Chapter 256: Blood-soaked Liu Feng

Ji Hongbin said, “Not yet. Everyone took a different test for this solo a.s.sessment, so the time taken would differ as well.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Teacher Ji, do you know who was my invigilator?”

Ji Hongbin replied, “I could roughly guess.”

Lan Xuanyu asked out of curiosity, “Who did you guess?”

Ji Hongbin answered, “Forget it, you’ll find out in the future anyway. I don’t have to make a wild guess. You just need to study hard here.”

Looking at Lan Xuanyu, his heart twitched a little. When he heard Lan Xuanyu’s description of that person, he could already roughly guess who it was. And when Lan Xuanyu said that that person was a useless teammate, Ji Hongbin almost collapsed. He felt that in order to make sure that Lan Xuanyu didn’t collapse, he shouldn’t reveal who that person was first. At least that person still decided to accept him, huh? But should he tell Yin Tianfan about this when he returned? If he did, would he still dare to come back to Shrek Academy, huh?

Lan Xuanyu was very curious, but his curiosity was replaced by other things very quickly. Qian Lei had returned. And this guy actually looked delighted.

“I pa.s.sed, I pa.s.sed! I’ve been enrolled, wahaha, wahahaha! I am just so talented, I really can’t help it. Hahaha!”

Lan Xuanyu looked at him, speechless. Just yesterday, this guy looked like he was going to work hard and not spare any effort, but he simply reverted to his former state today. His confidence was off the charts!

“What did you choose?” Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully.

“Martial Soul, ah! With my outstanding Martial Soul, obviously, I chose Martial Soul. Shrek Academy’s Martial Soul test was simply too scientific; it wasn’t just about strength. They also compared scarcity, and my Martial Soul was evaluated as unique. Also, all those with unique Martial Souls and had the potential to cultivate would naturally get through. So I pa.s.sed.” Qian Lei said with pride.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Why did you still take so long, then?”

Qian Lei said, “Did you think it’s so easy to verify uniqueness? Let me tell you, your Martial Soul isn’t considered unique; it’s considered a mutated Blue Silver Gra.s.s at most. The so-called uniqueness meant that it had never appeared before, not even a mutation, which is what I have. Aren’t I amazing? Are you convinced?”

Lan Xuanyu gave him the side-eye and muttered, “I heard that there’ll be a comprehensive a.s.sessment coming up and it might be life-threatening. Why don’t you lead the team, huh?”

Qian Lei’s face went blank, and he coughed, “This uh… captain! You’re the captain. What I meant just now is that no matter how outstanding my Martial Soul is, I still admire you! I’ve always thrown myself down at your feet in admiration. I was just reiterating my point.”

Lan Xuanyu said in annoyance, “Go and sleep, then. Frenzie isn’t back yet. What did he choose? Speed?”

Qian Lei shook his head, “Not speed. He chose a very unpopular option called Willpower to Battle.'”

“Willpower to Battle?” Ji Hongbin’s expression turned serious, “Why did he choose this?”

Qian Lei said, “He heard from others that if he has weaker power, he can try choosing Willpower to battle. He wanted to choose speed at first but in the end, he chose this.”

Lan Xuanyu curiously asked, “Teacher Ji, what is Willpower to Battle? Is there something wrong?”

Ji Hongbin said in a deep voice, “There’s nothing wrong, and that statement is also true; people who aren’t very strong will have a higher chance if they choose Willpower to Battle. During the cultivation of a Soul Master, talent isn’t everything, and there are people who became elites by relying on their hard work. And all of these people have very strong willpower. Therefore, there is this choice of a.s.sessment. However, this test is also the rarest. Of course, it’s great if you pa.s.s; but if you don’t, it might cause your willpower to crumble. If it isn’t too serious, your cultivation will be stagnant, and it’ll be harder to improve. But if it’s serious, it is life-threatening. I didn’t expect that Liu Feng would choose this. I was careless. Generally speaking, it is only when one becomes an adult that one’s willpower is stable. He’s only 12, and there shouldn’t be many people who chose this. Let’s hope he pa.s.sed.”

Liu Feng, at this moment, was flat on the ground of an arena.

He gritted his teeth and used his right hand to force his body up. He had stood back up countless times.

This wasn’t a simulation but a real arena. And also standing in the arena across him was Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi’s expression was indifferent as he looked at Liu Feng, who had barely climbed up from the ground, and he was emotionally moved.

Liu Feng’s state could only be described as tragic at this time. His left arm was limped, hanging next to his body and was clearly broken. It was the same for his left leg. His body was covered with blood, and there were numerous scars on his body. But even under such circ.u.mstances, he still stood back up.

His right chest was slightly collapsed, and there were several broken bones around his sternum too. These injuries were quite serious for a 12-year-old and might put his life in danger. Just standing up, his breath was akin to the sound of pumping bellows. He was already severely injured but even so, he could still stand up under such circ.u.mstances which moved Xiao Qi slightly.

“You’re too weak, you can’t do it.” Xiao Qi said regretfully.

Liu Feng gripped his White Dragon Sword tightly in his b.l.o.o.d.y right hand to support his body, the young man had an unyielding expression, “I… I can do it! I… I can still fight.”

There wasn’t a single spot on his body that wasn’t hurting. Liu Feng could clearly feel the strength in his body depleting quickly; his Soul Power was almost all gone. When he fell again just now, he really didn’t wish to get up again and wanted to just lie there. But the persistence in his heart still supported him up in the end.

Ever since he entered the Elite Junior Cla.s.s, he and Fatty had always been the last in cla.s.s but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. He knew that even if they were the last in cla.s.s, everything they learned in the Elite Junior Cla.s.s was different from ordinary academies. However, he could never forget how he felt when they were despised by their cla.s.smates and were treated like good-for-nothings who would definitely be eliminated.

Until Lan Xuanyu arrived and changed everything. With his help alone, it was as if Liu Feng and Qian Lei were reborn, and they became the top in cla.s.s. Liu Feng didn’t say it out loud, but he would never forget the feeling when they got the top in cla.s.s for the first time. He really liked the feeling of winning over everyone else.

Qian Lei’s talent was better than his and had a unique Martial Soul. In addition, his Spiritual Power was very outstanding. But Liu Feng could only rely on his speed, but which agility-type Soul Master isn’t fast, huh? From that moment on, Liu Feng worked very hard to cultivate and to put all the extra time he had on cultivating.

Lan Xuanyu had Ji Hongbin and Yin Tianfan’s guidance because he was gifted, but he did not have that and could only rely on his own hard work.

Finally, here they are, at Shrek Academy. From the moment the solo compet.i.tion began, he knew that he could no longer rely on Lan Xuanyu. If he wanted to stay in Shrek Academy, he could only rely on himself.

Hence, he hesitated when choosing the module for the solo compet.i.tion. Normally, he should have obviously chosen speed, but just like how Lan Xuanyu was stimulated, he thought about it and felt that being among a forest of elites—and having only the power of two rings—would speed really allow him to surpa.s.s the rest? The answer was clearly no as Soul Power has a considerable impact on speed.

Finally, he chose Willpower. He didn’t know what he would be tested on for willpower; but when he made that choice, he understood that whatever it was, he must persevere. Only by persevering would he have a chance of pa.s.sing.
