Chapter 97: Early class dismissal
Ji Hongbin replied indifferently: “Come and explain what I’ve just gone through with the class regarding the characteristics of the ferocious beast Snow woman.”
“Yes. Snow woman was ranked third in the top 10 ferocious beasts ranking and thrived about 20 thousand years ago. It was also hailed as the Ice emperor. In the end, it turned into a Spirit Soul to Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. The Snow woman came from the extreme north of mother planet and cultivated...”
Without any hiccups or hesitation, Lan Xuanyu narrated everything he knew of the Snow woman regardless of its importance.
“..., the Ice Emperor and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion were hailed as the two Ice Emperors and were extremely helpful to Spirit Ice Douluo. That is all.”
Lan Xuanyu spoke for exactly five minutes, explaining every the Snow woman’s every ability clearly.
Satisfied by the answer, Ji Hongbin nodded his head. “Not bad. You’ve listened well. What we just explained was the ferocious beast Snow woman and naturally the Ice emperor. I’m surprised that you are able to remember everything so well just from a single explanation. Or do you have extensive knowledge and interest in spirit beasts?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded his head and replied, “I’ve been interested in them since young.”
Ji Hongbin: “You’ve passed the test and can leave class early. Off you go.”
“Ah?” There was such a thing as leaving class early?
Lan Xuanyu clearly sensed the envious gazes from all around him. Everyone knew that it was no easy feat passing Teacher Ji’s class.
Lan Xuanyu’s five-minute explanation not only included what Ji Hongbin had introduced regarding the Ice Emperor but also accurately touched on the legends of the Ice Emperor, making Ji Hongbin extremely satisfied with him. There were no fabrications and all the information was accurate and provided in the class. Nowadays, there were very few children that were interested in spirit beasts.
It had to be said, Lan Xuanyu’s information would definitely be accurate. It was Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng’s expertise, how could it not be?
Simply as that, Lan Xuanyu was released from class early. Being let off early feels great, Teacher Ji is actually quite easy to get along with.
Ji Hongbin’s teaching method could be said to be extremely simple, to strengthen the memory. He believed that students should memorize everything taught in class. If they failed in the impromptu test, they would be punished.
Being released from the class ahead of schedule left Lan Xuanyu with nothing to do. He headed towards the training grounds and prepared to enter the simulation world.
After going into Soul World for the past few days, he was already familiar with it. Of course, his familiarisation was only restricted to the school’s dedicated region. Before turning 12, they were prohibited from leaving the region.
Lan Xuanyu entered the pod and appeared straight inside the training ground with five soul coins that Qian Lei had given him.
Without anything to do, he decided to take the test and see how long he could endure under the attacks of the lava hounds.
After pondering on a simple battle tactic, Lan Xuanyu paid the soul coin and entered the training ground.
It was his first time attempting the scenario alone. But after experiencing it for so many times, there was no hesitation in his movements. Upon appearing in the arena, he immediately ran in one direction.
The arena had four doors for the spirit beasts to enter. That meant that the 100 10-year lava hounds would charge in from all four directions. Staying at the center was simply waiting to be beaten. As he had entered the test alone, he could only rely on himself.
Blue Silver Grass twirled around both of his hands as the qi within him surged. An ice mist started to pour out from his left hand.
He arrived before a door just as they opened. Lan Xuanyu knelt down without hesitation and smashed his left hand on the ground.
Ice spikes drilled upwards from the ground and into the incoming lava hounds.
After battling the lava hounds previously, Lan Xuanyu discovered that the 10-year lava hounds had low intelligence and only had fighting instincts. Even the 100-year lava hounds were not too intelligent. He deduced that it was because it was just a preliminary test.
To his expectation, the first few lava hounds that pounced outwards were all stabbed to death. Lan Xuanyu suddenly leaped upwards with his right hand in the form of a claw which he used to grab onto the wall of the arena.
Golden patterned Blue Silver Grass flashed around his hook-like fingers. Chunks after chunks of scales appeared as his fingers penetrated through the stone wall like tofu and hung himself.
All while his left hand unleashed a continuous volley of ice awls.
The first few lava hounds that rushed out in chaos collided into each other and died, while the ones behind were shot to death from above. In that few seconds, more than 10 lava hounds died. At the same time, the lava hounds from the other three doors sprinted towards him.
If it was just 10-year lava hounds and if Lan Xuanyu had sufficient Spirit Power, he would have passed the test with such a method. But he could not. It was impossible for him to sustain shooting over 100 ice awls with his 14th rank Spirit Power, and there were even the 100-year lava hounds.
So his plan was to utilize his right hand as the main focus instead of the left.
He had lost support without Qian Lei and Liu Feng but at the same time, he was less encumbered. Only by being alone was he able to bring out his dominance with his own footwork.
Taking the opportunity whereby the lava hounds from the other three gates had yet to arrive, Lan Xuanyu dropped down from the wall and landed on the last lava hound from the gate beneath him. He punched down with his right fist and instantly broke into the lava hound’s waist.
Dog-type and wolf-type spirit beasts were the same, they all had tough skulls and bones but were weak at their waists. Lan Xuanyu suddenly recalled Ji Hongbin’s discussion with spirit beasts and thus wanted to test on it.
To his expectation, the 10-year lava hound howled and fell limp to the ground. Their waist was the crucial point.
Before the 10-year lava hounds at the front were able to react, Lan Xuanyu was already rushing towards them. He unleashed another two punches straight into the waists of two other lava hounds and toppling them to the ground before running away.
All the precious ingredients consumed by him were not gone to waste. In terms of the quality of his physique, Lan Xuanyu was definitely an ace compared to his peers.
He took down more than 10 lava hounds consecutively in the sprint. But he knew he could not stop. There were many more running towards him from all directions, and there were the 100-year lava hounds waiting for him.
His sprint had attracted many more 10-year lava hounds towards him. Lan Xuanyu did not stop. Although he could not compare to the lava hounds in terms of speed, he had a plan!
He occasionally swung out his left hand and summoned ice spikes from the ground. The lava hounds at the front would instantly howl out in pain.
After all, he was in a simulated world where the lava hounds were only programmed to kill. So they chased on relentlessly, unafraid of death.
The three 100-year lava hounds finally appeared. They appeared from different gates.
Noticing their appearance, a faint smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s lips. He suddenly turned and rushed towards the pack of lava hounds behind him.
This was where all his experience in the previous runs finally displayed itself. The first thing the three 100-year lava hounds would do upon appearing was... to spit fireballs!
And it would not change this time. Three fireballs flew towards Lan Xuanyu from different angles. At this time, Lan Xuanyu was already caught within the pack of lava hounds.
His eyes beamed extremely clearly. At this moment, Lan Xuanyu felt that his mind had suddenly turned crystal clear, as though all the 10-year lava hounds around him were extremely slow. He flickered left and right as his speed rocketed suddenly, cutting into the pack of lava hounds like a demon. He flitted across between the crevices of the lava hounds.
It was his first time attempting such a battle; Faced against the demonic and robust 10-year lava hounds that were right in front of him, they emitted a bad stench and blazing heat. So close that they were just within reach.
