The Card Cultivation System
CCS-90

Xika walked to the various turns to confuse the people of the Pavilion.

It didn't take long, it disappeared. The Pavilion people turned their heads to the right and left looking for Xika's figure, but did not manage to find her.

They were gathered in an alley. Total of four people.

"Where did he disappear?"

The others shook their heads.

"Have you checked that direction?" ask the first person while pointing north.

"It has. I've even been looking south, but I still haven't found it."

"May they go into a shop? It may not be visible because of so many people."

"Cannot be. We've checked the nearest store they might have visited and still haven't found it."

Fourthly silent.

"A-what is possible..........he already knows our existence?"

"..........."

"Fttt.......Huahaha......what are you talking about? There's no way a kid that young can feel us."

Before he could continue his words, a voice beside his ear managed to shock him.

"Why is it impossible?"

The man who spoke earlier turned around then stepped back after seeing Xika.

For a moment, no one spoke. Xika and the four people face each other. Then one of them took a knife to distract Xika while the rest immediately ran. They have no doubt at all.

Their job is to follow Xika and try to investigate the secrets she has. Not to fight with him. Before carrying out this task they were given orders that they should not be caught. When that happens, run as fast as possible and do not let their identity be discovered.

But of course Xika would not let them run away. He turned the Space Shifter into a fairly long rope then used it to hold them.

The two people who were too shocked managed to get held back by the Space Shifter while the other two who were quite wary made it past the Space Shifter.

Xika throws two cards at those who manage to escape while the rest he ties. But they are not that weak. Roughly they were all at the level of Forming Qi 3. The Space Shifter would not hold them for a long time. But it manages to give Xika time to chase after the two who run away.

Xika coated her feet with wind element then jumped up to be in front of the two. They were surprised, but not for long.

Realizing that Xika would not let them run away so easily, they decided to fight back. The left one pulled out two knives while the right one pulled out a sword.

The sword-wielding person attacked first. He slapped his sword towards Xika's neck so that Xika lowered her head and faced her friend's knife. But the plan didn't go well.

Instead of bowing to dodge, Xika took out Bai Feng's sword and fended off the sabre. From the direction of the sword-wielding armpits, two knives appeared aiming for Xika's stomach.

The knife user was quite reckless because it attacked from behind his friend's back, which meant he could not see Xika.

Xika used the base of her sword to remove the blade from the blade user's hand. He intended to do the same with the other hand, but the sword-wielding man did not let him do that.

He thrust out his sword that Xika was holding with the flat part of his sword. The knife user stepped forward so that he was now beside the sword user.

Xika walked backwards. He looked back and saw the Space Shifter would not last much longer. He leapt back and forth past the two bound men and then pulled the Space Shifter until two people who were still trying to free themselves were now released.

Now the four of them walked towards Xika. The sword and blade user were in front while the two new free ones were behind them. The four took a fighting position.

Actually they just wanted to scare Xika, but seeing the look in Xika's eyes, they knew that they still hadn't managed to scare her.

The wielder of the sword and the blade lunged forward.

Xika actually still had various weapons, even Huo Bing and Heiliao had yet to show himself, but he was unwilling to show all his strength. The only weapon he could use right now was a knife. He didn't want to use the card, for some reason. Before he threw a card because no one was watching, now the four were staring at him. Two of them pointed their weapons at him.

Xika took out a knife that had some color on it. His own knife.

As the distance between the sword and himself shortened, he jumped up to above the two.

He made a slash move with his knife, and instantly there was also a surge of energy that managed to injure both of them quite badly.

During Xika's time in the tomb, Huo Bing and Heiliao taught her to fight. They did not teach him any other techniques, but they asked Xika to do Single and Pair to the maximum extent. In addition, they also trained him to use that technique with other weapons, not just cards. They say it's important enough.

For example he wanted to hide his identity by not using a card, but he was forced to use a Single, as it is today, that would be of great help.

"First Way: Single."

Xika only said the name of her technique briefly, for some reason she had a premonition of not being able to reveal the Capsah Technique for the time being.

The sword and knife user fell down. Both of them had wide lines on their chests that were constantly bleeding.

When Xika turned around, the two took a step back. Doubt to fight. He threw a card from under his cloak. Because it has been coated with wind elements, then both of them can not see clearly what objects Xika threw.

They managed to stop him. But Xika was already approaching so they could not see the thing Xika threw. Xika took out another knife from her robe. He was armed with two knives.

"Little!"

He threw his saliva at the man who used the axe so that his vision was impaired. But it turns out that it's not just him who's distracted. Even her partner who used the spear was quite surprised by Xika's fighting style.

Both Huo Bing and Heiliao taught Xika various things. Sometimes we have to use different ways to win even if it seems unfair. Spitting is just one of them. But it's quite useful to distract yourself considering that not many people will do that.

Xika managed to land her forging knife in the stomach of the axe user because her attention was diverted. Xika was sure it was enough to hurt him. He moved the target.

The spear user had removed Xika's spit from his eyes so he could see. The first thing he saw was Xika's blade pointing at him.

It didn't take long for Xika to defeat that spear user. The distance was close enough to the spear user that it benefited Xika. The spear is a medium-range weapon. A close combat like Xika did earlier was of course detrimental to the spear user.

Although Xika's blade had landed on their stomachs, but the two still had not lost consciousness. Unlike the two of their colleagues who have been exposed to Singles. They are already sprawled with lives that will soon be lost.

Xika hit the face of the axe user until he fainted. The same thing he did with the spear user.

Now all four are unconscious.

"Now what? Should I kill them?" ask Xika.

Heiliao came out from behind Xika's robe while Huo Bing formed his form and instantly perched on Xika's shoulders. The two of them looked at each other and then shook their heads.

"no need. Until now our relationship with the Pavilion has been neutral. We are not their friends, but we are not enemies. For a while we don't have to kill them. But maybe in the future it will be different."

Xika nodded.

"So I have to take them now? Leave it?"

"Yes. Let's go before someone else comes."

Xika reinserted both knives and then exited the alley. He made sure that no one would notice him coming out of the alley.

He went back for a walk. It feels different to know that you're not being followed by people anymore. He's traversing the city. Stop by the various stalls on the side of the road. He looked around at the various items sold along the way but nothing drew his eyes.

Huo Bing and Heiliao? They pay no attention to anything other than food. Xika had already bought them more than ten snacks but they still asked for them again. Xika spent several hours walking around the city.

The sun had started to fall even though it had not set. Xika felt that it was time for her to find an inn.

He asked some people where the inn was good enough. Everyone has the same answer.

The Hot Spring Inn.

Spring means spring. But the owner added Hot's word in front of him which made it weird. Even so, no one would hesitate to call it the best inn in Yuan city.

After asking a few times, Xika finally arrived. In front of him stood a large building that was quite luxurious. To the right of the door are trees that create the impression of spring. The building is quite unique because it is made entirely of wood. Even so, it did not reduce his luxurious impression.

"Hei Huo Bing, the Pavilion people have already been cleared. Do I still need to stay at this inn?"

"Who knew they were sending people again" Huo Bing said as he shrugged.

"Then you don't need the most expensive room, right?"

"Of course it is necessary. You can find out the members of the upper class by being on the same floor as them. You can look at their characters and choose which ones you will make enemies and friends."

Xika frowned confusedly.

"Aren't they supposed to live in their respective clans? Why are they staying at the inn?"

Huo Bing immediately whistled while turning her eyes away.

"Anyway, rent's the best."

Xika sighs. He entered the inn and booked the best room according to Huo Bing. After paying the lodging fee in advance, the receptionist gave the room key as well as dropping Xika off at her room.

Xika's room was on the top floor, so it took some time to reach it. In the middle of the street, the receptionist told the location of the bath and the restaurant. The three are separate, but still in one building.

"Please sir, room 826."

After handing over the room key, the receptionist leaned over with a smile then turned back to the reception desk.

Xika did not go straight into her room. He looked around first. Then he looked down. There are other guests coming.

At first Xika did not care much, but the guest clothes caught her attention. More like a symbol on his shirt.

Symbols of birds and snakes fighting.
