Chapter 338 - The first (The fourth request)
"Great, I didn"t guess wrong!"
The woman in red rushed over and stared at Lin s.h.i.+ru.
At the same time, she turned her attention towards Ye Xuan who was right beside Lin s.h.i.+ru.
She instantly recognized Ye Xuan.
Immediately, there was a hint of astonishment in her eyes.
Then, the way she looked at Lin s.h.i.+ru became a lot more playful.
"Yao Hongyi, what are you doing here?"
Lin s.h.i.+ru was shocked to see the woman in red as well.
She didn"t expect her best friend to rush over to Divine Nature Palace as well.
"What"s wrong, you didn"t bring me along and brought another puppy with you. Can"t I also find someone else and come with them?"
Yao Hongyi replied.
"Stop spouting nonsense!"
Lin s.h.i.+ru was fl.u.s.tered.
"Alright, I"ll stop spouting nonsense. Come over here."
Yao Hongyi pulled Lin s.h.i.+ru over.
She sent her a Sound Transmission: "Lil Ruru, well done, I couldn"t tell that you were actually that capable. Indeed, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first… the Ye Xuan that so many girls in Xia is thinking about, yet you..."
"Shut up!"
Lin s.h.i.+ru"s face turned red.
She blocked Yao Hongyi"s mouth with her hand.
She wanted to stop her from continuing.
She felt like she would be too embarra.s.sed to face anyone later if she continued.
"Don"t tell me you don"t like him? If you don"t, why don"t you let me have him instead?"
Yao Hongyi avoided Lin s.h.i.+ru"s hand and playfully said.
Lin s.h.i.+ru turned her head away and kept quiet.
"Chuckle."
Seeing this, Yao Hongyi suddenly laughed. She kept quiet and pulled Lin s.h.i.+ru back again.
She then looked at Ye Xuan and said,
"Ye Xuan, let"s get to know one another. I"m Yao Hongyi, a good friend of s.h.i.+ru. You can call me Sister Yao. You came in with s.h.i.+ru, so I"ll leave her to you. You have to take good care of her in the future."
Lin s.h.i.+ru who was beside her glared at her with a red face after hearing that.
"Sister Yao, don"t worry."
Ye Xuan immediately promised her.
He thought that Yao Hongyi seemed like a very interesting person.
He loved the way she talks.
"Ye Xuan, she"s the person I told you about, the one who helped you refine the h.e.l.lfire Protective Bead."
"I see, so Sister Yao is the one who refined the h.e.l.lfire Protective Bead that I used the other time?" Ye Xuan was a little surprised and quickly thanked Yao Hongyi again.
"That"s enough, you don"t have to thank me, just use that grat.i.tude and take good care of s.h.i.+ru instead. Come, let me introduce you."
Yao Hongyi waved her hands, then pulled the man beside her who didn"t look very handsome over. He didn"t have much of a presence either. She then said, "He"s Wan Jinghui, my semi-formal boyfriend, you guys can get to know one another."
"Nice to meet you."
A slightly awkward smile could be seen on that man"s face after Yao Hongyi"s introduction. He didn"t seem to be a chatty person. After greeting Ye Xuan and Lin s.h.i.+ru, he stood right next to Yao Hongyi and watched as they continued to chat.
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
At the same time, there were more and more people entering the main hall.
Occasionally, someone new would enter the main hall.
"I wonder what"s the content of this trial in the Divine Nature Palace. Why does each Trial Taker have to bring someone along with them."
With more and more people entering, Yao Hongyi mumbled at the side.
Ye Xuan and Lin s.h.i.+ru were equally clueless as well.
"Trial of the Divine Nature Palace officially begins..."
As if knowing what everyone was thinking while waiting, a message suddenly appeared inside everyone"s head.
"This..."
Everyone was stunned after receiving this message.
They didn"t expect the trial at the Divine Nature Palace to be this special.
The trial was mainly split into two parts.
The first part would be testing the Trial Taker"s beast aptness level.
The stronger the aptness level of the Trial Taker, the more benefits they would gain in the initial stage.
The second part of the trial was to have the person holding onto the Divine Nature Palace Trial Token practice in front of this main hall.
The a.s.sistant Trial Taker that they brought along would have to head to the trial ground that the Divine Nature Palace arranged and kill monsters there while fighting for treasures.
The more monsters they killed, the more treasure the Trial Taker who was holding onto the trial token would receive.
At the same time, based on their performance, the a.s.sistant Trial Taker could also choose some evolutionary resources from the Divine Nature Palace as a reward after they had completed the trial.
"What kind of trial is this?"
Ye Xuan was feeling a little bit surprised.
It seemed like in addition to selecting the most suitable inheritor…
They were also hoping that the Trial Taker"s friend or lover was equally strong as well.
"Ye Xuan."
After receiving the message from the Divine Nature Palace, Lin s.h.i.+ru sent him an awkward Sound Transmission, "I originally thought that the both of us would have to take the trial together."
"We"re taking it together."
Ye Xuan laughed, and playfully said, "You just have to take good care of the things at home, and I"ll go out to earn money."
Lin s.h.i.+ru glared at him.
"Alright."
At this moment, Yao Hongyi who was at the side stared at Lin s.h.i.+ru and said, "The both of you stop flirting with each other. s.h.i.+ru, you"re a little careless. With Ye Xuan"s ability, I"m afraid he will be in danger if he enters the trial ground by himself. I think you should let him go with Jinghui."
After hearing that, Ye Xuan and Lin s.h.i.+ru glanced at Yao Hongyi.
"I don"t think there"s a need for that."
Ye Xuan laughed as he rejected her, "Brother Jinghui will definitely be implicated if he follows me."
He scanned the surroundings.
He could only notice that with more and more people in the square…
G.o.d knows how many people were already looking towards him.
It was obvious what these people"s motive were.
Don"t worry, my life-saving ability is pretty good. You can just send me a transmission any time at the trial ground. When that happens, I"ll find a way to go and find you."
Wan Jinghui said after hearing that.
"There"s really no need for that." Lin s.h.i.+ru looked at both Yao Hongyi and Wan Jinghui, then said, "Ye Xuan"s pretty strong. There"s nothing much these people here can do to him."
Yao Hongyi glared at her.
Wan Jinghui was stunned as well.
They stared with a look of disbelief at Lin s.h.i.+ru, then looked towards Ye Xuan.
"Swoos.h.!.+"
At this moment, rays of light shone down from above, and in the blink of an eye, landed onto the various Beast Tamers who were holding onto the trial token.
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Following that, with this ray of light falling down…
All the Trial Takers were absorbed and headed straight towards the various huge white colored Illusory Round Stages up in the sky.
All these Illusory Round Stages were arranged from high to low.
Ye Xuan looked at these Illusory Round Stages, and noticed that after Lin s.h.i.+ru had been brought up to the Round Stages…
She was standing at the Round Stage that was at the top of all the Illusory Round Stages.
"Is this the aptness test?"
Ye Xuan"s heart shook, and he finally understood what this meant.
After Lin s.h.i.+ru used the Nine Transformation Beast Elixir that he had given her, just like him, she could now form an agreement with two new beasts at every realm.
Under this sort of circ.u.mstances, it was perfectly normal for her to take the number one spot.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
While thinking about that, he noticed that there was nothing between him and the Round Stage, so he shook his mind, and flew onto Lin s.h.i.+ru"s Round Stage, and asked her,
"So what, is the aptness test over already?"
"Mm."
Lin s.h.i.+ru looked at Ye Xuan with excitement, and sent him a Sound Transmission, "The test is simple, but the reward is great. They directly gave me 10,000 points of Divine Nature Palace contribution points."
"By using the contribution points, I can exchange for many things from the Divine Nature Palace. I can even exchange for beasts as well."
"Even if I were to exchange for things using the contribution points, most of the things have to be used in two days, if not after leaving this place, they"ll be recovered. Only a small portion of things here are items that can be kept for a long period of time."
"Besides that, the Divine Nature Palace has given me a Nature"s Crystal. It seems like this thing can increase the cultivation level of my beast very quickly."
"Is that so? Looks like the Divine Nature Palace is very generous with their rewards."
Ye Xuan was also happy for the things that Lin s.h.i.+ru had gained, "In that case, just practice here for the next two days, I"ll take part in the trial and try to earn more things that will be able to help you."
"Mm."
Lin s.h.i.+ru nodded her head, looked at Ye Xuan seriously and said, "You don"t have to try too hard. The most important thing is to take care of your own safety."
"I got it. I"ll still have to return to Jiangzhou University and I"m going to be the Vice Dean there."
Ye Xuan gave Lin s.h.i.+ru a wink.
Lin s.h.i.+ru didn"t try to avoid his gaze either.
"What"s going on? Is this the aptness test? What the h.e.l.l? Why is Cerulean Planet"s Lin s.h.i.+ru the one with the highest aptness level?"
At the same time, with the aptness test coming to an end, they were all stuned after they noticed that Lin s.h.i.+ru placed first in the aptness test.
Lin s.h.i.+ru had a strong reputation in Xia.
She was also pretty popular in Cerulean Planet.
There were also people in the Milky Way who had heard of her as well.
Though not many, but through word of mouth, many people had quickly heard of her name.
Everyone was stunned after noticing that she placed first in the aptness test.
If Ye Xuan was the Trial Taker of the Divine Nature Palace, and Ye Xuan was the one who placed first in the aptness test, then no one would have anything to say.
That was something perfectly normal.
But if it was Lin s.h.i.+ru...
There were way too many people here who had never heard of Lin s.h.i.+ru.
They didn"t even have an idea how strong her Beast Taming Talent was, so how was it that she was in first place just like that?!
"How is that possible?"
In the distance, Ge Hongshuang"s eyes were filled with envy after noticing that Lin s.h.i.+ru was sitting right on top.
She had no idea what was going on with Lin s.h.i.+ru"s talent.
Although Lin s.h.i.+ru might be stronger than her…
But out of the 1500-1600 people here, half of them were Trial Takers.
She found it hard to believe that Lin s.h.i.+ru could still rank first amongst all the Trial Takers here.
"Lil Ruru..."
At the same time, at another Round Stage, Yao Hongyi was also shocked to find out that Lin s.h.i.+ru managed to take first place in the aptness test.
She couldn"t seem to understand when her talent had become this powerful as well.
"Hum!"
All of a sudden, as countless of people were surprised at Lin s.h.i.+ru"s talent, with void trembling a little, the figure of Ye Xuan and the others disappeared from this s.p.a.ce in an instant.
"Swoos.h.!.+"
In the next moment, Ye Xuan"s figure flashed, and he noticed that he was already inside a forest.
At the same time, a screen appeared in his head.
In the screen, various evolutionary resources could be seen.
"If I can help Linlin achieve first in this trial, can I choose any ten evolutionary resources from here and take it with me?"
Ye Xuan scanned through the evolutionary resources in the screen, and his heart shook instantly.
These evolutionary resources could change according to his mind.
With him shaking his heart, a lot of evolutionary resources were listed there.
"Are there any evolutionary resources that can help a Diamond Level beast with Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise"s bloodline advance to the Extraordinary Level rapidly?"
He managed to find a wide variety of things that will be of use to him.
"If I can choose any ten evolutionary resources, then it seems like it"s not impossible even if I want the Azure Dragon Combination to quickly get promoted to Extraordinary Level."
Ye Xuan"s heart shook vigorously.
He didn"t even bother looking at the rewards below first place.
