Chapter 335 – Ocean Wielding (1/2)

“I didn’t hold back.” Li Qingshan casually pushed her aside. Ever since he realised he had misunderstood that day, he no longer thought of Ru Xin in any special way. This woman was just too twisted. She was constantly ready for mischief. He did not want to be toyed around with for nothing.

Ru Xin said, “You clearly could have won, but you lost. Isn’t that holding back?”

Combining the effort of five hundred people was not an easy feat, requiring extremely great discipline. Maintaining the Coiled Snake formation took tremendous energy too.

As long as Li Qingshan dragged it out, the formation would collapse on itself before long, and he would be able to defeat them all in the same way as before. Defeating these military disciples who had lost many people and much might would probably be even easier than last time.

“Don’t you feel that winning like that is very boring?” Li Qingshan laid back down. It was not like it was a battle to the death, so there was no need for him to rack his brain. The outcome was less important. What mattered was learning from it, training his body, and practising skills through it so that he could prepare for a certain day in the future.

“If there are spiritual stones up for grabs, it obviously isn’t boring.”

“Women just love to be petty. Have you ever heard of thinking for the long-term?”

“Wow, looking down on women.” Ru Xin squeezed Li Qingshan’s shoulder. “Your strength seems to have increased again.”

“One spiritual stone, two spiritual stones…”

“You-” Ru Xin was taken aback. Then, Li Qingshan grabbed her slender, white hand. “Now we’re on equal footing, so feel me however you want!” Although she was always so mischievous, he did feel that it was easier to get along with her.

“Keep dreaming!” Ru Xin smiled. Her face sank.

“Hahaha, Li Qingshan, to think that you would have a day like today. What are you doing? Ru Xin, tell me what’s going on?” Chu Tian rushed in like a whirlwind, pointing at Li Qingshan and laughing at him, but when he saw what they were doing, he immediately struggled to accept it.

“Li Qingshan, you- you- you-” Han Qiongzhi wanted to stop Chu Tian, but she just happened to see this too.

Even Ru Xin rolled her eyes. Just what have we done? You’re reacting like you’ve caught a cheating couple in bed.

Li Qingshan returned to Great War island and found Han Tieyi.

Han Anjun was currently giving a talk to the military disciples, while Han Tieyi stood to one side. Seeing Li Qingshan, Han Anjun made a gesture towards him with his lips.

Han Tieyi walked over and said to Li Qingshan, “Come with me.”

Li Qingshan followed Han Tieyi and arrived before a metal gate. Han Tieyi took out his waist tablet and opened the gate, entering the darkness. Gates opened and closed one after another as they rapidly travelled deeper underground.

Finally, he arrived at the very bottom. A formation glowed as a great streak of light shot up. As it turned out, the school of the Military’s formation was located here. All he could say was this truly was the school of the Military. With how strict the security was, the school of Novels could never rival it with how theirs was just located within a bamboo forest. However, he did not imagine that this was a library either, with battle skills everywhere.

Han Tieyi stopped and turned around. He said, “Thank you!”

Ru Xin could tell, so he obviously could tell too. His original reason for calling Li Qingshan over was to give the military disciples a sense of danger and an opportunity for actual battle, but ever since the chaos from the White Lotus cult, they could not afford to lose again.

Losing once or twice could motivate them, but if they kept losing, it would only damage the army’s morale. They were in desperate need of a victory so that they could rise up with force and spirit.
