130: Heading North

The next day.

Xiao Weiqing shouldered his tactical backpack and did not head in the direction of the volcano; instead, he walked north.

Inside the base, the three from the Tianlang Empire watched Xiao Weiqing's retreating figure, joy rising in their hearts.

They asked:

"Has that Genius from Daxia left the base?"

Hearing this, Ye Lei and Ding Yong became vigilant, their eyes cold.

"Why are you asking that?"

Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "Nothing, just asking casually. If we had known he was leaving, we would have treated him to a meal to see him off."

"As the old saying goes, we only get to know each other through fighting."

"Right... right..."

Lin Hai's two companions chimed in repeatedly.

Ding Yong mocked internally, "More like being beaten up."

Ye Lei and Ding Yong did not answer, letting them guess for themselves.

"A-Yong, let's go. Once we finish exploring the places in the teacher's documents, we'll go elsewhere to see the various Geniuses."

"Alright!"

Xiao Weiqing headed north.

Occasionally, he left unique marks along the way.

Approaching noon.

Xiao Weiqing looked up at the sky. There was no sun or other stars, yet the wilderness was incredibly bright, and he could clearly feel that the temperature was much higher than in the morning.

"What a peculiar world."

This ruin had been explored for many years, but Blue Star still had not figured out its operational logic and could only passively obey the rules of this ruin.

"Clang... clang... clatter... clatter..."

Suddenly, the sound of weapons clashing came from afar.

Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow.

He restrained his aura and walked towards the sound.

Passing through the bushes, he arrived near a small hill, where two groups of people were fighting.

One side had six people, all from Daxia, and Xiao Weiqing recognized the leader.

The other side had eight people.

"Teng Hai, 8 against 6, you have no chance of winning."

"Get lost. We are taking over this patch of Star Tear Orchids."

Xiao Weiqing looked behind the two groups. The small hill was covered in strange purple grass. The plants were not tall, their leaves were as deep as purple jade, and Spiritual Veins seemed to flow within the leaf veins, gathering at the tips, crystal clear.

Star Tear Orchids—this was a Spiritual Liquid one Rank higher than the moon spring spirit liquid.

"Screw you."

Teng Hai cursed angrily. His arm was already injured, but he still did not want to give up. This large patch of Star Tear Orchids was definitely worth a fight.

"Brother Hai, what should we do?"

"Should we just retreat? We have already obtained two bottles of Star Tear Orchids; there is no need to fight them to the death. As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood, and there are plenty of Opportunities waiting for us."

"Exactly, Brother Hai. Besides that Level 6 Extraordinary Talent, they also have a Spirit Cultivator with Level 5 Extraordinary Talent. We are no match for them."

"In the end, it's us who dragged Brother Hai down."

The Daxia Trainees advised Teng Hai.

"Enough, don't say such things. Let's go."

If Teng Hai were alone, he would not be afraid, as he had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Second Dan, but the remaining five were all at the First Dan Realm.

"Wait!"

"What else do you want?" Teng Hai glared at them.

"We don't want anything else, just hand over the Star Tear Orchids you collected, and you can leave."

"Get lost!"

"Do you really think we are easy to bully?"

Possessing a Level 6 Extraordinary Talent, when had Teng Hai ever suffered such humiliation?

"Hmph!"

"Then don't blame us."

A youth with a feminine appearance walked out slowly, and Teng Hai immediately became vigilant.

It was this Spirit Cultivator who had influenced him just now, causing him to be ambushed. If he had not also opened his Sea of Consciousness, he might have really fallen here.

This youth smirked, and his Mental Energy spread out.

He walked step by step towards the Daxia camp.

Suddenly, the youth's footsteps faltered.

"There's someone else?"

"Come out!"

The youth let out an angry shout, and an attack condensed from Mental Energy struck into the bushes.

"Pfft!"

Like a small pebble sinking into a pond, it did not cause much of a ripple.

"Click... click..."

A robust figure walked out with steady steps.

It was Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing's appearance made both sides instantly vigilant.

"When did this person arrive? There wasn't any movement at all."

Wu Yi looked at Xiao Weiqing with a solemn expression. He had opened his Sea of Consciousness for several months, and his Mental Energy was close to Rank 23.

If his Mental Energy hadn't burst forth, he wouldn't have detected Xiao Weiqing either.

Wu Yi slowly retreated back to the Tianlang Empire camp.

A Short-haired Youth with a large build said, "Friend, I am Tu Junze from the Capital Prefecture of the Xuanwu Kingdom. May I ask how to address you, friend?"

Tu Junze could not gauge Xiao Weiqing's stance or his strength, but to be able to approach them so silently meant his strength could not be underestimated.

Xiao Weiqing ignored Tu Junze.

Since he had been discovered, there was no need to hide.

He turned to look at Teng Hai, "I want half of the Star Tear Orchids!"

"Screw you, Xiao Weiqing, you really have the nerve to ask?" Teng Hai laughed and cursed.

Teng Hai laughed in exasperation, but he felt more relieved. As an opponent, Xiao Weiqing was undoubtedly terrifying, but as a teammate, he was undoubtedly reassuring.

Xiao Weiqing shrugged, "You can haggle."

"One-fifth at most."

"Not enough, one-third."

"No, just one bottle, it's worth at least 10,000 points."

Teng Hai threw a bottle over, and Xiao Weiqing caught it and weighed it.

"Deal!"

Seeing this, Tu Junze inwardly thought, "Not good, they know each other."

"Watch out!"

Wu Yi shouted a warning.

"Above, dodge quickly!"

However, it was already too late.

"Flame Dome!"

Like a doomsday judgment, dazzling flames descended from the sky, landing in the Xuanwu Kingdom's camp.

"Boom!"

With a violent explosion, several people with weaker strength were blown away directly.

Only Tu Junze and Wu Yi barely managed to dodge.

"Clang!"

The Red Dragon was unsheathed, closing in on Wu Yi.

"Slash!"

Wu Yi was greatly alarmed. In his perception, Xiao Weiqing's blade swing was unavoidable.

"Get away!"

Wu Yi's Mental Energy surged wildly, and he fought with Xiao Weiqing.

On the other side, the moment Xiao Weiqing made his move, Teng Hai also rushed towards Tu Junze. Also possessing a Level 6 Extraordinary Talent, in a one-on-one situation, Teng Hai was definitely not afraid.

"Bang! Pow!"

After a few blade strikes, Wu Yi was knocked flying like a ball.

"Tu Junze, let's go!"

At this moment, Wu Yi was in excruciating pain. He was simply no match for Xiao Weiqing. After just a few moves, his Mental Energy was exhausted, and he had no power left to fight.

Seeing this, Tu Junze did not linger in battle either; this Xiao Weiqing's strength exceeded his expectations.

"Tiger Roar!"

Tu Junze let out a low shout.

The air trembled, and countless flying stones hovered in the air before shooting out, attacking Xiao Weiqing and Teng Hai with a whistling sound.

The two leaped up, dodging the attack.

Tu Junze and Wu Yi hurriedly took their heavily injured companions and fled the scene.

Watching the people from the Xuanwu Kingdom flee, Teng Hai did not pursue.

"Thanks, Xiao Weiqing."

"How will you thank me?"

"..."

"Xiao Weiqing, you guy, you really don't know how to be polite at all."

"We're so familiar, why be polite?"

"Damn it!"

Teng Hai gritted his teeth in hatred. If he weren't unable to beat Xiao Weiqing, he would definitely let Xiao Weiqing know why his Ghostly Nether Flow Fire was so blue.
