Chapter 258: Lin Shu's Time to Shine!

I dont mean to sound rude, but were you born like this? Lei Zhi tried to ask as politely as possible. 

Born like what? Jue asked, confused about what the old man was talking about. 

Have you always been talented in qi or controlling it? Lei Zhi phrased it differently. 

Nope! Im a body cultivator because it's cheaper. Jue happily responded. 

Wait! Runt, didnt you say this person wasnt related to you? Then who is she and why is she following you around? Bing suddenly realized. 

Runt could only spin his eyes around in hopes that Bing would understand his meaning. Bing at first tried to copy the movement of his eyes before his eyes widen in understanding. He went over to Jue and Runt felt eternally grateful. It wasnt that he hated Jue. He just didnt want to become her beloved little brother and possibly die just like her last one. 

Instead of starting off as relatives, how about easing into just being friends first? Bing asked her. 

But hes too cute to be my friend. And when he grows up, I'll definitely be unable to resist the charm hell have then! Unless he becomes my little brother. My mom and dad said you cant love your family in that way or your babies will be freaks. And who even are you? Are you trying to stand between me and my little brother? Jue shared her thoughts without a filter. 

Im a friend of Runts. Bing answered. 

My Little Bro can speak for himself, right Little Bro? Jue locked her eyes on Runt. 

We should start as friends first. Runt rubbed the back of his head. He didnt want to be involved with her much at all with how shes acting. 

Sniff... Sniff! Tears flowed down her eyes. You... You... You dont love me...? Snot and more tears began to flow down her face. 

No. I barely know you. I dont mind being friends as long as you stop acting weird. Runt gave it to her straight. 

Being born in Dragon City didnt restrict his ability to speak his mind. A street rat was only polite when it was to their benefit. That benefit being food, saving their own life, or not getting involved with strong people. This girl that tried to latch onto him for some reason wouldnt be spared from his brute honesty. He wasnt a good person like Lei who did good things for people without getting appropriate payback. 

Waaaah! She cried her heart out but she stood closer to Runt. Ill, stop, acting, weird! Each break in her sentence was her sniffing her snot back up her nostrils. 

Uh... Im gonna go on stage now, master... Lin Shu took her exit. 

The next member of Heavens Angels to go up was Lin Shu, one of Lei Zhis disciples. Lei Zhi, Xiang, and a few of his arms wished her luck with a wave. Bing gave her a simple good luck. Runt was too busy trying to get away from Jue who seemed determined to latch onto him with her snotty and teary face. Realizing she wasnt going to go away, he frowned and took something out from his storage ring to wipe her face. 

Hello, Im Lin Shu and I have a spirit beast thatll help us if were ever injured. Lin Shu gave a polite bow to her teammates. 

Lei Zhi had a limited amount of time to teach his three students anything substantial that would help them in the finale. Most of his teaching was the students watching him practice his medical skills but he had a brief moment to teach them his main martial arts, Gods Fingers, and Xianqi, his movement art. Only Xiucai was able to learn something of Gods Fingers because of his background. Lin Shu and He Wenqing could only really learn Xianqi since they were taught in such a short time. 

Gods Fingers required the practitioner to know about the human body in extreme detail. It was almost impossible for anyone unable to directly see into the human body like Lei could with his auxiliary art. It would take years for them to reach the elementary realm in Gods Finger if they went about it the normal way. Lei Zhi said he planned to purchase them something that could help with studying and retaining knowledge. However, until he does it, theyre stuck learning about the human body from scrolls and watching him treat people while being lectured on exactly what hes doing to treat the patient. 

Lin Shu and He Wenqing thought it was the most boring thing ever to just sit and study all day but then they remembered just how filthy rich and strong they could get if they ever reach Lei Zhis skill. The mortal and cultivator world was always in need of more doctors. People couldnt really complain if a doctor was too expensive to hire because they were the only ones able to save your life when you need it. Of course, they never told Lei Zhi their greed for strength and wealth. Who knew what kind of lecture hed give them for having such selfish thoughts? 

Call me San. Im only really good at spinning this spear around. He gave a quick demonstration as he twirled his simple metal spear. 

Munan. He had to think for a minute. Im good at killing and bad at not killing. 

You do know we cant kill, right? Lin Shu asked him. 

Yeah, I know... A sad expression appeared on his face. 

How about this? Munan, you try your hardest to not kill the enemy team and if it looks like theyre about to die, I'll treat them with my spirit beast. San, you will fight with Munan and if you look like youre in trouble, I'll step in to help. Lin Shu planned. Just to check, San, youre not good at killing too, are you? 

I can avoid killing for sure. San gave her a thumbs up. 

Great. Looks like we have a plan. Lin Shu reached into her pocket and took out a black glowing capture bead.  

Multiple people stared in shock at the black aura around the capture bead. There were four colors that a capture bead could glow with. The color the capture bead glowed with depended on the talent or potential of the spirit beast inside. Bronze, silver, gold, and black. Bronze being the weakest and black typically being the strongest. With a burst of black light, a pink-colored shark with a strange little white hat on her head with a red cross on it appeared. It swam through the air without moving as if it was swimming in water. 

Her name is Muna! She really eager to treat injured people. Lin Shu had to emphasize this point. Really, really eager. She repeated. 

As long as she doesnt bite me, I'm good. San shared looking at the unusual spirit beast with confusion, fear, and admiration. 

She doesnt look like shell be killed easily... Munan sized up the spirit beast. 

She was more than twice his size and could easily tear him apart with those teeth. Hed probably die before he could even jab his knife into her fish skin. Munan turned his head. Trying to kill prey too strong would only lead to him being killed. How could he kill if he was dead? Not worth the effort. 

Fight! The elder started the match. 

Lin Shu moved in with her teammates. The other team charged in just like them as well. Munan was the fastest out of the three of them and directly ran into the other team. His knives went swinging everywhere as he didnt hold back or think of defending himself one bit. Lin Shu frowned at the suicidal moron as she hopped on top of Munan and pulled out her own knife before realizing this probably wasnt going to work out. Her knife was too short to hit anybody on top of Muna. Itd be better if she used Muna to ram into them than trying to use this knife. Maybe she could throw it? But then shed have no knife! 

Lin Shu decided to stay on the sidelines and watch Munan and San fight. The two of them did pretty well despite it being a 2 on 3. Mainly because of how ridiculously Munan fought with his two knives. He suffered cut after cut from either himself or the enemy. With how wildly he was swinging, Lin couldnt really tell. Has he even learned any martial arts? How did he get this far? 

The smell of blood from Munan and others reached Munas nose. She didnt growl, bark, or make any other noise because sharks dont have organs that can make sound in the way that humans do. Lei Zhi told her that after gifting her this shark to protect herself and others. Munas body began to slightly shake. Lin realized that she was in the mood to treat someone after sniffing the blood.  

As time passed in the battle, Lin was unable to hold Muna back anymore as she gave in to her instincts completely. Lin blasted off with the wind blowing her hair and clothes back during Munas rush towards the others. She could barely keep her eyes open while she held on for dear life. All she could hear was screaming around her and silence from those watching. 

It only took less than half a minute before silence overtook everything and Muna stopped swimming around. Lin Shu opened her eyes to see that everyone but herself was completely knocked out. Observing their unconscious bodies, she couldnt see any signs of wounds or even blood. She may have made a mistake bringing out Muna when she hasnt trained her all that well... 

Uh, did I win? Lin Shu asked the elders. 

Unfortunately, the elders decided no. Since her spirit beast attacked her teammates, she and her team failed. Lin tried to argue that her spirit beast helped them recover from their wounds but their decision did not change on the account of them being knocked out in the middle of battle from it. Lin clicked her tongue in annoyance before walking back to her group.  

Stupid elders... She cursed in her mind.
