Chapter 219: Karma

Spatial Battlefield.

Ye Wanwan was the last to enter.

Upon entering, the abundant spiritual energy around Ye Wanwan also surprised her, as it didn’t feel like a battlefield.

It was more like a normal Spatial Realm.

There was a city in front and a forest behind.

People were coming and going, there were even commoners, and the familiar sounds of hawking and selling.

“This is a battlefield?”

Ye Wanwan’s eyes were filled with confusion, had she entered the wrong Spatial Realm? If someone said this was Lin City, she would believe it.

Even the buildings were grand.

With over ten thousand participants, each disciple’s teleportation point was different. Therefore, at this moment, some, like Ye Wanwan, were sent near a city, causing them to be confused and bewildered.

But as the tokens lit up and voices sounded, everyone understood what was happening.

“In a point competition, you must first earn points, and the way to earn points is hidden around you.”

“This is a battlefield, but the predecessor of the battlefield was not a battlefield; before it was a battlefield, it was an ordinary city that needs your protection, needs your help. So, if you want to get points, children, use your wisdom to discover them, use your abilities to obtain them. Opportunities are hidden all around you.”

“We will not tell you; everything depends on your own eyes to discover.”

“We will only give you a simple hint: everyone can go to the nearest city to find opportunities, but remember, you cannot expose your identity as a cultivator within the city, nor can you use magic to harm the commoners. Although this is a spatial battlefield, it is no different from the mortal world. If you use cultivation techniques to harm the commoners in the city, you will be directly eliminated!”

“Can we use combat strength then?”

Xu Yangzi: “…Who asked?”

Ye Wanwan: “I did.”

Xu Yangzi: “…” Oh, it’s her.

Ye Wanwan scanned the commoners walking around and said calmly, “I am a cultivator, but before being a cultivator, I am also a person. If I am threatened and cannot use immortal arts to resolve it, can I resolve it in a normal human way? It’s not like cultivating immortality makes me worse than a normal person.”

Xu Yangzi glanced at Pei Xuan and indeed saw Pei Xuan looking at him. He cleared his throat, “Normal mortal methods are acceptable.”

Ye Wanwan: “Okay, I have no more questions.”

Xu Yangzi: “…” Why do I feel like there are many questions?

Xu Yangzi wanted to ask, but found that Ye Wanwan had directly cut off contact. His expression changed for a long time as he pondered a question, “Is my Spirit Communication Formation broken? Why can a disciple unilaterally contact me?”

“And unilaterally cut off?”

It was Zhang Heyu who seemed to have discovered something and handed him a cup of tea, comforting him, “Senior Brother, calm down.” As long as it’s Ye Wanwan, it’s normal.

Xu Yangzi’s mood was complicated.

Is this still human? Damn it.

Opportunity lies ahead.

With this thought, Ye Wanwan entered the city without hesitation.

There were guards at the city gate, everything was no different from the normal mortal world. Ye Wanwan queued up to enter the city; the participant token was their identity.

Ye Wanwan successfully entered the city.

The city was even more lively, with hawkers everywhere and passersby stopping to look.

But where were the points?

There were none.

But Ye Wanwan wasn’t in a hurry. She strolled through the city, observing the myriad aspects of human life. She spent a full three days in the city, doing nothing.

The others in the audience seats found it very strange.

“How are the rules this time so deeply hidden.”

Xu Yangzi stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Everything has its destiny.”

Qing Li: “…These old men are just putting on an act.”

After three days, most of the disciples had arrived at the nearest city, but there was still no clue about the points, and no one was on the ranking list.

It was completely empty.

Some people started to ask, “What exactly are these points?”

But Xu Yangzi and the others refused to say.

And at this moment, a name climbed up the ranking list.

Everyone’s gaze shifted instantly.

“Li Wanzhi.”

Everyone’s expression froze.

“This?”

Someone anxiously asked, “What’s going on? How did he get points?”

Even Lu Qingxuan and Xun Yin were surprised.

The water screen quickly focused the image on Li Wanzhi’s location, and rapidly traced back three days. They saw this young man enter Golden City, stroll around, and soon squat down at the city gate with a bowl in front of him.

“Please, esteemed elders, sirs, madams, and young ladies, take pity.”

Everyone almost burst out laughing.

“What is he doing?”

“He’s begging, can’t you see?”

He was begging, but no one expected it.

Li Wanzhi sat down openly to beg. Of course, before he did, he made some preparations: he changed into old clothes, rolled up his pant legs, and his face was dirty.

This attire was unusual, but also somewhat familiar.

Everyone looked at Xun Yin, then at Li Wanzhi, and immediately understood.

“So the inspiration came from here.”

Xun Yin: “…”

Lu Qingxuan couldn’t help but laugh, “This brat.”

Li Wanzhi begged at the city gate for a whole day. He was handsome, and when he put on a pitiful expression, his eyes were quite convincing. Soon, he received one copper coin.

He quickly stood up and grasped the commoner who gave him the copper coin, “Auntie, I am stranded here because of misfortune. This begging is a last resort, but I, Wanzhi, remember your one copper coin, and I will repay you a thousandfold another day.”

“Your kindness will not be forgotten.”

The young man’s sincere and earnest words made the auntie pause in astonishment, but Li Wanzhi had already taken a copper coin and left.

He went straight to the town and gave the copper coin to a farmer in exchange for two eggs.

With the eggs in hand, he put them in his embrace.

Then he dashed out of the city again.

Everyone watched him rush into the woods. He searched everywhere, and in no time, he found a wild chicken’s nest hidden in the dark.

He found the nest and laid down the eggs.

Then he quietly left.

Everyone didn’t understand, “Is this kid stupid? There are a batch of eggs in that wild chicken’s nest, why didn’t he just take them?”

“Yeah, and he even used a copper coin to exchange for them.”

“We don’t understand, let’s keep watching.”

After putting down the eggs, Li Wanzhi left. He first dug up some medicinal herbs in the forest, then re-entered the city, and found the same farmer who sold him the eggs.

“Auntie, when I left this morning, I noticed your legs were not convenient. I learned some medicinal herb identification techniques from my senior brother. If you wash and mash these herbs and apply them to the sore spot, you’ll be better tomorrow.”

The auntie busily tried to stuff things into his hands to thank him, but Li Wanzhi politely declined, “Auntie, no rush, use them first. If they work well, I’ll bring you more tomorrow.”

“…I remember he just took a big handful, didn’t he?”

The crowd: “Yes…”

Li Wanzhi’s words were airtight, and he persuaded the farmer, but as he was leaving, the farmer still pressed a handful of things into his hands.

It wasn’t much, just some food.

But Li Wanzhi refused, saying, “Auntie, if you have any unwanted quilts at home, could you lend me one? It’s cold, and sleeping on the street is not very comfortable.”

Everyone: “…”
