Chapter 667: Anomaly (3k)
“Use more powerful reverse Elemental Power to wash it away. That Elemental Power needs to reach the peak of Level 3 Extraordinary Attributes, otherwise, the woman’s seal will last for another three months before it slowly loosens…”
Lin’s words slowed down a bit. Pouting her small mouth, she plucked the petals from a small blue flower and popped them into her mouth, eating them slowly.
Her fair cheeks bulged slightly from the energy provided by the flower petals, her delicate melon seed face transforming into a pair of chubby cheeks. She looked pitiful yet a little proud.
“To completely remove it and restore my original strength, it will take at least a year and a half.”
Her current goal is to devour this small blue flower as soon as possible, refine it, and reach the Demigod Level. Only then can she defeat monsters above the High Battle King Level and earn the necessary Magic Crystals.
Listening to her words, Su Jiu also fell into thought. Looking at the girl quietly chewing flower petals, he muttered to himself:
“Washing it away with more powerful Elemental Power will be unbearable for oneself. Isn’t this method a paradox? Let’s just remove it over time.”
“No, I can bear it. The meridians inside my body are not comparable to those of humans.”
Lin opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Su Jiu. Her light purple pupils revealed a hint of indifference. Clearly, she was not afraid of bearing and enduring; she even felt relaxed.
Having grown from the humblest little Ice Vulture to this point, how could she fear the cleansing of this Elemental Power?
“Even if you can bear it, I won’t be able to find anyone with Level 3 peak Elemental Power. Ordinary War God Level users mostly use Level 2 Extraordinary Attributes. Owners of Level 3 Extraordinary Attributes cannot be found by searching online.”
Giving Lin a white glance, Su Jiu shook his head. Not only did this condition require Level 3 Extraordinary Attributes, but it also needed reverse attributes, and the very peak Level 3. This was basically impossible to find.
However, this also proved that the flame attached to the Fen Shuangluan had reached the Level 3 standard. It wasn’t a loss for him to obtain extraordinary flame using its feathers.
“Then why are you asking? I thought you were having a change of heart.”
Lin glared at Su Jiu, feeling a bit speechless. She exhaled the cold air from her mouth and then quietly continued to chew the small blue flower. She could feel her body gradually improving. It had to be said, this was indeed the so-called War God Grade Material.
Seeing Lin about to close her eyes and cultivate, Su Jiu stopped nagging. He took off his mask and tidied up his academic attire, feeling a peculiar sense of refreshment.
His gaze fell on the central area of the stands, a place facing the arena. In just a short while, three middle-aged men in different attire had appeared.
Onmyoji attire, an administrative jacket, and sportswear. These three outfits represented the three factions within Tokyo. The students might not feel anything, but Su Jiu’s mental power was comparable to a Mid-level War God, and it continued to grow with his level.
He could now sense the strength of these three middle-aged men. Two of them should have reached the Mid-level War God level. The one wearing the administrative jacket was slightly weaker, only at the late stage of the Beginner War God level.
Su Jiu felt that these people were likely sent by the local authorities to show face but would not actually influence the competition.
As Su Jiu was observing the three men, the middle-aged man in casual wear suddenly seemed to sense something. He raised his lazy eyes and his gaze directly met Su Jiu’s with interest.
As their eyes met, Su Jiu felt his mind being suppressed. The small white flowers in his pupils trembled and bloomed, resisting the pressure. Without further thought, he quickly lowered his head.
This person’s mental power was far superior to his. He was likely a late-stage Mid-level War God, and one whose all-around offensive power surpassed his own.
But… what did that have to do with her?
This was an exchange event among students. Her participation was like playing a game of Demon King crushing a team of Heroes.
“Heh, isn’t that the seat of Dragon Country’s Imperial University?”
After Su Jiu retracted his mental probe, the middle-aged man in sportswear exclaimed in surprise. He then tapped his hand, his eyes lowered, thinking about something, and muttered softly:
“For Dragon Country to send someone like this as a teacher, is there really something the Kamishiro Family wants here?”
“Mr. Gen Takumi, have you discovered anything?”
The middle-aged man in the administrative jacket beside him quickly asked, looking at the former. Although he was the mayor of Tokyo, the man in front of him came from that yakuza emperor-like family, and was the younger brother of the current head of the Fujiwara family.
As if thinking of something, before Gen Takumi could speak, the middle-aged man dressed as an Onmyoji chuckled and leaned over, saying in a very low voice:
“Takumi-kun, do you need me to move Miss Ji Xiang from the teacher’s group to the student’s group? With her age and strength, ordinary students are no match for her.”
“I’m fine, and you don’t need to do that.”
Hearing this, Gen Takumi glanced at the two men, stopped tapping his finger, and slowly shook his head, saying plainly: “We are attending this exchange event as guests and referees. If the small exchange competition cannot be fair and just, it will definitely be criticized by the outside world.”
The main reason he brought his niece, who had returned home a few days ago, to this exchange event was that he had discovered that the other two major families—[Kamishiro] and [Suzuki]—seemed very interested in this research association. As this relic was of national importance, various forces could not participate freely, so they chose to send people into the investigation team.
Gen Takumi felt that if these people could secretly send people among those students, why couldn’t he replace one of the teachers with his niece?
As for the outcome of the competition, it wasn’t the focus at all. The most important thing was the subsequent exploration…
About half an hour later, people gradually arrived on the scene. The previously sparse dojo was filled like a beehive. Lin Chujiu and others, carrying various documents, rushed over through the entrance passage, seeming to have been busy with many things since morning.
Behind them, Su Ze also carried a laptop. Noticing Su Jiu in the corner, he glanced at Lin, who was in a meditative state, and asked with a smile: “Cousin, why did you come so early?”
“I was just curious about what this exchange event would be like, so I came early to take a look.”
Su Jiu replied casually. Then, noticing the computer in the former’s hand, he blinked his eyes in confusion and asked, “What about you, big cousin? What are you carrying so many bags for so early in the morning?”
“This?”
Su Ze paused, lifted the computer, and revealed a helpless expression. After making way for the students behind him, he said with a hint of complaint:
“The dormant volcano near the ruins erupted around two or three last night. The magma almost permeated the nearby sea currents. We received the news this morning and sent people to investigate the situation. Everyone is busy now; some are responsible for contacting the front lines, and others are investigating the cause of the volcanic eruption.”
He paused slightly and then asked with a smile: “Do you want to join the research? The principal instructed me that the overall results of this exploration will be converted 1:1 with your final grade.”
“Then I won’t disturb your work. I majored in Priest in college, so I don’t understand geology or oceanography at all…”
Hearing about work, Su Jiu quickly waved his hand, righteously refusing the invitation. He then patted his cousin’s shoulder and said quite seriously: “As for the principal, you’re my big cousin, isn’t it reasonable to use your connections?”
What a joke!
Could she make money passively while selling things, then find trouble for no reason?
“I can’t grade you here. The person who actually grades is that Teacher Lin.”
Leaving that sentence behind, Su Ze then pointed to the front seats with his laptop and hurried off.
“Big cousin is really just a decoration. Also, I need Teacher Lin to help me with the final exam, otherwise, if I really repeat a grade, it would be too much.”
Watching his retreating figure, Su Jiu pouted. He strongly condemned his incompetent big cousin!
Seemingly noticing Su Jiu’s frustration, Lin seemed to sense it. Even while absorbing energy, she curled her small mouth upwards and couldn’t help but tease:
“Heh, so someone can’t even finish their final exam? In the human world of Bears of the Snow, only children do that…”
“Slap!”
Before she could finish, a dull sound echoed between the two. A warm sensation came from her thigh, and a small hand began to slowly move deeper into her thigh. Then, a soft hum reached her ears:
“Heh heh… What are you saying, little Lin’er?”
Feeling the tickling sensation on her thigh, Lin showed a hint of shame on her face, but she didn’t dare to make a move. She was at a critical moment of absorbing energy!
Feeling the small hand reaching the edge of her hot pants, and a finger probing into the tight fabric, Lin realized something was wrong. She immediately said in a very small voice:
“What I mean is… only children do that. Like us adults, we don’t need to care about such things.”
She knew this was someone warning her not to speak too much, otherwise, the small hand would continue to be unrestrained.
She endured it!
Once she recovered, she would definitely get revenge on this con artist fiercely!
“Oh, is that what you meant? I thought little Lin’er was going to mock me for being inferior to children.”
Hearing her cowardly words, Su Jiu chuckled and retracted his hand. He reached out and pinched Lin’s seemingly cold and proud little face, without doing anything excessive.
Instead, he took out a spare phone and checked the volcanic situation from that morning. Opening the local browser, he found exactly what he expected: several dormant volcanoes in the Tokyo area had erupted continuously, with the specific cause unknown.
“Let’s go see.”
Looking at the news, Su Jiu gently patted the gourd at his waist. A black shadow entered the ground, and then he tossed the phone down, which instantly disappeared into the black shadow on the ground…
As various formalities were introduced on stage, and under the cameras of numerous reporters, the exchange competition officially kicked off. The students from South Asian University and Seoul University looked at each other excitedly, both having reasons to be happy.
One was happy because they had obtained alchemical weapons, and the other was because they had been matched against a weak team…
