Chapter 178 - Surpassing Competition

“Master.”

The few of their eyes were really moist and misty.

“Master, we won’t complain if you want to beat or punish us. Please don’t chase us away. Even if we die, we want to die with Master.”

“If you guys stay away from me, I probably won’t die.”

Yun Lige :”…”

Ji Wuxia :”…”

Fang Tianyuan :”…”

Li Changsheng :”…”

Zhuge Ziqiong’s hand…

After a while, Yun Lige finally said, “Master, I beg of you. I know that it’s all my fault. In the future, Lige will definitely be good and obedient. I will definitely temper my character well and be cautious. I will definitely not be disobedient again.”

Li Changsheng also said, “Master, in the future, Changsheng will definitely not think about becoming famous again. I will definitely be obedient and careful.”

Seeing the few of them kneel pitifully, the anger in Lu Xiaoran’s heart also dissipated a lot.

After all, these people were all his disciples. He could not really ignore them or chase them away, right?

He also did not intend on giving up Wang Cai’s gift bags.

He still wanted free cultivation.

To put it bluntly, the few of them were in the same boat. They would only become stronger together. However, once they were separated, their strength would immediately drop by a lot.

Helpless, Lu Xiaoran heaved a deep sigh and immediately said, “Alright, I’ll give you guys one more chance. This is your last chance. Remember this in the future. You have to be careful no matter what you do outside. Don’t you dare show off. Otherwise, you will be cursed to be struck by lightning. If you still end up dying, it’s your own fault for courting death. You shouldn’t implicate everyone.”

The four of them nodded in unison.

“I’ll remember this for now. If you do this again in the future, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

The four of them immediately replied in unison, “Don’t worry, Master. We know.”

“Alright, get up.”

Only then did the four of them stand up.

Then, Lu Xiaoran continued, “There’s a situation right now. I’ll tell you guys clearly first. Fang Aotian from the Ancient Ape Tribe has already reached the first level of the King Realm. Moreover, he has many weapons. I even suspect that he might have a treasure vault with several Martial Monarch Realm weapons.”

Hiss!

The few of them could not help but have goosebumps.

It was not strange to them that their Master had multiple Martial Monarch Realm weapons. However, when they learned that Fang Aotian had a few Martial Monarch Realm weapons, they could not help but be shocked.

After all, not everyone was like their master.

Fang Tianyuan, who was Fang Aotian’s old enemy, clenched his fists especially tightly and gritted his teeth.

His mortal enemy had actually become so powerful now!

“Then Master, what should we do now? According to Fang Aotian’s cultivation speed, even if we all cultivate in seclusion now, we probably won’t be able to catch up to him, right?”

Li Changsheng could not help but ask.

Lu Xiaoran snapped his fingers.

“Changsheng’s question is very good. If you cultivate seriously, I think the few of you won’t be able to catch up to Fang Aotian even if you cultivate for your entire lives. After all, Fang Aotian can also kill enemies with cultivation higher than his. I think he can at least surpass two realms. Moreover, he doesn’t even need to rely on array formations to do this.”

Their pupils could not help but shrink.

Two Realms!

Wasn’t this guy too powerful?

Previously, be it Xiao Bei or Lin Fei, they could at most cross one realm. Now, his master actually said that Fang Aotian could cross two realms.

Could it be that there were differences between the hot shots?

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to be shocked. The hot shots have always been an extremely abnormal existence. Even if we encounter a hot shot that breaks through to the Martial Monarch Realm as soon as he’s born in the future, we shouldn’t be surprised. This is normal for them.”

What we need to do is to use all the advantageous factors we have to kill them. ”

“Master, tell me what to do. You must have an idea already.”

Lu Xiaoran nodded.

“Smart. In the next period of time, I’ll send you guys into the Mountain and River State Painting. I’ve already adjusted the time flow inside the Mountain and River State Painting. One day spent outside will be equal to seven, eight, or even ten days spent inside. I won’t give you much time to cultivate. After all, the Demon Sect probably won’t be able to last for long.”

We have to attack Fang Aotian before the Demon Sect is completely destroyed. ”

Lu Xiaoran had previously concluded that this was like playing a game. When a player defeated a Boss, they would obtain a lot of experience, obtain countless equipment, and various good items. Their strength would increase by a lot.

If he waited until the Demon Sect was destroyed, not only would Fang Aotian’s cultivation increase, but he might even obtain a huge sum of resources.

At that time, it would be troublesome for Lu Xiaoran to attack again.

Therefore, he decided that it was best for them to appear right before Fang Aotian and the Demon Sect fought to the death.

At that time, Fang Aotian should have been at his weakest and it would also be the easiest for them to succeed.

“In that case, we will definitely cultivate diligently and not let Master down.”

Lu Xiaoran nodded and put the few of them into the Mountain and River State Painting. Then, he gave them enough resources.

He threw in all kinds of Martial Monarch Realm and Saint Realm pills for them to use casually.

After arranging for his disciples, Lu Xiaoran finally looked at the hand.

What a pitiful fifth disciple. She only had one hand.

This should be the most tragic one among all his disciples, right?

Fortunately, he had the Divine Weapon Body Modeling Mark. The Body Modeling Mark only needed blood essence and soul to repair one’s body. With an entire hand here, it was definitely not a problem.

Lu Xiaoran immediately took out the Body Modeling Mark and threw Zhuge Ziqiong’s hand in.

Immediately after, he activated the divine weapon and a golden light immediately appeared on the Body Modeling Mark.

Because Zhuge Ziqiong’s cultivation was very low, the Body Modeling Mark repaired her very quickly.

Soon, as the body modeling mark shot out a golden light, a beautiful jade-like figure appeared in front of Lu Xiaoran.

Lu Xiaoran :”…”

After a moment of silence, Lu Xiaoran immediately threw a cloak onto Zhuge Ziqiong.

“Damn, why is the Body Modeling Mark showing me a bare body? Why doesn’t it just give her a set of clothes? This is simply unacceptable!”

Perhaps sensing something strange, Zhuge Ziqiong crawled up from the ground in a daze and looked at Lu Xiaoran in front of her in confusion.

The dorky and adorable look on her face was simply unbearable. Her zombie-like canine teeth were very naughty and cute. Coupled with her long, soft, black hair that was like a waterfall and her fair and tender little face, she looked very much like a two-dimensional female protagonist.

If it were an ordinary man, they might not be able to help but directly commit a crime. However, Lu Xiaoran would not.

He had a very clear view of life.

If you made a friend and encountered trouble, the friend would help you.

However, women only knew how to drag you down.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran definitely did not want a girlfriend.

Moreover, the other party was his disciple. He was the other party’s master, a hardworking gardener, and a teacher.

How could he do something that insulted the holy word “master”?

Seeing the confusion in the other party’s eyes, Lu Xiaoran coughed lightly and greeted.

“Hello.”

The other party ignored him.

Lu Xiaoran could not help but frown slightly.

Could it be that because the other party was not from the Great Zhou Empire, or because the other party had already become a zombie, the language she used also changed?

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran changed his greetings.

“Hello.”

…

“Moshi moshi?”

…

“Arrigato.”

…

“Konichiwa.”

…

“Yamete.”

…

“Iku iku?”

…

Lu Xiaoran tried several times in a row and almost used up all his vocabulary, but Zhuge Ziqiong did not react at all.

This gave him a huge headache. Could it be that this person’s transformation into a zombie would also cause a change in her linguistic abilities?

With the language barrier, how could they communicate?

“Wang Cai, come out.”

“Coming, coming, Master, I’m here.”

“This Zhuge Ziqiong doesn’t understand what I’m saying. Therefore, I can’t make her acknowledge me as her master, right?”

“Reporting to Master, you don’t have to worry. Although her zombie bloodline is very high-level, her cultivation level is still very basic. Now, she’s at most equivalent to a child learning how to speak among humans. As long as she cultivates a cultivation technique and increases her cultivation, her linguistic ability will increase. At that time, she will be able to communicate.”

“However, the problem is that I can’t let her take me as her master now, so I naturally can’t teach her cultivation techniques. How can I help her advance?”

“That’s not a problem. It’s very simple for men and women to communicate. There’s no need for words.”

Lu Xiaoran :”…”

“I suspect that you’re being a pervert, but I can’t tell for sure.”

“Of course not.”

With that said, Wang Cai immediately ran to Zhuge Ziqiong’s side. He kicked her and smashed his small claws fiercely on the back of her head.

Bang!

The adorable Zhuge Ziqiong’s head directly smashed fiercely onto the ground, even creating a small pit.

Immediately after, Wang Cai smiled and said,

“Congratulations, Master for taking in the disciple with a King Realm zombie bloodline. Master is rewarded with a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique—Heaven Amplification Six Dao Art and a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm weapon—Six Path Reincarnation Disk.”

Lu Xiaoran :”…”

“Do you have to do this? Is it very interesting? I think you could have easily confirmed our master-disciple relationship.”

“Master, don’t talk nonsense. Otherwise, I’ll sue you for slander. Wang Cai is a good child.”

“Forget it.”

A system with such intelligence and bootlicking tendencies actually that he was a good child.

No one would believe it.

“Alright, this has nothing to do with you. Go back. I’ll train her well.”
