Chapter 131: Individual Fortunes

At the very moment Li Luo’s selection of a master concluded, somewhere in this mountain forest.

Poison spots were already emerging on Lu Qinger’s snow-white skin; those toxins were rampaging through her body, causing immense pain, yet she only bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, not making a single sound.

Opposite her, Wang He’s ice-sealed hands began to thaw under the constant impact of his own resonant power.

"Classmate Qinger, it seems this is the limit of your ice seal. This move of yours is truly formidable; if your resonant power were just a bit more robust, I really would have been sealed by you today," Wang He laughed.

"But you still succeeded in stalling me. However, do you really think that by stalling me, Li Luo can withstand the encirclement of the others?"

Lu Qinger ignored his words, for her consciousness was beginning to blur at this moment.

But just as her consciousness was about to sink into darkness, purple light suddenly descended from the sky, and two pillars of purple radiance fell, appearing before Lu Qinger and Wang He.

Within the radiance were two purple talismans.

One purple talisman hovered above Lu Qinger’s head, and as the purple radiance descended, the poison spots on her body rapidly dissolved, with wisps of emerald-green energy rising from her head and dissipating.

Wang He looked at the purple talisman before him, bowed, and reached out to take it.

However, he was not surprised to receive a purple talisman; after all, with his talent and potential, he didn't worry about not being noticed by a Purple Radiance Mentor.

Lu Qinger, however, seemed somewhat surprised by this, as her battle with Wang He, strictly speaking, meant she was completely outmatched, and she had only temporarily restricted him by relying on her special ice seal.

Although surprised, Lu Qinger was more so delighted. She took the Purple Radiance talisman and said softly, "Thank you, Master."

In that small, chaotic forest.

Zhao Kuo and Zong Fu, along with two others, lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all. They had been beaten up by Bai Dou-dou earlier, and their bodies still felt waves of stinging pain.

"I wonder if Yu Lang was beaten to death," Zhao Kuo suddenly sighed, saying with some sympathy.

However, they all knew that being beaten to death was impossible; after all, there were mentors constantly supervising the master selection tournament, so generally, there wouldn't be any actual deaths.

But as for suffering... they probably wouldn't be spared. That Bai Dou-dou didn't look like someone to be trifled with, and that fellow Yu Lang was the type who was particularly asking for a beating. Falling into Bai Dou-dou’s hands, he would truly be hammered until there was one less of him.

While they were talking, golden light suddenly appeared in mid-air and then descended rapidly.

Zhao Kuo looked up at the falling golden light and said, "Have I been beaten to the point of hallucinating? I think I see golden talismans crashing down."

The other three also lay on the ground looking at the sky. They remained silent, but the silence lasted only a few seconds. The next moment, they could no longer care about the pain in their bodies; they sprang up and scrambled like madmen toward the falling golden light.

The four of them scrambled in a mess, and in the end, each held a golden talisman, their faces full of wild joy.

"Have we been rewarded with golden talismans?" Zhao Kuo said excitedly.

Zong Fu nodded vigorously and said, "It really is a golden talisman. Could it be that our previous performance gained the approval of the supervising mentors?!"

The others were ecstatic. With their abilities, it was actually quite difficult to compete for a golden talisman, especially for Zhao Kuo, whose strength and talent were the lowest among them. Thus, his initial goal was just to scrape by with a Silver Radiance Mentor, but now, he had actually obtained a golden talisman?

This was clearly far beyond their expectations.

So the four of them clutched their golden talismans, all excited and thrilled.

This beating was truly worth it!

And in the distance of the small forest.

Bai Dou-dou suddenly felt something and looked up. A purple light descended and hovered before her. She reached out and took the talisman from the purple light, a trace of joy appearing on her cheeks.

"Thank you, Master," she said respectfully.

Although she was not surprised by this either, it was only after actually obtaining the talisman that one felt at ease.

She opened the purple talisman and saw the character "Mi" inscribed on it.

"Is it Mentor Mi-er?" Bai Dou-dou naturally knew about this Purple Radiance Mentor, and this was the mentor she wanted most because the other party also possessed a Wind Resonance.

If she could cultivate under their guidance in the future, it would certainly allow her strength to improve rapidly.

While Bai Dou-dou was happy about obtaining the Purple Radiance talisman, she suddenly saw with astonishment that another purple radiance was falling toward her direction.

"Who else is here?" Bai Dou-dou was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly cast her gaze toward the unconscious Yu Lang on the ground.

"Could it be this guy?"

Bai Dou-dou found it unbelievable. This bastard was shameless and a rogue, and his strength was actually quite poor. Could even he gain the favor of a Purple Radiance Mentor?

That’s just too absurd, right?!

In her shocked gaze, the purple radiance indeed landed on the unconscious Yu Lang. Under the illumination of the purple light, the injuries on Yu Lang’s body recovered rapidly, and finally, he opened his eyes in a daze.

The first thing he saw was the purple talisman in front of him.

Yu Lang hesitated for three seconds, and the next instant, he jumped up, lunged directly at the purple talisman, pinned it firmly under him, and roared, "This is what I snatched! This is what I snatched!"

He looked up, staring vigilantly at Bai Dou-dou, and repeated, "This is what I snatched!"

Bai Dou-dou was speechless to the extreme and said, "What are you in such a rush for? It was meant for you from the start; no one can snatch it away."

Yu Lang was taken aback and said in disbelief, "Meant for me?"

"I’ve been chosen by a Purple Radiance Mentor?"

Bai Dou-dou said indifferently, "It’s also possible that some Purple Radiance Mentor made a mistake."

Yu Lang said angrily, "No way! Since it’s here, it’s mine. Even if it’s a mistake, I’m going to latch onto this Purple Radiance Mentor! They have to be responsible for me!"

Bai Dou-dou couldn't help but pat her forehead; this person’s thick-skinned nature was truly unparalleled.

Yu Lang took out the pinned purple talisman, then respectfully performed the apprenticeship bow and said, "This mentor, I’ve already performed the apprenticeship ceremony, so this matter can’t be changed."

After doing this, he finally took out the talisman, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Who is this Mentor Mi?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Dou-dou was shocked and blurted out, "What? You are also under Mentor Mi-er?!"

She appeared beside Yu Lang in two steps and snatched his purple talisman. Sure enough, she saw the character "Mi" inscribed on it. Then she took out her own talisman to compare; the two talismans were identical.

Bai Dou-dou’s face turned ashen.

How could this be?

This shameless bastard was actually under the same mentor as her?

"Eh, you are too? Does that mean we have the same mentor in the future?" Yu Lang leaned over to take a look and was also somewhat surprised.

Bai Dou-dou threw the purple talisman back to Yu Lang and sat on a nearby rock with a staggering gait.

For a moment, she had the urge to quit her apprenticeship.

Yu Lang carefully put away the purple talisman, then leaned toward Bai Dou-dou and said with a smile, "Classmate Bai Dou-dou, I heard that every Purple Radiance Mentor only takes three students, so we are companions from now on. Please take care of me."

"Actually, regarding my character, I believe you already have some understanding of it. For friends, I am someone who can go through fire and water. We might have had some misunderstandings in the past, but it doesn't matter; we have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future."

"However, I’m wondering, once you truly understand my character, I wonder if there’s a slight possibility of introducing Bai Meng-meng..."

Bai Dou-dou rubbed her temples and said softly, "Say one more word, and I might just slaughter you."

Yu Lang instantly went quiet, sat down honestly to the side, and then took out the purple talisman from his bosom, stroking it constantly and examining it carefully, his face full of joy.

Bai Dou-dou covered her face and sighed in her heart. Could it be that from now on, this shameless, long-winded bastard would really be one of her companions?

What a sin.
