CHAPTER 835: CHAPTER 835: BLOCK HER BREAKTHROUGH

"You guys..." The beast narrowed its eyes.

Baishe ignored the beast and focused his attention on Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng recently broke through into a Low Rank Cold Core Realm cultivator. It would not be too good for her if she broke through again in a short time.

Baishe made the decision to block Bai Xifeng’s breakthrough. He rushed to Bai Xifeng’s side despite the pain. He tapped the point on Bai Xifeng’s back and channelled his energy into Bai Xifeng’s body to calm down the tribulation inside Bai Xifeng’s body.

The Qi inside Bai Xifeng’s body finally calmed down, and she did not break through. She lost her consciousness. Baishe knew that she would wake up later.

Baishe turned to Heishe and the beast. They already fought. He sighed.

"Stop!" Baishe shouted.

The two of them froze.

"Are you trying to kill Xifeng?" Baishe asked.

"Of course not! I just taught him a lesson. How dare he perform the contract ritual with Xifeng? He should ask Xifeng if she is willing to be with him." Heishe pointed at the beast.

"Humph! You are the one talking." Baishe said.

"What?" Heishe hissed.

"You were also the same," Baishe stated.

"I am different," Heishe said.

"What a double standard," Baishe said. "Well, it depends on Xifeng whether she can keep him."

"But he is one of the four perils," Heishe said.

"Let’s wait for Xifeng to wake up," Baishe said while glancing at the beast.

...

"What? The seal had broken?" One of the people in the hall stood up in shock when they heard the news.

"Yes. We had confirmed it." The person who knelt down nodded.

They rushed to the observation room to see the situation in the small world.

"How can this happen in the middle of the test?"

"How about the small world?"

"It looks like it is shaking. Look... The dark cloud appears. The Qi rushed in that direction. It tried to absorb the Qi."

"Should we stop the test and take the kid out?"

"How? We can not interfere with the small world. Due to the last incident about interfering with the test, the principal used his power to prevent others from doing anything in the small world while the kids are taking the test. We just need to wait until the test ends."

"How long will it take for this test to end?"

"We still have one hour and 46 minutes."

"Then, let’s wait."

...

Bai Xifeng finally woke up. She checked her body. No burn clothes.

"I am safe?" Bai Xifeng was confused.

"Safe from what?"

"From the lightning." Bai Xifeng answered immediately without thinking.

She turned around to the source of the voice and was surprised to see Baishe and Heishe out.

"What are you doing out here?" Bai Xifeng asked in confusion.

"Prevent you from breaking through," Baishe said.

"Huh? Why? It is a good thing to break through." Bai Xifeng tilted her head.

"It is indeed a good thing, but it is not a good thing if you break through in a short period. It might be fine before, but you should have a gap while breaking through from now on." Baishe stated.

"I see... I will control it." Bai Xifeng nodded. Then she remembered something. "Baishe, I think I got another contracted beast. Contracting the beast makes my Qi reach the bottleneck. Where is it?"

"He is over there." Baishe pointed at the beast.

The beast had already changed into a furry creature, the form that Bai Xifeng saw earlier when they first met, but in a small version.

"Why does the beast seem to ignore me and perform the contract ritual themselves?" Bai Xifeng sighed. "Never mind... Well, what kind of beast are you?"

"Xifeng, let’s throw him away. He is no good." Heishe said.

"Huh? Why?" Bai Xifeng said.

"He is Taotie, Xifeng... Taotie." Heishe spoke.

"Taotie?" Bai Xifeng tilted her head.

"Xifeng, don’t tell me that you don’t know about Taotie?" Heishe was shocked.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Taotie is one of the four perils, embodying the darker aspects of human nature and threatening the balance of the world. It is known for its insatiable appetite. It can eat literally anything." Baishe explained.

"Oh..." Bai Xifeng blinked multiple times while listening to Baishe’s explanation.

"That look... You seem not to grasp the situation." Baishe said.

"Well..." Bai Xifeng just grinned. Well, she indeed did not understand that.

"It can destroy the world if it wants," Baishe said.

"Oh... Then, we just need to prevent him from doing so." Bai Xifeng said.

Baishe and Heishe were speechless. This was the first time they had the same opinion. The human being they contracted was really a carefree spirit.

Taotie, who listened to their conversation, burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... No wonder I am attracted to you, and without realising, I performed the contract ritual with you." Taotie said. Then he continued again. "It has been a long time since I met someone like you. I am glad you are the first human being that I encounter after being confined for a long time."

"So, the arrays are indeed sealing you away." Bai Xifeng looked at the broken walls.

"Yeah. Those arrogant human beings wanted to control me. So, I wreaked havoc at their place. Because of that, I don’t energy to fight. So, they decided to seal me after starving me." Taotie stated.

"They starve you?" Bai Xifeng was shocked.
