Chapter 20 Practical Application of Spells
Back in the training room, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but gasp for breath.
The feeling of escaping death is truly exhilarating!
If it weren't for the Spirit Lake Formation's ability to conceal his aura, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape the Azure Thunder Tiger's senses, let alone use the power of the Ten Directions Chaos Gate to traverse space and escape.
After calming down, Chen Beiwu looked at Tie Dan.
At this moment, it was standing in front of him with its tail between its legs, its body trembling uncontrollably.
Chen Beiwu reached out and patted the dog's head, reassuring it, "Don't worry, it's alright now."
Iron Egg may have messed things up a bit this time, but its loyalty is beyond question.
Ordinary beasts would have been terrified and fled at the sight of a second-realm demon, but the fact that Tie Dan was able to stand in front of it shows that it possesses an excellent quality: loyalty!
Tie Dan whimpered, a hint of lingering fear flashing in his dog eyes.
It never expected that its attempt to catch snakes would lead it to the territory of the Azure Thunder Tiger.
"Woof," Tie Dan growled in explanation.
Chen Beiwu's expression shifted: "You mean you haven't come to the wrong place?"
"Woof!"
"The Emerald Scales are on the central island of Spirit Lake, and there are an unusually large number of them?"
"Woof!" Tie Dan nodded.
"That makes things difficult." Chen Beiwu frowned.
Every plant has some degree of poison.
To prevent the accumulation of elixirs in the body, which would weaken the foundation and make it difficult to pass the three stages of Foundation Establishment, cultivators with any ambition in the Immortal Alliance would not consume too many pills during the Qi Refining stage. At most, they would take one or two pills when breaking through the barrier of their realm, and then slowly clear the elixirs from their bodies.
This is why Chen Beiwu only cut off a slice of the black gold ginseng instead of eating the whole thing.
However, cultivators from poor families do not have such concerns. They consume pills like crazy, focusing on breaking through to a higher realm, even if they often get stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining and miss the chance to establish their foundation.
The reason Chen Beiwu was so interested in the Azure Scale Serpent Gallbladder was because it was one of the very few rare beast materials that could be used during the Qi Refining stage without damaging the cultivator's foundation, and it also had the effect of strengthening the foundation and cultivating vitality.
Spiritual materials like the gallbladder of the Emerald Scaled Serpent, which can nourish the spirit and temper the body without causing any harm, are generally only available to geniuses from families of cultivators.
But no matter how good the treasure is, you have to be alive to enjoy it. The Azure Thunder Tiger is not a monster that can be easily bullied.
Unless Chen Beiwu can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, he will absolutely not approach the Spirit Lake again, let alone go to the central island of the Spirit Lake to catch snakes.
"It's a pity my grandfather passed away so early, otherwise that spiritual lake would have been an excellent place for cultivation," Chen Beiwu thought regretfully.
He may not be able to beat Cang Leihu, but in the world of gangsters, it's not just about strength, but also about background.
If my grandfather were still alive, killing a Thunder Tiger and taking over that Spirit Lake wouldn't be a problem.
Suppressing his wild thoughts, Chen Beiwu shook his head and turned his gaze to Tie Dan. "Besides Spirit Lake, are there any other places with Emerald Scales?"
"Woof."
Tie Dan blinked, indicating that they could search, but the snake's aura was too weak, especially a snake that was lurking.
If it searches one by one, it is very likely to find the wrong snake.
"Alright, go and get some rest."
I glanced at the faint sunlight streaming in through the window; there was still an hour before class.
Chen Beiwu waved for Tie Dan to leave, then began his daily morning study session before heading off to school.
This morning was our homeroom teacher Wang Kui's Beast Taming class, which was a long-awaited practical training session.
"Chen Beiwu, Xu Ziqing!"
As soon as Wang Kui finished speaking, the boys in the class instantly focused their attention on the practice platform.
Previously, Chen Beiwu had not yet broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, and in practical combat classes, he was always suppressed by Xu Ziqing, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Now that the former has broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he will definitely go all out to get rid of the title of perennial runner-up.
In order to maintain his first-place ranking in the grade, the latter might resort to the secret techniques of the Xu family of the Meteor Dragon Clan.
They wouldn't miss this rare opportunity to watch the game!
After all, with most of the classmates' cultivation levels stuck at the fourth level of Qi Refining, Chen Beiwu and Xu Ziqing, who were at the seventh level of Qi Refining, were practically experts. Watching them fight would definitely provide a lot of practical experience.
Noticing the eager gazes around him, Chen Beiwu thought to himself, "This is troublesome."
Having experienced battles in another world, he had absolutely no interest in childish magical combat.
Xu Ziqing stood in the center of a group of girls, her gaze fixed on Chen Beiwu.
She lightly touched the ground with her toes, her sleeves fluttering in the wind as she gracefully landed on the combat platform, facing Chen Beiwu from afar.
"Go for it, Beiwu! Beat the number one, and you'll be number one!"
Suddenly, a cheering voice rang out from the crowd.
Xu Ziqing's expression changed, and her gaze instantly locked onto Xu Lingling, who was sitting on the stage with a serious expression.
Upon seeing this, the latter pretended not to know, his gaze unconsciously wandering to both sides.
"quiet."
After saying that, Wang Kui strode to the center of the battlefield and looked at Chen Beiwu and the other man: "You two choose the left or right side. Since this is a practical combat sparring match of magic, whoever triggers the protective talisman is considered the loser."
Chen Beiwu and Xu Ziqing nodded.
"Battle begins!"
As soon as the homeroom teacher finished speaking, Xu Ziqing sprang into action.
With a flick of her fingers, she formed a hand seal, and a blazing pillar of fire erupted from beneath Chen Beiwu's feet. The heat emanating from the pillar caused some students standing in the front row to instinctively step back.
"Too slow!"
Chen Beiwu activated his special technique of controlling the wind, ignoring the exploding pillar of fire behind him, and approached Xu Ziqing with lightning speed, then formed the "Water Mist Technique" hand seal.
In an instant, a thick fog enveloped the combat platform, and Xu Ziqing's vision was completely obscured by white mist.
"It's that trick again. Can't you come up with something different?" Xu Ziqing drew her right finger downwards, and three menacing fire pythons immediately tore through the surrounding mist, protecting her from all angles.
"The trick may be old, but it works." A deep, resonant male voice echoed from all directions of the mist.
The next second, Chen Beiwu's figure quietly appeared behind Xu Ziqing.
The latter's eyes narrowed, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and his right-hand hand seal immediately changed.
"Blazing Flame!"
Three menacing fire pythons suddenly surrounded Chen Beiwu, transforming into thirty-six light orange fire lines that blocked his retreat.
"Boom!"
As a violent roar resounded, Xu Ziqing slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
The explosion that just happened seemed powerful, but its destructive power was actually quite average.
Because this duel was a practical exchange rather than a fight to the death, she deliberately controlled the leakage of her spells, so that she could use the protective talisman carried by Chen Beiwu to win the match.
However, the next second, to Xu Ziqing's astonishment, a light golden defensive barrier quietly appeared, which was the effect of the talisman automatically activating to protect its owner.
She turned around and saw a thin blade, formed from a miniature stream of water, hovering silently two inches from her neck, blocked by a defensive barrier.
At the same time, in the center of the combat platform, two figures, one in front and one behind, suddenly turned into flowing water and disappeared.
"The outcome is decided!" Class teacher Wang Kui declared.
The students watching from the sidelines looked at each other in disbelief and exclaimed in astonishment.
"Didn't Bei Wu just break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining a few days ago? How come he's already mastered the first-tier high-grade Water Gathering Technique!"
