Chapter 793 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 37

Yu Xunge didn't know what to say; just by putting herself in that shoes, she could feel the immense pressure.

Thankfully, her teacher wasn't Tianhu Haoqi... otherwise, how could she possibly sleep!

She carefully observed Zhu Ri's expression, but couldn't discern anything: "Only the Gods' Game can unlock the Heavenly Hand Seven. Can I still participate after graduation? You've won more than five times. Can you recommend me to participate then?"

“No,” said Zhu Ri. “Once you turn 17, you’re no longer eligible to participate in the Gods’ Game. It won’t stop and wait for you.”

After saying that, she said to her apprentice, "Give me one of your hands."

Yu Xunge asked, "Which one?"

Zhu Ri: "Whatever."

Yu Xunge obediently extended her rarely used left hand. Whether at school or outside, she always wore fingerless gloves to cover the pattern on the back of her hand. But since she had just gotten up, she was not wearing gloves, and the lantern on the back of her hand was so conspicuous.

The next second, Zhu Ri reached his hand under the apprentice's palm and grasped the apprentice's wrist. The cub's hand looked smaller than the two knuckles of an elf put their fingers together.

Black flames ignited, enveloping Yu Xunge's right hand. The wisp of black flame, like a python, tightly coiled around the [Raging Moon], its next step being to strangle it.

As the elf exerted more force, Yu Xunge involuntarily groaned. Unable to break free, she could only endure the pain and glare angrily at Zhu Ri.

A notification sounded in her mind.

[Warning, warning, the divine relic is about to be destroyed—the divine relic is about to be destroyed…]

Yu Xunge stared at Zhu Ri with red eyes, as if she had returned to those moments when she was on the verge of death in the arena.

[Annihilation is halted—]

[Annihilation Countdown: 900 Starry Days]

As she released Yu Xunge's hand, amidst the apprentice's angry, sorrowful, and incredulous gaze, she slowly said:

"You only have 900 days. I want you to win at least one championship by the time you are in third grade."

"I will remove 'Annihilation' the moment you stand on the champion's seat. Otherwise, on the day the countdown ends, this item of yours, along with your left hand, will be completely erased from this world, and no skill can restore it."

"You really like it, don't you? You tell it funny fairy tales every day."

Zhu Ri stood up, his gray-blue eyes coldly looking down at the apprentice, revealing a smile without the slightest hint of amusement: "Since you've seen my keywords, you should be careful of me. Destroying other people's beloved possessions is how I become stronger."

"This is your fourth lesson."

Yu Xunge gritted her teeth, as if they were a switch to prevent her tears from falling. Her pupils and her body trembled slightly with extreme anger, but her body was tense, and her hand was already gripping the dagger, like a small beast ready to attack at any moment.

The two, one big and one small, stood facing each other in the room.

Looking at the flame of the soul above the apprentice's head every day, Zhu Ri felt extremely complicated.

The red star field within that giant star did not increase at all.

The cub was shocked, saddened, aggrieved, and angry, but she did not resent herself.

She might still be wary of him, but deep down she believed he wouldn't hurt her.

She remained steadfast, not only in her will but also in her emotions.

Once you trust someone, you won't waver easily. Before you actually harm her, the star that represents you cannot be easily destroyed.

If she trusts someone worthy of trust, how precious and radiant that friendship is.

But if you trust the wrong person, this brilliance will become a laughing stock.

Every day, he reached out and ruffled the apprentice's hair, trying to vent his helplessness in this way.

The cub pushed her hand away with its head, preventing her from touching her head, and she also refused to speak to the sun.

Zhu Ri never wasted her time on coaxing cubs. She casually tossed out three scrolls and a notebook, precisely placing them on top of the notebook on the bedside table, then walked towards the door, saying calmly:

"We don't have as much time to grow up as we imagine. So run, don't walk slowly."

“I know you don’t like gambling, and that’s a good habit. Keep it up, or I’ll soften my heart if you don’t gamble.”

The door was closed behind me.

After a long while, the cub's tense body slowly relaxed. She raised her sleeve and wiped her face vigorously, then flew to the bedside and picked up the things left behind by Zhu Ri.

[School Rule No. 710], [Evidence Review], [Falsified Files], [Flame Shadow]

...

After the Fire Festival holiday, Fogblade, Maple Syrup, and Fat Goose both noticed that Seeking Song had become even more diligent.

No, she used to work very hard searching for songs, but after the holidays she was practically working herself to the bone.

Whether it's melee combat, ranged healing, or defense, she's trying to break into a better class.

Every day after class, I would train in the bramble bushes near the tree tower.

She has so many skills to practice, in addition to what she learned in the SSS class, there's also [Sprint], [Another Me], and [Flame Shadow].

[The Other Me] requires her to control the shadow to separate from herself and train the shadow to fight.

【Flame Shadow】 allows her to quickly disappear from her original spot and emerge from the fire-type skill she releases.

Once she masters these two skills to a certain level, she will no longer be restricted by distance, and she can even achieve good results in the placement trials of remote classes.

Mistblade Maple Syrup and Fat Goose were so provoked by her that they rolled around for a while.

Not only them, but many cubs were also made anxious by Xun Ge.

However, after less than half a month of anxiety, most people returned to their original daily routines.

He's only 11 years old, his life has just begun, and the future is still far away. He hasn't even finished exploring the safe zone of Moonlight Wetlands yet.

Of course, a small number of cubs persevered, but they were still quite a distance from Xun Ge's state, which seemed to be chased by vicious dogs.

"There are vicious dogs chasing me" is what Xun Ge himself said.

When she was learning skills from Tianhu Haoqi, Tianhu Haoqi, who had heard of this saying, specifically asked, "What vicious dog is chasing you?"

Yu Xunge put his left hand in his pocket, not looking at Tian Huhaoqi: "No, I was just kidding."

The strange relationship between Zhu Ri and Tian Hu Hao Qi, as well as Zhu Ri's statement that "no new Tian Hu Hao Qi has been born in 35 years," were enough for her to guess some things.

She looked up the name "Wilderness" at the library. She had only won the God Game 7 times, but it was all with a perfect 7-win streak...

Just counting the four championships with the perfect 7-star draw, it means that apart from the year he won the God Game with the perfect 7-star draw, Huang Jin only won the championship three times during his school years.

Surely Huang Jin couldn't have been completely unknown and unremarkable before getting the perfect 7-star draw, without ever winning a championship?

The probability of such a dark horse is too small. She is more inclined to believe that this "Heavenly Hand Seven" was likely obtained in the seventh grade, while the other three championship wins were obtained in the previous few God Games before becoming the "Heavenly Hand Seven".

To prove her hypothesis, she specifically searched for Moonlight Wetlands' previous records and photos of the Gods' Game.
