In the next moment, with An Jing’s seemingly slow yet fast slap, Xu Keji’s astonished face was struck out from the light, his entire person rolling on the ground several times, then collapsing limp on the ground.
However, he didn’t pass out.
"Good, you didn’t faint, I knew you could handle it!"
Only then did An Jing’s commentary come: "Your Fate Pattern [Wind Assistance] requires good lightness skills. Your Mysterious Steps are used well, but after all, Mysterious Steps are for short-distance explosive assassination footsteps."
"So, Keji, I still have some sect affairs to attend to these days. Come find me in the latter half of the month. Don’t do anything else; I’ll design a special training plan for you... By then, don’t cry."
Despite being bloodied by An Jing’s slap, Xu Keji took a deep breath, flipped from the ground, and stood up, looking at An Jing with a face full of joy: "Will you really design a training plan for me, Eldest Senior Brother? You’re not lying?"
"Since when have I lied?"
An Jing waved his hand, and Xu Keji laughed heartily: "If I utter a word of complaint, I’m your grandson! Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother!"
Seeing this scene, the Children of Calamity erupted, everyone full of excitement.
"Wow, that’s unfair, Eldest Senior Brother! Keji used to be a sweeper, he deliberately challenged you to show his strength, tricking you into fighting and giving him a training plan!"
"Yeah, yeah, how can any training plan be tougher than sweeping? This is all a scam, Eldest Senior Brother, don’t be fooled by him!"
At first, everyone else was glaring at Xu Keji—thinking this guy must have swept himself silly. An Jing had just beaten the true transmissions from all roads so badly that not even their mothers could recognize them. How dare Xu Keji get so drunk after eating a few dishes and act this way!
But on second thought, oh my god, Xu Keji is a genius. He managed to run away using such a method!
Life in the Bright Mirror Sect, though difficult, certainly wasn’t as hard as the Northern Border.
Bright Mirror Sect provided abundant resources, much better than Hanging Fate Manor.
It was only the living quarters, resources for which were available, but they all had to be built by the Children of Calamity themselves.
This wasn’t intentional mistreatment by Bright Mirror Sect; theoretically, the design and planning of Mingguang Peak needed to be done by Mingguang Dust himself or An Jing if necessary. No other peaks could intervene.
But with Mingguang Dust and An Jing both absent... the Children of Calamity had to build it themselves.
Luckily, Gu Yeqi was capable of leading the team. Over the past two years, they had indeed built a small manor on Mingguang Peak, planted some fields, raised some fish and chickens. Nowadays, they were self-sufficient, everyone had food and shelter, and even continued to renovate. The initially crooked little houses were all transformed into proper flat buildings.
But this life was extremely hard. Especially Xu Keji, given his Fate Pattern as a Martial Artist, was being exploited by Gu Yeqi like a sweeping immortal. Of course, he couldn’t take it anymore. Seeing An Jing come, he directly challenged, thinking it a good chance to get heavily injured and rest for half a month, not to mention obtaining the training course from Eldest Senior Brother!
"I want to challenge too!" "Eldest Senior Brother, I want to challenge you too!" "Include me, include me, Eldest Senior Brother, you can handle ten with just one hand, surely you can include me!"
"Don’t rush, don’t rush, everyone calm down."
Taking Xu Keji as an example, other Children of Calamity went crazy. An Jing could guess what was going on; he laughed and waved a gust of wind. The terrifying wind pressure instantly flattened everyone present except Gu Yeqi: "Now that I’m here, none of you need to do such simple chores anymore!"
Even when knocked down by An Jing, the Children of Calamity cheered skillfully: "We always knew Eldest Senior Brother was invincible! We admire you, Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Yeqi, your strength has improved quite a bit!"
Turning his head, An Jing was somewhat surprised—he hadn’t held back on Gu Yeqi, using the level of mid-high Inner Strength to knock him down. That was sufficient for those among the Children of Calamity who lacked Inner Strength, yet Gu Yeqi wasn’t down.
"Grandfather specially trained me on this point, so I wouldn’t be killed by the aftermath at least."
Gu Yeqi had a vague Qi Force rolling all over his body, dispersing most of An Jing’s strength in a special way. He smiled: "And I remember Eldest Senior Brother’s advice—if possible, start with ’Divine Soul Abnormality’, so I’ve been working towards it. Now I finally have one Divine Abnormality, so I won’t be easily knocked down by Eldest Senior Brother!"
Saying this, Gu Yeqi was somewhat proud, with a hint of wanting praise in his eyes.
An Jing never hesitated to praise: "Amazing, Yeqi! Although I didn’t know at first, I understand now; achieving the first Divine Abnormality with a Divine Soul places you as a genius in the entire North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent. Even though Cang Linzu awakened the Heaven Star Mandate, he hasn’t achieved it yet!"
Of course, this wasn’t due to Cang Linzu’s lack of talent, but because his talent was extraordinarily unique, a Yin Earth Sky Shadow. An Jing gathered a bunch of spiritual objects and related cultivation techniques from the Night Niche Gang and was still sorting them out. Once understood, he would specifically design a Martial Vein Array Diagram and related cultivation for him.
Thinking of this, An Jing was a bit curious: "Speaking of which, Yeqi, leading these rascals must take a lot of your energy, right? What’s your cultivation technique? What’s the name of the Divine Soul Abnormality you condensed?"
