You Sure Talk a Lot!

"Lin Xiuya seems to have been careless. Your strength is not bad, but that's all."

After exchanging over a hundred blows, Liu Qing felt he knew Yang Shan very well. "However, in the Outer Courtyard, you are indeed a rare genius. It's a pity that you are not qualified to let me use a gun!"

Liu Qing's right hand once again formed a claw. "I don't want to waste any more time, junior brother. After entering the Inner Courtyard, you should hear about 'One Entanglement, One Qi, One Claw, One Spear.' Losing because of 'One Claw' isn't a complete loss for you. I'll let you see a true Mystic Rank Advanced Dou Skills!"

The powerful Earth Attribute Dou Qi gradually gathered, and an invisible force formed a faint arc of light in front of the claws.

The trees within a radius of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) seemed to be affected by this force, their leaves fluttering down.

Its power is truly terrifying! "Great Coffin Splitting Claw!"

Liu Qing roared angrily, his claws seemingly capable of tearing the earth apart:

"Junior, aren't you going to use your Dou Qi Armor yet?"

As soon as Liu Qing finished speaking, he could no longer move his hands and feet.

Six purple lightning chains tightly bound Liu Qing's body.

Yang Shan stood in front of Liu Qing, looking at him calmly. "You talk too much!"

Liu Qing: "."

Yang Shan's "Wrathful Thunder Mystic Skill" has no combat recovery effect, and its total amount of Dou Qi is even less than that of purple-level techniques of the same level.

However, its Dou Qi Intensity is much higher than that of others of the same level!

In addition, there are the Meridians points from various Global Announcement along the way.

Even though Liu Qing also cultivates Mystic Rank Advanced Skill with Golden Word Seal, and his level is five stars higher than Yang Shan's, Liu Qing's Dou Qi Intensity is absolutely no match for Yang Shan's!

The Mystic Rank Intermediate Dou Skills, "Thunder Guiding Lock," has a time limit affected by the Dou Qi Intensity.

Locking Liu Qing place for more than three seconds is absolutely no problem! But Yang Shan doesn't intend to kick a man when he's down at this moment.

Because Liu Qing's Dou Qi Armor has not been activated yet.

He believed that, as Earth Attribute cultivator, Liu Qing's Dou Qi Armor must have an absurdly high Vitality Shield! Yang Shan wasn't confident he could break through Liu Qing's Dou Qi Armor in one go.

Therefore, he specifically used the "Thunder Guiding Lock" for only one purpose: to disrupt Liu Qing's mentality! To make Liu Qing constantly wary of this move in the subsequent battles! As long as Liu Qing's mind is in turmoil, Yang Shan can find an opportunity to use the "Thunder Spirit Flash" to place his blade at Liu Qing's throat before Liu Qing activates his Dou Qi Armor! He deliberately didn't use any advanced sword techniques beforehand to lull his opponent into a false sense of security.

The current "Thunder Guiding Lock" is used to disrupt the opponent's mindset.

Yang Shan, that Old Schemer, is slowly accumulating advantages on his side using all sorts of outrageous methods.

Liu Qing was completely unaware of this.

As the third Strong Ranking, he would never have imagined that he would be defeated by a junior who was only Four-Star Dou Ling and had not yet entered the inner sect!

What Liu Qing was thinking right now was actually very simple.

"You talk too much!"

"You talk too much!"

"You talk too much!"

Liu Qing was completely devastated.

His reputation as the Tyrant Spear Liu Qing" was earned through countless battles!

Who in the Inner Courtyard is not afraid of him?

Now you're being mocked for talking too much by a Four-Star Dou Ling? "Open for me!"

Liu Qing's Meridians were frantically circulating his Dou Qi.

He released his Dou Qi, which shook open the purple lightning chains.

"Junior, you really are a troublemaker. Perfect, I love teaching troublemakers a lesson!"

Very good!

Liu Qing was completely out of control.

If the chance of winning was only 20% previously.

Now it must be at least 35 percent!

If we set another trap for this guy, maybe we'll be 50% successful!

I just don't know how many Fire Energy Points will be gained if Liu Qing is defeated.

Liu Qing did not act rashly.

Previously, he mostly used one hand.

But now it seems that we have to use both hands.

Although Liu Qing really wanted to teach Yang Shan a lesson, he couldn't ignore Yang Shan's strange restrictive Dou Technique.

However, Liu Qing was still unwilling to lower himself to use the Dou Qi Armor first.

Liu Qing dominated the Inner Courtyard, excelling in both offense and defense. Facing a Four-Star Dou Ling, he activated his Dou Qi Armor first, leaving Liu Qing too ashamed to return.

The atmosphere became tense once again.

Both had their own thoughts and were preparing for another battle!

Just then, a rustling sound, like footsteps on leaves, came from the ground.

Liu Qing couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Xiao Xun'er walked with her hands behind her back, skipping along, seemingly in a very good mood.

Behind her, Lin Xiuya looked like a defeated rooster.

His shoulders seemed too weak to support him, and he looked somewhat dejected.

Liu Qing: "You, Lin Xiuya, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Xiuya spoke with a weak and listless tone:

"Let's go, stop fighting."

Liu Qing frowned deeply:

"Why did you stop fighting?"

Lin Xiuya: "If we're going to fight, only Senior Sister Zi Yan can do it."

Liu Qing: "."

Xiao Xun'er walked up to Yang Shan, her previously faint smile seeming to fade slightly:

"Yang Shan."

Yang Shan: "I knew my senior was amazing! Unbeatable!"

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior Brother Yang Shan, I'm sorry, I..."

Xiao Xun'er stretched out her hand, and in her palm, the cyan Magic Core was covered with cracks.

Xiao Xun'er: "I was worried you couldn't win, so I got a little anxious and exhausted my Beast Flame essence."

Yang Shan laughed nonchalantly, "It's alright, it's broken, it's broken."

Yang Shan cried out in his heart, "My Beast Flame! My fourth-tier Beast Flame!"

"I don't believe it!"

Liu Qing didn't know what had happened, but he was all too aware of Lin Xiuya's abilities.

Look at Lin Xiuya's miserable state! The aura that Xiao Xun'er revealed earlier was clearly only that of Four-Star Dou Ling! How could he accept this?

Liu Qing even brought out his real weapon:

Mountain Splitting Spear! Thump! The Mountain Splitting Spear slammed into the ground, creating a large crater. "If you can't do it, then I will!"

"Don't!"

Lin Xiuya grabbed Liu Qing's shoulder:

"Just do me a favor."

Liu Qing glanced at Lin Xiuya, then at Xiao Xun'er, and whispered:

"You don't actually have a crush on this junior, do you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go!"

Lin Xiuya pulled Liu Qing back, but he was still unwilling to give up. He asked, "Junior sister, I am convinced of your strength. May I know your name?"

But Xiao Xun'er did not answer Lin Xiuya.

Two older students ganged up on her junior.

Why bother with them?

Yang Shan really didn't expect Lin Xiuya to be defeated so quickly.

It seems that Xiao Xun'er is only Four-Star Dou Ling on the surface.

However, in terms of actual combat strength, even without considering the Golden Emperor Burning Flame, he should be able to fight against Dou Wang, and might even be able to defeat a low- Dou Wang.

Yang Shan sighed:

"Ah, it's so nice to take shelter under a big tree."

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior, why do you say that?"

Yang Shan: "I fought tooth and nail, walking on thin ice, not knowing the odds of winning. But my senior sister did it so effortlessly, easily defeating everyone. If it weren't for her, I would have been defeated today!"

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior brother is very good at praising people."

Yang Shan: "My senior isn't very good at praising people."

Xiao Xun'er: "Hmm, I rarely praise people."

Actually, Xiao Xun'er probably doesn't talk much to others on a regular basis.

Xiao Xun'er probably didn't even realize that she had changed her way of addressing Yang Shan from "Yang Shan, junior" to "junior".

The meaning is the same, but the implications are quite different.

Whether in the Outer Courtyard or Inner Courtyard, given Xiao Xun'er's constant attention to politeness, she is destined to address many people as "Junior Brother XX" in the future.

But if you remove the name and only leave the words "junior," Xiao Xun'er will get used to saying it.

From now on, the title "junior" will be equivalent to Yang Shan.

Using "Junior Brother XX" can be polite, but addressing someone as "junior brother" without using their name is an acknowledgment of their status.

[Ding! Your interaction with Xiao Xun'er made Xiao Xun'er feel comfortable and at ease. Xiao Xun'er's favorability towards you has increased by 2. Current favorability: 4.]

Yang Shan: "Hey, by the way, where's Hu Jia?"

Xiao Xun'er: "She can't stand that you're better than her, so she went to cause trouble for those senior students on her own."

Yang Shan: "How many senior students did you meet along the way, senior?"

Xiao Xun'er: "I ran into a team, I think their name was something like Bai."

Yang Shan: "The White Killing Squad?"

Xiao Xun'er nodded. "It seems to be that name."

Yang Shan: "Good heavens, the entire Inner Courtyard has been wiped out."

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior brother, let's go to the Inner Courtyard and wait for Instructor Ruo Lin. I'll compensate you for the Magic Core later, okay?"

Yang Shan: "Why don't you give me a chance?"

Xiao Xun'er: "The Ghoul Lord Token?"

Yang Shan: "Mm."

Xiao Xun'er thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

At this moment, Ling Ying, Eight Star Dou Huang who had been hiding in the shadows and responsible for protecting Xiao Xun'er's safety, watched his young lady chat with Yang Shan for a long time and was very pleased. "After being away from the clan for so long, the young lady finally has friends."

Within the clan, Xiao Xun'er is the high-ranking clan leader's beloved daughter, possessing the strongest Dou Di Bloodline.

Having experienced life in the world, Xiao Xun'er found that most of the men she met had special feelings for her.

Most of the women were also jealous of Xiao Xun'er's looks and temperament.

In addition, Xiao Xun'er's personality has led to her not having any friends to this day.

I've never had a friend with whom I could truly set aside my status and communicate on an equal footing.

In Ling Ying's view, isn't this a kind of tragedy?

Just as Ling Ying was sighing, Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er had finished their exchange.

Xiao Xun'er was actually well aware that she absolutely did not want to use force to take away Yang Shan's Ghoul Lord Token.

But if the matter of the Ghoul Lord Token is left to drag on like this, it will only be a waste of time.

Yang Shan took out a fourth-tier Beast Flame that was extremely precious to him. Even though the Magic Core shattered, Yang Shan didn't blame anyone.

This made Xiao Xun'er feel somewhat guilty towards Yang Shan.

Therefore, she was willing to give Yang Shan a chance.

An opportunity for two people to decide who owns the Ghoul Lord Token without any conflict.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for triggering a special storyline – "Junzi Pact with Xiao Xun'er": The player has one opportunity to ask Xiao Xun'er for help, with the special item "Ghoul Lord Token" as the reward.]

The plot is actually quite simple.

Yang Shan can ask Xiao Xun'er to do something, and Xiao Xun'er can ask Yang Shan to do something, with each of them receiving half of the Ghoul Lord Token as payment.

Whoever speaks first must produce the Ghoul Lord Token.

While the Azure Jade Python Flame of the Fourth Order Thousand Beast King was indeed precious, Yang Shan still felt it was a great deal to exchange it for such an opportunity.

Although Yang Shan felt that with Xiao Xun'er's abilities, it would be difficult for her to ask him for help.

But what if? Even if it doesn't work, he can use the Ghoul Lord Token to ask the young lady of the Ancient Clan for help. With Yang Shan's silver tongue, he can at least get Ling Ying, the Eight Star Dou Huang Ling Ying in the shadows, to do something!

The two traveled together, heading north without encountering any further obstacles.

I specifically looked back and found that the Fire Energy Hunting Competition in the original novel has twenty chapters.

Well, so finishing in six chapters shouldn't be too slow.
