Yifu deeply resented those who behaved like hypocrites and hid their true motives. In fact the author went out of the way to describe Yifu as a single-minded person who saw the world in black and white. She either loved completely or hated completely, it was similar to the innocence of a child. She became this way because of the actions of a childhood friend she had held dear. That friend spoke viciously about her behind her back resulting in her distrust.

After meeting her, Ai Lin felt that Yifu’s character was contradictory. Yifu didn’t like people who were intentionally good to her, while at the same time she also didn’t like people who didn’t pay attention to her. Ai Lin felt that Yifu was a mental case. How could she unironically declare her desire for the truth when she was only willing to accept her version of events? This kind of person would never be worthy of the protagonist’s attention.

“Xiao Cheng, you won’t help me either? I thought we were friends!” Yifu’s eyes turned red, filled with the pain of betrayal as she looked at Zi Cheng.

Aren’t you my friend?! Back in the ocean you saved me even though you didn’t know anything about me. You were incredibly kind. Zi Cheng held a big spot in Yifu’s heart because of this. She had expected Zi Cheng to back her up because she knew the other person was very kind. Who knew that her expectations would be completely shattered. Yifu was really unhappy!

Zi Cheng felt a headache coming on. Ugh. I thought you were a really cute little sister so I made sure to look out for you. It seems I didn’t know you well enough. “Yifu, what do you want me to do? Help you quarrel with everyone? The most important thing right now is to find a way to pass the assessment, not fight with each other.”

Zi Cheng was earnestly trying to persuade her. Yifu was the first friendly person she got to know when she arrived in the world, so she did think of Yifu as a friend.

With tears in her eyes Yifu yelled, “Whatever! You just don’t want to help me!” I was just trying to help the team! We’re going down the wrong path. But no one believes me! What’s so good about Feng Wu that everyone believes her?! Why is everyone so mean to me? With that she turned around and ran into the woods.

“Yifu!” Zi Cheng called out to Yifu but Yifu ignored her and kept running.

“Is she crazy? Running around in a place like this? She’s gonna get killed!” Xi felt really annoyed at Yifu. So dramatic over such a small matter. She must be some spoiled Young Miss from a rich family. Honestly, acting like the whole world’s against her.

“What should we do? Should we go after her?” Hans asked Pei. Although it was true they were a group, they were only together until they could get out of the forest and reach the city. Which of them would have the time to chase after such an insensible Young Miss?

Ai Lin walked over to Zi Cheng and asked, “Zi Cheng, do you want to go after her? Won’t she run into trouble if we leave it like this?’’

Zi Cheng was uncertain. She couldn’t let anything influence her performance but at the same time Yifu was her first friend in this world and her safety was important. In the end, was it more important to find Yifu or pass the examination? Zi Cheng was truly conflicted!

Ai Lin sneered. She wanted to see what was in this protagonist's heart. Which was more important to her: the assessment or Yifu? What I don’t get is Feng Wu. There wasn’t a Feng Wu in the novel. No wait… there was. But wasn’t it just a minor role?

Xi thought Feng Wu was a really kind hearted girl when she noticed the other was staring in the direction Yifu ran off in. “Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll come running back.”

Feng Wu turned to Xi and spoke with a serious expression on her face. “There’s something coming this way.” It was a message from the wind.

Kyle was next to them and overheard the exchange. He had on a confused expression on as he asked, “What is it?”

Feng Wu didn’t have a chance to answer when an earth-shattering roar rang out.

“Help! Xiao Cheng save me!” Yifu really did come running back just like Xi said, only she didn’t come back alone. Chasing after her was an unidentified magical beast.

The beast’s body was completely engulfed in flames. Although it was huge, at least five meters long, it was not very tall.

Who knew what she did to make it so angry, but it was clearly chasing after her in rage.

“Damn! That’s an eighth level mutated fire crocodile!” Pei recognized the beast.

Originally the fire crocodile must have been a normal low level magical beast, but somewhere along the way it mutated, enabling it to break through its own limits and evolve beyond its set boundaries. Normally a crocodile magical beast would only be able to evolve up to the fifth level, that this one was able to break through to the eighth level was because of some kind of variation or mutation.

Zi Cheng was the highest rank magician in their group. She was at the fifth level while Ai Lin was next at the fourth level. As for swordsmen, the highest they had was maybe fourth or fifth level. For the group to try to fight an eighth level beast was just asking for death.

The huge crocodile screamed before shooting a stream of fire from its mouth. It set the surrounding woods on fire just from the heat alone. The flame itself would be unbearably hot.

By this time Yifu had reached the group. Luckily Pei screamed a warning for the group to spread out and everyone was able to dodge in time.

Yifu had attached herself to Zi Cheng and was screaming, “Kill the beast!” to everyone.

“Abominable human! Return my child! Give me back my baby you thief!”[notes] The fire crocodile was screaming like an enraged madman, spraying fire everywhere. Some of the weaker animals in the forest scampered in fear for their lives. The crocodile was king of the forest so they were very afraid of its temper.

“Look! What’s happening over there?!” Some of the other groups nearby noticed the blazing flames and the frightened screams. It made them uneasy.

“It must be a wild magical beast! Quickly run!” Some people were able to correctly guess the situation and immediately directed their groups to go around. At this point Pei and the others in his group were in a really difficult position. Although they tried their best to avoid the attack, the crocodile’s attacks were really powerful and swift; several people were already injured.
