Chapter 43: I Can Break It With One Move

"This Fellow Daoist, I am Ceng Fanrong, from Ling Wang City, and these few are my friends. We are all planning to go to participate in the trial, and didn't expect to meet you here. We have always liked making friends, may I ask, is the Fellow Daoist also here for that entry trial?"

A group of people came to Xu Que, and the leader was a white and tender fat youth, slightly wealthy, who was smiling and taking the initiative to greet Xu Que at this time.

Xu Que smiled indifferently, and also arched his hands at the few: "In the lower, Hua Wuque. This trip is indeed for that entry trial point, but unfortunately, the information is not well-informed, and I lost my way when I walked here!"

"So it's Brother Hua. As the saying goes, rely on parents at home and friends when going out. It just so happens that we know the location of the trial point. If Brother Hua doesn't mind, we can travel together!" the fat youth Ceng Fanrong smiled enthusiastically.

"Brother Zeng is truly polite. You few are so outstanding in temperament, being able to travel with you is truly my honor."

"Where, where, it's Brother Hua who is humble. You are already at the Golden Core Perfection at such a young age, and you are so handsome and elegant, you are truly a model for our generation. To tell you the truth, just now we were attracted by Brother Hua's heroic appearance, so we hurriedly came up to make friends!"

"You few brothers are too polite, it's truly a compliment."

"No, no, it's Brother Hua who is humble!"

This time, Xu Que showed off his free and easy side, boasting and flattering with several people, until in the end, everyone was full of mutual appreciation and felt like they met too late. They almost burned yellow paper to worship as brothers.

But everyone knew in their hearts that these were just acting.

They wanted to make friends with Xu Que because Xu Que's cultivation level was not bad.

Xu Que wanted to borrow them to lead the way, go to the so-called trial point to see, and take the opportunity to make a profit of Acting Cool Points before passing the tribulation.

Along the way, Xu Que also learned about the specific information about this entry trial.

In general, this was an activity for a large sect called Tianxiang Valley to recruit new disciples in the Five Kingdoms.

This activity is held once every hundred years, and each time some trial points will be randomly set up in each country. Those with connections naturally receive the news and find their way there, while those without connections can only rely on fate.

Ceng Fanrong and the others were all children of some wealthy families in Ling Wang City, but they didn't know much about the assessment content of the trial point. Instead, when they talked about the female disciples of Tianxiang Valley, they were full of enthusiasm.

"Tianxiang Valley has produced several female geniuses over the years, each of them is extraordinary in strength, and their beauty is peerless."

"But the most amazing one in the world is the Empress of the Water Yuan Kingdom from over a hundred years ago!"

"En, it is rumored that she had the Heavenly Water Spirit Root, later obtained a fortune, became the Heavenly Ice Spirit Root, and stepped into the Infant Transformation Stage at only twenty years old. Now a hundred years have passed, she is already an outstanding person among the Infant Transformation Stage, and it is said that even the Fire Emperor is not her match!"

"It is said that this time if one can be promoted to the end in the entry assessment of Tianxiang Valley and get the Elite Entry Token, that Empress will also appear as a Senior Sister and personally teach the technique!"

"Haha, everyone is saying that if one can see the Water Yuan Kingdom's Empress and get close to her, this life will almost have no regrets!"

"Brother Zeng, be careful of disaster coming from the mouth. It's fine to say this in our Fire Origin Kingdom, but if there is a chance to go to the Water Yuan Kingdom in the future, you can't talk nonsense."

"That's right, Brother Zeng, an existence like the Empress is not something we can just think about."

Several people chatted with each other, full of respect and fantasy for that Empress.

Xu Que was a bit disapproving. Who cares about your Water Yuan Kingdom's Empress or Emperor? When the dragon veins in the Five Kingdoms Imperial Mausoleums are dug up by me, none of you will be able to be Emperor!

Soon, the group bypassed the mountain road and headed towards a small path in the woods.

The woods were covered with green shade, the path was covered with withered yellow fallen leaves, and the birds were singing faintly.

Ceng Fanrong pointed to the depths of the woods and said: "Ahead is the trial point. It is said that when you enter, you will encounter a Fiery Fire Great Array. We must pass through a sea of fire to have the qualifications for the trial."

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, there was an invisible light curtain in front, like a wall of air. If you were not careful, you might be in a dangerous situation after taking a step in.

"It is said that the sea of fire is extremely strange, and relying on True Essence to resist is not enough."

"En, fortunately, we are well-informed and prepared fire-prevention dharma artifacts in advance."

"I also spent a lot of spirit stones and bought two fire-avoidance talismans, which should be enough."

Several cultivators were full of confidence, all of them confident.

Xu Que followed behind the group, but was a bit distracted and didn't speak.

A tall and thin youth looked at him and asked: "Eh, Brother Hua, do you have any method to avoid fire?"

Xu Que was stunned, shook his head: "Avoid fire? It seems not!"

Why avoid fire? It's just a sea of fire, why go to such great lengths to avoid it? Just split it open with a "Flame Splitting Wave Devouring Ruler Technique," wouldn't that be fine?

When a few people heard that he had no fire-avoidance method, they were stunned.

Some hurriedly covered the belt around their waists, where two fire-avoidance talismans were tied.

The others also looked slightly embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "It seems Brother Hua must have other brilliant methods!"

Brilliant methods?

This was just a polite remark, wanting to change the topic, in fact, they were afraid that Xu Que would open his mouth to borrow fire-avoidance talismans or fire-avoidance dharma artifacts!

Those things were too precious to them, they could be used once less, and one less, so they couldn't be easily lent to others.

It was the fat youth named Ceng Fanrong who walked to Xu Que with enthusiasm, took out a blue bead, the size of a palm, with water patterns flowing faintly on it!

"Brother Hua, borrow this Water Origin Pearl for a use. It contains a large amount of Water Origin Spiritual Power, plus your profound cultivation, you will definitely be able to cross this Fiery Fire Great Array." Ceng Fanrong said.

Before Xu Que could react, the others exclaimed:

"It's actually a Water Origin Pearl, this is worth a lot!"

"Brother Zeng is truly generous, Brother Hua is lucky this time. With this Water Origin Pearl, crossing that Fiery Fire Great Array will definitely not be a problem."

"Brother Zeng is wealthy and generous, truly a good fellow Daoist!"

Everyone praised, and some also showed envy.

Xu Que didn't expect Ceng Fanrong to be so enthusiastic, smiled slightly: "Thank you, Brother Zeng, for your kindness, but I can cross this sea of fire, and this Water Origin Pearl is worth a lot, Brother Zeng, you should take it back first!"

"This..." Ceng Fanrong was stunned, this was the first time he had been rejected after helping someone.

The others were also stunned, looking at Xu Que with strange eyes.

Ceng Fanrong persuaded: "Brother Hua, the power of that Fiery Fire Great Array is extraordinary, even Infant Transformation Stage experts dare not step into it easily, you must rely on some external objects. This level is actually Tianxiang Valley testing our response to dangerous situations, don't be careless!"

"That's right, Brother Hua, in case you are careless here, it will be a loss. And a mere Water Origin Pearl is nothing to Brother Zeng, you don't have to be too polite." Another youth also opened his mouth.

Xu Que still waved his hand: "Really don't need it, this Fiery Fire Great Array, I can break it with one move!"

"..."

Everyone's mouth twitched, speechless.

This is Tianxiang Valley's Fiery Fire Great Array, and you actually said you can break it with one move? What a joke, I've never seen such bragging...

Ceng Fanrong was also quite embarrassed, could only force a smile, took back the Water Origin Pearl, and didn't persuade him anymore.

The atmosphere of the scene instantly cooled down, and the result of Xu Que's forceful showing off was becoming a topic terminator.

However, he himself had received a system prompt just now and earned dozens of Acting Cool Points.

So Xu Que was quite willing to be this topic terminator a few more times, because... showing off is like the wind, always accompanying me! ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
