Chapter 613: It Would Be Good If There Was A Painkiller (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At nine o’clock in the night, Sheng Zhou and Sheng Xiao sat cross-legged on the balcony and meditated. The entire dormitory was silent.
Sheng Xiao, who had been focused on meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked up and said, “Where are the other students?” The entire building was too quiet. That wasn’t normal.
Sheng Zhou didn’t open his eyes, but he replied, “I think they went to receive punishment.”
There was punishment for teams that didn’t successfully complete the mission.
“Oh really?” Sheng Xiao asked curiously, “What punishment?” He had never heard Yu Huang mention it.
“I don’t know. I saw them walking down the mountain after dinner.”
Walking down the mountain?
Thinking of the promise Yu Huang made with him in the afternoon, Sheng Xiao realized that Yu Huang was playing with him.
Naughty.
Sheng Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.
Sheng Zhou finally opened his eyes when he heard the laughter. He caught the smile on Sheng Xiao’s lips. “What are you laughing at?”
Sheng Xiao said sternly, “I miss my wife.”
Sheng Zhou was speechless.
Sheng Zhou thought about how ruthless Sheng Xiao was when he fought with Yu Huang this afternoon. He couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked, “Sheng Xiao, didn’t you panic when you fought with Young Madam today? She’s your wife.”
Sheng Xiao usually treated Yu Huang like a treasure. When it came to fighting, he was ruthless.
Sheng Xiao looked mysterious. “What do you know? Hitting is kissing and scolding is love.”
“Then you guys are really in love.”
Sheng Xiao couldn’t sit still anymore. He said, “I’ll go and see what they’re doing.” He got up and looked down at Sheng Zhou. “Are you coming with me?”
Sheng Zhou shook his head. “I won’t go.”
“Okay.”
Sheng Xiao left the dormitory building alone. He p.r.i.c.ked up his ears and listened carefully. After confirming that Yu Huang and the others were being punished at the back of the mountain, he walked briskly towards the back of the mountain.
The south side of the Black Dome was steep, but the back mountain in the north was a gentle slope. However, the road on the slope was still rugged. Under the night sky, the Black Dome looked even darker and sinister. The students who had failed the mission carried shoulder poles and lined up while walking on the rugged mountain path with difficulty.
Sheng Xiao couldn’t see what was in the dustpan. He walked closer and realized that the dustpan was filled with black stones the size of bricks. They looked similar to the pressure stones that Gold Ingot used to train him and Yu Huang with.
However, the surface of the pressure stone was covered in l.u.s.ter, and the surface of this stone was even more matte. This was a Black Spirit Stone, a very precious ore. It was both an ore medicinal ingredient and a treasure that aided cultivation.
Because it contained an extremely clean and majestic spiritual energy in its body, it was ridiculously expensive. At the same time, its weight was also ridiculously heavy.
A Black Spirit Stone the size of a brick weighed five hundred kilograms.
Each dustpan contained a Black Spirit Stone. In other words, each of them carried a weight of 1,000 kilograms. Even if a Beast Tamer wanted to carry a 2,000 kilograms Black Spirit Stone from the bottom of the Black Dome Mountain to the top, it would be very difficult.
Therefore, they had to mobilize all the spiritual power in their bodies to carry them up the mountain.
This method of punishment sounded inhumane, but when they consumed the spiritual power in their bodies, they were also absorbing the spiritual power contained in the Black Spirit Stone. Therefore, although the academy seemed to be punishing them, it was actually motivating them to cultivate.
Professor Pupu An of the Beast Clan was once the princ.i.p.al of the Beast Clan Academy. He was a Grand Master with a human body and a snake tail. After the establishment of the Holy Spirit Academy, Professor Pupu An became the vice princ.i.p.al of the Holy Spirit Academy.
Tonight, it was Professor Pupu An’s turn to be on duty.
When Professor Pupu An saw Sheng Xiao, he waved his tail and landed in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Sheng Xiao, your team won, so you don’t need to be punished. What are you doing here?” He paused and smiled teasingly. “Are you here to accompany your wife?”
Before Sheng Xiao could say anything, Professor Pupu An reached out his right hand and grabbed the shoulder pole on the ground. He placed the shoulder pole in Sheng Xiao’s hand and said domineeringly, “Husband and wife should share blessings and hardships together. Since you’re here, join your wife!”
Sheng Xiao smiled and took the pole.
His original intention was to accompany Yu Huang in her punishment anyway.
Sheng Xiao carried the pole and walked down the mountain.
