Hearing Huo Li Ruo say that there were spiritual plants on Shui Wu Island, the eyes of everyone around him instantly brightened.
At the Royal Academy, one could unconditionally contract a single spiritual plant. If one wanted to make a contract later, they needed to complete missions or contribute to the Academy before they could continue to contract a second plant.
The advanced-level spiritual plants in the Royal Academy had been in captivity. Many spiritual plants had lost their proud and vigorous spirituality, and only very few were difficult to tame, like the Demon Emperor Herb that Yu Qing Qian formed a contract with.
It was generally difficult to encounter spiritual plants in the wild. Even the lowest level ones were very rare. Since Shui Wu Island was so mysterious, there may be advanced-level spiritual plants appearing. How could it not make one excited.
“The Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy had only explored it for five years. Shui Wu Island is so mysterious and even has spiritual plants appearing, which also means that the danger is greater, so don’t take it lightly when the time comes.” Yu Qing Qian noticed the expressions of excitement and hot-bloodedness, so she reminded.
From a distance, Shui Wu Island gave her a sense of mystery and danger, like it was enveloped with a veil. The greater the opportunity, also actually meant the greater the danger. She didn’t want to lose any teammates after the comprehensive test.
Yu Qing Qian’s words gave the group who were still filled with enthusiasm a blow to the head. They came back to their senses instantly and didn’t become lost in the fantasy of forming a contract with an advanced-level spiritual plant.
“Qing Qian’s right. Although Shui Wu Island has been developed, but the centre of the island is very mysterious and dangerous. I heard that there’s also Spirit Emperor magical beasts and demonic plants lurking.” Huo Li Ruo added: “I wonder why the Holy Academy and Imperial Academy would set the comprehensive test site here.”
Huo Li Ruo’s words seemed to pour cold water on everyone. If a Spirit Emperor level magical beast or demonic plant really appeared, then there would be no possibility for them to escape. After all, the difference in strength was too big.
“Since the Holy Academy and Imperial Academy designated Shui Wu Island as the comprehensive test site, then there must have their reasons. Otherwise, if too many students die, then it’d be impossible for the major Royal Academies to agree to it too.” Yu Qing Qian said.
“Right. Let’s not worry about this for now. The most important thing is to survive.” Mu’rong Qing said in agreement.
“Mm, not only must we survive, but we must also strive to win first place. That’s an opportunity to enter the eyes of the higher-ups of the Holy Academy.” Yu Qing Qian smiled confidently and domineeringly: “If we really meet spiritual plants or treasures, unless it’s a situation where we’re destined to die, then we can still go contend for it.”
“Yes, this is our time to shine.” Gong Hao said eagerly.
The group rekindled their fighting spirit. Since entering the Royal Academy, in addition to improving their strength, they also pursued the goal of one day entering the Holy Academy or Imperial Academy where geniuses gathered to cultivate.
The big ship landed in the water, and layers of sparkling waves rippled in the lake. The current pushed the big ship towards the island at a very fast speed.
About four hours later, the big ship finally docked. Right now, many people had gathered on the shore, all of them students from the major Academies.
“Old Shu, you’re all finally here!” An elderly man with a rather ‘wealthy1’ appearance and a simple and honest smile waved to Shu Jiang.
Seeing the wealthy-looking elderly man, there was also a smile on Shu Jiang’s face, “Old man Zhu, you lot sure arrived early!”
Shu Jiang was the first to jump off the board and greeted the several Spirit Emperors he knew. The other Department Leaders and instructors organised the students to alight the boat.
When everyone stood on the shore, the big ship immediately shrank to the size of a palm and was put away by Shu Jiang.
As soon as Yu Qing Qian landed on the shore, she felt a vague gaze falling on her. When she looked up, she found that person was actually Leng Ling Shuang.
1in Chinese, to be polite, especially when describing people, they would say ‘wealthy’ instead of ‘fat’. They have a ‘wealthy’ appearance, I guess since if one’s fat, it usually means that they’re rich as they can eat to their full, while skinnier people would mean they were of the working class. I mean, in real life, if we’re talking about historically accurate ‘beauties’ of ancient China, such as the Four Beauties of China, some were actually chubby and what modern day people may even call ‘fat’. Guess we’re just living in the wrong era HAHAHA. Beauty standards were different then XD
