A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Joan of Arc: That's right, so now the odds are 50-50.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn, but the problem is that I can’t help but release the lightning and get hit.

Han Buli: It's because your weakness is long-range, Lao Xiao, and your startup speed is too slow. If you want to win this game, you should not activate the Buff first, and use the health advantage of the fourth level of Qi Refining to dodge as much as possible. After Jeanne d'Arc's MP is used up, then consider activating the Buff or directly using the Burning Technique in close combat based on the remaining HP. By then, the Red Sun Sword can also stack damage for you, and the Huangjing Dagger is even restrained by the Burning Technique attribute, so your winning rate will be more considerable.

Xiao Huohuo: Byd, Old Han, why didn't you tell me earlier? (annoyed)

Han Buli: Then you can ask me.

KP: You wouldn’t hear it even if I asked.

Xiao Huohuo: That’s not necessarily true. Old Han and I are very close friends. We might even have telepathy if we just have some inspiration.

KP:?

Jeanne: Okay, okay, little brother, stop wasting time and attack now. It's useless for you to hold on to the Burning Technique anyway. You have less HP left than me, so after ten rounds, I'll still win.

Xiao Huohuo: You stinky Byd sister, you speak as if you have already won. Don’t forget that my winning rate is also 50%!

Han Buli: That being said, Zhendè is at the third level of Qi Refining and can definitely afford to lose. If you, Lao Xiao, at the fourth level of Qi Refining, lose, it would be truly humiliating. (Laughs)

Romeo: Indeed, Lao Xiao, if you lose, just change your name.

Xiao Huohuo: ...

KP: Then, Xiao Huohuo will launch the final attack, and let us see who is the real one?

Xiao Huohuo: Please, Dice Lady, please guide me!

Xiao Huohuo: Burning decision, it will definitely succeed.

Fire spiritual root bonus, 32/(70+20), success.

Joan of Arc: Dice Lady, let’s punish this beggar version of Xiao Yan together!

Xiao Huohuo: Gua, don’t bother talking about that kind of thing!!!

Joan of Arc: Dodge, 51/(60-10), failed.

Joan of Arc: Almost fucked!!!

Han Buli: Tight.

Xiao Huohuo: Le, my naughty sister did so many fancy things, but in the end I was still the best.

焚决伤害:（【1d5:3】＋5＋20）*1.3＝36。

Joan of Arc HP: 21-36=0.

KP: So, although the process was a bit thrilling and tortuous, Xiao Huohuo finally maintained the dignity of the fourth level of Qi Refining. He hit Jeanne d'Arc severely with a single blow of the Fiery Iron Mountain Leaner, sending her flying and ending the battle cleanly and neatly.

KP: Xiao Huohuo points +3.

Joan of Arc: Angry, very angry! (Knocking on the table)

Xiao Huohuo: Hehehe, someone won’t be able to sleep tonight.

Chapter 63 Death of Sima Wu (Day 31)

KP: The duel between Xiao Huohuo and Jeanne d'Arc is over. Xiao Huohuo won 3 points without any danger. He is currently ranked in the upper middle position and has a promising future. As for Jeanne d'Arc... Jeanne d'Arc?

Joan of Arc: (Please do not disturb me while I am in isolation)

Xiao Huohuo: Happy.

KP: Okay, let’s move on to the next game. Han Buli, are you ready?

Han Buli: If you are not ready, can you not fight?

KP: 8 lines.

Han Buli: What the hell are you asking? (half annoyed)

KP: Hehe, then Han Buli soon heard an inner sect disciple calling out his and Ya Xiaonan's names. He was slightly stunned and glanced to the outside of the crowd. He happened to meet Ya Xiaonan who was next to Han Ning'er. The latter looked a little nervous, and the look he gave you was a little complicated. After nodding slightly, he walked towards the battle area first.

KP: Just as Han Buli was about to head to the battle area, a familiar voice was heard from the side.

Sima Wu: What? Are you nervous?

Han Buli: Not bad.

KP: Sima Wu patted Han Buli's shoulder. Faced with this sudden and somewhat friendly gesture, Han Buli couldn't help but feel a little confused, but then he realized that a spiritual power had seeped into his shoulder along Sima Wu's hand and was hidden outside his spiritual orifice.

Sima Wu: (whispering) This spiritual energy can restore your spiritual power once. Although it will damage your meridians (reduce your maximum MP), I believe you can still distinguish the primary from the secondary at the critical moment, right?

Xiao Huohuo: Byd is giving him special treatment, right?

Han Buli: (whispering) Wouldn’t this violate the rules?

Sima Wu: Humph, as long as we are not discovered, it is not considered a violation. Besides, I don’t believe that little bitch Han Ning’er doesn’t have a backup plan.

KP: At this time, the inner disciples called out Han Buli's name again. Sima Wu gave Han Buli a cold look that said "You know what will happen if you lose", then turned and left.

Han Buli: Wait a minute, I want to call Brother Sima first and tell him that you haven’t given me the living expenses for my retreat some time ago, which is a total of 195 spirit stones.

KP:?

Sima Wu: Now?

Han Buli: Yes, yes, I’m just worried that you, Brother Sima, might be too forgetful and forget things because you’re too busy.

KP: Well, even though Sima Wu thought your action was a little strange, he still took out three high-level spirit stones and threw them to you.

Sima Wu: As a man, don't always care about these petty gains. Follow me and work hard. I won't treat you unfairly in the future.

Xiao Huohuo: Brother Sima is still very generous.

Inner disciple: Han Buli! Is Han Buli not here?

Han Buli: Here I come.

……

KP: Arriving at the battle area, Han Buli and Ya Xiaonan stood opposite each other. Both sides were a little nervous about this gambling fight involving two family heirs.

Han Buli: Actually, I feel okay.

Ya Xiaonan: I didn’t expect that the person assigned by Sima Wu...Young Master was you. I thought you and Romeo were friends.

Han Buli: Of course Lao Luo and I are friends, but then again, cultivating immortality also requires resources. Who would go against spirit stones?

KP: Upon hearing this, Ya Xiaonan nodded in understanding.

Ya Xiaonan: So that’s how it is. Young Master Sima is indeed generous when he spends money.

KP: After a brief chat, the spiritual barrier that isolated the outside world fell. Han Buli and Ya Xiaonan looked stern, realizing that the battle was about to begin.

Inner Disciple: Tianzui District, Class A Han Buli versus Class A Ya Xiaonan, let’s begin.

……

KP: The battle begins. There is no level restriction between the two sides. The attack order is: Han Buli > Ya Xiaonan.

Han Buli: Three thousand thunders will surely succeed.

Thunder Spirit Root bonus, 34/30, failed.

KP: Blue-purple lightning leaped on Han Buli's surface, and Han Buli's figure flashed at high speed, entering the invincible thunder mode.

KP: Seeing this, Ya Xiaonan also activated her spiritual power. A circle of hazy water vapor enveloped her entire body, making her figure somewhat vague.

Ya Xiaonan: Mirror Flower and Water Moon, 19/80, success.

Water spiritual root bonus, 55/60, success.

[Mirror Flower and Water Moon]: Water-based auxiliary magic, 8 MP, reduces enemy ranged skill check by -10, and has a 50% chance of rebounding damage when attacked from a ranged location, with a maximum rebound of 20, lasting for three rounds.

Han Buli: Damn, what kind of long-range nemesis is this?

Xiao Huohuo: Coach, I want to learn this!

……

KP: Round 2.

Han Buli: I will wait and see what Xiaonan will do.

KP: So, seeing you moving around but showing no intention of attacking, Ya Xiaonan also controlled his temper and chose to remain in place.

Han Buli: Grass.

Joan of Arc: You two are not going to stand off like this for 10 rounds, are you? (Pinching nose)

Han Buli: It's a bit boring to just wait like this. KP, can I chat with Xiaonan for a while? I have some questions to ask her.

Ya Xiaonan: Chat? What to chat about?

Han Buli: I'm a little confused as to why you were so eager to distance yourself from Sima Wu after joining the sect. Based on my recent experience, Sima Wu isn't a difficult person to approach, and he treats his subordinates incredibly well. The resources you'll gain by following Sima Wu will be far greater than if you betrayed him.

KP: I didn't expect you to suddenly mention Sima Wu. Ya Xiaonan's face changed. He glanced nervously at the crowd watching the game outside, and then said in an annoyed voice.

Ya Xiaonan: Are you trying to use these words to disrupt my actions?

Han Buli: No, no, I'm not very good at speaking. Although I type fluently, I actually stutter a bit when I speak.

Ya Xiaonan: That’s right... Then you’d better not do these boring things. Everyone is watching outside. You’d better compete seriously, otherwise you will have a hard time in the end.

Han Buli: Sister Xiaonan, if you say that, then why don’t you call me.

Ya Xiaonan: I...this is my strategy.

Han Buli: (Spreads his hands) So let's just chat. I'll walk around you and pretend to attack you, but actually I'll talk quietly so no one can hear me.

KP: Then, Han Buli, you used the Three Thousand Thunders to move quickly around Ya Xiaonan. For a moment, the dust was flying, and it looked like the battle was quite intense.

KP: Seeing this, Ya Xiaonan sighed and whispered.

Ya Xiaonan: What exactly do you want to say?

Han Buli: I repeated what I said before and asked Ya Xiaonan why she was so eager to leave Sima Wu.

KP: Upon hearing this, Ya Xiaonan frowned.

Ya Xiaonan: Master Sima has put a blood slave curse on me... Do you know what that is?

Han Buli: Yes, Sima Wu mentioned it to me.

Ya Xiaonan: Then you should know how restrictive this blood slave curse is for a monk! As long as the blood slave curse is still there, I will never be able to get rid of my slave status and will never be free!

Han Buli: But without this blood slave curse, will you be free?

Ya Xiaonan:...Ah?

Han Buli: What I mean is that in this world of immortal cultivation, where the strong prey on the weak, absolute freedom requires absolute strength to support it, so it's not something you can obtain overnight. On the contrary, the Blood Slave Curse can allow you to fully gain Sima Wu's trust in the early stages, and it's clearly a thing that has far more benefits than limitations. You can use the Blood Slave Curse to accumulate early resources and speed up your cultivation, rather than kicking it outright. After all, you've been a slave for so long, you don't mind a few more days.

Ya Xiaonan: ...

Han Buli: I can see you're a smart person, and you shouldn't fail to understand such a simple truth. Yet, despite this, you chose to part ways with Sima Wu, which is clearly somewhat irrational. So, I'm thinking, perhaps something happened between you and Sima Wu, leading to some irreconcilable conflict that compelled you to betray him?

Xiao Huohuo: Hmm? After your analysis, Old Han, it seems like there's something wrong.

Joan of Arc: Indeed, with Ya Xiaonan's personality, there is no reason for her not to cling to Sima Ge's thigh... at least she won't tear her face apart openly.

Romeo: Is there a possibility that Brother Sima is actually a gay, and one day when he was doing something in the room, he was caught by Xiaonan.

Xiao Huohuo: ...

Han Buli: ...

Joan of Arc: ...

KP: …

Xiao Huohuo: KP, why don’t you speak? Is Brother Sima really a G@Y?

KP: No! Don't confuse my NPC with that pile of yellow waste! (annoyed)

Han Buli: What is the situation? KP, please give me an explanation.

KP: (Dark Dice)

KP: Han Buli, please observe.

Han Buli: Observation, 12/50, success.

KP: So, Han Buli, you noticed that after listening to your analysis, a hint of obvious panic flashed in Ya Xiaonan's eyes.
