SCP Gacha System In A Cultivation World

Chapter 269: He Wenqing's Turn!

I guess I'm up next, huh? He Wenqing chuckled. 

... Xiucai nodded. He gave He a pat on the shoulder for good luck. 

Out of the three of them, He Wenqing was probably the weakest in Xiucais opinion. He sucked at comprehension, his talent for cultivation was barely acceptable, and he wasnt too good at using his head for important things. The only compliment Xiucai could give about him was that he had a strong body and was as stubborn as a farm animal. Xiucai didnt think that He could win his match on his own. 

Dont lose like I did or I'll make fun of you! One of us has to make our teacher look good. Lin Shu was devouring a small hand-sized cake next to Muna devouring a pile of half-eaten cakes. 

Heh, I dont plan to go out there and lose like you. He Wenqing walked toward the stage. But thanks anyway. A black bead shined in his hand. 

Idiot thinks he sounds cool but hes just going to go get his ass kicked... Lin Shu grumbled with her mouth full. 

We wont know until it's over. Lei patted Lin Shus head. For now, lets cheer him on.  

What do you think I was doing? Lin Shu muttered back. 

Hmm. Maybe I should get some cute little Burning Angels soon... Ying wondered. 

I dont think were ready for responsibility like that yet. Bing replied. 

Maybe. Ying didnt dismiss him like she usually would. If she had to watch over and teach some apprentices, shed have less time to spend with Bing. 

I think you two should wait a few decades before deciding to teach the next generation. Wan Qing added. 

What, why? Ying felt like she was being insulted. 

Agreed. Bing didnt feel like he was ready to do anything like that yet. His goals were simple and not complex at all. Adding little disciples to watch over and teach would be so tiring. 

Imagine shaping a living beings present and future to exactly what you desire or the opposite of that. Thats the responsibility that all teachers share everywhere. Wan shared. Their ideals, hopes, dreams, thoughts, actions. All are being molded and shaped by you as their teacher. 

Just so were clear, you are not saying Hu Tao is more fit to be a teacher than I am, right? Ying had to ask. 

... Wan couldnt answer this as easily as she thought. Who knows?  

Wan thought about how unlike Hu Tao Runt turned out. While it hasnt been long, it wasnt like Runt was a little monster like Hu Tao or nearly as unruly as Hu Tao is. Runt was pretty cute to Wan Qing. In the way, youd see a normal child. She kept her distance from him because he was Hu Taos student and may take on traits from him but so far, he was an angel in comparison to Hu Tao. 

Thats it. Im getting my own little Burning Angel. Ying decided, glaring at Runts back. 

Runt shivered as he felt Yings eyes on him. He chose to not turn around or say anything and stare off into the sky. An action that Bing felt was most wise as Bing expressed his sympathy for him. Well, for him and the poor sap that Ying finds as an apprentice. 

Well teach a kid far better than Hu Tao ever could! Ying heavily slapped Bings shoulder, nearly dislocating it. 

We? Confusion attacked Bings brain from all sides. How did Ying choosing to teach someone turn into them both teaching someone? Bing understood they were both angels but he had his own branch of Wandering Angels to eventually take care of! 

What? You dont wanna raise a pupil with me? Yings eyes dared him to disagree.  

... Bing felt wronged!  

Lei Zhi warned him about questions like those from women. The right answer was to not answer at all and just smile. Considering Lei knew women, Bing did as he was instructed! In a way, Bing idolized Leis wisdom about women. 

Hmph! Well teach the best damn pupil out of all the angels! Ying declared with pride after seeing Bings silly smile. 

Bings heart let out a breath of relief after seeing Leis advice work but he still didnt want to teach anyone. Hes just a Qi Gatherer! How could he be fit to teach anyone as he was now? He was still struggling along with his own cultivation technique. Bings barely comprehended the ways of the world and all of that junk! Didnt it take decades of experience, knowledge, and exploring before one was fit to pass on knowledge to the next generation to raise them up? 

It wont be as bad as your thinking. Lei gently patted him on the shoulder with multiple other arms of different species. It might even be fun, who knows? He chuckled. 

I can only hope... Bing sighed with a slight shiver, still slightly creeped out by the other creatures living inside Leis coat. 

Alright, Kuai! Lets show them how a Peaceful Angel really does it! He Wenqing shouted. 

He Wenqing rose his farming hoe with one arm over his shoulder as a beautiful but confusing being hovered next to him. 

I have never seen a woman so beautiful... 

What is that thing!? Why does she have a fishtail?! 

Is it possible for love to transcend race? 

Ive never seen a spirit beast that resembled so closely to a human... 

Even the elders were speechless at seeing Kuai. With the upper body of an adult woman and the lower body of a whale, it was no surprise everyone was surprised to see her. The Golden Serpent Sect wasnt near any large bodies of water like oceans. Creatures of the sea were mostly unknown to them. So, the sight of Kuai wasnt one of impossibility but one of awe and disbelief. So, there were also spirit beasts like this... 

Kuai only showed curiosity at why so many humans were staring at her with varying expressions. She gently blew into her silver flute and a soundless melody escaped from it as it flowed into He Wenqings body. To those sensitive to the flow of qi, they would be able to see He Wenqings qi raging like a furious river. The top of his robes burst into pieces and revealed his muscular-toned upper body. 

I have a spare sword if you need one... Teammate A gave He a look. 

No need. I have no talent with the sword and found this hoe treats me best. He Wenqing refused. 

Just dont get knocked out too quickly, idiot. Teammate B didnt care either way. 

The match started and the three of them charged toward their opponents who did the same. It was a straight-up 3v3. He Wenqing made the first impression by swinging his hoe into the stage and splitting it apart into multiple spiderweb cracks. Everyone, including his teammates, leaped from the stage when this happened. He Wenqing grinned as he swung his hoe multiple times at the airborne enemies, firing waves of hoe-shaped qi from the ground. 

Share some with them two, please. He Wenqing told Kuai. 

Kuais silent song changed tempo and Teammate A and Teammate B felt reenergized with qi. He Wenqing kept the enemies busy with his hoe and tossed parts of the stage at them while they were falling. 

Thanks! Teammate A exclaimed, his sword glowing with fire. 

That spirit beast isnt half bad... Teammate B complimented with a look of greed reflected in his eyes. His entire body softly glowing with qi. 

The two dropped to the ground and immediately sped off toward the distracted enemies deflecting, blocking, and trying to avoid He Wenqings attacks. After seeing them speed off ahead, He Wenqing stop attacking from a distance and joined their combined rush by running forward. His body radiating with sheer power and qi. A feat unusual for cultivators unless they were making their last stand. 

The amount of qi that Wenqing was releasing was at maximum. No cultivator is able to go 100% at all times. At least, no normal cultivator can. Its too much a drain on ones qi reserves. Cultivators regulate how much power theyre using when fighting. If they use too much qi during a fight, their power decreases significantly. It also makes it easier for them to get killed. While additionally making it exponentially more difficult to escape if they need to save their lives and run. 

It was a mystery for those without acute qi sensing abilities to how Wenqing was able to use so much power for so long. But those who did understood exactly how. Kuais flute was the key. Kuais flute turned sound into qi and qi into sound. She could control both spectrums of sound and qi with the flute as a medium. It wasnt just Teammate B who looked at Kuai with a look of longing and desire. There were several cultivators wanting to take her for themselves, her flute, or both.
