Chapter 254: 253 This Is Another Tragedy

"Ready?"

Inside the arena, Xuan Youzi asked after Wang Wu had also entered.

Wang Wu answered her with his actions.

The battle with Xuan Youzi didn't last long. Although he had gained experience from the fight with Di Yi Wu just now, the gap in strength between him and Xuan Youzi was still quite large.

Soon, Xuan Youzi achieved an overwhelming victory, but this time she didn't keep beating Wang Wu to the brink of death until the cultivator overseeing the arena stepped in to stop her.

This time, even though Wang Wu was still charging forward headlong, Xuan Youzi voluntarily surrendered.

Wang Wu wouldn't surrender voluntarily, but when faced with someone else's surrender, he could immediately react and stop.

"No more fighting. Let's leave it at that."

Looking at Wang Wu, whose bloodthirsty expression suddenly froze as he slammed on the brakes right in front of her, nearly crashing into her face, Xuan Youzi stepped back a little and then said:

"You're improving by leaps and bounds. That's enough. No more fighting."

"What's the matter? Keep going? It's not over yet? Wait until the cultivator comes out to stop us, alright?" Xuan Youzi didn't want to fight, but Wang Wu was far from satisfied, because he hadn't reached his limit yet and hadn't even started having fun.

"I still have some things to do. Today's sparring ends here." Xuan Youzi shook her head. She was a female cultivator with a cool temperament—well, not exactly cool. How to put it? Her temperament was very 'upright.'

The kind of upright that meant righteous and solemn, not the kind that meant a nice figure. To Wang Wu, she always seemed unsmiling, bitter, and grim-faced, like the Miejue Shitai of the cultivation world...

Well, okay, she was definitely better-looking than Miejue Shitai, and also a bit gentler. Of course, Miejue Shitai wasn't bad either; when Wang Wu was a kid, he'd had a thing for Miejue Shitai too... Ahem, getting off track.

In short, Wang Wu's impression of this woman was that she was rigid and conservative.

But he still had a fairly good impression of Xuan Youzi. After all, her personality was actually decent. Although she didn't get along with him, whenever he ran into trouble, she would step in to help out of a sense of justice.

That was good. Very fair.

This woman was also quite popular. On this planet—no, not just this planet, but across the entire star system of their cohort—she was quite popular, because her looks ranked among the very top of all the female cultivators.

Just like many cultivation webnovels he'd read in his past life, sects usually had someone who would make a 'Hundred Flowers Ranking.' Of course, that was from the older cultivation novels.

But such a ranking did exist here. It was divided into a Newcomer Ranking and a Sect Ranking. Where did Xuan Youzi rank on it? Wang Wu couldn't remember, but it was pretty high.

Think about it—this was a freshman group of hundreds of millions of people. Being able to rank in the top ten among hundreds of millions was an extremely high level.

Of course, there were also men on the Hundred Flowers Ranking. After all, if male cultivators could be ranked, then female cultivators could be ranked too. And although Wang Wu's reputation among his fellow male cultivators wasn't great, because of his looks and the natural charm bonus of the demon race, among the female population...

No matter how people looked at him, at least in terms of appearance, no one would have any complaints.

As for Xuan Youzi, she was on both the male and female rankings of the Hundred Flowers Ranking, because her looks and usual style of dress were quite androgynous. The Qiongyuan civilization was relatively open in this regard; what gender you liked didn't matter, and no one cared.

This also led to another ranking besides the regular male and female ones.

Of course, Wang Wu was still unaware of this dark side of society—at least, he wasn't clear on the male-oriented one.

As for the female-oriented one... well, so far, he had already seen several female cultivators making advances toward Xuan Youzi.

As for what Xuan Youzi liked, he didn't care about or pay attention to that. He only cared about fighting this woman, and spent all his time thinking about how to defeat her, how to trample her underfoot, and beat her up badly.

But unfortunately, this woman was indeed strong, and her improvement speed was extremely fast.

Faster than his.

Wang Wu's talent wasn't that great among Earth's martial artists, but it was already very good here. Although most of the credit went to his combat-leveling talent, that wasn't important.

But Xuan Youzi—this woman, this woman—didn't have as many resources as he did, nor did she have his talent, yet she could still trample him underfoot. Every time they fought, it wasn't just Wang Wu who improved; Xuan Youzi improved too.

Although the margin wasn't as large as Wang Wu's, her growth was still real.

And, and it seemed like this woman had already memorized his patterns. Basically, whatever move he used, she had a counter for it. This beastly woman.

But it didn't matter. Wang Wu had always been a fearless person. Being memorized was nothing at all.

"Senior Sister! Senior Sister!"

Because Xuan Youzi had voluntarily stopped the fight, although Wang Wu was very unhappy and unwilling, he could only beat a retreat and call it quits.

The two left the fighting arena and arrived at the exit. He didn't know why this woman was taking the same door as him, but it didn't matter.

Then, as soon as they reached the door, a cheerful voice reached Wang Wu's ears.

Wang Wu was familiar with this voice too. It was Xuan Youzi's junior sister. Apparently, this junior sister had been raised by Xuan Youzi since she was a child. More precisely, Xuan Youzi's master had brought her up from the lower realm when she was still an infant, because of her exceptional talent.

Therefore, she was entrusted to the care of the senior brothers and sisters.

Of course, the master also took care of her, and most of the time it was the master who did so. Because the senior brothers and sisters all needed to cultivate, the master naturally had more free time.

But even so, among all the senior brothers and sisters, this junior sister was still the closest and most intimate with Xuan Youzi.

In fact, she was already close to the point of crossing the line.

Wang Wu didn't know if Xuan Youzi could see it, but the moment he first saw that junior sister, he knew her feelings for her senior sister were impure—very impure, clearly mixed with a lot of other things.

But the good thing was that she didn't have any hostility toward Wang Wu. This was probably because Xuan Youzi genuinely disliked Wang Wu, and there was no pretense in it. Otherwise, she might have ended up like someone else, probably.

"Senior Sister, you're out? Are you hurt? Let me see!"

Along with the cheerful voice, a beautiful figure immediately pounced over, hugged Xuan Youzi tightly, and started groping her all over.

Wang Wu stared at her for a couple of glances, then looked at Xuan Youzi. Noticing the maternal glow radiating from her, he shrugged.

He could only say that this might be another tragic story.

But that was normal. Although this place was open, the vast majority of people were still heterosexual.

"It's nothing. Get down now."

When speaking to her junior sister, Xuan Youzi's tone became much gentler, at least not as stiff or rigid as when she spoke to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu could also see deep tenderness in her eyes. Although this tenderness might not be the kind that junior sister wanted, Wang Wu guessed that she wouldn't be able to tell.

As an observer, Wang Wu could see things very clearly and thoroughly.
