The Card Cultivation System
CCS-23

Xika fell asleep until it was quite dark.

Huo Bing deliberately did not wake her, because the cause of Xika falling asleep was her asking about Xika's past and making her depressed.

When Xika wakes up, they do not discuss Xika's past, acting as if nothing happened.

"Well, one more animal and your debt is paid off. "

Xika frowned for a while then she recalled her promise to Huo Bing and immediately nodded.

Xika walked again several hundred meters until he finally found a group of Spirit Beasts.

That Spirit Beast was the Flame Monkey. The same Spirit Beast that Xika met when he assigned Huo Bing to look for seasoning.

That Flame Monkey on average had a cultivation level of White 4 which was equivalent to Qi Gathering 9.

"Hey Huo Bing, if this is still accepted, right? Although they were White level 4 but their number was over 15."

"It's okay. After all this group of Flame Monkeys had a Monkey King."

"What's? Why don't I feel it?"

Xika went straight up to a nearby tree to hide herself.

"It's weird that you can feel it. This Monkey King is one of the animals that are good at hiding their own existence. A commoner who doesn't understand anything will think this is just a bunch of Flame Monkeys."

"How high is his cultivation?"

"Hmmm..... Looks like it's at Red 2."

"Dam."

That Monkey King was at the Red 2 level which was equivalent to a Qi 5 Forming stage cultivator. Fighting against a Red level 1 alone was already difficult, now he had to fight a Red level 4 Spirit Beast, plus a bunch of Flame Monkeys that numbered roughly 20.

"What if we look for another animal? I'll pay 2 times"

"You're not allowed to back down. Just a Monkey King accompanied by a few Flame Monkeys you are already scared. Besides, if you want to find another animal, you have to pay at least 10 times"

"Damn it"

Xika took a deep breath. After that he threw a stone.

The stone was not enough to injure those Flame Monkeys, but it was enough to attract their attention.

That group of Flame Monkeys started to approach towards the tree that Xika was in.

They sniffed to find out where the stone came from.

While Xika was still on top of the tree, looking for the whereabouts of the Monkey King.

He finally found it.

In the middle of the Flame Monkey that was gathering, there was a monkey that had a body larger than the monkeys around it. The monkey had a kind of crown on its head that added to its splendor.

Xika looked at the contents of the pouch that was on her waist.

'Enough for 5 minutes'

Xika took a breath once more then threw all the contents of the pouch on her waist.

The contents of the bag of powder hit almost the entire Flame Monkey.

"KIKKKK!!!"

"KIKKK!!"

The Flame Monkeys shouted as they felt something enter their noses and their bodies could not be moved.

Xika jumped while kicking from the tree where she was before.

His kick successfully dropped the 2 Flame Monkeys.

The other Flame Monkeys cried out in shock when they saw a human suddenly appear and drop their comrade. But they couldn't move because of the powder Xika had sprinkled so all they could do was scream.

Xika struck several Flame Monkeys around her until she heard a quite frightening growl.

Xika turned around and saw a Monkey King looking at her with anger.

He prepares to fight.

Although the Monkey King is strong, but the poison powder he spread earlier still has an effect on the Monkey King. At least the powder made the Monkey King feel heavy to move his body. But the powder only worked 5 minutes because of the limited amount.

So Xika had to kill the Monkey King and escape from the Flame Monkey group within 5 minutes. It might not be too difficult to escape from the group of Flame Monkeys, but the difficult thing was to kill the Monkey King within 5 minutes.

The Monkey King jumped up and aimed his punch towards Xika's head.

Xika brushed off the Monkey King's punch and punched him in the stomach.

THE DUAKK!!

Xika managed to hit the Monkey King, but her hand turned red. While the Monkey King only took two steps back.

"Damn, it's so hot."

Although Xika had already mastered the fire element and had a certain immunity to fire, but the fire in the Monkey King's body was not something he could withstand.

"Of course it's stupid. He is the king of the Flame Monkey. Otherwise it's hot then he won't be the king of the Flame Monkey."

"But still....."

"Eat him use your element"

Actually Xika did not want to use her element just in case she did not manage to kill the Monkey King in 5 minutes so that she could still run. But it seems he has no other choice. He had to kill the Monkey King as quickly as possible.

The water symbol lit up in Xika's right eye.

He threw some water balls that the Monkey King had easily avoided.

Not waiting for the Monkey King to finish dodging, Xika directly advanced and kicked the Monkey King with a foot that was covered in water.

The Monkey King dodged his kick. He punched Xika who was being held with both hands.

Xika retreated as far as 3 meters as a result of holding back the Monkey King's punch.

Monkey King did not give Xika time to breathe. He immediately went forward giving Xika a streak of blows.

Xika held him back with great difficulty, and every time she held back the Monkey King's punch her hand grew red despite being coated with water.

Xika threw a sizable water ball using her feet as her hands were busy withstanding the Monkey King's punch.

The Monkey King retreated to avoid Xika's attack. While Xika stood up with an irregular breathing. The attack just now consumed half his qi. Coupled with the qi he used to coat himself with water, now his qi was only a quarter.

The Monkey King formed a fireball in his hand then threw it towards Xika.

Xika avoided the fireball by retreating backwards.

"Here, his body is stronger than mine, whereas a long-range attack doesn't work and just drains my energy."

"really?"

"What?"

"Is it true that the monkey has a stronger body than yours?"

Xika was silent for a moment.

Actually the Monkey King did not have a body stronger than Xika's body. Probably the same or even weaker. It was just that Xika thought that the Monkey King's body was stronger than her body because every time she attacked or defended from the Monkey King, her hands were in pain.

He forgot that the Monkey King also coated his hands and feet with qi to form fire. The Monkey King should have more or less the same qi as Xika.

The Monkey King came back. This time he swung his tail.

Xika lowered her head then kicked back with her feet covered in earth elements.

In addition to reducing the heat he received also strengthened his kick.

The Monkey King held back Xika's kick with both hands, yet he was still knocked back a few meters.

Just when the situation started to be favorable for Xika, the surrounding Flame Monkey was again able to make a move. Without realizing it 5 minutes had passed and he failed to kill the Monkey King.

Now he was surrounded by the Flame Monkey with the Monkey King right in front of him.

Xika tried to reduce the number of Flame Monkeys around her, but the Monkey King did not let her do that.

Currently Xika's condition was almost the same as that of the Monkey King, they were both exhausted and out of qi. The Monkey King would not let Xika reduce the number of Flame Monkeys that would make the situation turn around.

Although he could use the Flame Monkeys to drain Xika's energy and at the same time recover his energy, he was unwilling to do that, as it would definitely take the life of the Flame Monkey by no small amount. Although he can win, but he does not want to sacrifice his people.

Now Xika was attacked by the Monkey King as well as other Flame Monkeys.

Slowly, Xika was getting desperate and finally a punch hit her chest.

Xika was thrown a few meters away.

"Ohuk..."

Not yet Xika stood up, another punch came that was now heading towards her stomach.

Soon Xika was beaten simultaneously by the Flame Monkeys as well as the Monkey King.

Huo Bing was about to form her body considering Xika's current condition was quite bad, but suddenly a light shone from Xika's chest.

More precisely from behind Xika's cloak.

Xika took out the object and he was surprised to see that the object he took out was his father's card deck.

The deck of the card let out a ray bright enough to make that group of Flame Monkeys retreat.

Xika was still speechless to see her father's card-given deck glow.

He knew nothing all along about that deck of cards.

Suddenly a technique appeared in his head.

"Capsah technique.....?"

Xika took the top card from that pile of cards and made a slashing move using that card.

"First Way: Single"

A wave of slashes came from Xika. That slash killed almost all of the Flame Monkeys, whereas the Monkey King was struck quite badly.

A slash wound appeared on the Monkey King's stomach and blood dripped down quite a lot.

Xika had no idea what was happening but he immediately made a move killing the surviving Monkey King and Flame Monkey.

Then the deck of the card is dimmed and again looks like a regular deck of cards.

However the technique that appeared in Xika's head did not disappear. He remembered the technique.

Huo Bing immediately formed his body and looked at the scene around, making sure that the thing he felt was not wrong.

"Xika's? What's going on?"

"Let's go. I don't know, I just remember......"

Xika fell asleep. His body had expended too much energy today, especially for the latter technique.
