Chapter 12: Assessment Begins
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Zhao Shiheng finished his lecture, Lin Bai was about to leave when he was stopped by a pair of slender hands. He looked up and saw that it was Chen Wu.
“Lin Bai, I want to spar with you.”
Her clear and cold female voice was like jade in the mountains, but also like an oriole coming out of the valley. Chen Wu stared at him, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.
If it was before, Chen Wu might not have taken this sparring partner seriously, but now she had no choice but to take him seriously.
Lin Bai was only at Houtian level 4 before and now he was already at Houtian level 5 after just a few days. This really surprised her.
Level 4 to level 5 was a small hurdle. Chen Wu was really curious, how did Lin Bai do it in such a short time.
Fortunately, they did not know that Lin Bai’s true strength was actually at Houtian level 6. Otherwise, there would have been another wave of commotion.
Many students stopped and looked around. Their eyes were filled with gossip. After all, Chen Wu had never challenged someone in public like this before. The boos were endless.
“Lin Bai, answer her!”
“Lin Bai, we support you!”
Many boys were still whistling. Chen Wu swept a sharp glance over and they immediately fell silent. One could see how powerful her pressure was.
Seeing that Lin Bai did not respond for a long time, Chen Wu could not help but raise her eyebrows. “How is it? Do you want to spar or not?”
Lin Bai’s expression was indifferent. He did not have the will to fight. He still wanted to go back and continue his cultivation. However, looking at Chen Wu’s expression, if she did not get an answer, she probably would not give up easily.
“I can’t beat you, and I have to continue to cultivate.”
It was impossible for anyone to believe what she said. Chen Wu saw through Lin Bai’s intention to avoid a fight, and her eyes turned cold. “If that’s the case –”
She unfolded her folding fan, and a divine light suddenly appeared, as if it could cut people’s eyes. All the spiritual power in her body pressed down on Lin Bai, trying to force him to make a move.
However, a green shadow coiled around Lin Bai’s shoulder, and it was so fast that it looked like a ghost. The green light in Little Green’s eyes flickered, and it accurately landed on Chen Wu’s fan.
“Click!”
The fan that had just been opened was quickly closed by an unknown force.
At the same time, Chen Wu felt as if she had been targeted by some ancient ferocious beast. A chill ran down her back, and her shoulder seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She couldn’t move at all.
In just an instant, by the time Chen Wu reacted, Lin Bai had already walked far away.
Everyone saw that Chen Wu’s expression was a little ugly and thought that she was feeling unwell. Her companion asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
Chen Wu shook her head and said in a low voice, “I’m fine.”
Looking at the direction in which Lin Bai had left, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes. Recalling the feeling just now, could it be that she was hallucinating.
Meanwhile, Lin Bai, who had already walked far away, revealed a smile and flicked Little Green’s head.
“You Little smart-ass. It’s all thanks to your help that I was able to get away. Otherwise, if I really had to fight with her, wouldn’t it be a waste of time and energy? If I have the time, I might as well go back and give my cultivation away.”
Hearing the words ‘give my cultivation away, Little Green’s eyes lit up, and her tongue spat out even more happily, as if she was urging Lin Bai to hurry back.
Lin Bai once again came to the abandoned basement at the back of the mountain. He sat down cross-legged and circulated his spiritual energy. A faint white fog surrounded him, layer after layer. From afar, it looked like a huge white cocoon.
As he breathed, the spiritual energy became purer and rushed into his meridians. If Lin Bai’s meridians were like a small stream before, they were now as wide as a river.
Even so, a lot of spiritual energy still flowed out of his body, which benefited Little Green. It stretched its body to its heart’s content and absorbed the spiritual energy into its body.
“Ding!”
“The host has passed on three days of cultivation to Little Green.”
“Twenty times of return has been successfully triggered!”
“The host has gained sixty days of cultivation!”
Lin Bai opened his eyes. He felt as if every pore on his body had been opened, and spiritual energy flowed through his body like a river. He threw a casual punch to the side.
Although the basement was abandoned, it was extremely sturdy. Even the materials used were top-quality ores, so it was difficult for external forces to damage it. However, the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking. It could fall at any time.
If Lin Bai had not stopped his attack in time, there might really have been a risk of collapse. He could only walk out of the basement to avoid destroying his cultivation grounds he found with great difficulty
“Bang!”
With the force of Lin Bai’s punch, the boulder that was half the height of a man actually shattered, as if it was tofu.
Even Lin Bai himself was a little surprised. He had no doubt that if he fought a beast that was on the same level as him, they would probably not be able to last more than a few rounds in his hands even though they were known for their defences.
“Since it’s so powerful...”
At the same time, Lin Bai fed Little Green a lot of spiritual essence water. This little guy was also greedy. It didn’t reject anything that came at it. It collapsed on the ground as if it had drunk too much. Even its small belly was bulging.
“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll die from overeating?”
Although that was what he said, Lin Bai wasn’t worried. After all, Little Green had the bloodline of the Azure Dragon.
Little Green crawled over and rubbed itself against him. The small bump on its head grew a little bigger. Lin Bai also noticed that there were a few pairs of tiny claws growing out of its belly.
Although its body hadn’t changed much, the scales on its body had been forged to become even more translucent and emerald green, making it look extremely hard.
“It looks more like a flood dragon now.”
From a snake to a flood dragon, Lin Bai was looking forward to the day when Little Green could evolve into an Azure Dragon.
Soon, it was time for the assessment. There were quite a lot of people participating this time, about half of the people in the academy.
“For our assessment this time, the first place will be rewarded with 100,000 crystals, a martial arts manual and two pet skill books, the second place will be rewarded with 50,000 crystals and martial arts manuals, and the third place will be rewarded with 30,000 crystals and pet skill book.”
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar. They did not expect the academy to be so generous. Compared to the previous rewards, the reward this time was several times more.
The format of the competition was also different from the previous ones. It was a one-on-one format, just like the one in the ring. The ring master would guard the ring well and the others would challenge the ring by drawing lots at random.
There were pros and cons to this format. For a moment, everyone had different expressions on their faces.
“If we were to encounter a powerful ring master, we would be in trouble. However, if we were to encounter a weak one, we might still have a chance.”
“The academy isn’t stupid. How could they let you take advantage of this loophole? Didn’t you hear the teacher say that the final few ring masters left still have to compete against each other?”
The students were discussing animatedly over there. However, the first person to appear had already walked onto the stage.
It was actually Luo Qin!
“What? It’s actually this demon god? Oh my god, please don’t let me fight with him.”
Everyone was a little flustered.. Who didn’t know Luo Qin’s strength? He was one of the best in the academy, and encountering him basically meant that there was no hope.
