Chapter 201 – Man And Woman, Out All Nigh (1/2)

TN: Sorry guys, Lin Xiao appears next chapter.

“Eh? What? What happened? Were we ambushed?”

Deep into the night, a short girl awoke from her dreams in terror. The strange thing was, when she thought that they were being attacked, her first instinct wasn’t to fight back or escape, it was to anxiously look for someone in her surroundings.

“I’m over here, Sister Yao Zi!”

In the darkness, Ling Tian responded briefly, but his gaze was towards the distance.

“Phew, as long as you’re here.” Yao Zi breathed out a sigh of relief after finding her brother, then approached him and nervously asked, “Hey, what was that loud noise earlier? I thought we were being ambushed.”

“Not us, there’s a battle over there… it should be two strong teams!”

“Mmm… since it’s other teams fighting, then let’s go back to sleep, I’m so sleepy.” Yao Zi yawned and started lying down to go back to sleep.

“No, you can’t!” Lin Tian quickly pulled her back up, “They’re not too far from here, we should hurry and go over!”

“Eh? Noo, I still want to sleep…”

Yao Zi didn’t want to and tried to push him away, but Ling Tian held her even more firmly and didn’t let go.

“Let’s go!”

“No! Why do you want to go? It’s not like we can beat them…” Yao Zi feebly complained.

“We should go take a look even if we can’t beat them! We might even be able to get lucky!”

Even though they weren’t a strong team, but they could take advantage of the opportunity to make a quick buck!

When strong teams fought, neither were coming out of it unscathed. At that time, when they’re weakened, they could take advantage of that opportunity and pick them off then.

That was their only way of winning!

Ling Tian didn’t want to let go of this opportunity.

“Taking advantage of them?” Yao Zi frowned like she heard something she couldn’t believe, “How could you do something that despicable?”

“This is a competition! There’s no such thing as despicable. As long as we can get points, as long as we can get first place, nothing else matters!” Ling Tian said resolutely.

“But, you….”

Seeing her brother’s resolute expression, something didn’t feel right, but she couldn’t say what exactly it was…

“Stop wasting time and follow me!” Ling Tian pulled Yao Zi’s arm, completely ignoring her will and headed towards that loud sound.

The good thing was that the battle happened nearby, and before long, the four from Bamboo Academy arrived at where the fight took place. What surprised them was that there was no one there.

At first they thought they got the wrong place, but the dimly burning ashes in their surroundings proved that this was the place!

The night was truly dark, the ground full of burning ashes quickly lost its light. Ling Tian just followed his intuition and tried to catch up to them, but the scene was a a complete mess and he couldn’t tell which direction was which.

If he was thorough enough and passed through the shrubs close by, he would see the tragic aftermaths. Not knowing whether to describe them as lucky or unlucky, but their only harvest was a tiny little thing.

“Ling Tian, look at what this is.”

Coincidentally, a teammate found a blue rectangular crystal in the grass.

“This is… a resonance crystal?” Lin Tian was astonished and quickly snatched it from his hand and after carefully confirming it, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What? 96 points!”

The crystal showed 96 points, several times more than what they had.

It had to be a strong team to have this much points! But the crystal was left in the grass, that most likely meant that they already lost.

“Whatever, we’ll think about it after we plunder it!”

Ling Tian didn’t bother worrying about which team this crystal belonged to, but he would be stupid not to take advantage of this opportunity, gathering points were more important than anything else!

With every additional point, their chances of winning goes up.

Ling Tian plundered all the points and now their total already surpassed 100 points, almost catching up to Loran Academy, they even had a chance of coming first!

“Hehe, how lucky.”

Watching the crystal they picked up for free crack while their own crystal exploding past 100 points, Ling Tian was bursting with joy.

But it didn’t just end there.

“Ling Tian, look, what’s this?” His teammate found an old leather map from who knows where.

“This is… a map, right?” Ling Tian took the map and carefully examined it under the limited moonlight and then cried out in shock, “Could this be… a map to the silver vault? That’s it, haha! Awesome!”

Ling Tian laughed crazily and almost passed out from the happiness.

It seems they didn’t come for nothing, not only did they get free points, they also got a map, it seems like they were blessed by the gods! Now their chances of winning greatly increased!

“Hm?” Yao Zi tilted her her head and sniffed around a couple of time, “Why does it reek of blood?”

“Blood?”

“It’s coming from you… eh? The crystal and map…”
