Chapter 100: The Trio’s First Battle

Su Yu and the other two were walking through the Secret Realm when Ke Qiao looked at Ling Wanqing and said, "Miss Ling, I still don't know where you are from?"

Ling Wanqing thought for a moment. "I came from the Divine Wind Dynasty. I heard there was a Zither cultivator Secret Realm here, so I rushed over."

"Is that so? The Divine Wind Dynasty is quite far from here. Brother Su and I are both from the Profound Heaven Sect."

Ling Wanqing feigned surprise. "The Profound Heaven Sect? That is one of the Eight Great Sects. You two are quite impressive. With the Profound Heaven Sect as your background, doing other things must be convenient."

"Oh, Miss Ling, you flatter us. Brother Su and I don't have any significant privileges. Neither of us would even rank on the list within the Profound Heaven Sect."

"If something major were to happen, the Sect wouldn't necessarily go to great lengths for the two of us."

"If Brother Su and I had good talent, it would be a different story."

"Take Ye Lin from our Profound Heaven Sect, or those two with the Heavenly Spiritual Root. You must have heard of the three of them even in the Divine Wind Dynasty."

"Especially that Ye Lin; his reputation is too resounding right now. It is said that it won't be long before he reaches the Soul Transformation stage."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "I have heard of those three. Now, basically everyone in the Southern Region knows Ye Lin; his stories are circulating everywhere."

How could she not know Ye Lin? She had seen him many times and still had some impression of him.

To be able to reach the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm at around one hundred years old.

"In the Southern Region today, who has reached the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm without Cultivating for nearly a thousand years, or even longer?"

Yet Ye Lin has achieved such a feat today.

She had a slight impression of him when she first went to the Profound Heaven Sect; after all, he had fought against her disciple at that time.

He wasn't exactly stunning back then, and she hadn't taken him to heart at the time; she only thought he was someone with some talent.

The only thing that shocked her back then was that Innate Sword Body.

Although that Innate Sword Body's achievements now are not bad, compared to Ye Lin, his overall conditions are still quite a bit behind.

After all, Ye Lin reached this point with a Dual Spiritual Root. More Cultivators use him as a goal to motivate themselves.

Her disciple would also complain to her, saying that Ye Lin was too monstrous. Now, she had absolutely no chance of winning against Ye Lin; it would be good enough just to last a few hundred rounds.

The Profound Heaven Sect has truly struck gold. Just this one Ye Lin brings unimaginable benefits to the Profound Heaven Sect.

Many newcomers join the Profound Heaven Sect because of Ye Lin, and his existence adds a top-tier combat force to the Sect. If Ye Lin breaks through to Soul Transformation, his combat power will likely be unimaginable.

Coming back to her senses, Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu and Ke Qiao. "These Geniuses are indeed beyond our reach."

"I remember that after your great battle with the Yao Race, another Prodigy appeared in the Profound Heaven Sect named Leng Jiahang. He also made quite a name for himself back then."

Ke Qiao nodded. "Miss Ling is right. The spotlight on Leng Jiahang from our Sect has indeed been very bright recently, and his Cultivation speed is also quite fast."

"It is said that he also takes Senior Brother Ye Lin as his goal."

"Sigh, we can only watch others. The three of us are just Cultivators of the Golden Core Stage. Without reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, we don't count as having any great ability. We can't even see the backs of those Prodigies."

"But there aren't many people in the world who can reach the Nascent Soul Stage. Whether the three of us can reach the Nascent Soul Stage and appreciate the scenery above is still an unknown."

"Fortunately, I am quite satisfied with life as it is now."

Su Yu looked at Ke Qiao, truly unable to bear telling the truth to discourage him.

Su Yu also didn't know what Ling Wanqing was thinking right now.

Could that kid Ye Lin be compared to an ordinary person? A Child of Destiny is not a joke.

The three of them chatted while searching for supplies.

Soon, a Yao Beast of the early Golden Core Stage appeared before the three of them.

This Yao Beast was guarding a Spirit Medicine. The grade of this Spirit Medicine was not low, and for those at the Golden Core Stage, its value was considerable.

Su Yu also saw the Spirit Medicine. Rather than saying the Yao Beast was guarding it, it was more like the Spirit Medicine grew near the Yao Beast's nest.

Su Yu didn't mind; after all, this was only a Golden Core Middle Stage Yao Beast. Even if the three of them were ordinary, they could still defeat this Yao Beast.

Besides, Ke Qiao was at least at the Golden Core Middle Stage. Even if he was a bit lackluster, he and Ling Wanqing could assist.

It might be tricky for Ke Qiao to deal with this Yao Beast alone, but with the two of them there, there wouldn't be any problems.

Ke Qiao looked at the Yao Beast in front of him—Golden Core Middle Stage.

"That's good. I didn't expect to encounter a Golden Core Middle Stage Yao Beast right away, but fortunately, it's not a Late Stage Golden Core Yao Beast."

Otherwise, they would only have the option to run. With him here to handle this Golden Core Middle Stage Yao Beast, plus Su Yu and Ling Wanqing, it shouldn't be a big problem.

If they couldn't hold on, he could help them in time.

Ke Qiao looked at Su Yu and Ling Wanqing. "Brother Su, Miss Ling, rest assured. With me here, it won't be a problem for the three of us to join forces against this Yao Beast."

"I will take the lead, and you two provide cover and distract the Yao Beast. I will then deliver the fatal blow to this Yao Beast."

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing exchanged glances. "No problem, Brother Ke. We will buy you time."

Su Yu looked at Ke Qiao. "You need to be quick. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Ling Wanqing watched the two of them; this kind of behavior was something she had never experienced before.

This experience was quite novel to her, and these two people were actually quite interesting.

As for whether there would be any danger, that didn't exist. With her here, if there was an accident, she would intervene secretly.

The two of them could fight the Yao Beast without holding back; she would have their backs anyway.

But she felt that this Yao Beast wouldn't require her to intervene secretly; the strength of the three of them was enough.

Ke Qiao looked at the Yao Beast before him, took a breath, and drew his long sword.

"Brother Su, I'm going in. Act according to the situation."

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing nodded.

The Yao Beast looked at the three people in front of it and knew this would be a fierce battle. If all three were early Golden Core Stage, it would be fine, but the key was that there was one in the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Seeing how the three of them looked, they wouldn't let it go easily.

The Yao Beast looked ferocious, staring at Ke Qiao.

It didn't bother with any more nonsense. It knew that even if it handed over the Spirit Medicine, they wouldn't let it go, so it didn't waste any breath.

It could only fight for its life.

It let out a deafening roar at Ke Qiao. People nearby also heard the Yao Beast's roar and turned to look in their direction.
