Deep in the forest, lightning flashed across the sky.
Su Tong looked at the young man struggling ahead of him.
Spiritual energy gathered in his hand.
"The old fisherman comes to harvest the fish!"
Su Tong said lightly.
Hearing the voice, the young man turned around in fright.
Seeing the man standing amidst the lightning, his pupils suddenly contracted: "Impossible!"
Even a third-grade Hua Qi realm cultivator would be pierced through in this lightning.
Yet the man before him was moving freely in it.
Just then, the young man saw the crystals on Su Tong's body.
"This is... Tian Luo armor?"
Having dealt with demonic beasts daily, he was very familiar with this Tian Luo armor.
But Su Tong didn't give him a chance to speak further. Spiritual energy gathered in his hand, lightning swirling, and finally he thrust out a claw.
Puff!
It directly pierced through the young man's body.
"The young sect master of the Beast Control Sect would be happy to know this if the disciples of Chi Hong Sect found out!"
Su Tong said lightly, looking at the young man whose vitality was slowly draining from his eyes.
From the moment they started fighting, Su Tong knew these were people from the Beast Control Sect.
And the Beast Control Sect was the arch-nemesis of the Chi Hong Sect.
Every year, there would be Chi Hong Sect disciples cultivating alone outside, only to be mysteriously surrounded by powerful demonic beasts.
Investigations always led back to the Beast Control Sect.
Of course, the Beast Control Sect also lost many disciples at the hands of the Chi Hong Sect.
That was why Su Tong did not lend a hand earlier, and instead struck them while they were down.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, a voice rang out.
Su Tong looked over to see one of the three third-grade Hua Qi realm cultivators.
"I didn't expect anyone could withstand this!"
Su Tong knew the young sect master of the Beast Control Sect had a defensive treasure to barely defend himself.
But this Hua Qi realm cultivator truly relied on his own strength to resist.
Of course, compared to Su Tong, he resisted with more difficulty.
"You...killed the young sect master? The Beast Control Sect will not let you go... Ah..."
Before the man could finish speaking,
his body was pierced through by Su Tong.
"You talk too much!"
Su Tong said indifferently. Then he checked and saw
the other three Beast Control Sect cultivators were completely dead after the demonic beast's self-destruction.
The surrounding lightning also disappeared after a moment.
Su Tong looked around at the three cultivators killed by the beast's self-destruction, their bodies charred black.
The ones he had killed were in relatively better shape.
The nearby forest was also scorched by the lightning, some trees still burning.
The self-destructing demonic beast had completely disappeared without a trace.
"Self-destructing demon pills, how vicious!"
Su Tong smiled lightly.
Although Su Tong didn't know what that demonic beast was, its power to control lightning spiritual energy was simply formidable.
And it resolutely self-destructed at the last moment.
"Let's see if these people have anything good."
Su Tong then approached the young sect master of the Beast Control Sect.
As the young sect master, he should have some decent items.
After a brief search, Su Tong found a small pouch on him.
"Space pouch?"
Su Tong recognized this as a kind of spirit treasure, though not even considered a low-grade one.
It had its own space inside that could store items.
And this space pouch seemed to be the lowest grade.
"It seems this young sect master of the Beast Control Sect isn't that rich!"
Su Tong helplessly shook his head, then directly opened it.
His spiritual sense swept over it. Inside were over ten thousand spirit stones, a low-grade spirit treasure, and some odds and ends.
But Su Tong wasn't very interested.
"Hm?"
Just as he was about to withdraw his spiritual sense, Su Tong noticed something that attracted his attention in the corner.
With a flip of his hand, the item appeared in Su Tong's palm.
It looked like a secret manual.
"Beast Appraisal?"
There were three characters on it, vaguely emitting a demonic beast's aura.
Su Tong curiously flipped through it.
"It's actually a method to control demonic beasts!"
Su Tong glanced over it and shook his head.
Although this was a method to control demonic beasts, he had no interest in it at all.
Demobic beasts forced under control this way were not truly loyal, and could easily run away like those three Tian Luo illusory beasts.
Su Tong then checked the other people, finding they each had a low-grade space pouch as well.
But there was nothing good inside, only some spirit stones that caught Su Tong's eye.
"Roar!"
Just as Su Tong put all the spirit stones into his space pouch, a beast roar suddenly sounded.
This roar was similar to the previous demonic beast's voice.
Su Tong also looked around warily.
Could there be another such demonic beast?
"Roar!"
The sound came again.
This time, Su Tong could clearly hear it. He followed the sound
and in the bushes, saw a little demonic beast lying on the ground.
But this little beast's eyes were not open.
"So this demonic beast ran into the forest to give birth!"
Su Tong's brow furrowed slightly. The people from the Beast Control Sect had clearly discovered it too.
That's why they attacked the demonic beast.
"No wonder it seemed a little weak when I first saw it. It had just given birth!"
Su Tong now understood
why the demonic beast's strength hadn't reached its peak earlier.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the demonic beast roared again.
Its eyes slowly opened.
When the little beast opened its eyes, its body was covered in flickering lightning as well.
"Such strong innate lightning abilities?"
Su Tong was surprised that the beast could control lightning right after being born.
"It seems we have some affinity. Come with me!"
Su Tong picked up the little beast and headed straight for the Chi Hong Sect.
Not long after Su Tong left, several figures appeared in this area.
"Young...young sect master!"
Seeing the Beast Control Sect's young sect master lying on the ground, they were shocked.
This was their young sect master, the Beast Control Sect master's son. Yet now he was a corpse.
A middle-aged man's face darkened as he examined the five bodies.
His brow furrowed slightly: "The young sect master's inner armor was a low-grade spirit treasure. How could it be shattered like this?"
"The space pouch is missing too?"
The middle-aged man also noticed the young sect master's space pouch was gone.
His gloomy face became even uglier. He shouted lowly: "Notify the Beast Control Sect to surround the forest. Let no one in or out. Search thoroughly, leave no corner unchecked!"
"Yes!"
The nearby Beast Control Sect disciple quickly acknowledged.
By now, Su Tong had left the forest carrying the little beast!

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
