Chapter 158: Legendary Hidden Quest
Chapter 158: Legendary Hidden Quest
After the Guardian Evan departed, the surface world instantly regained its vitality.
During the conversation between the three, everything in the surface world had been in a "time stop" state, only resuming once Evan left.
In the stands of the arena, the audience stared in disbelief at Su Yu, the vast arena eerily silent.
What just happened?!
The duel was going smoothly, then suddenly Tina sprouted wings and instantly killed the Legion Commander Gracy. And when she landed, she transformed into a man! Were they dreaming?
Su Yu paid no attention to the nonexistent audience. Instead, he looked at the giant Tina, who was now over 200 meters tall, and nodded to himself.
Tina’s bloodline was already at a bug-level, allowing her to grow stronger by absorbing the essence of monsters.
Now, with the addition of her "grandfather-in-a-pocket," a golden finger who was one of the top-tier powerhouses in the game world, Tina’s future was bound to be smooth sailing, with limitless potential!
However, for Su Yu, the chance to encounter top-tier powerhouses was rare, and he certainly wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by without trying to benefit from it.
So, as Evan’s figure disappeared, Su Yu shouted loudly, “Lord Evan, if I encounter any problems in my training, can I seek your guidance?”
When dealing with top-tier powerhouses, it was essential to be shameless. Being shameless gave you a sliver of a chance, whereas being timid and silent offered none at all—just like asking out a girl.
“Huh?” A distant, elderly voice echoed back.
After a long pause, the voice continued, “Given your assistance to Alyssa and Tina, I’ll make you an offer. If you can reach the Sixth Rank Saint Domain in your lifetime, I will give you the opportunity to become my student.”
“Ding! Congratulations, you have triggered the Legendary Hidden Quest: ‘Evan of the Golden Rose’s Favor.’”
“Quest Requirement: Reach Level 75 (Sixth Rank) and find the true form of ‘Evan of the Golden Rose’ at the entrance of the Shining New World.”
“Quest Reward: Become a student of Evan of the Golden Rose.”
“Thank you, Master! I will do my best to improve my strength!” Su Yu promised loudly.
But this time, he received no response.
Then, the giant Tina began to shrink, returning to her original height of 1.68 meters as she approached Su Yu.
She wasn’t paying attention to the exchange between Su Yu and Evan, her mind preoccupied with other matters, and she looked hesitant.
“Counter,” Tina hesitated, “Do I really have to follow Guardian Evan’s wishes and become the leader of the Unicorn Knights?”
“Of course, my teacher wouldn’t lead you astray,” Su Yu reassured her, patting her shoulder kindly. “And Tina, have you ever thought about becoming the leader of the knight order?”
“Not really,” Tina shook her head. “Lately, all I’ve been thinking about is training and growing stronger. As for becoming the leader, I’ve only been in the order for a short time!”
“You might want to consider it,” Su Yu said earnestly. “You should be aware of the current situation in the empire, right?”
“Of course,” Tina replied.
“If you want to help the empire reclaim its lost territories and assist the princess in defeating the rebels, even reaching the Seventh Rank on your own might not be enough. You need the power of the Unicorn Legion and more to truly support the princess.”
“You’re right,” Tina sighed deeply, her head hanging low as she fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she lifted her head, her spirit renewed.
"Counter, I've made up my mind! I will follow Lord Evan's wishes and become the leader of the Unicorn Knights as soon as possible. I'll even take control of all the armies in Olran City so I can provide the greatest support to the Princess."
Tina clenched her small fists, her expression serious. "Not long ago, the Princess almost got captured in Kasy Town, and her most trusted Starcat, Morningstar, was severely injured. Her situation is very dangerous right now. We must expand our influence quickly if we want to help her!"
"Yes, the Princess's situation is indeed very dangerous," Su Yu nodded.
But then he realized something was off.
"Wait, Tina. How did you know about the battle in Kasy Town?" Su Yu was surprised.
Even Commander Gracie didn't know the full details of that battle. How could Tina have known?
Surely, Tina couldn't have more sources of information than Gracie?
"I know because..." Tina's face turned red as if she had just remembered something. "In the last two hours, I had a strange dream. In the dream, I experienced everything you've been through recently."
Tina recounted the dream she had just experienced.
The dream was filled with all the major events Su Yu had been through: from facing the Starforged Dragon King to meeting the Princess, attending the negotiations in Maple Leaf City, and finally rescuing the Princess in Kasy Town. Tina had experienced it all, in vivid detail.
If Su Yu had just relived Tina's life, it was like "No one understands Tina better than him."
Now, it was "No one understands Su Yu better than Tina."
"Ah, I see." Su Yu was speechless.
While he was experiencing the major events of Tina's life, she was experiencing the major events of his game life?
What was this? A body swap?
He never thought such a classic plot from movies and TV shows would appear in this task.
"But there's one thing I found strange," Tina said, recalling her dream. She tapped her chin with her left index finger.
"What was strange?"
"Why did you have a tail?" Tina looked puzzled. "In the dream, I gained partial control of your body. I tried to touch the tail several times, but I couldn't."
Su Yu: "A tail?"
He had a tail in Tina's dream? That was quite unusual.
Su Yu couldn't help but imagine himself as Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, running around with a long tail sticking out.
But that didn't seem important right now. He cleared his throat to change the subject. "Let's leave the realm of consciousness quickly. If we delay any longer, something might happen in the real world."
"Okay," Tina nodded.
She had been tempted to peel back Su Yu's clothes to see what the tail was, but she was a bit shy and had more important things to do.
"I'll take a look another time," Tina thought to herself. She then focused her mind, forcing her real self to wake up quickly.
Su Yu's consciousness was also forced out of Tina's realm of consciousness and returned to his own body.
A few minutes later, in the lounge of the Olran City Grand Colosseum, Su Yu and Tina, who had been unconscious, gradually opened their eyes and sat up from the ground.
