Female Protagonist Assistance System

Chapter 67 : . This Path is Blocked

In the forest, Gu Xun'er leaned into Xiao Han's embrace, stretching her body and speaking in a light tone: "Senior Sister only took twenty from each of them. I thought you would take it all."

Xiao Han spoke softly: "We'll be seeing each other often as classmates in the future, and there's no deep grudge between us. In all things, it's better to leave some leeway."

In the original story, the reason why Xiao Yan and those new students faced strong rejection from the seniors as soon as they entered the Inner Court was not only because he counter-robbed the seniors during the Fire Energy Hunt Competition, making them lose face. The main reason was that he would mercilessly take all the seniors' fire energy each time.

New students who hadn't yet entered the Inner Court naturally wouldn't have the seniors' feeling of valuing fire energy as life itself. The five points of fire energy they held were obtained without any cost, so even if robbed, they wouldn't be too heartbroken or pained. But it was different for the seniors. They understood the importance of fire energy, and most of the fire energy in their possession was hard-earned. They cherished it greatly. If it were all taken by new students, they would definitely develop a hostile attitude towards the newcomers.

So along the way, every time Xiao Han defeated a team of seniors, she wouldn't be too ruthless. She would only take a portion of the seniors' fire energy and distribute it to the new students. Therefore, although the seniors were counter-robbed, they didn't have such strong emotions about it.

Moreover, if they acquired a large amount of fire energy before even entering the Inner Court, it might make the new students become lazy, or give them the misconception that fire energy was easy to obtain. Their future path in the Inner Court might be very difficult. That's why Xiao Han took this approach.

Stretching lazily, Xiao Han rested her chin on Gu Xun'er's shoulder, looking like a high and mighty cat.

Gu Xun'er raised her hand and gently poked Xiao Han's cheek. Xiao Han lazily glanced at her, not making any other reaction, instead narrowing her eyes, looking drowsy. Gu Xun'er even thought that if her Senior Sister had a tail, it might be wagging now.

So cute.

If others were here to see this scene, they would surely be so surprised their jaws would drop. In their eyes, Xiao Han was an unapproachable, cold-faced person that even acquaintances should keep their distance from. But now, facing Gu Xun'er, she had shed all her coldness, like a cat facing its owner, lying flat and allowing herself to be petted.

"Senior Sister, are we going to fight White Sha next?" Gu Xun'er yawned daintily, lying in Xiao Han's arms, playing with a lock of Xiao Han's hair that had fallen down, and asked.

Xiao Han thought for a moment and said: "White Sha is at the exit. There's no hurry."

Gu Xun'er was quite curious about how powerful Xiao Han's spiritual force was, to be able to cover such a large forest. But after thinking about it, she still didn't ask.

There was no need to ask about such things.

If the system knew about Gu Xun'er's question, it would definitely tell her earnestly that its host didn't have spiritual force, but divine sense. Although similar in function to spiritual force, there was still a big difference between the two. At least, spiritual force couldn't compare to divine sense. Divine sense was unique to cultivators, and only cultivators could cultivate it. Moreover, the strength of divine sense increased with the cultivator's cultivation level, unlike spiritual force, which was almost innate and had no cultivation method.

Just as Xiao Han was about to suggest resting here for a while, she suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation. She raised an eyebrow slightly and lowered her head to say to Gu Xun'er: "Let's go, Xiao Mei and the others have encountered trouble."

Gu Xun'er was somewhat surprised: "Trouble? With Wu Hao and Hu Jia's strength, unless they're up against Black and White Sha, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Xiao Han received the message transmitted by her divine sense and curled her lips somewhat helplessly: "They've moved quite fast."

Gu Xun'er was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning behind Xiao Han's words: "Senior Sister, do you mean that Hu Jia and the others have already reached the end and encountered White Sha?"

Xiao Han nodded, raising her hand to encircle Gu Xun'er's slender waist, and said: "Hold on tight."

Gu Xun'er raised her arms to wrap around Xiao Han's neck, pressing tightly against Xiao Han and burying her head in Xiao Han's neck.

The gentle, warm breath softly blowing on her neck suddenly made Xiao Han's ears turn slightly red. She felt as if there was a little cat in her heart, its paws scratching, making her heart itch intensely.

She turned her head slightly, coughing lightly. Fortunately, years of cultivation allowed her to maintain an icy, indifferent face under any circumstances, so Gu Xun'er didn't notice anything amiss.

Although using Dou Qi to form wings would be faster, it was too risky, especially since the Fire Energy Hunt Competition was under full monitoring by the Jia Nan Academy elders. Silver lightning flashed all over Xiao Han's body, and in the next instant, she transformed into a silver light, moving at extremely high speed towards Hu Jia and the others' location.

"This path is blocked." A man dressed all in white coldly looked at the fallen new students, his gaze icy cold.

Hu Jia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, narrowing her eyes slightly.

The White Sha team's strength was indeed terrifyingly powerful. Almost all members were eight or nine-star Dou Great Master. These new students, with at most five or six-star Dou Great Master among them, were no match at all.

She had already crushed the jade tablet Xiao Han had given her, but she didn't know if the other party had sensed it, or when they would be able to return.

"I heard that you new students have been robbing the seniors?" the White Sha team leader said coldly. "What's this? You haven't even entered the Inner Court and you're already so arrogant? What will it be like once you're in the Inner Court?"

Hu Jia sneered, not afraid of angering the White Sha team leader, and said: "When we entered the forest, we didn't hear that this Fire Energy Hunt Competition was only for seniors to hunt new students, and that new students couldn't resist."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, looking Hu Jia up and down. To Hu Jia's surprise, he didn't refute her, but instead nodded, seeming quite agreeable.

"When we were new students, we also resisted, but we were beaten like dogs..." The man looked at Hu Jia and the others, saying softly: "You're indeed quite good. If you hadn't encountered our Black and White Guan Sha, you might have really been able to get out smoothly... But I'm sorry, your resistance ends here."

Xiao Mei's heart tightened slightly. She pursed her lips and said: "How do you know that we're definitely the prey? And that you're the hunters?"

Hu Jia looked at Xiao Mei in surprise, meeting her gaze, and suddenly understood.

Xiao Mei was trying to buy time, waiting for Xiao Han to return.

The man glanced at them, the corner of his mouth curling into a somewhat stiff arc: "Are you trying to stall for time?"

Hearing this, everyone was greatly alarmed.

"These probably aren't all the new students, right?" The man looked into the distance, speaking slowly: "Just now, some new students have already handed over their fire energy and left."

He pointed behind him and said: "Right over there."

Hu Jia and Xiao Mei exchanged glances, shaking their heads.

It definitely couldn't be Xiao Han and Gu Xun'er. With Xiao Han's temperament, how could she willingly hand over fire energy? She wouldn't stop until she had beaten these people to a pulp.

"I remember, there were five people, two of whom were comparable to you in strength," he thought for a moment and said, "One called Xiao Yan, one called Bai Shan. That Bai Shan is even our boss's younger brother."

Hu Jia raised her chin slightly and said: "So what?"

The man continued: "You two."

He pointed at Hu Jia and Wu Hao, saying: "Plus Xiao Yan and Bai Shan who just passed through, should be the strongest among your new students this year, right? If so, what are you still waiting for?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking slowly, but his aura was steadily rising: "It's better to face reality early. Otherwise, although we can't kill in this Fire Energy Hunt Competition, we can still make you suffer quite a bit."

Hearing these words, the new students behind Hu Jia began to waver. They had already engaged with this White Sha team and were completely overpowered, with no chance of victory.

Hu Jia sneered and said: "Who told you that we and Bai Shan are the strongest?"

Hearing this, the man's expression finally changed, his eyes showing a hint of fanaticism. He licked his lips and said: "Oh? You're already six-star Dou Great Master. Could there be new students even stronger than you?"

Hu Jia said: "Anything is possible."

"So this is why you're stalling for time?" The man tilted his head slightly and said, "By telling me this now, are you reminding me to hurry up and deal with you?"

Hu Jia's pupils contracted slightly. She instinctively wanted to retreat, but the moment she moved, the man's right hand transformed into a claw, reaching for her.

The man's speed was very fast. Hu Jia was three full stars below him and couldn't dodge at all.

Just as the man's hand was about to touch Hu Jia, a silver light suddenly descended from the sky with lightning speed, thrusting into the ground between the two. In an instant, thunder crashed, and the powerful force directly repelled the man!

It was a long sword composed of lightning, entirely silver, with lightning coiling around it, emanating powerful energy.

The man was inwardly shocked. From the aura of this lightning-composed sword, he could tell that its owner was extremely strong.

At this moment, two slender figures descended from the sky, landing on the sword's hilt. One of them had a cold and powerful aura. She stood on one foot on the sword hilt, with a lotus-like young woman in her arms.

"Whether this path is blocked or not isn't for you to decide."
