Of course, Ye Mo didn't forget about the Love Miracle Immortal Pill, but he couldn't use the girl's heart as a refinement ingredient.
First, even if he helped her, it didn't mean she would love him, particularly with the experience she just went through, it was unlikely for her to wallow in a relationship with a man any time soon.
Moreover, doing this would mean he had to tag with her during the competition. His goal in this place was to gain a peak-tier battle skill, moving with her the whole time would seriously impede him at some point and negatively affect his score while she would see all his abilities as well.
For someone as secretive as Ye Mo, it was problematic.
Last of all, she was a member of an institute, if she disappeared in the future because Ye Mo attempted the refinement of the pill, the higher-ups would notice sooner or later. At this point, with the bond he created with the girl, it would be easy to retrace everything back to him and discover his evil deed.
In truth, if Ye Mo was to charm someone and refine the Love Miracle Immortal Pill, he knew it couldn't be in Azure Water City.
Too many people who knows him, too many eyes, too many restrictions, danger was everpresent in this environment for demonic cultivators. The more humans gathered, the more cautious you have to be, people are not idiots, once they notice something amiss, they would dig deeper until they find the truth.
The most important trait is that Ye Mo had no time, he would leave the city in just a few days and might never return.
What connection could bloom in such a short period?
"This punch he used, it must be a high-tier battle skill, and what is this pair of wrist guard, a mid or high-tier spiritual weapon?" Zhao Da Xiong evaluated Ye Mo's strength, replaying the way he killed the girl in his mind.
He was pleasantly surprised by what he saw, at least, this kid had some use.
The Stone Breaking Punch was so powerful he mistook it to a high-tier battle skill, unaware this was due to Ye Mo's body refining cultivation.
"It's a pity she died, but I guess you had no choice. Now we can speak our minds in peace." Zhao Da Xiong approached Ye Mo without showing any hostility.
"What was this collaboration you mentionned previously, be short and concise, it better be worth my time." Ye Mo warned, giving him the side-eye.
"I think we should cooperate, we will be stronger together. You have seen my token right, I am not accumulating any points, actually I don't care about them so all those we gain by our mutual work, I will let you have them. How does that sound?"
"Why are you participating in this competition if you don't care about your place nor the rewards?" Ye Mo was perplexed.
Many died daily in this forest, who in their right mind would come here if they didn't have anything to gain?
"Hmph, I can't worry about these, even if I worked myself to the bone, I probably wouldn't even make it to the top 100, what's the point in trying for nothing. I just want to have fun and introduce myself to the female participants, you see, my Violet Stimulant Fumes battle skill works like a powerful aphrodisiac with women, once they are affected, they can't even unleash half of their strength. After I beat them a bit, I have all the leisure to initiate them to the carnal pleasures, hehe." Zhao Da Xiong laughed sinisterly.
"Where could I freely take so many girls without any repercussions than in such circumstances? But you see, Violet Stimulant Fumes has no effect against men, at best, it can only be used as a smokescreen to escape, which I experimented a few times already, that's why I need you. With your help, I am sure we can defeat most of the guys around while I have my ways with the girls present, you get all the points while I satisfy my urges, isn't that the perfect plan?"
He was jubilating as he gave his intention to Ye Mo, already excited thinking of his next victims.
The women hit by Violet Stimulant Fumes battle skill were extremely weakened and could only have the help of a man to be relieved of the heat or wait in suffering a moderate period of time for the symptoms to fade away. However, in this forest where roamed hungry blood beasts and bloodthirsty participants, choosing the second option was particularly dangerous and left your fate up to luck.
This battle skill was very effective against women, but harmless to men. Zhao Da Xiong was only at the 8th layer of the Qi Refining Realm and Violet Stimulant Fumes was the main card of his battle system, without its help, his battle strength was weak, below the average cultivator of this level.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
In short he was strong against women, but weak against men.
To counter this, Zhao Da Xiong learned several other battle skills to protect himself and escape, but to defeat men by himself, it was too difficult.
In a do or die situation against a powerful one, he would be helpless. That's where Ye Mo entered the fray, a strong fighter like him with battle strength above his cultivation, if he could work in tandem with someone like this, it would definitely cover that weakness of his.
"Are you not afraid all the women of the city will join hands and go on a crusade against you?"
Zhao Da Xiong had a bad reputation, everyone knew of his lustful nature and the repeated assaults he commited against women.
Humans aren't those to passively suffer wind and tide.
If pushed too far, it wouldn't be surprising that many females would start plotting his downfall, institute's student or not.
Zhao Da Xiong snorted loudly, "Of course not, why would they? Not only I don't kill them, I won't even steal their points and they get to experience a very good time in my company. At my place, anyone would execute them the first chance they have after defeating their opponent, but I don't even break their tokens so they can keep participating in the competition, so in reality, I must be the most charitable person of Azure Water City."
"The setting is important here, we are in an important competition where everyone kill each other for points, in this situation everyone is a potential foe, the victor can do whatever he see fit with the loser. After defeating a mortal enemy, whatever you do is up to you, who would blame you for this? They might resent me, but they wouldn't go as far as joining hands to kill me, after all, it's not like I was walking on the streets forcing myself on every good looking girls I see, I am risking my life in this forest as well."
No matter his frivolous personality, Zhao Da Xiong was actually more down to earth than he seemed to be.
If he joined these kind of competitions even though he doesn't hope to have a hand at the rewards, it's precisely because it was particularly ideal to let go of his obscene impulses, he wouldn't dare act this way outside these events.
Since he was young, his mind has always been filled with indecent thoughts and when his sexual impulses bloomed, he found it hard to contain them.
When he discovered the Violet Stimulant Fumes battle skill in the Golden Martial Institute collection, he immediately yearned for it even though he knew it was of no use in a fight against men.
Among all the female participants of the competition, there was only one he didn't wish to indulge with in an intimate relationship.
The young mistress of the Yan clan.
She displayed great prowesses and is hailed as the strongest woman participating, to the extent Zhao Da Xiong wasn't certain he could win even if she was impacted by Violet Stimulant Fumes battle skill.
However, it wasn't what preoccupied him in this case, but her face. Just thinking about her was enough for him to lose any will to partake in such activities, no girls ever had such a strong impact on him, to the point it would kill his libido.
All he could hope for was to not cross paths with her.
Ye Mo was indifferent to his interlocutor's nature as he thought about the proposition for some time, his eyes wandering on the scenery.
"Do you have an investigative battle skill?" He suddenly asked turning towards Zhao Da Xiong.
This one nodded affirmatively, beaming a smile.
"Then let's go, we stayed at this place more than needed".
"I knew you were a smart man the second I saw you!" Zhao Da Xiong raised his right hand, trying to seal the deal.
Ye Mo just brushed past him without looking at it as he inquired, "Did you sense someone else in the surroundings?"
"No, I used it not too long ago, but you were the only one around." Zhao Da Xiong shook his head, following behind him.
Ye Mo used Wind Flow to move faster at the research of participants to steal their points.
Zhao Da Xiong had no trouble following him, his movement battle skill was of much better quality and he could speak and use his investigative battle skill at the same time.
With this one, Ye Mo and his partner could immediately detect anyone in a perimeter of 400 paces as long as the person didn't use a particular battle skill like Shadow Walk or Silent Steps to hide his presence.
Ye Mo progressed much faster this way, without the need to search the area extensively to make sure he didn't miss anyone, he traveled a great distance easily.
Quickly, a student was found by the pair of wicked cultivators.
