SWNOVELXO Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Unlucky
Xiao Yi smiled, looking at her expression, acting thoughtful for a while and then replied playfully,
"You can guess it yourself. Maybe it's because you are beautiful, or maybe I fell in love with you and wanted to take you as my spouse or partner. It is even possible that you are one of my favorite candidates among soul beasts."
After speaking, he waved his hand and disappeared, leaving behind the bewildered snow empress alone in the soul space.
Snow Empress was looking at the place he was standing upon in a daze, and then her lips and eyelids quivered a little, with light redness covering her cheek, and then it suddenly receded like a tide, her expression returning to usual cold and aloof, and then she sat down on the throne, muttering, "Who will believe such reasons? Humans are really foolish creatures."
She then raised her head and glanced at the whole soul space around calmly and then lay down and closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
On the other hand,
Xiao Yi opened his eyes and glanced at the outside direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He then left the forest and returned to the Shrek academy.
After reaching near his dormitory room,
"Brother Yi, you are back," the instantly familiar voice of Huo Yuhao sounded from behind him.
He appeared with Wang Dong.
Xiao Yi turned around and glanced at both of them and nodded, replying calmly, "I just returned."
"You have changed a lot; your height has increased, and there are some changes in your physique. Have you absorbed the second soul ring? "
Wang Dong beside him spoke, looking at Xiao Yi. She found out that his height increased by a few centimeters and his hair also increased in length.
Xiao Yi nodded, looking at her, and replied, "My luck was good; I found another soul ring suitable for my martial spirit."
Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile and congratulated him. Xiao Yi nodded calmly in return, and then he walked inside his dormitory room after saying goodbye.
…
The next morning all students appeared in the arena for further advancement competition.
The first round in the competition is to challenge the beast.
'Here, Yuhao will start showing his hanging life; no one has such protocol in this dimension except the grandson of Tang San in the future, Tang Xuanyu,'
Xiao Yi, standing in the classroom area along with other students, glanced in the direction of Huo Yuhao walking toward the stage.
Upon arriving at the stage, Huo Yuhao directly released and showed off his four hundred thousand-year soul ring might and frightened all the soul beasts and shocked all the audience.
The dean decided to postpone the beast fighting match to some other day after the oolong Huo Yuhao was interrogated and warned to not use such deceptive powers after he revealed that his second soul ring can imitate beasts and their aura suppression.
Two days later,
The competition restarted, and students started challenging the beasts one by one.
Xiao Yi simply chose the thousand-year soul beast and then glanced at the rhinoceros-shaped beast.
He calmly released his heart martial spirit along with two soul rings, first yellow and second purple. Instantly his second soul ring lit up.
Blood Pulse!!
A loud heartbeat sounded, and a blood-like pulse domain spread from his physique toward the surrounding and covered the whole arena, including the rhinoceros beast.
The beast froze, and its footsteps halted, while its heartbeat slowed down rhythmically, synching with the pulse released by Xiao Yi's skill.
Thud!
The next moment the beast fell down with wide red eyes and bulging veins, waiting for death. At the last moment Xiao Yi stopped the skill effect and glanced at the direction of the dean, Yan Shaozhe, and the vice dean, Du Weilun.
"Two hundred points,"
Yan Shaozhe announced his points while looking at him deeply; other teachers around also glanced at him solemnly.
'As expected, they started getting serious about my blood-related skills. Anyway, it's not their fault; evil spirit masters are the worst enemies of spirit masters in this era.'
Xiao Yi thought to himself and then returned to his class area. After seeing his two classmates couldn't maintain their rankings, he shook his head and sighed.
'Although I am sure that I will be promoted to the core disciple in the outer sect based on these scores, in case I have to prepare for the extra requirements,'
Xiao Yi thought to himself and then turned around and returned to his class area.
"Brother Yi, your skill is amazing; even my blood flow was affected looking at your match,"
Huo Yuhao praised looking at him with a smile, Xiao Yi nodded and then replied playfully, "Same to you. I thought your hundred-thousand-year soul ring was a genuine fierce beast from the north."
Huo Yuhao was startled and then controlled his expression and smiled embarrassedly while rubbing his head.
Xiao Yi shook his head and turned around and walked toward his dormitory room. The next competition will be held tomorrow, which is the round of hunting in the maze.
…
The next morning,
Xiao Yi appeared in the academy square along with Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and other candidates from his class who won the previous round.
On the other hand, Class A also appeared with Dai Huabin and his team inside and mocked their B class, although Xiao Xiao expressed her anger, but Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yi didn't care.
"Get ready, you are going to fight each other. Bring the maze up."
After gathering on the competition stage, an old man with a dark beard and disheveled expression announced and activated the switch.
Instantly the pulleys around the stage moved, and a large maze rose up from the ground, separating all the students from each other.
Xiao Yi observed the whole structure around him, and then he noticed Dai Huabin standing in front of him along with a dark-haired beauty with catlike features.
'Zhu Lu, the descendant of Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyan,' Xiao Yi thought to himself, and then he moved forward toward them and spoke calmly.
"It seems you both are unlucky today; anyway, better luck next time,"
