CHAPTER 563: 563 TRIAL

But Qi Yan was very agile. Although he couldn’t cause any harm to the Silver Moon Wolf, he could still dodge its attacks deftly.

Qi Hong watched from the side, thinking that this wasn’t working.

"Qi Wen, I’m going to join in too. I don’t believe that the two of us can’t handle them."

With Qi Hong’s addition, the battle situation changed, and they were now able to harm the Silver Moon Wolf’s body.

Qi Wen watched from the side, wondering if she should join and quickly eliminate the Silver Moon Wolf.

She remembered that their father had always instructed them to end any fight quickly.

The three siblings worked together, and their coordination became increasingly seamless. They finally killed the First Rank Silver Moon Wolf, but the three of them were in quite a disheveled state. They all had minor injuries, but nothing serious.

The three children held their swords, breathing heavily.

Tan Shaoting watched from afar. "What should you do now?"

Qi Yan waved his hand and put away the body of the Silver Moon Wolf.

He turned to leave, with Qi Hong and Qi Wen following behind him.

Tan Shaoting nodded and followed behind them. After walking a certain distance, the three stopped. They also had an array prepared by Tan Shaoting, so Qi Hong released the array, and the three siblings entered together.

Tan Shaoting waited outside.

He had instructed them before that after a battle, they must leave the scene quickly and then recover.

Because they didn’t know what other dangers might be present, they had to keep their bodies full of spiritual energy.

Tan Shaoting watched the three children and saw that their performance was satisfactory. He also activated another array outside the children’s array.

Those four people were already approaching them, so he first protected the young ones.

Now just waiting for them. I wonder if they’re rich? Those six people last time weren’t bad, seemed like they did a lot of robbing.

Tan Shaoting sat on the ground, meditating, not taking them seriously. Although he was only at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, his experience and Divine Sense were still enough to deal with them.

He knew the children were all watching him, so he couldn’t appear tense or indifferent, so he just continued this way.

The four surrounded him, looking at Tan Shaoting meditating by himself, not noticing the three children.

They didn’t care; after all, the three children appeared to be at the Qi Refining First Layer.

Tan Shaoting stood up, "Fellow Daoists, what’s the matter?"

"Our brothers followed you out last time and didn’t return."

Tan Shaoting remained expressionless, "What does that have to do with me?"

"Second Brother, stop talking. Just handle it directly, won’t that settle it? You really overestimate him, with just this cultivation?"

The other three said nothing, clearly thinking the same.

Tan Shaoting wasn’t afraid of this; the more they underestimated him, the more advantageous it was for him.

"Let me do it," the one who spoke arrogantly said. He was already at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer Middle Stage, so he looked down on Tan Shaoting.

This person looked big and burly, but he might not be good at close combat, so he cast a Fireball Technique.

It seemed he had a Fire Spirit Root. Tan Shaoting wasn’t in a hurry this time, using the Fireball Technique as well, so the children could learn. They hadn’t used spells yet, but soon they would. Once they reached the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, they would learn spells.

However, he was worried that they didn’t have a Thunder Spirit Root cultivation technique.

Despite the two-level difference, Tan Shaoting was much more proficient in the Fireball Technique, demonstrating a clear gap.

Tan Shaoting sparred with him but within limits, as there were still three others, including one at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection.

The three children in the array watched intently.

"Daddy will win."

After Tan Shaoting dealt with this one, the expressions of the other three became much more serious. They had indeed underestimated him.

"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you go together," the one at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection instructed. He didn’t feel there was anything wrong with this.

Why follow martial ethics? As long as you can eliminate this person, that’s all that matters.

Tan Shaoting wasn’t fazed at all; even if all three came at him, it would just take more time.

This time he didn’t use spells but a sword. In his past life, he was a Sword Cultivator, so it didn’t take long for the two.

"Daddy’s swordsmanship is amazing. I want to be like that too," Qi Wen said enviously.

Qi Hong and Qi Yan also nodded, indeed very impressive. Daddy had once said that with hard work and practice, anyone could become like this.

Now only the one at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection was left, and he had observed Tan Shaoting, knowing that close combat was not an option, so he took out his magic artifact, the Fire-tipped Spear. It seemed his Fire Spirit Root was the best.

Tan Shaoting still used his sword; for him, as a Sword Cultivator for life, the sword was everything.

The Fire-tipped Spear from a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection cultivator was quite long, which was advantageous.

But in terms of combat experience, he was greatly lacking.

Though it took some time, Tan Shaoting still finished him off, taking their storage bags in hand and burning them with a fire.

His spiritual power was also insufficient, so he went directly into the array.

The three children ran over, looking up at him.

"It’s alright, Daddy will meditate for a while to recover spiritual power."

Tan Shaoting, wary of any danger, drank a cup of Spiritual Spring Water, which helped him recover much faster.

He meditated for just an hour, then got up and took the three children to another place.

Again they worked together, this time against Gale Rabbits, which were very fast, so they inevitably got hurt.

What comforted Tan Shaoting was that the kids were getting injured less and less, already able to avoid the Gale Rabbit’s attacks.

By evening, they had defeated five Gale Rabbits.

Tan Shaoting grilled meat for them, each having a bowl of spirit rice porridge.

Today, they rested directly in the wild.

The three children meditated, sitting on cushions they could lie down on when tired to sleep.

Tan Shaoting was also cultivating and reminded the children because he felt he could break through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer tonight.

In the middle of the night, the howl of wolves startled the three children.

But they knew that Father was advancing, so the three siblings just huddled together.

They didn’t dare make a sound, fearing it would affect their father.

After Tan Shaoting completed two large cycles and opened his eyes, he saw the three huddled together, not sleeping but observing the outside situation.

Tan Shaoting felt immense pride in his children.

"Qi Yan, Qi Hong, Qi Wen, Daddy has advanced."

Only then did the three children run over, leaning against him.

"Alright, now you can sleep. Everything’s under control with me here."

The three children relaxed as Tan Shaoting picked them up, letting them lean against his thighs to sleep.

The children were still too young; eating and sleeping were essential.
