Chapter 124 - Ambush The Empress (1/2)

Zhou Xuanji opened his arms wide and allowed Xiao Jinghong, Beixiao Wangjian, Zhao Congjian, and Han Shenbo to push him. They tried their best, but they still could not move him an inch.

He said proudly, “Haven’t you eaten your lunch?”

When the four heard, they became anxious immediately.

They channeled their spirit energy and pushed Zhou Xuanji back a meter.

And then, Zhou Xuanji stopped.

They pushed so hard that their faces turned red, but they could not move Zhou Xuanji.

At last, they gave up and sighed.

Zhao Congjian said hesitantly, “Should we go for physical cultivation also?”

Xiao Jinghong shook his head. He was solely for the sword.

Beixiao Wangjian tried physical cultivation before, but he knew that he was not talented enough.

Han Shenbo sighed and said, “Physical cultivation is so difficult, which will surely occupy huge amounts of our time.”

The golden radiance from Zhou Xuanji’s body receded. “It seems like we need a tank.” He said with a smile.

“What is a tank?”

Han Shenbo asked curiously. At this moment, Jiang Xue and Huang Lianxin walked over.

Jiang Xue smiled, “A tank is someone with high defense and who is healthy. He is specialized to block and deflect most of the enemies’ attacks.”

“Xuanji said it before. A perfect party requires an assassin, a warrior, a tank, a shooter, a mage, and a support.”

“You should know about assassins. The assassin should be able to kill the enemy in one blow.”

“Warrior is the main damage dealer. Xiao Jinghong and Zhao Congjian can be considered as warriors. I’m like a mage and support.”

“For the shooter, actually all of you, sword cultivators, can be a shooter. It just means to attack from a range. ”

Seeing Jiang Xue taught them tirelessly like someone who knew it all, and Zhou Xuanji found it really entertaining.

He could not help but remember his previous life. Those games were no longer accessible to him, and all he could do now was work on his dull and dry cultivation.

Xiao Jinghong rubbed his chin and said with a deep voice, “Meng Tianlang is very suitable to be a tank. If he’s around, he can be nurtured.”

He still could not forget his old “lover.”

Huang Lianxin tilted her head in contemplation. “If this is so, actually, we should have searched for an archer who can shoot out sword Qi from afar with considerable speed.” She said.

Zhou Xuanji smiled, “As for a tank, we have one.”

He looked at the little black snake who was rolling on the ground. “From today onwards, each of us will beat it up fearsomely to increase the defensibility of its scale and flesh,” He said.

The little black snake heard him and immediately straightened up its serpentine body like a rubber band. “Why! I don’t buy it! I’m so small, how can I be a tank? I can’t even help you block any attacks!” He cried out loud.

Zhou Xuanji ignored it and said, “Ah Big and Small Er have the potential as well. Demons are suitable tanks. We should nurture them well.”

The group nodded.

After they chatted for a while more, they returned to their own training.

Although Zhou Xuanji’s power increased tremendously after he broke through to Golden Invincibility, it was still not enough.

He needed to work harder to defeat an enemy as formidable as Xitan Changshi.

…

Five months later.

Zhou Xuanji broke through to Inner Pellet Level Nine and was only one step from reaching Soul Fountain.

If word spread about him reaching Soul Fountain at 18 years old, the world would surely be aghast.

In these five months, they would meet with enemies occasionally. Xinhao Sect’s bounty was still on, but evil cultivators from Xinhao Sect did not appear even once.

Zhou Xuanji and the group sent out the person corresponding to the enemy’s power to train their battle consciousness.

Even Jiang Xue was engaged in battle.

All in all, everyone was growing more powerful.

This day, Zhao Congjian came back with some news.

“Master, Zhou Yalong returned to the court. The Empress will likely delay for a month, but the time has been confirmed. She will move out within four months at most. There will be 100 elite royal guards escorting her, the weakest among them is at Astral Infant.”

Zhao Congjian cupped his fist and said to Zhou Xuanji, who was internalizing Qi on the tree.

Zhou Xuanji nodded. “Go and rest,” he said.
