Path Of The Lilies - Chapter 351 Adaptability Tes
Seeing Elder Qian just watched amusedly, all of them felt that their common sense was blown. That young man didn’t even open his fan at all, alright! He was only acting girly and teasing that young girl!
11 points…
How was that even worth that many points?
Everyone felt that their common sense had fallen through at this moment.
“I can’t believe this,” Qi Huan felt like face palming. He didn’t want to believe it. How come such a performance could be worthy of such a score? Though, he had to admit that the young man seemed to be very at ease even when fighting that young woman.
Slap!
The young woman has a red face. Apparently, she was not used to the close proximity that Han Fu showed. Even though it was just a simple fight, she still didn’t wish to get too close to him.
“Here goes my chance,” Han Fu rubbed his cheek. He looked at Ye Jiao with a grin on his face. “How’s my performance?”
“It’s… not bad,” Ye Jiao grinned.
Han Fu smirked. “Truth to be told, I wish to perform more, but I just can’t fight against beautiful girls. Whenever I see beautiful girls, I just want to tease them and make fun of them. The way they blushed is so…..”
As soon as he began to blabber, Ye Jiao moved away from Han Fu and acted as if she didn’t know him. There was no way she wanted to be associated with this kind of man. Come on, couldn’t you realize it yourself that the way you were acting would just drive girls away?
There were already a handful of them who were looking at you with disgust and wariness in their eyes.
Unfortunately, Han Fu had such a thick skin that he didn’t realize any of that. He just kept on blabbering nonstop about what he wanted to do and his preference. After a minute, no one wanted to stay within five meters’ radius around him. He was just too loud!
And amazingly, Han Fu himself didn’t realize it. He just continued to blabber more and more words about how amazing he was.
“I can’t really see anything special from his performance,” Lu Wan said through gritted teeth.
Ye Jiao had to agree, but she knew that the elders must have their own reason for giving such a high score for Han Fu. Well, in the first place, she was unfamiliar with a weapon such as a fan. In the past, there was no opponent whom she faced with the same weapon.
“Is there something special in his movements?” Ye Jiao asked.
Qi Huan shook his head. He looked at Ye Jiao as if saying, ‘You tell me.’
Ye Jiao was helpless when even the most knowledgeable among the three of them couldn’t answer. Maybe, that was just how those with weapons of a fan worked. There must be something that Han Fu did when he was trying to talk with the young girl.
The elders soon finished their examination and told Qin Zheng to post the scores.
Qin Zheng smiled. “I wish you all good luck.”
“Eh?”
“What?”
In the next moment, they saw something underneath their feet. It was an array, to be exact: Teleportation Array. Their faces changed immediately. They didn’t even have the time to catch their breath, ah!
How ruthless….
The teachers loved to give them a surprise!
Swish!
Ye Jiao could only see everything around her blurred before she noticed that she had arrived on a battlefield. Her eyes widened in surprise. Her body tensed up immediately as she could see the row of soldiers coming to get her. This wouldn’t end well. She had never been on a battlefield before this.
“What are you doing standing over there? Fight!”
The yell caused her to be startled. Ye Jiao soon realized that she was wearing one of the soldier’s clothes. It was weird to be pushed in this situation without any warning or whatsoever, but she had to act fast. Someone already moved to her direction with its blade ready to kill her.
Swish! Tak!
The dagger in her hand moved swiftly. She parried the attack and killed him without hesitation. Blood dyed her hand, yet there was no emotion in her youthful face. Even though she didn’t know why she was sent here, she had to find a way to survive. That was what she thought.
Looking at the wooden dagger in her hand, Ye Jiao smiled wryly. It was the weapon that they gave her for the test and she still brought it even here?
That…
“Don’t slack off! Are you all ladies?”
As a matter of fact, she’s still a young girl, but Ye Jiao didn’t try to retort.
She gripped her hand on the dagger tighter and used her Eon Energy to cover it. Using wooden dagger to fight against metal weapon would be suicide. She needed to make sure that the weapon could survive all these hardships.
Tak! Slash! Slash!
Imbued with Eon Energy, the wooden dagger seemed to transform into a completely different weapon. Sweat trickled down Ye Jiao’s forehead for she understood that she had to control her Eon Energy precisely to make sure that she could use her weapon perfectly.
Her eyes caught the view in front of her as she sucked a deep breath. Numerous dead people were lying on the ground. It was even much more than when she had to fight against an entire gang or even the soldiers in Chen Kingdom Capital City.
Bodies fell from the two sides.
They all scattered on the ground, leaving it with no place to stand aside from on top of their body.
‘If not because I’m already used to killing thanks to my work as an assassin, I’m sure that I would have fainted on the spot.’
Slash!
Using her Eon Energy to the fullest, Ye Jiao continued to make her move against her opponent. She was glad that this place didn’t restrain her from using her Eon Energy. Though, she could faintly sense that her connection with her spatial bracelet weakened considerably.
It meant she wouldn’t be able to use her own weapon.
“Keep moving!”
Over the dead row of bodies, another group of soldiers emerged. Ye Jiao’s expression hardened. This would not be the first time for her to fight against a lot of people, but their number never reached the amount that appeared before her. There were simply too many of them.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Sounds of killing permeated the area as Ye Jiao’s body kept on moving. Pushing her concentration to the limit, Ye Jiao continued to fight over and over again. Even though it was hard, she kept on going and made sure that she would not fall down. No matter what, she would survive.
…
In the meantime, the elders were watching over the scene calmly. Elder Cai was standing still in her place with her hands crossed. In front of her, several screens have appeared, showing each of the youngster’s struggles.
“it’s quite harsh of you to not give them any time to catch their breath,” Qin Zheng commented.
“Says someone who kept doing the same thing,” Elder Cai snorted. “You should just go back and rest. Your task is over, Qin Zheng.”
Qin Zheng didn’t seem to hear her words as he kept a smile on his handsome face. “Even though you give me an order, I’m afraid I can’t fulfill it, Elder Cai.”
Elder Cai’s expression darkened. She could see the expression on Qin Zheng’s face was clearly telling her that ‘you’re nothing but a stranger. Why are you giving me an order when my own teacher didn’t say anything?’
There was nothing that Qin Zheng said out of proportion, but his confident expression clearly said them all. This caused Elder Cai to feel enraged again. She always hated this capable young man precisely because of his talent and conduct.
Elder Qian sighed. “Zheng, is there anything that you want to see from the competition?”
“Is there?” Qin Zheng raised his head, looking as innocent as possible. There was nothing that betrayed his real feeling as he just stared at Elder Qian with genuine expression. Of course, those who knew him would just scream that he was acting.
“You can return back to the city. I’m sure that you need some rest.”
“There’s no need to worry. I’m perfectly fine.”
“You-” Elder Qian was startled. He looked at the young man’s expression with confusion. What happened to Qin Zheng today? He has never been this difficult to deal with. At least normally. “Do whatever you want.”
“Thank you, Elder Qian.”
After the two elders shifted their focus on the screens in front of them, Qin Zheng raised his head once more. He looked at the screens with patience. Even though he was unable to see any picture, he knew that the elders were watching their performance. He wanted to know the result, so he chose to wait here.
