Chapter 352: The Polite Little Rabbit
As soon as the match ended, the boy next to the girl who had been challenged by Xu Gang gritted his teeth and jumped onto the arena.
It seemed he couldn’t win, but he thought, "Never back down, just go for it."
The boy struggled internally but looked at Xu Gang with a calm gaze, like a sniper calmly locking onto his prey.
“Interesting, you dare to come up after seeing my last move, which shows you have some skills,” Xu Gang said to the composed boy in front of him.
At this moment, Ji Muhua looked up from below the arena, observing the boy with a strange expression.
He knew exactly what level this kid was at; he estimated he would be taken down in three moves by Xu Gang.
The only praise was that the boy’s steady demeanor had the air of a skilled fighter.
“If I hesitate to step forward even in a sparring match, how can my heart (of a cultivator) remain steadfast?” the boy said lightly, as a Spiritual Sword appeared in his hand.
A sharp sword qi surged from the boy.
“Interesting,” Xu Gang’s eyes lit up, sensing that this boy was likely stronger than his close friend.
Suddenly, three images of the boy appeared on the arena, all charging at Xu Gang while wielding their Spiritual Swords.
“Great Sword Force!” Xu Gang praised.
Multicolored spiritual energy instantly filled the arena as a giant engulfed in chaotic flames emerged.
Out of respect for the boy’s calm demeanor, Xu Gang decided to start off strong.
The giant quickly transformed into a three-headed, six-armed figure and swiped at the boy.
“Ah~~~”
The audience heard a sound like meat hitting iron and saw a figure fly off the Hundred Spirits Arena.
“???”
Xu Gang withdrew the phenomenon and looked uncertainly at his close friend in the distance.
Was that figure who just flew out the boy’s true form?
Ji Muhua looked at the half-dead figure in the distance and nodded helplessly.
“The battle is over; Xu Gang wins.”
The referee’s voice echoed across the Hundred Spirits Arena.
At this moment, the crowd below wore strange expressions, and an indescribable emotion spread among them.
Their sect’s genius had just been knocked away with a single slap.
Xu Gang noticed the crowd’s reaction, nodded to Ji Muhua, and then brought his wife back to the cave where they were hosted.
In Volcano Fairy Town, the first clone carrying Xu Fan’s consciousness returned to the first Artifact Hall.
“Impressive, Number One, you managed to absorb the Phoenix Divine Fire!” Xu Fan exclaimed as he waved his hand, causing a small divine fire phoenix to flutter around him.
“Is this the reason you wanted to break free from my control? Quite a coincidence, isn’t it?” Xu Fan mused, leisurely controlling the first clone as it wandered around the Artifact Hall.
“I never intended to betray you; we are still one,” the voice of the first clone emanated from within.
“I know, and I trust you. Don’t be nervous; this matter can be resolved easily.”
“It doesn’t necessarily mean I have to erase your consciousness,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“I know that even if I go to the ends of the earth, even if I escape this realm, my life and death still lie in your hands,” the first clone’s voice came.
“Good that you understand. Right now, the sect doesn’t need you to craft magic artifacts. If you have time, you can work on the artifacts for our foolish disciples and take on other jobs if you feel like it,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Understood.”
“Great, then I’ll head back,” Xu Fan said as he directly retracted the consciousness from the first clone.
In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes.
“As expected of a clone from me, no ambition at all. You should be stirring up some trouble or planning an escape or something.”
“You’re even lazier than I am, wishing for nothing,” Xu Fan said with a hint of disappointment.
In his mind, the first clone should have had a complete plan to escape his control, but the reality was that it had nothing at all.
“Boring.” Xu Fan said as he entered his usual lazy mode.
In front of the main peak, in the garden by the spiritual liquid lake, two little deer were eating a spirit peach with a snow-white rabbit.
“Hey, when did this little rabbit arrive?” Xu Fan asked, looking at the snow-white rabbit.
“This is an auspicious beast often brought home by the Cloud Flower Deer as a guest; it benefits the growth of spirit herbs and spirit trees in the sect,” Grape explained.
“Oh, I see. I’ll make sure to treat it well next time it comes,” Xu Fan replied.
“Understood.”
At that moment, the little white rabbit, nibbling on a spirit peach, turned its head to glance at Xu Fan, who was drinking tea in the distance, and slightly nodded in respect.
“Such good manners! You can tell it comes from a great sect,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“This spirit herb rabbit likely comes from the Elder Council headquarters, an auspicious beast from the spirit herb realm, but I don’t know which specific area,” Grape added.
“Quite impressive.”
After saying that, Xu Fan began using his consciousness to control a Transformation Stage Iron Mischief Monkey puppet and started his daily training of the little spider.
Outside the fire spirit ore, countless spirit threads tightly controlled the little spider.
“Even though you’re a spider, you still can’t compete with me when it comes to playing with threads,” Xu Fan said with a smile at the little spider.
“Darn it, I lost to you again,” the Earth Crystal Spider said, handing a piece of empty bone to the Iron Mischief Monkey Xu Fan controlled.
“I’ve learned a thing or two from you; that’s why I lost.”
The empty bone was filled with the waste of fire ants, refined from inside the fire ants’ bodies, and it was the purest form of fire spirit ore, which could produce main cannon-grade shells without any refinement.
Xu Fan, holding the empty bone, smiled at the Earth Crystal Spider, “Still want to learn? I’ve got plenty of magical techniques here.”
“No thanks. Our Earth Crystal Spider clan has its own inheritance, which is quite powerful. We don’t need to learn right now,” the Earth Crystal Spider said, showing its sharp teeth while retracting its webs back into its body.
“Oh, then never mind,” Xu Fan said, using the Iron Mischief Monkey puppet to perform a magical technique.
A shadow of a Dragon Devouring Spider, engulfed in demonic fire, appeared behind the Iron Mischief Monkey, and soon the entire area was shrouded in a web magic array.
The Earth Crystal Spider was immediately frightened and fell to the ground, feeling the suppression from its bloodline.
“Dragon Devouring Spider?!”
“How do you know this technique?” the Earth Crystal Spider asked.
“Hehe, want to learn?” Xu Fan chuckled, looking quite pleased with himself.
He had encountered the Dragon Devouring Spider when he went fishing with Wang Yulun, where he caught a sea demon spider and discovered its remarkable essence.
Finally, he extracted half a drop of the Dragon Devouring Spider’s blood from it.
Xu Fan had reverse-engineered that technique using the half drop of blood.
“I want to learn it! I absolutely want to learn!” the Earth Crystal Spider exclaimed excitedly.
“Same old rule: bring over some fire ant waste for the trade,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Okay.”
The Earth Crystal Spider said and hurried back to the large nest of fire ants.
Xu Fan watched the Earth Crystal Spider’s retreating figure, squinting his eyes, and said, “Sometimes, what you think is harmful doesn’t always mean to hurt you.”
“It might not bring you great benefits, but it could also be harming you.”
“Pitfalls are everywhere.”
