I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 72 - 71: Witch

Luo Jun discovered that after Li Xing no longer held back her Primordial Spirit, her combat power indeed increased significantly. If not for her rich battle experience, Li Xing would have been quite challenging to deal with.

What annoyed her even more was that, despite Li Xing being completely unconcerned about the consumption of her Primordial Spirit, her Fire Elemental Spirit seemed inexhaustible and repeatedly created miracles. After all this time, not only did it not weaken, but she got braver as she fought.

Using a dizzying spin to force Li Xing to back up, Luo Jun waved her delicate hand, and countless metal butterflies appeared out of thin air.

"Go——!"

With Luo Jun’s command, the wings of the butterflies, as thin as golden paper, turned into deadly hidden weapons, shooting toward Li Xing.

"Boom——" The Three Thousand Lotus Flames surged, protecting Li Xing behind a wall of fire. The metal butterflies melted before reaching their target.

"Hou Yi’s Golden Arrow——!"

Luo Jun launched another Elemental Attack, thousands of metal arrows appeared out of thin air, whistling through the air towards Li Xing’s location.

The Three Thousand Lotus devoured them again, but the speed and power of the golden arrows surpassed that of the metal butterflies. Before being melted by the Abnormal Fire, quite a few passed through the fire wall, aimed at Li Xing.

Li Xing swung the Heavenly Wolf Saber, knocking down each golden arrow, and simultaneously discreetly flicked a finger towards Luo Jun while using her body and weapon as a cover.

Luo Jun was about to launch a third Elemental Attack when a sudden sense of danger arose in her heart, prompting her to tiptoe and leap upwards, but it was already too late.

A vine as thick as a python emerged from the ground, entwining Luo Jun’s ankle, threatening to crush her leg bone in the next second. Luo Jun snorted coldly, burst her Elemental Power, and shattered the vine.

A broken section of the vine, like an injured octopus tentacle, writhed while retreating to Li Xing’s feet, while Luo Jun looked at her with a cold face.

Li Xing hooked her finger, and the vine seemed to have intelligence, crawling back into her hand and coiling into a motionless ball. Li Xing flipped her hand and stored the Python Vine, saying to Luo Jun:

"Teacher Luo, I used the Wood Element Spirit to stimulate the Python Vine seed, ambushing it under your feet for an attack. That’s not breaking the rules, right?"

Luo Jun’s face turned unsightly; how could she have forgotten Li Xing also had the Wood Element Spirit? She had been careless.

"Again!"

Li Xing quickly shook her head: "Teacher Luo, you just said that as long as I touched you, I’d win. I’ve already won." Although the Python Vine didn’t injure Luo Jun, it did indeed touch her, and everyone present saw it.

Luo Jun: "..."

The onlooking students’ eyes sparkled. She won? Li Xing won!

If they weren’t afraid of Luo Jun’s revenge, designating them as the next opponent, the students would have cheered by now. Li Xing was also very pleased. Although the process was quite embarrassing, finally winning a little was progress.

Luo Jun’s face became frighteningly cold:

"Alright, this time I’ll admit defeat. Now students are free to form teams, battle in pairs, and practice precision control. In my class, I’m in charge; even if the Emperor of Heaven comes, he must practice precision control before leaving. If I catch anyone’s Primordial Spirit exploding for any reason, they’ll be punished to run fifty kilometers with weights after class!"

The students quickly formed teams and began practicing in class.

Li Xing eagerly waited for someone to team up with her, but since she was the one who defeated Teacher Luo, no one wanted to risk getting abused, and everyone avoided her. Coincidentally, the number of students was odd, leaving Li Xing out.

"Oh——! Li Xing, no one wants to team up with you?" Luo Jun’s gloating voice sounded behind her: "You really don’t have a good rapport! In that case, I’ll practice with you!"

Li Xing sighed and turned around.

"Then I’ll trouble Teacher Luo."

"It’s no trouble for me, but it will be for you, hahaha!"

Li Xing: o(╥﹏╥)o

For the rest of the class, Luo Jun used the threat of a fifty-kilometer weight run, so Li Xing had no choice but to fight conservatively, and being cautious resulted in getting thrashed.

She did train her body, but her divine skills had not yet fully developed; right now, she could only endure a beating, which didn’t mean it didn’t hurt after being hit by a Heavenly Armor expert.

At noon, Li Xing limped into the cafeteria to meet up with Ye Qingting and the others. Seeing her looking so disheveled, Ye Qingting chivalrously pulled out a chair for her and asked, "What class was it to end up like this?"

Li Xing grimaced as she sat down and answered, "Teacher Luo’s practical combat class."

"The witch Luo Jun?" Cui Tianxiao made a face of agony: "Her class is truly a nightmare. Back in the day, Qingting and I often had our butts kicked by her in public, and for a long time, we even had to sleep on our stomachs."

Ye Qingting’s eye twitched, as if remembering that excruciating pain: "To be precise, every student of a Heavenly Armor-level Primordial Spirit has had their butt kicked by Luo Jun. The more outstanding you are, the harder she kicks."

It turned out Luo Jun had used such heavy hands on others as well, not just targeting her, which made Li Xing feel a bit more balanced inside.

"But on the bright side, Luo Jun’s martial arts is the best in Harssas. If you can endure a semester, you’ll definitely benefit a lot."

Li Xing felt like crying; without a comparison, there is no harm. Compared to the perverted Luo Jun, Yang Zhou was just a gentle rabbit.

"Sister Xing, there’s an advanced talisman analysis class in the afternoon. Do you want to audit...?"

"I do!"

After finishing the meal, Li Xing hurried back to the dorm to shower and change, then followed Qi Ming to the Rune Master Department.

Wen Dao had already notified the head of the Rune Master Department about Li Xing’s auditing, so the teachers knew, but the students didn’t. When she showed up, everyone assumed she had the wrong classroom.

A chubby round-faced girl quietly reminded, "Li Xing, the Martial Arts Department’s classrooms are in Building 13."

Li Xing had double black features, was good-looking, and had the halo of the Double Heaven Armor, making her face well-known now.

"I know, I’m just here to audit the talisman class."

After speaking, Li Xing gave the surprised girl a harmless smile and calmly sat down next to Qi Ming.

The reserve school talisman masters had spiritual power, so although Li Xing and the girl’s conversation was in a low voice, the people in the know heard it clearly.

Soon, whispers filled the classroom, and various spiritual powers brazenly swept towards Li Xing, with some being particularly intrusive.

Qi Ming frowned, as those spiritual powers rudely even swept over him, making it unpleasant.

"Sister Xing, don’t worry, some talisman masters... are exclusive, petty."

A prestigious profession with high entry barriers suddenly had someone not quite qualified wanting to audit; people who were used to pride and arrogance wouldn’t be okay with it.

Li Xing smiled; she could understand why some people felt that way seeing her, but Li Xing wasn’t meek. The more unwelcome they made her feel, the more determined she was to stay and irritate them.

"Qi Stammer, who allowed you to sit in the front row? Get to the back!" A tall, thin, gloomy-faced double black boy stood next to Qi Ming but was glaring at Li Xing.

"Why can’t I sit here?" Qi Ming was puzzled. This is an auditorium classroom with no fixed seating, and all empty seats are free to sit in, with no concept of taking someone else’s seat.

"No reason, just looking at you annoys me, get to the last row!"

This boy, Liu Yuan, came from a talisman master family and, to be specific, had some links with Qi Family, which was also a talisman master family. Liu Yuan had known Qi Ming since they were little but they never got along and couldn’t see eye to eye.

Liu Yuan was the most talented talisman master in his family, highly valued, but if elders do not strike the right balance, their attention can easily turn into pampering.

This Liu Yuan was a child raised in indulgence, overbearing and prone to bullying.
