Qi Tian's Apology

The Man-eating Flower was three to four meters tall, making Fang Bai and the others look like raw recruits in front of it!

The group channeled the Exotic Energy within their bodies, focusing their attention.

"Roar~"

The Man-eating Flower's terrifying, jagged mouth opened, thick saliva dripping down. It then lunged towards Fang Bai and the others!

"Go!"

Fang Bai charged forward, gripping his battle saber!

Xiao Yuan was the first to charge. His chest was covered in earth armor as he leaped up, fist smashing towards the Man-eating Flower's stem.

His massive fist struck it, but Xiao Yuan was instead sent staggering backward.

His Exotic Energy was still at the First Order level, making it difficult to break through the Second Order's defense.

However, this did restrict the Man-eating Flower's movements.

Suddenly, the space behind it trembled. A Xiu appeared with a blank expression, her saber slashing down!

Although A Xiu was also First Order, she possessed innate divine strength. Her saber successfully left a mark on the Man-eating Flower!

"Roar!"

The Man-eating Flower cried out in pain and thrashed wildly. Several vines suddenly burst from the ground, lashing out at the four of them!

"Eight-Part Light Wheel!"

Qi Tian's attack finally arrived. With Second Order power, it instantly severed the vines!

"Old Bai, now's your chance, stuff it in its mouth!"

Qi Tian shouted.

Fang Bai's agile figure darted behind the Man-eating Flower. He channeled his Exotic Energy, leaping three to four meters into the air.

"Lightning Pellet! Instant Burst!"

A basketball-sized lightning ball was directly shoved into the Man-eating Flower's mouth.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

As the lightning power raged, the Man-eating Flower spat out a cloud of thick smoke, its aura immediately weakening.

"Xiao Yuan!"

Fang Bai suddenly called out.

"I'm coming!"

Xiao Yuan sprinted forward. His tall frame stomped on the ground, causing a tremor. He then leaped high into the air before crashing down directly onto the Man-eating Flower!

Dust billowed everywhere as the other three youths, blades in hand, surrounded it and hacked away!

The Man-eating Flower let out a miserable shriek and was chopped to death by a flurry of blades!

It felt as if it had arrived in a place called Causeway Bay, where a group of thugs mercilessly hacked at it hundreds of times, each blow fatal!

After dealing with the Man-eating Flower, the four of them collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

"Damn! That was intense!"

Qi Tian simply lay down, completely exhausted.

Fang Bai stood up and walked to the Man-eating Flower's corpse. After excavating the valuable parts, he stored the body in his Space Ring.

"Old Bai, why are you collecting its corpse?"

Qi Tian asked curiously.

Fang Bai grinned, "This is a Second Order Demonic Beast. Its corpse should be worth quite a bit. I'll sell it, and we'll split the money."

He needed a lot of resources for his future cultivation, so he might as well get as much as he could while the opportunity arose.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Second Order Man-eating Flower, obtaining a small amount of Exotic Energy!]

[First kill of a Second Order Demonic Beast, receive an additional reward: Lightning attribute skill - Lightning Domain!]

[Lightning Domain: Within the domain, lightning power is amplified by 50%! Current domain range: 10 meters. (Note: As the host's strength increases, the domain range can expand!)]

The system's notification sounded in Fang Bai's mind, startling him.

Did he count as killing it?

He hadn't killed the Man-eating Flower alone, but the system had still credited him for it!

"Old Bai, what are you spacing out for? Let's go!"

Qi Tian's reminder rang out.

"Oh, oh, coming."

The four of them didn't linger and quickly departed.

As dusk fell, Fang Bai and the other three found a cave to prepare for the night.

"We'll take turns on watch. Xiao Yuan, you go first. The rest of you can rest."

After making arrangements, Fang Bai, Qi Tian, and A Xiu entered the cave.

Using Lightning power to start a fire, Fang Bai directly took out a piece of Demonic Wolf meat and put it on to roast.

Qi Tian clicked his tongue and sighed, "I never imagined I'd end up in a situation like this."

Thinking about it, the three of them were still shaken. During the day, their adrenaline was pumping and they were excited, but now that things had calmed down, they felt a sense of fear.

A Xiu hugged her knees, staring blankly at the campfire.

Fang Bai glanced at her and said, "You could clearly enjoy life, so why did you have to join a Martial Academy?"

Qi Tian shrugged and replied, "On one hand, I'm a Martial Artist, and to improve my strength, I naturally have to join a faction. On the other hand, I don't want to be a decadent noble."

Fang Bai clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "If I had half your assets, I'd probably just live a life of leisure and wait to die."

Before awakening his system, Fang Bai had indeed thought that way.

He would study diligently, and after two and a half years, he would participate in the National Exam and get into a good academy.

Then, whenever the Demonic Beasts attacked, he would just leave it to fate!

However, fortunately, fate had not forgotten to favor him.

This was his first time killing a Demonic Beast. Normally, he hadn't even killed a chicken, but after awakening his special ability, he had spent money to train at a martial arts gym. Combat was instinctual; perhaps he was a warlike person deep down.

Qi Tian shrugged, "We might be the most special students in the Martial Academy. Who else starts by fighting for their lives against Demonic Beasts like us? Speaking of which... Old Bai, do you even know how to grill meat? It's all burnt!"

"Heh heh, sorry, sorry. It's my first time grilling meat, I don't have much experience..."

"Wow, then why do you look so skilled?"

As night fell, the three began to rest, extinguishing the fire.

Because of the roars of beasts coming from not far away, it was clear that those Demonic Beasts were out and about.

At the cave entrance, A Xiu leaned against a rock, her small hand clutching the pendant around her neck.

Suddenly, her expression turned cold, and she sharply looked in one direction: "Who's there?"

A figure emerged from the cave, whispering, "It's me."

A Xiu's expression didn't change; she remained cold, "Pervert!"

Qi Tian: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly, "Sis, that time was really an accident!"

A Xiu snorted.

Just as Qi Tian was about to sit down next to A Xiu, a knife suddenly appeared, pointed directly at his crotch.

Qi Tian: "..."

A Xiu said calmly, "Sit over there!"

Qi Tian had no choice but to move further away from her.

"A Xiu, I came mainly to apologize. Last time, I really didn't mean to, and I really didn't see anything..."

He paused, his gaze flicking to a certain part of A Xiu's body, and he thought to himself: You don't really have much either...

But to be fair, some of A Xiu's skin was quite fair...

A Xiu said calmly, "Mm, I know."

Qi Tian's eyes lit up: "So you really forgive me?"

A Xiu glanced at him.

Qi Tian said seriously, "I'm doing this for the sake of our team. After all, we're teammates now, and we can't have any conflicts. Otherwise, we could die here by accident. So, we need to eliminate anything that's detrimental to unity."

A Xiu nodded: "I understand, you can go back now."

Qi Tian didn't leave. With a thick skin, he shuffled closer to her, a cheeky grin on his face: "I haven't shown my sincerity yet."

As he spoke, he suddenly produced a chest of gold and two rings, saying, "This is gold, and this is a Space Ring. Consider it a small token of my appreciation."

A Xiu glanced at the items and then said calmly, "I don't need them."

"Don't be like that!"

Qi Tian quickly urged, "This is an alternate dimension; there are definitely many treasures here. You need something to carry them, right? Old Bai and Xiao Yuan have them, and you should too."

A Xiu hesitated.

Qi Tian seized the opportunity: "And this gold can be exchanged for money. Then you can buy a house in the city and bring your grandfather to live with you. Wouldn't that be great?"

Hearing this, A Xiu's eyes lit up.

Admittedly, what Qi Tian said at the end made sense! She was tempted!

Grandpa was her only relative. If she could bring him to live with her in the city, Grandpa would surely be very happy.

After thinking for a moment, A Xiu accepted Qi Tian's gifts. She hesitated for a moment, then said in a milky voice, "Thank you."

Qi Tian smiled.

He had to admit, A Xiu would be great as a voice actress. Maybe he could introduce her to the profession when she had free time.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Fang Bai's light chuckle sounded. Qi Tian looked at him and asked doubtfully, "Old Bai, you're not asleep yet?"

Fang Bai said helplessly, "Xiao Yuan snores like a bull, I was woken up, so I came to take over the watch. You guys go back and rest."

Qi Tian's lips curled up, "We're not tired, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, A Xiu decisively stood up and walked towards the cave.

Qi Tian: "..."

Fang Bai gave him a strange look.

Weird, why does Old Qi feel a bit like a simp?
