Chapter 300 Choice
The plot is heating up: Update! Come and check it out!
Qin Xiaochuan woke up in the darkness. Waves were crashing on the beach, and a half-moon hung high in the sky.
He tried to raise his arm, but felt as if his whole body was falling apart; the slightest movement caused excruciating pain throughout his body.
"Ouch!" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"You're awake." Suddenly, a calm voice said from the side.
Qin Xiaochuan looked in the direction of the sound, but only saw the back of a man standing in the moonlight, calmly looking at the sea.
"Who are you?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.
The man turned around, looked calmly at Qin Xiaochuan, and said, "Long time no see, Qin Xiaochuan."
"It's you! Alim." Qin Xiaochuan looked at the man in surprise. It was Alim, who had disappeared in Kunlun Ruins. "Did you save me? Who are you?"
"I have my reasons for saving you, and you don't need to thank me. I was only doing it for my own purposes," Alim replied, seemingly ignoring the question.
Qin Xiaochuan opened his mental space to check Alimu's spiritual power level. Unexpectedly, he only saw level 1 spiritual power on the man, the same as what he saw in the Western Regions tavern.
Qin Xiaochuan recalled what Kaiming had once said: Alim had easily subdued Kaiming and easily rescued him from the clutches of the Demon Hunter's deputy leader. Clearly, his strength was unfathomable. Therefore, there was only one explanation: the Alim in front of him had the ability to conceal his strength.
Alim quietly watched Qin Xiaochuan's changing expression. For some reason, Qin Xiaochuan felt as if he had been completely seen through in Alim's unfathomable pupils. Despite this, the other party remained unmoved.
"Do you know my identity?" Qin Xiaochuan asked boldly. Facing a man whose strength far surpassed his own and who could see right through him, Qin Xiaochuan had no more worries. He thought that he had lived for nearly twenty years and had no connection with this man. The only explanation for why Alimu had gone to such lengths to get close to him was that it must be related to his identity as the reincarnation of the Blood Witch King.
"You're very clever." Alim smiled. "As expected of Brother Xiao, you've already guessed my purpose before I've even done anything."
"Do you know him?" Qin Xiaochuan asked again.
"We were not only acquaintances, but also friends, even confidants," Alim said with a look of nostalgia for his old friend.
"So that's why you saved me?" Qin Xiaochuan roughly understood some of the reasons. Since he could become confidants with the previous Blood Witch King, his powerful strength could also be explained.
Alim shook his head and said calmly, "No, although we are friends and are searching for the same answer, we are on different paths. So I will not save you because of our friendship. I still maintain that I saved you for my own purposes."
Qin Xiaochuan frowned. He suddenly felt that this person would definitely become his enemy in the future, and a powerful one at that.
"I'll be waiting for you at the finish line," Alim said calmly, then left Qin Xiaochuan behind and walked away alone.
"What endpoint?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, puzzled.
"You'll find out when the time comes. But don't die before then, okay? I've been waiting for you for a long time. By the way, my real name is Du Cheng, not Alim." Du Cheng seemed to walk very slowly, but in the blink of an eye he was already far away. By the time his voice came with the wind, it was already somewhat ethereal.
"Hmph, playing tricks." Qin Xiaochuan calmly put his hands behind his head, then lay on the beach looking at the stars in the sky. Although his opponent was powerful, he didn't care at all. With his current strength and cultivation speed, he believed that it wouldn't be long before he could surpass anyone.
"Hey, Qin Xiaochuan, where are you right now?" Han Kexin's voice suddenly came through the earpiece.
"I..." Qin Xiaochuan turned his head and looked around, only to find himself in an unfamiliar place. He smiled wryly and said, "I don't know where I am either."
"Xiao Chuan, are you alright?" Guo Shiyi's worried voice came through the earpiece again.
"Don't worry, you won't die," Qin Xiaochuan said casually, but as he was about to sit up from the beach, he winced in pain.
"Okay, I understand. Don't move around. We'll come find you right away." Han Kexin's tone remained calm, and from her tone, it seemed that she already knew that Qin Xiaochuan's current situation was not good.
"Hmm." Qin Xiaochuan answered softly, then opened his mental space, maximizing his perception range, and quickly located Han Kexin and the others.
"I'm to your southeast," Qin Xiaochuan said. After saying that, he looked at the crescent moon in the sky again, and the last skill that Deputy Leader Qian released came to mind.
"It seems that level 9 spiritual power is not a simple increase in spiritual power." Qin Xiaochuan muttered to himself. This battle not only greatly improved his combat skills, but also allowed him to witness the strength of top experts.
After his spiritual power level is raised to level 9, he can not only master domain skills, but also make his skills undergo a qualitative change. Although he can now use the level 9 spiritual power in the Witch's Ring, it is still incomparable to the effect of the skills released by his own spiritual power. In the future, he must try to avoid direct conflict with ability users above level 9.
"I really hope I can raise my spiritual power level soon." Qin Xiaochuan endured the pain and raised his right hand. He looked at the bluish-white flame dancing in his hand and was filled with hope for the future.
Han Kexin and the others quickly found Qin Xiaochuan. When they saw him lying on the beach, covered in wounds and calmly smiling at them, Han Kexin frowned. Guo Shiyi rushed over, tending to Qin Xiaochuan's wounds while asking worriedly, "How did you get so badly injured?"
"Scars are badges of honor for men," Qin Xiaochuan said nonchalantly.
"Hmph, you're so stubborn." Guo Shiyi glared at him, then gently helped him unbutton his shirt. However, the shirt was stuck with congealed blood, and even the slightest movement would affect his whole body. Qin Xiaochuan frowned in pain, but he didn't utter a sound.
"I remember you used to be quite afraid of pain, but now you can endure it so well," Han Kexin teased, watching from the side.
"People always grow up," Qin Xiaochuan said calmly. "I'm not the same person I used to be. After all, I'm a man who has ventured into dangerous places alone."
"You're really something." Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him. "You're definitely different from before. You're getting more and more talkative." After saying that, she ignored him and went to the side to quietly daydream.
Qin Xiaochuan smiled and remained silent. In fact, his transformation was all due to a change in mindset; great strength makes a person more confident.
Guo Shiyi channeled her spiritual power to create a small water column at her fingertips, gently striking the area on her shirt where the blood had congealed. As the water soaked in, the blood slowly dissolved, flowing down in streams of bright red liquid. Her shirt was then easily removed, and Qin Xiaochuan finally felt less pain.
