The Romantic Cultivator

Both Ji Yuan and Lin Antian were both surprised by the outcome as well.

The trial spirit quickly explained to the speculators as well as to the combatants, "To encourage the combatants to fight harder for their victories, it is decided that the time given will be halved instead. Therefore this fight is a draw. Didn't the spirit attendants explain to you that the rules for the 10th wing have been changed today?"

The speculators were muttering among themselves; indeed, many of them had neglected to check the rules as they assumed that it would be the same for all the matches.

"So it is like this…"

"I know that the rules for the 10th wing battle will be different…"

"It makes sense that the rules for the 10th wing battle are different than the usual ones…"

Ji Yuan raised his hand to bow at his opponent while Lin Antian did the same as well; it was obvious to both of them that the two of them both still have their hidden trump cards because they still have their radiance vibes around them.

It would still take them many rounds of fights to know who would have the upper hand in the end and 30 minutes was simple too short.

All of a sudden Ji Yuan shouted, "Wait! I've a question to ask from the trial spirit! Don't send us away just yet."

"You may ask." The trial spirit echoed from the top of the battle arena.

Ji Yuan said, "The two of us are the first to fight for the 10th wings. But what if the others refuse to advance to the 10th wing? It will be the two of us again. We will only end up exhausting our profound strength and be food for the rest of the rest of the cultivators."

The reason why he was asking this question was because he did not want to fight Lin Antian again so he was hoping the trial spirit would assign him a new opponent.

"What you have said made sense." The trial spirit announced. "Therefore I will be making a special exception today to reward the courageous cultivators that have already got their 9th wings. All of you will be treated as overcoming this trial and you will have access to the 10th wing cultivation hall before you leave the trial."

Ji Yuan was startled, "That means that I've cleared the trial?!"

Among the speculators were Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing; they were too startled and overjoyed that they would be clearing the trial.

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi were actually worried that they may be fighting against one another. They would naturally opt for a draw if they had the unfortunate chance to fight against each other of course.

All the speculators together with Ji Yuan and Lin Antian were all laughing jovially; they had all cleared the S Trial now and would be receiving their S Trial rewards.

Ji Yuan laughed, "Then am I considered to be the first to have cleared the trial or Lin Antian?"

The trial spirit seemed to hiss before echoing, "Both of you are first."

The rules for the trial had suddenly been changed because Xiang Li was telling to Anyang Xiayou, "Help my Big Brother to complete the trial."

Anyang Xiayou had answered, "This is cheating and blending the rules of the trial…"

"But you're the trial spirit and you set the rules, am I right?" Xiang Li giggled.

Anyang Xiayou: …

Xiang Li giggled, "Help the rest as well. They are all my favorite maidens."

Anyang Xiayou: …

Anyang Xiayou: …

Anyang Xiayou: …

Ji Yuan was in high jovial spirits as he entered the 10th wing cultivation hall.

With him were Feng Minyue, Yu Jingjing and Mo Bei.

But as soon as he entered the 10th wing cultivation hall he was suddenly frowning because he had realized that he had no high grade spirit stones to do any purchases.

"Xiang Li, we are definitely broke and can't afford anything here."

Xiang Li giggled, "Don't worry Big Brother, I'm sure that today will be your lucky day."

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "I am not too sure about this…"

All of a sudden the voice of the trial spirit had echoed above him, "No. 44 444 Ji Yuan, because you are the first to overcome the trial, you may use your slaughter points to purchase the cultivation resources here. One slaughter point is equivalent to 100,000 high grade spirit stones."

Ji Yuan was overjoyed because he had 63 slaughter points now.

"Xiang Li, haha…you're right. Today is really my lucky day."

Xiang Li giggled, "I told you so."

Xiang Li had of course rigged it with Anyang Xiayou by persuading her to give her Big Brother a special privilege. "An immortal-step divine sword will be your new home and best of all, you got to follow me, your new spirit master."

Ji Yuan laughed to everyone, "Haha. It seems that I've some special privilege even though I'm dirt poor. Why don't everyone go around to take a look first around first? If you need my help, feel free to ask me."

Mo Bei laughed jovially as he extended his hands to bow gratefully, "I shall say thanks to you first Junior Ji Yuan…"

"Except for you, of course." Ji Yuan laughed.

Mo Bei: …

Mo Bei: …

Mo Bei: …

"You're supposed to help the Mo Clan in the trial." Mo Bei reminded him.

Ji Yuan laughed, "But I've already promised in advance to help these two maidens that are with us. I can only help you third in line."

Mo Bei frowned. "When did you just promise to help them in advance? How come I've never known about this?"

Ji Yuan chuckled, "Just now. Didn't you hear?"

Mo Bei: …

"It is more like you are only helping them because they are two pretty maidens."

Ji Yuan smiled, "I don't mind if you can transform yourself into a pretty maiden as well."

Mo Bei: …

Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing were rolling their eyes; it was obvious that Ji Yuan did not want to help Mo Bei.

Yu Jingjing was suddenly saying melancholy to Ji Yuan, "After this trial, we will go our separate ways."

Ji Yuan asked her, "Is this your second trial of this level?"

Yu Jingjing nodded slowly, "I'll be going to the fifth level after this. I may not return…"

Ji Yuan interrupted her with a laugh, "I am going to the fifth level as well. See you soon."

Yu Jingjing hummed unhappily, "How can you still be so happy about it? There is only a slim chance that we will meet. Don't expect me to collect your corpse for you or come to your aid."

Ji Yuan rubbed his chin, "What if we are able to meet again? Then won't we be a perfect match?"

Yu Jingjing smiled bitterly, "Rubbish!"

"Or maybe Maiden Feng and I will be a perfect match instead because we got to meet each other." Ji Yuan chuckled.

Feng Minyue turned her face shyly away, "Who is a perfect match for you? It is only because…" She could not continue because she knew that they would meet later due to the influence that Xiang Li had exerted.

After Feng Minyue had questioned Ji Yuan repeatedly, Ji Yuan had finally told her that it was because of Xiang Li and he had told her of the circumstances.

Feng Minyue was astonished that Xiang Li could affect the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth to such a degree.

Mo Bei was sighing deeply, "Alas! Unfortunately, we are all going to our own separate ways very soon."

"Good to see you, Senior Mo Bei but I hope that we won't see each other so soon." Ji Yuan chuckled.

Mo Bei growled, "Without my aid and stratagem, do you think that you can overcome this trial? You ungrateful oaf!"

"Seriously." Ji Yuan frowned as he tried very hard to recall. "I don't remember any aid or advice from you."

Mo Bei grinned, "You do have my spiritual support, remember."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"I am going to take a look around here. See you in a while time." Ji Yuan muttered weakly. "And don't follow me."

Mo Bei: …
