Chapter 35: The Crafty Villain

  The first day of competition has just ended, and the name "Warlight" is now known to everyone. Everyone is talking about her invincible bravery.

  It was night, in a room, Vice President Chu with an ugly face had smashed countless cups, his eyes gloomy and lost in thought, then there were several more people in the room.

  "Trash, all trash! Can't even beat a little kid, what's the use of you guys?" Another vase was smashed.

  "Director, calm down..." Those few figures knelt on the ground, their eyes full of terror.

  "Hum! Suppressing anger? Today you all have lost face for me."

  "Director, don't worry, we know what to do."

  "Knowing is enough, sweep away all obstacles, no need for me to teach you guys anymore!"

  "Yes!"

  "Take this, I don't want to see that girl's existence again, do you understand?" He handed over a strange black rope from his waist to them. Deputy Director Chu couldn't help but think of the girl who made him lose face in front of everyone during the day, and his eyes were full of gloom.

  Compared to the depressing atmosphere here, Yunshu Academy almost didn't hold a celebratory feast. Today was just too overwhelming. They won their first match and Senro's side had one ugly face after another, as if they'd lost their mother. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Senro has always been at odds with them, but today they got thoroughly defeated, finally venting the anger in their hearts. And all of this was brought to them by that genius girl.

  At this time, the talented girl was sitting in the yard prepared by Yunshu College, undergoing a three-way trial.

  "When will you be promoted?"

  "When did you start practicing martial arts?"

  Shang Qi and Ling Chang sang in harmony, refusing to give up until they had sung all the way through the twelve earthly branches.

  "I was promoted just before the competition, and I originally knew martial arts." Yes, compared to the martial arts here, the training she had received was absolutely higher than here by at least one level.

  "You knew all along? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Lao Ling glared at her with wide eyes, almost spitting out the water in his mouth.

  "There is no need to say it."

  Ling Lao was once again speechless, and after some thought, he realized that if he had cultivated to the level of Ling Emperor earlier, then cultivating martial arts would have been a waste of time. After all, this continent still has more spiritual cultivators. Having understood this, he looked at her with satisfaction.

  Dan Lao sat on one side, smiling as he watched them, thinking to himself: "This will surprise you? If I let you know about this child's talent in alchemy, wouldn't the roof be blown off?" Thinking that he was the only one who knew this secret, Dan Lao felt pleased with himself. Indeed, the older people get, the more they become like children again.

  "Little guy, you've really made Cloud Comfort Academy proud today, haha! Thinking of the other principals' shocked and envious gazes, as well as Sen Luo's two black faces, Yun Lie felt that he would laugh even in his sleep."

  "Huh? Dean, I performed so well today, isn't there any reward?" He raised an eyebrow and gazed at the dean with a hint of arrogance.

  Everyone was stunned by what she said, and Liang Ke wasn't someone who sought quick success and instant benefits! But thinking about it again, after all, she's still young. Even if she usually seemed calm and collected, today's outstanding performance would still make her a bit proud. Seeing her act like a child asking for praise was somewhat amusing.

  "Reward, what do you want? I have it all, I'll give it to you." Yun Lie was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said. He could see that this child wasn't that kind of person, her clear eyes didn't contain any impurities.

  "I heard that the principal has a memory crystal, I wonder if I can borrow it to play with for a few days?"

  "Who told you? Who did you hear it from?" Yun Lie swept his gaze across the people in the room.

  "Ah, Ling Changlao." Nunu mouthed, and Zhan Qingcang immediately betrayed Ling Changlao.

  "You big mouth, who told you to speak? How can your mouth be so loose? Did you tell others about my secret?" Yun Lie grabbed Ling Zong Lao with one hand, his "blood basin large mouth" almost devouring him.

  "No, no, no, just this one thing." He also gave Zhan Qing a stern look.

  It was Cheng Feng who finally pulled them apart, ending the commotion.

  "What do you want with the Memory Crystal?"

  "Curious, want to take a look, don't want to borrow?" Zhan Qingcang rolled his eyes, and as for what she wanted to do, no one knew.

  "How could I be such a petty person?" Then, he suddenly had a crystal in his hand, transparent and visible with energy flowing inside.

  "You have to be careful, when you use it, infuse spiritual energy into it, and the memory crystal will be activated. When the spiritual energy is used up, it can't remember anymore. You must be extremely careful, I only have this one piece, if it's damaged or broken, it'll be gone. Don't mess it up!" Yun Lie reluctantly handed it over to him, looking like a father who didn't want to give his child away to someone else.

  Having achieved his goal, Zhan Qinglian chatted with them about their cultivation matters before taking his leave and returning to his own room. As the night grew quiet, a figure flashed out of the courtyard.

  Under the moonlight, a black shadow jumped between trees, and soon several more shadows appeared behind it, closely following.

  Feeling far enough, Zhan Qing finally stopped and turned around to look at the few people following her. Oh, they were all familiar faces!

  "You've lost to your subordinates, what are you doing here? So this is the kind of integrity that Senlo Academy has? You can't beat others in a fair fight, so you come to ambush them instead? Are you capable of it? The daytime battles weren't enough for you, do you want to try again at night?"

  "Hmph! You dare to be arrogant, tonight you will definitely die without a complete corpse." Zhou Yan said, and then he and several others surrounded her.

  It was unclear who made the first move, but under the moonlight, red flames, golden blades, and various other colors flashed, if this wasn't a life-or-death struggle, it would have been quite a spectacular sight.

  The more Zhou Yan fought, the more unsettled she became. It was too intense; the five of them had barely managed to tie with her, and judging from her relaxed expression, she seemed to be in complete control. No wonder the principal had entrusted him with the Spirit Rope earlier.

  "Evil spirit rope, go!" The black rope snaked out like a serpent and wrapped itself around War Light Crazy, binding her all over.

  Soon, Zhan Lightcrazy felt that this black rope was devouring her spiritual power. Even if her spiritual power was endless, it wouldn't be wasted on the enemy.

  "Haha, you continue to be arrogant! Next year's today is your death date. Fortunately, the hospital director has foresight, if not for this spirit-restraining rope, I'm afraid it would be hard to subdue a demon like you. Accept your death obediently!" Zhou Yan and several others looked at her with eyes as if they were looking at a corpse.

  Want her to die, it's not that easy. Release the demon child, and soon several people's painful voices are transmitted, finally falling to the ground in a dying state. Then, it's always "eating" this rope, md, addicted to eating? Since you like eating so much, let you often have the feeling of being eaten, I suppose it's wonderful!

  "Yao'er!" A sturdy rootstock carrying two small flowers floated over, then entwined itself around the spiritual rope. The rope trembled with fear, and the absorbed spiritual energy was all used to nourish others, ultimately turning into an ordinary rope. After Yao'er finished absorbing the spiritual energy, the colors of the two small flowers deepened even further. It's a good thing for their own people, and Zhan Lightcrazy didn't have any objections. If Yao'er were to absorb her spiritual energy and become even stronger, that would be great too - they would gain an extra helper in battle.

  She picked up that rope and tied Zhou Yan and the others together, then she dragged them back home like a few dead dogs.
