C46 Snatch a Child's Pill

Wu Kai did not notice the unwillingness in Wu Yong's eyes. Instead, he saw that there was also another name, Wu Di, right next to his name on the bulletin board.

"A ten-year-old child actually took my place? No wonder Wu Hua is so angry." Looking at the name who had replaced his, a wave of resentment involuntarily rose from the bottom of his heart. Wu Kai could similarly feel Wu Hua's anger.

The two geniuses of the Wu Family had actually been replaced by two disciples who were only ten years old and had not yet met the requirements to be outstanding. What a shame! And these two could not bear to stand it.

...

"Alright, I'll go." Wu Kai turned to look at the people on the training field.

...

At this moment, Wu Hui was cultivating the Five Elements Arts inside his room. The Fire Martial Qi in his body became increasingly condensed. He felt that he was now approaching the bottleneck membrane to break through to the Three-star of Profound Grade. He was very satisfied with his speed. And his Fire Martial Skill - the Flame Palm had also been raised to Level One.

Wu Hui opened his palm, a layer of faint red light enveloped his palm. He felt the Fire Martial Qi in his body surging forth, following a specific route and converging onto his palm. Wu Hui had an urge to give it a try.

"Now I have mastered the first level of Flame Palm. How powerful it is?" Cultivating the Flame Palm was much more difficult than mastering the Green Wood Fist. When he was cultivating the Green Wood Fist, Wu Hui only used one night. But it took six whole days for him to manage the first level of the Flame Palm.

Wu Hui left the room and walked towards the training field. He wanted to test the power of Flame Palm. When Wu Hui arrived at the training field, he discovered a large group of people gathered in a circle, there were a few people confronting inside.

Wu Hui patted a young disciple in the front who was watching the show, and asked him what was going on.

The disciple was watching with interest. Being patted hard by someone, he was somewhat angry. But just as he turned his head and was about to reprimand the one who patted him, he saw Wu Hui standing behind him with a calm expression. The young disciple's face immediately became somewhat pleasantly surprised.

“Ah! Brother Hui! My name is Wu Liang, thirteen years old, Seven-star of Yellow Grade."

Wu Hui covered his forehead, feeling speechless. Recently, there had always been people mentioning their names to him, as if he would forget them. Wu Hui knew that it was all because of the pills. It was like if they mentioned their names the more times, he would be more likely to give them the pills.

Seeing Wu Hui's expression, Wu Liang suddenly remembered his question.

"Wu Kai wants the pills from Wu Di and Wu Qing. So he starts a conflict with Wu Zejun."

...

Hearing Wu Liang's words, Wu Hui's gaze became serious, and rage flamed up in his heart. He was the one who added Wu Di and Wu Qing to the list. There was indeed someone who wanted to snatch their pills. And this someone was actually Wu Kai who had been disqualified by him.

"It seems that the punishment of disqualification is not enough." Wu Hui muttered, as his expression sharpened. He squeezed through the crowd and walked into the circle.

...

"Wu Zejun, how come it bothers you that I demand that pill from Wu Qing? He doesn’t meet the requirements for an outstanding disciple, it’s already a good luck for him to have one. Two pills? What a waste.” Wu Kai felt somewhat fearful to confront Wu Zejun, whose cultivation was higher than him. But when he saw Wu Hua by his side, Wu Kai felt somewhat at ease. Although he was not as strong as Wu Zejun, there was Wu Hua who was backing him. And because of that, he guessed that Wu Zejun dared not to make a big deal.

"Wu Kai, you’ve already been disqualified by Wu Hui, and now you even want to snatch from someone else? Aren't you afraid of the punishment from the clan?” Wu Zejun stood there in white, his eyes faintly filled with anger. He was not looking at Wu Kai, but Wu Hua by his side, who had been silent the entire time. Behind Wu Zejun was a cyan-robed youth. He was around ten years old, had a face full of childishness, and weakness in his gaze.

Wu Hua's face sank. He was not happy at all at Wu Zejun's implicit criticism of him. He turned his gaze and a smile appeared on his round face.

"Haha, I'm afraid that Brother Zejun has taken us wrong. Little brother Wu Qing is still young and his cultivation is not advanced enough. One pill is enough for him. I can keep the other one for him and he can learn something from me in exchange to break through some of the bottlenecks in his cultivation. This way, he won't suffer any losses. "

Confronting Wu Hua, Wu Zejun did not want to cause too much trouble. Wu Hua was older than him, furthermore, his cultivation was higher, so Wu Zejun was a little afraid of him. And in his heart, he truly believed that it was quite a waste for Wu Qing to have two pills considering Wu Qing’s gift and talents. Although he worked very hard, he did not progress very fast in cultivation. Wu Zejun's gaze turned to Wu Qing behind him and asked, "Wu Qing, you’ve heard what Wu Hua said. The pill belongs to you, so, are you willing to give out one pill to Wu Hua and let him take care of it, in exchange for Wu Hua's guidance?"

After hearing Wu Zejun's words, Wu Qing's originally somewhat fearful eyes became even more timid. He did not even dare to raise his head to look at Wu Zejun. “It's all up to you, Brother Zejun." Wu Qing said in a low voice, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Alright then. Since that's the case, why don’t you just give out one pill. With Wu Hua's guidance, you will be able to save yourself a lot of time and effort." Wu Zejun sighed, disappointment and regret could be seen in his eyes. He thought to himself, “Why didn't I ask for a pill from him? Now Wu Hua has snatched it away first.”

Wu Hua revealed a trace of complacency in his eyes. In his heart, he was very pleased with Wu Zejun's understanding of the situation.

Wu Kai's eyes turned back and forth, thinking that if they could only get one pill, it could only belong to Wu Hua.

"Wu Di, come out." Wu Kai's gaze fell on a youngster in the back of the group. The youngster was only around ten years old, and his stature was not tall and somewhat weak. His face was delicate and pretty, and his eyes were bright. Hearing Wu Kai's summoning, the youth hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the crowd. He then went to the middle of the circle.

"Brother Wu Kai, I wonder why you called me out?" Wu Di cupped his fist to greet him. Although his face looked young, there was still a trace of determination on it.

“Hehe, Brother Wu Di, congratulations on becoming an outstanding disciple. Since Wu Qing has already taken out a pill to honor Brother Hua, are you going to do the same to honor me as well? I will also help you in your future cultivation.” Seeing Wu Di coming out, Wu Kai seemed to have seen a weak lamb. Wu Kai was already seventeen years old, and his stature was tall and big. Wu Di was only ten years old this year, and his height wasn't even close to Wu Kai's shoulder. Wu Kai looked down on Wu Di while his eyes were filled with joy. Wu Qing was one of Wu Zejun’s men. If he did not have Wu Hua's backing, he would not dare to bother Wu Qing. But Wu Di, on the other hand, did not have any backers, and was a bit eccentric, and his aptitude was even worse than Wu Qing's. Both of them were ten years old, Wu Qing was at Five-star of Yellow Grade, while Wu Di was only at Four-star of Yellow Grade.

Hearing Wu Kai blatantly demanding the pill from him, Wu Di’s young face became darkened. He knew that his aptitude was not good, so he could only depend on hard work to make up for it. He had heard that there was a good-for-nothing young master Wu Hui in the clan, who had not improved for seven years and had not given up cultivating for even a single day. He also heard that this young master had now apparently broken through to the Profound Grade. He felt that his own gift was much better than Wu Hui's, and he didn't dare to slack in his cultivation either. He was now striving to break through to the Profound Grade before the age of fifteen. Originally, he was not qualified for the pill, and he himself envied those disciples who had entered the list. But unexpectedly, some big name in the clan had really added his name onto the list. Wu Di was so excited that he did not sleep the entire night. With these two pills and his hard work, Wu Di believed that he would definitely be able to catch up with the outstanding disciples when pills were given out the next time.

But now, Wu Kai actually wanted one of his pills, how could he give it up?

"Wu Kai, my pill qualification is granted by the clan. If you want to have the pill, ask the permission from the elders, then I will give you one. I do not need your guidance." Little Wu Di spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. There was a rare trace of calmness in his young voice.

"What?" Wu Kai did not expect that Wu Di would say such things, and was stunned for a moment. How could he let the elders to even know about this? Although it was like he was kinda forcing him, as long as he said it as an exchange between the pill and the guidance, then all this was explainable and nobody could accuse him. After all, it was done voluntarily on both sides, just like the agreement between Wu Qing and Wu Hua, which was negotiated by Wu Zeyu. “So, you don’t want to give me the pill?” Wu Kai's expression had already become somewhat ugly and people around were discussing in whispers. Wu Kai knew they were criticizing him, he did not even have to listen carefully. Originally, in Wu Kai's heart, if he could say such words, Wu Di would probably agree immediately. He didn't expect to run into a nail that was neither soft nor hard.

Facing the imposing Wu Kai, Wu Di maintained a calm expression, and slowly shook his head. The two pills would play a crucial role in his cultivation. If he had the two pills, his own cultivation would be able to catch up with the outstanding disciples. But if there was one less, with his natural gift, it would be extremely difficult.

Seeing Wu Di shake his head, Wu Kai's face flushed red. With an unkind tone, he said, "Wu Di, let me ask you one more time, are you giving me the pill or not? Do you think that I am not qualified enough to guide you?” After saying that, the aura from Wu Kai's body surged. The powerful aura of a Profound Grade expert pressed down on Wu Di's body. Wu Di's expression changed and he could not help but take a step back. In a breath of time, he stopped and took another step forward. There was no fear in his clear and bright eyes.

"How humiliating! How dare you, a Four-star of Yellow Grade, to even look down upon me!” Seeing that Wu Di had not submitted under the oppression of his aura, a strong rage rose in Wu Kai's heart. Being ignored by disciples who were lower than him time and time again made Wu Kai lose all reason.

“What a piece of trash, can’t even handle a little kid. Wu Kai, it looks like this time you can’t have any pills." When Wu Hua saw Wu Kai using his aura to suppress Wu Di, the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer, his gaze full of disdain. Walking up to the front, Wu Hua exploded out all the Qi in his body, causing Wu Di to be unable to endure any longer. Wu Di was forced to take a step back, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
