female cultivator arrived halfway and glared angrily at the male cultivator.
That kick I gave him was too good for him!
He actually took advantage of the situation and arrived at Zigui Garden first.
The male cultivator put his hands on his hips and said, "Rong Shu, my name is Xuanhe, and I am at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. I've come here to challenge you, the champion of this year's gathering of heroes, to a contest of supernatural abilities. Do you dare to compete? If you win, my academy resources for this month will be yours!"
Rong Shu tentatively asked, "This... Senior Brother Xuanhe, do you know Senior Brother Chenxin?"
Otherwise, there would be one Nascent Soul stage cultivator after another.
Why did they have to pick on a weak and pitiful freshman like her for a sparring match?
"So what if we know each other? Just tell me if you dare!" Xuanhe urged.
Suddenly, Xing Xue stepped forward, her gaze calm as she looked at Xuanhe, raising her sword in her left hand: "Sorry, our leader is tired of fighting, I can fight you instead."
Rong Shu had been practicing the "Lin" seal for three hours straight, and although on the surface it seemed effortless and stress-free.
But if Rong Shu really won so easily, why would he need to ask a few of them for help when settling accounts with the three hundred Nascent Soul students afterwards?
Clearly, this was the first time Rong Shu had used a supernatural technique for such a long time, and even with the support of elixirs, his spiritual sense was almost exhausted.
In this situation, there is no need for Rong Shu to deal with a second Nascent Soul stage senior.
"You?" Xuanhe asked uncertainly, "You're just at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, what supernatural abilities do you have? Go away..."
"What if... I had one?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a thin layer of frost quickly formed on the ground, pebbles, trees, ponds, and other surfaces around Xing Xue.
Soon, the air within a radius of several dozen feet became thin, dry, and cold.
Snowflakes fell softly, covering the Cuckoo Garden with a vast expanse of white.
"Ice magic... wait!"
Some students at the Nascent Soul stage tried to erect a spiritual energy shield to block the invasion of the cold air, but they could still feel a bone-chilling cold penetrating their hearts.
This chill... even Nascent Soul stage students can't withstand it!
Xuanhe's pupils contracted: "...How could this be? It's the aura of a supernatural power?!"
In contrast, Xing Xue remained calm.
Her greatest gain during her ten years at the Heavenly Pride Tower was a supernatural technique called [Extreme Cold Eternal Prison].
At first, Xing Xue was unaware that she had inherited the memories of a supernatural technique.
During the time after leaving the Tower of Pride, Rong Shu and the others gathered together and often sparred with each other to familiarize themselves with their newly improved combat power. On one occasion, Xing Xue tried to use the Extreme Cold Eternal Prison once, which was when Rong Shu noticed the clue.
During the ten years they spent cultivating in the Time Tower, Lu Zhuo, Xing Xue, Feng Qianli, and Si Chenbi all made their own gains.
Xing Xue's gain was the most enviable among them: she directly obtained the inheritance memory of a supernatural technique, which was equivalent to having a key, unlike others who had to create a key from scratch.
Therefore, Rong Shu and the others were not surprised at all, but were somewhat astonished that Xing Xue would expose herself so quickly, since Xing Xue was not the type to show off.
Xuanhe snapped out of his daze, a twitch appearing at the corner of his mouth: "You don't happen to have hidden cultivation levels either, do you?"
Xing Xue shook her head: "No."
She never concealed her cultivation level.
Aside from not using lethal moves, fighting and sparring is all about going all out.
The fighting was secretive and opaque, making it less enjoyable to fight.
Upon hearing this, Xuanhe was speechless and shocked.
Oh my god!
Why are you so calm?!
It's even more terrifying that they didn't hide their cultivation level!
Even at the Nascent Soul stage, one can access supernatural abilities that can only be comprehended at the Deity Transformation stage.
What incredible talent! What outrageous comprehension!
Xuanhe mentally screamed, "What on earth did this year's freshmen eat to grow up like this? Each one is more terrifying than the last!"
Not only Rong Shu and Xing Xue, but even Si Chenbi, who seemed the most inconspicuous and quiet, was not underestimated by anyone.
It should be noted that before this, while Feng Qianli and Xing Xue were relentlessly battling the veterans and fighting fiercely, Si Chenbi was not idle either.
The Bagua formation she manipulated completely outmaneuvered many of the less capable senior students.
From beginning to end, Si Chenbi was in control of the entire situation, multitasking and taking on a hundred men single-handedly. The pressure he had to bear was even greater than that of Feng Qianli and Xing Xue.
With Si Chenbi backing them up, Feng Qianli and Xing Xue could fight without restraint.
"How about it? Do I now have the qualifications to fight you?" Xing Xue's eyes burned with fighting spirit.
Xing Xue volunteered for the mission, both for Rong Shu and for herself.
She had not fully comprehended the supernatural power she had acquired, [Extreme Cold Eternal Prison], and could only use half of it, merely having its form.
If she could spar with a Nascent Soul cultivator who possesses supernatural abilities... perhaps it could help her gain some insights and break through!
"Alright! I'll play with you, Junior Sister!" After the initial shock, Xuanhe was overjoyed.
After all, Rong Shu has been fighting for so long, he must have been exhausted.
It would be better to fight Xing Xue!
"Junior sister, be careful then—"
Before the sound faded, the person had vanished without a trace.
Xing Xue's heart tightened. Suddenly, the wind and snow around her changed. Her instincts, forged from years of life-or-death struggles, made her draw her sword and swing it!
A blur flashed by, and only a whirlwind was shattered by the sword energy.
Xuanhe's laughter came from all directions: "Junior sister! Your sword doesn't seem to be that fast..."
Upon seeing this scene, Duan Yuyan, who was holding the ledger and register, knew something was wrong. He only had a few seconds to recall information about Xuanhe before immediately sending a telepathic message to Xing Xue:
[careful!]
[The Suspended River's supernatural power is related to speed! Don't give him a chance to run!]
