People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

43: Chapter 43 Applying Knowledge! A Small Test”In this cave dwelling, there is actually another hidden world.”

After repeatedly confirming the information from the Diary, Xiao Ting’s heart was full of surprise.

His third brother, Xiao Yan, was the Child of Destiny. Logically speaking, whenever he appeared in a place with fortuitous encounters, it would be like a locust plague passing through—he would take everything.

In that cave dwelling, there were hundreds of thousands of gold coins, spiritual herbs planted by the owner during his lifetime, a Flying Dou Technique, a Mysterious Level cultivation technique, the Seven-Colored Poison Manual, and a remnant map of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

And that was actually just the surface-level harvest!?

”But it seems it can be explained logically.” Xiao Ting’s eyes showed anticipation.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian’s exploration of that cave dwelling hadn’t been very thorough.

Even one of the three boxes placed on the surface had been snatched away by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group; it was a fortuitous encounter that had been interrupted.

Interpreting it from another perspective, the person who left the inheritance could capture a Rank 5 Magical Beast, the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle, and use its wings and soul to create a Dou Technique.

Anything involving the soul level was definitely not weak, so an opportunity that could be taken away by a mere Dou Practitioner seemed very superficial indeed.

”Brother Yan found the deeply hidden remnant map of the Void Swallowing Flame, so he thought he had finished exploring it. Otherwise, he would definitely have gone back again.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Ting began to look forward to what gains he could find in the cave dwelling.

The night passed in silence, and the sun broke through the dawn.

Qingshan Town was a gathering place for mercenaries, and it began to get lively early in the morning.

Xiao Ting, Xiao Yi Xian, and Xun’er all woke up very early. After having breakfast together, they entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range on foot.

The trio of handsome man and beautiful women, all of whom were so young, immediately attracted the attention of countless people, leading to whispers and discussions.

”Is this some young master and young ladies out for a stroll?”

”So young. I wonder if they even have the strength of a Dou Practitioner. Aren’t they afraid of dying in the mountains?”

”Are you blind? Look at the badge that kid is wearing. He’s a four-star Dou Practitioner.”

”A four-star Dou Practitioner at such a young age... maybe he’s from a Dou Ling family. No wonder he has beauties accompanying him.”

”Heh, his talent is good, but with this strength, taking two young beauties into the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone... I’m afraid, tsk...”

”Afraid of what? There might be Dou Masters or even Great Dou Master guards in the shadows. I advise you not to court death.”

”...”

Gazes containing various emotions such as contempt, envy, jealousy, greed, prying, and wariness constantly appeared in the eyes of some mercenaries.

Xiao Ting casually recorded these matters.

This was also his observation of the Fighting Qi Continent.

The many faces of the world, the thousand aspects of humanity, and the weak levels that Dou Practitioners came into contact with.

After finishing the recording, Xiao Ting smiled at Xiao Yi Xian. ”It seems your changes are truly significant. No one actually recognized you.”

After Xiao Yi Xian awakened the Calamity Poison Body, her hair color, height, figure, skin condition, eyes, and temperament had all changed. Her features had become more three-dimensional and exquisite, and even her style of dress was different.

Unless someone was extremely familiar with her, they wouldn’t recognize her at all. A few of the surrounding mercenaries thought she looked familiar, but none recognized her identity.

”When I look in the mirror, even I feel like a stranger. It’s normal that others don’t recognize me.” Xiao Yi Xian’s expression was calm.

”It’s good that you think that way.” Xiao Ting nodded in approval. ”In Qingshan Town, how could anyone not know the Little Fairy Doctor?”

Hearing the teasing in Xiao Ting’s voice, Xiao Yi Xian cast a glance toward Xun’er.

”Yes, just like in Wutan City, everyone knows Brother Xiao Ting.” Xun’er spoke up for Xiao Yi Xian.

”Genius is always eye-catching. I’m also quite helpless about it.” Xiao Ting put on a helpless look. ”You’ll get used to it.”

”Brother Xiao Ting, stop being silly.” A hint of a smile and doting flashed in Xun’er’s eyes. ”Since last night, someone has been watching us in the shadows. Haven’t you noticed?”

”There isn’t even a single Dou Master. They’re too weak.” Xiao Ting spoke with a hint of disdain.

Knowing he was aware of the situation, Xun’er said no more.

After walking for a while, Xiao Ting looked up at the sky and said, ”I’ll go deal with the tails. We’ll need to pick up the pace in a moment.”

Xun’er and Xiao Yi Xian understood and went to stand under a large tree nearby.

Xiao Ting pretended he was going to relieve himself and walked into the bushes.

Swish!

As soon as he arrived at a clearing, three people leapt down from the trees, longswords in hand, their moves ruthless and lethal.

Bang!

The three men’s swords were blocked an inch away from Xiao Ting’s body.

”Dou Qi Gauze Robe!?”

Shock appeared in the eyes of the three men.

Weren’t they told to come and kill a four-star Dou Practitioner?

This was already a top-tier genius of Wutan City, but how could he be a Dou Master!?

Puchi!

Xiao Ting had no interest in explaining to three men who were already dead. His figure blurred as he struck out swiftly.

A longsword appeared in his hand out of thin air, slashing through the throats of the three men with lightning speed.

Ugh!

Clutching their throats, the three men collapsed with resentment.

They were only three seven-star Dou Practitioners. He didn’t even need to use a Dou Technique; he could simply crush them with his ”stats.”

This was the correct way for a Dou Master to kill a Dou Practitioner: absolute suppression of speed and power under the protection of Dou Qi Gauze Robe.

Swish!

Having dealt with three people with one sword, Xiao Ting didn’t feel any discomfort. He turned to look at a large tree and shot forward like a bullet.

”Retreat!” The panicked voice of a young man rang out.

He was a direct descendant of the Jia Lie Family, with a nine-star Dou Practitioner cultivation, and hoped to break through to Dou Master before the age of thirty.

But facing Xiao Ting, who could insta-kill three high-level Dou Practitioners with one sword, he didn’t have the slightest chance of winning.

Puchi!

If the young man had joined forces with the several clansmen beside him, they might have been able to resist Xiao Ting for a while.

But since he chose to flee, it became simple for Xiao Ting instead.

Plop!

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, many corpses lay around Xiao Ting.

One nine-star Dou Practitioner, three seven-star Dou Practitioners, and five five-star or six-star Dou Practitioners—all were from the Jia Lie Family.

One eight-star Dou Practitioner, two seven-star Dou Practitioners, and several mid-level Dou Practitioners—all were from the Oba Family.

Clearly, Xiao Ting and Xiao Zhan’s plan had worked, causing the Jia Lie and Oba families to send people out to intercept and kill them.

”I hope there will be a Dou Master next time.”

Xiao Ting put away his longsword and went back to regroup with Xiao Yi Xian and Xun’er.

”What’s the situation with this Rank 1 Blue Hawk?”

As soon as Xiao Ting stepped out of the bushes, he saw a large blue bird crouching in front of Xiao Yi Xian, affectionately nuzzling against her.

”I raised this one. Its name is Little Blue.” Xiao Yi Xian had a smile on her face. ”I saved it by chance when it was injured.”

”That’s perfect. We won’t have to travel on foot from now on.” Xiao Ting smiled as he took out a medicinal pill from his storage ring and handed it over.

This was an ordinary Rank 1 medicinal pill, specifically used to replenish the consumption of Dou Qi.

For a magical beast, it was like a specialized fasting pill that could also slightly increase its strength.

”Awoo~”

The Blue Hawk leaned forward to sniff it. After confirming there was no problem with the pill, it happily swallowed it with its beak.

After this small interlude, the three of them jumped onto Little Blue’s back and flew into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the cliff where Xiao Yi Xian had discovered the cave.

”Go straight down.” Xiao Ting nodded to Xiao Yi Xian.

”Little Blue, go to that cave.”

Little Blue dove down, its speed as fast as a gust of wind.

Just as they were nearing the huge rock in front of the cave, a sudden whistling sound rang out from the cliff face.

A huge Rock Snake that almost blended in with the mountain appeared, wings suddenly sprouting from its back as it opened its mouth to bite at Little Blue’s neck.

”Get lost!”

Xiao Ting was already prepared. Even before the Rock Snake’s sneak attack, he had begun to form hand seals and mobilize his Dou Qi.

”Snake Transformation Seal!”

Dense Dou Qi surged from his body, condensing into a several-zhang-long silver lightning snake that struck the Rock Snake’s vital seven-inch spot before it could land its attack.

Boom!

The Rock Snake didn’t even have time to let out a cry of pain before its body broke into several pieces, falling down the cliff like crushed stone and quickly disappearing from sight.
