Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Test, Surprise_1

Uh, okay, every time Dandan looks down on me, I’ve already become immune to it.

"So, how can I see what’s inside?" Dugu Qianye asked seemingly sincerely.

"It’s similar to a Space Ring, just think that you want to go inside, and you’ll be there."

That simple? With a thought, she found herself in another environment.

Blue sky, white clouds, below were rolling Qing Shan, towering forests reaching into the clouds, a crystal-clear river at the foot of the mountains extending towards an endless plain, fertile land, the land filled with various ancient herbs, common vegetables and fruits of the four seasons found on Earth. There were also various animals and plants in the forest.

Boundless, with no end in sight.

After a long while, one person and three beasts recovered from their amazement. Xiaohuo reverted to its original form, flying about in the air, somersaulting.

"Master, Master, I really like it here, it’s even prettier than Cangmang Mountain!"

"Master, the Phantom Power here is so rich!" Xiaoyin ran around on the ground, shouting excitedly.

"Hehe," Dugu Qianye was also delighted. Such a treasure, and from now on, it would be hers. What mattered most was that there were so many things from Earth, giving her a sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, Dugu Qianye felt someone pulling at her skirt. She looked down and saw a two- or three-year-old child, with chubby pink cheeks, wearing two topknots, dressed in a bellyband. Uh, and drool was dribbling from the corner of his mouth.

"What a cute child." Dugu Qianye picked up the child and poked at his little face, asking, "Who are you?"

The child slapped the big hand away from its face and said, "Master, I’m the Artifact Spirit!"

"Artifact Spirit?" Dugu Qianye looked at the tiny person in her arms. She knew that some Divine Artifacts would have their own Artifact Spirits, but an Artifact Spirit this small?

Feeling Dugu Qianye’s doubt, the child pouted, "It’s all because I was sealed for too long, that’s why I didn’t grow up and even got smaller."

"So, what can you do?" Dugu Qianye had never encountered an Artifact Spirit before and was deeply curious.

"I’m in charge of everything here, and I can do whatever I want with just a thought." The child wiped its mouth on Dugu Qianye’s clothes, immediately transferring the drool there.

Dugu Qianye’s face was stricken with black lines; could she opt out of taking care of a child?!

"Well, then I’ll leave the care of this place to you!" Such a large area, if she were to manage it, even 48-hour days wouldn’t be enough. "By the way, how come there are so many animals and plants from Earth here?"

"My previous master took them when he traveled to Earth. I always move animals and plants I don’t have into my space whenever I go to a new place. Originally, there were very few of each kind, but after so many years, they grew into this on their own."

"Hehe, with so many good things, let’s celebrate today. Dudu, from now on, you’ll be called Dudu. Come help me," she said as she selected some ingredients she was skilled at cooking and brought them outside. Then, she had Dudu help her find condiments like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, black pepper, green onions, ginger, and garlic. After that, she had Mo Feng assist her, and they made a table full of dishes. Mo Feng, seeing all these unusual and exotic items, kept asking what this was and what that was, the picture of curiosity. Though he didn’t recognize the ingredients, once the dishes were served, he didn’t stop eating, competing with the three beasts at the table in a lively contest.

Getting to eat familiar food again greatly improved Dugu Qianye’s mood. The food in this world wasn’t tasty at all; before, she had no choice but to eat it to survive. Now that she had the Refining Demon Pot, she finally didn’t have to torture her stomach anymore.

In the following days, Dugu Qianye was busy consolidating her newly gained strength, striving to ensure each step was firmly grounded.

On the day the competition began, the weather was exceptionally clear. The venue for the competition was the central square in Qifeng City.

Early in the morning, the square was already bustling with people. Many residents of the city came to watch, as such events were rare. In the middle of the square, two fifty-meter-long and two-meter-high stages had been set up, and the steps on the right side of the square were filled with chairs. At the very top, there were only four chairs, prepared for the leaders of the four great families.

Around eight o’clock, members from the four great families arrived at the square concurrently. The four family heads greeted each other and, after a show of humility, settled down at the viewing area. Other family members sat together in groups.

Inside the Ji Family’s resting area, Ji Lingling and Ji Anyang were searching for Dugu Qianye. Seeing her in the Mo Family’s resting area, they both smiled meaningfully.

"Brother, today you must kill that trash," Ji Lingling said fiercely.

"Don’t worry. She made you lose face that day; I won’t let her off," Ji Anyang replied with a squint, "Accidents are inevitable during the competition. A little mishap, and her luck won’t be so good!"

"Hmph, that trash!"

Within the Mo Family’s resting area, Dugu Qianye was chatting with her beasts to pass the time. She wasn’t unaware of the murderous glances from the Ji Family, but she didn’t take them to heart.

The Mo Family had a mix of expectations and surprises regarding her appearance. She was just of the right age to participate, but bringing such a ’useless’ person to compete...

"Hey, it would be best if you just climbed up and jumped down yourself later. Humph, I can’t believe father would let you, a..." Mo Ju ran up to Dugu Qianye and said.

"Instead of worrying about me, worry about yourself. You are, after all, someone who lost to me," Dugu Qianye said lightly, successfully silencing Mo Ju.

At eight-thirty, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage. He first gave a salute to the resting areas, then to the crowd all around, and said, "I am Wang Youwei, the president of the Mercenary Guild in Qifeng City. I am honored to be invited to preside over and judge this competition between the four great families. Today’s competition is the preliminary mixed fight, where everyone will ascend the stage together, until only twenty people remain on each stage. No Phantom Beasts can be used during the preliminaries, and intentional harming of lives is prohibited. Qiu Family against Li Family on stage one, Ji Family against Mo Family on stage two. Now, competitors, please ascend the stage." Having finished, Wang Youwei stepped down from the stage and sat in the judges’ area.

The young disciples of the Mo, Ji, Qiu, and Li families stepped onto the stage, and sparks instantly flew.

On stage two, members of the Mo Family and Ji Family faced each other. The Mo Family had twenty-four people, and the Ji Family twenty-nine, leaving the Mo Family at a numerical disadvantage.

Mo Lian stood at the front of the squad and said, "Everyone, back-to-back, try to form teams together. Defense first, then offense." Having said that, Mo Lian gathered Phantom Power in her hands and threw it toward the Ji Family to disrupt their formation.

Ji Anping led the Ji Family team, with the Swordsmen at the front and the Phantom Masters behind, launching an attack on the Mo Family. Before long, the formations of both teams were disrupted, and the individuals were scattered.

Seizing this opportunity, Ji Lingling and Ji Anyang launched an attack on Dugu Qianye, attempting to pinch her from the left and right. Dugu Qianye employed the Ethereal Step Technique, seemingly struggling but dodging out of the way.
