140 Dumb Dog’s Struggle (2/2)

“Oh?”

“Then, out of concern, I think for now you ought to concentrate on recuperating. After that, you need to use this opportunity to further advance your cultivation as fast as possible. This is a rare opportunity, if you can…”

“Stop. Master, if there’s something you want to say, just say it. Based on our IQ, we don’t need to play circles like this. I prefer a straightforward talk.”

“Oh, very well then.” The woman in white obviously felt a bit disappointed since she couldn’t play out her painstakingly prepared script; wasn’t a caring teacher popular nowadays?

“I want your dog.”

Wang Lu nodded. “No way.”

“...” The woman in white froze for a moment and then smiled. “Maybe I didn’t say it clearly. I want your stupid dog that you picked from the Western Mountain. You named it Quan Zouqi. To be honest, I suspect there’s some kind of infringement on that name, but since you like it, then that’s okay.”

After such a long and sincere explanation, Wang Lu earnestly replied with the same sincerity and smile. “No way.”

“... Hey, it’s just a dog.”

“Hehehe, just a dog? Do you take me for a fool? If it’s just an ordinary dog, would you serve me with a cup of tea and let me touch your chest?” Wang Lu sneered, and then roared, “Qiqi, come here.”

No reaction...

“Stupid dog, come here.”

Thereupon, the stupid dog happily rushed in with mouth opened widely in a grin that could only appear on a mentally retarded.

Two or three hours ago, it and Wang Lu were seriously injured. However, at this time, Wang Lu was still recovering from his injury while the stupid dog looked like nothing ever happened to it; in fact, even its broken teeth had already grown back.

“Tell me, what kind of dog are you?”

The stupid dog tilted its head and looked at its master in bewilderment.

“Your breed, species, race… whatever it is that you understand. What exactly are you?”

The stupid dog froze for a moment, and then foolishly laughed while speaking in human language, “Oh, that’s what you want to ask. I am Fenrir.”

At the same time, the woman in white suddenly drew a gasp, however, she quickly hid her reaction while inwardly, she felt as if she wanted to cry but have no tears.

Wang Lu curiously glanced at his Master and then continued to interrogate the dumb mutt. “What is Fenrir?”

The stupid dog gawked. “How do I know?”

“Damn, you really are hopeless.” Wang Lu inwardly gave his appraisal of this stupid dog. But then, he hesitated, thinking that, should he give such a stupid dog to his Master to change her personality for the better?

However, at this time, the woman in white could no longer bear the humiliation anymore. She shook her head and left while inwardly consoling herself.

This Fenrir’s brain was obviously handicapped, and it was not a light handicapped either. This kind of early age defective quasi-mythical beast would suffer a very discounted value in price because no one could really be certain if this stupid dog was stupid because it was still in young age or because it was truly retarded.

That being the case, she would just let Wang Lu this fool and it have each other. After all, she was a dignified Jindan Stage cultivator, not a companion of the stupid dog.

A few days later, Wang Lu had completely recovered from his injuries. Moreover, his cultivation had a great progress. He directly crossed over the barrier to the high-level Qi Cultivating Stage, even so much that there was still a burst of ‘advancing by leaps and bounds’ in the high-level Qi Cultivating Stage. In Wang Lu’s own estimation, if he could advance several levels more, perhaps he could even reach the peak Qi Cultivating Stage, where he could prepare to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

Unfortunately, however, there was no such cheap thing. In these several days, the sudden burst of his cultivation speed could only happen because of a one-time payment of his previous year’s accumulation and even coupled with the energy from the use of Heaven Burning Blood Technique. If he wanted to continue to progress by leaps and bounds, he needed to take drugs or perhaps refine essences of a few monsters’ or cultivators and so on.

However, his current cultivation level was just right; his five years of reaching high-level Qi Cultivating was about the same as the other top level disciples. Although there were several Inner Court disciples who reached the high-level Qi Cultivating Stage in these recent years, however, using the nine level division, there was still a lot of difference.

Moreover, Wang Lu’s challenge level (in defense) was extraordinarily high. Right now, on the surface, he was just around level two or three Qi Cultivating Stage. However, if he really went all out, using his Innate Non-Phase Sword Qi… Low-level Xudan Stage Xiao Ming simply couldn’t break his defense.

From the over-rank challenge point of view, this was simply shocking. In general, in the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Regions, cultivators who could do this over-rank challenge were all talented geniuses. Qiong Hua of the Shengjing Sect and Spirit Sword Sect’s Liu Li, all of them belonged to the peerless rare talent that could only appear once in years

If Wang Lu’s challenge level were to be known by others, perhaps it would outshine Liu Li’s achievement in slaying the twelve Blood Cloud Demons.

However, as it stood now, only Wang Lu knew about this, and he himself has no intention to spread it just for the sake of vanity. There was another thing that mattered more to him.

Participating in the planning of the competition between the Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Spirit Sword Sect.

The main planner for this activity was the Heavenly Sword Hall Fifth Elder. And, as the Fifth Elder’s Successor Disciple and the only person on the Spirit Sword Mountain who has a similar way of thinking as her, he was duty-bound to be her assistant.

For a professional adventurer, personally getting into the stage and fighting was already outdated. Occupying a higher position and manipulating things like a chess player moving the chess pieces was the highest realm of an adventurer.

Friends from the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, I welcome you.
