My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading

As Zheng Huang prepared to confront the demon beasts and take the spiritual qi vein, Feng Fan arrived at the pond, his eyes narrowing as he took in the sight of cultivators sitting motionless within it.

"So many people got here before me. But something feels... off."

Before he could analyze the situation further, two familiar voices called out from behind him.

"Fanfan!"

"Feng Fan!"

Turning around, he saw Huang Xue and Xue Qiang approaching him. A smile broke across his face.

"Hey! I'm glad to see you two are safe."

"Feng Fan, I'm so glad you're safe. After what that old dog did, I was worried you might have been killed…" Xue Qiang said, her voice tinged with relief.

Huang Xue nodded silently in agreement, her expression softening.

"Come on, it's not that easy to kill me," Feng Fan said with a smirk. "If anything, it's my enemies who should be worried!"

Xue Qiang and Huang Xue chuckled at his confidence.

"Seeing as you haven't lost your sense of humor, it's clear you're fine," Xue Qiang said with a smile. "But I'm still amazed you managed to advance two stages in such a short time."

"And what about you two?" Feng Fan replied, glancing at them. "I can tell you've both reached the peak of the 6th stage."

"Feng Fan," Huang Xue said, shifting the conversation. "We've been waiting here for another reason. Zheng Huang, the one competing with you in the wager from the Blue Dragon Sect, claimed that this pool is part of a natural trap array and might be connected to a spiritual qi vein. Do you know anything about that?"

Feng Fan's eyes widened in surprise at her words. "A natural trap array? A spiritual qi vein?"

His mind raced as he processed the information. 'If this spiritual qi vein is anything like what's described in cultivation novels, then it's a treasure we should take…'

Feng Fan activated his spiritual qi vision, carefully observing the pond before him.

He noticed the water was saturated with spiritual qi, which the cultivators were attempting to absorb.

Unfortunately, instead of strengthening themselves, their spiritual qi was gradually being siphoned away, flowing into the water and then toward the peak's summit.

As his gaze traveled across the pond and up to the peak, he discerned traces of an array formation.

Although his understanding of arrays was limited, the situation made some things clear.

Based on what he observed, the formation appeared to be a combination of a qi-gathering array and an illusion array.

Unlike typical spiritual qi-gathering arrays, which only pulled energy from the environment, this one was far more sinister, drawing qi directly from living beings.

'So it's true… Just as they said,' Feng Fan thought. 'Unlike man-made arrays, which usually have some form of defense against tampering, this natural array seems much easier to manipulate. What if I…'

A plan began to form in Feng Fan's mind, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

He turned to face Huang Xue and Xue Qiang, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

"Ladies, I've got an idea..."

—

Zheng Huang led the charge against the five demon beasts.

Rather than wielding traditional cold sharp weapons, he equipped himself with a pair of reinforced knuckles.

"Thunder Hawk Punch!" he roared.

A surge of lightning energy enveloped his fists as he closed in on a towering, four-meter-tall lion. The beast snarled, its golden mane bristling, but Zheng Huang's charge speed didn't decrease.

Behind him, the faint, illusionary outline of a hawk manifested, wings spread wide.

This proved his high mastery of the Thunder Hawk technique. This display of skill was also a clear indication of his near-ascension to the Foundation Establishment realm.

The only thing holding Zheng Huang back from advancing was his deliberate choice to delay his breakthrough. Discover more content at empire

Entering the Foundation Establishment realm would have triggered the pocket dimension's heavenly laws, forcibly ejecting him from it.

If it weren't for the pocket dimension entrance, he could have broken through a month ago!

The lion made its move as well, swinging its paw toward him. Their attacks collided, sending shockwaves through the air.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

While Zheng Huang charged head-on, Jia Qiang circled the beast and attacked from the side.

"Thunder Palm!"

Jia Qiang's palm, charged with electrical spiritual qi, struck the lion's vulnerable side, sending a jolt through its body.

"ROAAAAAR!"

The lion roared in fury, its eyes turning red as it glared at Jia Qiang.

But it didn't just end with Jia Qiang.

Soon, two more cultivators joined the battle. One wielding a spear and the other a pair of sickles. Together, they attacked the beast.

"Sunlight Spear Thrust!"

"Dragon Slash!"

They were the same two men in black robes adorned with a sun emblem who had attacked Feng Fan on the first day he arrived at the pocket dimension.

The lion had a tough hide, but as the attacks continued, its injuries began to accumulate. It could barely fight back. Despite demon beasts typically being stronger than human cultivators of the same realm, this one was surrounded by ten!

While Zheng Huang held off its furious attacks, the other nine cultivators gradually wore it down, dealing continuous damage.

Similar scenes repeated across the battlefield. Each demon beast was being assaulted by a group of ten human cultivators!

Within minutes, all the demon beasts were defeated with relative ease.

"Excellent! Let's begin the extraction," Zheng Huang declared, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

He was already envisioning the immense rewards the sect would bestow upon him for delivering such a precious resource.

As the Blue Dragon Sect disciples approached the rock embedded with the spiritual qi vein, a wave of intense flames erupted, blocking their path.

"Hellfire Thrust!"

Xue Qiang appeared behind them, her spear's tip engulfed in flames as she hurled it toward the group. The air around them turned scorching, forcing the disciples to jump to the side to avoid the flaming attack.

Zheng Huang turned to face her, his eyes burning with fury.

"You dare to stand in my way?! You insolent bitch!"
