Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 525 Mayfly Steps, A Small Test of Skill

Once the Hundred-Day Su was obtained, Rong Shu immediately began refining an antidote.

After Duan Yuyan and the others had taken the antidote and recovered, they finally had time to ask about Rong Shu's situation inside the Time Tower.

"You've been in the Time Tower for twenty years, what have you gained?"

"I've heard that people with bad luck can stay in the Time Tower for a long time and still gain nothing."

"The Time Tower had some problems before, and many people were expelled from it. Rong Shu, how come you weren't kicked out? What's going on inside the tower?"

Rong Shu was taken aback: "What's wrong with the Time Tower?" She hadn't noticed.

At first, Rong Shu could calculate the passage of time inside the Time Tower, but later he became obsessed with cultivating by following the silhouettes of time, and gradually his concept of time became blurred.

Rong Shu was also unsure how long he had been in the Time Tower.

The flow of time in the Time Tower is different from that in the outside world. On the surface, she has been cultivating in the Time Tower for twenty years, but in reality, she may have already spent fifty, one hundred, two hundred years... or even longer.

Finally, through the piecemeal efforts of Duan Yuyan and the others, Rong Shu learned the whole story.

The Time Tower is trembling strangely?

They exclude students who cultivate inside the tower? And they don't allow anyone else to enter?

Uh...it probably has nothing to do with her, right?

The Time Tower is still there and perfectly fine, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Duan Yuyan: "Rong Shu, were you affected while you were inside? You didn't get any opportunities at all, did you?"

Rong Shu smiled, revealing her teeth, her smile innocent: "Guess?"

Duan Yuyan immediately understood and turned to the others to complain, "If they're so smug, they must have something."

"What is it?"

What did you gain from the Tower of Time?

“It’s nothing, it’s just…” Rong Shu’s eyes flickered slightly as he suggested, “How about this, let’s have a proper spar. Just talking about it won’t make a difference in a short time.”

Duan Yuyan was the first to object: "You're bullying us! You're already at the Nascent Soul stage, yet you're bullying us little shrimps who haven't even broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet."

Upon hearing this, Rong Shu frowned and sighed, seemingly helpless: "Then how about this, I won't fight back. If you can hit me within half an hour, I'll consider it a loss."

"You really aren't going to fight back?"

"It really couldn't be truer."

"No, I feel like there's something fishy going on here." Duan Yuyan looked Rong Shu up and down, feeling that something was off.

Does Rong Shu seem like such a foolish person?

Not fight back? Just take the beating?

She's not like that brute Feng Qianli!

Moreover, even a fool like Feng Mangfu wouldn't be that stupid, let alone Rong Shu, who has eight hundred cunning schemes.

Duan Yuyan said suspiciously, "You're not planning to use an array or some kind of magic talisman to run away, are you? If you do that, we probably won't even be able to touch the hem of your clothes."

“That’s right, Rong Shu, you can’t use magic treasures like arrays and talismans. Your senior brothers and sisters from Zhanming Mountain have given you so many good treasures.”

"We can't use magic weapons; if we do, it's unfair!"

Duan Yuyan and the others huddled together and whispered among themselves, eventually concluding that Rong Shu had ill intentions and was definitely up to something.

Seeing this, Rong Shu nodded indifferently: "Okay, I don't need it." Anyway, she didn't plan to use it.

Lu Zhuo continued, "Also, the area you can move in is limited to the inner mountain area; you cannot leave this area."

Rong Shu readily agreed, "Okay."

"Old Duan, do you have anything to add?"

"External forces such as beast pets, or seeking help from other cultivators, are all prohibited. All external forces are forbidden!" Duan Yuyan immediately added, thinking of Rong Shu's little white tiger.

If he remembered correctly, the little white tiger had used its innate supernatural ability, "Divine Speed," at the Heroes' Gathering. Just from the name, one could tell it was a supernatural ability that allowed one to run fast.

Rong Shu: "Okay, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Duan Yuyan and the other four exchanged glances, then all looked at Rong Shu:

"That's all... Begin!"

Before he finished speaking, Feng Qianli and Xing Xue took the initiative to attack, flanking him from the left and right.

Lu Zhuo and Si Chenbi were responsible for blocking Rong Shu's escape routes and space from all directions.

This time, Duan Yuyan didn't hide in front of others. Instead, she carried the tattered fortune-telling sign and stood in front of Si Chenbi to prevent Rong Shu from attacking Si Chenbi first.

The reaction is faster with sparse filtration.

She had anticipated their sudden attack, and with unhurried steps, she first activated the [Soaring Nine Thousand Miles] movement technique, hiding from the first wave of attacks from Feng Qianli and Xing Xue.

Wow!

She looked up and saw the sky shimmering with golden light, and a rain of swords falling from the sky, dazzling and magnificent.

"...Hiss." Rong Shu was almost blinded by the light. He quickly looked down and put on his goggles. When he looked up, he was dodging the rain of flying swords while cursing, "...You have no martial ethics, and you even resort to sneak attacks!"

"What sneak attack? We clearly shouted 'Start!'"

"Exactly, can you blame us for being slow to react?"

"Xing Xue, quickly use your supernatural powers to restrain her!"

Xing Xue remained silent, only unleashing the [Extreme Cold Eternal Prison] technique. In an instant, the ground froze, and even the water vapor in the air instantly turned into frost.

Snowflakes drifted down, like fallen petals in spring, a beautiful scene, yet fraught with hidden danger.

Each snowflake contains a trace of extremely cold sword energy.

"Senior Sister Xing Xue's supernatural abilities have improved even more. Who could tell that she's just a Nascent Soul cultivator?" Even though Lu Zhuo wasn't in the center of the attack range, he could still feel the chill spreading through the air.

"Well done!"

Rong Shu witnessed an extremely beautiful 'ice and snow fireworks' exploding before her eyes, and her footsteps became increasingly strange and unpredictable.

Despite the snowflakes falling heavily, Rong Shu's every move cleverly avoided all the falling snowflakes.

[The mayfly's third step: After accomplishing its task, it dusts off its clothes and departs, without a single leaf clinging to its body]

Xing Xue and the others were all astonished when they saw this scene.

Feng Qianli's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Rong Shu doesn't even need to use spiritual energy to protect himself?"

Lu Zhuo: "You can even stay completely dry without a single snowflake getting on you?"

The two exchanged a glance and immediately quickened their pace.

"Xing Xue, Rong Shu is provoking you; she looks down on you!" Duan Yuyan blatantly stirred up trouble.

Rong Shu swept his brows and channeled his power into his palm, sending a gust of wind carrying his palm force towards the talkative Duan Yuyan.

"Ahhh! Shenbi, save me!" Duan Yuyan darted behind Si Shenbi.

Si Chenbi focused his attention to prepare for the attack, but the seemingly fierce palm wind dissipated on its own after drifting ten feet away, disappearing without a trace.

Duan Yuyan, who had been crouching down with her head in her hands, came to her senses and immediately jumped up and yelled, "Rong Shu, you cheated! You fouled! You attacked me!"

Rong Shu raised an eyebrow: "Really? Where did I hit you? Little Duan, you were scared out of your wits by a gust of wind, how can you blame me?"

Duan Yuyan: “…”

Half an hour is neither a long nor a short time.

Despite Xing Xue and the others using all their methods, Rong Shu was like an elusive wind, unable to restrain her movements, let alone harm her in the slightest.

Half an hour later, Rong Shu stopped, and Duan Yuyan cursed, "What exactly is your second movement technique? How come you're running so fast? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated...?"

“That’s not a movement technique.” Rong Shu chuckled and tilted his head slightly. “That’s the second divine ability I just comprehended in the Tower of Time.”

"Wow!"

"unbelievable."

"Too cruel!"

Exclamations rose and fell, but Rong Shu remained calm, suppressing the smile on her lips. She waved her hand casually, "It's nothing, just fast running, nothing offensive. Sigh~ When will I be able to comprehend an offensive divine ability like Xing Xue's?"

Rong Shu recalled that the "Soldier" and "Fight" seals in the Nine Syllable Mantra seemed to be among the most offensive supernatural powers.

She was quite looking forward to the day when she would comprehend these two supernatural powers and be able to personally demonstrate their power, just like the phantom she saw in the Tower of Time.

"I'm not playing anymore... I can't play even a little bit!"

"We're breaking up! We're breaking up!"

"No, I've learned some other skills..." Rong Shu learned quite a few skills by following the silhouettes of time inside the Time Tower, and now that he's out, he's thinking of testing his progress.

"I'm done playing, I'm too tired." Lu Zhuo fanned himself vigorously with his fan. "This is even more tiring than being chased by the Taotie Heavenly Dog..."

Feng Qianli was also rendered speechless by being outmaneuvered: "Unless you don't use your second supernatural power, it's pointless to fight you if I can't hit you. Or I can wait until I reach the Nascent Soul stage before we fight."

Xing Xue nodded silently in agreement.

They were both martial arts fanatics, but not reckless fools or idiots; this is what is meant by "a wise man knows when to yield."

Rong Shu looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was willing to compete with her, she sighed in disappointment. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the entrance of the inner mountain cave, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.

Uchiyama...

There are also many students.

Rong Shu smiled and looked at his friends: "How about this, we go find some 'kind people' who are willing to spar with us, shall we?"

"A kind person? How do I find them?"

Rong Shu pointed at Uchiyama: "Let's go to Uchiyama and challenge them! Let's smash their place! Let's seize their territory!"
