Chapter 38

Bang!

Chao Qingting's knees buckled, and he collapsed face-first on the stage, unconscious.

His chest was pierced through by "Zangku," the wound as large as a fist, blood gushing out, instantly staining the stage red.

"Help him!"

Seeing everyone frozen in shock, Xu Xiaoshou immediately shouted at Xiao Qixiu.

The referee waved his hand, and medical personnel rushed over, surrounding both Xu Xiaoshou and Chao Qingting.

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the four familiar faces around him. Weren't these the same people who saved Big Watermelon before the match?

"Don't worry about me, save Chao Qingting first!"

Seeing these people take out their bags and knives, Xu Xiaoshou panicked and pointed to the other side: "He's got a hole in him, and he's a congenital, he's more important."

"You're important too!" the medical personnel said resolutely.

Saving lives was their duty, even if the person was a bit crazy.

"Passive value, +4, from being cared for."

Xu Xiaoshou watched them thread the needle, hesitating.

Saving lives was certainly a good thing, but the problem was, he didn't really need it!

The battle with Chao Qingting, only "Da Han Wu Qi" and "Xuan Bing Feng Bei Shou" truly caused him harm.

But it was already "over"!

The sword path snowflakes formed by the former almost turned him into a beehive, but "Sheng Sheng Bu Xi" kept him alive, though the process was painful.

Once the sword path snowflakes stopped, his injuries recovered by half in a short time.

The latter's instant ice compression would have frozen anyone else's soul, but Xu Xiaoshou had just swallowed "Jinzhao Huozhong," combined with his congenital body and "Sheng Sheng Bu Xi"...

To be honest, "Xuan Bing Feng Bei Shou" did less damage to him than "Da Han Wu Qi."

"I really don't need it..." Xu Xiaoshou said weakly.

The four staff members glared at him. Who didn't see him beaten half to death?

Look at his clothes, all stained with blood!

And his face, bruised and purple, clearly frozen badly.

"Fine..."

Xu Xiaoshou gave up resisting, and the four people, with their needles and knives, immediately touched his body.

"Passive value, +4, from being suspected."

In an instant, the four people's actions paused simultaneously, their faces shocked as they looked at Xu Xiaoshou.

"This..."

How could this be?

This guy must be a freak, Chao Qingting's attacks only caused him this much damage?

And the vitality surging within him was endless, more exaggerated than if he had taken a Red Gold Pill.

What kind of treatment is this!

They clearly remembered the blood gushing out...

How could this be...

Could it be that the congenital body is so powerful?

Xu Xiaoshou shrugged and stood up. Although his skin was still a bit purple from the cold, his mobility had recovered in this short time.

"I told you I don't need treatment!"

Xu Xiaoshou pointed at Chao Qingting: "Go save him quickly, 'Zangku' should have avoided his vital points, he won't die."

The four people hesitated, clearly shocked and temporarily lost direction. To reassure them, Xu Xiaoshou simply waved his sleeve.

"Let me be honest, this guy never caused me any harm!"

"Go save him quickly!"

At the same time, the medical personnel on the other side had just stopped treating Chao Qingting, their expressions excited.

"He's awake!"

"Great... huh?"

Before they could get too excited, they saw Chao Qingting's face turn dark, and he fainted again.

"Passive value, +1, from being cursed."

The four medical personnel on the other side, eyes filled with killing intent, turned to stare at Xu Xiaoshou.

"Passive value, +4, from being attacked."

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

...

"Passive value, +666, from being admired."

"Passive value, +888, from being admired."

Sure enough, as soon as he left the barrier, several messages appeared in the information bar.

Xu Xiaoshou saw everyone in the audience stand up and clap, waving back happily.

"Huh?"

He suddenly saw Elder Qiao and Zhou Tiancan, both giving him a thumbs up, almost ready to come down and give him a warm hug.

"Passive value, +2, from being praised."

Fortunately, it was the third match, and the audience couldn't come down, avoiding a male embrace.

Xu Xiaoshou smiled back at them, but he was a bit puzzled inside.

Elder Qiao coming to watch his match and encouraging him was understandable, but what about Zhou Tiancan?

Just a moment ago, he was fighting, and now he's a fan?

Returning to the waiting area, although it was already late, Xu Xiaoshou didn't go back immediately.

After the stage was cleaned up, Xiao Qixiu didn't need to draw lots, as the quarterfinals only had one round left.

Mo Mo!

A congenital expert!

Top of the Wind and Cloud List!

Undoubtedly the best senior of the outer academy in terms of strength!

Xu Xiaoshou stayed to observe Mo Mo, who had a high probability of becoming his opponent the next day.

In the arena, Mo Mo wore a green robe, her skin as white as snow.

She held a small bronze incense burner, burning sandalwood, her congenital expertise and her own aura of a secluded orchid completely overshadowing her opponent.

Xu Xiaoshou watched intently.

However, as soon as the match started, there was no excitement or drama. In just a few moves, the opponent with a tenth realm cultivation was knocked off the stage in two rounds.

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

This damned congenital expert!

He angrily turned and left the waiting area.

...

In a forest, two paths diverged, one leading to Goose Lake, the other to the courtyard.

The former represented mystery and the unknown, the latter comfort and ease.

Xu Xiaoshou chose the latter without hesitation.

Ha, after all the trouble of getting rid of "Jinzhao Huozhong," why go to Goose Lake to eat another one?

If he wanted to die, it wouldn't be this way, too damn painful!

Back at the courtyard, after a shower and lying on the bed, a sense of comfort washed over him.

Xu Xiaoshou took out a Spirit Refinement Pill and inhaled a bit.

"Whoa~"

Double the pleasure!

The upgraded "Breathing Technique" was now stronger, and this inhalation consumed a whole pill. Fortunately, Xu Xiaoshou could now resist the pleasure to some extent.

Even so, he was momentarily overwhelmed, and a surge of spiritual energy rose in his dantian.

With a shudder...

He broke through...

Eighth Realm of Spirit Refinement!

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

After refining "Jinzhao Huozhong" last night, he had barely managed to suppress his realm, but now, in a moment of inattention, he had broken through...

"Whatever, if it's fast, it's fast."

"Maybe my speed isn't even that impressive to some real geniuses."

Xu Xiaoshou consoled himself, not caring anymore. After all, a good night's sleep would stabilize his realm.

He brought his mind to the information bar in his head.

Passive value: 18,882.

"Hmm, a bit less."

Although he had already guessed the result, Xu Xiaoshou was still a bit disappointed.

Without the one point per second passive value from "Jinzhao Huozhong," relying solely on the contributions of over a thousand people in the audience, a match could only yield a maximum of four to five thousand passive values.

This was thanks to Chao Qingting's "Da Han Wu Qi" in the middle of the match; otherwise, he would have lost another one to two thousand passive values.

"Jinzhao Huozhong..."

Xu Xiaoshou now missed this thing a bit, but the fire seed was like a time bomb, better to just think about it...

But perhaps, he could control it...

Xu Xiaoshou rubbed his chin, pondering, but ultimately suppressed this bold idea.

Instead of thinking about "Jinzhao Huozhong," it was better to consider why the old man had him swallow it in the first place.
