Chapter 324 - Are You Insane?
“You dare fight back?” the opposing outer disciple snarled in rage. He hadn\'t used his full strength in the earlier strike and felt humiliated that he couldn\'t suppress someone merely at the fourth level.
“Is there a problem?” Liu Wuxie said without a hint of emotion in his tone as he kept the mission in his pocket. This person was only in the eighth-level True Core Realm, and Liu Wuxie could easily kill him with one strike using the Primordial Astral Fist.
He ignored the man and headed in another direction, planning to pick a few more missions to further his training outside.
“You want to leave? Hand the mission over first!” The man sprang up, charging towards Liu Wuxie with stronger momentum.
The earlier clash had cleared ample space for their duel. Similar conflicts over missions erupted in various locations.
Liu Wuxie became furious at this scene. Did everyone think he was a pushover because his cultivation was in the fourth-level True Core Realm?
“Get lost!” Liu Wuxie roared, and the suffocating astral energy manifested into a massive star. He didn’t hold back this time and mobilized seventy percent of his true essence.
As fights often took place in the Mission Hall, the surrounding walls were constructed with unique materials capable of absorbing the impact of true essence.
A powerful outburst of energy swept out from Liu Wuxie and his opponent. The outer disciples with lower strength were all sent flying from the shockwave, losing their balance.
Facing the suppression of astral energy, Liu Wuxie’s opponent kept retreating with a grim expression. He felt humiliated for failing to take down Liu Wuxie twice in a row.
“There’s something unusual about this brat. He’s fine even after taking two attacks from someone in the eighth-level True Core Realm.” Those in the surroundings looked at Liu Wuxie with surprise. Even if someone in the eighth level only used half of their strength, it wasn’t something someone in the fourth level could withstand.
“His true essence is much stronger than a typical cultivator in the True Core Realm.” Someone noticed that Liu Wuxie’s true essence was unbelievably powerful.
“His name is Liu Wuxie. I bet you all still don’t know about it. He won tens of thousands of spirit stones from Su Ji and others in the Book Collection Hall a few days ago. Even Deacon Kou lost his position as a deacon because of him.” Someone recognized Liu Wuxie as many people were in the Book Collection Hall.
“I’ve also heard of him. I heard that he’s a priority disciple who joined this year.” More people began to recall Liu Wuxie’s information because of his status as a priority student and the incident in the Book Collection Hall.
After learning that Liu Wuxie had won over eighty thousand spirit stones in the Book Collection Hall, many people gloated, some with ill intentions.
Even the wealthiest outer disciple only had a little over ten thousand spirit stones, so how could everyone not envy Liu Wuxie’s wealth when he had just joined the sect?
“So what if his true essence is strong? Let’s see how long he can hold his ground. Cao Wenkang is notorious for his brutality, and Liu Wuxie won’t get away easily.” The disciples of the Earth Force Peak were filled with hatred for Liu Wuxie. Many had lost their spirit stones to Liu Wuxie in the Book Collection Hall.
The man attacking Liu Wuxie was called Cao Wenkang, a Profound Inscription Peak’s disciple. He had been in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for over two years, with a deep establishment in the sect.
“Brat, hand over all your spirit stones, and I’ll let this matter go!” Cao Wenkang approached Liu Wuxie with a sinister smile, demanding Liu Wuxie to hand over all his spirit stones domineeringly.
Many people gathered in the surroundings, but no one stood up for Liu Wuxie, and instead, they added fuel to the fire.
“Let’s see if you have the strength to accomplish that!” Faint murderous intent swept out from Liu Wuxie. He wouldn’t mind killing someone to intimidate everyone from coming after him.
When Cao Wenkang was going to make a move, two figures suddenly appeared before him.
“Cao Wenkang, who do you think you are to go after Junior Brother Liu?” Bai Lin and Tang Tian arrived. They were in another region but came over upon hearing the commotion. When they saw that one of the parties was Liu Wuxie, they didn’t hesitate to stand up against Cao Wenkang.
Most importantly, they were all in the eighth-level True Core Realm, evenly matched with Cao Wenkang. Two against one, Cao Wenkang would be in a disadvantageous position. If he persisted in acting against Liu Wuxie, he would have to face Bai Lin and Tang Tian.
“Bai Lin, you two are disciples of the upper region, but you two mingle with someone from the lower region? You two are pathetic!” Cao Wenkang sneered with contempt on his face.
“Junior Brother Liu, are you alright?” Bai Lin and Tang Tian ignored Cao Wenkang’s mockery and turned to look at Liu Wuxie with concern.
“I’m fine!” Liu Wuxie knew that Bai Lin and Tang Tian were standing up for him out of goodwill and considered him a friend.
“Junior Brother Liu, are you planning to take missions?” Tang Tian asked respectfully.
“Yeah.” Liu Wuxie nodded. He needed points to exchange for spiritual herbs and planned to leave the sect for some time.
“Junior Brother Liu, we’ve taken a few missions and still lack people. Why don’t you join us?” Bai Lin asked.
Liu Wuxie felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that Bai Lin wanted to look out for him beyond the confines of the sect.
Many Mission Hall members also chose to form teams to complete missions. They would mostly choose fellow disciples with the same cultivation as them, and no one would find someone with a much lower cultivation than those like Bai Lin and Tang Tian.
After all, having a team member with low cultivation was bound to be a burden, and no one was willing to let someone with low cultivation join them.
“What mission did you two take on?” Liu Wuxie had no objections and wanted to know what missions these two had taken. He would instead choose to act alone if the points were too low.
Bai Lin and Tang Tian took out the three missions they had chosen. Two were to hunt profound beasts, while the remaining was to deliver a letter. The missions weren’t challenging, and they rewarded one hundred points in total. If one hundred points were divided into three, each would obtain thirty-three points.
“These missions can be completed in five days at most, but I plan to leave the sect for a month. So I plan to take on several missions.” Liu Wuxie shared his thoughts. This was because he wanted to reach the fifth-level True Core Realm within a month.
“But the good missions are already taken, and the remaining missions are either too dangerous or too difficult.” Most good missions were taken by disciples in the ninth-level True Core Realm, while yellow missions rewarded too few points.
As the number of missions on the walls decreased, people gradually left the Mission Hall.
Liu Wuxie’s gaze fell onto the purple wall. There were about a hundred missions left, but they were tough. Several missions offered high points.
Scanning through the wall rapidly, Liu Wuxie’s gaze locked onto five missions offering six hundred points. With a flash, he took the five mission slips into his hand.
“Junior Brother Liu, are you insane?!” Bai Lin exclaimed anxiously. He had spoken out of concern for their friendship; if it had been anyone else, he wouldn\'t have bothered to intervene.
“Hahaha! I thought you were a genius, but you’re an idiot!” Cao Wenkang hadn’t left yet, and he laughed at this sight. The five missions Liu Wuxie took were purple, and their difficulty wasn’t inferior to black missions.
Even those in the ninth level of the True Core Realm showed a hint of disdain in their eyes. Moments ago, they had held Liu Wuxie in high regard, but now they saw him as nothing more than a reckless fool.
“I have my plans!” Liu Wuxie waved his hand, signaling Bai Lin to stop persuading him. Since he had chosen these missions, he naturally had a way to complete them.
Bai Lin couldn’t say anything more after listening to what Liu Wuxie said. The three passed through the crowd and left the Mission Hall.
“Brat, you better come back alive because our feud has yet to be resolved!” Cao Wenkang sneered. Bai Lin’s appearance had disrupted their fight. This meant the issue between him and Liu Wuxie was still unresolved.
Liu Wuxie couldn’t be bothered with Cao Wenkang. If there weren’t so many people around, he would’ve slapped the latter to death.
The three stopped in a secluded spot, and Bai Lin and Tang Tian looked at Liu Wuxie with concern.
“I understand your worries, but I’ll find a way to complete them since I’ve taken the missions. Thanks for standing up for me earlier.” Liu Wuxie cupped his fists at the two before heading down the mountain. These missions were too dangerous, and he didn’t want to drag these two into them.
Bai Lin and Tang Tian looked at Liu Wuxie’s silhouette before exchanging a gaze with a hint of determination in their eyes.
“Junior Brother Liu, wait for us!” Bai Lin called out to Liu Wuxie.
“Junior Brother Liu, I can’t see you put yourself in danger when you saved my life. We’ve decided to join you in your mission.” Tang Tian said in a determined tone, willing to put his life at risk for Liu Wuxie.
“Have you two thought it through? There’s a high possibility that the five missions might be a one-way trip for us.” Liu Wuxie asked solemnly. He knew the difficulty of the five missions because even outer disciples in the ninth-level True Core Realm wouldn’t dare to take them casually.
“We’ve thought it through!” Bai Lin and Tang Tian replied, showing their determination and willingness to risk their lives for Liu Wuxie.
The two were even ready to die if it meant bringing a smile to Liu Wuxie’s face. His strength was beyond the comprehension of others, and even black missions weren’t too challenging for him.
However, since he had just joined the sect, he didn\'t want to stand out too much.
“Which missions should we start with?” Since they had decided to team up, they combined all the missions to pick a time-saving route.
Bai Lin and Tang Tian were more familiar with the terrain than Liu Wuxie, and the two naturally took charge of their schedule.
After a brief discussion, they decided to head to the Scarlet Sun Mountain Range first to harvest the Snow Lotus Root and another spiritual herb before hunting demonic beasts. As for the five missions Liu Wuxie had taken, they hadn’t figured out how to proceed yet.
“This trip will roughly take a month, and we must gather supplies.” Bai Lin took on the responsibility of gathering supplies, and they headed to a big city a hundred miles away after leaving the sect.
This city thrived because of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and the powerful clans that inhabited it had intricate connections with it.
The trio reached the city before dark. They planned to rest for the night before continuing their journey the next day. They spent over a thousand spirit stones on tents, food, rations, and medicine.
“Junior Brother Liu, why did you buy so many things?” Bai Lin asked when they left the shop because Liu Wuxie bought too many supplies that could last more than a month.
