SCP Gacha System In A Cultivation World
Chapter 178: Li Li.

“You know she’s not your birth mother.” His deep mocking voice danced around his ears.

“How could an owl be born from a human?” His soothing and calm voice questioned as if it was a fact of life.

“Stop rejecting reality and accept it. You are an owl. She is a human.” Its voice statedplainly.

LiListood in front of the people talking nonsense. Looking down at his brown arms, he turned around and looked at his soul. His soul was everything he was as a being and looking at his soul, he saw what he really was. A young boy who looked to be around the age of 5 or 6 was grinning. This boy had skin as brown as a bear’s fur, hair whiter than snow, and a face that brought absolutely no attention to it whatsoever! For those in Heaven’s Angel, it would be simple for them to realize that this child had to be Jing’s relative. The similarities between them were too obvious!

These stupid ignorant people behind him might not know, but Li knew exactly where he came from. Without his mom, he would’ve never been born. Without his mom, he would’ve never grown as strong as he is now. And without his mom, he would’ve been a cripple if she didn’t save him. So, for these idiots to say that he isn’t his mom’s son. Isn’t that just insulting him and his mom?

In front of him were three people. The big monkey from the Treasured Plains, the Supreme Commander, and that stupid statue that broke his neck. LiLiprepared himself to perform his martial arts. With his left fist held out like a mighty spear and his right fist held close to his core, LiLismiled. Mr. Owl’s Self Defense Lessons were ingrained into his mind, body, and soul. Just like his mom, LiLicouldn’t use Fire Girl’s shadows to directly improve his martial arts. He had to take on his shadow without hitting it once. The shadow clone of himself would then use his martial arts to their full potential, forcing LiLito avoid and block everything it threw at him as he took in the new ways of using his martial arts.

“Hmph. I’ll handle this stubborn idiot.” The big monkey stepped forward first.

Walking on two legs, like a human, he ran towards LiLi. LiLiextended a finger out from his left fist and with that finger, a bright purple beam of qi fired out of it. This qi attack was so quick that the monkey didn’t even realize his heart was pierced until he towered over LiLiwith his arms raised to crush him. With a satisfied smirk, LiLigently pushed his corpse out of the way to take on the next opponent.

“You won’t take me out that easily. Have you forgotten? I’ve bested you in souls.” The Supreme Commander laughed.

“If this was the real world, I wouldn’t stand a chance against you. But here? I am supreme!” LiLireleased all 1,000 souls of spirit beasts he’s captured with his Auxiliary Art: Ghost King’s Chilling Breath.

It was likeanunstoppable tsunami of ghostly spirit beasts that surged forward to kill the Supreme Commander’s clone. The loud bang from behind him didn’t even startle him as the statue tried to sneak behind him and snap his neck like before. With his body martial art, LiLicreated a dome of qi to protect himself the moment he lost sight of the statue. He turned his head 270 degrees to make eye contact with the statue beating down on his barrier.

The statue was helpless as it could no longer move now that he was staring at it. LiLigathered and concentrated his qi into his right fist and struck the statue with everything he had. Upon impact with the statue, a giant ray of qi burst from out of his fist, shattering the statue into multiple pieces. Behind him, all one thousand of his spirit beasts were dealt with by the Supreme Commander. However, he didn’t come out of it in one piece. Multiple life-threatening wounds covered his body from head to toe. Bloody gashes, bites, and even a torn off arm were some of the injuries he suffered.

He glared at LiLiand using the energy from his soul, attempted to obliterate him into nothingness. The young human child contested with his own soul force. By separating his soul from his body, he flew into the air and directly attacked the Supreme Commander’s soul as he destroyed his physical body. Being attacked in such a dangerous moment could only spell disaster for the Supreme Commander. Putting everything he had into killing LiLiwas his mistake as he had no way to intercept this incredibly risky attack made by LiLi! No sane cultivator would ever separate their soul from their body!

LiLigave an innocent childish laugh as he killed the Supreme Commander and swallowed his soul. None of this was real! Knowing that, he could’ve literally done anything he wanted to try and kill the three. There were no repercussions for doing suicidal attacks. He was just simply interested in what his Heart Demons would be and wanted to know if he could beat the test like his mom.

Maybe there were times that he questioned where he came from but as he gained more knowledge on souls, they eventually disappeared. Being able to see, control, and understand souls allows LiLito learn more about people than they probably knew about themselves. This included himself as well. His own soul could be manipulated and studied just like anybody else's. By comparing his soul to his mother’s, he’s learned all he needed to know about their relation. They might not share blood but they do share similarities in their souls. So, there is no doubt in his mind that he wouldn’t exist in this world without his mother. He doesn’t know how his mom made him but it wasirrefutablethat she did birthed him in some way.

“You made it up but Jing didn’t?” Hu Tao questioned as LiLiopened his eyes at the top of the steps.

LiLilooked down to see his mom still on the first step. A look of shock and worry flashed in his eyes as he saw that her soul was in complete disarray! As he was about to fly down and do whatever he could to help her, he was suddenly stopped by the real Supreme Commander. With a wave of his hand that had a funny smell to it, LiLi,all of a sudden fell asleep and dropped to the ground.

“Supreme Commander!?” Wan Qing and Ying shouted in surprise.

“Don’t mind me. Just continue doing what you were doing before.” Just as soon as he came over, he walked away.

“Why the hell did he put LiLito sleep after he looked at Jing?” Hu Tao noticed.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Ying asked.

“Something is going on with Jing...” Hu Tao had a feeling in his gut. Why else would someone like the Supreme Commander come over here?

“You noticed as well, huh?” Wan said, picking up LiLiand gently carrying him in her arms.

“Does anyone mind explaining what’s happening for me!?” Ying yelled.

“Jing could fail.” Hu Tao state what he felt.

“Jing could fail?” Ying almost couldn’t believe her ears.

“It’smore ofa possibility now...” Wan Qing agreed with him.

“Whatever LiLiwas about to do probably could’ve helped Jing pass but the Supreme Commander noticed. So, he stopped him. This is a test for Jing.” Hu Tao realized.

“Seeing how much she’s struggling against her Heart Demons is probably a test from the Sect Leader has for her to see if she’s worthy of taking their place in the future.” Wan Qing figured.

“So, if Jing passes this, we’re definitely going to become the top faction in the sect...” Ying muttered.

“Ha! Maybe if you weaklings got a bit stronger!” Hu Tao laughed. “We’re nothing compared to the truly strong disciples in the Inner Court. Even if Jing passes this and the Sect Leader declares her the next head of the sect, that won’t mean anything for the rest of us. We could all die just by bumping into the wrong person.”

“Yeah... All of us need to quickly increase our cultivation stages. With how much attention we’re getting lately, it would be for the best.” Wan Qing added.

“Tch, no need to state the obvious. Every cultivator’s goal is to get to the next cultivation stage. Do you think we’re all just messing around because you two are the highest ranked cultivators?” Ying scoffed.

“If you say so.” Wan didn’t mean to sound like she was suggesting that they weren’t trying their best.

“Hmph, just wait. Me, Bing, and Lei will be climbing through the ranks so fast after this tournament that your eyes will probably pop out.” Ying claimed.

“That’ll be the fucking day Princess. I can’t wait to see it.” Hu Tao cackled, obviously notbelievingher in the slightest.

“You’ll see.” Ying was confident.
