Chapter 650: Butterfly Slave (17)

Time flew by, and on the last day of the mission, Wen Wan finally prepared to begin. The system sighed, "[These Spirit-Binding Flowers are almost all gone, and you're still so lazy.]"

"Isn't there still you?"

System: [Hurry up.]

Wen Wan followed the route given by the system, avoiding most of the disciples, and then came across a Spirit Ring Flower.

It's very beautiful; the white fabric is somewhat transparent, like a goddess's dress.

Wen Wan reached out to take it off, but the next second, she felt dizzy and fell into a hallucination.

Wen Wan saw her parents, whom she had never met before, and whose faces were even blurry.

"Little A-Yuan".

The parents gave him love he had never experienced before, just like any other ordinary child, but this... felt so fake.

She believed that her parents loved her at heart, but she didn't believe she could have it; after more than twenty years of life, she had long been used to it.

Then she saw mansions, luxury cars, and extravagant goods, with endless money and credit cards. Wen Wan almost couldn't resist, after all, this was overnight wealth, a life she had always dreamed of experiencing.

System: [Host, wake up.]

Wen Yan: "..."

Then it was another man.

Yes, just from a glimpse of his back, you can tell he must be an exceptionally handsome man.

This Spirit Flower really understands her.

"Handsome, turn around and let me see. If you're good-looking, I might stay."

system:【……】

The host really is...

The man turned around, and unfortunately, he had the face of a leading man. Wen Wan swallowed hard. "Illusion, a complete illusion. My precious cabbage ran away a long time ago, and it's absolutely impossible for her to smile at me so sweetly."

Wen Wan regained consciousness.

In fact, not much time had passed before Wen Wan picked the first Spirit Flower.

Just as she was about to leave, two people suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

Wen Yan: "???"

Looking at them warily, he asked, "You're not planning to rob me, are you?"

"Hand over the Spirit-Binding Flower and crush the jade token yourself, and we'll let you go."

Wen Wan: "What if I don't? Are you going to just take it from me?"

"Of course, although you have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, your cultivation level is still not up to the beginning. You can't beat us. So, to avoid physical pain, it's wise to be pragmatic and hand over the Spirit Ring Flower."

Wen Yan: "..."

Wen Wan rolled her eyes.

Then they turned and ran, and before the two of them could even react, they were gone.

"Chase."

Wen Wan quickly shook off the two of them. Just kidding, after all, she had practiced her escape technique diligently, and it was her most effective trump card in this crucial moment.

After that, Wen Wan was like an eel, picking the Spirit Flower while the time she was trapped in the illusion became shorter and shorter. Later, the Spirit Flower could not find her desire at all. There was also the system, which was a cheat. Even if she was really immersed and her desire was aroused, the system would remind her with one click.

Moreover, Wen Wan would run away whenever she encountered other disciples, regardless of whether they were friends or enemies.

The final trial has ended.

They were teleported out of the illusion, and only about a hundred people managed to get out.

Most of them couldn't withstand the bewitching power of the Spirit Flower, others were eliminated by their peers, and still others never even found the Spirit Flower. In short, there were all sorts of reasons for elimination.

The more Spirit Blossoms one obtains, the more accomplished one is in completing the mission. Many people will try to steal Spirit Blossoms from other disciples because they are the easiest to obtain.

The first place winner was a quiet man who managed to collect thirty-seven Spirit Blossoms.

"That's amazing."

System: [If you don't take that long, you can do it too.]

Wen Wan: "I can't do that. If I keep running, you'll exhaust me."

System: [...] Useless.

The second place went to Wen Wan's roommate, Qi Lian, who surprisingly had thirty flowers. She's also someone who quietly accomplishes great things.

The third place went to a prodigy with a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root, who had twenty-nine flowers.

The proud Chen Zihan was in seventh place with twenty-three flowers, but she was clearly very unhappy.

Why?

Wen Wan didn't understand either.

Wen Wan had a total of seventeen flowers, placed in the middle to the front. Wen Wan was quite satisfied with this position, as it wasn't too outstanding, but it wasn't at the bottom either. It was her first time there, so it was best to keep a low profile.

Wen Wan never expected that her behavior was anything but discreet from the very beginning.

Because this trial can be seen not only by the elders but also by the disciples of the Tianli Sect.

She slept for most of the time.

Later, they were able to accurately find the Spirit Flower without taking a single detour, and they were also able to withstand the Spirit Flower's test. In particular, their escape technique surprised their senior brothers and sisters, and even the elders.

"What school or sect's movement technique is this? It's so exquisite, I've never seen anything like it before," Elder Qi said, adding that the other disciples had never seen anything like it either.

After the first trial ended, everyone returned to their dormitories, and no one was missing from Wen Wan's dormitory.

Most of those that were eliminated have already packed their bags and gone home.

The second trial was three days away. Wen Wan had hoped to survive, but reality wouldn't allow it.

First, Chen Zihan ambushed him.

If she hadn't run fast, she would have been injured. Wen Wan was a little angry. "What are you doing? Tianli Sect disciples are forbidden from fighting in private."

Chen Zihan: "We're not fighting, just sparring. The Tianli Sect doesn't forbid sparring between disciples."

Wen Wan: "I did not agree to spar with you. Besides, I am so weak, what sense of accomplishment would you get from sparring with me? It would be more honorable to spar with other geniuses. That way, winning would be glorious."

"Your movement technique is so strange. Where did you get this technique? You said you came from a small village. It's impossible for a small village to have such exquisite techniques. And the jade pendant hanging on your waist is obviously a top-quality item. How could a country bumpkin have something like that? You're definitely lying."

Wen Wan: "It's an ancestral skill. Every day I go up the mountain to catch pheasants and go down to the river to catch fish. There are many wild animals in the mountains. If I don't run fast, I'll be eaten by them. As for the martial arts technique, I really don't know what you're talking about. As for this jade pendant, I once saved a noble person. That noble person gave it to me. I don't know if it's valuable or not. I just hung it up because it looked nice."

"Then fight me."

Wen Wan: "I admit defeat. You are stronger than me. I can't beat you at all. You are the pride of Fire Cloud Fortress, the number one. How can I, a country bumpkin, compare with a peerless genius like you? Miss Chen, please don't flatter me."

Wen Wan showered Chen Zihan with compliments, praising her while belittling herself, and Chen Zihan was indeed pleased, no longer wanting to compete with her.

Afterwards, other people came to challenge Wen Wan to a fight. Wen Wan then adopted a self-destructive approach, portraying herself as a useless person who had nothing but spiritual roots. Any powerful disciple with a bit of backbone would not fight with her, who was considered useless. As for those without backbone, they were simply people who didn't like her, and Wen Wan would just slip away. She would never confront them head-on and would focus on developing her strength in a sneaky way.
