Chapter 225
The feeling of being stepped on by a knife is rare and mysterious.
Shen Yijing did not use his superpower to wrap the knife just now. After he realized that Jiang Yunu's own combat power seemed to be strong enough, and that the opponent was still a qualified warrior when he did not use his superpower, he consciously withdrew his superpower to fight.
He was actually very curious and wanted to know how he would perform against Jiang Yu Nu if he didn't rely on elemental weapons at all and didn't call on the energy core.
but--
The long sword was not covered with supernatural powers, leaving Jiang Yunu with an opportunity to step on it. However, this did not mean that this elemental weapon was not connected to Shen Yijing's energy core. The elemental weapon relied on the master's supernatural powers to activate the link, and the link between him and the black long sword was never broken during combat.
Jiang Yunu's step was fed back to the human-sword connection through the blade, and the sensory changes it left on Shen Yijing were really strange.
And Jiang Yunu was only concerned about Shen Yijinggang's problem.
The white-haired girl jokingly asked Captain Shen if he paid too much attention to her. Under her relaxed tone, she was actually quietly sounding a red light alarm in her heart.
——The "big prize" she took away from the treasure house on the top floor of the Trial Tower was a Beyond Grade A Crystal Core.
A high-level crystal core that is extremely important to the Zhou family, who is far away in the Seventh District. The Olai family's transportation logistics has been rushed to the core of the Seventh District.
Why was Shen Yijing suddenly concerned about her reward? Did he know about the low-key "Didi Express" she had arranged, or did this top-tier young master born in the first district also hear about what was going on in the seventh district, and perhaps even be implicated in it, and was testing her in a roundabout way?
Jiang Yunu usually doesn't like to make malicious assumptions about others, but this incident is special. It involves her relatives and friends in the Seventh District whom she cares about very much, and the core figure is Zhou Jinxue. It is difficult for her not to think a lot and brainstorm in just two minutes.
After being "choked" by the white-haired girl again, Shen Yijing simply followed her logic and admitted for the first time: "I do pay attention."
Jiang Yunu: "...Ouch."
Jiang Yunu has a brain with complicated and intricate circuits.
After hearing this, she immediately replied to Captain Shen with sincerity: "Is this your tactic?"
Shen Yijing didn't know why he suddenly came up with the tactic of "falling from the sky". What he was thinking was obviously different from what Jiang Yunu was thinking, which made a trace of confusion appear on his face - like a bubble suddenly surging up from under the calm water.
Shen Yijing said: “My tactics?”
"Yeah." As Jiang Yunu spoke, her figure moved with the wind. Of course, she was not standing there stupidly and talking to Shen Yijing as if she was having a "1v1 discussion". Instead, she continued to fight with the other party, and the two never stopped fighting.
Jiang Yunu used her elemental creation to block Shen Yijing's long sword, and Shen Yijing's eyes were fixed on her face.
He was still waiting for her further answer.
She smiled and said, "Suddenly admitting your attention to someone on the battlefield, using it to disrupt your opponent's mind and find their momentary flaws - Captain Shen, would you plan such a tactic?"
Shen Yijing's gaze still stayed on Jiang Yunu's face, but somehow, Jiang Yunu saw four words from his expressionless face: [inexplicable].
Shen Yijing commented lightly on Jiang Yunu's tactical guess: "Low-level. This plan is not within my consideration."
The white-haired girl sighed.
She said in a tone that looked regretful, "Really? But I know how to use it."
Shen Yijing: “…”
Jiang Yunu's elemental creation blocked Shen Yijing's unsheathed knife again, but this time, she did not block his knife, nor did she use her arm strength to lift his knife, nor did she change the direction strangely.
Jiang Yunu continued to press forward with the weapon made of elemental power in her hand. She leaned forward, shortening the distance between her and Shen Yijing.
The white-haired girl appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. She looked at Shen Yijing with a smile on her face.
The smile was extremely cunning, like a wild animal deliberately greeting its prey with ill intentions.
"Captain Shen has been so special to me since the beginning of the league, and he even admitted that he pays attention to me. It's really helpless." Jiang Yunu pressed down Shen Yijing's knife and said, "You are so proactive that I can't help but start paying attention to you."
Shen Yijing: “…”
The "initiative" mentioned by Jiang Yunu must have some deeper meaning, and it is likely that ambiguity is deliberately introduced.
Shen Yijing never retreated when his combat level was still excellent - of course, he never retreated when he was physically exhausted and his combat level declined.
But he was pressed back a little by Jiang Yunu's relentless pressure.
… She didn’t sound like she used to pay any attention to me at all.
Shen Yijing thought.
As the only son of the current president of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association, and having shown exceptional talent since elementary Psychic School, Shen Yijing's daily life was marked by attention, admiration, envy, and jealousy. However, listening to Jiang Yunu's tone, he seemed to have suddenly become an ordinary person.
Just because he was paying attention to her, she was willing to pay attention to him in return.
...Wait, what was I originally going to say to her?
This thought was like a high-powered searchlight shining into the fog, and it instantly dispelled the distracting thoughts lingering in Captain Shen's mind.
He suddenly came to his senses and finally realized that the topic had deviated far from his original intention.
Shen Yijing was really concerned about what Jiang Yunu took from the Trial Tower treasury.
"Why is this question again?" Jiang Yunu's heart skipped a beat when she heard the topic being turned back here. She thought this matter had long been over, but she didn't expect Shen Yijing still remembered it.
Just as Jiang Yunu was calmly judging in her heart and thinking about what she should say to avoid the topic, she didn't expect that Shen Yijing might be afraid that her thoughts would be led astray again, so Captain Shen changed to a relatively straightforward way of asking questions.
"I just want to know if you took the potion from the treasury." Shen Yijing stared at Jiang Yunu closely, as if not wanting to miss the slightest change in her expression.
"Potion?" Jiang Yunu's face was filled with confusion. The Transcendent A-Grade Crystal Core was on her mind, and she didn't immediately think of what potion Shen Yijing was talking about. "What potion?"
She actually asked that.
And her reaction has already given Captain Shen the answer.
Shen Yijing looked relieved.
“It’s good that you didn’t choose the potion.” Shen Yijing said.
Jiang Yunu then connected all the key words together - just after she finished the Trial Tower, the artificial intelligence had indeed recommended potions to her in the treasury.
The effect is energy amplification, which looks like some kind of combat power enhancer.
Shen Yijing said, "There are already players in the camp who are privately commissioning people, hoping to ask someone who is capable of clearing the Trial Tower to bring the potion out for a secret transaction."
It sounds like there’s a new “get-rich-quickie” in the league camp.
However, combined with Shen Yijing's attitude and the other party's subtle intention of hoping that she would not choose the potion, Jiang Yunu felt something was wrong.
"Will there be a lot of trouble after choosing the potion?" Jiang Yunu asked whatever came to her mind, her mind racing. "Or... is there a 'little trouble' with the potion itself?"
Shen Yijing's eyes suddenly shifted away from her.
The black long sword broke away from the confrontation with Jiang Yunu, and Captain Shen sheathed the sword and turned around with astonishing agility.
Jiang Yunu couldn't figure out why Shen Yijing suddenly stopped fighting. The object that had been chasing and biting her for a long time was like a robot whose built-in instructions suddenly changed, as if it was about to switch to a new task process.
"Look." Shen Yijing gestured for Jiang Yunu to look in the new direction as well.
He said, "'Eye of the Desert.'
——Wow, they accidentally broke out the core area of the map while fighting.
Jiang Yunu followed Shen Yijing's instructions and saw that Captain Shen's fingers were covered with quicksand.
She hadn't paid much attention to that area before, because the wind power released by Shen Yijing could leave traces on the sand, and the residual wind element energy would adhere to the sand. It would take until the element energy completely dissipated before the fine sand temporarily "shaped" by the element power would gather together and return to its original appearance.
In addition to the remnants of Chen Yijing's wind elemental energy, wherever the two fought, there were also remnants of green earth elemental energy.
On the battle map [Eye of the Desert], the hidden exploration mechanism of its core area "Eye of the Desert" is as follows: you must use both wind and earth elemental powers at the same time to cover the sand area around the "Eye of the Desert", and the outline of the "Eye of the Desert" will appear.
No wonder it took so long for the competition to land on the stage. Other schools, while fighting and exploring, still haven't found this core area.
It was really an accidental shot by Jiang Yunu and Captain Shen.
Shen Yijing is already gathering the Duma school team, and he will not forget his responsibilities as captain.
After quickly completing the internal communication within the team, he turned his gaze to Jiang Yunu.
Of course, he knew clearly that Jiang Yunu would definitely contact the Golden Urie school team.
The location of the "Eye of the Desert" has been determined, and what needs to be done next is to explore this map in depth.
But Jiang Yunu not only contacted the Golden Ule School Team.
In the melee zone where other schools were fighting, Jin Qing used her perception to explore all the way. Solok and Ulena protected her as she moved forward quickly. They avoided fighting all the way and found the Diyao Academy, which was moving like a steel fortress in the melee zone.
When he noticed that players from other teams were approaching at high speed, the Di Yao student in charge of the outermost formation already had supernatural light swirling around his hands.
But the captain of Diyao stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
The good captain of Golden Uriel hurried forward, and when Jin Qing could see the Di Yao school team with the naked eye, he also put away his perception ability to sweep, and Ulaina continued to escort the two of them.
"Captain Suo of Golden Uriel." Captain Di Yao spoke calmly. She rarely called out the captain's title in the senior league, and rarely spoke to him.
But things are different now. The Golden Uriel school team with Jiang Yunu is a team that needs normal social interaction.
Captain Diyao asked, "You look like you have something to talk to me about?"
"I'm looking for your entire team." Sorok spoke without beating around the bush. He lowered his voice and got straight to the point, sharing important information. "Jiang Yunu found the location of the 'Eye of the Desert'. She specifically asked me to share these coordinates with Diyao's team."
