Chapter 35 Clan School 5 Woman, shut up and listen to me.
The instant her mouth was covered, Xie Jiaoyue felt that Xin Xiuying's demeanor was exactly like that of a domineering CEO, just missing the line, "Woman, shut up and listen to me."
Perhaps he could rival Chu Xingjin.
Okay, Xin Xiuying is still much better than Chu Xingjin, at least she's not stingy.
Xin Xiuying poured an entire bottle of pills into Xie Jiaoyue's hand.
"I have been studying alchemy since I was a child, learning how to refine pills. Although I cannot refine spirit pills because I have not formally practiced, I have figured out some things."
Xie Jiaoyue picked up a pill with her other hand and examined it against the light: "So what is the function of this pill?"
"Once it comes off the skin, it can cause numbness."
Xie Jiaoyue was so frightened that she threw all the pills away, and Xin Xiuying hurriedly squatted down to pick them up.
"Oh dear, it needs to be crushed to be useful, so I put a shell on it!"
Xie Jiaoyue squatted down and picked them up with Xin Xiuying. As she picked them up, she asked, "The thing you developed has pretty amazing effects. It can't stop pain, it can only numb. What's the point of making such a thing?"
Xin Xiuying paused for a moment: "I'll use it to fight with my brother."
She and Xin Rong have been fighting since they were little.
Xie Jiaoyue gave a thumbs up: "The sibling relationships of your Xin family are world-leading, isn't that useful?"
"Generally, this thing works very quickly, but it also goes out of power very quickly. As soon as my brother comes back to life, he'll beat me up."
This thing is indeed useful. Originally, after waiting for the monster to come to her, she had to wait for it to struggle and lose its strength, which took a long time. But with this, as soon as the monster is tightly bound by the magic robe rope, it will immediately lose its ability to move. Then she can seize the opportunity to end the monster's life with a sword, greatly improving efficiency.
Xie Jiaoyue patted Xin Xiuying on the shoulder: "Xiuying baby."
Why make such a disgusting noise?
"I'll provide the robes, you provide the pills, so this round is a draw. But I still need to assassinate the magical beasts, so shouldn't you do something else? Like, act as bait?"
Xin Xiuying patted Xie Jiaoyue on the shoulder: "Jiaoyue baby, do I look like someone who can run that fast? How about we do it like before, a relay race? You run while I kill, and I run while you kill."
Okay.
The two reached an agreement happily.
There were only ten magical beasts in total. Xie Jiaoyue killed one, and Chu Xingjin killed one. Now Chu Xingjin has his eye on the second one, so they need to speed things up.
Xin Xiuying was the first to appear.
She takes a ruthless and taciturn approach. After spotting a magical beast, she uses pebbles to attract its attention and then starts running at top speed.
Because the monsters were originally quite far away from them, by the time Xin Xiuying reached the trap, she was exhausted, her hair was disheveled, and she looked extremely disheveled.
Xie Jiaoyue didn't want it to be like this. If possible, she hoped that she would look beautiful while dealing with the magical beasts.
Soon, the once peaceful woods were filled with the exclamations of young girls.
"Hey, you mere monster, prepare to die!"
A single shout brought out several freshmen who had been hiding and fleeing. Who was so brave as to shout like that?
And what they're shouting, how should I put it, seems to be completely meaningless?
The monsters that learn about the world through sound were truly drawn in.
Xie Jiaoyue continued to exclaim in surprise, "Waaah, the monster looks so scary!"
"Mother, I miss you. Being chased by monsters is too hard."
"You vile and ugly monsters, stop chasing me!"
Xin Xiuying covered her face; she really couldn't stand this drama queen!
Under Xie Jiaoyue's sonic attack, the monster's movements became increasingly urgent, even faster than when it was chasing people. The distance between it and Xie Jiaoyue was less than a meter several times, which made most people tremble with fear.
But Xin Xiuying, who was closest to Xie Jiaoyue, knew that Xie Jiaoyue was clearly handling things with ease.
Does this even need a reason? Xie Jiaoyue didn't even let a single strand of her hair fall out; she even had time to tidy her bangs.
It's infuriating! Most of these golden spiritual roots are reserved for sword cultivators. Cultivators with stronger physiques than those with other spiritual roots have an advantage even when running away.
After Xie Jiaoyue finally guided the monster to its destination, Xin Xiuying seized the opportunity, infused her sword with spiritual energy, and disemboweled the monster.
Blood was everywhere, staining her clothes red.
Xie Jiaoyue dodged and jumped behind Xin Xiuying, avoiding getting a single drop of blood on herself.
"Sister Xiuying, you are so amazing. Unlike me, I don't even dare to kill monsters like that."
Xin Xiuying told Xie Jiaoyue to shut up.
If she hadn't just watched Xie Jiaoyue kill the monster, she might have believed it too.
With their combined efforts, Xie Jiaoyue finally surpassed Chu Xingjin and won first place.
Nine people died in total. Chu Xingjin killed three, and Xie Jiaoyue and Xin Xiuying killed six.
However, the division commander determined that Xie Jiaoyue made a greater contribution, so he assigned 3.5 to Xie Jiaoyue and 2.5 to Xin Xiuying.
Xie Jiaoyue overtook him with a single sentence, by a difference of only 0.5 monsters.
It was thrilling; the last one became the deciding factor.
Perhaps this magical beast was deaf, for it never appeared no matter how Xie Jiaoyue called out to it.
Now that everyone knew there was only one monster left, the previously hiding freshmen finally grew bolder and gathered in front of the cave where the last monster lived.
Xie Jiaoyue, Xin Xiuying, and Chu Xingjin were no exception.
This was the first time Xie Jiaoyue had encountered Chu Xingjin since entering the dense forest.
She glanced at the leaderboard and, as usual, began to praise, "Brother Chu is so amazing! He killed three magical beasts all by himself, unlike me, who needs to cooperate with Sister Xiuying."
"Brother Chu has improved so quickly. Last time he was so scared when he saw the monster, but this time he can remain calm."
Chu Xingjin glanced at the rankings, then looked at Xie Jiaoyue in front of him.
It was Xie Jiaoyue who knew that Xie Jiaoyue loved him to the point of obsession. Otherwise, if it were someone else saying that, he would definitely have given them a good scolding.
There were other reasons why he didn't hold a grudge against Xie Jiaoyue this time.
He finally heard someone praise him.
Since the monster hadn't shown up yet, the relaxed freshmen began to whisper about the two prominent figures.
"Xie Jiaoyue is actually no match for Chu Xingjin. I saw them kill monsters, and they relied on tricks and skillful techniques, unlike Chu Xingjin, who relied on hard power."
"Indeed, they all have the Golden Spiritual Root, so even without cultivation, their swords are sharper than others. However, Chu Xingjin's sword is clearly sharper than Xie Jiaoyue's."
Chu Xingjin leaped down from the treetop and instantly killed the monster; the scene was so impactful that Xie Jiaoyue and the other two seemed too gentle in comparison.
This is the first time that Chu Xingjin's brilliance has not been overshadowed by Xie Jiaoyue.
He thoroughly enjoyed himself, feeling that this was the right thing to do. All that had happened before was just an accident. Xie Jiaoyue only knew a little about eating, drinking, and having fun, which was why she attracted attention at the Fulai Restaurant. However, because she was a high-level furnace cauldron, she was mistakenly judged to have better talent than him. And because she was a daughter of a noble family and had more experience than him, she remained fearless in the face of magical beasts.
Look, now that he's seen the world, isn't he able to remain calm and composed in the face of danger?
Xie Jiaoyue used to be able to beat him through unexpected factors, but she won't be able to anymore.
Chu Xingjin was absolutely certain that if there could only be one number one, it would definitely be him.
He also tidied his appearance, knowing that Feng Qianqian must be watching him through some means.
Having gone through this ordeal, Feng Qianqian will surely love him even more.
The Phoenix Clan gave Xie Jiaoyue so many things before, and they will only give him more in the future.
Chu Xingjin's talent is indeed remarkable; he actually comprehended a sword move during several battles.
At this moment, he held Xie's longsword, stepped back with one foot, and with a loud shout, a sword aura rushed forward, straight into the cave, making a loud explosion.
A sword move that has little offensive power but is extremely impressive; it looks perfect for showing off.
As expected of the male lead.
With a roar, the enraged monster burst out of the cave, its small, gray-black eyes searching for the troublemakers, its huge ears twitching as it tried to pinpoint their location.
However, Chu Xingjin's figure had long since disappeared, vanished without a trace.
He left, and many of the other stunned freshmen were still in shock, not having reacted yet.
It became a target of Warcraft.
The first one to be targeted was a freshman with three spiritual roots who was closest to him.
This was the first time he had faced a monster head-on. The monster's enormous size froze him in place, and he completely panicked, forgetting even to run away.
What to do, what to do? Wasn't this the monster Chu Xingjin summoned? Why is he facing a monster now?
How do you send a distress signal? Oh no, he's too scared to find it.
Most importantly, he saw the monster's sharp fangs.
What's going on? Weren't all the monsters' teeth supposed to be pulled out by their masters? How come this one still has teeth?
As the monster was about to reach him, he mustered his last bit of courage and raised his weapon towards it.
Snap, the weapon broke.
At the critical moment, he was knocked away by a huge force and fell to the ground not far away.
It is Xie Jiaoyue.
Xie Jiaoyue also fell to the ground, her usually clean and flawless face slamming into the ground, where it was cut by sharp stones, revealing streaks of blood.
A familiar female voice rang out: "What are you standing there for? Run!"
The sound was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, waking many people up.
The timid freshman finally mustered up his courage and, risking being targeted by the monsters again, shouted to the crowd.
"That monster has teeth, it's dangerous, get out of the way!"
Xie Jiaoyue naturally noticed this as well, but since she didn't need to come into contact with the magical beasts when killing them, she wasn't too worried.
Just as she was about to repeat Xin Xiuying's old trick of luring the monster to the trap, she saw Xin Xiuying come to her side.
"Our trap has been destroyed."
She turned around and realized something was wrong. She and Xin Xiuying hadn't been keeping their voices down, and they were close to the monster. They had even provoked it earlier, so the monster should have been chasing them.
However, the monsters had no interest in the two of them and instead chased after the others.
Xie Jiaoyue looked in the direction the magical beast had left.
Could Chu Xingjin be hiding in that direction?
Chu Xingjin hid among the leaves, watching the magical beast chase a freshman toward him.
It'll be quick; he only needs a moment.
The newborns were moving slower and slower, and by the time they reached him, they would be overtaken by the monsters. This was the moment he was waiting for—the moment when the monsters caught up with the others and let their guard down.
As for that freshman, he'll only get a minor injury at most; he deserves it for being incompetent.
