Chapter 22 (2/2)
The hot spring’s warm healing waters glimmered slightly and emitted a light steam, looking very beautiful. The 5 watched Lin Le swimming around and smiled. His body dived down as his little butt stuck out like a duck.
“Bro, I have a good idea. Next year on the combat test, we take even more instructors and students as hostages and force them to pass us. What do you think?” Zhang ZhengXiong leaned over and asked.
“That’s too easy for them. They must pay the price for kicking us out. You should toughen up. Next time, our targets will be the head instructor and the command center.” Ye Cang said with a cold smile.
Although ThornyRose wasn’t really listening, she heard the keyword combat test. They were student at a city college? “Which of the five schools do you go to?”
“LinHai.” Ye Cang replied.
“LinHai, during the five schools competition, they always rank in the lower half. They’re only a little bit better than ShanLan.” ThornyRose laughed.
“5 Schools competition? What’s that? I feel like I’ve heard of it before…” Ye Cang looked puzzled.
“I’ve heard about it. It’s a competition to decide the rankings of the 5 schools.” Zhang ZhengXiong knew a bit, but not much.
“Fuck! Have some common sense! You don’t even know about the 5 schools competition!? Are you a student of the city college or not!? Every 2 years, the 5 schools meet up to decide their ranking. They send out the best of the best to participate. Elite students among elites!” ThornyRose shouted, feeling stressed. Then with some pride, she thought back to when she was a member of the imperial capital city college’s team. She looked over at FrozenBlood. That’s when the two of them became partners.
FrozenBlood also recalled their times at the city college, and couldn’t believe that it’s already been two years since they graduated. She smiled and looked back at ThornyRose.
“So?” Ye Cang thought for a bit and indifferently replied.
ThornyRose looked at his uncaring, indifferent expression and felt a burst of rage. She didn’t know what to do with this bastard that had no common sense. She was about to shout at him again when she heard Lin Le’s voice. In his hand was a red crystal. “Brother Lil’White! Under the water, I found a hole with a small wooden chest. Inside I found this.”
Bachiya’s Natural Protection Rune: Use to absorb Bachiya Volcano’s heat. Form a protective shield around allies within 10 meters, which absorbs up to 125 points of fire damage. Lasts 10 seconds. (Uses: 1, Can only be used on the Bachiya Volcano.)
ThornyRose saw the effects of the rune and was amazed. 125 fire damage? So much? It was clearly meant for a specific scenario. Now they could be sure that there was still a boss in this volcano, one that had an AOE fire attack. Lin Le was really too lucky. He could even find a hidden item like this.
“You should hold onto it. It’ll probably be useful later.” Ye Cang took the crystal, got up and slowly walked over to ThornyRose to give it to her.
Only after hearing her answer did Ye Cang nod and sit back down to relax like nothing had happened.
FrozenBlood stared shocked. GreenDew’s mouth was hanging open.
Zhang ZhengXiong was full of grief and envy. If he knew, he would have volunteered to hand over the crystal.
ThornyRose finally reacted, her face becoming red. She felt like she wanted to get angry but couldn’t release her rage. Her hands held the crystal tightly and she gnashed her teeth, watching the indifferent Ye Cang. She wanted to pounce over and tear those indifferent cheeks apart. That lowlife! Smelly rogue!
TN: Any idea what she’s mad about? I assume it’s because in the process of walking towards her, he saw her bathe? x.x Confused.
