“Looks like there are no talented people on the Purple Lightning Temple’s side, they can’t form anything at all” Looking at the completely immobile bodies, Wu Xiaotian jokes prompting the entire crowd to laugh for a bit, causing the Purple Lightning Temple to look at him with hatred and indignation in their eyes.
“There’s a problem for this method though, as you still need to deal with an extremely fast fly, something that is incredibly difficult to catch” mocking Lei Xing, Wu Xiaotian snaps his fingers again, causing a dome of soul power to surround the entire arena, making the audience wonder just what he will do next.
“Now for a pop quiz! What will happen if a giant that needs to constantly devour finds no food in sight?” looking at the people, Wu Xiaotian asked, most of the people clueless to what the answer is, the first one raising hand is surprisingly a phoenix-like young lady, a bit of nervousness in her voice as she answers the question.
“W-will the giant starve to death?” Feng Qing asked back causing Wu Xiaotian to smile a bit as he enjoys the young lady’s expression, before going back to the topic as he nods at her.
“That cutiepie over there is absolutely right, that giant’s body will gradually shrivel as it lacks a fuel, and worst-case scenario, he might even start devouring himself” as he returns to his position, Wu Xiaotian hears another telepathic transmission, this time, from a woman, sounding extremely suspicious as she asked.
{What’s a cutiepie} Li Yan asked as she squints her eyes towards the immortal-like young man.
{Some sort of local term in our area} Wu Xiaotian replied, thinking that he’s technically not lying as despite the term coming from Earth, he really was a local from Earth back in his previous life.
{It sounds quite endearing} the mature lady asked with quite the expression on her face along with her tone.
{Because it is, you jealous?} Wu Xiaotian answered honestly, sending a question back.
{Is it more endearing than being your wifey?} Li Yan asked while tilting her head a bit, making her look extremely cute in Wu Xiaotian’s eyes. Continue your quest on freewebnovel
{Nope, not a single bit}
{Then I’m not jealous}
After the small conversation ended, Wu Xiaotian starts demonstrating again, snapping his hands to let go of Lei Xing, the young man immediately trying to pounce on him the moment he was let go from his bindings, but not before something extremely peculiar happens.
Out of nowhere, Lei Xing immediately dispersed his lightning spirit form, eventually falling to the ground as if he’s drained of all the energy in his body.
“W-what the hell did you do!??” trying to look up at his opponent, Lei Xing asked with terror in his eyes as he started to feel the connection between his physique and him starting to fall apart, from the situation where he could use anytime to one where he become the food of his physique, the qi in his core being devoured by his physique instead of the ambient qi in the air.
“People, you see it right? Can you guess what I do?” looking around the crowd, Wu Xiaotian smiles as he sends a question once more, this time, a young man wearing a white robe raising his hand to answer the question.
“You dispersed all the ambient qi in the surroundings…
yeah, that might also be the reason why you created that soul power dome, so that no ambient qi can enter a specific area, am I right my friend?” Dao Xuanyuan, also having the same idea previously, clearly knows the answer, the only thing preventing him from doing this against Lei Xing is the fact that he lacks the enormous soul power that Wu Xiaotian has.
“You are correct, friend” Wu Xiaotian replies as he nods towards Dao Xuanyuan, picking up Lei Xing after, lifting him and showing to the crowd that the young man can no longer move whatever he does, swinging the arrogant-looking young man all around as if he’s a toy.
“As you can see, little eldest disciple here relies on his physique to act all high and mighty in front of the crowd, and the moment something is done to deal with it, he’s nothing more than just a slightly stronger cultivator for his realm, and anyone else with the proper strength and experience can easily deal with him”
“But what does the second method have to do with us? Just like young master Su said, we do not possess such an absurd level and amount of soul power like yours” one people among the crowd said, making most of the people nod in agreement as they truly have no idea how to replicate the thing the immortal-like young man just did.
{This is your chance! lil bro, try to make some money out of the situation now!
Just don’t forget big sis’ commission for sharing you such brilliant idea, I don’t need much, just some pocket money for me to buy alcohol is more than enough} the moment she heard that question, Hua Xian’er immediately sends a telepathic message towards Wu Xiaotian, the young man smiling wryly as the empress-like young lady starts mentioning her crippling addiction again.
{Yeah yeah I promise, but I will give it to you part by part so you won’t splurge it on alcohol in one swoop} Wu Xiaotian answers, causing Hua Xian’er to look at her with shock as she never expected him to do her like that.
{But─} trying to retort his condition, Hua Xian’er had her arguments immediately cut short as Wu Xiaotian resolutely replied to her again.
{No buts, remember I can just not sell it, and you won’t get anything} the immortal-like young man threatened, making the empress-like lady to understand the situation, compromising as it’s her only choice to make the young man earn some money not only for him but also for herself.
{Fine… But we still have to talk about how you will ration my money!!!} the lady replied with a bit of stubbornness in her voice, still refusing to back down from getting some good money for her to spend on her ‘hobby’.
{Okay big sis, let’s talk about it later} hearing her voice, Wu Xiaotian realizes that this is the most she can comply with, hence he decided to cut her some slack when he later gives her part in this money-making project the two of them whipped-up before the start of his match.
After some sort of silence, Wu Xiaotian finally speaks back to the one who just asked, sounding like an extremely good salesman as he replied, “A very good question from that fellow, don’t worry, I’m not just saying it to brag, I give all of you the chance to do the very same thing even without soul power!!!”
Taking out a mock version of the product they’re going to sell, Wu Xiaotian showed the audience a jade slip that contains an intricate carving of runes all around it, the mysterious blending or runes causing some of the audience to be lost in its beauty.
Knowing that the attention is all on him, Wu Xiaotian smiles as he starts explaining the effect of the jade slip in his hand.
