Since Bai Shuanglian’s match was also over, Ling Xiaoyou naturally prepared to go find her.
After all, today’s match was only the Top Ten to Five Match. After finishing one match, she could leave directly, and the next match would have to wait until tomorrow.
Walking through the corridor, Ling Xiaoyou tossed the Rubik’s Cube-shaped spirit tool that she had used at the end of the match.
‘By the way, this spirit tool is pretty useful. It feels like letting the others split the resources while I take this spirit tool seems like I came out ahead.’
Ling Xiaoyou looked at the Rubik’s Cube-like spirit tool and thought this.
Correct, this spirit tool was the high-quality one given to Ling Xiaoyou and her group as a reward by Team Leader Lin after the Research Institute Incident.
This spirit tool had no name, and Ling Xiaoyou, seeing its Rubik’s Cube shape, named it “Imprint Dice.”
Although the name was simple and didn’t sound imposing at all, Ling Xiaoyou felt it fit the spirit tool perfectly.
Because the spirit tool’s effect was to imprint and store a person’s skills, spiritual power circulation, and fighting style. When the holder used it, those stored techniques could be copied into the body for short-term use.
‘Hmm, it’s like switching weapons or combat styles in a game.’
In short, it was very practical.
After all, in battle, a long-range character who could only shoot arrows or suppress with magic arts would suddenly pull out a longsword and use a few slashes of sword qi and some elegant sword techniques, catching the opponent off guard.
Ling Xiaoyou glanced at one face of the dice, which showed an ice-blue longsword icon, and murmured softly.
“Bai Shuanglian really trusts me, huh…”
After all, things involving the essence of a cultivator’s combat had to be handled with extreme caution. A slight carelessness could leak one’s weaknesses and combat preferences—very important information!
But Bai Shuanglian, after hearing Ling Xiaoyou’s explanation of its function, didn’t even wait for Ling Xiaoyou to say anything before automatically helping prepare this exclusive imprint.
When Ling Xiaoyou asked why, Bai Shuanglian only said:
“I hope that when you use a combat style that isn’t your own, you’ll use mine first.”
She only said this and didn’t mention anything about leaking information.
It wasn’t that Bai Shuanglian didn’t care about that information; it was that she trusted Ling Xiaoyou, trusted that Ling Xiaoyou would absolutely protect it.
That trust had deeply moved Ling Xiaoyou at the time, and she hugged Bai Shuanglian, nuzzling her for quite a while before stopping!
Her little mind recalled that scene of hugging and cuddling with Bai Shuanglian again, and Ling Xiaoyou couldn’t help blushing, thinking she might have been too impulsive.
Even if she used the excuse of being particularly close best friends, it was a bit hard to justify.
‘Hmm, it’s probably just because I was too emotional!’
‘That’s definitely it!’
Ling Xiaoyou emphasized in her mind like self-hypnosis, then shook her little head, quickly throwing all those messy thoughts out of her brain, deciding not to think about them.
Arriving at the Bai Family Lounge, Ling Xiaoyou was about to knock and call for Bai Shuanglian inside.
But as soon as she raised her little hand, the door was pulled open from inside.
And behind the door was Bai Shuanglian.
“Are you looking for me, Xiaoyou?”
Seeing Ling Xiaoyou outside, Bai Shuanglian was momentarily stunned, then a beautiful smile appeared as she asked.
“Of course I am. What else would I be doing?”
Ling Xiaoyou admitted it generously, without any embarrassment.
After all, the two were so familiar now. She wasn’t the little girl who would blush easily at Bai Shuanglian’s actions anymore!
She had grown up!
“I was just about to go find you too. Looks like we thought alike.”
Bai Shuanglian rubbed Ling Xiaoyou’s little head and said.
“Hmm…”
Enjoying Bai Shuanglian’s comfortable head rub for a while, Ling Xiaoyou raised her little head to look at Bai Shuanglian and said:
“So what are we going to do next?”
“Hmm, we can go check on Su Lihua, see how her elder sister’s battle is going.”
Bai Shuanglian thought for a moment and said.
Ling Xiaoyou nodded, naturally having no objections.
Soon, the two arrived at Su Taosheng’s rest chamber. Bai Shuanglian stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door quickly opened, and Su Lihua stuck her head out. Seeing it was Bai Shuanglian and Ling Xiaoyou, she said in surprise:
“Eh, you two are already done with your matches?”
As she spoke, she moved aside to let them in.
“Of course! The opponents weren’t that strong.”
Ling Xiaoyou walked toward the sofa, saying somewhat smugly.
Although she had relied on the spirit tool to win, the spiritual power used was all her own.
In a way, it counted as completely relying on herself to win.
“So did I.”
Bai Shuanglian nodded and said.
“That’s nice.”
Su Lihua sat down across from them and sighed lightly, saying:
“The opponent my elder sister met is really troublesome, perfectly countering her fighting style.”
“Oh? How much of a counter?”
Ling Xiaoyou became interested.
Could it be even more counter than what she had faced?
Su Lihua pointed at the light screen, signaling Ling Xiaoyou to see for herself.
“That mysterious, not even a rough explanation? I have to watch myself?”
Ling Xiaoyou raised an eyebrow, growing more curious.
She looked at the light screen with interest and saw a shocking scene.
On an island arena, Su Taosheng was locked in a difficult battle with her opponent!
Hmm, it was truly “locked in” in the literal sense.
Because her opponent wasn’t human.
This wasn’t Ling Xiaoyou trying to insult them with a derogatory term—the opponent really wasn’t human!
It was a slime-like opponent.
Its body writhed, coiled around Su Taosheng’s weapon, and some parts even seeped up from the ground, trying to entangle her ankles.
But Su Taosheng was completely wrapped in high-quality skirt armor. Before the slime could get close, its tentacles were corroded away.
Under Ling Xiaoyou’s gaze, Su Taosheng swung her Fangtian Huaji, coating the weapon with blood fiend qi, making it even sharper and indestructible.
But when it came into contact with the slime’s main body, the fiend qi was immediately devoured. The weapon got stuck in the gel-like body, making it hard to deal damage.
This left Su Taosheng stuck in a stalemate—she couldn’t deal damage, but the opponent couldn’t do anything to her either.
“Sigh, my elder sister’s opponent started off fine, but the more they fought, the more liquefied it became, ending up in this ghostlike state.”
Su Lihua sighed and explained.
“This… really is troublesome.”
Ling Xiaoyou glanced at the match and evaluated, not knowing what else to say.
