I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

An Lin and Liu Qianhuan began to scour the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks for their targets.

All the teachers responsible for judging combat capabilities soon discovered that the two of them had no intentions of engaging in any battles and instead seemed to be searching for something.

They were quite perplexed to see this, but it wasn’t as if they were breaking any rules, so there wasn’t really anything they could do about it.

The two of them had flown for close to eight hours and basically searched through every corner of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, but they were still unable to find any of their four targets.

“How rotten is our luck! Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, Zuo Qiubing, we haven’t even seen one of them.” Liu Qianhuan sighed in exasperation.

“That means there’s a good chance they’re gathered in a small area, we have to hurry!”

An Lin was getting quite agitated. No one could remain calm when they were faced with the threat of becoming a eunuch.

Thus, they scoured through the southern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.

An Lin saw Liu Dabao battling a tenth-stage Dao Body student on the way and was momentarily overcome by emotions. Liu Dabao was basically a walking pile of free points back in the day, but that was no longer the case.

Liu Dabao’s Divine Sun Technique imbued each of his attacks with the purest power of the sun. His opponent was a student proficient in ice category spell techniques, and he could only rely on his agile movement techniques to avoid Liu Dabao’s attacks.

In the end, he still fell to Liu Dabao’s iron fist.

After spectating this match, An Lin continued his search. This time, they came to the western region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.

NIght slowly fell and the two of them each swallowed a Fasting Pill so they could do without rest and continue in their search.

There were still battles taking place on the ground below them and the loud rumbles of spell techniques being unleashed could be heard from time to time.

An Lin suddenly detected a faint vital energy fluctuation as he flew along.

“In the east!” He immediately turned to fly toward a certain mountain peak in the distance.

The vital energy fluctuations grew stronger and stronger, and he could hear the sound of thunder rumbling in the distance like the roar of an ancient beast.

Finally, after flying for a few more kilometers, they were greeted by the sight of a huge black energy vortex in the sky. Lightning flashed within the vortex, which contained a devastating amount of energy.

The two of them slowly began to descend toward where the battle was taking place.

Boom!

Another resounding boom erupted and lightning suddenly began to flash as two figures retreated in opposite directions.

An Lin caught a glimpse of the two people in battle and his heart trembled. He almost charged out immediately, but he was pulled back at the last second by Liu Qianhuan.

“Stay calm!” Liu Qianhuan cautioned in a solemn tone.

Veins were beginning to bulge in An Lin’s forehead as undisguised rage appeared in his eyes.

The two people engaged in battle were Xu Xiaolan and Zuo Qiubing.

Xu Xiaolan’s Jade Barley Ink Garment had been stained with blood, and she had sustained wounds on her stomach and arm. However, she remained extremely calm as she surveyed the man before her with a cold expression.

Zuo Qiubing wore a suit of lightning armor, and he too was in a bit of a sorry state, but his injuries were not as severe as Xu Xiaolan’s. A blue lightning domain fanned out in a radius of fifty feet around him and a huge lightning Kirin that was about ten meters tall stood behind him.

The two of them each took a step forward and clashed together again.

Xu Xiaolan wielded her Dragon Sparrow Sword and threatened to cut through all things standing in her way with the unrivaled sharpness of her blade.

Zuo Qiubing’s main tactic was to stand back while the lightning Kirin attacked in his stead, so he didn’t have to fear Xu Xiaolan’s attacks.

“You stay here, I’m gonna try to get closer to them.” An Lin felt like he couldn’t let this battle progress any longer. On top of that, his heart was burning with pent-up rage which he now decided to unleash.

“Are you crazy?! There are teachers supervising from above. If you meddle with their battle to try and land some cheap shots, you’re going to be immediately eliminated!” Liu Qianhuan dissuaded.

“I’ve got something up my sleeve.” An Lin reassured her.

His body then completely melted into the darkness and even his aura had disappeared.

This was the inheritance of the shadow demon! With An Lin’s current cultivation base, not even a teacher would be able to detect his presence under the cover of the night!

Liu Qianhuan’s mouth fell open in shock. She didn’t expect An Lin to be able to completely disappear and even erase his own presence right before her very eyes.

In the air above, Earth Immortal Wu Tong was surveying the battle below him with keen interest and he didn’t notice the person approaching in the darkness.

An Lin slowly closed in and stopped about a thousand feet from their battle. Fury coursed through his veins when he saw the injuries on Xu Xiaolan’s body.

Even though he knew it was quite normal to sustain injuries in the free-for-all battle, he still couldn’t help but be overcome by rage upon seeing Xu Xiaolan’s wounds.

Boom!

Xu Xiaolan slashed out a lightning flames dual sword projection and sliced the lightning Kirin cleanly in half.

Zuo Qiubing retreated a few steps and the lightning within his domain suddenly became a lot denser. The bolts of lightning squirmed like countless lightning snakes before materializing another lightning Kirin.

“Surrender, Xu Xiaolan. You’ve already defeated Su Qianyun and that basically guarantees a spot in the top five on the Immortal Rankings Board. You’ve already been weakened during your previous battle and are in no condition to fight. You’ll only be piling more pain on yourself if you continue to fight me and for what cause?!” Zuo Qiubing spoke coldly.

Xu Xiaolan wielded her longsword, and her lithe and graceful body became completely engulfed in flames. Her aura became explosively more powerful as her eyes turned gold and powerful dragon might emanated from within them.

“So you choose to battle me when I’ve been weakened and you try to convince me to surrender when I’m down, do you really think I’m a pushover?! I won’t back down from this battle no matter what!” Xu Xiaolan’s voice was cold and full of determination.

An Lin faltered slightly after hearing this. His rage grew even fiercer.

So Xu Xiaolan had just defeated Su Qianyun, immediately following which this bastard Zuo Qiubing came to land a killing blow on her.

F*ck, how dare he?!

This Zuo Qiubing was trying to land a killing blow on An Lin’s balls!

“That’s the nature of the free-for-all battle. No one here would care if you had just been weakened in a previous battle or not.” Zuo Qiubing began to make his way toward Xu Xiaolan with a cold expression. The lightning Kirin began to gather power behind him as its body slowly increased in size from its previous thirty feet to fifty feet and the power of lightning imbued within the Kirin was also many times more powerful than before.

An Lin was struck by a sense of deja vu as Zuo Qiubing’s words reminded him of what Liu Qianhuan had said to Tang Ximen the previous day. However, it felt completely different hearing these words being uttered by Zuo Qiubing.

Zuo Qiubing crossed his arms as lightning began to crackle within his eyes. The lightning in his domain surged violently and thunderclaps could be heard from miles away. “I attained this domain as well as this Kirin technique after observing Classmate An Lin’s trial tribulation. The spell technique itself is imbued with the power of heaven and earth. Be on your guard, Classmate Xu Xiaolan.”

Xu Xiaolan recalled back to An Lin’s trial tribulation, and she raised her chin like a proud phoenix as a slight smile appeared on her face. “Your Kirin is not very impressive, it’s vastly inferior compared to his!”

An Lin was a little ecstatic to hear Xu Xiaolan’s words.

It was the greatest feeling to hear someone compliment you behind your back, as those were the most genuine compliments!

However, he immediately came to his senses. The threat of becoming a eunuch was imminent so this was no time to be basking in joy.

Zuo Qiubing’s face fell and he waved an arm forward. The lightning Kirin immediately lunged toward Xu Xiaolan and descended with the devastating power of heaven and earth.

Xu Xiaolan faced the Kirin without even a single hint of fear in her expression as she slashed out a lightning fire dual sword projection of over a thousand feet in length which lit up the entire sky and crashed toward the lightning Kirin!
