I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 870
Chapter 870: Restored Confidence
“What’s wrong, Da Bai?” An Lin asked with concern.
“Get away from me. I’m just a weak dog that is inferior to everyone, even a bug, woof!” Da Bai sprawled onto the ground with a suicidal expression.
An Lin finally figured out why Da Bai was behaving like this. It was because the other members of the beast pet team had unwittingly crushed his confidence.
He knelt down beside Da Bai and stroked his furry head. “Da Bai… You’ve restricted yourself to too small of a circle. You need to set your sights further than just our beast pet team…”
“What do you mean?” Da Bai blinked his big, round eyes with a thoughtful expression.
“Put it this way!” An Lin asked in a meaningful and heartfelt tone, “What cultivation base is Liu Dabao’s Beach Sea Turtle?”
“I think it was… fifth-stage Dao Body? Woof!” Da Bai replied.
“Then bash it!” An Lin encouraged.
He continued, “Let me ask you again. What cultivation base is Tang Ximen’s Earth Explosion Tiger?”
“I think it was… eighth-stage Dao Body?” Dao Body replied a little hesitantly.
“It can’t beat you in a fight either! If you’re not feeling well, go pick on it!” An Lin encouraged with a justified expression.
“Then wouldn’t Tang Ximen bash me? Woof!” Da Bai was a little scared.
“He’s just a mere Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator, how is he going to beat you?” An Lin chuckled.
Da Bai immediately attained enlightenment.
“Let’s continue. Chang’e’s Yue Tu… Forget about that one!”
An Lin waved his hand. “Anyway, cast your sights across the entire United University of Cultivation. Don’t restrict yourself to just our small beast pet team…”
“You’ll find that aside from our beast pet team, you’ll be able to easily bully all the other beast pets! If you cast your sights across the entire world, you’ll find… that you’re invincible!”
Da Bai’s eyes widened, and he seemed to have suddenly understood something.
Tears began to well up in its eyes. “So that’s why… It’s because I’ve always been too short-sighted and missed the bigger picture…”
Tina was shocked. Was this what it meant to broaden one’s horizons?
The Jade Bone Immortal Bug was also quite shocked. This was the first time she had witnessed how good An Lin was with words.
Da Bai had truly been touched, and he leaped onto An Lin excitedly. “Big Brother An, you’re so good to me! Listening to you has completely changed my perspective on life for the better, woof!”
An Lin patted Da Bai’s head with a smile. What he had just said was not a lie.
This was like the Hua Nation’s table tennis. After making it into the national table tennis team, athletes would often find that they were unable to beat anyone and would sink into despair. This was when they needed to cast their eyes across the entire world!
They could go to some other countries and easily destroy everyone there to recover their confidence.
“Go, Da Bai! Recover the glory that belongs to you!” An Lin encouraged.
“Alright, Big Brother An, I’m going now, woof!” Da Bai waved a paw at An Lin before strutting out of the dorm room with his chest puffed out and his head held high.
Right after walking out the door, Da Bai caught sight of some construction work taking place on a patch of lawn several dozen meters away. It looked like someone was building a house?
There were one man and two beasts laboring away.
Hehe, are they our new neighbors?
A wicked smile appeared on Da Bai’s face.
Big Brother Bai was the top dog around these parts! It was time to instill that value firmly into their minds!
Da Bai made his way over to them before clearing his throat. “Ahem, are you new here?”
The man turned before nodding politely. “That’s right. And you are?”
Da Bai was a little taken aback upon seeing this man. He appeared a little too old to be a student. He wasn’t some sort of backdoor entrant, was he?
Da Bai ignored this for now before patting his chest with his paw. “I, Da Bai, am the top dog here! If you want my protection around these parts, you have to call me Big Brother Bai, understood? When you encounter me, you have to greet me with enthusiasm and respect, understood?”
“Pffft, hahaha…” The groundhog chortled with amusement. “Where did this stupid dog come from? For the dog to be so stupid, the owner must be a stupid c*nt too! Hahaha…”
Da Bai’s eyes widened with rage, and he stamped his paw down, upon which the earth cracked underfoot.
His Half-Step Soul Formation Stage aura instantly exploded forth.
“Little mouse, I’ll give you just one chance to apologize to me!” Da Bai was enraged.
A mere groundhog dared to insult him? How could he take this sitting down?
He had to establish dominance over it, otherwise, it wouldn’t know who the boss was around these parts!
“Hehe, stupid dog! Get the f*ck out of here before I teach you a lesson!” The groundhog did not back down in the slightest.
The middle-aged man didn’t say anything. Instead, he stood off to the side and surveyed the situation with relish.
Da Bai: “Woof!”
Groundhog: “Ahhh…!”
Both of them let loose war cries before charging toward the other.
Thump thump thump… bang bang bang… clatter clatter clatter… puff puff puff…
After an earth-shattering battle.
Da Bai lay on the ground, bruised and battered.
A groundhog sat on top of him with a malicious smile.
“Why? Wasn’t I supposed to be invincible across the entire university?
“How… How could I lose to a groundhog in my first ever fight?”
Da Bai’s newly restored confidence completely collapsed as he howled sadly.
The groundhog was taken aback upon seeing this. Why was this dog crying just because it lost a battle?
As a native powerful being from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, it was completely unable to comprehend why anyone would cry after losing a battle.
“Ew, disgusting.” The groundhog walked away with a disdainful expression.
“Who did you call disgusting? Woof!” Da Bai’s sobs faltered as he glowered at the groundhog.
“Heh, I’m referring to a certain dog that cries after losing battles! Disgusting!” the groundhog replied disdainfully.
Da Bai was enraged. He pounced toward the groundhog. “I’ll kill you! Woof!”
Boom!
His domain was unleashed.
Silver blades of wind enshrouded the entire space around him.
The groundhog chuckled fearlessly, following which another intense battle erupted.
Thump thump thump… bang bang bang… clatter clatter clatter… puff puff puff…
After another intense battle, Da Bai fell to the ground while frothing at the mouth.
“Hehe, do you concede?” The groundhog stood on Da Bai’s back as it looked down on him with disdain.
Da Bai’s body trembled with rage. “Never, woof!”
Thump thump thump… bang bang bang… clatter clatter clatter… puff puff puff…
Within An Lin’s dorm room.
After enduring such an ordeal, it was finally time for him to relax and rest.
He poured himself a cup of tea. This brand of tea leaves was a renowned local spirit tea from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool; it was called the White Fox Immortal Tea. It had an extremely pure and fragrant aroma, which was quite a contrast from the place where it had originated from.
Tina sat with her tiny, pristine legs folded in front of her as she carefully held a teacup in her tiny hands before taking a small sip.
“Hmm… Delicious!” Her eyes narrowed with elation as she praised.
A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face, and he too took a sip of his tea.
“Giant An Lin, if Da Bai goes around bullying everyone’s beast pets, wouldn’t it be bad?” Tina asked in a low voice.
“He won’t do that.” An Lin shook his head with confidence. “Da Bai knows what he’s doing. He’s only going to intimidate some little animals. He won’t actually fight seriously.”
Just as his voice faded.
Boom!
Da Bai stumbled through the door.
“He’s back so soon?” Tina was surprised.
An Lin was also surprised, but he maintained a smile on his face. “It’s probably because there weren’t any worthy adversaries, so he came back because he was bored.”
Da Bai then appeared before them.
He was bruised and battered all over, one of his teeth was broken, and there were still tears streaming down his face.
“Waah… Big Brother An!”
Da Bai lunged for An Lin as he cried, “I’m never going outside again! I’m so useless, I can’t beat anyone! The world outside is so scary! Woof!”
An Lin: “…”
