Chapter 115 – Directly Passing (1/2)

The Qi Practitioner who had directly confronted Li Qingshan before walked past him as he sneered. He whispered, “I’d like to see how you die. You better pray to the heavens that you don’t match up with me.”

Li Qingshan smiled. “I trust that I won’t be matched up with you.” Afterwards, under the gazes of all of the Qi Practitioners, he made his way through the square and arrived below the pavilion. Two envoys stopped him. “What are you trying to do?”

Li Qingshan ignored the envoys. He raised his head and called out, “May I ask if commander Zhuo Zhibo is present?”

“What’s he trying to do?” “Is he sick of living?” The group of Qi Practitioners were stunned, and the Black Wolf guards in the pavilion were surprised as well.

Bulbous nose mumbled, “Looks like I’m wrong. The kid is going to die before the competition even begins.”

“Chase him away!” Zhuo Zhibo frowned. Was his name something a little Qi Practitioner could refer to directly?

Swish!

Two Hawkwolf Guards outside the corridor drew their swords conveniently, while the other Hawkwolf Guards remained the same as before, keeping the attitude of watching a show.

“I’ll wager that he’ll be able to endure three moves at the very least!” Bulbous nose’s words immediately made his two colleagues with the drawn blades slightly more serious. One of them even replied, “Then let’s gamble!”

Zhou Wenbin said suddenly, “Hold on! Commander Zhuo, that’s the person I’ve gambled on. I can’t accept the losses if he dies. He might be seeking you out for actual matters. Why don’t we see what he has to say?” The smile in his eyes grew deeper. He stood up and made his way to the corridor, while Zhuo Zhibo followed along. He felt slightly uneasy inside.

Zhuo Zhibo looked down on Li Qingshan from above. “What do you want?”

“Commander Wang Pushi sent me here.” There was a dark flash in Li Qingshan’s hand, which shot up the pavilion.

Zhuo Zhibo extended a hand and caught it. It was a Black Wolf tablet. The matter from several months ago suddenly crossed his mind. He raised his head and looked at Li Qingshan. “Are you that person?” He had never thought that the kid who had caused Feng Zhang to be expelled and earned him a scolding from Wang Pushi would actually still be alive. Moreover, he would actually be bold enough to show himself before him.

Li Qingshan spread his hands and shrugged. “In the flesh.”

Zhou Wenbin smiled due to the success of his scheme. “Commander Zhou? what’s this about?”

Zhuo Zhibo said with a sunken expression, “Sir Zhou has schemed well, so why must you ask despite knowing the answer?” He had always taken pride in his intelligence, but he had fallen for Zhou Wenbin’s scheme today, so he was in a horrible mood. As he looked at Li Qingshan, he was tempted to smack him to death.

The sixth layer, Qi Practitioners who had split open a sea of qi, were roughly similar to daemons who had condensed a daemon core. With how long daemons needed to cultivate for, it did not come without benefits. Their bodies were tough and their daemon qi was heavy, so they were much more powerful than humans of the same level. They basically possessed a one-sided advantage. Humans could only barely maintain a stalemate against them with spiritual artifacts and talismans as weapons. In the end, they would have to rely on intelligence and numbers to defeat daemons.

With the assistance from Xiao An who practised the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, Li Qingshan was obviously filled with confidence due to his strength. Since he knew it was impossible for Zhuo Zhibo to take a liking to him, and he was not a person who would bend over backwards to get people to like him, he would just go with the flow. However, in the eyes of onlookers, he seemed rather arrogant.

There was not a single person in the Clear River prefecture who was bold enough to say that Wang Pushi’s word did not count. At the very least, Zhuo Zhibo was not one of them. His expression changed a few times before recovering his composure. He even smiled a little, tossing the Black Wolf tablet back down. “Li Qingshan, you are now a Hawkwolf Guard. Wait down there.”

“Thank you for accepting me, commander Zhuo!” Li Qingshan clasped his hands, but he became even more cautious inside. People who could control their emotions were like venomous snakes hiding in the grass. They were even more terrifying than furious lions or tigers.

With that, the observing Hawkwolf Guards could not help but be taken aback, while the enlisting Qi Practitioners were thrown into an uproar. Just like that, the three positions had become two. The clown who was supposed to die in their eyes had actually passed directly using such a method, so the Qi Practitioners immediately felt that it was unfair.

“This is unfair! Why doesn’t he need to take part in the competition?” The Qi Practitioner who had confronted Li Qingshan and wanted him dead called out.

“He’s just a first layer Qi Practitioner. Even people like that can just join the Hawkwolf Guard?”
