20: Chapter 20 Elder Su Li

Mo Zixing took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Following the Mind-Cultivation Technique of the "Wave-Breaking Thunder Rush Technique," he rapidly circulated the spiritual power within his body.

Almost instantly, the lightning-attribute Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth converged frantically toward him.

Crackling sounds echoed around Mo Zixing as pale blue arcs of lightning danced incessantly between his hands.

The lightning-attribute spiritual power gathered, growing brighter and more violent, yet he held it firmly within his palms.

"Wave-Breaking Thunder, rise!"

With a low shout, Mo Zixing raised his hand and suddenly struck a palm toward the empty space in the courtyard.

Dazzling thunderlight erupted instantly.

The surging lightning-attribute spiritual power transformed into a rushing wave of thunder, crashing heavily onto the ground with a deafening roar.

Boom!

A loud explosion erupted, sending gravel flying.

The packed earth of the courtyard was blasted into a meter-deep crater by the thunder wave!

A moment later, the thunderlight dissipated.

A thick smell of burning still permeated the air.

Standing in the corner, Jiang Yuwei covered her mouth with her small hand, her eyes filled with shock.

She only knew that Senior Brother Mo wanted to test a new move, but she never expected the power to be this great!

Mo Zixing let out a long breath and looked at the crater he had made, feeling quite satisfied.

This power was incredible!

Let alone a Cultivator of the same level in the Qi Refinement Stage.

Even against a Cultivator in the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would definitely have the strength to fight back with this unexpected move!

Not to mention the exclusive Energy Convergence trait.

That move just now had actually consumed less than thirty percent of his spiritual power.

The spiritual power cost was remarkably low.

If a real fight broke out, if one hit didn't work, he'd do it again, and if that still didn't work, he'd do it yet again.

Who could withstand that?

Before he could enjoy himself enough.

A faint female voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall, penetrating through:

"It is late, and the Sect has rules."

"Did you not know that after nightfall, one is not allowed to make noise while practicing in the Outer Sect residences and disturb fellow Disciples?"

The moment the voice fell, a graceful figure drifted in without making a single footstep.

Mo Zixing looked up.

It was already dark, with only a hint of twilight remaining.

He could only see that the newcomer was completely wrapped in airtight black gauze, even her face was tightly covered, revealing only a pair of cold, calm eyes.

Yet even through the loose black gauze, her figure could be seen as plump and graceful.

She was ample where she should be, yet her waist was the complete opposite—slender.

Her curves were exquisite.

Even with only her eyes showing, she couldn't hide the seductive charm in her bones.

Mo Zixing smacked his lips inwardly and subconsciously activated the System to scan the newcomer.

The information panel popped up:

[Name: Su Li]

[Race: Human]

[Gender: Female]

[Cultivation: Fourth Level of Crystallization]

[Personality Traits:

1. Aloof: Prefers to be alone, does not easily establish relationships or act together with others.

2. Sect-oriented: Values the interests of the Sect, placing them above personal emotions.

[Innate Luck:

1. Planting Trees to Form a Forest (Blue): Wood Spirit Root affinity is much stronger than average; the Cultivation speed and effectiveness of wood-System Cultivation Techniques are superior.

2. Charm Bone (Purple): Peerless beauty, born with natural charm, making it extremely easy to gain the trust and favor of others.

3. Heavens Envy of Talent (White): Comprehension Ability far exceeds Cultivators of the same level, and Cultivation speed is incredibly fast, but natural Luck is extremely poor, leading to frequent calamities and bad Luck.

4. Slight Luck (Purple): Comes with a small amount of Luck blessing; Opportunity and Luck are slightly above average.]

[Acquired Luck:

1. completely destroyed appearance (Black): The face has suffered irreversible and severe trauma, and the appearance is completely destroyed.

2. Damaged Foundation (Black): The Dantian Foundation is damaged, making it difficult for cultivation to progress any further.]

Looking at the panel, Mo Zixing finally recalled her.

So it was her.

The last time he watched the Sect's annual minor competition, he had seen this Elder Su Li of the Inner Sect.

At that time, she was also tightly covered in black gauze, sitting in the furthest corner of the Elders' seats, remaining silent throughout.

He hadn't expected it was because of her completely destroyed appearance.

What surprised him even more was that this Elder Su also had Luck traits.

Although the highest was only purple, which couldn't compare to Jiang Yuwei's three gold Luck traits or Lin Fan's red Luck trait, it was at least a type of Luck trait.

It was just a pity that the influence of this white-quality [Heavens Envy of Talent] trait seemed a bit too strong.

Even with the purple-quality [Slight Luck], it couldn't stop her natural bad Luck.

[completely destroyed appearance], [Damaged Foundation].

Even her cultivation, the most important thing for a Cultivator, could not advance a single step.

Similarly, because of the Luck traits.

A favorability bar also appeared on the panel.

However, it currently showed only half a flame.

It was likely because of that [Sect-oriented] trait, leading to some dissatisfaction with his behavior of not following the Sect rules.

Mo Zixing silently asked the System in his heart:

"For someone with only purple Luck, if I develop a relationship with her, can I unlock more System functions?"

The System's prompt answered in his mind:

[Although the target carries a certain amount of destiny luck, it is only of purple quality, and her value is slightly lower than those carrying gold and red Luck traits.]

[However, if the Host successfully obtains the target's primal yin, it will also help in unlocking functions.]

Mo Zixing blinked.

The conclusion was that it would be best to win her over.

This also happened to align with his intentions.

This Elder Su Li, although her cultivation was stuck at the Fourth Level of Crystallization, at least her Comprehension Ability was Heaven-Defying.

Not to mention, with the Charm Bone trait, she was definitely a peerless beauty at her core.

If he could replace that black trait of a completely destroyed appearance...

Mo Zixing quickly retracted his thoughts and cupped his hands toward Su Li outside the courtyard gate, his tone respectful but not fawning:

"Disciple Mo Zixing greets Elder Su."

"I was reckless just now. I just obtained a new Cultivation Technique and felt an itch to try it out, which disturbed you, Elder."

"I know my mistake and will never make noise while practicing after nightfall again. I hope Elder can forgive me."

"Hmph, let this be the last time."

Through the black gauze, Su Li's eyes swept over the scorched crater in the courtyard, and she said no more.

With a step, her figure drifted away like green smoke, vanishing into the night in an instant.

"Senior Brother, was that lady just now... an Elder in charge of the Sect?"

Jiang Yuwei walked quickly to Mo Zixing's side, poked his sleeve, and asked in a low voice.

"That was Elder Su Li of the Inner Sect."

Mo Zixing rubbed the top of her head and replied:

"She was likely patrolling nearby and was drawn here by the commotion I just made."

"According to the Sect rules, one indeed cannot make such a big commotion in the Outer Sect residences after nightfall."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuwei looked up at the dark sky, stuck out her tongue, and sheathed her sword.

"Senior Brother, so what should we do now?"

"What should we do?"

Mo Zixing looked at his Junior Sister blinking at him, a wicked smile curling his lips as he reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Since we can't practice a Cultivation Technique, we shouldn't waste time."

"Naturally, we should improve our cultivation together."
