"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for killing Pang Bao and successfully acting tough. The reward is 10 acting tough points.”
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for killing Pang Bao. The reward is 400 experience points.”
The system notification sounded in his mind.
Xu Que was stunned.
F * ck, I…killed someone?
Xu Que was a little surprised. He had only wanted to test the power of the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations. He hadn't expected that the first transformation would kill Pang Bao, who was born with great strength, with one punch.
"Dragon…this…this is a dragon!”
Suddenly, a trembling voice filled with fear sounded.
Immediately after, the group of people from Waterback Village kneeled down on the ground in unison. Their faces were filled with fear. Their bodies were trembling as they cried and begged Xu Que,
"Ah! Immortal elder, please spare my life!"
"We were blind. Please spare our lives…"
Huh? What was going on?
Xu Que was stunned.
"Plop!" "Plop!"
Before he could figure out the situation, he heard a few muffled sounds behind him.
Xu Que turned around and was stunned.
A few villagers from Pan Shan Village knelt down and begged for mercy despite their injuries, their faces filled with panic.
He looked at Xiao Rou, who was also rooted to the spot, her eyes filled with fear.
How could this be?
Xu Que couldn't accept it at once. He didn't think much of the people from Waterback Village kneeling down to him.
However, he couldn't bear it when these simple villagers of Pan Shan Village kowtowed to him.
Especially when he saw Xiao Rou's terrified eyes, Xu Que felt as if someone had pinched his heart.
"Villagers, what are you doing? Get up! I only deal with these bad people, I won't hurt you?”
He quickly dispersed his spiritual energy, and the dragon-shaped radiance on his body suddenly disappeared. He shouted at the villagers of Pan Shan Village.
However, the villagers 'faces were still filled with fear. They knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
Xu Que was anxious. He looked at Xiao Rou and said," Xiao Rou, what... what's going on? Hurry up and wake the villagers up!" I have no ill intentions."
Xiao Rou came back to her senses and looked at Xu Que in panic,"You…you're an immortal…"
"What Immortal? I'm human like you!”
Xu Que was very surprised. Was a cultivator really that scary? Why were they so reverent as if they had seen a god?
"Xiao Rou, don't be afraid. I really won't hurt you. Tell me what's going on.”
"Really?" Xiao Rou said timidly.
"Of course it's true!" Xu Que nodded.
When Xiao Rou saw this, she regained a trace of her blood color and forced herself to calm down.
Then, she told Xu Que about the Celestials.
It turned out that in the east of Pan Shan Village and Back Water Village, there was a sect of cultivators, and it was the Celestial Sect.
Pan Shan Village and Back Water Village, as well as the other villages within a hundred miles, had always been under the protection of the Celestial Sect.
However, every month, every village had to pay tribute to the Celestial Sect. If a village killed a wild beast, they could use the demon nucleus in the wild beast's body to replace the grain.
However, once there were no demon cores and insufficient food, the village would be punished.
The people of the Celestial Sect would capture some of the able-bodied men from the village and bring them to the mountain. From then on, there would be no news of those able-bodied men, and their fate would be unknown.
That was why the villagers were so afraid of cultivators.
Xu Que was furious after hearing this.
The Celestial Sect had gone too far. They relied on their cultivation to exploit mortals, causing the villagers to panic.
"Didn't you resist?"
Xu Que asked.
But after asking, he wanted to slap himself.
This question was very idiotic. No matter how weak those people from the Celestial Sect were, they were at least at the Qi Cultivating Stage. They had spells, so how could these villagers be a match for them?
" We wouldn't dare..." Xiao Rou didn't think Xu Que was an idiot. She shook her head and replied.
Xu Que was silent for a while. Then he leaned towards Xiao Rou and said in a low voice,"Xiao Rou, I'll go home first. Explain to the villagers that I'm different from those people from the Celestial Sect. Tell them not to kneel and don't be afraid of me.”
"En, I believe you!" Xiao Rou nodded her head heavily. She was finally not as afraid as before.
This made Xu Que heave a sigh of relief. He raised his head and glanced at the group of people from Waterback Village."Right, Xiao Rou, let the people of Waterback Village continue kneeling. Tell them not to leave until the sun sets.”
After giving his instructions, Xu Que walked towards the village.
Halfway there, he met Da Zhuang and the others, who arrived late with the other villagers.
"Little brother, are you hurt?" Everyone asked when they saw him. Where's Pang Bao and the others?"
Xu Que quickly stopped them and said," My fellow villagers, there's no need to go. I've already taught Pang Bao and the others a lesson. Now, I'm asking them to kneel at the village entrance and reflect on themselves."”
"Ah! Really?" Everyone was surprised.
"Of course it's true. I can even fight wild beasts, let alone a panther!”Xu Que said with a smile.
The villagers were delighted and shouted,""Good job, little brother."
"Aiya! You flatter me." Xu Que also smiled. He liked this kind of faint feeling of acting cool.
……
After returning to Xiao Rou's house, Xu Que lay down on Xiao Mu's bed and sighed.
He knew that once Da Zhuang and the others found out about his identity, they would probably only be afraid. Even if they weren't afraid, they definitely wouldn't be able to chat with him as easily and happily as before.
"Sigh, forget it. I can't stay here forever anyway. After helping them settle the tribute issue, I should leave. The world was so big. He had to go and see it.”
Xu Que sat up on the bed.
He rolled his eyes and used his consciousness to summon the system.
Immediately, a personal information interface popped up in front of him.
Host: Xu Que

[Acting cool: 15 points]

[Status: Fuma of Fire Nation in Eastern Wastelands]
……”
"Eh, the progress of Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations has become 0.1? Is it because I just used it once?”
Xu Que exclaimed in surprise. It seemed that the progress of magic arts could also be increased by the number of times they were used. However, this speed seemed to be a little slow.
He was very dissatisfied with this speed. After a deep groan, he opened his storage space and swept his gaze across the pile of magic treasures and spells that he had stolen from the Celestial Sect's treasure vault.
"Let's try the recycling function first.”
Xu Que muttered to himself as he began to read the introduction of the magic arts.
"Light Body Technique. Eh, it seems like I can use it myself. I'll keep it for now.”The first spell he saw was the Celestial Sect's basic spell, the Light Body Spell. Xu Que remembered that he hadn't practiced any movement spells and was immediately interested.
Then, he continued to scan the area. All kinds of Celestial Sect spells were reflected in his eyes.
"Fire Cloud Fist, Flame Blade Technique, Dark Fire Sword Technique…they're all useless!”
Xu Que shook his head as he didn't like the dozens of spells.
After all, in the Fire Nation, almost all the cultivators had fire attribute spiritual roots, and they all cultivated fire-related spells.
However, Xu Que felt that these magic arts looked too ordinary and weren't the real precious cultivation arts of the Celestial Sect. Suo Xing only left a Light Body Technique, and the rest were all recycled by the System.
"Ding…recall of Fire Cloud Fist successful. Obtained 3 points of skill essence.”
"Ding! Retrieving Flame Blade Technique successful. Obtained 5 points of skill essence.”
"Ding…recall of Dark Fire Sword Technique successful. You have received 8 points of essence.”
"Ding…reclaim…"
