After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Chapter 11 Senior

Such changes were not something Xu Ze deliberately trained for.

Rather, it is an instinct that the body has evolved to save itself when under extreme conditions!

After all, if he doesn't draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth to replenish himself... he'll be worn down to death!

After being chased by the giant stone ball all morning, just as Xu Ze reached his limit and collapsed,

Ding Wan withdrew her supernatural powers, leaving behind only a light, airy remark:

"We'll continue this afternoon."

Her voice was still clear and beautiful, but to Xu Ze, it sounded like the devil was whispering!

He rolled over, looked at the rolling stone that had finally stopped in front of him, lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily.

It took Xu Ze a full half hour for his wildly beating heart to gradually calm down.

Even in a game, the feeling of constantly teetering on the edge of life and death is unpleasant.

"Second Brother, what are you doing here all by yourself?"

During this time, only Xiao Li came to visit him on the mountainside and brought him a bowl of fragrant spirit rice.

"Playing ball, huh?" Xu Ze could only move his head, and he nodded his chin toward the boulder in front of him.

Seeing this, Xiao Li seemed to be deep in thought, and muttered to himself, "Today, my senior brother said that it was the mountain god's power that caused such a commotion. Is that really not the case?"

Today, the gatekeepers didn't shout slogans or do morning exercises; they were all inside worshipping the mountain god.

Little did they know that this "Wrath of the Mountain God" was merely the result of a female swordswoman flicking her finger.

"You believe everything he says?" Xu Ze couldn't help but remind him, "This guy is unreliable from beginning to end, don't listen to him."

Although he himself was currently powerless to protect himself, he couldn't bear to see the honest young man continue to be deceived.

The act of delivering the food even reminded Xu Ze of his dorm leader, Cheng Hao.

I vaguely remember that when he first enrolled, he had a girlfriend, a female college student. They were in a long-distance relationship for a whole year, and Cheng Hao was the only one who went to see her. He spent several thousand yuan just on train tickets.

Not only was she strapped for cash, but she also had to save the money she earned from part-time jobs on weekends to buy all sorts of gifts for her partner.

If she were truly a good girl, that would be one thing, but one day, her roommates discovered that she actually had another boyfriend in college...

Upon learning this, Cheng Hao bought a ticket overnight and stood outside the girls' academy all night. Perhaps he had figured it out, or perhaps he was simply exhausted, because he never mentioned the matter again after returning, as if his heart had been sealed with cement.

Why is it always the honest person who gets hurt?

Just because someone is easy to fool doesn't mean they deserve to be fooled, right?

“My senior brother knows a lot; he’ll definitely become an immortal.” Little Li’s dark eyes widened as he said earnestly, “Following him won’t be a loss.”

"He can't possibly become an immortal." Xu Ze rolled his eyes.

With a little strength restored, he picked up the rice bowl and slowly shoveled the rice into his mouth.

Xiao Li is a bit stubborn; once he's made up his mind, he won't easily change it. But he didn't care about Xu Ze's opinion of Sun Dehai; he just smiled and said as he left:

"Second Brother, keep playing ball. I'll bring you dinner tonight."

"..."

Watching his departing figure, Xu Ze's gaze was complex.

Time quickly passed to afternoon, regardless of how much Xu Ze had recovered.

Ding Wan arrived on time.

Immediately following were cries of agony and the rumbling of rolling boulders.

Xu Ze's muscles, which had just torn that morning, had barely recovered somewhat thanks to the nourishment of his internal energy, and yet he was engaging in such strenuous running...

The tangy sensation was indescribable.

However, under this devilish, hellish training, Xu Ze gradually found a trick.

The stone balls rolled along a very simple trajectory, and as long as he could seize the opportunity to leap over them from the trees or over the slopes, he could gain precious breathing time.

Ding Wan didn't say anything about his opportunistic method.

She still only said one thing: "Don't run, come at the stone."

At first, Xu Ze thought that this woman was taking revenge on him and wanted to kill him.

After being chased for several days, he finally understood what it meant.

Under such a massive amount of training and the pressure of life and death, his legs have become increasingly strong, and his jumping ability has reached an astonishing level.

He can now leap over rolling stone balls using only the explosive power of his legs, without relying on trees or slopes!

"When mortals have just completed the Qi Refining process, they are unaware that their bodies have undergone a transformation and often still use the thinking methods of mortals."

"Actually, for cultivators, there is nothing to fear about stone spheres of this height. They can leap over them if they want to."

Ding Wan's words resonated from the bottom of her heart.

Xu Ze gritted his teeth, looked at the five giant rocks lined up in a straight line in front of him, and leaped with all his might!

This jump sent him several meters off the ground.

It truly flew over the array of stone balls with the grace of a great roc spreading its wings!

More importantly, after the first experience, Xu Ze felt that these stones were nothing to be afraid of.

He stopped running away and instead took them as his sparring partners.

Later on, they were able to move freely through the mountains and forests to avoid these boulders without even needing to see or hear them.

"Well, he lacks talent, but he's not exactly stupid."

Ding Wan lay lazily on the chair, occasionally lifting her eyelids.

Days passed by like this.

The disciples of the preparatory sect had been worshipping the mountain god with Sun Dehai for several days in a row.

But they found that the so-called wrath of the mountain god not only did not subside, but intensified—because Xu Ze had been making more and more noise lately.

Finally, after Xiao Li accidentally revealed that "Second Brother was playing with a ball."

Unable to contain their curiosity, the members of the Preparatory Sect decided to go up the mountain to find out what was going on.

Sun Dehai continued to curse and swear as he tried to stop them:

"You're not allowed to go see! If the mountain god really punishes you, can you bear the consequences?!"

That being said.

But when the others went up the mountain in a large group, he couldn't help but follow them.

In the end what happened?

Sun Dehai also wanted to know.

When he saw what was happening before him, he had never doubted the meaning of life as much as he had in all these decades.

Xu Ze was strolling leisurely through the mountains, sometimes soaring into the sky, leaping over boulders, traversing mountains and rivers as if walking on flat ground.

The terrifying stone ball, which was as tall as two people, looked like a toy at his feet.

Xu Ze has mastered a new training method—he can now even step on it and move along with the rapidly rolling stone ball.

This not only strengthens your legs, but also improves your control and balance!

It will also be of great help for future sword flight.

"This……"

Seeing Xu Ze's figure, Sun Dehai stopped, a mixture of joy and sorrow on his face. He moved his lips but remained silent.

His attitude finally became respectful, and he clearly called out:

"senior!!"

Chapter 12 Playing with Ball

After calling him "senior," Sun Dehai knelt down with a thud.

Xu Ze knew that a pitifully thick barrier had already separated them.

Seeing that even the senior disciple leading the group had knelt down, the others, though still stunned by the scene before them, quickly reacted and knelt down as well.

"Congratulations to my second senior brother on his ascension to immortality!!"

Only someone who has become an immortal can explain how one can achieve this!

Although these people usually obeyed Sun Dehai's orders, they all came from different places and traveled thousands of miles to get here, and they always had only one goal in mind.

That's becoming an immortal!

Even though they weren't qualified to pass the Biyang Sect's selection, they didn't give up. In fact, their determination to seek the Dao was incredibly strong.

They originally thought that following Sun Dehai would eventually give them a chance to become immortals, but now that they see Xu Zexian has become an immortal, they have all changed their faith.

"Senior, please promote me to Elder and take charge of the Preparatory Sect!"

Sun Dehai, being a shrewd man, immediately asked Xu Ze to stay and become an 'elder'.

Although this preparatory sect is laughable, as long as there is an immortal in charge, how much worse can it be than those 'Taoist studies' in the mortal world?

Everyone's eyes lit up with hope as they stared intently at Xu Ze, as if afraid he would leave at any moment.

"Second Senior Brother..."

Only Xiao Li looked on with surprise, pondering the events of the past few days.

So, playing ball like this every day can turn you into an immortal?!

Xu Ze stood with his hands behind his back on the stone sphere, strolling leisurely. After a long while, he finally spoke quietly:

"I won't be leaving anytime soon."

But I don't like being disturbed either, so please don't have so many people coming next time.

Upon hearing Xu Ze's promise, Sun Dehai was overjoyed.
