"Caroline, your luck doesn't seem to be very good!"
Shiva's emerald tiger eyes were filled with gloating.
The number rolled is 5, which corresponds to the 7th-level "Stunning Badge".
boom!!
There was a flash of golden light, and Caroline was shocked and her mind went blank.
Swish!
Shiva flashed and teleported in front of Caroline.
The sharp tiger claws clasped the spider queen's white and slender neck.
With a little force, he could crush her throat.
"Teacher Shiva!"
Outside the court, Allen's shout was suddenly heard.
Baihu Wuzun turned his head to meet his gaze.
The sullen green tiger eyes gradually softened, revealing a hint of helplessness.
On the other side of the yard, the sisters Spenza and Spanna surrounded Mr. Mirei, repeatedly admitting defeat on behalf of their mother and begging him to end the fight immediately!
"Huh! How boring!"
Master Shiva retracted his claws and returned to the sidelines with a gloomy face.
Although she defeated her arch-enemy, her victory was not satisfying!
In today's battle, she admitted that she took advantage of luck.
If the "guessing badge" is not powerful, the ending may be very different.
What's more, she didn't defeat Caroline entirely on her own.
If Alan had not added a petrifying antidote to the wine in advance, he might not have been able to withstand the petrifying effects of the "Scarlet Death Ray".
What bothered her most was... the scandal that Caroline had revealed.
Did this boy Alan ever sleep with Caroline?
This question lingered in Shiva's mind.
It made her feel uneasy!
Finally, she couldn't stand the torment anymore and called Alan to a secluded place to ask him face to face.
"Tell me honestly, have you ever done that kind of ugly thing with Caroline?"
"Of course not! Teacher, if you don't believe me, let's invite Ms. Caroline over and confront her face to face!" Alan said seriously.
"Forget it, it's good that there is no..."
Shiva waved his hands and pretended to be calm.
In fact, I still can't let it go.
Even if Alan was telling the truth, it only proved that he had temporarily resisted Caroline's temptation.
As for whether I will be tricked into bed by a female spider in the future?
Shiva doesn't dare to make an optimistic prediction.
What made her even more uneasy was that Caroline revealed the inner trouble that she had been trying to hide.
My feelings for Allen seemed to have gone beyond the boundaries between teacher and student and were sliding towards a direction that violated secular ethics.
Although this was not a big mistake, Shiva was unwilling to admit it.
Otherwise, how can teachers maintain their dignity in front of students?
However, suppressing this emotion did not completely stop her from thinking about it.
Just like a volcano, the longer it is suppressed, the more violent the eruption will be, and the more uncontrollable it will be.
The wild desires within her were so frightening that even she herself didn't know how to deal with them.
When Shiva was lost in thought, Alan came back.
"Teacher, Mr. Mi Rui wants to see us to confirm the trial rankings and the prizes."
"Yes...I understand."
Shiva nodded nervously, turned around and followed him.
…
"Shiva, you defeated Caroline who is also in the early seventh stage."
"Alan, you challenged Phoebus and won in the end."
"Both of you have performed very well. Who is more qualified to be ranked first in the assessment? It's hard for me to make a choice."
Mr. Mi Rui looked at Alan and Shiva, and his smile seemed a little malicious.
"So, I want you two to compete openly, and the winner will receive the first place in the assessment reward."
"No need to compete!" Alan said without hesitation, "I give up!"
"What do you mean?"
Shiva glanced at him with an unfriendly look.
"You are the teacher and I am the student. I dare not offend you. What's more... I really can't beat you!"
Alan told the truth.
“Riddle Badge” and the like… too weird!
If you guess the 9-ring badge, you will be killed instantly!
He doesn't want to gamble his life!
Shiva snorted coldly, stared at him and asked: "I am the teacher and you are the student. Students should listen to their teachers, right?"
"Of course!" Alan nodded.
"Very good, I order you to take first place. If you dare not obey, I will no longer recognize you as my student!"
"this……"
Alan had no choice but to obey.
"Tsk tsk! The relationship between you two, master and disciple, is really enviable."
The housekeeper, Mi Rui, wanted to instigate a fight between Allen and Shiva.
The result was not what he wanted, and his words were somewhat sarcastic.
Shiva also had a guilty conscience. From the housekeeper's unintentional words, he associated it with Caroline's ridicule of him for having improper thoughts about his students.
Could it be that my feelings for Allen are clearly seen by others, and I am the only one who is still pretending to be a role model?
This thought made Baihu Wuzun's cheeks turn red.
Fortunately, he was in animal form now, and his big furry cat face did not show any blush.
Alan received the reward for first place in the assessment from the butler.
There are 11 medicines neatly stacked in the exquisite box.
A level 3 anti-aging agent that can extend your life by a hundred years.
A complete set of "Origin Meditation" awakening agents, 9 in total.
The "Origin Meditation Method" is average in practice efficiency, not as good as the "Soul-Calming Meditation Method" created by Allen.
The advantage lies in the complete system, which covers all levels from 1 to 9.
It can be used as a fusion material when upgrading the "Soul-Calming Meditation" in the future.
Finally, there is a "divide the mystic art" awakening agent.
When casting a spell, use the "secret art of dividing your mind" to divide your attention and focus on two spells at the same time.
When meditating, with the help of this technique, one can even split one's own consciousness into two and fuse the two ancestral spirits at the same time, which can theoretically double the efficiency of meditation.
However, this form of meditation also comes with greater risks.
If you are not careful, your mind will get out of control, and the split consciousness will not be able to be reintegrated, and you will become a schizophrenic lunatic!
As Alan checked the rewards, he was still thinking.
The secret methods of practice can be shared with Teacher Shiva through group meditation.
The third-level anti-aging agent, I analyzed the formula and made it myself, and of course, Teacher Shiva also needed a portion.
Calculating it this way, it doesn't make any difference who gets first place between me and Teacher Shiva.
Recovering his thoughts, Alan ejected the bone spur from his palm and drew a drop from each of the eleven medicines for analysis.
Use its own venom glands to analyze the formulas of various medicines.
By the way, five special ingredients were harvested from the potion.
A total of 20 potential points were gained!
Plus 1 point of physique, 1 point of agility, and 3 points of spirit!
…
Current attributes: physique 99, agility 73, spirit 96
Current resistance: Immune to electric shock/aging, virus level 8/sound wave level 7/cold level 7/acid level 7/fire resistance level 7/corrosion level 7/radiance level 5
Potential reserve: 74 points
…
All the test takers who completed the assessment, a total of 39 people, were qualified to enter the Origin City.
According to the assessment ranking, each person will receive a share of cultivation resources.
Including attribute magic stones corresponding to one's own bloodline compatibility, and the "Origin Meditation Method" of the same rank as one's own.
And...the duration of training in the "Riverside Cottage"!
Alan received thunder magic stones and electric magic stones, each worth one thousand.
Sky Behemoth belongs to the thunder type, while Golden Titan tends to be electric type.
He already had the complete set of Origin Meditation Method, so he didn't want it.
Finally, I received a small enchanted wooden token from the butler.
The wooden sign is the key to entering the "Riverside Cabin". In addition to Alan's name, there is also a number 40 engraved on it, representing that his training duration is 40 weeks (280 days).
The trial participants were very excited to learn that one day of training in the riverside cottage was equivalent to 10 days in Origin City and equivalent to one month of training in the Warlock World.
Except for Allen who is ranked first.
The riverside cottage, which he had been to twice before, was not worth making a fuss about.
Compared to staying in the house to practice, he yearned more for the starry sky and the long river outside.
Shiva, who ranked second in the assessment, practiced for 39 weeks.
Caroline, who ranked third, practiced for 38 weeks.
And so on, in descending order of ranking.
Lydia, who ranked last among all the trial participants, could only practice in the "Riverside Cottage" for two weeks.
After using up all the time for practice, if you want to enter the hut to practice again, there are usually two ways.
Either spend a lot of magic stones, or other equivalent resources, to purchase time.
Or accept the commission of the City of Origin and complete various tasks. The task rewards often include a certain amount of training time.
Upon learning that the meditation efficiency in the hut was ten times that of Origin City, the trial participants immediately became excited!
"Mr. Mirui, how do I get into the riverside cabin?"
Feilin couldn't wait to ask the butler.
"Well, don't worry about this."
The butler kept the secret with a smile.
"It's the riverside cottage, not in Origin City."
"You just finished the trials and assessments. You all must be homesick, right?"
"I'll give you a month off, go home to visit your family and friends, and have a good rest."
"Come back to Origin City on time at the beginning of next month, and I will take you to where the riverside cabin is."
"Once you get there, you will be able to step out of your home, arrive at the real City of Origin, and come into contact with the real world."
"When an eagle has seen the vast sky, how can it be willing to curl up in a small nest for the rest of its life?"
"Take this step and you will say goodbye to this earthly world."
"Spend more time with your family while the ties of family ties are still there."
Most people only understood half of what the housekeeper said.
Only Alan had been to the "Riverside Cabin" a long time ago.
He even walked out of the house and witnessed with his own eyes the bloodline galaxy that carried the souls of billions of ancestors under the sky of the starry world.
So he was most deeply touched by Mr. Mi Rui's words.
"Mr. Miri, I have a question."
Among the trial participants, someone suddenly raised his hand.
The housekeeper turned his head and nodded with a smile: "Ms. Lida, do you have any questions?"
"I want to know...is it too late to quit now?"
Lida's expression showed her inner struggle.
Her test ranking was last, and her self-esteem and confidence were severely hit.
I have to admit that among this group of geniuses, I am just a mediocre runner-up.
After Phoebus' death, she lost her backer and was not very popular in the trial circle. No matter how hard she tried, she could not escape the fate of being the last one in the trial circle if she stayed in Origin City.
Instead of this, it is better to quit Origin City and return to the Warlock World.
With his fifth-level strength and the various training resources he obtained in Origin City, he will definitely be valued by the family and may even have a chance to compete for the position of family head!
It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.
Compared to taking unpredictable risks to pursue the stars and the sea, retreating to your comfort zone is also a practical attitude towards life.
Among the lower-ranked trialists, Lida is not the only one who has this mentality .
Under the gaze of everyone, Mr. Mi Rui sighed regretfully.
"If you really want to quit, it's not impossible."
"But there are two conditions."
"First, give up the cultivation resources you obtained in the assessment. As for the resources you exchanged in the trial before, you can keep them."
"Secondly, your cultivation level cannot exceed the early sixth stage. Otherwise, if I let you go back into the fish pond, it would be too unfair to the other fish."
The word "trash fish" is very harsh.
But everyone had to admit that after being enlightened in the City of Origin, looking back at the so-called major families in the world of warlocks, they were nothing but a group of frogs in the well.
Lida breathed a sigh of relief.
The two conditions set by the housekeeper were not harsh.
She was willing to give up the trial reward and go home to be a frog in a well.
Even though she once jumped out of the well and saw the vast fields and sky.
Especially when the butler hinted that Origin City was nothing.
The world outside the city is vaster, more exciting, and more dangerous than the world inside.
Faced with all this unknown, some people will feel excited and curious, while others will inevitably back off.
Lydia belongs to the latter category.
She was afraid and didn't want to see anything beyond her own vision.
I would rather close my eyes, cover my ears, and pretend that the bottom of the well is the whole world.
Spend the rest of your life in a peaceful and stable environment that you are familiar with and can control.
After Lida, no one asked any questions.
Mr. Miri announced that the trial participants could go home.
Alan was in no hurry to leave and secretly sent a letter to Fengyue.
Then go find Mr. Mi Rui and buy the medicinal materials for refining the 3rd-level "Anti-Aging Agent " and "Mystic Magic Awakening Agent".
Most of the medicinal materials are available for sale here.
If you can’t buy it, you can only try to collect it yourself or use other medicinal herbs as a substitute.
Alan still has a lot of attributeless magic stones in his hand, which cannot be used for meditation and can only be used as money.
I simply bought three super magic awakening potions from the butler, one with increased range, one with extreme effect, and one with instant effect.
…
Extended Range Magic: Spend an additional 2 magic points to double the range of spells/magic skills.
Extremely effective super magic: Spend an extra 6 magic points to double the power of spells/magic skills.
Instant Super Magic: Spend an additional 8 magic points, spells/magic martial arts are exempt from spells and gestures, and are activated instantly.
…
One hundred days in Origin City means only ten days in Warlock World.
Alan took his sister and junior sister home to visit relatives.
After being away for just ten days, of course there weren't many changes at home.
Everything is going on as usual in the town, which is becoming more and more prosperous.
My parents are in good health. They are busy with the affairs of the town government and their own tavern. They live a fulfilling and happy life.
Alan stayed at home for a week and became increasingly bored.
This peaceful town is so different from the level he is at now that it seems out of place.
Just as Mr. Mi Rui said, young people have seen the vast world outside and can’t wait to go out and explore, so their attachment to their hometown fades.
The next day, Alan said goodbye to his family and returned to Silver Moon Monastery.
He planned to use his free time to make a Level 3 "Anti-Aging Agent" in the monastery's alchemy workshop.
When he couldn't find any medicinal herbs, Allen replaced them with herbs of the same nature.
The results are not satisfactory and we need to continue trial and error.
After a busy day in the pharmacy, Alan dragged his tired body back to his residence.
As usual, Renee made his bed, gave him a bath and rubbed his back, serving him very attentively.
Alan went to bed feeling refreshed.
Hu Niu also sneaked into the bed, under the pretext of warming his feet, and kissed and rubbed him to beg for favor.
After the passion, when the two were hugging each other tenderly, a red ball of light suddenly appeared beside the bed, and the white tiger emblem was shining.
Renee read the letter from Master Shiva and hurriedly got dressed and got up.
"Master has something urgent to talk to me about. Don't wait for me. Just go to sleep."
Kissing Alan on the cheek, Hu Niu left reluctantly.
Late night.
Alan was half asleep when he heard the slight sound of a door opening.
I opened my sleepy eyes and vaguely saw Leni come in.
She turned her back to the bed and took off her dress quietly.
She stood by the bed, hesitated for a long time before lifting the corner of the quilt and quietly crawling into his bed.
Alan moved sideways to give up half of the bed.
Renee hugged his waist from behind and snuggled up to him softly.
Allen yawned and asked her casually, " What does Teacher Shiva want to see you about?"
"Nothing important, just drink with her."
"No wonder you're so drunk, it looks like you've had a lot to drink."
"Hmm... I feel dizzy, I want a kiss..."
Alan turned over, facing her, and they hugged and kissed passionately.
