Chapter 189: Overcoming Challenges! Qin Xiaoxue's Gossip!
Chapter 189: Overcoming Challenges! Qin Xiaoxue's Gossip!
Qian Yi was very dissatisfied.
A battle that only takes less than three seconds, but you have to wait for a full sixty seconds?
Who are you looking down on? Nevertheless, the waiting time is still necessary.
However, the scene of the blowing wind revealing the cattle and sheep remains unchanged.
Su Ping watches with interest as the Forest Wolf is slain by the little paper man's sword.
Judging from the texture of that sword strike, the virtual Forest Wolf seems no different from the others.
It doesn't seem like a lifeless object formed by condensation.
Even the entwining vines are like that.
Moreover, the vines that entwine and strangle, from the perception just now, in Su Ping's eyes, also possess genuine combat power.
Is this Forest Wolf truly a condensed illusion?
However, as the countdown ends, the Forest Wolf's body slowly disappears, turning into streaks of light.
It's as if a true illusion has been exposed.
Su Ping finds it very interesting.
He even wants to extend his Psychic Energy, like Fatty, to sense the situation slightly, to see what's going on.
Unfortunately, this might disrupt the little paper man's challenge.
Looking at the excited little paper man, Su Ping naturally doesn't need to do that.
However, these projected creatures are fundamentally different from those purely counterfeit, inferior, and combat-less shadows.
He can ask Aunt Qin about this later.
This enormous Mechanical Trial Tower seems to be more than just a trial tower, and at this moment, Su Ping has good reason to suspect that it should be related to Mechanical Beastmasters.
However, the Metropolis Advanced Beastmaster Academy is one of the several well-known academies nationwide, with the current presence of Sang Sheng, and it's only natural for it to have such a profound background.
Su Ping's random thoughts didn't slow down time, and the sixty seconds passed slowly.
As the final countdown ended, Qian Yi's posture was restored.
Then, a mechanical prompt sounded in his ear:
【Second Wave Trial: Bull with Giant Horns, Energy Level: Elite Tenth Rank, Racial Limit: Elite Tenth Rank】
The pet beast has indeed changed, but the scene still belongs to the grassland battle arena.
The Bull with Giant Horns has no special attributes but is an ordinary-type pet beast with immense strength.
It's a type of pet beast found on the grassland and the most terrifying herd in the lower levels of the grassland.
However, here, with only one of them, it didn't even cause the slightest hindrance to Qian Yi! In the second wave, the energy level has already reached the elite peak, and it didn't even increase Qian Yi's usage time! That lightning-fast sword strike, in a one-on-one battle against an opponent of the same level, seemed invincible! In ancient times, there was a butcher named Pu Ding who could dissect an ox with ease.
For Qian Yi, it was even simpler, quicker than the Forest Wolf from before.
Because after the Bull with Giant Horns appeared, it immediately launched its attack skill, 'Barbaric Charge.'
And then...
That barbaric charge caused this bull to be split in half from the middle!
In Qian Yi's hands, paper has become the sharpest weapon.
So, following Qian Yi's invincible and lonely sigh, the corpse turned into streaks of light and disappeared:
【Second Wave Cleared, Time Taken: 2.12 seconds, Third Wave Begins in 60 Seconds, Prepare, 60, 59...】
【Third Wave Cleared, Time Taken: 2.84 seconds, Fourth Wave Begins in 60 Seconds, Prepare, 60, 59...】
【Fourth Wave Cleared, Time Taken: 2.53 seconds, Fifth Wave Begins in 60 Seconds, Prepare, 60, 59...】
From the first wave to the fourth wave.
Not even a single opponent could make the little paper man's battle last longer than three seconds.
The reason for staying within this time frame is only because there's a slight distance between the birth of the two sides.
The opponents in the four waves of the trial tower, including the interval time, didn't even take up to five minutes!
A smile appeared on Su Ping's lips.
Qian Yi's strength is absolutely not comparable to any ordinary pet beast of the same level.
Because this is not just Qian Yi!
With the effect of the Ten Thousand Spirits Record, the three swords in his hand represent nine element-evolved origami beasts! And a strength increase of 1+1>2.
Su Ping was lucky to encounter a pet beast like Qian Yi, but Qian Yi was also lucky to meet Su Ping.
Only in Su Ping's hands could the potential of the origami man be raised to such heights, and Su Ping even knows that the strength displayed by the little paper man now is not his full potential.
Both Qian Yi and the origami man have greater potential and a broader future.
Such an effortless victory.
As the fifth wave approached, it seemed to disappear?
The fifth wave is obviously a relatively challenging level in this battle!
【Fifth Wave Trial: Forest Wolf, Bull with Giant Horns, Willow Leaf Mantis, Energy Levels: Elite Eighth Rank, Elite Tenth Rank, Elite Tenth Rank!】
Correct.
The terrain is still the grassland.
However, this time, the opponents that appeared were no longer the individual pet beasts from before, but the pet beasts from the first, second, and fourth waves appeared together!
A one-on-three battle!
Moreover, these are three pet beasts that have truly reached the elite peak.
Undoubtedly, this is an extremely challenging battle for any pet beast at this level.
However, it seems that only now has it become a bit challenging for Su Ping and Qian Yi.
Looking at the three opponents condensed into illusions,
Qian Yi adjusted his straw hat, but his poker face still revealed no expression.
"Mm-hmm," Chi Yi, the little guy, murmured as he opened his mouth slightly, "Wow, finally... is it getting interesting?"
Su Ping paid no attention to the little guy's muttering and instead stared at his face.
To Su Ping's surprise, he had expected that facing three elite-level opponents at this moment, Chi Yi would bring out some real skills.
For example, the abstract Three Sword Style and the even more abstract 'Chi Yi Whirlwind'.
However, Chi Yi's poker face and movements showed no signs of change.
Even the sword in his hand remained the same lightning sword.
Streaks of electricity gathered on the blade, making the paper sword seem even sharper at this moment.
"Wow, have you guys... ever seen lightning before?" Chi Yi spoke in a slightly childish manner, but it also reflected the little guy's unique confidence.
This time, Chi Yi's speed was even faster than when he had previously used the One-Word Electric Sword.
Because the One-Word Electric Sword was an explosion of lightning-attributed energy on the blade!
However, Chi Yi had definitely not been idle during this time.
This time, Chi Yi's body erupted with countless electric arcs.
The speed of the eruption made Chi Yi seem like a ball of lightning dashing forward!
"Wow, the One-Word Electric Sword... the electric light, flashing!"
'Zzzzz!'
The crisp sound of the lightning element erupting made Su Ping hear the so-called thousand birds' calls.
'Zzz... zzz... zzz... zzz'
Accompanying this sound, Chi Yi's body was illuminated by the electric arcs, making him appear dazzlingly white. In the air, he left behind an afterimage.
On the three elite-level peak pets surrounding him, a 'Z'-shaped electric arc formed!
And then... there was nothing else.
In the end, Su Ping saw the same scene he had witnessed several times before.
The three pet corpses began to glow and slowly dissipated, gradually disappearing.
Their throats, hearts, and bodies all had fatal scorch marks.
At this moment, Chi Yi, the little paper man, stood at a distance.
The metal-like lightning sword was slowly sheathed again.
The wind on the prairie blew Chi Yi's paper cloak, making a rustling sound. Chi Yi looked up at the sky, his back to the three corpses, and shook his head slightly:
"Wow, the sword's lightning... is the last scenery of your lives!"
Su Ping's vision went dark.
He pursed his lips.
Before his toes could even scratch out a three-room apartment, thankfully, the mechanical settlement sound made him relax a little:
[Wave 5 completed, time taken: 3.11 seconds. Wave 6 will start in 200 seconds. Please prepare. 200, 199...]
In the last wave of the first five, with one against three, it finally took Chi Yi more than three seconds to defeat the enemies.
This inconceivable number!
Before Su Ping and Chi Yi could think further, the vast prairie in front of them began to change.
The correct version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar. First release of this novel.
In the virtual battlefield, as changes appeared, Su Ping also realized that the enemies they would face in the upcoming waves from five to ten should also be different!
Indeed, as expected.
Even the ground was undulating, and the surrounding area transformed.
In just a short while, the prairie with swaying grass and grazing cattle and sheep became a mountain peak reaching into the clouds.
The flat prairie ground turned into a bottomless abyss beneath the clouds in the outer area.
Although Su Ping's combat zone was also on the periphery, it was a materialized floating stone as a seat.
However, under the rules of this scenario, it was clear that falling into the abyss would result in failure.
Of course, the same effect would occur if one's opponent was knocked into the abyss.
Su Ping brought Chi Yi, the little paper man, here to challenge the waves.
At this moment, in the Metropolis Academy, it was clear that someone had already received the news.
This was an enormous plaza.
Just this plaza alone was not smaller than the lake in Su Ping's Water Heart, one could well imagine.
On the plaza, there were many figures.
These figures were either standing and looking into the distance or sitting with some items in front of them.
There were even figures lying in tents on the plaza, all kinds of people.
The atmosphere here was completely different from the rest of the Metropolis Academy.
However, the liveliness here was no less than anywhere else.
There were many figures coming and going.
Some were obviously students of the Metropolis Academy, while others seemed to be external vendors and some faculty members.
Selling magical potions, selling resources, looking for teammates, and even recruiting business to create high-level armor and weapons, to sum it up, everything was available.
This was the Mystic Realm Exploration Zone of the Metropolis Academy.
Soon, a figure emerged from a vortex and slowly walked out.
It was three female figures, and as soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
Especially the one in the lead.
"Hello, Senior Qin, how was your harvest in the Lin Hai Mystic Realm this time?"
Someone greeted with a smile, and Qin Xiaoxue responded with a smile that seemed friendly but actually distant, then nodded.
Chapter: The Plot Thickens
It was evident that under normal circumstances, Miss Qin would have the opportunity to chat with Su Ping and perhaps exchange some information. However, the situation in the Lin Hai Secret Realm was different. With only two entries allowed per month, Miss Qin had already used up one of her chances, leaving her no time to spare for idle chit-chat with strangers.
The old lady, fully aware that Su Ping was coming today, insisted on sending her into the Lin Hai Secret Realm to learn the art of meditation. Why didn't she just learn it herself?
Qin Xiaoxue couldn't help but silently mock the situation in her mind.
Unbeknownst to her, at that very moment, the two girls beside Qin Xiaoxue exchanged a glance, their curiosity burning with intense gossip.
Months ago, when Miss Qin interrupted her meditation, they had overheard some juicy gossip. They learned about a person named Su Ping, who seemed to be someone Miss Qin had met in her family's Linzhou region. He wasn't from the Metropolis Beastmaster Academy.
In the following months, they hadn't heard much, but in recent days, it was clear that Miss Qin was often distracted, frequently checking her phone.
Today, the Dean had sent her into the Lin Hai Secret Realm, and even the usually enthusiastic Miss Qin seemed to have lost interest in exploring the realm, indicating a significant issue.
After some time, she quickly exited the realm, even leaving twenty minutes earlier than expected.
These peculiarities clearly pointed to something unusual.
And so...
As Qin Xiaoxue stepped out of the vast Secret Realm Square, she checked her phone for any replies. Then, glancing at her two roommates who eagerly leaned in, she calmly said, "Girls, I need to see the Dean about something. You two go on ahead. I won't be joining you."
However, she hadn't anticipated their reaction. The short-haired girl licked her lips and said, "Xiaoxue, the club hasn't received the funding we applied for, nor the combat energy analyzer we requested. It's not a large amount, but it's something the entire club has been waiting for. As the club president, I've been constantly urged by the members."
The short-haired girl's eyes darted around, and she continued without a hint of guilt, "So, Xiaoxue, can you help? If the Dean says something, we're sure to get the funding. It's just a matter of a few words from her."
Qin Xiaoxue glanced at the girl and coughed lightly, "For the club funding, you should talk to Director Yan. But don't worry, I'll mention it to the Dean."
Her response seemed to confirm the girls' suspicions. The girl named Xiaoxue persisted, "Xiaoxue, it's not that I don't trust you, but this is really important..."
Qin Xiaoxue shot a glance at her two best friends and then nodded, "Alright, let's go together!"
At her words, the two girls paused, but their burning curiosity quickly took over. They eagerly nodded in agreement.
Qin Xiaoxue summoned the wooden puppet and mounted it, having already surpassed the racial limit. The puppet, now at Overlord Tier 2, was in sync with its master's intentions and swiftly rode through the campus.
The two girls followed excitedly behind.
However, fifteen minutes later, their enthusiastic curiosity was completely extinguished.
Qin Xiaoxue had indeed brought them to the central teaching building, and at that very moment, the Dean was in a mechanical vehicle.
"D-Dean..."
Seeing the woman, the two girls were at a loss for words.
Weren't they supposed to meet Miss Qin's rumored boyfriend? Weren't they here to witness Miss Qin's drama? Why was the situation different from what they imagined?
The two girls exchanged a glance, and the woman, noticing them, turned to Qin Xiaoxue. The latter shrugged, and a mischievous smile flashed in her eyes.
Hmph, these two brats dare to mock me?
Who's the one with the plan now?
Su Ping dares to say I'm not smart enough? The pet beast thirty-six strategies I've been studying these days weren't for nothing!
Qin Xiaoxue finally spoke, "Xiaoxue, the club hasn't received the funding they applied for, nor the combat energy analyzer. That's why I wanted to talk to you."
Such a minor issue? Even the woman was slightly taken aback.
Then, noticing the satisfaction in her granddaughter's eyes, as well as the two girls who were also prominent figures in the Metropolis Academy, she understood. She smiled and said, "Alright, I'll speak to the director in charge of clubs about this."
"Yes, thank you, Dean. You've worked hard."
"Goodbye, Dean."
Ling Xiaoxiao flicked her short hair and watched as Qin Xiaoxue got into the woman's vehicle. Lu Ning, standing beside her, couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxiao, what now?"
"No worries. Come on, let's follow them."
"But... isn't this the Dean's vehicle? What if..."
Ling Xiaoxiao patted Lu Ning's shoulder, and a spark of intelligence flashed in her eyes, "Don't worry. You know how the Dean manages Xiaoxue. She wouldn't let Su Ping ride with her! So, I'm sure Xiaoxue is just bluffing. She'll find an excuse to get off the vehicle, and then..."
At her words, Lu Ning's eyes lit up with understanding, and she nodded excitedly, "I see! Let's go, quickly!"
