After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 79 - Strong and Arrogant Again
79: Chapter 79: Strong, and Arrogant Again
79 -79: Strong, and Arrogant Again
Seeing the time, Gu An noticed it was still early.
He could further refine his current realm.
Afternoon.
Gu An woke up from a dream.
Having refined three times now, his strength had increased by thirty percent compared to before.
The spiritual energy inside his body was vast and pure.
In the Outer Sect, unless one cultivated a particularly good cultivation technique, no one could match him with a single strike.
Mountain Opening Fist, Qi Sea Sky Gang, combined with the current vast spiritual energy.
“As long as I don’t provoke the Inner Sect, I am almost fearless against anyone in the Outer Sect.”
After all, this time the Inner Sect recruitment took in all the Foundation Establishment disciples.
Others were still preparing to advance to Foundation Establishment.
And he himself had already reached the peak, just needing a better cultivation technique to step into Foundation Establishment at any moment.
Just waiting for the task to be completed in September.
By then, no one in the Outer Sect would be his opponent.
For a moment, Gu An was brimming with pride.
Feeling this, Gu An was startled.
He muttered to himself quietly.
“I’m done for, I’ve become arrogant, again wanting to test my skills on someone.”
Then he got up and left the house.
He hadn’t taken much care of it recently, it was a bit messy.
Next time, next time he would tidy it up when he could.
Now he needed to rush to logging.
Gu An, having recovered, was quick at logging.
He completed the task successfully before the bell tolled in the evening.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Recently, Jinxi hadn’t appeared, which was peaceful.
When he went to return the axe, Liang Chen said with emotion:
“Junior Brother is truly diligent, in another ten days you will gain a lot of luck, I really envy you.”
Gu An nodded and responded with a light laugh:
“Thanks to Senior Brother.”
“Haha, keep it up, let me know if you need anything,” Liang Chen laughed.
Gu An nodded and then left.
He felt that if he worked hard for long, perhaps this senior brother would also benefit.
That night.
Gu An met up with three others.
Then they headed to the mid-mountain.
Although there were other people logging, it was rare to encounter anyone.
Even if they met, they wouldn’t dare to greet casually.
Nobody wanted too much involvement with others, as it wasn’t something to be proud of.
“Have you all thought it through?” Feng Lin said on the way:
“It’s exactly ten days now, if we continue, we have to do another ten days.
Otherwise, returning the spirit stones means the work was for nothing.”
Nobody spoke.
Feng Lin looked at Gu An and said, “Junior Brother Gu, think it through, at your age continuing might be too much for your body.
You’re not talkative and not good at arguing, it seems difficult for you to fight for your own interests.
You just have to mention it briefly at the time.
I will speak for you.
If there’s a problem, I will take the blame.
Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Gu An just lightly laughed and did not speak.
He was there today to see if this person would really speak up.
After reaching the spot, Feng Lin then instigated the other two people.
Gu An continued to log upwards.
The moment the axe chopped down, Gu An felt as if needles were piercing into his spirit.
A slight agony, unpleasant.
Spiritual energy was drawn out slightly as well.
“Basically no relief, still painful, and the spiritual energy still being extracted.”
“But my spirit is tougher now, I should be able to endure longer.”
“That’s also fine, ten days won’t leave me too ragged.”
As the axe fell repeatedly.
Gu An gradually began to feel a warm current.
[Hard Cultivation: 1/100]
[Hard Cultivation: 2/100]
Time slowly passed, and the accumulation of the Warm Current was so steady it brought joy.
[Magic: 1/50]
This situation lasted until midnight.
At that point, Gu An suddenly realized something.
He stopped logging.
The Ring of Destiny produced some feedback.
Seeing this, Gu An began to check.
Usually, when this appears, it’s never good news.
[Yesterday morning, Feng Lin urged you to voluntarily ask to leave and after being rejected, he held a grudge, and went back to think about how to make you, the old fellow, propose leaving on your own.
As soon as you suggest it, he would immediately argue back, insult you, and even attack you, to get the attention of the Inner Sect Disciples.
Logging was meant to connect with the Inner Sect, to establish oneself within the Outer Sect, but ordinary methods would not work, hence he might have to sacrifice those logging together with him.
If he couldn’t persuade them, then he’d try to get someone who was logging together to say they didn’t want to log anymore, and then secretly tattle.
There’s a justification for his action.]
After reading the content, Gu An was quite surprised.
“So, it was for this reason.”
“No wonder he asked if I was really lacking Spirit Stones, turns out it wasn’t for the Spirit Stones.”
For such people, as long as they do not disturb him, Gu An wouldn’t interfere.
But if it were incessant,
He would not be polite either.
It seems, now it’s to see if the other two would be deceived.
He could observe a bit more.
Afterwards, Gu An continued logging.
Dawn was breaking when he reluctantly stopped logging.
Upon reaching the Thunder Wood, Gu An found everyone gathered around a woman.
“The last ten days, do your tasks well, and then you’ll have four days off, I’ve already picked them for you.
Four days are the last two days of this month and the first two days of next month,” a Ninth Level of Qi Refining woman said condescendingly:
“But if you fail to perform well, don’t blame me for being heartless.
Do your logging properly, it’s good for everyone, and don’t sabotage this chance.
You won’t be able to stay in the Outer Sect.
Do you understand?”
Many nodded below, replying “Understood.”
Sparse replies.
“Are you all useless?
Why so quiet?” the woman scolded.
“Understood!” Many raised their voices.
The woman’s eyes carried disdain.
Finally, she turned and left.
Gu An watched her, dressed in a Magic Robe with a well-knotted hair bun, her features slightly more eminent than common folk.
“She must be a Disciple from one of the Main Peaks,” Gu An thought to himself.
This person seemed to be in charge, and there appeared to be no Foundation Establishment disciple here.
Only You Hong, the guide, belonged to Foundation Establishment, but he hasn’t appeared since.
He should only be responsible for guiding.
“Two days at the end of the month, two days at the start of the month,” Gu An reflected while watching her leave: “Isn’t it just two days off this month?”
Forcefully deducted two days.
But since others had no objections, he didn’t have much to say either.
After all, he didn’t plan to take any leave.
For him, this was a blessing.
In the end, Gu An didn’t hear Feng Lin ask to leave the place.
Also, just now his position was somewhat forward, and his voice not small.
Regrettably, the other party didn’t spare an additional glance.
It’s understandable; those here were already labeled as the lower class.
How many would come here if not compelled or lacking Spirit Stones?
Is this a place for normal people to endure?
After their group met, they descended the mountain together.
Feng Lin didn’t say anything today.
Nor in the following days, nor did the others speak.
As time passed, their bodies became weaker.
Eight days later.
Gu An noticed Yu Tu and the others seemed excited, as they could rest starting from tomorrow.
Zeng Lan, holding her injured hand, also showed a smile.
After today, six Spirit Stones here, five from the Outer Sect, eleven Spirit Stones for a month.
Not a small amount at all.
