Harness Cultivator

As the Fire Lizards gradually approached closer to Deng Lijuan, her body continued to tremble even more.

She had never had a proper fight before and seeing those hideous-looking Fire Lizards frightened every fiber of her.

"W-What do I do?" Deng Lijuan asked herself in confusion.

As much as she wanted to fight back, the fear upon her was too much. She simply couldn't circulate an ounce of her profound qi.

'Lee Tao is really not going to help me out…' Deng Lijuan panicked more when she tried to sneak a glance at Lee Tao and saw him napping.

Suddenly, just as she was distracted, the Fire Lizards took this opportunity to strike at her.

Deng Lijuan noticed a change in the wind's atmosphere and knew that she was getting attacked.

By reflex, Deng Lijuan unconsciously raised her hand up and began glowing brightly.

Profound qi circulated around her hand as she created a barrier, successfully deflecting the pounce by the Fire Lizards.

However, Deng Lijuan was more frightened than ever as she witnessed the full resolution HD view of the Fire Lizards from her eyes. 

"I can't do this anymore, Lee Tao!" Deng Lijuan screamed in panic as she tried to run away.

Alas, she could only run around in circles since Lee Tao's barrier had surrounded the entire territory of the Fire Lizards.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chu made a facepalm from above the sky as she was actually surveying the area, making sure that Deng Lijuan would be safe.

The scenery in front of Deng Lijuan might seem drastic, but Xiao Chu was always ready to protect her.

"Her talent is insane, but her emotions are indeed a shitshow…" Xiao Chu commented.

Suddenly, Xiao Chu gasped in surprise when she finished her own line. 

Tilting her head slightly, she glanced at the sleeping Lee Tao with a dumbfounded look.

'C-Could this be the reason why Lee Tao decided on the Severing Dao of Emotions?' She wondered silently. 

As Xiao Chu realized the hidden depth of Lee Tao was far deeper than she had thought, Deng Lijuan was nearly exhausted from trying to outrun the swiftness of the Fire Lizards.

"I feel like dropping down at any time now," Deng Lijuan muttered as she needed to find a solution fast. Otherwise, she might be turned into meat paste by the rampage of the Fire Lizards.

Trying her best to calm down, Deng Lijuan soon recalled the teaching of Lee Tao.

No matter how drastic the situation is, one must always remain calm to tackle the problem.

Keeping this in heart, Deng Lijuan started to control her emotion; fear. 

"Severing it… Sever the fear in heart…. SEVER THE FEAR!"

THUMP!

Deng Lijuan paused her footstep as she no longer tried to run away. 

Replacing her panicked expression was now a calm and collected Deng Lijuan.

Her eyes shone with a profound gaze as she glanced at the multiple Fire Lizards.

"She finally severed the emotion…" Xiao Chu muttered.

With Deng Lijuan successfully using Lee Tao's modified technique, it was like another person had replaced her.

Confidence brimmed her eyes as she directly kicked the ground, propelling herself toward the Fire Lizards.

The Fire Lizards were suddenly dumbfounded by Deng Lijuan's aggressiveness.

Nevertheless, they quickly tried to attack her as they swiped their claws out.

Deng Lijuan remained expressionless at their action as she coated her hand with profound qi.

With a wave, she sent out an arc filled with profound qi toward the Fire Lizards. 

SLICK!

Not even a second later, multiple heads flew away, and Deng Lijuan had killed all the Fire Lizards in the vicinity.

Meanwhile, those tiny lizards had instantly retreated back to their hole, unwilling to show themselves anymore.

Deng Lijuan took a deep breath before the aura around her subsided.

"Gahh" She panted heavily and plopped into the muddy water.

Her legs were jiggly, almost like she had no strength left in her body.

The barrier surrounding the Fire Lizard's territory was also gone, and Xiao Chu appeared in front of her, checking her condition.

"Hmm, just a bit exhausted, so having some rest will be enough." Xiao Chu said.

She then turned around and gazed at the sleeping Lee Tao.

"Lee Tao, Deng Lijuan had finished her training already." She called out.

Lee Tao opened his eyes slightly as he gave a nod.

"13 minutes and 36 seconds… What a drag." Lee Tao said with a desolate expression.

Despite completing the task he had handed in, Lee Tao wasn't impressed by the time Deng Lijuan used to complete it.

"Give her a break, Lee Tao. It's Deng Lijuan's first combat experience, and it's better than most people already."

"Most people, but not everyone. If she wants to follow me, then this should have been over in 10 seconds. Heck, she didn't even destroy their nesting and already plop to the ground. Imagine if this was a real fight and the enemy had reinforcement? What will she do by then? Wait for her death?" 

Lee Tao's harsh and cold tone made Xiao Chu speechless as she couldn't rebuke his words.

She had also seen the fighting environment in the Ninth Heaven, so she knew exactly where Lee Tao's words were coming from.

Meanwhile, Deng Lijuan didn't get dejected by Lee Tao's words. Instead, she was grateful for his scolding as she stood up and bowed to him.

"Thank you, Master. I will keep the mistake I made in mind and will never commit it again." Deng Lijuan said.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Since you are willing to admit to your mistake and strive for improvement, then you still have some hopes." Lee Tao said as he turned around and began walking away.

"Retrieve all the Fire Lizards and their monster cores. Looting is also an extremely important process for a cultivator." 

Sometime later, Deng Lijuan finished collecting all the loot as she returned back to their camp.

"Master, I'm back."

"Go cook some soup with the Fire Lizards. They are nutritious for a cultivator's body."

Lee Tao said as he continued to focus on the projection screen. 

'Looks like the Xinghui Sect has really sent out some of their elders toward here huh…'
