I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

But then again, Xu Xiaoshou thought he couldn’t expect too much.

The Ten High Nobles and the Sister of the Ten High Nobles were two entirely separate titles.

Putting aside her brother Dao Qiongcang’s brilliance, Dao Xuanji had only barely reached the position of the Three Emperors, and that only after Yan Wuse’s death.

Compared to an ordinary demi-saint, like Jiang Buyi, she might have some advantages.

In such a situation, it was too much to compare her with the peak combat strength of the current era!

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the three Saints, Elder Yu, Zhong Yuanzi, and Fang Wenxin, and felt that any one of them could easily defeat Dao Xuanji in battle.

As for Ye Xiaotian and Mei Siren, there was no need for comparison.

Some people were only fit to stay behind the scenes because they would die under the spotlight!

“I overestimated you.”

On the ghostly energy throne, Xu Xiaoshou watched Dao Xuanji suffering under the assault of a demonic aura, struggling and on the brink of death.

He smirked and mocked, “I overestimated you by more than one measure!”

“I originally thought that with Dao Qiongcang as the standard, even if his sister was not as good, she wouldn’t be too far off.”

“Who would have thought that after her bother’s brilliance, she turned out to be just a… well.”

Glancing at Yu Zhiwen in Jade Capital City, Xu Xiaoshou held back the rest of his comment, feeling that further taunting was unnecessary after the battle.

Although belittling the enemy did lower his status, it was better to maintain some decorum.

“You’re not bad.”

Xu Xiaoshou forced a smile, considering Yu Zhiwen’s presence.

Puff!

Dao Xuanji felt nothing from the insults, but when he heard the praise, he spat out blood.

“Glared At, Passive Points +1.”

“Locked-on, Passive Points +1.”

Jade-gold Holy Blood splattered across the sky, ignited by white flames and drained by the Dragon Apricot branches hanging down from above.

Xu Xiaoshou was too meticulous.

He would not make any mistakes and would not let Dao Xuanji survive in any way.

Now that the enemy was not as strong as he had imagined, Xu Xiaoshou relaxed and his mind began to clear.

“Dao Xuanji, I have a question…”

…

In Jade Capital City, Yu Zhiwen stared blankly at the sky.

Last time, when Xu Xiaoshou had her Supreme Master slain, she activated the Dragon Melting Realm and covered her eyes.

Yu Zhiwen understood his intent.

Most likely, he did not want to put her in a difficult position.

This time, when Xu Xiaoshou had her Supreme Master slain before her and with no concealment, Yu Zhiwen knew exactly what he was signaling.

The situation had already been determined!

The Struggle for the Great Path would only intensify!

Since Xu Xiaoshou had declared, “Every time I see you, I will kill you,” it was clear that she and her Supreme Master could no longer coexist.

What remained was to face reality and uphold his stance.

Others cannot be expected to always understand these matters, and one should not be a self-deceiver who was forever kept in the dark.

“Supreme Master…”

Yu Zhiwen stared blankly at the figure in the sky.

That figure, covered in devilish energy and dripping with Holy Blood.

Tears were already glistening in her eyes. Despite her dislike for his Supreme Master’s personality and the immense pressure her Supreme Master had put on her… in the end, she was still her Supreme Master! ɽäNՕᛒÊś

She had raised Yu Zhiwen from a young age, taught her the Divine Secret, and guided her life’s direction.

But…

Could she blame Xu Xiaoshou for this?

Under such immense pressure, two extremes were bound to emerge!

Dao Xuanji failed to make Yu Zhiwen as heartless as she was. On the contrary, her disciple went to the opposite extreme.

Yu Zhiwen’s sympathy was overwhelming.

Just by seeing her Supreme Master’s current suffering, she could feel the same pain Xu Xiaoshou had endured in the Eight Palaces that day!

One was pierced by a sword, the other by an arrow.

One was tainted by demonic aura, the other by the power of evil.

The outcome was the same. Both Supreme Masters were powerless to resist and could only be slaughtered.

Elder Sang was also Xu Xiaoshou’s Supreme Master!

How much effort had Xu Xiaoshou put in to reach this point? It was evident to all.

“The Struggle for the Great Path…”

Hallmaster Dao, Supreme Master, Grandpa Yu, and the various seniors in the Path Division spoke extensively, but Yu Zhiwen felt that their words were very distant.

Experiencing it firsthand today, she finally understood why everyone said the Struggle for the Great Path was brutal and the battle for the robbing path was bloody.

Different positions, different paths, different defenders…

Those who achieve their goals were never delicate flowers nurtured in a greenhouse. They were always those who had fought through bloody storms and licked blood from their blades!

Yu Zhiwen had been protected too well.

Her life had been full of tests and training.

From Dongtinawang City to the Yunlun Mountain Range, from the Four Symbols Secret Realm to Qingyuan Mountain…

Even when taking on a significant role as the Chief of the Path Division, she felt independent and mature.

Everything she did, under the arrangements of the Hallmaster Dao, avoided confrontation and minimal impact.

Even setting up an array on Qingyuan Mountain seemed pointless and unclear in purpose. It might not have even needed her involvement. It was perhaps just to give people a sense of participation…

What kind of impact could she have received?

Now that the protective umbrella of the great tree had been removed, and with Hallmaster Dao gone, Yu Zhiwen had to face this bloody world directly.

The overwhelming shock shattered her psychological defenses again and again, with no one to shield her eyes or block the impact.

Thus, the floodwaters that had been dammed up for half a lifetime surged forth like a burst dam.

She felt like rootless duckweed, instantly swaying and shattering.

Drowning, suffocation, depression, collapse… all sorts of emotions and mixed feelings came flooding in.

Yu Zhiwen’s vision blurred, and she staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground.

“What’s wrong?”

Elder Yu appeared with a swoosh, catching his dazed great-granddaughter just in time. When he looked up and saw the confrontation between Dao Xuanji and Xu Xiaoshou, he began to understand.
