Yu Luan already took a step forward and stopped the compet.i.tion. He pulled Zuo Shuming and said, “Hurry, gather your Qi and focus on forming a core!”

“Forming a core?” Zuo Shuming hesitated. He looked like he had no idea what was going on.

“That's right,” Yu Luan said excitedly, nodding his head. He had not thought that he would get such a pleasant surprise from this compet.i.tion.

“Hurry, sit down!” Lonemoon flew over and looked up. The skies were getting darker. He shouted, “Your lightning tribulation is about to begin.”

“Oh… Oh!” Zuo Shuming finally understood what was going on. He was just about to sit down when he realised something. Zuo Shuming turned to look at Shu Yi with a silly look on his face. Grabbing her hand eagerly, he smiled and said, “Thank you… Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister!”

“…” Swoos.h.!.+ That was the sound of a knife stabbing Shu Yi straight through the chest.

The more he spoke, the more overwhelmed with grat.i.tude he became. “Whatever you do with your sword will translate to your cultivation! Senior Sister, you really are a genius. I will never forget your teaching.”

“…” Another knife went through her heart.

“That's right!” He suddenly turned to face the disciple who had been hosting the compet.i.tion. “I'm willing to admit defeat in this compet.i.tion. Senior Sister Shu's comprehension of the sword techniques is indeed above mine.”

“…” Swoosh, yet another knife!

It was then that Zuo Shuming finally looked like he was ready. He sat down and began to focus on forming his core. Before he closed his eyes, he quickly added, “Senior Sister Shu, you really are a good person!”

Shu Yi: “…”

The three people around him: “…”

(~ ̄(OO) ̄)ブ

Why did they suddenly feel so much pity for Shu Yi?

Indeed, her already dark expression became even darker so that it resembled the bottom of the pot. She was now shooting daggers at Zuo Shuming with her glare. The three of them could almost see the anger welling up in her chest – she looked like she was about to explode at any moment.

Yu Luan, as the sect master, was beginning to clear out the s.p.a.ce. Zuo Shuming's lightning tribulation was approaching them at top speed. He had no choice but to allow Zuo Shuming to form his core at that very spot. The good thing was that the place was already prepared as a battlefield – it was the perfect place for the lightning tribulation to strike. Thus, Yu Luan quickly asked the disciples in the audience to move back at least a hundred metres. At the same time, he stopped the finals of the pill refinement event taking place just next to the battlefield. After all, it would be bad if anyone got hurt in the process. In top speed, Yu Luan cleared out the area.

Tian Ji, who had been hovering above, flew down and dragged a dazed Shu Yi out of the area as well. Comfortingly, he muttered, “This battle was an accident, but don't worry Little Yi, you are the winner through and through.”

Shu Yi's expression twisted. Something in her mind seemed to snap. Who cares about being the d.a.m.ned winner! She didn't care for it at all! She did it for… Yes! She wanted to destroy his reputation and make him hated among everyone!

Her eyes brightened. It was then that she recalled her true motive. Shu Yi began to quickly chase the system. “Hurry! System, cause his demonic Qi to explode! Immediately!”

[But Host, the seal will only lift in 20 minutes.]

“Who cares about when the seal will lift at this point in time!” Shu Yi felt her chest tighten. A chill ran down her spine. “If we don't act now, he'll form a core! Hurry up, immediately get rid of the seal and let the demonic Qi go!”

[… Alright, Host.]

Before 001 could finish speaking, the first bolt of lightning struck down. it was followed closely by a loud thunder. Just like that, bolt after bolt struck the ground so that the night sky was illuminated for several minutes.

Yet, Zuo Shuming's expression did not change. Apart from his dharmic clothing getting quite burned, he did not show any signs of having endured the bolts of lightning. Compared to Shu Yi, he was dealing with the lightning tribulation much better. He was a sword cultivator after all. His sword Qi could defend his body against the impact of the lightning. What's more, he had already gotten used to being beaten up by Lonemoon all these years. Naturally, his body was much tougher now. The Golden Core Lightning Tribulation really had nothing on him.

Even the Sect masters around him – Yu Luan and the other elders – could not help but look on appreciatively. They seemed very satisfied with Zuo Shuming's performance.

Shu Yi, on the other hand, got more and more upset. “What's going on? Why's the demonic Qi in his body not exploding?” Her mind became filled with many questions.

[Well… I'm not sure either. I've already lifted the seal.]

“Where's the demonic Qi? Where did it go?”

[The force of the lightning tribulation is too huge – all the other energies have dissipated. Perhaps even the demonic Qi has…]

“What!” Shu Yi exclaimed in disbelief. She was so mad that she felt like she was going to go crazy. “You mean the lightning tribulation has chased away the demonic Qi?!”

[I think so.]

“d.a.m.n it!” She had everything s nicely planned. Why did this happen every time? Every single time! Was Zuo Shuming the descendent of the Heavenly Dao? Did she really have no way of going against him?

[Ding! The original owner's grievous energy value +10. Total value: 75!]

“…” Shu Yi felt the indignance rise up in her chest. She was so upset that she felt like crying out. The hatred she felt for Zuo Shuming was at its peak. At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to kill him. The spirit Qi around her body seemed to change faintly. It was beginning to stir.

“Little Yi!” Tian Ji, who was standing beside her, was the first to notice that something was amiss. His expression changed. Immediately, he conjured a seal to trap her spirit Qi. The spirit Qi around Shu Yi's body dissipated and she pa.s.sed out at once.

Tian Ji lowered her gaze and turned to explain to Yu Luan what he just did. “She was too affected by the suppressive force. Her meridians are injured. I'm going to bring her back first.” With that, he carried her and turned to return to Dan Xia Mountain.

Yu Luan did not seem to think much of this. He bowed to Tian Ji and turned back to observe Zuo Shuming excitedly. He was already mid-way through the lightning tribulation. The longer Yu Luan looked on, the more satisfied he became. Zuo Shuming was not bad indeed. This kid had potential.

“Father Niu…” Yi Qing transmitted to Lonemoon, keeping his eye on the two people who were getting away.

“Mm, I saw them.” Lonemoon nodded. “She almost became a demon earlier. I don't think this invader is very much different from her original owner.” Lonemoon had to say that Zuo Shuming seemed to be Shu Yi's natural enemy! He caused someone else to become a fiendish cultivator in his past life, and now he's doing the same to this invader. Indeed, if he could anger one person to death, he could anger others to death as well.

They were really useless here!

“No, I felt pure demonic Qi in her body earlier on,” Yi Qing responded in a low voice.

“What!” Lonemoon exclaimed. “She was cut off before she could turn into a demon – how could there be pure demonic Qi in her body?” Given her cultivation, even if she really did become a demon, she would only be a fiendish cultivator. She should then be emitting just evil auras, and not pure demonic Qi.

“It really was demonic Qi. I'm not sure where it came from either.” Yi Qing frowned.

“She has a demonic seed inside her!” Shen Ying interrupted.

“What!” The two of them exclaimed, turning to face her.

“Eh, didn't I tell you this?” Shen Ying took a bite of her fruit and chewed. “Her Master's demonic seed has been transferred into the invader's body.”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Flips table! You haven't freaking mentioned anything about a demonic seed even once!
