Chapter 38 - 36: The Fourth Simulation of Cultivation, the Strange Younger Sister Lin Xue, What Exactly Is She?

This specially made tent is very large, like a small living room inside. After a while, Li Kang, Bai Jing, Zhang Weidong, and Liu Yang all walked into the tent. Seeing Su Chen playing a game, no one disturbed him. Li Kang, Bai Jing, and Liu Yang started discussing the martial artist survival test happening tomorrow. Zhang Weidong was left out, feeling somewhat awkward, so he approached Su Chen and, holding back his unease, said. "Su Chen, I know I’ve targeted you several times before. You might think I’m participating in the martial arts tournament this time to team up against you in Wilderness Gorge, but this time it’s different. I’m really participating for our class’s honor, for Instructor Ling Yue’s honor, and also to fight alongside you, hoping to resolve our previous conflicts... I hope you can overlook what I did to you before?" As Zhang Weidong spoke, his expression was somewhat comical, like he was feigning sincerity but it appeared fake. At this moment, his gaze seemed more filled with awe and apprehension towards Su Chen. "I know, you don’t need to say more..." Su Chen directly interrupted Zhang Weidong, continuing to play his game as he calmly said. "Since we’re all members of the Moon God Squad now, the most important thing is to advance in tomorrow’s martial artist survival test. Any other grievances, let’s set them aside for now. As long as you don’t pull any tricks in the test, naturally, I won’t hold past grievances against you." Su Chen’s indifferent attitude somewhat annoyed Zhang Weidong, but he held it in. He nodded and said. "Don’t worry, I won’t, Brother Chen. You’re the captain of the Moon God Squad. Whether in the martial artist survival test or the final competition, I’ll definitely follow your arrangements." When Zhang Weidong said this, he still felt a bit guilty. After all, as a privileged second-generation, sincerely apologizing to others was really out of his comfort zone. "Alright, just go take care of your own business..." Su Chen really didn’t have much hope for this rich second-generation who always resorted to family power like Zhang Weidong. Even if he genuinely wanted to contribute to the class, at most, he could only serve as cannon fodder. As for Li Kang, Liu Yang, and Bai Jing, Su Chen was quite satisfied. Even though they were still far from the standard of a proper martial artist, they could still play a certain role. As for Zhang Weidong, Su Chen thought, as long as he didn’t drag down the Moon God Squad, that would be sufficient. Outside had been noisy, but as Su Chen played a few rounds of games, Celestial God Mountain gradually quieted down, and the sounds outside grew increasingly faint. At this moment, Instructor Ling Yue’s voice came from outside. "The night is deep; everyone, rest. Tomorrow is the first round of the martial arts tournament, a martial artist survival drill. Someone will explain the rules of the live survival drill to you. Once explained, all participating teams will enter Wilderness Gorge one by one." Li Kang, Bai Jing, and the chubby Liu Yang soon rested on their respective bunks, and Zhang Weidong obediently stayed on his bunk, while Su Chen was meditating with closed eyes, cultivating. However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened. "Ding, the Cultivation World is opening again. The Master can continue cultivating from the last progress. Would the Master like to begin cultivating immediately?" What? The fourth simulation cultivation started at this moment. Su Chen felt a stirring in his heart, and his gaze immediately lit up with excitement. Being able to enhance his abilities again on the eve of the martial arts tournament was a rare opportunity. Su Chen immediately responded in his mind. "Yes, start cultivating right away..." Ding... The Master has successfully entered the Cultivation World filled with endless mysteries and challenges. "You defeated the Outer Sect Steward Wang Dongtao and buried his body at Chaotic Tomb Ridge, then you quickly escaped back to your hometown, Fuzetown..." "Upon returning home, you saw your parents anxiously gathered around your sister’s bed, with several ladies from the tavern holding down your sister’s hands and feet..." "You were very anxious, hurriedly calling your sister’s name as you approached the bed, only to see that your sister’s pupils were completely black, with no whites or eyeballs visible. Strange, ancient black talismans were faintly appearing on her skin." "Someone beside you said your sister Lin Xue was possessed and needed exorcism." "You didn’t believe it, so you drove all the tavern women out, guarding your sister Lin Xue alone. Then you tried suppressing the continuously emerging black talismans in her body with your Nine Yang Divine Skill’s inner strength." "Unexpectedly, even though you had exerted all your inner strength, you still couldn’t completely eradicate the evil force within your sister Lin Xue. You watched as her expression turned painful."
