Chapter 120: Le Caiwei’s Invitation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After sensing the threat, Le Caiwei raised her attention to the extreme.
Noticing that Xu Ning was getting ready to go on the offensive, she was ready to defend.
Bang!
Xu Ning threw out a double strength punch.
Le Caiwei used her forearm to block it.
‘Double the power!’
Le Caiwei’s pupils shrunk: ‘Sure enough, he was going easy on me before.’
‘But it’s not just that his punch is stronger, it’s…’
Just when Le Caiwei was about to fight back, Xu Ning punched out again.
He was still using double strength punches.
Le Caiwei’s eyebrows began to frown.
‘His explosive power suddenly doubled, but why is he still so fast?’
Xu Ning’s punching speed suddenly increased again.
The double strength punches completely wrapped Le Caiwei like a violent storm, leaving Le Caiwei with no chance to breathe.
‘Painful!’
This was Le Caiwei’s current feelings.
Her face and forearm were assaulted by a powerful force. She could feel them swelling up.
Le Caiwei wanted to fight back, but Xu Ning would not stop attacking. Everytime she tried to counterattack, her flaws would be revealed.
Suddenly, Le Caiwei’s arm flicked to the side.
Her defense was now wide open.
Xu Ning punched forward.
His fist barely stopped just when it was about to touch Le Caiwei.
A gust of wind blew away Le Caiwei’s messy hair.
‘This inner disciple is so strong.’
The chubby girl had been watching the spar from the sidelines all this time.
In her mind, Le Caiwei was one of the strongest inner disciples outside of the void realm.
But this new inner disciple easily surpassed Le Caiwei.
“What level is your void realm secret technique at?”
Le Caiwei flipped her hair behind her ears and looked at Xu Ning.
She was confused, surprised, and puzzled.
“Third level.”
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
“Third level…”
Le Caiwei bit her lip and a look suddenly flashed in her eyes.
‘Strong enough.’
Le Caiwei paused for a moment. She seemed to be adjusting her mental state. “You should hold back your strength, otherwise… I can’t defend myself.”
“Okay.”
Xu Ning would certainly meet the demands of his employer.
“Let’s continue practicing our punching techniques, but this time I will be on the offensive side.”
Le Caiwei said to her sparring partner.
“Sure.”
Xu Ning got into a defensive position.
Time flew by, and soon after, two and a half hours had passed.
It was already evening.
“That’s it for today.”
Le Caiwei stopped.
Le Caiwei was sweating. Her clothes were soaked, and her hair was stuck together.
At the end of it all, her aura was now in a disorderly state. She was obviously exhausted.
Xu Ning’s clothes were still clean, and he was calm as a cucumber. Looking at him, Le Caiwei felt a little frustrated.
“Go bring 100 contribution points.”
Le Caiwei looked at the chubby girl.
Soon after, the chubby girl brought a paper voucher worth 100 contribution points.
“For Xu Ning.”
The paper voucher was handed over to Xu Ning.
“This is your pay for the next ten days.”
Le Caiwei said, “Remember to come early tomorrow.”
“Sure.”
Xu Ning nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the 100 contribution point paper voucher.
It was refreshing to work with a generous employer.
“I will head off then.”
Xu Ning put away the paper voucher and was about to leave.
“Wait.” Le Caiwei called Xu Ning, “I’ve never seen you around before.”
“I just entered the inner sect today.”
Xu Ning explained.
“You became an inner disciple just today?”
Le Caiwei was obviously surprised.
Her eyes narrowed. She thought about it before asking, “Would you like to join the Seven Boxers?”
“Seven Boxers?”
Xu Ning was puzzled: “What do you mean?”
Le Caiwei explained truthfully, “The Seven Boxers is an organizational group within the inner sect.”
“The inner sect has a relatively relaxed environment, but because of this, it is difficult for individuals to be competitive. In order to make up for such personal weaknesses, some powerful inner sect disciples have formed their own minor forces.”
“The Seven Boxers was formed by Senior Brother Xiao Qiyun, and he is in the void realm third stage.”
Le Caiwei continued, “As long as you join the Seven Boxers, you will receive internal assistance from us. Besides strictly prohibited behavior, everyone will help each other.”
Xu Ning heard this and began to think.
But Xu Ning did not immediately agree to this.
Joining them would be convenient, but naturally there would also be constraints.
He had to collect more information before deciding whether to join or not.
“Thank you Sister Le for the invitation, but I have to think this over first.”
Xu Ning declined.
“Okay, you can think about it first.”
Le Caiwei did not force him.
Afterwards, Xu Ning bid farewell and left the Spring Moon Courtyard.
“Sister Caiwei, you seem to be very satisfied with this sparring session.”
The chubby girl brought a wet towel with warm water and gently wiped Le Caiwei’s cheeks.
“I am very satisfied.”
Le Caiwei nodded: “Xu Ning’s void realm punching technique is very clever. Whether it is offensive or defensive, he is excellent at both. No matter what kind of practice I need, he can meet my requirements.”
“It’s hard to find such a good sparring partner. Giving him ten contribution points a day is practically a steal.”
“Do you think he will join the Seven Boxers?”
The chubby girl asked.
“I’m not sure.”
Le Caiwei shook her head. “An ordinary disciple would definitely join the Seven Boxers instantly. But he probably won’t, unless the benefits tempt him.”
“For people like him, even if they don’t join an inner sect organization, they can still stand out in the inner sect and make a name for themselves.”
“But…”
Le Caiwei paused: “I will still try to get him, since I am not actively helping the Seven Boxers currently.”
“Before, Guo Yuechun and I were similar in strength, but recently, she managed to break through the void realm and start to squeeze me out of the Seven Boxers.”
Le Caiwei’s expression turned a little cold. “If I want to continue to stand on my two feet, I have to find a teammate, and Xu Ning is a good candidate. He is not only strong, but also young and sufficiently talented. He will be able to enter the void realm in a few years. By then, I will definitely enter the void realm as well. If Xu Ning is willing to support me, I will be qualified to fight for the next leader position of the Seven Boxers.”
The chubby girl listened and scratched her head. “So complicated.”
…
Xu Ning ate some food first before returning to his room.
Looking at the paper voucher that was worth 100 contribution points, Xu Ning had a smile on his face.
“Xu Ning, you are finally back.”
Gu Qinghe pushed open Xu Ning’s door.
His room was next to Xu Ning’s.
“What did you do this afternoon? Why haven’t I seen you around?”
Gu Qinghe walked in. “I wanted to go to the Mission Hall and look at the missions with you.”
“I already went to the Mission Hall.”
Xu Ning said, “I have already accepted a mission, and I even got paid.”
Xu Ning shook the paper voucher worth 100 contribution points.
“What?”
Gu Qinghe quickly grabbed the paper coupon in Xu Ning’s hand and took a closer look.
“What kind of mission gives you 100 contribution points in one afternoon?”
Gu Qinghe returned the paper voucher to Xu Ning and quickly asked.
“Sparring practice.”
Xu Ning explained: “I accompanied a senior sister to practice her void realm secret techniques. I make ten contribution points a day. This is my pay for the next ten days.”
Gu Qinghe was a little envious after hearing this: “Tomorrow I have to go to the Mission Hall and accept a mission.”
“What did you do this afternoon?”
Xu Ning asked casually.
“When you were away, I walked around by myself, got to know some people, and asked about the inner sect.”
Gu Qinghe replied.
“Asked about the inner sect…”
Xu Ning heard the words and asked, “Do you know about the Seven Boxers?”
“Seven Boxers?”
Gu Qinghe replied, “Of course I know, the Seven Boxers are one of the largest internal groups in the inner sect. They can even influence the decisions of inner sect deacons.”
“As far as I know, many of the new disciples want to join these internal organizations, but are not able to. Why do you ask? Do you want to join the Seven Boxers?”
Gu Qinghe asked casually.
“The senior sister who practiced with me, wants me to join the Seven Boxers.”
Xu Ning responded, “But I didn’t immediately agree.”
Gu Qinghe frowned and said, “Don’t you value this opportunity?”
“I heard that as long as you join the Seven Boxers, you will be given an extra Pure Source Pill every month by the Seven Boxers.”
Gu Qinghe said, “Moreover, as long as you can complete the internal missions, there will be additional rewards, and I heard the rewards of the missions are very generous.”
“In addition, if you are attacked by other people or other internal groups, Seven Boxers will take the initiative to help you. Apparently, Xiao Qiyun, the leader of the Seven Boxers, is a good leader.”
“I see…”
After hearing what Gu Qinghe said, Xu Ning was a little tempted.
Once he met Le Caiwei tomorrow, he would ask her about the details.
If the benefits were tempting enough, he would accept the invitation.
But if it took too much effort, then he wouldn’t.
…
The next day.
According to the agreement, Xu Ning went to the Spring Moon Courtyard for their sparring session.
Just like yesterday, he fought fiercely.
At noon, Le Caiwei suddenly waved her hand.
“Enough, that’s it for today.”
Xu Ning looked at Le Caiwei, who seemed a little tired. “Not practicing in the afternoon?”
“Enough.”
Le Caiwei said, “I still have some stuff to do this afternoon, and…”
Le Caiwei pulled up her sleeves.
Her two forearms, together with her fists, were completely red and swollen.
This happened yesterday as well. Le Caiwei even had to soak her arms in water to relieve the pain.
Now one day later, after more high-intensity training, the injuries on her arms had worsened.
Xu Ning was not tired at all.
Although he had suffered some injuries, his Flame Breath Bone Sutra had healed all of those injuries in no time.
“Next time I’ll go easy.”
Xu Ning said.
“No need, this is better.”
Le Caiwei responded.
Although Le Caiwei had only spent one day sparring with Xu Ning, she believed that her punching technique had improved.
Le Caiwei felt that if she practiced this way for a month, she would advance her void realm secret technique to level two.
“Sister Le, I want to ask some questions about the Seven Boxers.”
Xu Ning said.
When Le Caiwei heard Xu Ning say this, a flash of a smile appeared on her face.
She guessed that after Xu Ning left yesterday, he must have asked about the Seven Boxers.
“Go.”
“If I join the Seven Boxers, what will I receive, and what do I need to do?”
Xu Ning’s question was very direct.
“As long as you join the Seven Boxers, then every month, in addition to the one Pure Source Pill that the inner disciples receive, we will also give an extra Pure Source Pill.”
“In addition, if you have a problem in the inner sect, the Seven Boxers will take the initiative to help you solve the problem.”
Le Caiwei’s words were similar to what Gu Qinghe said yesterday.
Seeing that Xu Ning was not tempted, Le Caiwei said, “In addition to this, there are some smaller benefits. For example, in the Seven Boxers, Pure Source Pills and contribution points can be exchanged both ways. In terms of getting missions, the Seven Boxers will receive worthwhile missions that are not available to the public. These missions will be directly assigned to our internal group.”
“And what you need to do is to complete an internal group mission every month, which will also be paid.”
Le Caiwei said.
“Hmm…”
Xu Ning was still not too excited.
Judging from the current benefits, the gains from joining the Seven Boxers did not seem very obvious.
In addition to one more Pure Source Pill, he would receive more worthwhile missions, which slightly tempted Xu Ning.
After seeing Xu Ning hesitating, Le Caiwei thought about it and said, “This is only for beginners. There are internal classes in the Seven Boxers. If you reach a higher class, you can receive more Pure Source Pills and a higher degree of freedom.”
“Like?”
Xu Ning asked.
“With your strength, coupled with my help, you can reach Class Three. At Class Three, you’ll receive three Pure Source Pills every month!”
“Additionally, your degree of freedom will also increase. At that point, internal missions can be done once every three months, but the difficulty of those missions slightly increases.”
Le Caiwei’s conditions finally made Xu Ning somewhat satisfied.
Three more Pure Source Pills every month was worth 300 units of energy.
“If that is the case, I am willing to join the Seven Boxers.”
After thinking about this, Xu Ning made a decision.
“Okay!”
Le Caiwei smiled.
‘I introduced Xu Ning to the Seven Boxers.’
‘As long as I maintain a relationship with Xu Ning in the future, I will surely become friends with him.’
“I have to attend a meeting for the Seven Boxers this afternoon.”
Le Caiwei explained, “I recommend you to come.”
“By the way, if you want to reach a higher class, remember to show your greatest strength in the afternoon.”
Le Caiwei couldn’t wait to show those people her latest recruit.
