Chapter 61: Chapter 61: What’s Going On? Why Are These Array Masters So Afraid of Her?
“Two Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beasts…”
“200 points?!”
When the scoring teacher uttered these words in disbelief,
the entire plaza fell silent.
Whether it was the examinees who had just emerged from the Secret Realm or the various leaders on the main platform,
everyone stared dumbfounded at the two Demon Beast materials on the scoring table.
What?
What had they just heard?
Second-Grade Middle Stage?!
That charred thing was the head of a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast, an Ink Jade Profound Turtle?
That scorpion tail glinting with a sinister light was the stinger of a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast, a Desert Poison Scorpion?!
How was that possible?!
“N-No… Impossible! Teacher, are you sure you saw that correctly?!” The smile on Zhao Qingtian’s face instantly froze. He simply couldn’t accept this fact.
Beside him, Zhou Kai’s expression changed drastically, his pupils contracting violently in utter shock!
He hadn’t even lost his composure this much when he learned Zhao Qingtian’s Contracted Beast had broken through to the Second-Grade Early Stage!
As for Li Yueyao, she clamped a hand tightly over her mouth to keep herself from crying out in alarm.
What kind of joke was this!
That was the Second-Grade Middle Stage!
Every examinee knew that the higher the Grade, the more insurmountable the gap between minor stages became.
Breaking into the Second-Grade Early Stage required 500 points of Qi Blood, while the Second-Grade Middle Stage required a full 1,000 points!
The difference between them was even greater than the gap between the First-Grade Early Stage and the Peak of First-Grade!
Zhao Qingtian and Zhou Kai had joined forces, giving it their all, and had only barely managed to hunt two Second-Grade Early Stage Demon Beasts. That already felt like their limit!
If they were to encounter a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast, even the weakest kind,
they probably wouldn’t even have the courage to fight. They could only turn tail and run, and they’d be lucky to survive!
Among all the examinees, the only ones who could possibly kill a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast were the Array Masters!
And even then, it would take at least seven or eight Array Masters working together, setting up a Grand Array and exhausting their Mental Power, to have a slight chance of killing one!
But that was only a hundred points in total. How much would each person get if it were split among seven or eight people?
It would be better to just kill a few more Second-Grade Early Stage Demon Beasts!
Therefore, ever since the combat assessment began, no examinee had ever killed a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast!
Ordinary examinees lacked the ability, while the Array Masters considered it a thankless, difficult task!
Gu Yuexi… What gave her the right?
Just then, the experienced scoring teacher suddenly noticed something. “Strange… Why is there such a strong fluctuation of Array Energy remaining on this turtle meat? This… This Ink Jade Profound Turtle must have been killed by an Array, right?”
As soon as he said this, the entire crowd froze for a moment. Then, a look of sudden realization dawned on everyone’s faces!
So that was it!
Right! The only ones in the entire examination field who could possibly threaten a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast were that group of Array Masters!
As long as they were given enough time and materials to set up a powerful Killing Array, it was theoretically possible to wear down and kill a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast!
“I get it! It must have been that group from the Array specialization! They joined forces to set up an Array and desperately killed this Ink Jade Profound Turtle. But then they exhausted their Mental Power and were left weakened, and Gu Yuexi took advantage of their misfortune to snatch the spoils!”
Someone in the crowd immediately voiced this seemingly logical speculation.
It instantly gained the approval of the majority!
“Right, right! That must be it! There’s no other explanation!”
“I knew it. How could she possibly kill a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast? Turns out she just stole it!”
“No way! She’s so pretty, but she’d do something so scummy?”
“I don’t think so! Maybe she just got lucky and found the corpse? After all, her luck has always been really good!”
“666! Is this a new Chapter of ’Rebirth: I Am the School Beauty with Heaven-Defying Fortune’?”
“666! Shut up and take my money!”
For a moment, the surrounding chatter erupted once more.
Zhao Qingtian and Zhou Kai also breathed a sigh of relief. So that’s what happened.
Although they were still very unhappy, they could at least accept this explanation.
The scoring teacher frowned, looked at Gu Yuexi, and asked sternly, “Student, what exactly happened here?”
According to the assessment rules, whoever submitted the spoils received the points.
But this rule had one prerequisite: the actual killer had to have no objections.
Otherwise, if a dispute arose, it would have to be handled according to a different, more complex procedure.
Before Gu Yuexi could speak, the scoring teacher raised his voice and called out, “The examinees from the Array specialization? Come over here!”
Soon, Brother Zhang and the other seven Array Masters walked over under everyone’s watchful gaze, their faces pale and hearts pounding with fear.
The scoring teacher pointed to the turtle meat and asked in a low voice, “Did you kill this Ink Jade Profound Turtle?”
Brother Zhang and the others glanced at each other, seeing extreme panic in each other’s eyes.
How could they dare admit it!
If they admitted it, wouldn’t that she-devil skin them alive later?
Brother Zhang shook his head frantically, hastily denying it. “We didn’t kill it! Absolutely not! We don’t have that kind of ability! This… Student Gu Yuexi killed it! Yes! She’s the one who killed it! It has nothing to do with us!”
The scoring teacher: “???”
The surrounding students: “???”
What was going on?
What was wrong with this group of Array Masters? Why did they look so panicked? Their faces were white with fear.
Aren’t these the guys who are usually the most arrogant, walking around with their noses in the air? What’s with this terrified look now?
Gu Yuexi shot them a cool glance. “You didn’t kill it?”
“Ah?!”
Brother Zhang jumped in fright and subconsciously changed his tune. “Ah! Right, right, right! We killed it! We killed it! Oh, look at my memory. I’m getting old, my memory’s not what it used to be! I almost forgot! Haha, hahaha…”
Everyone: “…”
Zhao Qingtian’s mouth twitched. He felt like his intelligence was being insulted and quipped, “If you’re being threatened, just blink.”
Hearing this, Brother Zhang and the others instantly stared wide-eyed, not daring to blink even once!
Everyone: “…”
Now everyone could see that this group of Array Masters was genuinely afraid of Gu Yuexi!
But why? They couldn’t figure it out at all!
Gu Yuexi couldn’t be bothered to continue the act with them and said directly, “This Ink Jade Profound Turtle was indeed killed by them. I just picked up the scraps.”
“However, I don’t think they have any objections about who gets the points.”
Hearing this, Brother Zhang and the others shook their heads frantically, their eyes wide. “No objections! We have absolutely no objections! The capable deserve it! The capable deserve it!”
Gu Yuexi nodded, then pointed to the scorpion tail. “As for this Desert Poison Scorpion, I happened to run into it on my way out of the Secret Realm and killed it in passing.”
“In… In passing???”
Even the scoring teacher was stunned for a moment.
Everyone else was also completely bewildered.
That one sentence nearly fried everyone’s brains.
In passing? Killed a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast?!
Do you think you’re a Peak Second-Grade Martial Artist or something? That you’re some kind of badass?
“Come on! Even if you’re going to bullshit, you can’t be *that* blatant about it!”
