Chapter 044: The Right Path
The wind continued to blow, and Lu Xun did not move after putting down the brush.
He wasn't trying to be cool; he was just exhausted and a little dazed, and needed some time to adapt.
To be exact, if he hadn't supported himself on the table with his left hand, his legs would probably have gone weak.
Now, he could still upgrade, and he still had a lot of experience points. Unfortunately, although he would have full health and mana after upgrading, the mental fatigue could not be compensated, so he decided not to upgrade for now.
What's more, he has become so weak that he can't even move. It would be too weird if he could break through under such circumstances.
As a man, there's nothing shameful in feeling weak occasionally!
Elder Qiu Shui, as the eldest sister among the outer sect elders, was a careful person. She saw that Lu Xun was not in good condition, so she took him aside to rest.
The outer disciples looked at the overdrawn look of their junior uncle-master and understood at once the standard of this trial - the standard was to be like their junior uncle-master, and draw until everything was empty!
Lu Xun didn't know that because of the example he set, this trial seemed to have gone astray.
Originally, we could stop when we had finished painting almost to the point, but our junior uncle-master has worked so hard, it would seem a bit unreasonable for us, his disciples, not to paint until we faint?
Next, it’s time to watch Ji Li’s performance.
Lu Xun found an empty space and sat on the ground. If he wasn't burdened with being an idol, he would probably have collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.
He took out two dates picked by Mao Nanbei from the storage ring . After eating them, he felt refreshed all over and the dizziness was better.
He watched Ji Li walk over and pick up the brush, and watched her dip it in ink...her hands didn't even shake!
As expected, she is a girl with super strength, she is really strong!
This little girl is so strong and physically fit, it would be a waste if she wasn't used as a "perpetual motion machine".
Just as Lu Xun thought, Ji Li was born with supernatural powers, which gave her a certain advantage in this trial. At least when she first took the pen to dip it in ink, she didn't feel too much of a burden.
Next, it depends on how she draws.
Ji Li took the pen and walked to the huge talisman paper. Without thinking, she chose the edge of the position drawn by Lu Xun.
She wanted to be the first to occupy the place closest to what Lu Xun had drawn, and it would be best if she could draw a circle to wrap it up.
The moment the tip of the pen touched the talisman paper, Ji Li's body trembled slightly.
Only after personal experience did she realize how difficult it was to paint with this pen.
She began to draw with simple movements, and her painting was intermittent, and she couldn't even draw a continuous line.
The outer disciples then realized that the difficulty of this trial might be even greater than they had imagined!
After all, Ji Li is a genius in cultivation with eight ripples. Even she finds it so difficult, so you can imagine how difficult it is.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Xun again. The junior uncle-master was writing on the talisman paper with great skill!
The feeling of reverence arises again.
Lu Xun was paying attention to Ji Li while taking a rest at this moment, and then he was surprised to find that his reputation value began to rise slightly again!
"What's going on? I've already gone off the stage to rest, how can my reputation still increase?" Lu Xun was a little confused.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ji Li took a lot of effort to draw a continuous line. Then she followed Lu Xun's example and tried to draw a straight line first, but the line she drew was very twisted, like a earthworm.
After all, she was a magical girl who sacrificed her brain for growth. Stupidly, she didn't ask to draw the line straight. She just wanted to draw the line as long as possible and circle everything Lu Xun drew!
Damn possessiveness!
Lu Xun watched her movements, slowly understood some of what was going on, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt speechless.
When she was drawing the final part, Ji Li's whole body was shaking, and she finally drew a distorted pattern that surrounded what Lu Xun had drawn.
She smiled foolishly, even a little proudly, very satisfied with her own achievements, and then her eyes turned black and she fell backwards.
Elder Qiu Shui waved his sleeves slightly, and Ji Li's body floated backwards and landed next to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun quickly took out two dates and stuffed them into Ji Li's mouth, making her cheeks bulge.
Looks just like a little hamster.
Fortunately, she was only mentally and spiritually overdrawn. A girl with extraordinary strength would not be physically overdrawn. She still had the energy to chew carefully for a while, and then whispered in her heart:
——“So sweet.”
A cool feeling swept through her body, and her energy and spirit were slowly recovering , but she was stupid enough not to pay attention to it.
She just thought it was sweet.
Ji Li spent about twenty minutes drawing, which was a very good performance. If she was doing a task, she would have almost achieved 100% completion.
The remaining outer disciples watched Ji Li almost faint, and each of them took a deep breath before going on stage, as if they were rushing to the execution ground.
Lu Xun made a good start, and Ji Li followed suit. The remaining outer disciples all knew the standard: as long as the person can't be painted to death, they should be painted to death!
——Don’t stop until you feel dizzy!
It was a normal outer sect trial, but it was turned astray by Lu Xun. Each outer sect disciple challenged the limits of the human body in a self-abuse manner. Elder Qiu Shui caught the falling bodies one after another, and she was a little confused.
Shen Yan and other peak masters on Changqing Peak were also a little confused. This trial was just to make the disciples understand what it meant to be subtle, so why did it suddenly become so "tragic"?
Xu Zhongcheng, who also had eight ripples, didn't want to lose to Ji Li.
Unfortunately, his talent in subtlety is just about the same as Ji Li's. In addition, Ji Li is a girl with super strength, which gives her a small advantage. So no matter how hard he tries, he can't hold on as long as Ji Li, and he starts foaming at the mouth!
Elder Qiushui: “…”
These outer disciples won't all be broken...
Lu Xun, who was sitting at the back watching the fun, had a warm smile on his face the whole time, and encouragement in his eyes. He was like a perfect elder with good looks and a gentle personality, and he had no idea that it was his fault.
Even if some outer disciples did not perform very well, he would still say a few words of encouragement. His voice was charming, but his tone was so gentle that it made people feel like a spring breeze, and people could feel his care at once.
It’s obvious that my junior uncle cooked so well, and it’s obvious that I’m such a bad cook... My junior uncle is such a nice person!
——The feeling of reverence is about to burst!
Isn't it just reputation points? Take it! Take it!
Lu Xun looked at the tools in front of him and felt that they were very knowledgeable.
It's just a smile, a few words of encouragement, like a book signing event, what's so difficult about it?
The key is to steadily increase your reputation!
When the day comes that the entire Demon Sect becomes my die-hard fan, my reputation will probably overflow!
What's more, this will not do any harm to the outer disciples, they really need encouragement.
Well! Although I sell smiles, talk nonsense, and attract fans who like my looks, I know that I am a good ancestor.
"I feel like I'm on the right track." The smile on Lu Xun's face suddenly became warmer.
