Chapter 167 – Beauties Carry Thorns (2/2)

That was what Lin Xiao said when they landed, it made sense and everyone believed it, it was sound logic, so everyone agreed.

But one person saw through Lin Xiao’s thoughts, Elena.

There’s no one more suited than him? What a joke.

Why should he be the center? Why can he hide in the backlines providing support and Caesar has to rush up and risk his lives fighting with others?

What’s wrong with Caesar? isn’t he just a bit frank, a bit warlike, why should he be treated as a worker?

The reason he wanted the crystal was because he wanted to slack off, and could hide in the backlines during a fight.

And what’s that about protecting her, she’s just his shield, right… Elena felt uncomfortable, if it wasn’t for him constantly giving her looks, Elena would have exposed him on the spot!

“Hmm, let me see how this works.”

After taking the crystal, he began seriously studying it. That male student ram back to the archer in a fluster and began helping him treat his wounds with Shen DaiYing’s suggestion.

Lin Xiao held his crystal in his left hand and the crystal they just plundered in his right, and tried injecting some magic towards his right hand.

Magic flowed out of his fingertips and the two crystals quickly emitted a faint blue light, and started shaking faster and more frequently.

Soon after, the crystal in his right hand cracked without any warning. A faint blue light of energy seeped through the cracks and was absorbed by the other crystal.

“Oh, oh, the score’s increasing!” Lin Xiao discovered changes to the blue crystal in his left hand along with the absorption of blue energy.

A few white ribbons emerged inside the translucent blue crystal, it slowly circulated inside like a liquid, finally forming a clear number.

“10 points!”

They plundered 10 points, if they collect that silver leaf fruit from earlier, then it’ll be a total of 11 points. 11 points right off the bat, it could be said to be very lucky, but unfortunate for the other team.

They lost their crystal and one member was immobilized, they undoubtedly lost the qualifications to compete and had to leave the island immediately.

Soon after, a small boat approached, it was the boat that was carrying Luren Academy.

“Strange, how did the Luren Academy teacher get here so quickly, how do they know that the team lost?” Shen DaiYing leisurely walked back to Lin Xiao’s side with a smile, as if it wasn’t her who just cut someone’s stomach open.

“It’s probably the effect of the crystal.” Lin Xiao looked at the shattered crystal within his right hand and remembered Woos’ recount.

Other than the small crystal in their hand, there was a huge crystal on the shore of the camp, over a meter tall. All of their hundreds of crystals were recorded on there and they resonated with each other.

If any of the small crystals were plundered, they would shatter into useless stone, and at the same time, the crystal at the camp would resonate and change, so all the teachers from the academy could know what was going on with their teams while standing at the shore.

After knowing of the team’s loss, the teacher would head towards the island with a judge immediately, and quickly pick up the defeated students.

“Teacher, we’re here! Teacher!”

They were unable to understand how a long legged harmless-looking beauty could cut open someone’s stomach.

Since they can’t understand, then they might as well not think about it. They quickly picked up the injured teammate and ran towards the shore, waving their hands and shouting for help.

As soon as the boat arrived, they jumped onboard without saying anything further, like they were escaping with their lives. While they were leaving, they stared at the beauty wearing black silk stockings with trepidation, like they just had a nightmare.

“Sigh… why couldn’t we just get along? Look how bad getting eliminated feels.” Lin Xiao sighed while looking at the departing losers.

He turned around to look at Shen DaiYing and wanted to say something, but after seeing her affectionate eyes, he could only turn his anger towards Caesar.

And so, that was how it all began.

“Caesar, I think we should have a chat.” Lin Xiao gathered everyone for a meeting.
