Female Protagonist Assistance System

Chapter 66 : . Robbing Black Sha

In truth, Xiao Han's decision to take Gu Xun'er out separately was because there were too many new students, making them a large target. This could potentially attract the Black and White Guan Sha all at once, and when facing a group of new students, it would be difficult for them to directly display their true strength. Rather than waiting passively, it was better for them to take the initiative and seek out their opponents, defeating them one by one.

With her powerful divine sense, Xiao Han only needed to extend it to cover the entire forest to know where their targets were.

First locking onto the all-black-clad team, Xiao Han embraced Gu Xun'er and flew towards them at extremely high speed.

In the forest, five men dressed entirely in black were walking forward somewhat aimlessly. One of them couldn't help but complain, "How come we haven't seen a single team of new students? They couldn't all have been divided up by others, could they?"

Another sneered and said, "How is that possible? How could the others take in so many new students? Besides, if they had all been divided up, the elders would definitely appear and end this hunting competition."

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but nod. So, the reason they hadn't encountered any new students for so long was probably just due to their bad luck.

Just then, the man in the lead suddenly stopped, his gaze sharp as he looked in a certain direction: "Who's there?!"

Hearing the man's voice, the others involuntarily stopped as well, assuming defensive postures. However, at the same time, they were puzzled, as they hadn't sensed any other presence.

The next second, they heard a clear and pleasant female voice: "Senior Sister, they've discovered us."

Following the voice, they finally noticed two girls in the tree.

One girl was as beautiful as a green lotus, her exquisite face bearing a light, joyful smile that captivated all the men present. Her legs dangled in the air, swinging gently. She was leaning against a cold and aloof-looking girl, who was also very attractive, but her aura was overwhelmingly strong, making her seem unapproachable.

The man in the lead swallowed hard, barely regaining his composure, and asked, "Who are you? New students?"

If they were new students, why would they be moving in pairs? And shouldn't new students run away upon seeing seniors? Why would they deliver themselves to their doorstep?

Could it be that their strength was too weak, and they were specifically seeking out seniors as backers?

The man was reluctant to judge these beautiful girls with such unsavory thoughts, but he really couldn't think of any other reason.

Xiao Han, being a seasoned veteran, immediately saw through the man's thoughts. Her expression grew even colder. She raised her chin and asked, "Black Sha?"

The man's brow furrowed slightly as he nodded.

Could they really be seeking a backer?

Xiao Han swept her gaze over them, then lowered her head and said to Gu Xun'er, "The leader is a nine-star Dou Great Master."

Gu Xun'er nodded, showing some eagerness: "Leave it to me."

Xiao Han smiled indulgently: "Alright."

Seeing the two chatting casually, the expressions of the Black Sha team members could be described as colorful. From what these two were saying, did they intend to deal with all five of them by themselves?

What a joke. Were all the new students this year so arrogant?

The leader's face also darkened. The members of their Black Sha team were top-tier in the Inner Court. Weren't these two girls looking down on them a bit too much?

"I am Sha Tie. May I ask how to address you two Junior Sisters?" the man said in a deep voice.

Gu Xun'er raised a bright smile and said, "Gu Xun'er, and this is my Senior Sister, Xiao Han."

Gu Xun'er? Xiao Han? Nice names, Sha Tie thought, still speaking in a relatively good tone: "Are you two Junior Sisters perhaps thinking of robbing us seniors?"

"What? Is it only allowed for seniors to rob new students of their fire energy in this hunting competition, and not for new students to rob seniors?" Gu Xun'er asked somewhat carelessly, playing with a lock of hair near her ear.

Sha Tie found this amusing. The men behind him exchanged glances and couldn't help but burst into laughter. One of them, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up, said between laughs, "Junior Sisters, don't be so boastful. You might succeed in robbing other seniors, but robbing our Black Sha team... are you serious?"

Sha Tie also found it incredible. He shook his head and said, "You should leave. We won't rob you this time, but next time might be different."

Hearing Sha Tie's words, the others were first stunned, then revealed meaningful smiles: "Oh ho, is the captain showing mercy to these beauties?"

Sha Tie cursed something in jest, saying, "No wonder you're all single!"

Hearing the Black Sha team's laughter, Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged. Gu Xun'er laughed and said, "Whether we can or not, we'll know once we try, won't we?"

With these words, she suddenly transformed into a golden light, charging towards the Black Sha team. The aura of a nine-star Dou Great Master erupted without reservation!

Sensing this aura, Sha Tie's expression changed: "A nine-star Dou Great Master?!"

Hearing this, the others' expressions changed as well. They couldn't help but curse inwardly—were the new students nowadays all this formidable?!

Gu Xun'er's first opponent was the team leader, Sha Tie. She transformed her fist into a palm, a golden Dou Qi-infused palm strike directly aimed at Sha Tie.

Sha Tie's expression shifted slightly. Even before they made contact, he could sense the terrifying energy contained within this golden Dou Qi!

No longer holding back, Sha Tie clenched his fists tightly, fiercely meeting Gu Xun'er's palm.

The rest stood frozen, unsure whether to help or not. After all, both were nine-star Dou Great Master, and their captain was an Inner Court senior with far more battle experience than this new student.

"Bored?" Just then, a ghostly figure appeared before them. Xiao Han stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze cold.

Seeing Xiao Han's posture, the remaining four exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile: "Junior Sister, you don't intend to challenge the four of us alone, do you?"

Xiao Han coldly curled her lips, suppressing her aura to that of a Dou Spirit: "So what if I do?"

Sensing Xiao Han's Dou Spirit aura, the others' expressions changed drastically: "A Dou Spirit?! How is this possible?!"

No wonder, no wonder these two dared to ambush them as seniors. So this was their backing!

A Dou Spirit and a nine-star Dou Great Master, what was there to fight about?!

Xiao Han didn't care what these people were thinking. Without another word, she struck out with a palm towards one of them.

The man was greatly alarmed. Xiao Han's speed was too fast; he had no time to dodge and could only instinctively raise his hand to block.

The next second, he was sent flying backwards.

Seeing their companion slapped away with one palm, the others all showed shocked expressions. They swallowed hard and reluctantly attacked Xiao Han.

Xiao Han opened her palm, facing upwards. Silver lightning instantly surged up. She suddenly raised her right hand, and the lightning exploded outward with her at the center.

"Thousand Thunder Frenzy."

The enormous force directly sent the other three flying. The terrifying lightning completely destroyed the Dou Qi armor on the surface of their bodies. All three spat out mouthfuls of blood, losing their ability to fight.

Thousand Thunder Frenzy was a technique from the "Nine Heavens Thunder Technique," also considered a Dou Technique. It was a basic technique, roughly equivalent to a Xuan-rank high-grade Dou Technique.

Xiao Han knew that there would definitely be Inner Court elders monitoring the entire Fire Energy Hunt Competition. Therefore, to act more freely, she disguised herself as a Dou Spirit and used Dou Techniques. In the selection competition, when facing a group of Dou Master and two or three-star Dou Great Master from the Outer Court, she could still fight without using Dou Techniques, and those instructors wouldn't suspect her. But if she were to face a group of six or seven-star Dou Great Master and repel them in one move without using Dou Techniques, those elders might suspect her true strength.

So, Xiao Han suppressed her strength and used Thousand Thunder Frenzy, but she didn't fully unleash its power. Otherwise, with her strength, this Thousand Thunder Frenzy attack could have directly scattered these people's ashes.

Xiao Han's battle ended very quickly, but it was different on Gu Xun'er's side. Both she and Sha Tie were nine-star Dou Great Master, and Sha Tie, as an Inner Court senior, indeed had very rich combat experience. Although he couldn't compare to Gu Xun'er, who had received specialized training from Xiao Han, he was indeed the most formidable opponent Gu Xun'er had encountered so far. Of course, during the fight, Gu Xun'er didn't use any Heterogeneous Flames. Otherwise, the outcome of this match would have been meaningless.

Xiao Han had no intention of intervening. After confirming that those four had lost their ability to fight, she leaned against a tree with her arms folded, watching the two battle.

She didn't need to worry about Gu Xun'er losing at all. After her guidance and three years of hard training, even without using Heterogeneous Flames, Gu Xun'er could successfully challenge opponents above her level. Against opponents of the same level, she was nearly invincible.

Sha Tie felt himself becoming increasingly strained, while the girl opposite him remained vigorous and relaxed.

Gritting his teeth, he revealed a bitter smile. Where did this monster come from? Such young nine-star Dou Great Master and Dou Spirit—it would be a miracle if they could be defeated.

As the saying goes, the wise know when to retreat. Sha Tie, who had emerged from the brutal competition in the Inner Court, was naturally not an arrogant person. When he felt himself beginning to be at a disadvantage, he decisively admitted defeat.

Could he not admit defeat? Let alone whether he could beat this beautiful nine-star Dou Great Master girl, even if he were to use all his trump cards and luckily win, there was still a Dou Spirit watching like a tiger eyeing its prey. Apart from admitting defeat, what other choice did he have?!

Sha Tie felt stifled. Where did these abnormal new students come from? Were they really new students??

Seeing Sha Tie admit defeat, Gu Xun'er pouted somewhat boredly. She stopped her attack and lightly leaped back to Xiao Han's side.

"Fire energy," Xiao Han slightly raised her chin and said coldly.

Sha Tie felt bitter. His fire energy was all hard-earned from fighting in the Inner Court arena. Now having to hand it over, how could he be willing?

But a loss was a loss. What else could he do now except hand over the fire energy?

Sighing, Sha Tie, like a deflated rooster, dejectedly handed over his fire energy card. The others followed suit, painfully handing over their fire energy cards.

Xiao Han collected their fire energy cards, transferred the fire energy, then threw the cards back. She tossed the fire energy card, looking at the additional fire energy on it, and said to Gu Xun'er, "Let's go, find the next one."

"The White Sha team?" Gu Xun'er smiled obediently.

Xiao Han nodded, taking a final glance at the five people before turning and leaving with Gu Xun'er.

After the two left, the five members of the Black Sha team picked up their fire energy cards from the ground. Sha Tie laughed bitterly and said, "We really hit a snag this time. How are the new students this year so strong?"

"That was a Dou Spirit, you know. Looking at them, they shouldn't be more than twenty years old, right? Yet they've already reached the Dou Spirit level..." Another person sighed, extremely pained: "Our fire energy..."

The rest of his words got stuck in his throat. The person looked as if he had seen a ghost and exclaimed, "Hey, this fire energy..."

The others also lowered their heads to look at their fire energy cards. Upon seeing the balance, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Only twenty fire energy less..." Sha Tie was stunned for a moment. "They didn't take it all."

"I'm also only missing twenty..."

"Me too."

Although fire energy was precious in the Inner Court, and losing twenty would make them feel some pain, compared to losing everything, they were practically weeping with joy.

Moreover, as top students in the Inner Court, they originally had a large amount of fire energy. They didn't take this loss of twenty fire energy too much to heart.

Sha Tie let out a sigh of relief, his eyes even showing a hint of gratitude: "It seems these two Junior Sisters are not heartless people after all."
