Chapter 5 Annihilation of Half
"24? Ten of those segments must have been left behind by the original owner, right?"
Luo Qing couldn't help but speculate.
Seeing this, the long-haired senior sister didn't say anything more. She led Luo Qing to an empty wooden table and they began to eat.
Perhaps because Luo Qing's eating manners were too unsightly, the long-haired senior sister suddenly chuckled and placed a few pieces of her braised pork on Luo Qing's plate:
"Junior brother, eat slowly, there's still a month left."
As she spoke, her little feet under the table rubbed against Luo Qing's calves.
Damn it, senior sister, please have some self-respect.
Luo Qing didn't know how to respond, so she could only stay awake and eat.
But... what am I supposed to do a month from now?!
The long-haired senior sister was extremely patient; seeing this, she didn't get annoyed at all. After they had almost finished eating, she spoke again:
"Junior brother, your senior sister will go back to practice her magic after the meal. You should continue practicing in the Demon Bone Forest and don't slack off."
Luo Qing opened her mouth and tried to say "okay".
"Hehe, good girl, your senior sister is leaving!"
The long-haired senior sister reached out and affectionately pinched Luo Qing's face before getting up and walking out of the dining hall.
Luo Qing quickly finished the rest of the meal.
After meditating for a while to digest his thoughts, he walked towards the Demon Bone Forest again.
Strangely, there were very few people traveling together along the way; the vast majority of their fellow disciples headed towards the "fishing village."
When Luo Qing arrived at the Demon Bone Forest, he looked around and saw that there were indeed few people, and they were all scattered.
"This is a good opportunity for me to practice my speaking skills."
Having chosen a secluded spot, Luo Qing began to pound on the tree while chanting a work song.
"week!"
"Wu!"
"Zheng!"
...
With complete concentration, the three hours of the afternoon passed quickly.
As darkness fell, Luo Qing picked up the 16th piece of demon bone wood, completed her homework for the day, and prepared to go back.
As soon as he reached the edge of the "fishing village", he caught a glimpse of a fellow disciple practicing magic not far away.
He was a valiant young man, standing in a horse stance, with a faint glow of blood swirling around his right fist.
Suddenly, he let out a low "Ha!" and threw a punch forward, leaving a blood-white fist imprint flying out!
The fist imprint was several times larger than an adult's fist. It slammed into a bluestone with a "bang," instantly creating a dent covered with spiderweb-like cracks on the stone surface!
"It's the Blood Bone Fist from 'Iron Bone Kung Fu'."
Luo Qing understood.
This spell can be cast at the early stage of Qi Refining. Since it not only consumes mana but also a small amount of blood energy, its power is much stronger than spells of the same level.
Luo Qing knows this trick herself, so there's nothing surprising about it.
But then he thought that such opportunities to meet fellow students alone seemed rare, so it would be a good chance to practice his spoken English.
"Senior brother, you're still practicing magic so late?"
Upon hearing this, the young man glanced in the direction he had come from, his face instantly turning cold, his tone full of disdain:
"Hmph! Don't talk to me, you worthless fish who's already given up on your life!"
"What do you mean by this, Senior Brother?"
Luo Qing was furious, but he was even more terrified.
Because this is the second person to say he's about to die!
"You're asking a question you already know the answer to. If you don't pass the entrance competition in a month, you'll only face death!"
The spirited young man, lacking in guile, immediately revealed the reason.
So that's what happened!
Luo Qing's expression turned serious. After thinking for a moment, she feigned anger:
"And what about you, senior brother? Are you absolutely certain you can pass?"
"Beating half of your fellow disciples is no easy feat, but at least you're better than a piece of trash like you!"
Get out of here! Or don't blame me for getting physical!
The valiant young man clenched his fist, his expression resolute, and his face revealed a fierce glint.
"A 50% elimination rate?! You deserve to die, Jiyin!"
Luo Qing had already gotten the answer he wanted. He cursed inwardly and left quickly!
"What's wrong with that long-haired senior sister? Knowing that the competition is about to begin, she won't let me practice magic. Is she trying to eliminate me as a competitor?"
As Luo Qing walked along the road, she couldn't help but begin to have doubts.
"No, with my cultivation level, I can't threaten that senior sister. Besides, collecting the demon bone wood will definitely be useful; it might even help my cultivation!"
Luo Qing didn't jump to conclusions. With her mind in turmoil, she had unknowingly returned to the "fishing village".
"Junior brother."
At this moment, a familiar voice came. Luo Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the long-haired senior sister.
A quick glance to the side revealed a sign with the number "seven" hanging on the wooden door behind the other person.
"Did she deliberately stay outside to wait for me?"
Luo Qing had a thought, but since she had some questions to ask, she went over.
"How was your afternoon, junior brother?"
Before Luo Qing could speak, Senior Sister Xiao Qi asked with a beaming smile.
"I've collected all 30 segments."
Luo Qing simply went along with her reply.
"It seems Junior Brother has understood what I mean. Very good. In this way, after seven days, Junior Brother will be able to collect more than 200 pieces of Demon Bone Wood and exchange them for two [Bone Strengthening Pills]."
Senior Sister Xiaoqi clapped her hands together and said with a joyful expression.
"Bone-strengthening pills? I see."
Luo Qing nodded secretly after hearing this.
He remembered Meng Bao saying that the Bone Strengthening Pill was the most suitable elixir for cultivating Iron Bone Kung Fu, and that taking it could directly improve one's cultivation level.
In this way, the senior sister's actions can be explained.
My current Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation is indeed too weak. She must think that using the Bone Strengthening Pill to raise my cultivation by one level will be a greater boost to my strength than cultivating spells!
I almost misunderstood her!
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will not slack off for the next six days!"
"Yes, junior brother is the best. Go back and rest. Your bones must be sore after a long day."
If you don't get a good night's sleep, you won't be able to get up tomorrow.
As they spoke, Senior Sister Xiaoqi moved closer and closer, and finally gave Luo Qing a light peck on the cheek.
"Uh, senior sister, I'm going back!"
Luo Qing wasn't shameless enough to take advantage of the original owner of the body without any scruples. He immediately felt it was inappropriate and fled as if his life depended on it.
Using the number on the door, Luo Qing quickly found the original owner's small wooden house.
There was nothing else in the room except a bed and simple wooden table and chairs.
"Sigh, it seems that the only things the original owner left behind were a few sets of clothes and three spirit stones in the storage bag."
After closing the wooden door, Luo Qing sat down with a worried expression.
Although Senior Sister Xiaoqi helped him plan a path to improve his strength, it was still far from safe!
"Among my fellow disciples, those in the first tier have already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and most of the others are at the fourth level of Qi Refining."
Even if I train hard this month and break through to the next level, I'm still likely no match for those fellow disciples who are already at the fourth level of Qi Refining!
Luo Qing didn't just spend the day chopping down trees; at least he figured out his position among his fellow disciples.
"If I don't think of a solution, I'll just be sitting here waiting to die!"
The original owner of this body was so poor that she was urinating blood, and Luo Qing can only rely on Meng Bao now.
But her previous performance alone is not enough!
"Mengbao, I need you to present the training efficiency of the Iron Bone Kung Fu in a more intuitive way using a data panel!"
"La la la, Meng Bao accepts the mission!"
"Mmm~ Coming!"
