Chapter 81 Morale Rebuilding, Cultivation World Progress 81%
On this day, in the Mission Hall.
When Su Xiaoyao arrived, she was followed by a group of classmates from the Weapon Repair Class.
"With the way you're all making such a fuss, anyone who didn't know better would think you're here to cause trouble." Shen Suqi looked at the entire group of weapon cultivators who had arrived, and then at Helian Yi, who was speaking to the huge group of sword cultivators. She was very puzzled. "You're just here to get a mission, why make such a big fuss?"
“That’s what you don’t understand—” Su Xiaoyao put her hands behind her back and drew out the last part of her sentence in a profound and mysterious tone, “This time it’s a team competition. Team battles are not just about individuals. Besides, although our special mission credits are very important, Helian Yi has contributed the most, so his mission credit percentage is higher than ours from the beginning. Who knows what will happen later? In that case, morale is even more important.”
After saying that, she turned around and said to the people behind her, "Equipment Repair Class!"
"Victory is certain!" the students in the equipment repair class shouted in response.
Su Xiaoyao smiled, her eyes crinkling: "See? We're not the only ones working hard. Everyone's giving their all to accumulate the credits for the special mission and to prevent Helian Yi from taking up too much of the quota."
Shen Suqi revealed a look of profound understanding, nodded heavily three times, and then immediately turned around, picked up the communication stone, and sent a message.
[The world's number one talisman master: Mission Hall, come quick!!! All the other classes are here, we can't let them lose in terms of momentum!!!]
[The Second Best Talisman Master in the World: Boss is right!]
[I won't change my name until I finish a thousand drawings: Support!]
[He committed heinous crimes in his past life: 15 minutes will pass]
[My lifelong academic pursuit of talisman drawing: Huh? When it comes to team cohesion, who can compare to our class? You're just showing off your limited skills! I'm about to unleash my full power!]
...
The Fu Xiu class responded enthusiastically.
Shen Suqi smiled with satisfaction.
While the Talisman Cultivation Class was on its way, the Sword Cultivation Class and the Weapon Cultivation Class had already clashed.
Su Xiaoyao's eyes crinkled into fox-like eyes as she smiled insincerely: "Oh, so you're entrusting your son to Helian?"
Xu Lingyou, who had been carefully noting down every word Helian Yi said, blushed slightly: "Xiao Yao..."
"Work hard and try to oust him and take the position. You're much more suitable to be the class monitor than him," Su Xiaoyao said.
Helian Yi glanced at her: "You're already trying to sow discord while I'm still standing in front of you."
Su Xiaoyao: "Yes, I never do anything behind people's backs. I usually provoke them to their faces."
"Heh, you still don't know Ling You's character? It's no use saying anything to him." Helian Yi sneered.
“Yes, I know it all too well.” Su Xiaoyao nodded sincerely. “That’s why I didn’t specifically say who this ‘you’ is. This isn’t your Helian family’s place, where you can just point to someone and call them the head of the household. Right, the young man with the carved sword sheath in the back?”
The swordsman who was called out panicked for a moment, unable to hide the disdain and mockery in his eyes.
Helian Yi's gaze darkened, and he said coldly, "I'm just on a mission, not that I'm not coming back. If anyone thinks that Xu Lingyou, the substitute squad leader I chose, is not qualified enough, feel free to send me a message. When I return, I will definitely give you a chance to challenge me."
Upon hearing this, some people who were itching to make a move instantly extinguished the flames of ambition in their eyes.
"Thanks," he said to Su Xiaoyao.
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping Xiao Xu." Su Xiaoyao said disdainfully, "If you hadn't dumped the heavy responsibility on him, I would have loved for the sword cultivator class to fall into chaos as soon as you left."
Helian Yi was used to being arrogant and thoughtless, and he acted too presumptuously.
The cultivation of artifacts and talismans requires patience, so the learning atmosphere is stronger and there are fewer conflicts among the cultivators in the artifact cultivation class and the talisman cultivation class.
The sword-cultivation class is quite different; it can be said that the sword-cultivation class has the most students and is the most difficult to manage of all the classes.
Sword cultivators generally value victory and defeat, and regard absolute strength as the highest honor. In particular, this class brings together the young generation of cultivators with the highest level of martial prowess. If it weren't for Helian Yi's strong suppression through force, wealth, and influence, the sword cultivator class would probably have formed a pattern of each ruling their own territory much earlier than the ghost cultivator class.
Although Xu Lingyou has grasped the essence of swordsmanship and his heart for the sword is evident to all, his talent is limited after all, and in terms of martial prowess alone, he is not among the top in the talisman cultivator class.
With Helian Yi gone, it was difficult for him to win over the crowd. In addition, he had a mild and easy-going personality, and even with Huangfu Mian's help, he couldn't manage so many people.
Helian Yi had overlooked this matter. According to Su Xiaoyao's usual calculations, she would have taken the opportunity to let her classmates take advantage of the situation and stir up trouble, trying to undermine the cohesion of the sword cultivator class from within. However, the person Helian Yi trusted was Xu Lingyou.
Friends are more important to her than winning or losing.
Su Xiaoyao pouted. In fact, she could find an opportunity to sabotage the sword cultivator class if anyone else were the acting class leader. No matter how brave and resourceful the sword cultivators were, they were all proud and arrogant and unwilling to submit to anyone. However, Xu Lingyou was the only one who had slowly climbed up from the bottom.
He appears gentle, but his resolve is stronger than anyone else's. With the aftershocks of Helian Yi's prestige, the sword cultivator class under his management is practically impregnable.
"I'll give you a 10% cut," Helian Yi said.
Su Xiaoyao's gloom vanished, and her eyes lit up.
Helian Yi lowered his eyes and considered it over.
If Su Xiaoyao hadn't reminded him, he would have gotten used to being a hands-off manager. If trouble broke out within the sword cultivator class, even if he took on half of the reward for the top-level mission, he might not be able to save so many people's month's worth of credits.
Let this one percent profit not be a loss.
Su Xiaoyao was delighted and, arm in arm with Shen Suqi, strutted off in another direction: "Let's go, let's go sow discord with 007!"
The same process was repeated, openly and honestly yet subtly sarcastic, which made Su Qingzhen's fair cheeks turn red with anger.
His eloquence was no match for Su Xiaoyao's; he tried to speak several times but was silenced each time.
He didn't want to judge his fellow practitioners in such a stereotypical way, but—physical cultivators really are all brawn and no brains! All they do is train their bodies; they've never experienced the kind of sophisticated verbal bombardment that Su Xiaoyao has!
Su Qinghuan was overwhelmed and devastated, facing the various expressions on the faces of her classmates behind her.
Su Xiaoyao, refreshed after a long speech, waved her sleeves and left without a trace.
"Su! Xiao! Yao!"
"Ha, serves you right for provoking me." Su Xiaoyao laughed loudly, hands on her hips. "An eye for an eye, no need to thank me."
Advanced missions are also field missions, with the target location on the coastline of Yongzhou, and the mission route takes at least two weeks to return.
She grinned mischievously, crushed the cryptic talisman, and transmitted her voice to him: "Don't worry, while you're away, I'll have people sow discord between your classmates."
They provoke us and then retreat, giving us no chance to react.
Shen Suqi was used to this situation. In any case, the open and covert struggles between Su Xiaoyao 007 and Helian Yi only occurred seven days a week. This was a consensus among the former mission takers and now students of the academy.
Su Xiaoyao finally stopped laughing after choking on her laughter and began to walk toward the special mission window with a worried expression.
The others arrived as well.
"Here to receive the mission?" Guiyi's face appeared in front of them.
"Grandma Guiyi, does your work also include the Mission Hall?" Su Xiaoyao asked familiarly as she approached.
"I'll earn some extra money from this part-time job, and then I'll come eat at your Bai Niang Qian Wei restaurant," Gui Yi said with a smile.
Apart from a few mission takers she rescued, the other students all thought that Guiyi, who only had Foundation Establishment stage spiritual energy fluctuations, was just an ordinary long-term worker at the academy, juggling multiple jobs and being very busy.
Although her cultivation level was not high, she was efficient and knew everything about the academy. It seemed that she had been cleaning and sweeping for the Heavenly Dao Ancestor for many years. She was also very kind and smiling. Students would come to her for help when they encountered problems in their lives. She was almost always there to help them and knew everything. Moreover, she topped the list of "most beloved teachers" posted anonymously by a student on the intranet.
Popular comment on the ranking list: "She asks Grandma Guiyi for help with all her life problems. How can a life skills teacher not be considered a teacher?"
This viewpoint was unanimously endorsed in the comments section.
"Who is the mission leader? Come over and register the members' names." Getting back to the point, Guiyi skillfully began the operation.
Helian Yi naturally stepped forward and went to register.
"This is a token for a top-tier mission, containing the mission details. Also, this is a limited-time teleportation talisman, which can be purchased for an additional 200 credits. Do you want to buy it?" Guiyi asked.
"How many people can it teleport?" Helian Yi asked casually.
"The maximum number of cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage is twenty," Guiyi replied.
"Short-distance teleportation?"
"No," Guiyi smiled. "No matter where you are, you will be teleported back to the academy after using the talisman."
Helian Yi was taken aback: "Only two hundred credits?"
Two hundred credits may sound like a lot, but considering the long-distance teleportation and the limit of twenty cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, the talisman is at least of superior quality and is a rare spatial rune. In comparison, two hundred credits is quite worthwhile.
"It's a time-limited use, meaning it's only effective during this mission. If it's not used during the mission, you've wasted two hundred yuan," Su Xiaoyao said.
This talisman is suitable for people going out on dangerous missions to save their lives, but it is not applicable to them.
Their goal is to complete the task and get points; otherwise, nothing is meaningful. They can use the Soul-Summoning Banner to save their lives, so they don't need this.
After thinking it over, Helian Yi gave up the desire to buy it.
As expected, the university had no way to cut corners when it came to tuition fees.
After completing the procedures, they officially accepted the top-level mission.
"Where exactly is the location?" Su Xiaoyao moved closer to Helian Yi.
Helian Yi unfolded the map projection.
"I don't understand it," he said honestly after glancing at it once.
The map meticulously depicts the layout of the ocean, and it is so detailed that it even identifies the dominant creatures and their cultivation levels in each sea area, that it is dazzling to behold.
Just as Shen Suqi and Fu Xiuban finished shouting their slogans, she walked over with a bright smile and heard this sentence. She said, "That's easy, Navigation Bro, let's come and see your hometown."
"I know the seas best." Shui Fan was very excited and accepted the new nickname well. She took off her black robe and hat and picked up the map.
He glanced at the map and pointed to a location on the map: "Traveling underwater is not as fast as on the surface. Since you all said you wanted to take this opportunity to go ashore, I suggest we land on the coast first, and then go into the sea from the border of Yongzhou. There is a very delicious raw material in this area."
"What raw materials?" Xiao Tingyuan's attention was drawn.
“An octopus at the Golden Core stage has a very strong regenerative ability, making it very suitable as a reserve food,” Shui Fan said, smacking his lips. “With the support of the sea, I, at the Foundation Establishment stage, fought it to a draw. Now that we are both at the Golden Core stage and have mastered beast taming, catching it shouldn’t be difficult.”
“Okay, the navigation guy is very reliable and even recommended some local specialties to us. Now that we’ve confirmed the route, let’s set off!” Su Xiaoyao patted the storage bag at her waist.
"Let's go!" Shen Suqi was the most supportive.
"Let's go." Jiang Yun, who was holding the banner, looked up.
Only Shui Fan was delighted: "Navigation Bro is my honorary title, right? Can you give me a custom title on the intranet?"
