“Master, this thing is too precious, I can’t accept this.” Even thieves have a principle. She wasn’t really willing to take away the thing that made Yun Qi safe.
However, Yun Qi just smiled and said: “You little girl don’t need to be so polite. As your master, I can’t use it now and I rather have you play a bigger role. Ouyang Huanyu is a very dangerous character, if not because I need help to obtain a certain potion, I wouldn’t associate myself with such a person. You’re my only student and I don’t want you to be harmed by that old fox. ”
“What potion?” Shen Yanxiao’s interest was piqued. She had some talent for potions and no one could be on an equal footing with her among the new students. If Yun Qi needed some potion, she might be able to help.
Yun Qi was aware of Shen Yanxiao’s thoughts. Although he had stayed indoors, that didn’t hinder him from knowing some matters of the other branches. He knew that his own young disciple had actually been receiving a lot of praises from the mentors of the Pharmaceutical Branch. However, the potion that he needed was too difficult to concoct.
“Even though your master was able to escape the hunt of that time, the damage I had accumulated was big. Although I have the strength of a Great Summoner, I had suffered a serious injury, hence my current strength is suppressed inside my body and cannot be used. The reason why I have accepted the invitation of Ouyang Huanyu was because the potion that could cure my injury was one of the most difficult potion to configure in the whole world. Ouyang Huanyu had promised me that as long as I stay in the Holy Roland School, he will make the pharmacists of his school concoct the potion for me.” If it weren’t because he needed some help, he wouldn’t allow himself to be under that person’s control.
The current status of the Warlocks today had been much less than before and Yun Qi wouldn’t have the means to find a large number of pharmacists to concoct the potion. On the other hand, Ouyang Huanyu as the Dean of the Holy Roland School have many outstanding pharmacists under him. Therefore, he could only rely on Ouyang Huanyu to solve his problem.
Yun Qi was just like a blind man walking on a steel wire while under him was a ferocious wolf, each and every step was very dangerous.
“The potion is called Blood Feast potion. The materials needed are very precious. Moreover, the method of its concoction is very cumbersome. I know that you have some talent in pharmaceutical but this thing is too difficult for you. The three Pharmacy Masters to whom Ouyang Huanyu entrusted the job are all yet to successfully concoct this potion. And it is estimated that only Pharmacy Masters could concoct it.” Yun Qi slightly sighed. The number of Pharmacy Master in the whole Radiance Continent was only few. It was very rare to reach the Master level in Pharmaceutical and whenever there would be a person to reach it, there would already be a strong presence on their side and even behind that person there’s still a more formidable force.
To Yun Qi’s current situation, he wouldn’t be able to move such a force to make the potion. Even Ouyang Huanyu didn’t have this ability.
Shen Yanxiao licked her lips. This was the first time Shen Yanxiao heard the name Blood Feast potion. As for Pharmacy Master, this was indeed a very distant level.
Pharmacy Master was equivalent to the Magician’s level of Saint Magister, which was as rare as a mythological beast.
“Master, do you have the formula for this potion? My strength is not enough, but I will try my best to solve the problem for master.” Ouyang Huanyu was definitely not a reliable person, who knew if he really have the full power to concoct the potion. Instead of pinning his hopes on him, she might as well put her talent together and raise her level so she could be the one to achieve it instead.
“I do have the formula, but… No, nevermind. If you’re really determined then I’ll give it to you.”
Chapter 252 – Pharmacy Master (2)
Yun Qi sighed. To reach the Pharmacy Master level was difficult to achieve. He didn’t believe that Shen Yanxiao could reach that level with her ability. Even the current Pharmacy Masters had painstakingly and dedicatedly studied pharmaceutical their whole life, and only reached the peak after decades of hard work. In addition to that, Shen Yanxiao wasn’t just studying pharmaceutical, she was also cultivating to become a great Warlock. How could she be compared to those who were solely learning pharmaceutical to death?
Even with these odds, just the child’s intention to help him had touched Yun Qi’s heart.
His student, in the end, truly cares for him, ah.
Yun Qi handed the Blood Feast Potion formula to Shen Yanxiao. Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath once she saw the hundreds of medicinal herbs needed for the potion.
Primary level potions generally only needed seven or eight kinds of medicinal herbs and the intermediate level potions required up to 10 or a few more kinds of medicinal herbs. However, even the high level potions required no more than 40 kinds of herbs. And yet, this formula contained hundreds of various medicinal herbs.
Each medicinal herb have their own characteristics. To configure several kinds of medicinal herbs together, one needed to not only accurately grasp the weight of each herb, but also have strong spiritual power to make sure that the medicinal herbs wouldn’t conflict with each other.
Successfully putting more than 100 different kinds of medicinal herbs in harmony, was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
No wonder Yun Qi said that to concoct the Blood Feast potion, one must at least achieve the level of Pharmacy Master. Simply the quantity of the medicinal herbs on the formula would leave a person shocked, unceasingly.
“I will certainly try.” Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath. No matter how difficult the configuration of the Blood Feast Potion, she would still do it. No matter how many times it would take!
She was absolutely unwilling to let her master be under others’s control!
Yun Qi smiled with satisfaction. He couldn’t ask for anything else. Shen Yanxiao’s kind heart was enough to satisfy him.
Since everything seemed to be resolved, Yun Qi naturally proceeded to teach Shen Yanxiao.
After a period of learning, Shen Yanxiao’s magic greatly improved. Her ability to control the flow of magic also had significant growth.
Yun Qi’s heart felt very pleased and he dedicated more of his time in teaching Shen Yanxiao.
Until noon, Shen Yanxiao bid her farewell to Yun Qi and left the Warlock Branch.
She took advantage of the time when the others were still eating their meal and directly slipped back to the pharmacist’s dormitory. There, she carefully studied the Blood Feast formula.
Out of the more than hundred kinds of medicinal herbs, even she could only recognize about 100 of them. As for the other thirty herbs, she hadn’t even heard of them before.
Although the road to becoming a Pharmacy Master was still a long ways off, having collected medicinal herbs would help her in more ways than one.
She looked at the formula carefully. Out of the 100 herbs she recognized, there were probably 70 medicinal herbs that could be bought. The other 30 herbs were considered precious and were difficult to buy, even if you have a lot of money. As for the remaining 30 kinds that she hadn’t heard before, she could only find out their origins and special effects first.
Soon, Shen Yanxiao made a plan. She had a lot of gold coins and would need to ask the Qilin Auction House to help her collect the 70 “ordinary” medicinal herbs. As for those extremely precious medicinal herbs, she would think of other ways to get them in her hands.
Since she had already laid her cards on the table to Qi Xia, she didn’t have any qualms in asking the Qilin Auction House to help her. Otherwise, by herself, even just obtaining 35 kinds of herbs would be a daunting task.
Chapter 253 – Pharmacy Master (3)
As time passed, the students returned to their dormitory one after another. Tang Nazhi came back as well.
The moment he saw Shen Yanxiao in the dormitory, he revealed a smile.
“Has everything gone well? Has your teacher thought of a way?” He had waited at the Priest Branch all morning and fortunately, nothing had happened.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and said: “Everything is fine. I have now a way to escape Ouyang Huanyu’s Perceptual Magic.” If not because Ouyang Huanyu had the support of his magic, she wouldn’t be found easily considering her current strength. But now, with the protection of the Moonlight Necklace, she was hundred percent sure that she could slip into the Warlock Branch, even under Ouyang Huanyu’s surveillance.
“That’s good then. Right, you haven’t eaten yet. Let’s go to Qi Xia and the others. They asked us to have lunch with them.” Tang Nazhi was also relieved. He laughed and stretched out his hand towards Shen Yanxiao’s shoulder.
But the next second, he remembered the little guy’s real gender, and embarrassingly, withdrew his hand.
Shen Yanxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Tang Nazhi’s stiff action. Her mood was rather good as she put out her arms on Tang Nazhi’s shoulders. Smiling, she said: “Let’s go and eat then.”
[TL Sky: Hahahaha, could you imagine a small body putting their arms around a big guy? XD]
[Editor MangoDragon: yea….just picture a monkey hanging off a human…or tree (does it even matter…) :P]
[TL Raz: That will be the most beautiful and OP monkey then.]
Tang Nazhi’s whole body was startled and he immediately resembled a well-behaved kitten. Shen Yanxiao dragged him away from the dormitory, causing his little heart to beat wildly with a thump thump sound along their way.
After knowing Shen Yanxiao’s actual gender, he felt as though something was different. Before, he only thought that Shen Yanxiao had a really nice scent. It wasn’t like a flowery fragrance or an incense odor; just a faint but pleasing scent. It was totally different from the other groups of smelly teenagers there, which was why he was so fond of being around Shen Yanxiao.
[Background Effect Sky: So maybe I like you. Maybe you’d like me too. If given a chance, I’d stand up and grab you by the hand if I can~]
[Editor MangoDragon: sakura falling slowly, everything in slow motion…the moment you know!!]
But now, he felt that the scent was even more attractive.
Could it be that…
This was the legendary fragrance of a woman?
[TL Sky: *hits head at the wall*]
Tang Nazhi was speechless as he looked up at the sky. Shen Yanxiao was only 13 years old!!! She’s simply a wimpy kid who hadn’t even matured yet. How desperate was he to think that this little girl’s scent was a women’s fragrance.
Had it really been a long time since he had touch a beautiful woman to produce such a bizarre illusion?
Tang Nazhi had been looking at the sky the whole way. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the previously agreed place with Qi Xia and the others.
The five people ate their meal together. They didn’t know where on earth Qi Xia found a chef, but the five of them had unknowingly received special treatment. The food they had just eaten was far more delicious than the cafeteria’s food.
After their meal, Shen Yanxiao handed a list of medicinal herbs she had prepared in advance over to Qi Xia, asking him to collect those herbs.
Qi Xia looked at the list of medicinal herbs and his eyebrows slightly rose. Although he knew nothing about pharmaceutical, with his insight alone, he could easily determine the value of these medicinal herbs.
“To collect all the herbs on this list, at least millions of gold coins are needed.” Not even mentioning the rest, just the value of the first three precious herbs listed on the list would cost them thousands of gold coins.
“Try to help me out. If you are unable to find the herbs, then I will just think of another way.” Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders. The formula for the Blood Feast Potion couldn’t be leaked. If she let other people help her find and collect the medicinal herbs, she wouldn’t feel at ease.
“I’ll do my best. However, some of these herbs cannot be bought with money.” Qi Xia said.
Shen Yanxiao knitted her brows. She knew these herbs were not easy to get. Yun Qi had said that even Ouyang Huanyu hadn’t succeed getting his hands on all of the herbs in the formula.
“Are these medicinal herbs very important to you?” Qi Xia watched Shen Yanxiao’s reaction before he asked.
Shen Yanxiao nodded her head.
Chapter 254 – Dou Qi Branch (1)
Qi Xia sighed and said: “There are at least more than 20 kinds of herbs in here that you can’t buy on the market. Though I know of several people who have these herbs, most likely they will not sell them. If you really want to get these medicinal herbs on top of the list, I can actually tell you a few ways.”
“What ways?” Shen Yanxiao stared at Qi Xia. She believed that with Qi Xia’s sly-fox ability as a merchant, his network had more or less surpassed what she could imagine.
“First, you can go to the Black City and find those people from mercenary corps as they often have some precious medicinal materials for sale. But of course, their price is very high. Second, on the northern side of the Long Xuan Empire, there’s the Golden Palace Hall which has a lot of the herbs you need. Third, the Divine Wind Alliance.”
Except for the Black City, Shen Yanxiao wouldn’t be able to go to the other two places for now. Gathering all the medicinal herbs proved to be difficult.
“Is there no other way?” Tang Nazhi slightly frowned. Things in the Black City weren’t difficult to get. However, the Golden Palace Hall and the Divine Wind Alliance were certainly a problem.
Qi Xia pondered for a moment before he said: “There’s another method to get some medicinal herbs.”
“What is it?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
“Every month, a competition is being held in your Pharmaceutical Branch, and the winner will have the permission to get one kind of precious medicinal herbs from the school’s Pharmaceutical Storehouse. But I don’t know much about the Pharmaceutical Storehouse of Holy Roland School. I don’t know how many of the herbs you need are being stored in there.”
Each branch of Holy Roland School would have a corresponding competition to promote the student’s enthusiasm for learning. The prize for the competition in the Pharmaceutical Branch was necessarily related to pharmacy. Last semester, Shangguan Xiao had won the first five consecutive months and obtained a lot of good stuff from the Holy Roland School’s Pharmaceutical Storehouse.
Shen Yanxiao’s eyes lit up. Nevermind the prize of the competition, what attracted Shen Yanxiao more was the storehouse itself.
[TL Sky: May the storehouse rest in peace.]
“Cough, don’t tell me you want to go to the storehouse and ‘collect’ things?” Qi Xia immediately guessed the idea in Shen Yanxiao’s mind. He had seen the level of this little girl’s stealing skills.
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows.
“Why not?”
Qi Xia facepalmed.
“Although your strength is strong, I still don’t recommend going to the Pharmaceutical Storehouse. It’s one of the core areas of the Holy Roland School which is being guarded by at least 10 mentors of each branches. No one knows how many defensive spells and traps have been laid in there. It’s hard to say what kind of danger you will run into if you go.” Holy Roland School didn’t lack Magicians the most. In order to ensure the safety of the school’s resources, Ouyang Huanyu, even without much effort, had set up a lot of magical defenses in every important area of Holy Roland School.
Shen Yanxiao’s strength was indeed strong, however it would still be hard to avoid the magical defenses with her current abilities.
“I suggest that you start with the pharmacists’ competition, and wait for your strength to rise before going to the storehouse.” Qi Xia was worried that if Shen Yanxiao would rashly go to the Pharmaceutical Storehouse, there would be an unexpected accident. Even though Shen Yanxiao possessed the strength of dual cultivation, she wasn’t very familiar with the Magician’s skills.
“If your Archer or Warlock’s strength has reached the Advanced level, perhaps you could try and challenge it.” Qi Xia said.
Shen Yanxiao touched her chin. According to Yun Qi’s judgment, her current level as a Warlock was only in the intermediate. If she wanted to reach the Advanced level, she still needed a long time. As for her Archer’s strength… she was not sure what her current rank was. It seemed that she had to find a time to examine it before she could make a plan again.
Chapter 255 – Dou Qi Branch (2)
“Speaking about it, this month’s competition is just a few days ahead, are you going to join? ” Tang Nazhi asked. He was very confident with Shen Yanxiao’s pharmaceutical skills.
Shen Yanxiao nodded.
“Actually, as for the herbs, I may be able to help you a little.” Yan Yu opened his mouth after a moment of careful thinking: “The medical skills of the White Tiger Clan receive high praises. There are also a lot of stuffs inside our family’s medical storeroom. Only, the part that I can access for now is not big. But I can help you look if there are medicinal herbs you need and then I will find a way to get it.”
“Thanks alot.” Shen Yanxiao flashed a smile while thanking him. With such strong partners, what was there for her to worry about?
Shan Yanxiao made up her mind to win the pharmacist’s competition, thus she put more effort studying their pharmaceutical lessons.
In the afternoon, she put on her face-changing mask and returned to the Archer Branch to continue her study in the archer class.
The mentor of the Archer Branch showed a great welcome for Shen Yanxiao’s return. Because Shen Yanxiao had been hiding her identity, her disappearance in the Archer Branch had brought an endless headache to the mentors of the Archer Branch. Even Xie Yun had been anxious for a couple of days.
Once the kid disappeared, they wouldn’t even know where to start looking for him.
Shen Yanxiao had returned to class that afternoon. Xie Yun had immediately summoned Shen Yanxiao and he was relieved to learned that Shen Yanxiao was absent for a few days because she was ill.
He didn’t want for such a highly talented student to be missing inexplicably out of the blue.
“Mentor Xie Yun, I have something to ask you for help.” Shen Yanxiao recalled her prior thoughts and said.
“What’s the matter?” For this student, Xie Yun had great expectations.
Shen Yanxiao replied: “It has been quite a while since I came to the Archer Branch but I still don’t know what my current rank as an Archer is. I wonder if mentor can lend me a hand in this matter.”
Xie Yun nodded. “I can. However, the testing stones of the Archer Branch has been borrowed by the Dou Qi Branch. Anyway, your body has just suffered from an illness. You can take a break for now. Later, since I would also need to take a trip to the Dou Qi Branch, I’ll just bring you along with me and then you can test your strength there.”
The Holy Roland School’s Dou Qi Branch and Magic Branch were not located inside the Holy Roland School. Even so, the distance was not very far.
Shen Yanxiao pondered. Seemingly, Shen Jiawei, that brat was now in the Dou Qi Branch of the Holy Roland School.
“Understood.” Shen Yanxiao slightly hooked up her lips. She might encounter Shen Jiawei in there.
Anyway, even if she saw him, he would never recognize her.
Having personally requested by Xie Yun, the mentor couldn’t decline and keep Shen Yanxiao in his class. So, in front of all the students in the purple class, Xie Yun took Shen Yanxiao out of the class.
And such action had instantly caused the purple class to burst into noises.
“Where is the mentor taking Xiao Yan?” The students of the purple class all looked at the small figure as he left the room, doubting if their eyesight was seeing right.
“Why do I feel that mentor Xie Yun is being too good towards Xiao Yan?” Another student swallowed his saliva. In the Archer Branch, Xie Yun was the highest symbol, and getting the recognition of Xie Yun was everyone’s dream.
Just a few words of compliment from Xie Yun to Wan Li before was already enough to attract the envy of many students.
When they looked at this student named Xiao Yan, they remembered how Xie Yun would always visit their class to look for him in those days of his absence. And today, when this genius had just appeared, Xie Yun had even personally took him away.
Chapter 256 – Dou Qi Branch (3)
What’s with this difference in treatment?
The purple class students were not fools. That outstanding skills that Shen Yanxiao had showed them in the shooting field before could absolutely crush all of them. Naturally, Xie Yun’s eyes would not let off of such a good seedling.
“What’s strange about that? Or do you think that you can also get the attention of mentor Xie Yun? Save it, unless you have the same skill as Xiao Yan. Otherwise, just behave and listen to the lectures.” A few students were envious, but they were also very clear of how big was the gap between them and Xiao Yan.
They might be students belonging in the same class, however the distance between them and Xiao Yan was like a chasm that couldn’t be crossed.
The Dou Qi Branch and Magic Branch was about half an hour’s walk away from the Holy Roland School. Xie Yun and Shen Yanxiao sat together on an exclusive carriage. The four red-flame horses gallop about wildly, reaching their destination with less than 15 minutes.
The two branches stood aloft side-by-side and they appeared much larger than the branches in the Holy Roland School.
Those students who had not yet broken through the Rank 6 of dou qi and magic were divided into two directions. And the number of people in each of the two branches was naturally much higher than the Magician Branch that was known to have a lot of students.
The courses of the Dou Qi and Magic Branch were different from those of the main branches. They have classes all day, and in the afternoon, they held an actual practice.
Xie Yun led Shen Yanxiao inside the Dou Qi Branch. There wasn’t even a shadow of a student that could be seen in the roads of the entire branch. Shen Yanxiao silently followed behind Xie Yun, walking to the short road. From the empty road, they arrived at an open practice field.
“There are 12 practice fields in the Dou Qi Branch and each site can accommodate thousands of people. And these days, a test on dou qi is being held. Every site has 10 testing stones that the Holy Roland School has lent out.” Xie Yun stood at the entrance of the practice field as he watched the students competing with each others as their practice.
These students were generally around the age of 15. Some of them would soon breakthrough to rank 6 of dou qi and they would transfer from the Dou Qi Branch into the Holy Roland School’s main branch after choosing one of the three profession to cultivate.
Compared with the main branches in the Holy Roland School, the age of the students here were young. Even so, Shen Yanxiao was still younger than them.
And this obviously younger student had already surpassed the rank 6 of dou qi. Not only that but she had also shown a great talent in archery. These students, on the other hand, were still struggling in the Dou Qi Branch.
Who was beneath the other was plainly obvious with just a quick glance.
The mentor in charge of the practice field had soon notice the figure of Xie Yun. The mentor handed his task to his companions then walked over to Xie Yun’s direction afterwards.
“President Xie Yun, what are you doing here?” The mentor smilingly looked at Xie Yun and asked. The mentor was just an ordinary mentor of the Dou Qi Branch, unlike Xie Yun who was the president of a main branch.
Xie Yun responded: “I’m here to send something to the president of the branch. By the way, take this student over here and test his dou qi.”
All the testing stones of the Holy Roland School were lent out to both Dou Qi Branch and Magic Branch. Thus, Xie Yun has the right to demand such thing.
After hearing the words of Xie Yun, only then did the mentor noticed Shen Yanxiao who stood beside him.
Shen Yanxiao’s stature was very petite, her thin shoulders seemed to have no strength to pull a bow, and there was no expression on her small face. No matter how the mentor looked at her, he couldn’t find anything special that could incredibly let Xie Yun personally brought her over.
Chapter 257 – Rank Eight Archer (1)
“This student really wants to enter the Dou Qi Branch?” This little imp in front of him was at least approximately 13 years old. To become a Dou Qi Branch’s student, one needs to be at least 12 years old. Although it’s considered to be a bit late to enter at the age of 13 years old, it wasn’t impossible.
Xie Yun was slightly surprised for a moment. Obviously, this mentor had mistakenly thought that Shen Yanxiao was someone who wish to become a new student of the Dou Qi Branch.
Xie Yun couldn’t help but laugh. Indeed, at Shen Yanxiao’s age, she’s the youngest among all the students in the Archer Branch, it could also be said that one couldn’t find anyone younger than her at the whole Holy Roland School. So, for the mentor to have this kind of misunderstanding was considered to be normal.
“No, he’s already a student of the Archer Branch.” Xie Yun said.
The mentor was surprised, looking at the young Shen Yanxiao. Such a small age and had already broken through to rank 6 and actually became an Archer? What kind of talent was this? No wonder Xie Yun had personally brought over the student.
[Guide Sky: If you remembered, one must first reach rank 6 of dou qi before being able to choose one’s path or Dou Qi profession. Same for magic cultivation.]
“Such an extraordinary small guy.” The mentor exclaimed.
Looking at Shen Yanxiao that was in front of him, he thought about those 14 to 15 years old students who were still struggling to breakthrough from rank 5. That mentor couldn’t help but secretly lamented the gap between this kid before him and those students.
No one could imagine the gap between a talented person and an ordinary person.
Shen Yanxiao touched her nose. Previously, she hadn’t thought a lot regarding her ranking in Dou Qi and Magic. It wasn’t only until she entered the Holy Roland School did she realized that at her current age, all her successful achievement was considered to be very surprising.
“Okay, let’s end it here. Take him and let him take the test. I’ll first go look for Ling Xiao.” Xie Yun then patted Shen Yanxiao’s shoulder. For Shen Yanxiao to receive such a praise, he felt very proud. After all, this child was personally found by him.
After Xie Yun handed Shen Yanxiao to the mentor, he then went to look for the Head of the Dou Qi Branch to handle some affairs.
“You can call me Fang Xi. Stay beside me and follow me to the line.” Fang Xi looked at Shen Yanxiao. When it comes to the outstanding students of the Holy Roland School, he would treat them with more courtesy.
“Okay.” Shen Yanxiao obediently went to Fang Xi’s side and together they went inside the practice field that was crowded with people.
A group of students that was waiting to test their dou qi had noticed the appearance of Shen Yanxiao. They were only one or two years older than her. Their eyes were filled with curiosity as it followed the figure of Shen Yanxiao.
Fang Xi brought Shen Yanxiao to the testing stone, and at that same time, in front of that stone, there was another student that was testing his dou qi.
And whether it was a coincidence or not, unfortunately that student was none other than someone Shen Yanxiao knew!
Shen Jiawei was nervously standing in front of the testing stone. He looked at the direction of Fang Xi with hopeful eyes. Fang Xi gave him a nod to continue. Swallowing his saliva, he put his hands at the testing stone. His last year’s test results was that he was a fourth rank in Dou Qi, hopefully after six months of practice he could finally break through to rank 5.
A faint layer of white light emitted out at the top of the testing stone. Shen Jiawei became more nervous as he continuously watch a new layer overlapping the previous one.
Each layer of white light represented a rank. The test only stopped when five layers of white light had formed atop the testing stone.
Shen Jiawei’s face showed a delightful smile.
“Not bad, to breakthrough a rank within just half a year. If you keep with what you’re doing then with just another year, you would breakthrough to rank 6.” Fang Xi felt satisfied with Shen Jiawei’s result. Shen Jiawei’s talent was quite good; for a fourteen years old to breakthrough to rank 5, it wouldn’t be impossible for him at the age of fifteen to breakthrough to the sixth rank and transfer to the main branch of dou qi profession he wanted.
Shen Jiawei immediately stood upright while the surrounding students started praising him.
Chapter 258 – Rank Eight Archer (2)
He had entered the Dou Qi Branch for merely a year or two. For him to reach this level, it was only natural to not regard his talent as weak.
What happened in the Vermillion Bird’s cave before was a fatal blow to Shen Jiawei. Just by thinking that he, who had reached rank 4 in dou qi had unexpectedly been defeated by the hands of that waste Shen Yanxiao, he would feel very ashamed even until these days. It had really damaged his self-esteem very much.
But so what if that bastard obtained the Vermillion Bird? In the end, she didn’t even have a tinge of magic or dou qi in her body. Although Grandpa had sent her to the Pharmaceutical Branch, who didn’t knew that to become a great pharmacist, one should start absorbing pharmaceutical knowledge at a young age in order to be successful in that profession. There’s no way for that idiot to become a great pharmacist.
On the other hand, he would be able to breakthrough to rank 6 soon. His future was boundless. He didn’t believe that by only depending on the Vermillion Bird, Shen Yanxiao could completely pressed him under her.
The more Shen Jiawei think of his bright future, the more triumphant his looks became.
“Pfft.” A slight laugh suddenly sounded.
Shen Jiawei frowned as he looked for the source of the laughter.
The laughter came from the direction of a young boy. Shen Jiawei knitted his eyebrows. The youth’s head was very small and his body was also very thin. When he stood like that at the side of Fang Xi, everyone could easily ignore his existence.
He dared to laugh at him?
Shen Jiawei immediately snorted coldly.
In his opinion, the other side was clearly younger than him. His strength among his peers that had the same age as him was already considered outstanding, so this little guy was definitely not his opponent.
“What are you laughing at?!” Shen Jiawei exclaimed unhappily.
Shen Yanxiao looked at Shen Jiawei who she hadn’t seen for a couple of months, her eyes flashed a bad glint.
After some time of not seeing him, this boy’s attitude hadn’t change at all.
“Nothing. I just feel like laughing.” Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders. The self-satisfied expression of Shen Jiawei just a moment ago was just too obvious. Just being a mere rank 5 was enough to let him so complacent, how could she not find that funny?
“You…” Shen Jiawei glared at Shen Yanxiao. If it hadn’t been for Fang Xi’s presence, he would have long taught this idiot an ugly lesson.
“I don’t allow any noise here.” Fang Xi’s forehead made a slight frown. He didn’t want for a conflict to arise between his student and an Archer student.
Shen Jiawei secretly clenched his teeth and endured. He decided to remember the appearance of this stinking brat. He would definitely find him in the branch another day and beat him good.
Shen Yanxiao was still smiling silently. She could almost guessed what Shen Jiawei was thinking.
With her current strength, one finger was enough to grind him to death.
“Xiao Yan, you go and test your dou qi first.” Fang Xi was having a headache. Seeing the resentment in Shen Jiawei’s eyes, he felt very helpless. Although Shen Jiawei’s talent was good, but this little guy beside him was an abnormal being who had already broken through the sixth rank and became an Archer at just the age of 13.
Fang Xi wanted to let the test of Shen Yanxiao be over quickly and hand her again to Xie Yun. He didn’t want to see the conflict between Shen Yanxiao and Shen Jiawei to worsen. After all, he wouldn’t like to see his student get beaten by the genius of the Archer Branch due to his ignorance.
“Xiao Yan?” Shen Jiawei secretly frowned the moment he heard the name. This name and Shen Yanxiao, that wastrel, were a bit similar. It made him subconsciously associate him with that idiot.
Chapter 259 – Rank Eight Archer (3)
Shen Yanxiao smiled and walked forward; she doesn’t have the time to accompany this little brat and disturb everyone else.
Standing before the tall stone, Shen Yanxiao’s slender fingers slowly lifted. She slowly spread her palms on the testing stone.
Shen Jiawei was tightly staring at the testing stone, wanting to see how far had this brat achieved in his cultivation.
However, at the moment the testing stone produced a change, Shen Jiawei’s chin hit the ground with a bang sound.
[TL Sky: This is just figurative and not literally. This means that his face currently is…*see the T/L note below.]
The lofty testing stone didn’t emit the same white dou qi, but instead, the stone exuded a shiny red halo.
Red dou qi, that was the symbol of being an Archer!
Shen Jiawei had never thought that this guy who’s younger than him had actually broken through to rank 6 and was now an Archer.
How old was he? Thirteen? Or fourteen years old?
At this young age, he had actually became an Archer!
Shen Jiawei’s expression became distorted, remembering what he had thought about just a moment ago made him feel very embarrassed.
To turn into an Archer, one must at least have the strength of a rank 6 in dou qi. He was still currently in the fifth rank and still needed at least another year to breakthrough to the sixth rank.
He actually wanted to cause trouble to an Archer? This was simply a joke.
The red glow didn’t stop spreading. After the first layer of red light had stabilized, the outer layer of the red halo increased once again.
After choosing a profession, each layer of halo represented the rank of their strength in the chosen profession.
The layers of red light rapidly increased, as if it was never-ending.
The entire practice field became dead silent. Every students had their eyes locked at the dazzling red light.
One layer… Two layers… Three… Four…
As the layer of halo increased, all the surrounding people sucked in a cold breath. Even Fang Xi was on the verge of collapsing when he saw that there was six layers of halo atop the stone.
Six layers of halo, that represented a rank 6 Archer.
An Archer in the sixth rank had already exceeded the level of Probationary Archers and most of Primary Archers, and could almost become an Intermediate Archer in any moment.
A thirteen-year-old Intermediate Archer!!!
Fang Xi felt that he was just dreaming!
However, the dazzling red light that seemed to stop at the sixth layer had actually continued to increase. When the seventh layer of halo began to bloom, at that moment, Fang Xi felt like he was going crazy.
Eventually, the red glow had finally formed eight layers of halo, and only then did it stop spreading out.
But even so, everyone present had been stupefied by the sight of everything.
Rank 8 Archer. It was only one step away from the level of the Senior Archers!
[Guide Sky: Check the cultivation chart.]
Who knew when would this little guy before them be promoted from Intermediate level to Senior Archer.
Senior Archer…
A lot of mentors in the entire Dou Qi Branch were only at the level of Advanced Archer, they’re afraid that it wouldn’t be long before this little demon surpassed his mentors!
Even more frightening was that she was still young.
Fang Xi was completely astonished. It took him a long time before he could recover. Yet, there were still traces of shock in his eyes as he looked tightly at Shen Yanxiao’s figure.
This kid was not a genius, she was simply an aberrant being!
13-year-old Intermediate Archer… if this information would spread out, it was feared that it would scare a lot of people.
At the side, Shen Jiawei’s face was very unsightly, completely different from his original proud look. His self-confidence was crushed into a dust of powder upon seeing the eight layers of red halo formed above the stone.
Just a moment ago, he felt proud of his own strength, yet it all disappeared seeing that this person who’s younger than him was already a rank 8 Archer. This talent, even the known genius of Vermillion Bird Clan’s younger generation -Shen Yifeng, couldn’t be compared.
Chapter 260 – Opening a casino (1)
A rank 8 Archer suddenly appearing in the Dou Qi Branch had immediately caused the group of students to exclaim. All eyes were focused on Shen Yanxiao, and many students began to ask each other if anyone had seen the person before.
“I just heard mentor Fang Xi talking to another mentor a moment ago and the other mentor said that this guy isn’t a student of our Dou Qi Branch, but rather, a student of the Archer Branch.” A student who had lingered at the entrance just a while ago immediately told his companions about the news he had heard.
“He’s really an Archer?” All the students were speechless. The Holy Roland School entrance exam was not at all simple. Even if they had already broken through the rank 6, it still wasn’t guaranteed that everyone would be successful in entering the Holy Roland School.
“He looks a lot smaller than us.” The group of students stared at Shen Yanxiao, sizing her up from head to toe. They couldn’t imagine that such an unremarkable little fellow was really a genius Archer.
But the fact was in front of them. Even if they didn’t want to believe, they had no choice but to accept the ***** truth.
The curiosity that the Dou Qi Branch’s students have had when they looked at Shen Yanxiao before had been replaced with a fanatical worship. As someone who’s cultivating in dou qi, many of them had set their goal to become an Archer. Shen Yanxiao could almost reach the pinnacle of the Intermediate Archer when she was younger than them; this was the speed at which they could never catch up.
From here on, the name “Xiao Yan” would be branded in the minds of these students.
The students who wanted to become an Archer would make Xiao Yan as their goal.
And such situation was completely out of Shen Yanxiao’s expectation.
Fang Xi deeply sighed before immediately letting other mentors appease the students’ mood. He then took Shen Yanxiao and left the practice field afterwards.
He was anxious to tell Xie Yun the test’s results.
When Xie Yun came back from dealing some affairs with Ling Xiao and heard Fang Xi’s words, he looked at Shen Yanxiao and his face changed from being astonished into a very pleased expression.
His vision was true indeed. Being able to advance from a beginner into an Intermediate Archer within a short span of one month, such talent, even Meng Yijun who was the top of the Archer Branch couldn’t be compared.
“Good boy. Continue to work hard and perhaps six months later, you could get a spot for the Archers to compete in the competition.” Xie Yun patted Shen Yanxiao on the shoulder. He was optimistic about the kid’s future.
Shen Yanxiao naturally knew what Xie Yun was talking about, and that was exactly what she was trying to achieve.
On the way back, Shen Yanxiao quietly initiated a conversation with Xiu.
‘With your current ability, both dou qi and magic can only reach the peak of intermediate level. If you want to reach the top quickly, you must unlock the third layer of the seal.’ Xiu was satisfied with the growth of Shen Yanxiao, but still, the existence of the seal was also a fatal flaw.
Untying two layers of the seal could only let her strength advance to a certain extent. If she would try to promote her level further, the third layer of the seal would suppress her strength. This was simply an unbearable situation.
‘You might as well ask your companions, perhaps they have a way.’ Although he was willing to help Shen Yanxiao more, his present ability wouldn’t let him and was only limited to stay at Shen Yanxiao’s side.
