My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 154 - 153: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

Chapter 154: Chapter 153: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

Master Bai the Fourteenth obviously hadn’t expected to get caught talking behind someone’s back and had to hide his embarrassment with a smile.

Fortunately, Grandpa Chang didn’t dwell on this detail. He gave a brief reprimand and then turned his attention to Lv Bai and Miss Hu Jiu.

"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened here?"

"Well... it’s a long story."

Master Bai the Fourteenth didn’t know where to start and turned to look at Miss Hu Jiu, hoping she could explain things clearly.

However, at this moment, Miss Hu Jiu tilted her head up, not paying any attention to them at all.

In fact, Grandpa Chang wasn’t here alone.

Shortly after he landed, a brown-furred fox, including its tail, measuring ten meters long, walked on air and hovered above everyone.

Seeing the figure above her, Miss Hu Jiu felt a surge of joy and cried out pitifully, "Sixth Brother."

The brown-furred fox transformed into a human form and landed steadily on the ground.

Sixth Master Hu had a handsome appearance with a strong scholarly aura, making one seemingly able to smell the scent of ink from him.

He noticed the large serpent phantom conjured by Lv Bai and grew wary.

He didn’t approach, instead stood at a distance, discreetly probing, "You all managed to capture Ninth Sister."

"Ha, you old Liu, you really dared to chase all the way here."

Grandpa Chang’s expression looked somewhat fierce and he ignored the other party’s probing.

Lv Bai glanced at the system panel to confirm that the "Node" wasn’t on these two new Immortals, but the displayed location suggested that the "Node" seemed to be moving towards them.

Judging by the speed, it would take a while to arrive.

Since there was no rush, he opted to turn sideways and give Grandpa Chang a concise explanation of the current situation.

"In short, a group of Immortals from the Four Great Sects have united to overthrow the Incense Sect System. This whole series of events is essentially their doing."

Grandpa Chang, not quite bewildered, felt almost as confused.

If he hadn’t noticed Sixth Master Hu was monitoring him, he’d probably still be asleep in the Cypress Forest.

Before Grandpa Chang could fully comprehend what Lv Bai had told him, the scholar-looking Sixth Master Hu retorted indifferently.

"Young man, you’re mistaken. We’re not trying to overthrow the Incense Sect System; we’re just going along with the trend..."

"You call it whatever you like."

Lv Bai interrupted Sixth Master Hu’s rhetorical words, suddenly changing the topic: "Do you know about the Reincarnated Demons?"

After all, Miss Hu Jiu was still under Lv Bai’s control, with Master Bai the Fourteenth and Grandpa Chang present.

Under such circumstances, even though Lv Bai didn’t show much courtesy, Sixth Master Hu didn’t dare to flip out easily.

He feigned reserve, nodding: "I’ve heard a bit."

Lv Bai pressed on: "Then do you know where the captured Reincarnated Demons are?"

Sixth Master Hu covertly exchanged a glance with Miss Hu Jiu before answering: "I’m not very clear; Second Brother is in charge of that."

Lv Bai wasn’t satisfied with this answer and immediately turned to look at Grandpa Chang and Master Bai the Fourteenth.

"How about we take this guy down first?"

Faced with this proposal, Master Bai the Fourteenth hesitated slightly.

However, according to Lv Bai’s understanding of this Hedgehog Immortal, if it really came to a fight, he would definitely support.

Beside him, Grandpa Chang directly rolled up his sleeves, showing a sinister grin toward Sixth Master Hu.

Lv Bai had summarized the situation well, and he roughly understood now.

Since he had already hidden in the forest alone, he obviously had no interest in overthrowing the Incense Sect System. Now he just wanted to teach a lesson to Sixth Master Hu, who dared to monitor him.

"That’s a great idea."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he spat out a solid Mana Ball toward Sixth Master Hu.

The speed was so fast that it nearly turned into an ellipse.

Sixth Master Hu didn’t expect Grandpa Chang to act so unceremoniously, but luckily he wasn’t entirely unprepared.

With a raise of his hand, a thick earthen wall rose from the ground.

Bam!

The black Mana Ball collided with the earthen wall, sending mud flying everywhere.

Seeing the two sides start fighting without a word, Master Bai the Fourteenth looked deeply conflicted as he condensed a milky white spike, maneuvering it to attack Sixth Master Hu from the side.

Sensing the danger, a large fox tail appeared behind Sixth Master Hu, using it to swat the spike away.

The scene appeared very lively, yet Lv Bai didn’t join the fight.

He left part of his attention on the system panel, as the outcome of this battle was nothing he needed to worry about.

Though both Grandpa Chang and Sixth Master Hu were powerful Immortals capable of founding temples and establishing altars, the outcome was still uncertain when they went all out.

But with Master Bai the Fourteenth, a "half-step-to-temple" Immortal, on their side, the battle’s balance tilted overwhelmingly in their favor.

Unless there were some actors involved, there wouldn’t be any other outcome.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Grandpa Chang launched Mana Balls as if they cost nothing, firing wildly.

During the intervals, Master Bai the Fourteenth occasionally threw in a sneak attack. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Under such circumstances, Sixth Master Hu had no chance to counterattack, being completely overwhelmed.

And he didn’t dare loosen up in the slightest, since both were Great Immortals, with not only a high attack frequency but also incredibly destructive power.

With each Mana collision, a violent shockwave swept across the crater.

The fierce gusts constantly blowing made it hard for Lv Bai to concentrate on observing the "Node’s" position.

Rumble~

After a sustained defense, mistakes were inevitable.

After a while, Sixth Master Hu slipped up and was hit squarely by a black Mana Bullet.

The impact sent his half-fox form flying, crashing onto the crater’s slope.

Hit that hard, his aura significantly weakened, unable to maintain his elegant scholar demeanor.

Grandpa Chang showed no intention of letting Sixth Master Hu catch his breath, spewing out more Mana Bullets for good measure.

Feeling it was enough, he revealed his true serpent form, coiling his tail around him.

With a sinister grin, he lifted Sixth Master Hu close to his face: "Ha, loser, you dared to provoke your Grandpa Chang."

"Isn’t that a bit harsh?"

Lv Bai shifted his attention to the barely-breathing Sixth Master Hu.

"Uh?"

Grandpa Chang was taken aback, not understanding why Lv Bai would stick up for this fox.

Even if the victory wasn’t clean, it was still a victory.

Master Bai the Fourteenth also smiled, ready to say something.

Suddenly, his expression changed sharply and he turned to look in the direction of the city gate.

There, a thick smoke curled up, accompanied by a strange, grand sound of clappers.

The rhythmic beating didn’t cause discomfort; instead, it was filled with an indescribable harmony.
