13 encounter

On the eighth consecutive evening, Nie Li's group of three was in the dark hunting Horned Sheep. The sky was dark and it was already midnight.

Lu Piao yawned and said, "Nie Li, I can't take it anymore. I'm taking a short nap on top of the tree."

Seven consecutive days of nonstop Horned Sheep hunting caused him to be so tired that he couldn't continue anymore.

Not only Lu Piao, even Du Ze couldn't take it anymore.

"Nie Li, I also have to sleep first," Du Ze said. His eyelids have been fighting to stay awake for a whole seven days. Even a man of steel wouldn't be able to endure it.

"You guys sleep first. We'll pause the hunting tomorrow night. I have other plans," Nie Li said. He had already accumulated more than sixteen thousand demon spirit coins. This is their first bucket of gold. With that, they can do a lot of stuff. It was no longer necessary to hunt Horned Sheep.

Lu Piao and Du Ze climbed up a towering tree, lied down on a branch and fell asleep immediately. Both of their childish faces were full of exhaustion. Although they both belonged to the premature-type, in the end they're still just two teenagers.

Nie Li sped through the woods. A round moon hung in the sky. The sounds of various insects would be heard from time to time, causing the surrounding area to be increasingly quiet.

There's no large sized demon beast around, so it's extremely safe.

Suddenly, Nie Li heard an abnormal sound from the distant jungle. There seems to be someone else here.

"Who is still in the training grounds at this time?"

Nie Lie's brows frowned and ran towards that direction. He hid in the woods while looking at the field that's covered in moonlight. Using the moonlight to see, he saw a slender and slim figure standing in the middle of the moonlight. She had shoulder length hair, was wearing a leather jacket, and was exuding a faint blue light.

This is the light of soul force! Although it hadn't step into Bronze rank, it should be entering Bronze rank soon.

Using the light from the soul force, Nie Lie's eyes landed on her face. Her eyes were shut, her long eyelashes slightly trembled, and slender eyebrows. She had flawless, white skin glowing a healthy pink, and rich, delicate lips. She and Ye Ziyun possessed two different kinds of beauty. Ye Ziyun possessed a silent elegance, like a beautiful violet flower. While she was charming, with a  seductive and glamorous look, like a rose with thorns.

"Xiao Ning'er, never would have thought it was her," said Nie Li, slightly surprised for a moment. Xiao Ning'er was more hard working than he imagined. She was still training her soul force at this time of night. He estimates that she'll soon enter into Bronze rank.

the reason she is still not reach bronze rank because Leticia not just remove her illness but also her cultivation so she will restart everything from the start use lightning dragon cultivation technique but she not give her any cultivation resources like pill or anything because Xiao ninge'r still not part of Ling clan.

Thinking of his previous life, when Xiao Ning'er entered 1-star Bronze rank, she fell sick for more than two years and her cultivation regressed a lot. Although she had to re-trained herself from scratch, it's said that since then she had been pain ridden. Although she had been ill, in the eyes of others, she had been like a dazzling star. She was a strong woman!

Thinking about how Xiao Ning'er was training here in the middle of the night, Nie Li suddenly understood a lot. Although Xiao Ning'er is very hard working, she is treating her life as joke.

After thinking awhile, Nie Li walked towards Xiao Ning'er.

"Who!?" Xiao Ning'er suddenly opens her eyes, and frailly shouted, while retrieving a short dagger. She warily looked at Nie Li. Her facial expression was chilling cold. Through the moonlight, those deeply alert eyes had an indescribable charm in them.

Although she was only thirteen years old, the current her can definitely be considered a beautiful teen. The leather jacket's front chest area was slightly bulging. At this age, she can definitely be proud of it.

"I'm Nie Li!" Nie Li said. Although he has never talked with Xiao Ning'er, they can still be considered classmates and were somewhat familiar with each other.

Xiao Ning'er put down her short dagger, but still kept her guard up as she looked at Nie Li and said, "What are you doing here?"

Nie Li faintly smiled, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to train my soul force," Xiao Ning'er said, looking at Nie Li through the moonlight. Nie Li's eyebrows were sharp. He had a bit of handsomeness, not like some people who looked terrifying from the first look.

Nie Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "I hang out around here."

"You're lying. Don't think I don't know. During these last few days, you guys have been the ones killing those Horned Sheep," Xiao Ning'er said. She had already seen Nie Li's group of three, but she didn't take any initiative to greet them. What Xiao Ning'er was curious about was something that Nie Lie's group smeared onto the bolts that was able to take down a Horned Sheep with one bolt, but she wouldn't take the initiative to ask other people's secrets.

"So you knew since long ago," Nie Li said, looking at Xiao Ning'er. When she pouts her mouth, her rich delicate lips had an indescribable charm to them. But he already had Ye Ziyun in his heart, so his feelings for Xiao Ning'er's beauty is simply appreciation. He appreciates her beauty and how hard-working she is. With Xiao Ning'er's appearance alone, she can stand at a very high position, yet she still relied on her own strength to change other people's view towards her. but he feel she choose wrong method because he feel why direct descendent of Xiao clan still not reach bronze rank like other heir from noble family with how much she hardworking like this.

"I'm going to continue practicing!" Xiao Ning'er coldly stated as she stared at Nie Li with her bright, clear eyes.

Xiao Ning'er didn't like being disrupted by others. She had an expression that 'pushed people thousands of miles away' on her face, and because she rarely associated with the students in class, especially the boys, the friendless her seemed somewhat eccentric.

"I will leave, immediately!" Nie Li said as he faintly smiled. He checked her out from top to bottom.

Xiao Ning'er's brows wrinkled.

Isn't the way Nie Li is looking at me a bit too rude? she thought. She couldn't help feeling somewhat angry. There were lots of boys chasing after her in the Holy Orchid Institute, but Xiao Ning'er had always ignored them. She only wants to focus on her training. Therefore, Nie Li's actions right now was no different from the other boys in the institute. It was simply hateful!

"Are you still not leaving?" Xiao Ning'er wasn't happy by her tone. Nie Li had been disrupting her for quite some time now.

when nie li preaper to leave he take another glance toward Xiao Ning'er but what he see is her soul force become more stronger than before and she is becoming more near breakthrough to bronze rank.

"are you really think i will still be polite if you keep staring like that to me?"

this time Xiao Ning'er voice is more cold than before but something is still bugging nie li so he try to gamble and ask Xiao Ning'er

"I'm sorry but can you tell me what cultivation technique you use?"

"why do you want to know?"

this time image of nie li is already between stranger and classmate in Xiao Ning'er eyes

"just curious"

nie li now feel he is make worst decision with stay here any longer

"Lightning Dragon technique, so now leave when i stil patient enough"

thw answer he get from Xiao Ning'er is really like a thunder sound to him because that technique is impossible to appear in glory city and he is quite confident just him alone that know lightning Dragon technique in this tiny world.

even if he want to try ask where she get that technique he chooses to leave this place as son as possible.

after he arrive besides his brothers he thinks about what he need to do from now on, because with just hunting here will not get much amount of money

"i think i need to visit alchemist association"

nie li try to concentrate and colect every information he come across from the day he reincarnated and he start to think this is not glory city taht he know.

new wall, police, carriage for commoner, Ling clan, two legend rank from ling clan, and lastly lightning dragon technique.

all of them is not supposed to be here in the first place, so what really happened? where he is exactly? is he send to the past? or he is send to other timeline?

even if he feel want to investigate Ling clan there is several reason to stop his plane, frst ling clan bring good development to glory city, second he is to weak right now and lastly ling clan mansion is build in separate land outside glory city so to enter ling clan territory need to pass front gate where there is guard by several black gold rank cultivators.

and the exact location of ling clan mansion is unknown because the land they have is equal with quarter of glory city.

"they're really strong..."

It's time for Shen Xiu's lesson again. However, Nie Li, Du Ze and Lu Piao felt that her lessons were simply pointless and boring. All she did was gabble away at the stage daily. Of course, during Shen Xiu's lesson, Nie Li, Du Ze, and Lu Piao  would be standing at the back of the class. The lesson will be starting soon and students were gathering in small groups, chit chatting.

Despite Ye Ziyun's status, she didn't have much of a barrier with the other students. She, quickly, became friendly with many female students in the class. Naturally, Shen Yue would pridefully sit at a corner. With his status, he couldn't be bothered to interact with the other students in the class. If it wasn't for Ye Ziyun being in this class, he wouldn't be coming in the first place.

At the coming test in two months time, no matter if it's him or Ye Ziyun, both of them would definitely enter into the junior Demon Spiritist class. Shen Yue looked at Nie Li standing at the back of the class. His face stretched into a sarcastic smile.

"Reaching 1-star Bronze rank in two months, if trash like you can accomplish that, then the sun would be rising from the west!" he muttered sarcastically.

it seem even with ling tian intervention nie li and shen xiu is still bett for the result of exam that wil held in the next two months.

Nie Li, Du Ze and Lu Piao were at the back, chatting among themselves. In addition, there were a few commoner students that built good relationship with Nie Li's group. Since Nie Li had a lot of ideas, he would coach them in their training from time to time. With how much he helped them, he naturally became the leader of this small group. Even Du Ze, who had more prestige within the commoner student body, was willing to listen to what Nie Li said.

In just a few days, Nie Lie led the two of them and earned roughly around sixteen thousand Demon Spirit coins. Du Ze never imagined he would earn such a large amount of money. He fully trusted and admired Nie Li, feeling that Nie Li was very capable.

"Nie Li, what's our next step?" Du Ze asked. After all, Nie Li previously said that they were not going to continue hunting horned sheep. What are they going to do now?

"You'll know after school!" Nie Li said, smiling mysteriously. He already had everything planned out. The first step is to buy some soul crystals to test their talent property and immediate begin their training. Nie Li still has his bet with Shen Xiu. He must become a 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritist in two months!

Leaving his training aside, Nie Li looked towards Ye Ziyun who was sitting with a group of girls chit chatting. How can he get close to Ye Ziyun? How can he get Ye Ziyun to fall for him?

but he is still feel bad when he is look ye ziyun is currently chatting happily with ling tian and akame and sometimes he see ye ziyun is smile toward ling tian like a girl who look toward her boyfriend.
