386: Chapter 386 The Increasingly Powerful Nirvana Warrior

In the days that followed...

Xiao Weiqing cultivated desperately, sleeping only one or two hours a day.

He challenged one Nirvana Warrior every day. Aside from a few whose strength was slightly lacking, none of the First-Class Nirvana Warriors he had previously slain were easy to deal with. Xiao Weiqing had to activate his Domain and give his all to kill them.

Among them, encountering a sword-wielding Nirvana Warrior was a close call.

Even within the Domain, it still managed to wound him. That sword actually left its hand, similar to Sword Kinesis, moving so fast that Xiao Weiqing almost couldn't react in time.

Xiao Weiqing possessed an intense desire to activate his Divine Body.

In addition to the First-Class Nirvana Warriors, Xiao Weiqing would clear out the second and third classes once Lou Xiaoxing and the other two had finished their challenges.

As a result...

He also discovered the patterns behind the strength growth of the Second-Class and Third-Class Nirvana Warriors.

For a Second-Class Nirvana Warrior, their strength would increase once for every three times they were slain, with each increase being roughly thirty percent.

For a Third-Class Nirvana Warrior, their strength would increase once after being slain five times, growing by twenty percent.

Consequently, Xiao Weiqing's hope of possessing a massive amount of nirvana stones fell through. At this rate, even the Third-Class Nirvana Warriors would become troublesome in another half a month.

The Reinforcement might even become so great that facing one in a duel would be life-threatening for him.

Another ten days passed.

By now, Xiao Weiqing had slain another round of First-Class Nirvana Warriors.

He had also cleared three rounds of Second-Class Nirvana Warriors, whose strength had now doubled. This caused Lou Xiaoxing to complain incessantly, as he could now only slay one Second-Class Nirvana Warrior per day.

As for the Third-Class Nirvana Warriors, Xiao Weiqing had slain nearly a hundred.

At this moment...

Xiao Weiqing's room was piled high with nirvana stones, including seventeen black first-grade nirvana stones the size of golf balls.

There were over sixty second-grade nirvana stones arranged neatly on the table.

As for the third-grade nirvana stones, there were nearly a hundred, which Xiao Weiqing had casually tossed into a corner.

Such a vast quantity of nirvana stones was enough to drive anyone mad. Every time Xiao Weiqing opened his door, he could feel Yin Wenzheng and Tian Zhenzhen's gazes drifting toward them.

The two of them actually knew this was inappropriate, but they couldn't help it. Xiao Weiqing's daily harvests were so massive that they couldn't help but notice; they simply couldn't control their eyes.

...

*Knock knock~*

"Xiao Weiqing, it's your turn."

Xiao Weiqing walked out of his room and saw Lou Xiaoxing's resentful expression. He asked curiously:

"What's wrong?"

"I failed," Lou Xiaoxing said helplessly.

"The second class?"

"Yeah. Their strength has increased by more than double. Their speed, power, and recovery capabilities are incomparable to before," Lou Xiaoxing sighed. From now on, he would no longer be able to obtain second-grade nirvana stones.

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. It was as expected. He knew that with the Second-Class Nirvana Warriors' strength increasing again, they were now comparable to the first generation of First-Class Nirvana Warriors. It was perfectly normal that Lou Xiaoxing couldn't kill them.

"Then just slay the Third-Class Nirvana Warriors."

"You should go instead. How can I fight ten at once? If I go, I'll just be wasting the opportunity."

Regardless of the class, once a Nirvana Warrior was slain, it could not be challenged again. If Lou Xiaoxing went and only managed to kill five, they would be at a loss.

Because the remaining five would be considered fish that escaped the net.

Xiao Weiqing was different; he could slay them all.

This was also why the Second and Third-Class Nirvana Warriors' strength grew so rapidly—because they never survived past the day they appeared.

*Swoosh~*

The first door was opened.

*Thud~*

A blood-soaked Tian Zhenzhen collapsed forward. Lou Xiaoxing blurred forward, catching her and picking her up. He then walked toward Tian Zhenzhen's room, and to Xiao Weiqing's surprise, he was actually allowed inside.

Xiao Weiqing now understood why Yin Wenzheng had said Tian Zhenzhen was crazy. Even though the Third-Class Nirvana Warriors' strength had increased by forty percent, this woman still challenged them once every two days, leaving herself covered in wounds every single time.

Once, she had suffered a fatal wound and almost didn't make it.

...

The next day.

Early morning.

Xiao Weiqing finished his night of cultivation and went to the main hall to stretch. He happened to see Lou Xiaoxing coming out of Tian Zhenzhen's room.

This time, he walked out on his own instead of being kicked out.

"How is she?"

"She's fine. After resting for a day, she'll be up and jumping around tomorrow."

Xiao Weiqing asked further, "The two of you didn't..."

"No, how could we?"

Lou Xiaoxing hurriedly interrupted, "Tian Zhenzhen is injured. No matter how much of a beast I am, I wouldn't do something like that."

"That's good then. I was afraid you'd take advantage of her vulnerability."

"?"

"Is that the kind of person I am in your heart?" Lou Xiaoxing said, speechless.

Xiao Weiqing thought for a moment and said, "Pretty much."

"Sometimes I really want to give you a good beating." Lou Xiaoxing clenched his fists, trying hard to restrain himself.

"You can't beat me."

"You bastard! Don't be so smug. I'll definitely reach the Eighth Realm before you. Don't come begging me then."

The corners of Xiao Weiqing's mouth curled up. "Even if you reach the Eighth Realm, you're still no match for me."

If Lou Xiaoxing reached the Eighth Realm, he would at most be at Ye Sinan's level. Given Xiao Weiqing's current cultivation speed, it was entirely possible for him to reach the Eighth Realm before leaving the ruins.

Unless Lou Xiaoxing reached the Ninth Realm, he would never be Xiao Weiqing's match in this lifetime.

"Fine, you just wait."

Lou Xiaoxing said fiercely.

The two did not continue that topic.

After a long while...

Lou Xiaoxing spoke up, "I want to give Tian Zhenzhen three second-grade nirvana stones."

Xiao Weiqing gave Lou Xiaoxing a surprised look. "So generous? You're really going all out for her."

Lou Xiaoxing's first-grade nirvana stone had been given to him by Xiao Weiqing. He had only obtained about ten second-grade nirvana stones by killing Second-Class Nirvana Warriors himself, though he had quite a few third-grade ones.

He was discussing this with Xiao Weiqing because as long as Xiao Weiqing wanted to, he could sweep through any class of Nirvana Warrior and obtain even more nirvana stones.

Among the three of them...

Aside from Lou Xiaoxing being able to stably kill Second-Class Nirvana Warriors, the other two had to rely on luck even to kill Third-Class Nirvana Warriors. It was only because Xiao Weiqing was looking out for them; otherwise, all these nirvana stones would belong to Xiao Weiqing.

In fact, Xiao Weiqing could have killed all the Nirvana Warriors himself and then handed out a few stones to the three of them as charity.

But he was afraid they might have other thoughts.

Of course...

Xiao Weiqing could also just ignore the three of them, but there was no need. He would still need Yin Wenzheng later. With so many nirvana stones, Xiao Weiqing wanted to take as large a share as possible, so he needed to use some tactics and have Yin Wenzheng provide cover.

Facing Xiao Weiqing's question, Lou Xiaoxing shrugged and said:

"I don't know why either. How should I put it?"

"When I first saw her, I felt she was different. Have you ever had that feeling? A very special feeling that's hard to express."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "I haven't, but I understand."

"You do?"

"Yeah. That's how my girlfriend is toward me."

Lou Xiaoxing: "?"

"Are you freaking showing off in front of me?"
