Chapter 154 - 154: Cheating Again!
.....
...
.
On the next day, Yaya woke Tang Li Xue up early like usual and both of them go to the education building together with Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao.
On this third day, no one was late even Li jing's team also came on time.
Maybe no one dares to come late anymore was more precise since no one dares to check how many credits Instructor Mei Lan would reduce today if they come too late again.
Today's lesson was still the same as yesterday. Instructor Mei Lan still taught them about that spine breaking dance moves.
However, one among them managed to perform that high difficulty dance perfectly today!
Unsurprisingly, that person... or rather that fox was Hei Yinghao.
Tang Li Xue did not feel that surprised either. She already knew since the very start that the Fox Sith, Hei Yinghao have very high agility stats so his body was incredibly lithe and flexible.
Moreover, he also probably has an agility boosting-type divine ability that far more advances than Tang Li Xue's [Innate: Agility].
So it was not strange the Fox Sith, Hei Yinghao was the first one to successfully perform that high difficulty dance moves.
Tang Li Xue probably has the highest agility among all the [Common] grade savage beasts but she was still far too lacking compared with all the elite foxes in [Uncommon] grade.
Tang Li Xue and the others even almost dislocated some of their bones many times when they were trying to perform the dance moves.
Instructor Mei Lan's words about today's lesson have ended was like the most beautiful voice in their ear as they all slumped down and lied down onto the cold floor while kept breathing heavily.
Tang Li Xue and the others could only move their body after half an hour has passed and Instructor Mei Lan had already left their class.
But their body was still hurt all over the place and their bones let out the creaking sound every time they moved.
As usual, after their class has ended, they went to the luxurious restaurant to have their lunch on the first floor of the residential building.
"Guys, we can't continue like this! Tomorrow is our last day! We will get punished if we still cannot perform that stupid dance moves by tomorrow!" Tang Li Xue said to them all with a stern tone after she ordered her food.
Unfortunately, her loli body and childish voice completely ruined it and she sounded like a little child that was trying to look like an a.d.u.l.t.
Bing Yi cuddled Tang Li Xue's petite body for a moment but she immediately released Tang Li Xue after she received Yaya's murderous stare.
"Then Little Xue, do you have a way for us to overcome it?" Li Jing asked Tang Li Xue with a worried tone.
"Yes, I have one way. But I have to ask for help from all of you!" Tang Li Xue answered while frowned deeply.
The eyes of Li Jing, Bing Yi, Gan Aomiao, and Huang Hao were shining brighter when they heard Tang Li Xue's words.
"I disagree. There is no point if you manage to perform it by using a trick. That is the same as cheating!" Hei Yinghao tried to argue.
His words only gained many hateful stares from the others including Tang Li Xue.
Hei Yinghao realized his uncaring words offended everyone but he did not care about everyone other than Tang Li Xue. So he tried to comfort Tang Li Xue and apologized to her.
However, Tang Li Xue's next words made him completely dumbfounded.
"Everyone! If you want to perform that stupid dance moves successfully tomorrow, then hold him tightly for me!" Tang Li Xue looked at everyone with a solemn expression then pointed her index finger at Hei Yinghao.
Bing Yi and Huang Hao stood up from their seat and moved so swiftly. Each of them restrained one of Hei Yinghao's arms.
Li Jing also immediately chanted her Buddhist Sutra to restrain Hei Yinghao's movement.
Gan Aomiao activated her mind control type divine ability as her purple eyes shone brighter.
Under everyone's assault, Hei Yinghao could only helplessly submit under it.
"Yinghao, I am really sorry. But we desperately need to sacrifice you so we do not get punished tomorrow! So please forgive me!"?Tang Li Xue stared at Hei Yinghao as if she was pleading to him.
"Little Xue, there is no need for you to say anything anymore. I am willing to do anything for you! Even if you take out my heart from my chest, I will not... ARGH!" Hei Yinghao stared at Tang Li Xue full of sincerity. His words were also very touching.
Unfortunately, Bing Yi did not let him finish it and twisted his right arm violently.
Tang Li Xue borrowed the sharp dagger from the restaurant's kitchen for a moment before returned to their table.
"Uuuh... Little Xue... actually, I am only joking with you. You... you are not really planning to take my heart out from my chest, aren't you?" Hei Yinghao felt his heart went cold when he saw the sharp dagger in Tang Li Xue's hand glinted coldly.
Tang Li Xue giggled at Hei Yinghao as she took out an empty bottle from her space pouch. She looked even more beautiful right now but Hei Yinghao became even more terrified by her behavior.
PUUUUFFFF~~!!!
Tang Li Xue cut Hei Yinghao's wrist and let his blood dripped into the bottle. His wound was so shallow that it closed after a few seconds.
Tang Li Xue felt it was far from enough so she cut it even deeper this time.
After the bottle was filled to the brim with Hei Yinghao's blood, Tang Li Xue smiled with satisfaction and told the others to release Hei Yinghao.
"Little Xue, can his blood help us perform that dance moves tomorrow?" Li Jing asked Tang Li Xue skeptically.
"No, it can't. But I can use it to make a tool to assist us to do those dance moves tomorrow!" Tang Li Xue smiled mysteriously.
"Tool? What kind of tool?" Gan Aomiao asked timidly with her head lowered.
"Hehe... That is a secret! Just pray that I can make it successfully today! Also, don't forget to wait for me in front of my room tomorrow morning!" Tang Li Xue ignored their curious gaze and ate her lunch calmly with Yaya.
Hei Yinghao kept staring at Tang Li Xue with a wronged expression and it made Tang Li Xue felt really uncomfortable.
She apologized to him and even paid for his lunch for today.
After Tang Li Xue and Yaya ate until they were full, they quickly went back to their room.
Tang Li Xue entered her study room and took out all of her inscription tools such as all of her talisman papers, golden [Inscription Pen], and lastly, the bottle filled with the Fox Sith's blood.
Tang Li Xue closed her eyes. She started to search for a suitable rune in her mind.
'Hmm... How about this?'
[Rune of Agility] Effect: Agility +10%.
'Meh... No, this [Rune of Agility]'s effect is too small. I need something more! That dance moves only require our body flexibility. So I had to look for the rune that focused on increasing our flexibility!'
Then Tang Li Xue suddenly opened her eyes as her topaz blue eyes were glittering brightly like a pair of stars.
[Rune of Flexibility] Effect: Body Flexibility +20%, Strength -10%.
'This is it! I have 18 tries to create 5 [Talisman of Flexibility] for me and the others!' Tang Li Xue inhaled deeply as her expression turned solemn.
She raised her focus to the maximum and calmed down her heart.
She dipped her golden [Inscription Pen] onto the bottle filled with the Fox Sith's blood and started to inscribe the [Rune of Flexibility] onto the talisman paper.
POOOFFF~~!!!
The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N?v3l--Biin.
The first try was a failure.
Tang Li Xue did not mind it at all. Her first time to inscribe any new rune was always a failure anyway.
Ding!
[Host successfully inscribed the Talisman of Flexibility +1!]
[Inscriptionist's proficiency has increased!]
Tang Li Xue was stunned completely. She never thought that she would succeed in her second tries.
It usually took three to four tries for her to successfully created one.
'Tsk... As I expect, the [Uncommon] grade demonic beast's blood can enhance my success rate! I should buy [Rare] grade demonic beast's blood if I want to inscribe higher grade runes later.' Tang Li Xue clicked her tongue in amazement.
She took the [Talisman of Flexibility +1] on the table and appraised its effect with her basic [All Knowing Eyes].
[Talisman of Flexibility +1]
[Effect: Body Flexibility +20%, Strength -10% for 15 minutes.]
[+1 Effect: Body Flexibility +7%. Duration +5 minutes.]
"Woah, +27% Body Flexibility! With this talisman, performing that dance moves will be a piece of cake tomorrow! Uwehehehe..." Tang Li Xue licked her pinkish lips and continued to make the [Talisman of Flexibility +1].
Tang Li Xue only managed to create four [Talisman of Flexibility] in 18 tries in the end.
Tang Li Xue would certainly give one of these [Talisman of Flexibility] to Bing Yi since she was from her own team.
It was a pity but someone from Li Jing's team was fated not to get these [Talisman of Flexibility].
One of these four [Talisman of Flexibility] even had the +2 effect.
[Talisman of Flexibility +2]
[Effect: Body Flexibility +20%, Strength -10% for 15 minutes.]
[+1 Effect: Body Flexibility +7%. Duration +5 minutes.]
[+2 Effect: Body Flexibility +15%. Duration +10 minutes.]
Of course, Tang Li Xue would save this [Talisman of Flexibility +2] for herself so she could perform the dance moves better than anyone else tomorrow.
Tang Li Xue stopped making any talisman after she started to feel dizzy. She was even assaulted by the head-splitting headache.
Tang Li Xue stored the four [Talisman of Flexibility] and all the blank talisman papers into her space pouch.
She also threw her golden [Inscription Pen] into her system inventory and took out the [Companion Egg] from it.
This was the third day for her to drip her blood onto the [Companion Egg].
She could feel that her connection with this egg got closer every time she dripped her blood onto it.
She could even feel what this egg wanted to tell her.
'I AM HUNGRY! GIVE ME FOOD LIKE WHAT YOU GIVEN TO ME BEFORE!'
Yes, this was what this damn glutton egg wanted to tell her every time every day!
"What a headache! Do you really think the ancient disk you ate before was some cabbages that you can find easily on the street?!" Tang Li Xue rubbed her forehead with her fingers to ease her headache.
But she still must give something filled with energy for this glutton egg to eat if she wanted this damn egg to hatch!
She did not have that many items like that with her so she hesitated between two things right now, the [Rare] grade beast core she got yesterday or the mid-tier spirit stone she got from the Asura Demon Sect.
Those two items were so useful for her growth that she had a hard time deciding which one to give to the damn egg.
