169: Chapter 169 What is he waiting for?

The locations of the Dragon Transformation Pool were basically decided.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, forget it, I think the small Dragon Transformation Pool suits me very well."

"Exactly, is there any point in fighting over it?"

"Look at my pool, it is even shaped like a strawberry. How cute!"

The crowd laughed and walked toward the Dragon Transformation Pool they had chosen, the scene turning unexpectedly harmonious.

At this moment.

An unharmonious voice came over.

A male student smiled lewdly, "Everyone is about to enter the pool. Being able to see beauties with their clothes drenched is also a wonderful thing."

Between the Dragon Transformation Pools, scattered mountains blocked the view, originally making them mutually undisturbed.

Only the pool in the very center, because of its largest area, allowed the scenery inside to be seen from all angles.

This remark made all the female students present feel offended.

Although they were not going to the central pool, just thinking about that boy's disgusting thoughts left a thorn in their hearts.

Of course, the one with the biggest headache was Bai Wanqing.

Her junior brother had good intentions, but she never expected such an awkward situation.

Everyone's gaze turned toward Bai Wanqing.

Bai Wanqing was simply wearing a standard-issue black robe. Although all parts of her body were covered, her exquisite figure was still faintly discernible.

Especially her coiled hair, paired with faint water stains, made her appear extremely charming.

If she were to fall into the water, it would truly be full of temptation.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xingchen roared at those boys, "Keep looking and I will dig your eyes out!"

The few boys shrank their necks and withdrew their gazes.

But the impact left by those words still remained.

Seeing Shen Xingchen like this, Bai Wanqing just smiled, "Senior Sister can still handle such a minor issue."

After saying that, she headed toward the central Dragon Transformation Pool.

She stepped onto the surface of the water with one foot.

Snap—

Purple-white electric arcs followed beneath her feet, flickering with lotus-like patterns.

This spiritual energy pattern actually lifted Bai Wanqing's body.

Following closely was the second step.

Snap—

The same purple-white electric arcs.

Bai Wanqing thus walked on the surface of the pool as if walking on flat ground.

"Holy shit!" Someone was shocked.

"How can thunder be controlled to this extent?"

"No way, are all the people under Xue Hezai monsters!?"

Shen Xingchen also looked at Bai Wanqing in amazement.

He had noticed earlier that Senior Sister's [Myriad Thunders Return to Void Guide] had been cultivated to the Grandmaster level, even more advanced than his own.

He hadn't expected that a Grandmaster-level [Myriad Thunders Return to Void Guide] could control lightning to this degree!

If Senior Sister were to cultivate the [Heaven-Extinguishing God-Slaying Slash], it would likely go very smoothly as well.

Bai Wanqing stepped on the purple-white lotus flowers step by step toward the center of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

At the very last step.

The purple-white lightning beneath her feet suddenly became even more turbulent, directly forging a purple-white lotus dais.

Bai Wanqing smiled and glanced at Shen Xingchen, seeing his dumbfounded expression.

Seeming to have found her confidence as a Senior Sister again, her eyes curved into a smile as she said, "Want to learn? Once this is over, Senior Sister will teach you!"

"Alright!" Shen Xingchen replied without the slightest hesitation.

Bai Wanqing responded with a smile.

She sat upright on the purple-white lotus dais, closing her eyes like Guanyin descending to the mortal world, sacred and inviolable.

The spiritual qi of the pool water rose toward the surface, being guided bit by bit to the lotus dais, slowly cleansing Bai Wanqing's foundational bones.

The other girls saw this in their eyes.

Bai Wanqing's exquisite method of controlling thunder had resolved her own awkward problem.

But they still felt that the lewd man's words made them feel uncomfortable inside.

Having come this far, giving up was impossible.

The girls helplessly headed toward the pools they had chosen.

Some girls even traded positions with boys just to go to more secluded pools.

Senior Brother Xiaopang also chose a decent pool to cultivate in.

Shen Xingchen casually chose a spot and sat cross-legged.

He had a faint feeling earlier, and now it was even stronger.

If he chose to absorb the energy of the Dragon Transformation Pool, the dragon vein would gather all the spiritual qi over.

Everyone here would be unable to cultivate normally.

His senior brothers and senior sisters all needed to cultivate; this was the opportunity they deserved, and Shen Xingchen did not want to ruin it.

Shen Xingchen's actions immediately attracted the attention of quite a few people.

"What is Shen Xingchen doing?"

"There are still two empty spots, why isn't he going?"

"Maybe... he wants to adjust himself to his best state before going down."

Although surprised, they all still needed to cultivate, so they only briefly discussed it and fell silent again.

Shen Xingchen sat like this for a whole day.

He couldn't even cultivate normally.

Because Shen Xingchen could already feel the restlessness of the subterranean dragon vein; they couldn't wait any longer and only needed an opportunity to surge over.

At the same time, Shen Xingchen checked in on the system interface.

{Congratulations to the host for completing the daily check-in}

{Obtained reward: Martial Dao Value × 500}

Yet after a day like this.

Everyone began to not understand Shen Xingchen's behavior.

Shen Xingchen just sat by the edge of the central pool like this, without making any movements.

Even people far away could vaguely tell that Shen Xingchen had not yet entered the pool water.

#Why hasn't Shen Xingchen undergone the baptism?

Such a question lingered in everyone's hearts.

They could only make their own speculations.

#For instance, Shen Xingchen wants to wait for Senior Sister to finish and use the central Dragon Transformation Pool.

#For instance, Shen Xingchen is waiting for Yan Chen to wake up, afraid that he will affect Bai Wanqing's cultivation.

#...

#For instance, Shen Xingchen wants to wait for Senior Sister's spiritual qi to fail and fall into the water, to watch Senior Sister's drenched appearance up close...

Another half day passed.

At this time, Yan Chen woke up.

His body trembled slightly at first, and upon sensing no danger, he cautiously observed his surroundings.

The first thing he saw was Bai Wanqing cultivating in the very center pool.

Thick jealousy surfaced at the corners of Yan Chen's eyes.

But very quickly, he noticed Shen Xingchen by the edge of the pool.

This instantly extinguished the thought he had just had to make a move.

No matter how unwilling he was, the fact that he was not Shen Xingchen's match at this moment was an established fact.

At the same time, Yan Chen felt somewhat disdainful.

To think that Shen Xingchen's pursuit of Bai Wanqing had reached such an extent that he didn't even care about cultivation.

Such a person was even worthy of becoming a peak martial artist?

At this moment.

Shen Xingchen opened his eyes, right as he met Yan Chen's gaze.

Yan Chen was startled in his heart and took half a step back.

A terrifying thought suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

If Shen Xingchen did not want him to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool to cultivate right now... he would definitely have no chance of getting in.

Damn it!

As soon as this thought came out.

Yan Chen's heart instantly turned thoroughly cold.

The more he thought about this possibility, the more likely it seemed.

Shen Xingchen simply didn't want him to cultivate; helping Senior Sister protect the Dharma was all a front!

Yan Chen didn't even dare to move half a step, fearing that Shen Xingchen would make a direct move and knock him unconscious one more time.

...

They remained deadlocked like this for another half day.

Ever since waking up, Yan Chen just honestly stayed in place.

The deadlock between the two of them was noticed by the people in the surrounding pools.

They all guessed the game point of both sides and silently mourned for Yan Chen in their hearts.

Of all people to provoke, he had to provoke this jinx.

Shen Xingchen was also somewhat puzzled.

This moron, why isn't he cultivating? Is he copying me!?
