Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Li Fuyao didn't hold back at all when she slapped him. The guard's head tilted to the side, and a small handprint quickly appeared on his face.

He covered his face in astonishment, meeting Li Fuyao's provocative gaze. His eyes were filled with a mixture of anger and seriousness, and his teeth were grinding together. However, he was wary and dared not act as ruthlessly as before.

The guard turned to look at Yu Zhenzhen and her group outside the barrier, whose expressions were equally grave. After receiving a signal from his young mistress and the old man, he glared fiercely at Li Fuyao, his anger rekindling.

"What a cunning girl! She dares to conceal her spiritual root attribute. What is she trying to do with such sneaky behavior?!"

"I'll expose your true colors today!"

The guard roared, his golden light intensifying, and he brandished his sword, attacking Li Fuyao once more. With his spiritual power pushed to its limit, even the tip of his sword emitted bursts of dazzling golden light.

Amidst the howling wind, a sword cry as sharp as a dragon and as powerful as a tiger rang out. The long sword seemed to transform into a giant golden python, lunging at Li Fuyao!

Seeing the monstrous python attack, Li Fuyao showed no panic whatsoever; on the contrary, she was secretly delighted.

This is exactly what she wanted to see!

The more intense the battle, the better she can gather information about the possession by spiritual energy.

Because her goal was to understand the secrets of spiritual possession, she did not confront it head-on, but instead used the Shadow Step to dodge away as lightly as willow catkins in the wind.

The Shadow-Concealing Step is a technique taught to me by Ye Wuxin.

After Li Fuyao diligently cultivated, how could any guard catch up with her?

She moved freely through the dense sword energy, not only dodging gracefully and perfectly timed each time, but also having time to unleash a few level 3 basic attacks.

Those few basic attacks were tricky in angle and powerful enough to be annoying, but they were more like blocking trouble than getting hurt. This made the guard's anger rise even higher, and his face turned from black to red, which was quite a sight.

During the fight, he pressed forward relentlessly and refused to let go.

Time was not wasted. During the entanglement, Li Fuyao noticed that when the guard possessed spiritual power, not only was his physical strength enhanced, but his attacks also carried a sharp edge from the metal elemental spiritual power.

Does this mean that spirit possession can not only provide multiple shields with attributes, but also enchant attacks?

Li Fuyao's heart stirred, and as if she could predict the trajectory of the sword energy, she slid out from the opening, while feeling the flow of spiritual energy in her body and trying to imitate the guard's state.

Guiding spiritual energy to various parts of her body is not an easy task, especially since she also has to focus on fighting now.

Fortunately, Li Fuyao has always had a good understanding in this area, and she tried the fire elemental power that she was most familiar with.

After a few attempts, she soon felt a warm power surging from within her body, as if an invisible shield was enveloping her.

Become!

Li Fuyao was overjoyed. As she dodged, she raised her hand and saw a faint red light emanating from her body. Although it was not as dazzling as that of the guard, it was enough to prove that she had activated the skill of spiritual power possession.

In the eyes of all the cultivators below the stage, it was perfectly normal for Li Fuyao to possess a body with spiritual power.

As for the dim light of the spirit power that possessed her body, which seemed unskilled, everyone automatically attributed it to her young age and insufficient practice time. Apart from Bai Suifeng, who knew her background, none of the cultivators present noticed that Li Fuyao had secretly learned a master.

However, the guard who had his skills stolen was not feeling too good at the moment.

Fire can overcome metal, and the guard was already annoyed and furious by the slippery Li Fuyao. When her fire-attribute spiritual power possessed him, he suffered even more in the fight, and even used his earth-attribute control techniques without any regard for appearances.

But as the fight went on, he sensed something was wrong:

Perhaps because she was exhausted from dodging, this little girl's dodging became much less smooth, and it even seemed as if she was deliberately running into her own sword blade.

Thinking that although the spiritual energy reserves of dual-spiritual-roots individuals were far less vast than those of mixed-spiritual-roots individuals, his actual cultivation level was far higher than that of this little girl, the guard's eyes lit up:

After fighting for so long, even he felt his spiritual energy was being depleted, let alone Li Fuyao, who was a true mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Judging from this little girl's performance, she definitely doesn't have enough energy left right now!

So what if her identity is unusual? She just seriously offended her young mistress.

If I take advantage of her depleted spiritual power and press on to inflict a crushing defeat on her, the young lady will surely reward me handsomely, and might even speak well of me to the head of the family!

Thinking this, the guard believed he had guessed the correct answer, and his spirits lifted, his hand wielding the sword regained its strength.

"May your house be filled with gold and jade!"

With a loud shout, he spun around, releasing earth element to bind Li Fuyao's legs, preventing her from escaping, while simultaneously brandishing his longsword rapidly.

The gleaming longsword transformed into a golden rain of swords, pouring down on Li Fuyao as if it were about to drown her.

Seeing this, Li Fuyao quickly drew a mouthful of spiritual spring water from his spatial storage and put it in his mouth. While thinking about how this was different from fighting directly in the spring water of the canyon, he mobilized all his spiritual power and unleashed an explosive surge.

The fire elemental power surrounding her surged dramatically, as if it had consumed natural gas, shining brightly like a pale blue sun.

The faintly blue flames not only instantly swallowed up the seemingly menacing rain of swords, but the expanding heat also sent the guard flying like a kite with a broken string against the barrier wall.

Li Fuyao, as if the firewood in the stove had come to life, was engulfed in flames and pounced after him, unleashing a barrage of powerful blows with his Fire Spirit Enchanted Sharp Gold Palm.

Spiritual possession is usually used for defense, but what kind of defense works like this?!

This domineering and exaggerated scene left the onlookers dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.

"Now, surely no one will doubt that her identity is truly extraordinary?"

The cultivator who was closest turned around, his eyes glazed, and murmured to his companion beside him:

"Heaven above, I have truly seen the light today!"

Once someone started it, others joined in the discussion, with many curious about Li Fuyao's true identity and other methods.

Just as everyone was making a fuss, someone on the side of the stage suddenly exclaimed. Everyone fell silent and looked over. They saw that the guard was indeed a veteran of many battles. Even though he was at a disadvantage, he quickly found a way to break the deadlock.

He switched the spirit power of the possessed body to earth to repel Li Fuyao, and then changed his sword moves from piercing to slashing, each move heavy and fierce as he attacked him.

Li Fuyao was not to be outdone. Since she had multiple attributes, she would use wood against the opponent's earth element.

Spiky vines, like man-eating beasts, surged from her palms; cutting one off would cause two more to grow, continuously wrapping around and binding the guard.

Once it got close to him, it immediately released tentacle-like roots, parasitically drilling into the guard's earth-elemental spiritual power.

Now that the guard was desperate, he no longer underestimated his opponent and launched an even fiercer attack. His longsword flashed with golden light, attempting to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

He couldn't believe that after years of hard training, he was now at a disadvantage against a little girl who hadn't even finished losing her baby teeth.

However, Li Fuyao is a very vengeful person. Because this person had previously threatened to break her leg, she was unwilling to give him any face at this moment.

She had dodged and feigned weakness earlier to study the spiritual possession technique, but now that she had learned a skill that interested her, she immediately started to harbor malice and black water. Whenever she saw that the guard was about to gain the upper hand, she would immediately shout "Wind and Thunder United" and throw a storm ball the size of a noseball at him.

Metal is an electrical conductor, and the guard was wearing clothes that had been soaked after he shattered the water shield. This caused him to twitch from the electrical conductivity every time he was hit by a storm ball.

With attribute points far exceeding those of a normal cultivator, Li Fuyao swung his Sharp Golden Palm while raising his tetanus hammer, which was burning red, and then added a few seconds of stun control, beating the guard until he couldn't even admit defeat.

He was forced to release the suppression of his cultivation level, which is why he was bounced out of the barrier with a bruised and swollen face because his cultivation level exceeded the limits of the arena.
