I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1202

Chapter 1202: Chapter 123: Three Holes and Six Chambers Chapter 1202: Chapter 123: Three Holes and Six Chambers “Indeed, quite impressive, truly a talent that can be molded.”

Xueshenzi nonchalantly nodded his head: “Having such extraordinarily gifted talent, even if we sacrifice all the other disciples, it would be worth it. Furthermore, we have gained a Saint Realm powerhouse like Bald Qiang. Our sect has profited immensely from this move.”

“However, the position of Saint Heir is of immense importance and has extensive implications. If one wishes to become the Saint Heir, everything must be done according to the rules. Let her undergo the trial of the 'Three Caves and Six Mansions' before making a decision.”

“Before that, we need to select a mentor for her. Meng Qi, amongst the many Elders present, do you have a preferred method lineage?”

Xueshenzi asked.

Selecting a mentor for the Sect Disciples is usually managed by the Half-Holy Level Elders, but since Meng Qi today has been titled the champion newbie, she deserves some personal guidance from him.

“Choosing a method lineage is a decision for a lifetime, carelessness is not allowed. In my opinion, this young girl should think it over more. Maybe after learning more about our Sect she can make a better decision, what say?”

Blood Fiend Elder interjected, as a candidate for Saint Heir choosing a method lineage to become a disciple under, naturally, he hopes it would be aligned with the Blood Demon Sect. However, since everyone had just met, it was difficult to convince her immediately; it would be better to gradually persuade her in private.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior, but I already have someone in mind, I hope the Sect Master agrees!”

Meng Qi spoke respectfully but firmly to Xueshenzi.

“Oh?”

“Tell me, which Elder is it?”

Xueshenzi was intrigued. Normally, a disciple who had just joined the sect wouldn't know much about the many Elders, so her having a preference was surprising.

“Reporting to Sect Master, it is Elder Bald Qiang. Yesterday, I saw Elder Bald single-handedly holding his own against two Saint Realm powerhouses at the Hehuan's Sect training grounds which led me to admire and aspire to pursue cultivation alongside him!”

Meng Qi declared loudly.

Standing by, Li Xiaobai, who was originally disinterested, shivered involuntarily at her words. Good heavens, there was also a mention of him here, why did this girl set her sights on him?

Moreover, it seemed from her gaze that there was a hint of pride and confidence?

What was this young girl imagining?

“Ha ha ha, Brother Bald still has good market value. Sect Master, I can assure you, Brother Bald is a top-notch expert, no problem guiding this young girl!”

Blood Fiend Elder laughed heartily, looking at Xueshenzi and stating so. Now Li Xiaobai was in line with him, Meng Qi becoming a disciple of Li Xiaobai meant that she was in good relations with his Blood Demon lineage, naturally, he was whole-heartedly in favor.

Today feels like a lucky day, it seems the gods are on his side, well deserved for his Blood Demon lineage to shine brightly!

“If that be the case, then follow Elder Bald diligently, never slack off. Come to the 'Three Caves and Six Mansions' in three days to test your aptitude. If you perform exceptionally, you may be promoted to Saint Heir despite the norms. Competition within the sect is fierce, often a matter of life and death, remember to stay humble and cautious.”

Xueshenzi nodded and slowly spoke.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for your approval!”

“Dismissed.”

Xueshenzi didn't say much else today, as there were outsiders present. There were many things he didn't want Li Xiaobai and Meng Qi to know, he merely performed his duty superficially and departed, his body transforming into a cloud of black smoke and flashing away, disappearing without a trace.

The hall was silent for a moment before everyone slowly regained their energy.

The Sect Master was present, and all cultivators felt too suppressed to even breathe heavily, only a Saint Realm cultivator like Blood Demon dared to crack a few jokes.

The expressions of the surrounding cultivators varied, all sizing up Li Xiaobai, the weaker ones filled their gazes with awe; after today, the sect added another formidable figure they couldn't afford to provoke. As for the other Saint Realm cultivators, their eyes scrutinized him, clearly seeing the man who dominated both Blood Demon and Hehuan, who also audaciously spoke of becoming a Supreme Elder, as no pushover.

More interactions would be necessary in the future to probe further into his background.

“Fellow cultivators, from now on we are all comrades, serving our sect together, we're one family without distinction. I hope the Elders will take good care of me.”

Li Xiaobai said cheerily to everyone.

However, no one really paid him any mind; Li Xiaobai's demeanor today destined him to be viewed as a rival by other branches, a wildly reckless man who posed a threat to everyone.

“I've taken note of you. What happened today will not end here, I must properly settle this score with you!”

Hehuan coldly stated, throwing out a harsh statement before turning and leaving.

“This bitch still isn't convinced, just wait 'til I deal with you!”

“Blood Demon bro, pick out a mountain peak for me, I want to drink the strongest liquor!”

Li Xiaobai laughed heartily, mocking Hehuan behind his back and simultaneously strengthening his camaraderie with Blood Demon in front of everyone, which infuriated Blood Demon till his face turned as green as iron.

He had already figured out that this Bald Qiang was no good thing early on; despite his rough exterior, his mind was finely meticulous. This guy was constantly attracting hatred towards him. Initially, there was just a misunderstanding with Hehuan's Sect which could have been resolved with a proper explanation and apology, but with this guy's interference, he felt as if this altercation was now a fight to the death.

“Bald Elder, let's leave first. If there's anything important in the future, we can come to meet the Sect Master again.”

“In three days, this girl will be undergoing the trials of the 'Three Caves & Six Palaces'; time waits for no one.”

Blood Fiend Elder said with a forced smile, then with a wave of his hand captured Meng Qi and gently patted Li Xiaobai's shoulder; the three of them disappeared from the hall in an instant.

He dared not stay any longer, fearful that Bald Qiang might say something else offensive, offending Hehuan was already very unwise. If he offended a group of powerhouses, his days ahead would not be easy.

A few moments later,
Li Xiaobai arrived at a mountain peak, filled with eerie Ghost Qi and heavy Yin energy.

“This is my place, Bald Elder, you shall stay temporarily in my humble abode until the sect allocates a mountain peak for you to move to.”

“These few days might be a bit troublesome, alright?”

Blood Fiend Elder chuckled.

“Thank you.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, understanding that Blood Demon intended to uniquely imprison him, binding him to Blood Demon Sect's mountain peak to closely monitor him, and with two Saint Realm powerhouses stationed around, it naturally increased the deterrence significantly.

“Speaking of which, what is 'Three Caves & Six Palaces'?”

Li Xiaobai looked at Meng Qi by his side and asked.

Blood Fiend Elder briefly explained: “'Three Caves & Six Palaces' refers to the nine Saint Heirs; the top three are called the Three Caves, and the latter six are the Six Palaces. However, with one rebel recently, there are only two caves and six palaces left, this girl wishing to enter the top three ranks directly might be quite difficult.”

Li Xiaobai scoffed, looking at Meng Qi, he casually said, “What's the point of being a Saint Heir, just take care of that Divine Child, and you can be the boss!”
