Chapter 306: Save Her
In the male cultivator’s disbelieving gaze.
He was heavily injured and fell directly into the water.
Whether he died or not is unknown, but this is an illusionary realm, so he probably won’t die, but he’ll be eliminated.
Song Jiulai sent him out without even changing her expression.
She said to the System with great distress: “I finally tried to be a good person, why doesn’t he cherish the opportunity?”
System: “Indeed.”
The series of actions between Song Jiulai and the male cultivator just now were also seen by several cultivators.
Someone looked at Song Jiulai strangely, with a hint of wariness in their eyes.
To be so steady while pulling someone through giant waves, what was the background of this early Qi Condensation cultivator?
A beautiful female cultivator in white, some distance ahead of Song Jiulai, also looked back at her.
As the rolling giant waves subsided, everyone saw the small island that had begun to show its traces ahead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
We’re almost there.
This second trial only requires obtaining the flag, the requirements are not too harsh.
But just as this thought arose.
A sudden giant wave, without any warning, surged up from beneath everyone’s feet again.
And it was too fast, completely catching everyone off guard.
As more than a dozen boats were thrown high into the sky by the giant waves, some panicked, while others let out unwilling roars after being forced into the water as they left their boats.
And Song Jiulai was also thrown up.
And half of her body was about to fly out of the boat.
But she merely raised an eyebrow slightly, pinched a hand seal behind her, spiritual energy overflowed, and just as her body was about to tilt upwards.
A sudden vine wrapped around Song Jiulai’s waist.
She instinctively became vigilant, almost immediately conjuring five ice blades to sever the vine.
But the vine only pulled her back onto the boat.
After Song Jiulai stabilized herself, it quickly retracted.
The white-clothed female cultivator in front nodded slightly at Song Jiulai.
Song Jiulai was somewhat surprised.
She usually felt she had bad luck; ever since she started adventuring, whenever trouble arose, she would inevitably encounter bad people.
This was the first time she had been saved by someone.
Coming back to her senses, Song Jiulai nodded at the female cultivator: “Thank you, fellow Daoist.”
The white-clothed female cultivator smiled faintly, her face as pure and beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.
When the giant waves fell again, this sudden onslaught directly eliminated five or six cultivators.
But the remaining people’s complexions were not good.
Their spiritual energy was almost completely depleted.
Although the island was within sight, if another incident occurred and their spiritual energy ran out, they would only face elimination.
The waves beneath their feet were not small either.
Song Jiulai paid special attention to the white-clothed female cultivator.
It could be seen that her spiritual energy was still more abundant than others; she could still spare a hand to save Song Jiulai just now, and her complexion also looked much better than others.
But Song Jiulai could also sense that her spiritual power was not much left.
Her expression, however, was very calm.
Although Song Jiulai was currently a clone, she still possessed a part of her main body’s spiritual sense, though she couldn’t use it.
She could now vaguely glimpse a part of others’ true strength.
The System also didn’t expect: “You can still meet good people in this day and age.”
Song Jiulai: “What do you mean by that? It’s because I am a good person, this is my good fortune.”
System: “…”
However, Song Jiulai was still accustomed to conspiracy theories. Did this female cultivator have some ulterior motive for saving her just now?
But the consumption of spiritual energy was real.
Moreover, she was currently just an ordinary cultivator; what benefit would saving her bring?
Thinking this, Song Jiulai didn’t dwell on it too much.
Although the island was within reach, two more large waves came.
Of those who were still holding on, only three remained.
Some had also used their magic treasures, but with their spiritual energy depleted, magic treasures were of no avail.
Some people’s magic treasures were simply unsuitable for such an occasion.
These three were another female cultivator in grey, that white-clothed cultivator, and Song Jiulai.
Seeing the island so close, the glowing flag on the island was within easy reach.
But the last sky-high wave that struck still made their hearts pound.
The wave before them rose high, but inexplicably delayed its descent, blocking the path of the three.
The grey-clothed female cultivator had also reached her spiritual energy limit, but without much panic, she actually took out a Profound Grade flying sword, stepped onto it, and pierced through the giant wave in one go.
Before passing through, she glanced back at Song Jiulai and the white-clothed female cultivator.
Then she coldly turned her head away.
Song Jiulai looked on, somewhat regretful: “I should have bought a magic treasure too.”
Those who participated in the match displayed their own abilities, and quite a few possessed magic treasures.
For a Qi Condensation early stage cultivator to possess a Profound Grade flying sword, her background must be considerable.
The white-clothed female cultivator looked back at Song Jiulai and also took out a magic treasure.
However, her magic treasure was rather strange; it was a piece of gauze.
After being infused with spiritual energy, the white gauze danced, wrapping around the white-clothed female cultivator and carrying her along.
The impact of the giant wave was not small, and the white-clothed female cultivator’s expression was clearly pained as she passed through.
It was likely that her spiritual energy had also been pushed to its limit.
After both of them passed, Song Jiulai tapped her chin, contemplating that she could temporarily freeze a hole by casting an ice incantation.
She could break through it herself.
Although this method was extreme and consumed a considerable amount of spiritual energy, it was not a problem for her.
Just as she was thinking this, a piece of white gauze suddenly pierced through from the other side of the giant wave.
It flew to Song Jiulai’s front, and as Song Jiulai was surprised, the white gauze wrapped around her, about to carry her through.
Song Jiulai and the System simultaneously exclaimed, “Wow.”
But after entering the giant wave, Song Jiulai could feel the intense scouring sensation of the water as it impacted her body, and the white gauze almost lost its grip, causing her to fall into the water.
Song Jiulai raised an eyebrow slightly and channeled spiritual energy to impact her body. The white gauze eased, and in one go, successfully carried Song Jiulai out.
“Splash—”
She was pulled out of the giant wave, the white gauze instantly disappeared, and the white-clothed female cultivator knelt on the ground, her face pale.
Clearly at her physical limit, she was trembling all over due to the excessive consumption.
Song Jiulai was drenched. As she emerged, the grey-clothed female cultivator was standing next to the white-clothed female cultivator. She glanced at Song Jiulai, then at the white-clothed female cultivator, and said in a low, mocking tone: “Idiot.”
System: “So rude! Cui Zui, smash her fruit for me!”
Song Jiulai: “…”
She looked at the white-clothed female cultivator with some surprise, unable to comprehend why this female cultivator would expend all her spiritual energy to bring her out.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist.”
She bent down, almost instinctively reaching for a pill.
But remembering the rules of the second trial, Song Jiulai restrained herself: “Why did you save me?”
The white-clothed female cultivator paused for a few breaths, and after recovering slightly, she looked up at Song Jiulai and smiled faintly: “Since you’ve come this far, it would be a shame not to pass.”
She had seen Song Jiulai save that male cultivator earlier.
At least she hadn’t intervened at first, which indicated that Song Jiulai was a relatively kind cultivator.
This was quite rare.
More to come later
