Chapter 552: Inter-academy Tournament (42)

The four young men looked at each other, and as if they had reached an understanding, they poured a cup of water, dipped one of their fingertips, and pressed it between their brows.

Soon, four marks that were rather similar to Shen Yanxiao’s appeared in the area between their brows.

Shen Yanxiao was stunned.

“I believe the Vermilion Bird was awakened by the sage from the G.o.d’s Realm?” A silver cloud had appeared in between Qi Xia’s brows.

“After the Vermilion Bird family invited the sage, the heads of our families were prepared. You can see a snake’s pupil on Tang Nazhi’s forehead[1].”

Yan Yu’s mark was a tiger’s claw, while Yang Xi had a dragon scale.

“It seems like we are in a similar predicament.” Shen Yanxiao chuckled. Even though she had already guessed that the other four families would undoubtedly invite the G.o.d Realm’s sage to awaken their mythical beast, she had not expected such a coincidence to happen. The contractors of the five mythical beasts had gathered there.

“Xiaoxiao, were you also decided as the next Vermilion Bird family’s head?” Yan Yu asked.

Shen Yanxiao nodded.

The five great aristocratic families had similar rules. Anyone who could obtain the recognition of the mythical beast would inherit their right to the family.

At that moment, the people in that room were not only the elites of the five families, but they were also the future family heads!

However…

“No wonder the head of the Black Tortoise family did not punish Tang Nazhi when he caused so much trouble.” Shen Yanxiao laughed as she recalled Tang Nazhi’s troublesome past.

“You’re really something! You insist on becoming a Herbalist even though you are a skilled Swordsman.” Tang Nazhi’s talent in swordsmans.h.i.+p was second to none, but his achievement as a Herbalist was miserable. When the Black Tortoise’s family head knew about his plan, he must have wanted to slap that disappointing brat to death.

Tang Nazhi sighed and said, “I cannot be blamed for that; it was Qi Xia’s fault! When we founded Phantom, we could not decide on our leader, and none of us were willing to submit to each other. So, that as*hole came up with an idea. Anyone who could surpa.s.s the average and emerge as the top student in a profession other than their main profession will be elected as the Phantom’s leader. I was tempted, so I decided to study herbalism. Furthermore, I had yet to inherit the Black Tortoise family at that time, and my old man had hit me so many times, too. If I did not have a strong body, I would’ve been beaten to death.”

Shen Yanxiao laughed when she heard that. None of the young men were compet.i.tive with each other, and the leader rank was merely an interesting idea. Only that idiot, Tang Nazhi, would be incited by that crafty fox; he was so unlucky!

“That suggestion was merely a joke. However, it does look like we have an answer now.” Qi Xia touched his chin and looked at Shen Yanxiao with a thoughtful stare as he chuckled.

Shen Yanxiao felt a chill down her back, and a sense of foreboding spread through her body.

Qi Xia narrowed his eyes as he stared at Shen Yanxiao with a lazy smile on his lips.

“As a rare Warlock in the Brilliance Continent and with your talents in archery and herbalism, plus coupled with your thieving skills… Xiaoxiao, do you want to be our leader?”

Cras.h.!.+

The teacup in Shen Yanxiao’s hand crashed to the ground as a blank expression appeared on her usually calm face.

[1] The Black Tortoise family originates from the Chinese mythical beast, Xuanwu, that had the combined appearance of a snake and a tortoise.
