Chapter 31 Chen Xiaohu was taken away
Chapter 31 Chen Xiaohu was taken away
After the second round of competition, because it was getting late, the third round was postponed to tomorrow. Bao Zheng said that the eight people who advanced should still gather at the playground on Island No. 9 tomorrow.
The third round was similar to the first, both being search-based, but instead of finding the bronze medal, it was a search for the Wanxian Festival ticket. As a result, Ye Xiaoxuan found it not long after the competition started.
Then, the Wanxian Festival admission ticket was shoved into the arms of a bewildered Chen Xiaohu by Ye Xiaoxuan, who looked shy.
That's right, Ye Xiaoxuan still managed to win over Chen Xiaohu while teaming up with him.
Originally wanting to spar with a master, Long Yuan ended up searching for something in the third round. Frustrated at not getting what he wanted, he crossed his arms and exuded a low-pressure aura as his gaze swept over Fang Xiu and the others.
In Long Yuan's view, there were only a handful of people in the entire grade who could rival him. Fang Xiu, needless to say, had been famous since the beginning of the school year, and his strength was unfathomable.
Cui Shao is another one; his cultivation level isn't necessarily weaker than his. Then there's Chen Xiaohu, whom Long Yuan targeted in the first round; his opponent is also very strong. Finally, there's Bai Xiao, Long Yuan's teammate from the previous round.
Among all the students in the same grade, only these four could be considered rivals by Long Yuan.
Since this competition is unsuccessful, Long Yuan plans to fight them one by one, but which one should he fight first?
As the final ceremony came to an end, everyone went home. Fang Xiu and the others naturally returned to Xuan Yi Residence.
Upon hearing the final result, Xuan Yi, who was still studying the formula for his Spirit Realm Mystic Elixir, curled his lip in disdain.
"That Bao Zheng guy just loves to spout all this nonsense. Cultivators should be competing in combat strength, not in finding things. It's ridiculous!"
While stirring the newly developed Spirit Realm Mystic Power Liquid (Version 3.0), Xuan Yi complained about Bao Zheng's final exam ceremony. In his opinion, cultivators should be judged by their combat strength, and things like searching for items were too boring.
Of the group, only Chen Xiaohu, the dull-witted one, nodded in agreement. To be honest, he didn't listen to what Xuan Yi was saying at all; he just nodded subconsciously.
Xuan Yi didn't expect the others to complain with him. After failing to research the Spirit Realm Mystic Elixir, he flew off to find Bao Zheng. He hadn't forgotten the bet. Xuan Yi seriously suspected that Bao Zheng, that charcoal-faced guy, had deliberately designed the competition like this to renege on his debt. Otherwise, how could a competition be based on luck rather than strength? Is that even possible?
"What do we do next?"
After Xuan Yi left, Fang Xiu and the others lay down on the lawn outside. Then Yan Xiaoqi couldn't wait to extend an invitation. Don't misunderstand, of course it wasn't to go to the underworld. Having finally gotten out and free from constraints, Yan Xiaoqi didn't want to go back.
With a two-month vacation ahead, Yan Xiaoqi neither wanted to go home nor stay cooped up in the academy.
"How about we go..."
As Yan Xiaoqi excitedly recounted his plans, Fang Xiu stared blankly at the sky. This was probably the last moment of leisure for Fang Xiu and his companions.
Starting from this holiday, a series of major events will follow one after another, as if a fast-forward button has been pressed. In the next two or three years, the world of Shenjingbang will come to its final chapter.
No one can say for sure what the outcome will be.
Although Chen Xiaohu won in the original ending, there was a lot of luck involved, and any change could affect the future development.
Unless Fang Xiu does nothing, but that's impossible, Fang Xiu has already affected the original story's plot.
Besides, who says he's bound to lose?
Fang Xiu stared directly at the round sun, his eyes shining with an unprecedented light. In the end, a person has to rely on themselves!
Gray fog space, give me some points!
The barrier of the tenth level of Jade Void shattered without anyone noticing, and Fang Xiu's cultivation level jumped slightly. Fang Xiu's body was like a bottomless pit, wantonly plundering the surrounding spiritual energy.
As a pure spiritual cultivator, Cui Shao possessed strong spiritual sense and immediately noticed the changes in Fang Xiu. He then pulled Yan Xiaoqi and Chen Xiaohu away.
"What's wrong with him?"
"It's a breakthrough."
Cui Shao's voice was filled with disbelief. He remembered that Fang Xiu had already broken through to the ninth level of the Jade Void Realm last time, so if he broke through again this time, wouldn't that mean...?
"The tenth level of Jade Void!"
Thinking of this, Cui Shao couldn't help but gasp. It was truly terrifying!
The tenth level of Jade Void is also known as the Perfection of Jade Void. Once you reach this level, there is no further progress in Jade Void, and only by breaking through can you become stronger.
After breaking through to the tenth level, Fang Xiu's most direct feeling was the increase in the amount of mana in his body. Compared with the ninth level, the mana in the tenth level of Jade Void increased by 50% on the original basis. Not only the quantity, but also the quality of mana was more condensed.
"I think it would taste better with some cumin."
"No, no, no, it's definitely going to be spicy. Cumin doesn't taste good."
Just as Fang Xiu was about to test the changes after breaking through to the tenth level, he opened his eyes and heard two familiar voices discussing something. He turned his head and saw Cui Shao, Yan Xiaoqi, and Xuan Yi squatting by the fire.
Fang Xiu: ? ? ?
What are these people doing?
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the group was barbecuing. Cui Shao was grilling chicken wings, while Yan Xiaoqi and Xuan Yi were arguing about the flavors.
But where is Chen Xiaohu? Shouldn't this be Chen Xiaohu's home turf? Where is he?
"Xiao Hu?" Yan Xiaoqi took a bite of a chicken wing, meat still in her mouth, and said, "He's in the infirmary, he hasn't woken up yet."
"Didn't you break through earlier? We were supposed to be watching over you, but then Teacher Xuanyi came back and asked us to get some food."
"On the way to Xuanyuan Restaurant, we ran into Long Yuan, and then Long Yuan and Xiao Hu started fighting."
"Xiao Hu lost? That can't be right, is Long Yuan that strong?"
He sat down and picked up a skewer of chicken wings to eat. Fang Xiu was a little confused when he heard this. No, he admitted that Long Yuan was quite strong, but could he really beat Chen Xiaohu?
It's not that Fang Xiu looks down on Long Yuan, but Chen Xiaohu is indeed overpowered, ridiculously so. On the surface, it's Yu Xu fighting Yu Xu, but in reality, it's Tai Xu fighting Yu Xu. It would be a miracle if they could actually fight.
"Of course not." Cui Shao shook his head and continued, "Actually, Xiao Hu won, but he wasn't in the right state at the time. After winning, he suddenly had a nosebleed and then fainted, which is why he went to the infirmary."
After hearing Cui Shao's words, Fang Xiu nodded in understanding. It seemed that the influence of the Dongyi King in Xiao Hu's body was what caused Xiao Hu's coma.
While Fang Xiu and the others were still eating chicken wings, two figures quietly slipped into Chen Xiaohu's hospital room.
Although the ward was completely dark, the two figures ignored the darkness and walked toward Chen Xiaohu, who was lying on the bed.
"Gentlemen, what brings you here uninvited, sir? What are you planning to do to Xiao Hu?"
Dr. Bai, the school doctor of Shenxiang Baoan Hall and a former disciple of Xuan Yi, was quietly standing at the door, gazing at the two uninvited guests in the ward.
"Excuse me, we are examiners from Heaven. We have some questions for this young boy. We were in a hurry and didn't see you, so we came in on our own."
The two people in the ward were none other than the two examiners that Bao Zheng had introduced earlier. The taller one with a ruddy complexion waved his hand and explained.
Invigilator?
Dr. Bai didn't believe a word of this. She sensed a very faint demonic aura from the two guys who claimed to be proctors. Based on this alone, she could tell that these two sneaky people had ill intentions.
"Sigh~ It's because we're the same kind of people that you could see through me."
The "proctor" who was just smiling now had a stern face. The shock of the previous discovery had made their disguise flawed. They hadn't expected to encounter a demon here. If being soft didn't work, they had to be tough!
"Since that's the case, then don't blame us for being impolite! Demon-Binding Rope!"
No one knows what happened inside Baoan Hall. When Fang Xiu and the others arrived to visit Xiao Hu, they only saw a messy ward and Doctor Bai tied up in a puddle of slime.
