Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 105: Bad Luck

“Hurry and retreat, Yang Wei,” Elder Jing screamed as she leaped upward to a tree branch.

Yang Wei didn’t delay further as he followed right behind Elder Jing and stood next to her.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing continued to glance at the Hellflame Tiger’s action before grabbing Yang Wei’s hand to back off.

“What’s happening?” Yang Wei asked when they retreated more than 50 kilometers.

Elder Jing turned around to check if the Hellflame Tiger was chasing after them before heaving a sigh of relief when she couldn’t see it nearby.

Afterward, she released Yang Wei’s hand as she said, “The Hellflame Tiger was a full-grown magical beast. I’ve miscalculated and never would have thought that Senior Zhong Guowei is a goddamn bastard.”

“F-Full-grown magical beast?” Yang Wei stuttered as he didn’t understand the difference between a normal magical beast and a full-grown magical beast.

After all, they are all magical beasts in the end and only their body structure and cultivation realm would be different.

Elder Jing looked at Yang Wei with an irritated expression. “Your knowledge is really terrible in the cultivation world. Just what are you going to do when you are out in the world alone without anyone telling you information.”

Yang Wei scratched his head as he was embarrassed about this point as well.

It wasn’t that he wanted to be uneducated but he never got the time to study when there were practically no resources for him to do so.

‘I tried to study in the library back in the village as well but the information there has nothing regarding the cultivation world,’ Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he got scolded by Elder Jing in anger.

“A full-grown magical beast is different because they learned more techniques and Flame Burst is one of the deadliest techniques that a Hellflame Tiger can learn.” Elder Jing said and continued.

“If it weren’t for our low cultivation base then we wouldn’t have needed to retreat swiftly since we can combine our barrier together to block off one area of the full blast.”

Yang Wei became dumbfounded and wondered why Senior Zhong Guowei would spawn this kind of magical beast for them.

‘C-Could it be that Senior Zhong Guowei wants us to fail the trial from the beginning?’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly.

“Sigh, at this rate, the trial can be considered a failure,” Elder Jing said with a bittersweet tone.

“Elder Jing, what happens if we fail the trial?” Yang Wei asked.

Elder Jing looked at Yang Wei for a good few minutes before telling him the truth. “If we failed the trial then we would most likely be kicked out of the Pagoda because it will deem us unworthy to even get a shot to obtain the inheritance or even the pagoda itself.”

“S-Such a cruel and unfair method,” Yang Wei shouted with a disbelieving expression.

They had already done their best to try and pass the trial but the Hellflame Tiger was way too strong and their cultivation base was restricted.

It was like the Pagoda and Senior Zhong Guowei himself wanted them to quickly leave the Pagoda without getting a chance to obtain the inheritance.

“E-Elder Jing… shall I summon Xiao Wei?” Yang Wei took a deep breath as he suggested using his battle spirit to confront the Hellflame Tiger.

“Xiao Wei huh… a battle spirit against a full-grown Hellflame Tiger,” Elder Jing rubbed her chin slightly as she walked around in a circle to think.

Sometime later, Elder Jing stared at Yang Wei with a solemn expression.

“Are you really willing to use your battle spirit even if it means revealing your trump card?” Elder Jing asked.

Yang Wei nodded his head quickly and clenched his fist with a confident demeanor.

“Since we’re on the verge of failing the trial already then why not give it our best effort. At least, that way we can be proud of ourselves because we did everything we could even if it meant failing.” Yang Wei exclaimed loudly, shocking Elder Jing with his resolve.

“Heh, you’re probably right about that Yang Wei. Since this is the only way to possibly kill the Hellflame Tiger because I have already been marked by him. Therefore, I can no longer have an opportunity to sneak attack him like before.” Elder Jing explained.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei twitched his brow slightly as he talked too quickly without realizing the Hellflame Tiger’s capability.

“E-Elder Jing… if the Hellflame Tiger can mark your presence then wouldn’t that mean the Hellflame Tiger is catching up to us already,” Yang Wei asked nervously.

They are currently hiding in a camouflaged area to not be seen by the Hellflame Tiger but if it has markings on them then hiding wouldn’t be able to do much.

Elder Jing didn’t say anything as she shrugged her shoulders, proving Yang Wei’s word indirectly to be correct.

Yang Wei turned ashen as he wasn’t expecting to fight him so soon since the side-effect of the Speed Enhancing pill has already begun.

The Speed Enhancing pill could increase the agility of a cultivator for at least 15 minutes but once that timer is gone, they would be weakened for the next 10 minutes or so to recover their true qi.

“What bad luck we have,” Yang Wei said as he retrieved his sword out again.

Afterward, he turned around and faced the direction where the Hellflame Tiger would most likely show up from.

Elder Jing didn’t bother hiding this time around as she retrieved her sword as well, standing next to Yang Wei.

Elder Jing uses this time to tell Yang Wei what to do when their second fight begins while waiting for the appearance of the Hellflame Tiger.

Yang Wei paid full attention to Elder Jing on what his duty was and Elder Jing made sure he understood everything on what to do with Xiao Wei.

Sometime later, a loud rumbling sound could be heard and it was none other than the Hellflame Tiger running rapidly toward Elder Jing and Yang Wei.

“Get ready for a difficult fight, Yang Wei. I would do my best to distract it since I’m more dangerous in his eyes.” Elder Jing shouted as she dashed forward to meet the Hellflame Tiger head-on.
