My Fairy Growth System

Yu Qingtan wasn't surprised that Yamamoto Jiro would come looking for her.

Many had witnessed her pursuing and killing those Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Sakura Island, and later she had frequently used the trophy, the Green Xuan Turtle Spirit Shield, in public.

But she didn't care, a few rogue cultivators from Sakura Island, slaughtered, were merely slaughtered.

Among the spoils of war, other than the Green Xuan Turtle Spirit Shield, there wasn't much of value, but it was still worth quite a few Spirit Stones.

The rogue cultivators of Sakura Island in the Southeast Region had always been restless, often harassing the coastal areas—this was still the case now that Sakura Island lacked a Divine Transformation Cultivator.

Thousands of years ago, a genius emerged from Sakura Island, who succeeded in Divinity Transformation and united the island. After several hundred years of development, they waged war on the Southeast Region, at one point occupying one-tenth of its territory.

Therefore, Cultivators from the Southeast Region generally held no fondness for the rogue cultivators of Sakura Island, but the relations between the two sides had been relatively harmonious in recent centuries, maintaining a decent facade.

Setting aside her thoughts, Yu Qingtan and the six of them left to go to the first-floor hall.

They saw three Golden Core Cultivators from Sakura Island in a standoff with Shui Qingrou.

"Fairy Qing Rou, our brave warriors from Sakura Island have come to be guests at Wendao Sect, even helping hold off the Sea Clan, yet they tragically fall victim to the poisonous hands of your disciple from Tianxiang Valley. Do you not think you owe us an explanation?"

The leading, portly Golden Core Cultivator, exuding the fluctuations of Spiritual Power of the Late Stage of the Golden Core, asked, his voice filled with indignation.

Typically, only female cultivators who have been listed on the Hundred Flowers List can be addressed as Fairy. Shui Qingrou herself had been on the list, but was automatically removed after she turned twenty-five years old.

"Tufei Yuan, it clearly was your rogues from Sakura Island who acted recklessly, leading to these dire consequences."

Frowning, Shui Qingrou replied, Shui Qing Rou having already informed her about the incident.

"Humph, a few mere Qi Practitioners of lowly status, how can their lives possibly be more valuable than those of my Sakura Island's Foundation Establishment warriors? At most, make some reparation with Spirit Stones, but I did not expect such vicious action from you. Hand over the murderer, and we might not hold this against you and Tianxiang Valley."

Another lean Golden Core Cultivator, at the Mid Phase, named Yamamoto Jiro, also clamored.

"You rogue cultivators from Sakura Island demand payment by force first, and afterwards murder the cultivators of Immortal City, yet still have the audacity to come here and bark so insolently. I have never seen such shameless scoundrels!"

Yu Qingtan stepped forward as she spoke out.

"You—ah—Yu Qingtan, do you dare to engage in a duel to the death with me?"

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Jiro, looking at the beautiful Yu Qingtan, found her completely detestable and became so infuriated that he yelled out, demanding a life-and-death duel with her.

"Why would I not dare?"

Unlike before when she declined, Yu Qingtan accepted without hesitation.

"Fine, let's resolve this on the Dueling Platform!"

All of this happened so quickly that Shui Qingrou didn't have time to intervene, though she believed that if Yu Qingtan dared to accept the challenge, she must be confident.

The very fat Tufei Yuan and the very thin Yamamoto Jiro exchanged looks, barely concealing the joy in their hearts.

They hadn't expected Yu Qingtan to be so easily provoked.

Naturally, they had also heard about Yu Qingtan's achievement of slaying early Third-Stage members of the Sea Clan, but they were confident in Yamamoto Jiro's strength, and had even prepared a trump card for him.

The group made their way to the third-tier Dueling Platform closest to Pavilion of Listening Waves, and nearly half of the cultivators residing in the pavilion followed to spectate.

On the way, they attracted many onlookers, and the number of cultivators beneath the Dueling Platform grew considerable, with even more arriving after hearing about the event.

After hearing the whole story, public opinion naturally favored Yu Qingtan, and although there were those who thought that a Qi Practitioner's life was worth less than a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's, if it were a rogue cultivator from Sakura Island, even the life of a Divine Transformation Cultivator couldn't compare to that of a Qi Practitioner from Wendao Immortal City.

There was also a very important point, would they support a beautiful girl, or an ugly rogue cultivator from Sakura Island?

The third-stage Dueling Platform had a diameter of one mile and was protected by a third-stage Great Array, making it the highest-level Dueling Platform in Wendao Immortal City.

After Yu Qingtan and Yamamoto Jiro stepped onto the platform, the supervising cultivator waved his hand downward, and the two started fighting immediately without any superfluous words.

Before stepping onto the platform, Yu Qingtan had already used Shi Kuang's "Love's Protection," and right after the fight began, she immediately cast Invisibility Technique and Breath-Concealing Technique, taking out the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield for defense.

Yamamoto Jiro, learning from the lesson of Yamamoto Saburo, wore a set of middle-grade Treasure Grade full-body armor. This was the trump card prepared by Tsuchinoko.

Then, without turning invisible, he clasped his hands together and cast a large-scale third-stage spell.

Third-stage spell, Darkness Descending.

Employing this spell, he expanded the nascent form of his Path Domain of Darkness to encompass the entire Dueling Platform, which instantly became shrouded in a hazy gray.

Since the Protective Array isolated the probing of Divine Sense, the audience below could no longer see the situation on the platform clearly and felt quite disappointed, yet they did not leave. They could still guess at the battle by listening to the sounds.

Yamamoto Jiro used his Divine Sense to carefully sense the slight changes within his domain, and soon his eyes brightened,

He swung his hand, and countless black arrows densely shot out en masse toward a certain direction.

Third-stage spell, Wounding Shadow Arrows.

Yu Qingtan knew she had been discovered and did not panic, instead casting Water Escape Technique to increase her distance and using the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield to defend.

"Ding ding ding ding~"

Some Shadow Arrows struck the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield, creating a colliding sound and revealing Yu Qingtan's figure.

Seeing Yu Qingtan using the spoils of war taken from the hands of a Sakura Island warrior against him, Yamamoto Jiro grew even more furious. Shadow Arrows continued to be shot toward Yu Qingtan's location.

The original owner of this Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield was a junior of one of his superiors. If he didn't kill Yu Qingtan, he might be forced to commit seppuku upon returning.

Yu Qingtan, of course, wouldn't just passively take hits. She continuously condensed and compressed high-speed rotating Water Blades to attack Yamamoto Jiro.

With her previous life's experience, Yu Qingtan knew that high-speed rotation would increase the power of Water Blades, but such precise control was only possible with the Divine Sense of someone at the Golden Core Stage.

Although it was only a second-stage spell, its power had reached that of the third-stage. It could mutually annihilate with the Shadow Arrows but was entirely unable to shake Yamamoto Jiro, who was wearing the Treasure Grade armor.

After a dozen or so breaths, both parties were still unharmed. Even as Yamamoto Jiro controlled Shadow Arrows to attack from multiple directions simultaneously, Yu Qingtan could still avoid some with Water Escape Technique and block some with her shield and Water Blades.

Feeling that a tenth of his Spiritual Power had been depleted, Yamamoto Jiro took out his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Shadow Bow, along with one Shadow Arrow.

His Divine Sense locked onto Yu Qingtan's location, pulled the bowstring to the full, and the Shadow Arrow was released, tracking after Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan put away the Qingxuan Turtle Spirit Shield, switched to the high-grade Treasure Canglan Umbrella, and used the umbrella to block the Shadow Arrow.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The standoff continued once more.

"I refuse to believe your Secret Technique can last this long!" Yamamoto Jiro thought to himself as the Shadow Arrow continued its assault.

However, half an hour later, Yu Qingtan was still lively and dodging, defending against the Shadow Arrow attacks while occasionally sending a Water Blade his way, whereas he had already spent the majority of his Spiritual Power.

Unwilling to settle for a draw, Yamamoto Jiro clenched his teeth, exhaled a breath of Golden Core essence onto his Lifebound Magical Treasure, and the speed and power of the Shadow Arrow increased dramatically.
