Chapter 434: Ch-434: Training under killing intent
As soon as Zhou Huixin saw Bai Lingxi, Shi Yu, and Luo Li appear, her expression brightened — especially when her eyes landed on Bai Lingxi.
’How could I forget these monsters were here too?’ Zhou Huixin thought with relief, her mood lifting as she remembered just how powerful Bai Lingxi truly was.
On the other hand, the two Pure Core Realm cultivators who had just arrived wore solemn expressions. Their gazes were fixed on the newcomers — particularly Bai Lingxi — as they could sense the aura of death radiating from her.
"Who are you?" one of them asked Bai Lingxi in a serious tone.
"Can’t you tell from my attire?" Bai Lingxi replied with a sneer, her eyes sharp as she studied the two opponents.
’Both at the 1st Stage of the Pure Core Realm. Should be doable,’ Bai Lingxi thought as she narrowed her eyes.
"You’re wearing a disciple’s robe, but I refuse to believe a disciple could be stronger than a Peak Master. Peak Master, is she some kind of old hidden powerhouse of your sect?" the Pure Core Realm cultivator sneered, turning his gaze to Zhou Huixin.
"Think whatever you want — but she is a disciple," Zhou Huixin said coldly, her tone laced with killing intent. However, her words did nothing to faze the two cultivators before her.
"I see. I don’t feel like you’re lying, but in that case, she becomes even more dangerous and needs to be eliminated," the man said as killing intent erupted from both of them like a storm.
’Damn, how many people have they killed to possess such strong killing intent?’ Zhou Huixin thought as she dropped to her knees, gritting her teeth under the suffocating pressure. She looked at Bai Lingxi, and to her surprise, Bai Lingxi, Shi Yu, and Luo Li were completely unaffected — which caused the two Pure Core Realm experts to raise their eyebrows and intensify the pressure even more.
"Tsk, Sister Lingxi, they’re trying to intimidate us with such weak killing intent," Shi Yu snorted and glanced at Bai Lingxi.
"Yeah, compared to Wang Ming’s killing intent, this is child’s play," Luo Li added with a nod. They had trained a few days ago under Wang Ming to resist killing intent, enduring his terrifying aura until they adapted.
"Heh." Bai Lingxi also released her full cultivation, and the two men widened their eyes in disbelief while Zhou Huixin’s jaw dropped.
"Disciple Lingxi, you also reached the Pure Core Realm?" Zhou Huixin said, dumbfounded.
’Heavens, doesn’t this mean she’s stronger than the Sect Master?’ Zhou Huixin cried inwardly in disbelief.
"No wonder we felt danger from you," one of the men said cautiously, exchanging a wary glance with his companion.
"Heh, it’s good I got that treasure from Wang Ming before he left — it helped me increase my cultivation," Bai Lingxi said with a faint smile.

A Few Days Ago
"Are you sure you really want to do this?" Wang Ming asked, frowning at the girls.
"Yes. You have such a strong killing intent, and we can use it to temper ourselves — to build resistance against killing intent," Shi Yu said firmly. During battle, if someone released powerful killing intent, those without resistance could easily become paralyzed by fear.
"Fine," Wang Ming said after seeing their determined expressions. The next moment, the color of his pupils changed as he activated Asura’s Gaze, staring at them coldly.
After a brief silence, an overwhelming wave of killing intent erupted from Wang Ming’s body like a volcano, shocking the girls.
"D-Damn," one of them muttered as their faces turned pale with fear.
"H-Heavens..." Luo Li couldn’t stop her body from trembling. Sweat poured down her forehead as her legs gave out beneath her.
Even Bai Lingxi couldn’t withstand it — and in the next moment...
Thud! Thud! Thud!
"Ahhh!" The girls let out short screams before their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed to the ground unconscious.
"Sigh... I only used forty percent of my true killing intent," Wang Ming said with a helpless sigh. He walked over to them, took out a few pills, and fed each one carefully. After a few moments, they began to stir and wake up.
"Do you still want to continue?" Wang Ming asked.
"Yes, but next time, don’t use your full killing intent at once," Bai Lingxi said, her body drenched in sweat and her clothes clinging tightly to her voluptuous figure.
"That wasn’t my full killing intent. I suppressed the technique by sixty percent," Wang Ming said dryly.
The girls snapped their heads toward him in shock.
’Heavens, that was only forty percent? Then what about one hundred percent?’ they thought, shuddering in fear as they swallowed nervously.
"Still want to continue?" Wang Ming asked again. The girls gritted their teeth and nodded firmly.
"Fine. I’ll lower the killing intent further," Wang Ming said, releasing a much weaker aura than before. This time, the girls were in far better condition and could resist it. Their resistance grew stronger with each passing minute, and Wang Ming’s eyes stayed fixed on them, gauging their progress.
Every hour, he slightly increased the intensity so they would never become fully accustomed to it, allowing their resistance to develop steadily and efficiently.
After a few hours, Wang Ming could tell they couldn’t improve any further with their current cultivation and stopped.
"Alright, that’s enough. You’ve reached your limit. We’ll continue when you all raise your cultivation again," Wang Ming said, and the girls collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
"Wang Ming, do you have any items that could help us with our cultivation?" Luo Li asked, and the other two looked at him expectantly.
Wang Ming rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
’Hmm... I still have Dual Cultivation Points, and I got more after cultivating with Min Li and Peak Master Zhou Huixin,’ he thought as he opened the system shop.
’These two should be perfect for Luo Li and Shi Yu,’ Wang Ming decided, purchasing two items. Then he searched for something related to ice—and his eyes widened when he found it.
"Buy," Wang Ming muttered as three items appeared in his storage ring.
