Chapter 164: Qian Lei’s choice

Upon hearing the words, Qian Lei raised his angered face that had tear stains on it and suddenly leaped forward. He grabbed Liu Feng by the lapels and roared, “Have you no conscience? Do you know what I gave up for the two of you? I gave up the early admission opportunity into Shrek Academy! I gave it up, you know? And you say that I did something that let the two of you down. Do you have no conscience or feel any pain?”

Qian Lei used plenty of strength to shake Liu Feng, but both Liu Feng and Lan Xuanyu were stunned in that instant.

They had known each other for three and a half years already. Qian Lei was a fatty, a greedy fatty, the number one fatty in the entire class. He was usually as timid as a rat but had a heart that leaned toward gold and money. Aside from his high spiritual power, there were no other good points about him. If not for Lan Xuanyu, he and Liu Feng might have been eliminated a long time ago.

Neither Lan Xuanyu or Liu Feng would have ever expected that Qian Lei would be able to make such a decision with regards to the large enticement set by Shrek Academy in the short time frame.

Since Qian Lei did not have any personal combat ability, he was pulled away by Liu Feng. “Knock it off, knock it off. Speak clearly first.”

Liu Feng looked at him in surprise. “What exactly happened?”

Qian Lei’s tears continued to fall. “If I were to be admitted early, the two of you would be eliminated! How could I endure such a thing? How could I do that? I would never be here without you guys! And this big bro is an intelligent person! Although my spiritual power is over 400, how could I not know that without Xuanyu, my summons are useless! If I were to enter Shrek Academy alone, I’m sure I’d be kicked out in less than a month. I’m nothing without you guys! I gave it up so that I could continue participating in the following tests with you guys. I gave up the early admittance. I—I—I was so reluctant! I was so torn apart, I’d rather not have had the early admittance!”

After listening to his incoherent explanation, Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng understood the situation.

Although Qian Lei’s ramblings included how he was unreliable without Lan Xuanyu, still, the enticement was from Shrek Academy! How difficult had it been for him to make such a decision?

Liu Feng hugged Qian Lei and said earnestly, “Good brother!”

Lan Xuanyu laughed and clasped both their shoulders with his hands. At this time, his eyes held an unprecedented level of determination. “We will definitely get into Shrek Academy. The three of us, together!”

“End of the qualifier,” an electronic voice came out. WIth a flash of light, the trio disappeared from the desolated valley. When they appeared again, they were at the training grounds entrance at the beginning where they first met Ling Yiyi.

Ling Yiyi was standing there and waiting for them. Upon seeing the trio, she smiled and nodded her head.

Qian Lei still had a disappointed look on his face. He lowered his head, obviously still at a loss with his own pain.

Lan Xuanyu scanned their surroundings, and when he did not see anyone else, he said, “Sister Ling, where are the others?”

“They all left upon reaching the end of the qualifiers. The three of you are the last.”

Liu Feng could not resist asking, “If Qian Lei chose to accept the early admittance, would Xuanyu and I really be eliminated?”

Ling Yiyi smiled but did not reply directly. “Different routes lead to different outcomes. You will understand all of this in the future.”

Qian Lei raised his head and spoke up. “If I had chosen to accept the early admittance and abandon the two of them, would I really have been admitted?”

Ling Yiyi shook her head. “I do not know the answer to that. Only the teachers have the final say in this. But what I can tell you is that your ability is truly unique and there are teachers in the academy that have taken a liking for you.”

Seeing that her lips were sealed, the three gave up trying to pry answers out of her mouth.

“Sister Ling, our results…” Lan Xuanyu inquired.

“There will be an integrated publishing of the qualifier results in all of Tian Luo planet soon. As for the specifics, you can only wait and see.”

Lan Xuanyu was a loss, she truly had her lips sealed! But forget it…

The three ended their journey in the Soul World and regained their consciousness inside the simulated cabins.

Upon coming out of the jelly-like nutrient fluid inside the cabin, an intense fatigue spread throughout Lan Xuanyu’s body.

Although the usage of soul power was not huge, his mind was immensely exhausted. His senses had been stretched taut throughout the whole qualifiers in search of all possible opportunities. Finally, they managed to surmount all difficulties, and he should be able to earn relatively good scores with his two buddies. The instant he relaxed, he felt all the fatigue attack him.

The three climbed out of their cabins, only to realise that the others had not left and were waiting outside. That included Ji Hongbin, Yin Tianfan, and the other teachers.

The teachers only relaxed when seeing their cabins open, expectations in their eyes.

The reason for that was because the three had stayed in Soul World far longer than everyone else. Lu Qianxun’s own team had appeared as far as ten minutes ago. It was unexpected for their team to actually have lasted for so long.

Lu Qianxun looked at Lan Xuanyu with a strange gaze; no one was more curious than him as to why Lan Xuanyu’s team was able to preserve for so long. What exactly happened inside? He had not forgotten about the other Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon that took the initiative to attack them. It was impossible for it to have let Lan Xuanyu and his team go! They should not have survived for so long under that circumstance.

Ji Hongbin took a few quick steps forward and arrived before Lan Xuanyu with an interrogative look in his eyes.

Lan Xuanyu, having failed to pry anything out of Ling Yiyi, did not dare speak further. After all, it was a qualifier that affected all of Tian Luo. No one knew how many talents had participated and how the scoring would turn out. Even Lan Xuanyu himself did not have the certainty.

“Teacher, we should be able to pass, but they did not inform us of the results. They only said that everything will be publicized together,” Lan Xuanyu informed Ji Hongbin.

Ji Hongbin nodded his head and calmed down. From his experience, with its extreme intensity, the qualifiers would not take too long. For Lan Xuanyu’s team to last for so long, Ji Hongbin reckoned that the team should be able to enter the next round.

Yin Tianfan sized Lan Xuanyu up. “I heard from the others that you made a few judgement calls and performed well. You did not let me down. Alright, go back to rest first; the results should be out tomorrow.”

“Yes,” the 21 elite junior class students replied in unison and walked out.

Lan Xuanyu realized that the majority of their faces were rather ugly. For instance, Jin Xiang’s group, which was eliminated by the meteor showers, or the few teams that were instantly eliminated by the fireballs. None of them were able to unleash their own strengths before being wiped out. They knew for sure that their results would not turn out well.

On the contrary, Lu Qianxun, Chang Jianyi, and Ye Lingtong were much calmer. Due to Lan Xuanyu’s helpful reminder, they were able to unleash their own abilities to last for a longer time and even managed to kill plenty of Ground Fire Lizards.

Lu Qianxun took the initiative to walk over and extended his hand out to Lan Xuanyu. “Thanks.”

Lan Xuanyu raised his hand and clasped Lu Qianxun’s hand with his. “It’s nothing. We’re all classmates, and it should be done. A pity that the judgement call was rather late. Otherwise, everyone’s results might be better.”

“After we were out, how did you guys continue for so long? At that time, I thought that your team was out as well.”

He had personally seen Lan Xuanyu’s team disappear inside the rain of fire during the second meteor shower and had no idea how they handled the situation.

Lan Xuanyu did not hide anything as he recounted his thoughts and ideas, the discovery of the strange magma pool, and how they hid inside.
