Chapter 11 It is normal to be short the first time
The next day.
Lu Bai arrived in front of the Phantom Demon Hall, feeling that everyone's gazes were strange, and some were even whispering. What happened?
"Look, Young Master Fu is here!" one person shouted.
Lu Bai focused his gaze and saw the flashy Fu Ziming swaggering over. Was he also going into the Phantom Demon Hall?
Then he'd probably really wet his pants!
"Lu Bai," Fu Ziming called out, his nostrils flared.
"What is it?"
"Don't think too highly of yourself. I will surpass you. The record for Qi Layer One is mine."
"Nonsense!"
"If you have the guts, let's compete!" Fu Ziming was annoyed by Lu Bai's disdainful look.
"Compete then! The loser gives the other ten thousand Spirit Stones!" Lu Bai was a bit annoyed, making an exorbitant demand.
"No problem, that's just a small sum!"
Fu Ziming was afraid Lu Bai would go back on his word and wished he could throw out his Qiankun Bag right then.
Lu Bai's mouth twitched. A small sum!
Alright! Poverty truly limited my imagination!
"What are you waiting for? Let's go in!" Fu Ziming rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Lu Bai ignored him, looking around.
Strange! Why hasn't Senior Sister arrived today?
"Lu Bai, are you scared?" Fu Ziming kept urging him.
The Elder on duty was also calling people, warning that the doors would close soon.
Lu Bai had no choice but to enter. After all, gaining favorability was one aspect, but Cultivating was also very important.
Swish! Swish!
Lu Bai and Fu Ziming landed simultaneously!
Lu Bai was already accustomed to it, but Fu Ziming was entering for the first time. He immediately stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
However, this fellow did have some skill and quickly stabilized himself.
Then he lifted his chin at Lu Bai, as if saying: "You're disappointed, Young Master, I didn't make a fool of myself!"
Lu Bai pursed his lips and said, "For the sake of being fellow Sect members, I'll remind you: the bet is secondary, your life is most important! If you can't hold on, crush the jade token and get out. Don't try to be brave!"
Although Fu Ziming was a bit annoying, he wasn't the kind of person who was rotten to the core!
"Hmph!"
Fu Ziming didn't appreciate it: "Just mind your own business! I must prove that Spiritual Bone is more useful than grinding, and you are not as good as me!"
With that, he took the lead and walked forward, taking several large strides.
Although he stumbled a bit, he managed to hold on.
Seeing this, Lu Bai sighed, this second-generation rich kid was no longer a nobody! However, if he underestimated the Phantom Demon Hall because of this, then he was gravely mistaken.
Fu Ziming steadied his mind and began to walk forward slowly, one step at a time.
Clearly, he wasn't as brainless as he appeared on the surface; he was very serious about winning against Lu Bai.
Lu Bai didn't move.
He estimated that Fu Ziming was similar to his own first time; he would probably exhaust himself after walking a dozen or so steps. He wanted to see how he would handle it.
Indeed!
After a dozen steps, Fu Ziming was panting, looking like he could collapse at any moment.
Snap!
He crushed a Medicinal Pill, put it in his mouth, and instantly recovered, looking radiant.
This works too? Lu Bai was dumbfounded!
Damn it! He forgot this guy was a rich second-generation. Others treasured a few Medicinal Pills like precious gems, while he ate them like candy.
Lu Bai shook his head, lifted his leg, and followed.
The two walked side by side, and anyone who didn't know would think they had a great relationship!
Near the thirtieth step, Fu Ziming started taking more Medicinal Pills.
But similar to Lu Bai's 'Spiritual Bone warm current,' the second time wasn't as effective as the first.
At this rate, Fu Ziming would definitely not make it to fifty steps.
As expected!
Around the forty-fifth step, he swayed, his legs trembling uncontrollably!
This was still under the Lucky circumstance of not encountering a Shadow Demon; otherwise, he wouldn't have even made it this far.
Compared to Lu Bai's 'maiden voyage,' Fu Ziming was still a bit lacking!
"Don't get cocky!"
Fu Ziming glanced at Lu Bai, stubbornly saying, "It's normal for the first time to be short. You weren't much better back then."
Lu Bai found that strange to hear!
"You just wait, I will definitely surpass you." After dropping a grand statement, Fu Ziming crushed his jade token and left.
Lu Bai smiled, not taking it seriously!
Without Fu Ziming, that annoying fly, Lu Bai began to focus on his normal Cultivation.
After this period of refinement, he had solidified his Qi Layer One Realm very firmly, and within this Phantom Demon Secret Realm, he could now walk nearly ninety steps.
Given time, Breaking Through a hundred steps would be effortless.
Hehe! What kind of expression would Senior Sister have then?
Putting away his thoughts, Lu Bai accelerated his pace forward.
The beginning was easy; only after seventy steps did he start to feel a little pressure.
After eighty steps, he had to burn his potential.
Ultimately, he successfully reached ninety-one steps.
He conquered the ninety-step mark, improving a little more than last time.
Swish! Lu Bai's figure appeared outside the hall.
"You haven't left yet?"
As soon as he came out, he saw Fu Ziming, who seemed to be specifically waiting for him.
"Here!" Fu Ziming threw a Qiankun Bag to Lu Bai: "Ten thousand Spirit Stones, no less, don't say I don't keep my word!"
Lu Bai probed it slightly, a smile appearing on his Face!
Although this guy had a ton of flaws, he did have a few advantage, and keeping his word was one of them.
"Poor fellow! Spend it sparingly, your Chixiao Peak will be even harder going forward," Fu Ziming said in a sarcastic tone.
Lu Bai frowned. What did he mean?
Seeing his confusion, Fu Ziming added a few more words: "Don't you know? Chixiao Peak's share for the next year has been reduced again! Ji Fuyao is currently arguing with my father!"
With that, Fu Ziming strode away, leaving Lu Bai with a gloomy expression!
So that's why Senior Sister didn't come to Cultivate today.
Ever since Master was crippled, Chixiao Peak has been declining, now reaching a point where they can barely make ends meet. Even so, they still want to reduce our share? Isn't that too much?
He remembered eight years ago, when Chixiao Peak was first cut, Master's wife caused a huge scene, igniting a Soul Transformation battle that threw the Sect into chaos.
Finally, the Sect Master personally intervened to quell it.
Master, for the sake of Face, ordered Master's wife not to meddle in these troublesome affairs anymore, saying to let them cut it.
After that incident, the Elder responsible for resource allocation also reined in a bit, no longer daring to intentionally target Chixiao Peak.
But in recent years, their desire to bully the weak has stirred again!
Although Master's wife no longer managed things, there was still Senior Sister.
She had slowly taken on the heavy responsibility, determined to restore Chixiao Peak's prestige.
Since those people were targeting Chixiao Peak again, she definitely wouldn't let it go.
It's just!
Even if Senior Sister was a heaven-sent genius, she was still young. How could her arm twist a thigh?
Lu Bai could imagine the scene: a Foundation Establishment Junior arguing forcefully against a group of Soul Transformation Elders! But in the end, nothing would change!
Was it anger? Despair?
But this was the cruel reality!
Lu Bai summoned his Flying Sword and rushed towards the Main Peak.
He wouldn't mention the past, but now, he didn't want Senior Sister to Face it alone!
