Li Hu felt a surge of disbelief facing Su Xi's threat.
What was Su Xi trying to do?
Why was she asking so clearly? What was her goal?
Su Xi had no intention of indulging him. Seeing Li Hu refuse to speak, she threw a punch, "It seems you haven't suffered enough, so I'll have to make sure you remember."
"Bang bang bang."
Another barrage of attacks left Li Hu feeling even more distressed.
He just wanted a girl, how did it end up like this?
Su Xi looked at Li Hu and asked, "Are you ready to talk properly now?"
She couldn't understand why some people were so stubborn. She tried to reason with them, but they wouldn't listen. They only became obedient when she resorted to force.
Facing Su Xi's threat, Li Hu quickly said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything about how many women my father has."
Hearing Li Hu's words, Su Xi's forehead creased with helplessness.
What was he even talking about?
Who wanted to know his family gossip?
While it might be intriguing, it wasn't what she cared about.
Having learned from his first experience, Li Hu hid nothing this time and revealed everything.
"We can absorb the spiritual energy of this world because we have conversion devices installed. As long as we have this device, we can..."
Wang Gang, standing nearby, heard Li Hu spill everything and quickly tried to stop him, "What are you saying? Do you want to die?"
Their survival depended on their usefulness.
But once they lost their value, Su Xi would not hesitate to act.
Li Hu was too young and naive to reveal everything so readily.
Hearing Wang Gang's reprimand, Li Hu suddenly realized his mistake.
The secrets he held were crucial to his survival. If he really told everything, he wouldn't make it out alive.
But if he didn't, he feared he wouldn't be able to withstand Su Xi's beating.
He felt he couldn't endure such torture any longer.
As Li Hu wrestled with his thoughts, Su Xi had already moved towards Wang Gang.
She was just asking a question, not a comprehension test that required overthinking.
Since Wang Gang had such a vivid imagination, she couldn't be blamed for what happened next.
"Attack."
Su Xi glanced at Lin Qing, signaling him.
Upon hearing Su Xi's command, Lin Qing immediately moved.
Soon, Wang Gang, with a face like a pig's head, begged for mercy, "I'm sorry, it was my fault, please don't do this to me."
He truly didn't want to experience being beaten without any magical powers.
Not only was he severely injured, but the psychological torment was even greater.
Su Xi let out a cold laugh at Wang Gang's plea, "You weren't talking before, what are you doing now?"
Wang Gang, disregarding his pride, said, "I'll talk, I'll say anything."
With several teeth knocked out, Wang Gang's speech was a bit slurred.
Su Xi stopped Lin Qing and looked at Wang Gang, "Since that's the case, speak quickly. My patience isn't that great, you know."
Wang Gang nodded and said, "The converters in our bodies are actually activated through a chant."
"We recite this chant every day, and eventually, we can feel the fluctuations in the air. Over time, we can use the spiritual energy in the air."
"Chant?" Su Xi murmured, then looked at Wang Gang and Li Hu, "Both of you, write this chant down. If even a single character is wrong, don't blame me."
Su Xi's words immediately eliminated any possibility of them faking it.
With no other choice, despite their reluctance, they had to agree.
The chant wasn't very long, so both of them finished writing it quickly.
Su Xi picked up the two copies and compared them carefully. She found that the chants were identical, confirming that neither of them had faked it.
With that settled, Su Xi began to ponder the chant before her.
This chant looked so simple, could it really allow one to sense the magical energy of heaven and earth?
Su Xi expressed her disbelief.
Wang Gang watched Su Xi ponder his chant and inwardly sneered.
Not everyone could grasp this chant. Without the right talent, others would never even get started.
So, even if he gave Su Xi the chant, if she couldn't cultivate, it wouldn't be his fault.
He remembered his master saying he had exceptional talent, and it still took him a month to comprehend the magical aspects of the chant.
Seeing Su Xi's lack of talent, he thought she might never feel the mystery of the chant.
However, before he could voice his thoughts, he suddenly noticed a faint glow emanating from Su Xi's body, a clear sign of grasping the chant.
???
Witnessing this scene, Su Xi felt like she was going insane.
What was this thing?
Why could Su Xi, who seemed so ordinary, grasp it so quickly?
This must be a dream, or she wouldn't be seeing such an outrageous sight.
Su Xi also sensed the anomaly within herself and found that she could indeed feel some of the spiritual energy in the world. A hint of surprise lit up her face.
"You all take a look at this chant too." Good things should be shared with everyone.
Lin Qing and Li Ping took the papers. It didn't take them long before they too began to glow.
Another indication of comprehension?
Seeing so many people with cultivation talent, Wang Gang felt completely crushed.
When he had grasped the essence of the chant in a month, his master had called him a once-in-a-century genius.
Now, compared to Su Xi and the others, he felt like an idiot.
Li Hu's shock surpassed Wang Gang's. It had taken him years to understand the chant, and now someone had attained enlightenment before him.
His initial excitement had completely vanished.
Looking at all this, Li Hu felt that if his father found out, he would surely be beaten severely.
Su Xi and the others, sensing the changes in their bodies, weren't overly surprised.
While they now had a connection to the world's energy, it wasn't enough to wield their abilities.
So, Su Xi looked at Wang Gang, "Do all your sects use chants like this, and how many sects are like yours?"
"All our sects use this chant, but whether other sects use it, I'm not sure."
Wang Gang answered honestly, but he had his own ulterior motives.
If Su Xi could deal with their rivals now, it would mean far less trouble.
Indeed, Su Xi nodded thoughtfully upon hearing Wang Gang's words and said, "Now, you will take me to your sect."
???
Wang Gang's face filled with confusion at Su Xi's words.
What was she planning to do?
Seeing Wang Gang's lack of response, Su Xi let out a cold snort, "What? Are you unwilling now?"
Wang Gang smiled noncommittally and said, "Our sect is poor, there's nothing much to see. I can take you to the Four Great Sects, they definitely have what you're looking for."
Wang Gang was certain that if his master knew he had brought Su Xi to their sect, he would be beaten within an inch of his life.
Therefore, to live a good life for the rest of his days, he certainly wouldn't do such a thing.
Su Xi had anticipated Wang Gang's thoughts and a mischievous smile played on her lips, "My strength isn't enough yet, and your sect's weakness is perfect. We'll deal with your sect first, then move on to others."
Su Xi was confident that a sect that had survived for so long couldn't possibly have only one chant.
She would follow Wang Gang to their Dragon Tiger Sect and see for herself, then she would find what she was looking for.
"Ah?!" Wang Gang's face showed disbelief. He wished he could slap himself twice.
Why had he spoken out of turn and caused such a huge problem?
Seeing Wang Gang's silence, Su Xi said, "Stop playing dead, get up."
They had important matters to attend to and no time to waste.
Moreover, she was certain that these cultivators possessed immense power, and their superficial injuries wouldn't be a problem for them.
Wang Gang and the others struggled to their feet, looking at Su Xi with innocent expressions.
They truly regretted their actions and pleaded not to be treated this way.
Su Xi smiled slightly and produced two pills from her person, presenting them before them, "Eat these, and we are friends. If you don't eat them, then we are enemies."
Hearing Su Xi's words, Li Hu hesitantly asked, "What are these? Will there be any negative consequences after eating them?"
Su Xi, touched by Li Hu's sincerity, sighed helplessly, "These are poisons. If you disobey, I won't give you the antidote, and you'll bleed from every orifice and can never be a man again."
Since the other party was so earnest, Su Xi decided to be equally forthright.
What?
Hearing Su Xi's words, Li Hu's face contorted into a mournful expression.
Had he dug his own grave?
Su Xi had said it so definitively, what could he do?
He definitely couldn't bring himself to eat them.
But if he didn't, Su Xi surely wouldn't agree.
He suddenly felt resentful of himself for asking such a question.
If he hadn't asked, he wouldn't be feeling so miserable.
Wang Gang, upon hearing Su Xi's words, also wished he could kill Li Hu.
Why had he been so superfluous?
Seeing that neither of them reacted, Su Xi's gaze sharpened, "Are you unwilling to act on your own, and want me to help you?"
