He was wearing a gray shirt and black slim-fit suit pants today. The marble cloud collar pin that Yu Huang had given him was at the collar of his shirt. He looked handsome and noble.
But no matter how handsome a person was, as long as they carried a pole on their shoulders, they would seem like a bunch of losers.
Sheng Xiao arrived at the foot of the mountain and bumped into Yu Huang.
Lin Feng stood beside the pile of Black Spirit Stones. His job was to distribute Black Spirit Stones to this group of students. Regardless of gender, each person would get two. It was very fair.
He picked two bricks for Yu Huang. When he looked up and saw Sheng Xiao, he said, “Sheng Xiao is here.”
Yu Huang turned around and looked behind her.
Seeing that Sheng Xiao was really here, she blinked at him and turned to Lin Feng. “Director, my husband is a Grand Master. It’s only fair that he carries four bricks.”
Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yu Huang. He was about to say something when Yu Huang said, “If you’re a man, you can’t say no.”
What else could Sheng Xiao say?
Under Lin Feng’s playful gaze, he said in a low voice, “Give me four bricks.”
Lin Feng laughed and specially chose four of the largest bricks to place into the pair of dustpans woven from special materials.
Sheng Xiao’s straight back bent under the weight of the Black Spirit Stone.
The couple climbed up the mountain one after another. Yu Huang walked in front while Sheng Xiao followed behind. The rugged mountain path was not easy to walk on. They were wearing military boots and had to take every step steadily to move forward.
Pupu An stood in the void with a whip in his hand. Anyone who was walking slowly or falling behind would be whipped.
Therefore, even though everyone was so tired that they could not move their feet and their spiritual power was almost exhausted, they had to grit their teeth and continue to hold on. Sheng Xiao carried four thousand pounds. Every muscle in his body was exerting strength. His body looked even more muscular and attractive.
He noticed that Yu Huang was deliberately a few steps behind the team, so he asked her, “Can you walk faster?” If she walked faster, he could end the torture earlier.
Yu Huang seemed not to hear him and walked even slower.
Sheng Xiao realized that Yu Huang was taking revenge. He sighed but was not angry.
When they successfully reached the top of the mountain, the sky was already bright.
Everyone laid on the mountain peak in exhaustion as they received the morning light.
Di Ruofeng floated in front of them like a gust of wind. He chuckled and threw a cloth bag in front of them. “Stand up. You’re not dead yet, but you already want to lie down and enjoy life?”
The students groaned when they heard this, but they could only resign themselves to fate and get up.
Di Ruofeng pointed at the cloth bag and said loudly, “Everyone, line up and get your tools!”
The students lined up and received a… sharp hammer, an interspatial bag, and some water and dry food from the bag.
Yu Huang stared at the hammer in her hand with a rare confused expression.
What was this?
A hammer?
Di Ruofeng continued, “From today onwards, all students will mine ores. You will come out when the bags in your hands are full!” He extended two more fingers and said, “The maximum duration of the mission is two months! Those who fail to complete the mission will be expelled!”
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically when they heard this.
So the Holy Spirit Academy could also expel students.
It seemed that this mining mission was very important. The academy had even canceled the once-a-month beast tide training competition.
Donor turned the small hammer in his hand and asked in confusion, “Principal, where is the mine?”
Di Ruofeng pointed at the mountain north of the Black Dome and said mysteriously, “The entire back mountain is a mine!”
A look of surprise flashed across Yu Huang’s eyes when she heard this.
There was a mine under their feet?
After distributing the mission, Di Ruofeng left. Yu Huang and the others squatted on the ground with small hammers and dug deep. The soil on the top of the mountain was very easy to dig. However, when they dug a meter underground, the stones under the soil became indestructible.
Yu Huang struck it with her hammer. Not only did the gray stone not shatter, but there was not even a crack.
Huh?
Yu Huang poured her spirit energy into the hammer and struck it again. This time, a thin crack finally appeared on the stone. When the crack appeared, black poisonous gas also seeped out through the crack.
From the looks of it, this ore could only be taken with spiritual power.
