PDLP Chapter 98 Extremely Lucky
Chapter 98 Extremely Lucky
Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, Bai Yan was unharmed and arrived beside Tao Tao and the others without losing a single point. He stood there calmly, as if he hadn't just been the one being attacked.
"This luck is unbelievable." Zhou Feng couldn't help but sigh. He had been on tenterhooks for so long, but it was all thanks to this person's good luck. Even with such low cultivation, he managed to survive until the end. How could he not admire him?
Tao Tao, however, sent a telepathic message to Bai Yan in surprise, asking, "Ayan, do you really want to participate in the martial arts tournament?"
But Bai Yan casually retorted, "Is it not allowed?"
"Of course you can!" No wonder he hasn't shown up. It turns out he's just too lazy to fight and wants to protect his points.
After the preliminary selection concluded, the sect leader gave a speech. A total of 1,658 people participated in the preliminary selection, and nearly 500 were eliminated. The disciples who advanced could choose any arena or compete on their own. The whole process was very free, and it was up to them to choose.
"Junior Sister Yue, thank you so much. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have passed the preliminary selection." Qin Xiyu was truly grateful to Tao Tao. If it weren't for Tao Tao, she wouldn't have passed the preliminary selection, nor would she have gained more points. After all, she knew her own cultivation level.
Tao Tao replied cheerfully, "Senior sister, what are you saying? I didn't do anything, I just stayed put."
Knowing that she might be being modest, Qin Xiyu didn't say anything more and directly took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Tao Tao. "These aren't high-grade pills, but I added a little something. They taste very delicious and can rival many delicacies in the mortal world. But the taste is only similar. Hmm... Each pill also contains a certain amount of spiritual energy. Junior Sister can eat them as snacks."
"Really?" Tao Tao's eyes lit up at the mention of food. She quickly took the food, opened it, and smelled it. It smelled delicious. "Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"
"I'm glad you like it. Although it doesn't have much spiritual energy, there is still a little bit. When you eat it, Junior Sister, please..." Qin Xiyu was just reminding her when Tao Tao lifted the bottle and ate it all in one gulp. After finishing, she was still a little unsatisfied and blinked her big eyes to ask Qin Xiyu, "Senior Sister, is there any more?"
"This... My cultivation level is low, and it has taken me half a year to refine so many. Now I don't have a single one left. Junior sister, will it be a problem for you to keep eating them like this?"
Qin Xiyu was very worried about Tao Tao's safety. Who replenishes their spiritual power like this? What if she gets sick from eating it? Zhou Feng, who was standing next to her, suddenly said, "How could she possibly have a problem? Didn't you see that she can even swallow a level four demon beast? What's a little bit of spiritual power to her?"
"That's true..." Thinking of what happened back then, Qin Xiyu had nothing to worry about anymore. Tao Tao always surprised her and his cultivation improved very quickly. He was not the same kind of person as her.
They were chatting happily when they saw that Bai Yan had already left. Tao Tao quickly followed and whispered, "Ayan, where are you going?"
"The D-level martial arts arena is about to start, aren't you going?" Bai Yan turned around and asked, catching Tao Tao off guard. Of course he was going, but why was he so eager?
Tao Tao certainly wouldn't object, and said with a smile, "Since we still have time, let's go check out the Rank D arena."
"Are you all going?" Zhou Feng originally wanted to rest for a few days before making a decision, as it wasn't easy to get a few points. But Tao Tao and the others actually set their sights on the D-level martial arts arena. He relied on Tao Tao anyway, so he couldn't let go of this big shot and hurriedly followed.
"I... I'm afraid of being a burden to you." Qin Xiyu didn't say directly whether she would go or not, only that she was afraid of being a burden. To put it bluntly, she wanted to go, but she knew her own abilities and was too embarrassed to bring it up. She was waiting for Tao Tao to take the initiative to invite her.
"Then let's go together." Tao Tao smiled sweetly, not exposing her, but instead taking the initiative to invite her. This made Qin Xiyu breathe a sigh of relief. She and Zhou Feng had the same idea now: to stick with Tao Tao for as long as possible, as long as Tao Tao didn't mind.
However, Tao Tao didn't care about them at all. Her mind was full of what Bai Yan was going to do, and her thoughts were entirely on him. However, Bai Yan didn't answer her questions even after she asked him several times. It seemed that he really just wanted to play around.
The four arrived at the Rank D arena and glanced at the rules at the entrance. Entry required two points, and it was also a team event, but this time it was two-person teams. Teams would compete to steal each other's nameplates. Obtaining other people's nameplates and keeping your own nameplate would earn you ten points. The more nameplates you obtained, the higher your points would be. The top three would receive rewards. Of course, if you just stayed put and kept your own nameplate, you could also get five points. The event lasted for a day and a night, and it was very difficult to keep your own nameplate during this process.
The rewards this time are a Grade 3 Qian Yuan Pill, a Heavenly Treasure Pentaprism, and a Heaven-Shaking Talisman.
Putting everything else aside, these three prizes alone are enough to make people with high cultivation levels compete for them.
Of course, some people with fewer points who want to win big with a small investment will also participate. After all, the Rank D arena is in a space where monsters, poisonous insects, and spiritual herbs are said to be released. There are even many magical artifacts and treasures. If you are lucky, you can get several rare items.
After glancing at the rules, I realized that Tao Tao and her friends had four people, but now they needed to team up in pairs, which was quite difficult to divide. Judging from Qin Xiyu and Zhou Feng's situations, they would definitely want to be on Tao Tao's team. As for Tao Tao, she would naturally want to be on Bai Yan's team!
"We need to team up in pairs, how should we split up?" Zhou Feng asked first. He was the last person who wanted to be separated from Tao Tao, since the rest of them were all Qi Refining cultivators. The D-level arena was full of dangers. Although they wouldn't die, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't get any points and would lose their registration fee.
Tao Tao frowned slightly, unsure of what to do. She glanced at Bai Yan and hesitated. She wanted to be with Bai Yan, but she couldn't ignore Qin Xiyu and Zhou Feng. She didn't know when to speak.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiyu suddenly suggested, "Why don't we draw lots? That would be fairer. If you don't agree, then you can team up with other people. We have to respect everyone's wishes."
What kind of idea is this? Zhou Feng rolled his eyes inwardly. It's completely leaving it to fate. If he gets assigned to Qin Xiyu or Bai Yan, he might as well be eliminated. But he can't afford to offend Tao Tao, so he can only smile and say on the surface, "Okay, it's all about your own strength anyway."
"Alright, let's begin." Qin Xiyu took out a fortune box from her storage bracelet and explained, "This is a little trinket I bought when I came down the mountain. It's not very useful, just something to play with. Now it's perfect for us. You can try to use your divine sense to explore it."
Upon hearing her words, Tao Tao and the others released their divine senses, and sure enough, they couldn't detect anything. They never expected that such a small gadget could block divine senses.
In this way, even if Zhou Feng was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything. Besides, Tao Tao and Bai Yan both agreed, so he had no choice but to nod.
"Let's draw lots. If we draw the same number, we'll team up together."
