TWSFLD-Chapter 114: Feng Xi Clapped Her Hands and Called It a Day!

It wasn’t known whether the Heaven-and-Earth Banner was retaliating against Feng Xi, but it didn’t give her any time to rest and directly sent her and Xing Wu into the third trial.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhilan and the others were still resting.

Feng Xi and Xing Wu were each inside an extremely spacious room, countless small beetles emitting multicolored fluorescent light flew above their heads.

Brilliant and dazzling, beautiful beyond description!

A jar appeared in their hands, Feng Xi’s was red, Xing Wu’s was blue.

Along with the jar came a sheet of paper stating the condition for clearing the trial.

“Within three hours, use your hands to catch thirty beetles of the same color as your jar to clear the trial.

If you catch a beetle of the wrong color, you will be eliminated immediately.”

Xing Wu immediately said boldly, “This doesn’t seem difficult!”

After speaking, he leapt up and reached for a blue beetle.

But when he jumped, the blue beetle turned pink. Xing Wu quickly withdrew his hand.

Because once he caught the wrong one, he would be eliminated.

Unwilling to give up, he tried again, with the same result.

After ten attempts, he still hadn’t caught a matching beetle.

Outside the Heaven-and-Earth Banner, the melon-eating onlookers discussed, “It seems this trial tests coordination of body, eyes, and footwork, as well as agility. One must be both fast and accurate, otherwise you can’t catch them at all.”

“Yes, I observed that the beetles’ color changes have no discernible pattern. Waiting for them to come to you won’t work.”

“Also, the density of beetles is too high. A slight mistake and you’ll catch the wrong one and be eliminated.”

……

Li Nanshi and the others showed smiles on their faces, Feng Xi had no way to take shortcuts in this trial, let’s see what she does!

As they thought this, they looked at Feng Xi in the other room and saw the little girl was currently eating meat buns!

She showed no intention of catching beetles at all.

One couldn’t tell whether to praise her for being calm or criticize her for being heartless.

Only after Xing Wu had already caught five beetles did she stand up.

She formed hand seals, and several strands of spiritual fire shot out, burning a large cluster of beetles.

She narrowed her eyes, then burned another batch.

Now only forty to fifty beetles remained in the room.

Feng Xi felt more refreshed.

Then she used spiritual qi vines to bind all the remaining beetles and lined them up in two rows in front of her.

After a moment, one turned red. Feng Xi picked it up with her hand and put it into the jar.

After a while, another turned red…

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Feng Xi clapped her hands and called it a day!

Li Nanshi and the others: “……”

If you say she violated the rules…

She did use her hands and didn’t touch beetles of other colors.

But if you say she didn’t violate the rules…

Why does it feel so infuriating to watch?!

Regardless of their thoughts, Feng Xi cleared the trial and received a Xuan-rank defensive spiritual artifact.

Feng Xi was quite satisfied. She took out a small wooden bed from her storage ring, laid her head on a small pillow, covered herself with a small quilt, and began taking a nap.

The miserable Xing Wu was still jumping around catching beetles!

At this moment, Shen Zhilan and the others also entered the third trial.

Most were similar to Xing Wu, diligently catching beetles.

Some, with better footwork, caught them faster.

For example, Shen Zhilan, her sleeves fluttering, movements light and graceful, her footwork quite good.

The melon-eating onlookers had complicated expressions.

If they hadn’t seen Feng Xi’s outrageous operation, they would’ve found Shen Zhilan’s movements beautiful. But now, watching her jump around, she looked like… a monkey.

Not only her, everyone else looked like monkeys!

Especially when Shen Zhilan finished first and showed a hint of pride.

The more one looked, the more she resembled a fool!

Some even suspected that the Heaven-and-Earth Banner separated the two groups just to highlight the stupidity of the others through Feng Xi!

Finally, the three-hour limit arrived.

One demon and one human were eliminated.

The demon eliminated was a disciple of the Dun Demon Clan, on the human side, it was Lu Xiuhan.

His leg had been injured in the previous trial. Although he had taken pills, it still affected him.

His face was full of gloom, Shen Zhilan came over and softly comforted him for a few words before he forced a smile.

“Junior Sister Zhilan, I can’t accompany you forward anymore. Be careful, I believe the Heavenly Dao qi will definitely be yours!”

Shen Zhilan smiled, “Second Senior Brother, thank you for your auspicious words. I will certainly do my utmost.

Rest well, we’ll meet again outside.”

But inwardly she sneered:

Fool!

Only if you’re eliminated can I go further!

This time the Heaven-and-Earth Banner gave no rest and directly entered the fourth trial.

In front of each person appeared a humanoid puppet made of special materials.

To pass, one had to obtain the jade token embedded in the puppet’s shoulder.

The puppet immediately launched fierce attacks.

The melon-eating onlookers’ first thought was, Feng Xi can’t use tricks this time!

After all, puppets have no consciousness, she can’t fool them if she wanted to.

Indeed, Feng Xi didn’t chatter this time, she honestly drew her wooden sword and fought the puppet.

Her sword technique was somewhat sluggish. At times she even seemed to forget moves, frowning as she pondered.

Many people showed disappointment.

Feng Xi’s little brain was indeed clever, but her swordsmanship was too poor!

Ying Qianli, elder of the Shadow Demon Clan, said with a forced smile, “Sect Master Xiao, you should take the time to properly teach Feng Xi swordsmanship, her sword technique is chaotic and too lacking!”

Although Xiao Baidao also thought his little disciple’s sword technique wasn’t good, he still had to protect his own!

With a faint smile he said, “You might not know this, but this child Xiao Xi enjoys experimenting with new things. She’s probably researching a new sword technique!”

Ying Qianli: “……”

Do you feel guilty saying that?

A Qi Refining Stage cultivator researching new sword techniques?

That’s simply nonsense!

He didn’t bother to argue further. At this rate, Feng Xi would soon be eliminate, he could mock Xiao Baidao then.

Soon, half an hour passed.

In the other area, people had begun clearing the trial one after another. This time, first place was Si Shi, second was Shen Zhilan.

They exchanged a glance, Shen Zhilan indifferently looked away.

The melon-eating onlookers didn’t notice this, but observed that those who finished first were Foundation Establishment Stage disciples, while Golden Core Stage disciples were behind.

This indicated that the Heaven-and-Earth Banner weakened level differences and tested comprehension and aptitude.

Xiao Baidao strongly agreed, stroking his beard, “So, Xiao Xi is the most outstanding among these disciples!”

Everyone: “……”

As long as you’re happy!

Haven’t you seen Feng Xi being forced into a spinning top by the puppet?!

She’s running all over the room!

It’s impressive that she could run so fast!

Suddenly, Feng Xi seemed like a different person. Her sword speed more than doubled, each strike landing in unexpected positions.

In just five exchanges, she forced the puppet into a corner.

She bound it with spiritual qi vines, then tied it with a Spirit-Binding Rope.

She didn’t take the jade token. Instead, she opened the puppet’s chest, pried out the spiritual stones from the control plate, and stuffed them into her storage ring.

Shamelessly, this rascal even tried to store the puppet itself in her storage ring.

It didn’t work.

At that moment, a new puppet appeared.

Feng Xi subdued it in fewer than ten moves!

Bound it and removed the spiritual stones!

……

Half an hour later, a row of puppets was arranged in Feng Xi’s room.

She noticed that each puppet’s shoulder jade token had different patterns.

Since the control plate had no spiritual stones, would removing the jade token still count as clearing the trial?

Sure enough, she soon obtained a stack of jade tokens.

She felt delighted!

Even if useless inside the Heaven-and-Earth Banner, they could be sold for a good price!

Another day of working hard to earn money for Master!

Shining brightly!

Invincibly adorable!

The brightest cub of Xuantian Sect!
