I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes Novel - Chapter 158
158 Therefore, Being Uncultured Is Very Troublesome
No one questioned Feng Xia’s decision to launch an attack immediately.
The reason why they wanted to act against the Ever-changing Demon Wolf was not because they wanted to kill him for the sake of killing, but because that Ever-changing Demon Wolf was most likely one of Ying Chengpeng’s incarnations!
Only by killing this demon wolf as soon as possible could they divert Ying Chengpeng’s attention away from themselves and prevent this terrifying demon king from taking notice of the Xuanwu Kingdom too early.
Even Qing Lin, who looked rather immature, was very clear about this point.
!!
Therefore, when she found out what Feng Xia and the rest intended to do, she immediately requested to travel with them.
Of course, Feng Xia suspected that she wanted to use the chance to avenge her personal grudge and take the opportunity to beat up the Ever-changing Demon Wolf.
There was one thing that Long Da was right about. His secret technique to purify and awaken one’s bloodline indeed seemed to have a certain effect on reducing intelligence… At least for the past few days, he could clearly feel that Qing Lin’s way of thinking had unknowingly become a little even more childlike.
“However, her combat strength shouldn’t be affected. In fact, because her intelligence is decreasing, it means that her strength is increasing…”
Feng Xia shook his head and was about to leave when his expression changed again.
Ascension Art!
Ascension Art!
Ascension Art ah!
“I’ve completely forgotten about this!” He sighed in his heart, then waved his hand at the Xuanwu Emperor and the others. “You guys go ahead, I need to go and make some preparations.”
The group was stunned for a moment, but they did not suspect anything. They nodded one after another and then soared into the sky.
Feng Xia was left alone feeling sad on the spot.
“The Ascension Art… Never mind, just in case anything happens, I’ll break through to the Primal Core Realm again.” Feng Xia felt overwhelmed as he called out his only Mystical Wheel.
Ever since he activated this Mystical Wheel, the other mystical realms seemed to have fallen silent. No matter how he sensed around, he could not open more new mystical realms.
Although he could simulate eight Mystical Wheels with this one and only mystical realm, it was only a simulation.
Furthermore, after getting this Mystical Wheel, there was an even more difficult problem for Feng Xia ahead. “If I have only one Mystical Wheel, doesn’t that mean that I can only cultivate one intrinsic divine power? In other words, my Divine Power Realm can only reach the first level?”
He would always be seven levels lower than others for no rhyme or reason. This made Feng Xia, who did not like to lose out on anything, feel as uncomfortable as if someone had snatched the meat from his bowl.
Those novel characters who transmigrated to the cultivation world often wished that they could cultivate to a few hundred levels of the same realm, to gain the reputation of having a deep foundation and a solid background…
Yet when it came to him, Feng Xia, there was only one level in the realm!
Feng Xia vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, his cultivation period was too short. His strength was passable, but his knowledge was not. Once he encountered a problem that he had never seen before, he could not see a way out of it.
“Forget it, let’s not think too much about it. Maybe I can ask Long Da next time, or maybe I can ask Patriarch Chenhai in the future.” Feng Xia sighed resignedly and quickly stepped back into the Primal Core Realm. “Oh right, I can go to the Heavenly Pattern Academy too. Apart from those few brats, there’s basically no other danger there. Maybe I can ask the teacher about my problem with the mystical realm…”
He sighed resignedly again. Seeing Zhu Youniang walking over, Feng Xia put on a smiling face and said, “Youniang, this battle is very dangerous. You don’t have to go with me.”
“I want to go precisely because it’s dangerous.”
To Feng Xia’s surprise, the young girl was quite persistent in this matter and had no intention of backing down. “I can’t let you be eaten by other demon beasts.”
“…This… Alright then.” In the end, he could not dissuade Zhu Youniang, so Feng Xia could only agree. “We might encounter many dangers during the battle. Youniang, you just watch from the side.”
This time, the girl nodded obediently and agreed.
Feng Xia took a deep breath and held the girl’s hand tightly. As he felt the warmth being transmitted to him, he managed to relax and even had the mood to write a few words on the girl’s palm.
Zhu Youniang’s cheeks puffed up. Then, she reminded him kindly, “Xia, have you forgotten… I don’t seem to be literate?”
Feng Xia: “???”
However, at this moment, he had a sudden idea as he felt the girl’s slender fingertips sliding across his palm. She imitated his previous strokes and clumsily wrote down the same words.
Feng Xia smiled resignedly and reached out to lift the hair on the girl’s forehead.
“Then let me teach you how to read and write when the matters in Xuanwu Kingdom are settled.”
…
Big Black Peak of the mountain ranges of Mount Canglan.
A mountain range was usually the collective term for the numerous mountain ridges and valleys that extended in a certain direction.
The mountain ranges of Mount Canglan were extremely vast. There were even behemoths like the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons located in the depths of the mountain ranges of Mount Canglan, making it difficult for people to find the other end of it.
Big Black Peak was one of the mountains in the northwest part of the mountain ranges of Mount Canglan, close to Xuanwu Kingdom.
The reason why it was called Big Black Peak was because most of this mountain peak was completely made up of pitch-black rocks and not a single blade of grass grew in any directions. There was no other special reason.
Originally, because Big Black Peak was rather barren, other than some low-level demon beasts, very few living beings came here.
However, more than 10 years ago, a seriously injured demon wolf came here and made Big Black Peak its territory. He recuperated here and slowly licked the wounds all over his body, accumulating his strength day after day.
As this demon wolf was very strong and had already reached the Primal Core Realm, many demon beasts kept coming to submit to him. Gradually, he gathered a considerable amount of power.
During this period of time, he relied on his varied divine powers to be cunning and sly. He repeatedly invaded the territories of surrounding demon beast lords and won more often than lost. In the end, he managed to occupy many territories.
Howl—
On this day, the Ever-changing Demon Wolf had finished patrolling his territory and was about to go back to sleep.
Suddenly, he sniffed gently and let out a low whimper. His green eyes revealed a trace of bloodthirstiness as he looked towards a cave in the distance.
The place where he usually slept and rested was the largest grotto on Big Black Peak.
There were only two passageways connecting the grotto and the outside. One was in the open, and the other was in the dark.
However, he could clearly sense at the moment that someone had suddenly barged into the dark secret passage that no one should know about!
Boohoo—
The Ever-changing Demon Wolf stood up, its steel-like fur standing on end as it stared warily in the direction of the secret passage. Not long after, a small figure walked out. A series of sobbing sounds entered the demon wolf’s ears.
“Boohoohoo… Father, Mother, where are you…”
“Yue’er is lost… Yue’er is so scared…”
“I hear there’s a big bad wolf on the mountain…”
Finally, the Ever-changing Demon Wolf saw the figure clearly. It was a human girl wearing a floral dress. She looked quite exquisite and cute.
However, the little girl’s big eyes were red at this moment. From time to time, she would sob as if she had suffered a huge grievance.
