Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 157 Tianxi Mountain

A ray of early morning sunlight just shone into the forest. Ye Qi and the others had been busy running around all night and finally arrived here at dawn!

Listening to the roar of the giant beast on the top of the mountain, he knew that it was impossible for one or two people to subdue such a huge creature. He looked at the eye-catching level number on the green jade tablet in his hand.

Ye Qi knew that he had wasted too much time before, and the points of those outstanding people were far ahead of him. He must defeat this giant beast next, otherwise even if he met Shu'er, it would be meaningless. After all, the most important purpose of this trip was to enter Qiankun Academy!

"Miss Mu..."

"Stop saying useless polite words. I don't need you to owe me any favors!"

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Mu Qingyao guessed what he was thinking. Who among those who came here from afar had not been coveting the admission spot to Qiankun Academy for a long time?

But what she didn't know was that Ye Qi already had the qualifications to enter Qiankun Academy, but now he was fighting for it for others!

Ye Qi saw the hint of impatience on Mu Qingyao's face and guessed what she was thinking. She must have misunderstood him. When she turned around, he grabbed her arm, stopped her and said, "I want to say that your body is almost reaching its limit. You must not use the power brought by the insect again!"

"Isn't it annoying that you keep nagging in my ears every day?" Mu Qingyao shook off his arm and said with a gloomy face.

Ever since the bug invaded my heart, I could clearly feel that my emotions were out of control more than before. Every time I said something that was influenced by my emotions, I would only realize it belatedly after I calmed down.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were somewhat erratic and she dared not look directly at him. Fortunately, the purple veil on her eyes protected her vulnerability at the moment. However, she still said with some guilt, "Sorry!"

Ye Qi was used to her mood changes and didn't take it to heart. He caught up with her with a faint smile and headed towards the top of the mountain together!

"Stop! Please show me your Jade Tablet level!"

Just as the two were climbing the mountain, a middle-aged man suddenly blocked their way. Judging from his age, he was definitely not a student participating in the trial, but someone arranged by Qiankun Academy.

"Do we need to show the Green Jade Stele at Tianxi Mountain?" Ye Qi asked curiously, thinking that mountain climbing would still require points to be deducted like the previous stronghold competition.

"There are three ferocious beasts here. For the safety of the contestants, all climbers must reach a score level of five or above on the green jade tablet!" explained the middle-aged man.

Ye Qi took out his green jade tablet and looked at the number four written on it. He suddenly looked embarrassed. He had been here for so long, but he was only at level four. It was really embarrassing. He had also spent a lot of money to treat people to meals at the gathering point and bought a lot of useless things. He really regretted it!

Just when Ye Qi was about to take back the green jade tablet and give up entering Tianxi Mountain, he suddenly saw a white jade hand holding a green jade tablet and placed it next to his palm. Then he saw the number four on his green jade tablet gradually emit light, and then jumped to level five!

Even the middle-aged man guarding the entrance of Tianxi Mountain smiled when he saw Ye Qi, who was living off his wife. He had seen many scenes of heroes saving beauties, but this was the first time he saw a beauty saving a weakling. Points at this level could not be easily accumulated, otherwise, with Mu Qingyao's strength, it was impossible for him to be only at level seven!

No, after giving Ye Qi one level, he has dropped to level six. This is a world of difference. Level seven may be considered rare, but level six is a dime a dozen. After all, the trial ground has been open for many days, even one level a day is enough to reach it. However, the most difficult thing here is not to accumulate points to upgrade, but how to keep the points in your hands from being snatched away!

"I'm not giving it to you for free. If your level still can't meet the qualifications for entering Qiankun Academy, then you should return all these useless points to me as interest!"

Ye Qi smiled awkwardly, and under the gaze of the middle-aged man, he showed the rank he had earned by living off his wife, and passed through the mountain gate unimpeded. He continued to follow Mu Qingyao's footsteps and stepped onto the last stone staircase to the top of the mountain.

"Please stay, both of you. Which of these three beasts would you choose to challenge?"

"Three ferocious beasts?"

Seeing Ye Qi's clueless expression, the man patiently explained, "The three beasts are the Scarlet Flame Golden Snake, the Frost Dragon, and the Chaos Black Bear! Successfully challenging the first two will earn you a one-level point increase, while successfully challenging the latter will directly increase you three levels!"

Ye Qi immediately turned to look at Mu Qingyao. After all, this kind of thing was not something he could decide on his own. He wanted to ask, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Mu Qingyao say, "We challenge the Chaos Black Bear!"

Ye Qi suddenly opened her eyes and was stunned in surprise. From the difference in benefits, it was obvious that the Chaos Black Bear was not on the same level as the previous two beasts, but she was so confident in challenging the Chaos Black Bear!

But just as Mu Qingyao finished speaking, the jade tablets in the hands of both of them reacted simultaneously. Ye Qi took a closer look and saw that fifty points had been deducted from his score. This was truly an unscrupulous profiteer. He was so angry that he asked, "You didn't say that challenging a ferocious beast would also deduct points!"

"Didn't I tell you? Maybe you forgot, but those who challenge the Chaos Black Bear need to spend fifty points each to purchase the challenge qualification. Do you two still want to challenge?"

Ye Qi was speechless after hearing what he said. All his points were deducted, but he still asked if he wanted to challenge him. It was really unnecessary. Wouldn't it be enough to just tell him that he was being cheated? He even acted like he was gloating over his misfortune as if he was doing things according to the rules!

"Forget it! Better save your energy to challenge the Chaos Black Bear!"

Mu Qingyao was surprisingly not angry this time. She just glanced at the man coldly, then lightly moved her lotus feet and walked in the direction indicated by the man!

Seeing that she didn't care at all, he thought it would be unreasonable if he kept pestering her, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger. He glared viciously at the man who was teasing them, then started to jog in two steps to catch up with Mu Qingyao!

"You today..."

"Didn't you realize that the man was targeting you on purpose? There would be no good results from a conflict with him. After all, there is no spiritual power restriction in his body!" Mu Qingyao walked to the edge of the trial platform and saw that the ferocious beast had not appeared yet. He spoke softly without turning his head.

Ye Qi did not respond to her words. Instead, he looked at the huge monster that suddenly appeared with a somewhat nervous expression and said, "Are you really sure we can defeat this Chaos Black Bear?"
