Chapter 100: Flexing Unintentionally

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After arriving at Ding’an City of Chu River Prefecture, what greeted them was a city wall which rose one hundred feet from the ground.

The city wall was constructed from black iron rock and was extremely sturdy.

Glancing over, the wall was akin to a gigantic black dragon coiling around the city, appearing grand and majestic.

When the students arrived, they all held onto the wall as they dragged themselves along. They were insanely tired, with their legs feeling like mush and dark circles under their eyes.

The soldiers standing guard were also given a fright as they saw the hundred weak and exhausted students.

At this moment, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao descended lightly on his sword and produced a document.

When the soldiers saw the contents of the document, they instantly became respectful. Not only did they open the city gates, but they also notified the City Lord.

When Zheng Qianqiu—the City Lord of Ding’an City—received this news, he personally went to greet them. Moreover, he held a banquet to welcome their arrival.

The students were absolutely beat after running like mad for thousands of miles, and they were both exhausted and hungry now.

At the banquet, they stuffed themselves like crazy, and each of them was able to eat the share of four or five people.

Hmm, what kind of concept was this… It meant that it was equivalent to hosting four to five hundred people at once.

“Fellow cultivator Ling Xiao, your students have such great appetites!”

Zheng Qianqiu exclaimed in shock as he wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao chuckled indifferently. “They ran thousands of miles today, it’s pretty normal for them to be eating more.”

Zheng Qianqiu almost wet himself when he heard this. Aren’t most of these students ranked in the Dao Body Stages?

Running thousands of miles in a day? Even horses would f*cking die if they were made to run like this!

He had initially thought that it was the students who were a bit abnormal. By the looks of it now, it was actually their teacher who was slightly unusual.

“Then… Sword Immortal Ling Xiao, are we still hunting like usual tomorrow?” Zheng Qianqiu asked uncertainly.

“Of course we’re hunting as usual. If you want more resources, then allocate more soldiers to follow behind,” Sword Immortal Ling Xiao chuckled.

“Sure, I’ll go do that now!” Zheng Qianqiu chuckled happily.

When entering the mountains to hunt, they usually broke up into smaller teams. This was because the hypervigilant beasts would be startled by larger groups.

The students that Sword Immortal Ling Xiao brought over could be split up into a dozen or so elite teams. As long as they didn’t come across Spirit Beasts, they would be unstoppable.

When the time came, he only needed to organize some soldiers to follow behind and retrieve the corpses of the beasts. This was quite a bit of wealth. It was equivalent to someone fighting monsters in the front, and them picking up loot from behind. Why would he not be glad?

However, he was still familiar with the standard practices. The profit made from selling this loot would be evenly split.

The next day, An Lin and the others ventured out of Ding’an City.

The students were divided into twenty teams, each consisting of five members.

An Lin was the team leader of one of these teams. His four other team members were Luo Ziping, Miao Tian, Zong Yongyan, and Sun Shenglian. Apart from Zong Yongyan being of the Ninth Stage Dao Body, the other three members of his team were all of the Tenth Stage Dao Body.

All four of his teammates were overjoyed about being assigned to An Lin’s team.

“Haha, who would’ve thought that I’d have the chance to team up with Big Brother An! We’ve got this end of year exam in the bag!” Luo Ziping chortled. He was a big and tall fellow.

“Big Brother An, how many beasts are we going to kill today?” Miao Tian asked enthusiastically. She was an adorable short-haired girl. Right now, she was gazing at An Lin with her big bright eyes.

“Heh, do you think that Big Brother An will settle for mutant beasts? He’s probably going to take us out to kill Spirit Beasts.” Zong Yongyan waved the fan in his hand and spoke unhurriedly.

“If Big Brother An plans on slaying Soul Beasts or even Immortal Beasts, then you don’t need to take us along. I’m scared that we’ll be accidentally killed by their sneeze,” Sun Shenglian said anxiously.

Hearing his teammates’ comments, An Lin felt a bit stifled.

What the f*ck? Do these people really think that I’m the fabled Great God An?!

I’m also of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, okay? I’ll also have to flee when coming across a Spirit Beast, okay?!

After doing his utmost to persuade them, he finally got his four teammates to accept the fact that he wouldn’t be able to wield such devastating power for a few years.

Right now, he was simply a team leader of the Tenth Stage Dao Body!

Just like that, the five of them headed toward the Myriad Mountain Realm.

Within the desolate mountains, beasts ran amok. Occasionally, one could even meet a rare Spirit Beast.

Regarding the matter of the Beast Cores, An Lin asked Xuanyuan Cheng and Su Qianyun for help.

Beast Cores were the manifestations of Spirit Beasts’ energy, and it was something like an organ which could absorb and convert energy.

To human cultivators, these Beast Cores weren’t very useful.

They didn’t know why An Lin wanted these things. However, since An Lin asked them, they didn’t mind helping him out.

…

Within the Myriad Mountain Realm.

“Big Brother An, the black sword in your hand looks so elegant! How come I never saw you use it in the free-for-all battle event?” Miao Tian asked curiously.

There was a hint of disappointment in An Lin’s voice as he replied. “I actually snatched this sword from the Dark Night Monarch. Ah, it’s a shame that the sword spirit was eradicated by me. Now, it’s only a semi-immortal tool.”

His four teammates all drew a sharp breath when they heard this, and their eyes shone as they looked toward him.

The phrase ‘only a semi-immortal tool’ stunned them greatly.

He is indeed Great God An…

This phrase… is really quite domineering!

An Lin noticed their looks of reverence, and he instantly came to a realization.

Say, did he accidentally flex just then?

He knew that if he kept flexing like this, his teammates would start to over-rely on him.

At that time, they would perhaps feel disinclined to battle the beasts, instead only focusing on cheering him on from the sidelines.

With this in mind, he immediately put the Evil-Slaying Sword into his storage ring and swapped it for the golden glazed sword.

“l don’t really know how to use immortal weapons. This high-grade magic tool really does feel more convenient and easier to use,” An Lin commented.

He nodded as he looked at the golden sword in his hand.

As long as his weapon was similar to that of his teammates, it wouldn’t appear as if he was flexing.

“Big Brother An, no need to explain. I understand,” Luo Ziping chuckled knowingly.

“Hide one’s true powers and leave an ace up the sleeve. Big Brother An truly deserves to be the top dog of our university.” Zong Yongyan nodded as he flapped his fan.

“Those rubbish beasts are unworthy of having Big Brother An use that sword!” Sun Shenglian exclaimed in admiration.

“As expected of Great God An. Each and every one of your actions exudes an air of superiority!” Miao Tian’s eyes twinkled.

Just like that, An Lin’s teammates became even more reverent of him.

An Lin: “…”

He felt that after being glorified as a ‘great god’, each and every one of his actions seemed more badass and awesome.

Brrrt…

Right at this moment, he accidentally farted.

The sound of his fart was fairly loud, and his teammates were momentarily dazed.

…

“Be careful!”

An Lin suddenly roared loudly, and he shoved Sun Shenglian aside.

“Hiss!”

A thirty feet long python sprung out from the underbrush. It widened its bloody jaws and scraped past Sun Shenglian.

A red glow erupted from Luo Ziping’s fists, and he hammered a fist down on the python’s head.

Boom!

The python’s head was flattened by this strike. At this moment, Miao Tian’s flying disc cut through the air and sliced open its head.

“Phew… That was really dangerous. Thanks so much, Big Brother An.”

Sun Shenglian patted her chest, a lingering fear in her heart.

Snake type beasts were all very stealthy. If one was too inattentive, it was very probable that they could be sneaked up on.

Miao Tian walked over at this moment, a look of marvel on her face. “As expected of Big Brother An. It’s my fault that I was too ignorant.”

An Lin: “???”

“I know right,” Luo Ziping concurred, “I didn’t react to that fart just then either. So, it turns out that you farted to warn us to be careful!”

Zong Yongyan waved his fan. “If he simply warned us verbally, he may have inadvertently alerted the enemy. However, by warning us through the natural human function of ‘farting’, he wouldn’t startle the python. Big Brother An really does give deep thought to his each and every action!” As he gave this analysis, the expression on his face was as if he saw through everything.

“It’s a pity that we still weren’t able to comprehend this…” There was a look of self-reproach on Sun Shenglian’s pretty face.

An Lin was rooted to the spot, stupefied.

What the f*ck?!

I suddenly farted, and now it’s become so deep and profound?!

I gotta kneel down to you retarded superfans!
