Chapter 109: The Blessing of the Mountain Soul

High in the sky, the woman seemed to have sensed something. She turned her head and looked in Bai Wushang’s direction.

It was only a fleeting glance. Bai Wushang did not see her face clearly at all. He only saw the flames rising in her eyes, which were extraordinarily coquettish.

“Her perception is so sharp!”

Bai Wushang exclaimed and withdrew his peeping gaze immediately.

The next second, his lips and tongue were somewhat dry as if he had not drunk water for a long time.

He gulped down a bottle of water, and the strange feeling disappeared.

“What a weird ability. She is so far away, but she managed to dehydrate my body slightly with just a glance. What kind of Bloodline Talent is this…”

Bai Wushang was extremely shocked, and his fear of this woman increased once again.

“What’s wrong?” The little rabbit asked curiously through its mind.

“Nothing, just focus on climbing.”

…

Members of the patrol squad of the Sacred Mountain always worked in pairs.

They would not rashly approach and disturb any Master unless it was necessary.

They would either patrol around the mountain peak according to the rules or secretly guard an area with a lot of students to take action according to the orders at any time.

At this moment, two Floating Stone Blankets were quietly floating in the air a thousand meters behind Bai Wushang.

A woman with a scar on her cheek covered her mouth and giggled coquettishly,

“This is going to be interesting. Two Autonomous Awakeners are climbing together. Xu, do you want to bet? I Bet 50 Mystic Energy points.”

“Bet?” Another man, who was as skinny as a monkey but had sharp eyes, curled his lips. “Ms. Sun, is this bet really necessary? This woman’s reputation has already spread throughout the academy. Scarlet Flame Witch, heh, how arrogant she is…”

“Go ahead and be jealous!” The woman with a scar on her cheek, whose name was Sun Qingxia, rolled her eyes at him, “I heard that this red-haired girl’s Little Flame Sparrow is a Mortal Bone Level 9-Stars Pet Beast, which is the descendant of an ancient beast. It can climb up to the 1,000th level only with its innate ability. In fact… she has the chance to reach the top!”

“But this is her first time climbing, right?”

Xu Lang, who looked like a skinny monkey, crossed his arms over his chest and muttered to himself, “There’s still a difference in difficulty between reaching the top on the first try and reaching the top after repeated attempts…”

“I guess you’ve forgotten the person we met last year!”

Sun Qingxia played with her purple-red hair and said leisurely, “Since that’s the case, do you have the guts to play a little bigger? I’ll bet 100 Mystic Energy points on Zhu Qin who will reach the top in her first climbing!”

“The person we met last year… hasn’t appeared in public for a long time…”

Xu Lang raised his eyebrows. Then, an obvious look of fear appeared on his face. “According to what you said, these two people are indeed similar. A witch full of flames, a demoness made of ice cubes. Heh, sooner or later, they will be a duel between them…”

“Cut the crap. Do you want to bet or not?” Sun Qingxia was a little impatient.

Xu Lang narrowed his eyes and looked again. Then, he said frankly, “I’ll bet! But I’m not betting on Zhu Qin. I bet on the young man next to her!”

Sun Qingxia was surprised. “That person is called Bai Wushang, right? His Pet Beasts on the record are the Demon Ape and the Moon Rabbit. Forget about the Moon Rabbit. I guess it has been crushed by the Force now. But the Demon Ape is not bad, it’s much stronger than our Pet Beasts at the same level.”

“Right, let’s bet on this guy. I’ll bet 100 points of Mystic Energy. I bet he will reach the 960th level!”

“960? That High?!”

Sun Qingxia was shocked. She pondered for a while and suddenly said,

“I understand! ! You are sure that Zhu Qin will reach the top and then trigger the Mountain Soul’s grace, right?”

Xu Lang kept silent and stared at her with a faint smile.

Sun Qingxia calculated carefully. Then, she shook her head slowly, “Even with the help of the Mountain Soul’s grace, he can’t realize such a big leap… I bet he will stop at the 950th level!”

“Okay!” Xu Lang replied, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. “Ms. Sun, Ms. Sun, I will win this time!”

“You’ve beaten me so many times, it’s time for you to lose!”

Compared to Sun Qingxia, he had more friends.

He got a clue from hearsay that Bai Wushang’s Demon Ape seemed to be a Mutated Species.

Therefore, it could climb even higher!

When they looked over again, they found the red-haired girl on the right was approaching the 980th level, getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain.

The man in grey clothes on the left was at the 800th level. He was not as fast as Zhu Qin. But he was moving up steadily.

“Young man, don’t disappoint me. 100 Mystic Energy points are enough for me to live lavishly for a few days…”

…

On the mountain path, the Demon Ape was panting and sweating profusely.

As for the little rabbit, it got used to the bumpy ride by holding the Demon Ape’s horn with its four paws tightly.

Then, it curled up into a small ball and fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Wushang fixed his eyes on his two Pet Beasts while maintaining a shallow meditation.

Even so, the cultivation speed of his Soul Power was more than twice that of the outside world.

“The 900th level!”

As they approached the peak of the mountain, Bai Wushang was even more vigilant and didn’t dare to be careless.

He stopped his meditation directly and focused all his attention on ensuring the safety of his Pet Beasts.

Through the feedback of his thoughts, he knew Ah Zhou was under great pressure as if it was placed under a turbulent wave. For every step forward, it needed more than ten seconds of preparation.

At this stage, only strength and physical strength weren’t enough. It still needed prodigious courage and caution. If it made a tiny mistake, he would be knocked over or even destroyed by the endless pressure.

“Ah Zhou, are you alright?”

“I can make it!!!”

The Monster Ape gritted its teeth as it opened its eyes wide.

It mobilized all the muscles in its body, and at the same time, it tried its best to maintain the rhythm of its breathing.

In this way, it moved up one step after another. It seemed to be numb, but it also seemed to be climbing higher tirelessly.

910… 920… 930…

“Dong!”

Suddenly, a melodious bell sound echoed in the desolate and empty mountain range.

The sound was loud but not deafening. The lingering sound was filled with a sense of peace and justice.

As if disturbed by the bell chime, the Cloud Barrier was stopped for a moment and lost its effect for a moment.

Immediately, Bai Wushang heard the indistinct roar of a wild beast from the nearby mountain range.

“Roar!” “Growl!” “Grrrr!”…

The Demon Ape, who was not willing to be outdone, also raised its head to the sky and roared crazily. It was very easy to sense its excitement.

“Chirrup???”

Milky Way jumped up in fright. All the hair on its body stood on end as it woke up with a start.

The first thing it did was to strain its ears and grind its teeth as it looked around.

“What happened?”

“Are we in danger?”

“Where is it?”

In the distance, Xu Lang sighed, “The Mountain Soul’s grace blessed all Pet Beasts… Zhu Qin has reached the top. It’s really enviable…”

“Xu, why do I get a feeling that I’m going to lose?!”

Sun Qingxia had always been optimistic about Zhu Qin. Although she was surprised, most of her attention was still focused on the man in grey clothes.

As long as she could see the position of the Master, she could accurately determine the height of his Pet Beasts.

The grey-clothed man had already reached the 940th level and was still moving up steadily!

In less than two minutes, Sun Qingxia became so angry that she clenched her fists and smashed them into the air twice.

“Hah, hah, hah, Ms. Sun, I’m sorry, I won!” Xu Lang laughed.

“The Mountain Soul’s grace can only replenish 10% of its stamina at most, but its moving speed hasn’t slowed down yet. This means that his Demon Ape hasn’t reached its limit yet…”

Sun Qingxia glanced at Xu Lang from the corner of her eyes. Seeing this, Xu Lang laughed awkwardly. Then, she asked angrily,

“Tell me, do you know anything else?!”
