Outside the house, thousands of mad mushrooms, some no taller than ankle high while others almost as tall as a full grown adult man, surrounded Qiao Song and the rest. "That damn girl! She went and let it call for help before killing it!"
"Qiao Song, this is your fault for not explaining things to your future concubine… wait, no, your eternal mistress because you lost to her badly!" Ming Xiafan did not hesitate to aggravate Qiao Song even more.
"Ming Xiafan, your mouth has been running a lot as of late! Don't think just because you are from the Ming family that my Qiao family can not take you on!" Qiao Song ground his teeth as he slashed another mad mushroom with his sword.
"Will you two just shut up and fight!?" A young woman around nineteen years of age yelled out as she slashed out her sword. She was Li Tangxin from the Li family, an ancient family with thousands of years of history.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two young men glared at each other, not daring to say another word. If it was anyone else, they would have told them off, but Li Tangxin was different. While she was not as powerful as Qiao Song, she was still very dangerous with her ice sword techniques. She was called the ice queen in the sect.
Elder Ning walked out to see the huge horde of mad mushrooms and frowned. "This may be bad." they were still coming out of the tree line charging at his disciples, making it hard for them to catch a breath.
"So these are this world's monsters, hmmm? Not very frightening…." Creige stood next to Elder Ning. He had come out to take a look at what monsters of this world looked like, and he found them to be nothing too special. Nothing compared to the monsters he has had to fight as of late. Tall monsters as tall as some of the tallest buildings imaginable. Just standing in front of him, it was like an ant crawling on the ground.
"It's not their fierceness that is the issue, it's their numbers. While there may not seem like many, in truth, there are thousands of them surrounding the group there." Elder Ning explained. He did not want Creige to look down on them.
"Still not that scary. Look. The kid is using a flame skill but only killing one at a time. Why is he only using that skill for a single target? If he were to use it so that it struck out in an arc, he could easily burn multiple targets at a time.
"Now take the ice girl, for example. The ice she is flinging out is freezing everything it touches, but she is also only using it as a single target attack. Very inefficient if you ask me. If she attacked a smaller one that is squished up against the others, that ice would not only freeze the little mushroom but the others around it as well. One look at the battlefield and I can only say the standards of this world's training at this age are horrible. It's like a bunch of kids running around playing a game of tag." Creige's harsh criticism made Elder Ning choke on air. But at the same time, he was amazed at how quickly Creige analyzed the situation. He wondered just how many battles Creige had fought in.
"It's true they still have much to learn." Elder Ning could only answer with this. In a way, he felt slightly embarrassed.
"Much? My daughters, at the age of twelve, could kill all these things without any powers at all in a matter of a few minutes. What I am seeing is how my daughters used to fight when they were at the age of five." Creige had no idea he was sending out invisible smacks to Elder Ning's face.
"Handsome Papa, I'm back!" Angelica's voice came from overhead as a tear opened up in the sky. Angelica stepped through the tear and floated down to the ground. "Hmm, what is going on? A game?"
Elder Ning wanted to cry at this time. If the young one is calling it a game, then so be it. His disciples were young and ignorant! "Yes, they are playing a game to see who can kill the most mad mushrooms."
Creige raised an eyebrow and looked at Elder Ning. He just smiled and said nothing. He did not plan to expose the old man's lies. Angelica, on the other hand, was confused as to how one wins such a game. She was going to just give her handsome papa a huge and find her mama, but she stopped and asked: "Is there a prize?"
Elder Ning…. Smiled awkwardly and thought for a second. "Anyone who kills the most mad mushrooms wins one hundred thousand contribution points to spend on items at the treasure pavilion."
"Oh? Can one transfer the points to others?" Angelica asked. Her eyes shining ever so slightly.
"Yes, of course…." Elder Ning felt like something bad was about to happen when he saw the smile on Angelica's lips curl up.
"Then…." Angelica reached her hand out, and with a single finger and made a come here motion with it as she spoke softly: "Come….."
Every mad mushroom on the mofu mountain suddenly dropped dead. Little blue orbs all flew to a certain point on the mountain and gathered together. Angelica, who was standing in front of this blue mass, opened her mouth and took a deep breath. The mass of blue orbs was sucked into her mouth and disappeared without a trace. "Urp…. Not too bad..."
Angelica rubbed her stomach and smacked her lips before turning to Elder Ning and saying: "Give the points to Handsome Papa to share with my sisters." After saying this, she gave Creige a kiss on the cheek before running off towards the house.
Elder Ning stood there staring at the thousands of dead mad mushrooms, wondering if he was actually stuck in some kind of illusion technique.
