The moment Hua Xian’er’s stone platform stops moving, Wu Xiaotian immediately opens the system, moving as fast as he can to buy something that can fix Hua Xian’er’s issue, finding something in a matter of seconds after he searches for it.
[Regeneration Elixir (Pseudo Celestial Grade Medicine) (10,000 Universal Coins)]
[Allows the regeneration of any part of the body of a cultivator within the Half-step Celestial Realm at most. This will only be effective for normal damages, and damages inflicted through curses are not something this elixir could fix]
Buying it decisively, Wu Xiaotian immediately poured the entire content of the bottle to Hua Xian’er’s eyes, the bottle appearing out of nowhere piquing the curiosity and attention of everyone around him, yet his friends didn’t even ask him what that liquid was as they believe that he will never do anything that might harm the lady.
After not too long, Hua Xian’er eventually starts moving her eyelids again, blocking her eyes with her left hand as she was dazzled by the light of the sun, the sensation only sinking in after a few more seconds.
“I… I can see… HAHAHAHAHA, Tian, just what is it that you gave me huh?” excited at the discovery, she springs up from her position lying her head on Wu Xiaotian’s lap, turning around to hug him, her very own way of expressing just how much delighted she is by the things happening.
“I’ll explain it later, just clean yourself up for now, your face is covered by blood” Wu Xiaotian replied as he pats her on the back a few times, before pulling out a piece of cloth from his spatial ring and handing it to her.
“Thanks…” realizing what she just did, Hua Xian’er braved the waves and look at his worried face despite her frantically beating heart, trying her best to hide whatever it is that she’s currently feeling as she wets the cloth with a bottle of alcohol from her spatial ring before wiping her face clean.
Watching as she did everything with a swift motion, Wu Xiaotian just look at her stupefied, taking the empress-like lady a few moments to realize that the immortal-like young man is staring at her with quite the judging eyes.
“What? I heard that alcohol has quite the sanitary effects on it” she reasoned proudly as if it is something that is not commonly known.
“You don’t have any water don’t you?” Wu Xiaotian asked causing the lady to get flustered, listing dozens of reasons why she didn’t bring any water for this trip.
Hearing her acting like normal again, the other people from their group also join in on the conversation, laughing happily causing some of the people in the audience to get jealous of their bonds.
———-
“Please pair me with that Su Tian, please pair me with that Su Tian” amidst the three remaining participants except for Wu Xiaotian, a young man wished to be matched with him, the only one among the three wishing to fight him before the final round.
‘System, how many cross-realm points will I get if I fight with him’ thinking to himself, the young man asked, the question getting answered by a blue screen floating in front of him, the people around him not even reacting to this, as if he’s the only one who can see the floating screen.
[Ding!!! Based on the power the enemy revealed all through the tournament, the host can gain fifty cross-realm points with every exchange the host manage to survive, and a reward of one million cross-realm points if the host defeats the enemy]
‘How about that Lei Xing?’ he inquires again causing the text in the floating blue screen to change.
[Ding!!! Based on the power the enemy revealed all through the tournament, the host can gain ten cross-realm points with every exchange the host manage to survive, and a reward of fifty thousand cross-realm points if the host defeats the enemy]
As he read the prompt in front of him, the young man starts wishing to get paired up with who he thought is the strongest person in the competition, as he knows that whether he face Lei Xing or that immortal-like young man, he will definitely be defeated by them.
‘Hehehe, this will only be for a while, I have the system after all, so I am destined to be the protagonist of this world!!! After that, all the beauties here… hehehe’ as he got lost in his own world, the young man is only woken up by the mechanical voice announcing the start of the second to the last round, and the name getting announced along with his makes him tremble in joy.
“Congratulations to the remaining participants for passing the tenth round, now commencing the eleventh round. First match: Long Chen versus Su Tian”
As the two stone platforms joined, the young men facing each other holds different faces. The look of a hunter staring at his prey evident on Long Chen’s face, while Wu Xiaotian only sports an emotionless look while meeting gazes with his opponent.
‘Heh, soon, you will lose that aloof attitude of yours in front of me, you’re destined to be my money farm until I surpass you, HAHAHAHA’ while thinking of those words in his mind, Long Chen remains smiling outside, as if he’s someone who wouldn’t even hurt a blade of grass.
Given Wu Xiaotian’s experience with people in his previous life though, he already got a clear read of the young man in front of him, the type who got an arrogant disposition due to his blessings in life, someone who will definitely fit a template second generation young master role if he were given the opportunity to be one.
‘Besides, he looks at me like some sheep ready to be sheared’ he thought as he looks through the young man’s eyes, this feeling still quite unpleasant despite being pretty insignificant to him, just like a mosquito that continues attempting to suck blood from him despite killing its companions time and time again.
“Su Tian!!! Mark my words, I might be defeated by you today, but you will become my stepping stone in the future!!!” declaring confidently, Long Chen said with a proud voice, only getting the guts to say so as his system alarms him of life-threatening danger whenever he faces an enemy, and the young man in front of him never triggers said alarm.
Wu Xiaotian, hearing this, merely remains standing in his position, not even drawing the blade from its scabbard as he continues looking at his opponent.
‘Yep, definitely the arrogant young master type’ he thought to himself as he lowers his stance a bit, just enough to bend his knees but not enough for a significant change in the audience’s eyes.
“Can’t speak? You think I’m just bragging? Heheh, continue acting all mysterious, because this is the first and last time that you will defeat me in a fight!! You understa─” as he tries to continue his words, Long Chen was greeted by multiple prompts from his system warning him of something.
[Warning, massive killing intent locked on the host, it is recommended that the host evacuate the area]
[Warning, a massive amount of attack type qi is directed towards the host, assessment: lethal. It is highly advised that the host evacuate the area immediately]
Before he could even read the other prompts though, Long Chen’s eyes start rolling upwards as pain starts radiating from his abdomen, the last thing in his mind the voice of the system announcing something.
[Detected that the user clashed with a transcendent being!! Calculating cross-realm points awards… finished calculating, awards: -15000 cross realm points]
“Why… the fuck… is it negative…?” he muttered in his sleep while the stone platforms separate themselves, bringing him to his previous location while being looked at by the crowd.
