Borrowing a sword

Chapter 156 Open Cheating
"8 experience points, plus 1 point of a specific attribute!"

Chu Huaixu felt that the system was truly generous this time.

"It's a pity there's a note at the end that it can't be added to the spirit embryo." When he saw this, his handsome face darkened slightly.

At this moment, he had even already thought about what to add.

"I definitely won't add any more to my comprehension. I'm only at the first level, which is more than enough. Adding more would be redundant and not cost-effective."

Moreover, if this continues, it's likely that a small portion of Xiao Xu's (whose comprehension is 10) functions will need to be optimized.
"I can't bear it," Chu Huaixu said in a capitalist's voice.

He looked at his character panel and thought that all the attributes were really amazing, almost as good as they were before he transmigrated.

As for [Gathering Spirits]...
Chu Huaixu: What is Gathering Spirits?
After closing the panel, he took out the sword sheath [Calming the Waves].

The sword energy stored inside has been exhausted, and he needs to continue storing it.

Moreover, he discovered today that the sword energy stored in the scabbard was stronger than he had expected, especially when used in conjunction with sword intent.

"For low-level cultivators, sword intent is essentially a dimensional reduction attack."

"The sword energy has become the carrier of sword intent."

In addition, he discovered that the sword energy, nourished day and night within the scabbard, would increase over time.

Although the bonus isn't particularly significant, it's definitely there.

So he would store more in it every time he finished using it.

"As expected of a top-grade spiritual artifact," Chu Huaixu commented.

After his spiritual energy was completely depleted, he began to take medicine to recover.

Once his spiritual energy was abundant again, he began to pour it into the medicine cauldron [Dao Sheng Yi].

While feeding it, he also said to the spirit, "Keep refining the pills, you see, I have to eat pills to feed you spiritual energy."

Unfortunately, despite his unscrupulous boss's efforts to manipulate it, it didn't have much effect.

The medicine cauldron is like a mentally challenged child, all it does is cry out for food.

"How could the true natal object of the dignified Dao Ancestor be of such a nature?" Chu Huaixu couldn't understand it at all.

He even began to wonder if it was so stupid that even the Dao Ancestor was unwilling to show his natal artifact to others.

After all, he felt that the Dao Ancestor was quite concerned about his reputation.

He kept it very well hidden!

There are so many secrets.

"As expected of a pure Yang body, the strongest newbie in the Xuanhuang Realm, perfectly embodying that saying."

"Men have pride!"

Of course, this shows that Chu Huaixu is truly not one to suffer from internal strife.

He never even considered that the reason his natal spirit was like this was because he hadn't taken good care of it.

After feeding the medicine cauldron a large amount of spiritual energy, Chu Huaixu's spiritual energy was depleted again.

The next day, it was time to draw lots again.

Because the top seed players and favorites to win the championship were all eliminated by a family of three, most of those left behind were unworthy of their reputation.

The family of three stood together, each hoping that the other wouldn't be drawn.

Chu Huaixu, the head of the family, had given a strict order, hoping that they could sweep the top three spots.

These days, as long as there's no car crash, things are basically stable.

It should be noted that the Eastern Continent Grand Competition, jointly organized by the four major sects, offers incredibly generous rewards to the top three, while the rewards for fourth place and below are a whole level lower.

That alone is enough to make Chu Huaixu have some crooked ideas.

"You two draw first," he instructed.

Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing didn't ask any questions and did as instructed, which was the authority of the head of the household.

Upon seeing their assigned numbers, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Shuangjiang is number two, and Xu Ziqing is number three.

As long as Chu Huaixu doesn't draw those two numbers, everyone will be fine.

When it was his turn, Niu Yuanshan, who was in charge of the matter, gave him a smile.

That smile even carried a hint of...doting?

Chu Huaixu knew very well that everyone in the [Organization] had been brainwashed. He suspected that given Lao Niu's loyalty and the fact that he had already reached this point in the Eastern Continent Competition, if anything happened, Niu Yuanshan probably wouldn't even bat an eye if he were asked to die for him!
Chu Huaixu didn't really know what to say to these kinds of people; his feelings were rather complicated.

But putting that aside, he actually quite likes Lao Niu as a person.

"Go ahead and draw a lot. I hope you have good luck." Niu Yuanshan smiled gently at him.

Chu Huaixu nodded; he wanted to choose the leftmost slip of paper.

But before that, he immediately launched an [Information Probe].

There are outer sect deacons and a fifth-level Daoist cultivator stationed here. Any contestant who uses their divine sense to investigate will be caught.

But the systems are different, and their status is what it is.

Let alone them, even if the sect leader Xiang Yan himself came, he wouldn't be able to see anything amiss.

Chu Huaixu is now cheating, openly using cheat codes.

As it turns out, the leftmost slip was marked number one, meaning you wouldn't encounter it even if you chose blindly; it just gave you more confidence.

"Alas, for the sake of this family, I have resorted to such despicable means." A certain head of the family sighed inwardly, feeling a momentary moral condemnation.

"It's all for you guys." He even got a self-pity about it.

Even at this moment, the dead fox did not forget to look at the old ox and said, "A very good result. Thank you for your blessing, Steward Niu."

Niu Yuanshan was indeed coaxed into becoming an embryo.

It felt as if he himself had contributed to the organization's great cause of winning the championship in the East.

He couldn't help but want to hum softly.

If luck also follows the law of conservation of energy, then misfortune will not disappear, but will only shift.

The fact that these three favorites didn't draw each other is terrible news for everyone else.

This means that three slackers are destined to fail.

After leaving the lottery area, Xu Ziqing was about to return to Junzi Temple.

He now has a heavy workload every day, and Jiang Zhi has arranged a very full schedule for him.

Chu Huaixu was quite dissatisfied with this, feeling that it was as if the old father had no intention of pushing his child to excel, but the school teachers were the ones pushing him.

"Alright then, see you in the finals," he said to Xiao Xu.

The handsome young man nodded solemnly: "Okay!"

As expected, the next day's match was less exciting due to the draw.

In all the contests involving Chu Huaixu and others, he won by overwhelming force.

Especially on the dead fox's side, he drew a female disciple, and as usual, he didn't hold back, showing respect by directly destroying her.

However, this female cultivator was quite beautiful and seemed to be very popular within her sect, belonging to the kind of female cultivator who raised fish and had a large following.

So much so that her fellow disciples got anxious and secretly cursed, "Chu Huaixu has no manners whatsoever!"

How could he bring himself to harm such a beautiful woman?

"She's clearly so much stronger than Junior Sister Xu, what's wrong with letting her have her way?"

It’s really confusing!

Since it was a competition to advance to the final four, there were only four matches in total, and they were all completed in no time.

Today, the draw was conducted on the spot.

To show the importance attached to the final four matches, and given Chu Yinyin's naturally lively and outgoing nature, she leaped off the stage and began to personally preside over the draw.

She even started calling out names: "Chu Huaixu, you come up and draw first!"

The dead fox with cheating abilities: "."

However, since it's already the semi-finals, it doesn't really matter who we get drawn with.

After he drew his name, the other three were also called up to the stage.

However, when Chu Huaixu went on stage, he felt that the way some of the male cultivators were looking at him was a bit off.

Under the watchful eyes of these enthusiasts, this Taoist disciple, whom they considered to be utterly lacking in manners and charm, drew the last remaining female cultivator from the top four list.

The woman who was considered his Daoist partner by others.
