Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wounds kept appearing on Rong Xiu’s body, yet these wounds recovered at a shocking speed. It was as if he had falen into a strange cycle, but this process was clearly long-term torture for him.

He glanced at the person in his arms.

Even though she hadn’t completely awakened, wounds didn’t appear on her body, and the coldness was leaving her body bit by bit.

He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart as he held her thin waist and pulled her in even more tightly.

Such a long time had passed, and her body’s warmth had recovered gradually.

Rong Xiu urged the force in his body as he held her hands tightly and removed the last bit of coldness.

The surroundings were quiet as if all the sounds in the outside world were blocked.

Looking up, there were dark ripples.

Looking below, there were shattered rocks.

In the middle, there were many silver rays of light swimming around.

That was the strength of the Heaven-Locking Formation! Perhaps because of this strength… Although the bottom rocks had cracks, they had temporarily stopped widening.

Besides, the surrounding frost had mostly disappeared. Only a thin layer stubbornly stayed on that rock.

…

In the middle of the mountain, Luo Yanming and Luo Yanlin were sitting opposite each other. There was a chessboard in between them.

Luo Yanming knitted his brows tightly, and there were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead. He stared at the chessboard for a total of 15 minutes, but he hadn’t placed any pieces down.

“Being too meticulous is being indecisive,” Luo Yanlin said slowly opposite him.

Luo Yanming was even more nervous as he held the chess piece in his hands for some time. Then, he placed it down hesitantly.

Luo Yanlin placed a piece down almost instantly.

Piak!?

“You lost.”

Luo Yanming’s aura weakened suddenly, and he looked embarrassed. “Fourth Brother, I’m too useless.”

Actually, he knew that his Fourth Brother was intentionally letting him win. It was a pity that he wasn’t talented enough, so he still couldn’t be compared to his Fourth Brother.

“You’ve been stable and diligent since young. Based on this point alone, you’re better than most people. If not, you wouldn’t have been able to get into Ling Xiao Academy.” Luo Yanlin laughed and was very kind to him.

He raised his chin. “You can go and study this scenario.”

“Yes.” Luo Yanming acknowledged the order obediently, but he still looked rather lonely.

“What’s the matter?” Detecting that his emotions were amiss, Luo Yanlin asked a few more questions.

Luo Yanming kept quiet for a while before looking up and asking, “Fourth Brother, I know that with my talent, I will never be able to exceed your results in this area no matter how hardworking or diligent I am. There are so many people in the academy that are more talented than me. Do you think… there’s still a meaning in me doing this every day?”

What caused Luo Yanming to feel strange was that Luo Yanlin wasn’t as angry as he predicted, and he even laughed instead.

“So this is what you were thinking of when you were so distracted lately?”

Luo Yanming nodded uneasily.

In fact, such emotions had already troubled him for quite some time. He had been in Ling Xiao Academy for a few months. In the beginning, he was still rather confident. However, he gradually realized that he wasn’t that outstanding.

Even though his personality was stable, he was used to keeping things to himself, so he couldn’t think past it.

“Actually, this is very normal. All the top talents in the entire God Residence Realm are gathered here. However, there’s only one number one, and you have to compete to see who is better. Your talent is definitely among the top. As long as you persevere and cultivate, you will make it in life one day.”

Luo Yanming hesitated for a moment. It wasn’t that he did not understand this logic, but it required a strong mentality to actually digest it.

Luo Yanlin raised his brows. “Actually, I feel that you’re quite lucky. In your batch, the most talented one should be Lin Zhifei.”

Luo Yanming nodded. “If I go against him, I should only have… a 30% chance of winning.”

Speaking of this, his gaze darkened slightly. He originally thought that the two of them could be on par, but he later discovered that Lin Zhifei was much more talented than him.

If Lin Zhifei had the same background as him, he would’ve long—

“Thirty percent… is high enough!” Luo Yanlin suddenly laughed. He stood up and walked over to pat his shoulders. “Back when I came to the academy, my opponents were Shangguan Yue and Rong Xiu—the two freaks! You should be lucky that Shangguan Yue had previously hidden her identity and only followed Elder Wan Zheng to cultivate as a heavenly doctor. If not…”

Luo Yanming asked curiously, “Fourth Brother, you knew her in the past. How strong is she as a Xuan Master?”

They knew very clearly that Shangguan Yue was very talented as a heavenly doctor and warrior. However, she hadn’t truly shown the crowd her skills as a Xuan Master.

Luo Yanlin’s expression was extremely complicated and even faintly bitter. Finally, he took a deep breath in and asked, “I’ll tell you one thing. Do you know why Fangzhou City has no main gate?”

“That’s because she damaged it thrice in one month! She even left a mark beside the entrance and caused the barrier to be broken, so the elders could only make a new one!”

The elders were beyond angry, so they decided to remove that gate directly.

“Also, do you really think that Rong Xiu taught her how to break the academy’s barrier?”

Luo Yanming’s eyes widened, and his mouth was agape.

“Kid, there are many talents in the world. Instead of doubting yourself, why don’t you strengthen your skills!?”

Luo Yanming thought for a long while and then nodded solemnly. After that, he unwittingly looked toward Million Wine Mountain.”Then… Fourth Brother, since they’re both so capable, this time…”

Luo Yanlin squinted his eyes. “Rong Xiu never does something he’s not confident in, and Shangguan Yue… She has already died once, so she will cherish her life even more.”

He didn’t think that the two went to seek death.

Luo Yanming thought for a moment and still felt rather uneasy. “But… tomorrow is the end of the one-month deadline. By then, the Heaven-Locking Formation will completely destroy Million Wine Mountain. If they still can’t come out—”

Luo Yanlin’s gaze suddenly turned. “During this period of time, Lin Zhifei and Mu Hongyu didn’t come out, right?”

“Huh? Oh, right.” Luo Yanming followed his gaze.

Ever since they saw Lin Zhifei and Mu Hongyu entering the cave that day, they didn’t hear anything about the two of them. Besides, the academy was filled with troubles, and everyone felt very uneasy, so they didn’t pay much attention to this.

A thought surfaced in Luo Yanlin’s heart. In the end, he still said, “It’s already very late today. Go back first—”

Boom!?

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud sound coming from Million Wine Mountain!

The two of them were stunned as they immediately looked over!

At this point, it was already evening, and the sunlight shone down with a warm orange color, illuminating half the sky.

Million Wine Mountain suddenly collapsed from the middle!
