Luo Xiaowei worried unnecessarily. His performance just now had already sent the people outside into a frenzy!
Chu Yang even felt nervous for him, because Luo Xiaowei had charged headfirst against a Beast of Earth, which was a whole major realm stronger than him.
If this Awei died, Chu Yang would genuinely feel a pang of sadness.
However, he never expected that Luo Xiaowei not only dared to fight, but he also won!
The moment he pierced the heart of the Beast of Earth, thunderous cheers erupted from the scene.
Some people couldn't hold back their emotions and were moved to tears.
People liked to watch these geniuses perform because these geniuses possessed talents and abilities that they themselves lacked. Watching them perform was akin to watching the protagonist of a power fantasy novel.
But what truly resonated most was not these exceptionally gifted geniuses, but ordinary people like Zhang Xiaohu and Luo Xiaowei, who only had mediocre or lower aptitude.
Fate set different starting points for everyone, but before reaching the finish line, who could definitively say whether you were a nobody or a dark horse?
Luo Xiaowei gave everyone a surprise. He had no special physique, no special bloodline, and no top-tier aptitude, yet he managed to kill a demonic beast a major realm stronger than him!
Although, as a sword cultivator, much of his earlier fight involved rolling on the ground, and his swordsmanship was completely unorganized and far from graceful.
But so what? Winning was the epitome of coolness!
"Ya Le Ma! I am iwei! I am so proud!"
"Who says mediocre aptitude can't compete for rankings? Brother Wei is really bringing honor to us!"
"This got my blood boiling, damn it! When does the next trial start? I want to sign up!"
"Brother Wei is awesome!"
"Who are you calling Brother Wei? From now on, we call him God Wei!"
"......"
Just when everyone thought the Beast of Earth was dead, it actually crawled towards the exhausted Luo Xiaowei.
Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats again.
If he were to be killed in a mutual exchange at the very end, they would not be able to accept it!
Wang Zhicheng and a host of other military bigwigs also held their breath. They liked every genius in the trial, and they also liked fierce fighters like Luo Xiaowei who dared to fight.
They did not want to see any trial participant perish in the secret realm.
If Luo Xiaowei, who had just shown off his prowess, were to die like this, they would be so upset they wouldn't be able to sleep at night!
As everyone couldn't bear to watch, they saw a little loli, who wielded a sniper rifle like a club, rushing to the Beast of Earth while crying out loudly, smashing down fiercely!
The people present collectively gasped. They watched with wide eyes as the giant brown bear was hammered by Qin Xiaoxiao, stick after stick, until it was turned into an ice sculpture, and then shattered into ice shards.
For some reason, everyone felt a little sorry for the Beast of Earth that couldn't even leave a complete corpse.
"This... does anyone know lip-reading? What has the little loli been shouting?"
"Uh... it seems like 'So scary,' 'I'll beat you to death,' 'Don't be afraid of you'..."
"So ferocious! Damn it, my Brother Wei's solo kill achievement is gone!"
"Why is our Brother Wei so dejected? He probably also wants to know why he got so seriously injured..."
Chu Yang's lips twitched slightly. This Qin Xiaoxiao was indeed the one they should worry about the most.
Although she was only at the mid-Qi Refining stage, with the advantage of her physique and cultivation technique, Luo Xiaowei would still be at a disadvantage in a real fight.
However, this personality of hers needed to be overcome. Otherwise, what a loss of face it would be to have an Immortal Emperor who cried and wailed when encountering the Fiend Clan in the future!
But speaking of which, looking at it now, the first battle that surprised him the most in the secret realm was actually Wang Teng and Luo Xiaowei, who usually appeared the most flippant.
If he were to believe that these two hadn't been secretly competing, he would be a fool.
From what Luo Xiaowei had shown just now, he at least knew how to control flying swords.
Chu Yang sighed again, muttering to himself, "Everyone is secretly competing. Those who thought they were slacking off and followed suit will suffer a great loss..."
Some people played games with you, ate and drank with you, and told you they weren't studying and were slacking off. But when the exams came, they would show you papers with nearly full marks and say to you, who had failed, "Oh my, I was so lucky, I guessed everything right!"
Little did they know, these scoundrels were secretly reading books under the covers with a flashlight while you were sleeping!
......
Luo Xiaowei was seriously injured, and he basically had no combat power for the entire day.
If he could meet Li Qingyun, perhaps he could use his wood-elemental life energy to heal his injuries. But the demon spirit realm was so vast, and he didn't know where Li Qingyun had gone. Perhaps he had gone deeper into the forest.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaowei felt a sense of urgency. Even with his injuries, he had to continue fighting tomorrow.
He looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to him, afraid to speak, and asked, "What are your plans?"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked up blankly, then shook her head: "No... no plans!"
She was now feeling extremely guilty. If she had helped Luo Xiaowei fight the bear together just now, he wouldn't have been so severely injured.
Luo Xiaowei not scolding her made her feel uneasy all over.
Luo Xiaowei, however, asked tentatively, "My injury might require a long time to recuperate, and it will waste an entire day. If you feel it's a waste of time, you can try hunting demonic beasts on your own. This area basically has no Tier 2 demonic beasts. That bear was a complete accident. There won't be any problems going out."
Qin Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and she clenched her fist, saying, "Are you looking down on me as a burden?"
Luo Xiaowei's mouth twitched. Where were you a burden? You could smash a giant bear to pieces with an ice lolly!
"How could that be? You are very strong, okay? You can actually kill ordinary Tier 2 demonic beasts with ease..."
"Then why are you asking me to leave?"
Luo Xiaowei: "???"
He really wanted to say, when did I ask you to leave?
"Isn't it because I'm afraid of dragging down your points-earning?"
Qin Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said unhappily, "Who wants to earn points?"
"Then you want to keep following me? I might be a burden..."
"Shut up! I'm following you because you got injured saving me earlier, I'm afraid you'll die!"
Luo Xiaowei gave a few awkward laughs. He hadn't actually charged forward to save Qin Xiaoxiao; it was mainly to show off.
Silence fell between them for a moment, and Luo Xiaowei fell into thought.
Seeing Luo Xiaowei silent, Qin Xiaoxiao asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Luo Xiaowei glanced around, frowning, and said, "I'm thinking about how we should spend tonight. This world is not peaceful at night..."
