Chapter 28 - I'm Tired of Men, Time for a Change of Pace
New Event: Global Dungeons Daily Releases
"So, if anyone among you can achieve the feat of solo killing a trainer, you can directly enter the Special Grade Class."
'Solo kill...'
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao silently clicked open her own panel attributes to check.
——————————————————
[Name: Ye Xiaoxiao]
[Path: Mage]
[Transcendental Class: Necromancer]
[Level: 1]
[Experience: 0%]
[Constitution: 15]
[Speed: 20]
[Strength: 15]
[Spirit: 20]
[Mana: 150/150]
[Skill: Skeleton Summoning (Level 1)]
[Cultivation Method: None]
[Extra Ability: Scourge Descent]
[Worshipped God: World-Destroying Demon God]
——————————————————
"My two main attributes are at 20 points. If I count the 'Scourge Descent' trait bonus, I can pull it up to 24. I can even reduce the opponent's attributes by 20%. If I'm up against an A-Rank trainer, maybe I can also achieve a solo kill!"
She murmured to herself while simultaneously opening the skill details to check it again.

Skeleton Summoning
Skill Level: Cannot be upgraded
Consumption: 10
Cooldown: None
Introduction: Summons a skeleton minion. All of the minions' attributes inherit 60% of the summoner's Spirit.
——————————————————
"If my Spirit counts the domain boost, it's 24 points. By that conversion...
I can summon 15 minions at once, with all their attributes at around 15."
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled.
It should be known that chugging potions was allowed during PK.
And during the training period, each student could receive 5 small blue bottles for free, which could restore 100 mana each.
Which meant that...
She could summon 65 skeleton minions at Level 1.
Wouldn't that cover the entire arena?
"Alright, little ones, it's time to draw lots to choose your opponents."
As time slowly passed.
It was finally Ye Xiaoxiao's group's turn to draw lots for the practical combat.
——————————————————
[Group A Practical Test: Ye Xiaoxiao, Chu Youyou, Zhang Xun]
[Trainer: Shen Xu]
[Level: 10]
[Path: Assassin]
[Class: Ghost (S-Rank)]
——————————————————
On the central screen, Ye Xiaoxiao found her own practical combat grouping.
"A trainer with an S-Rank class quality?"
"This is fucking smurfing! Who would come to be a trainer with an S-Rank class?"
Seeing the information on the screen, all the students were dumbfounded.
What kind of luck was this, to actually encounter an S-Rank trainer?
And an Assassin class at that.
It should be known that the Assassin class was a notorious 1v1 killer.
Their dueling ability was extremely strong, especially countering squishy classes like Mages, Archers, and Supports.
And the three students in Group A happened to be in these types of classes.
This clearly affected their ability to display their true strength.
"Aiyoyo~ Teacher Zhou, looks like your luck’s a bit bad this time. That kid Shen Xu is quite heavy-handed. Those three students of yours will probably all have to enter the Ordinary Class."
A charming woman twisted her sensational snake-like waist.
She fanned her feather fan lightly while dressed in a retro-style big red qipao, covering her mouth as she laughed coquettishly and sat in front of Zhou Minjun.
Her mouth spoke of regret, but her expression and her tone were clearly filled with ridicule.
This woman was named Ji Baixi. She belonged to the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Joyous Union Sect, and she swung both ways.
Her greatest hobby was having in-depth exchanges with students, personally teaching, and training them.
Shen Xu from Group A was a student she had trained.
"Boring!"
Zhou Minjun sneered and ignored the woman's provocation.
Clearly…
This petty-minded woman had bribed the judges.
This kind of instance wasn’t the first or second time.
"Boring? But I find it very interesting."
Saying that, Ji Baixi actually used her feather fan to lift Zhou Minjun's chin, her peach-blossom pink eyes narrowing slightly.
Like a venomous snake that had locked onto its prey, she licked her red lips and lowered her voice.
"Especially seeing... the way you look when you yield."
"Get your dirty fan off me."
Zhou Minjun slapped away Ji Baixi's fan, her expression ice-cold.
"Fine. I'd like to see how long you can remain reserved. If I remember correctly…
It's been a long time since you've had a student enter the Special Grade Class."
Ji Baixi lightly stroked the hair on her shoulder and continued indifferently.
"If your performance doesn't meet the standard again, I reckon you won't even be able to gather enough candidates for the national competition. If this continues, you’ll be advised to quit sooner or later."
"What does that have to do with you?"
"Of course it’s related to me! As long as you agree to my request and cultivate the Heart Sutra with me, I’ll lend you a few students. How about it?"
Ji Baixi looked at Zhou Minjun, persuading her patiently.
She had eaten too many men and had long grown tired of them.
So her orientation had changed.
This wasn’t only to satisfy her personal hobby, but also to help her "Sunflower Treasure Manual" Heart Sutra cultivation.
Honestly, Ji Baixi's first target was Jiang Linyue.
It was a pity that she was the Heavenly Dao Alliance Saintess. Her status was far too high above her own.
During her student days, she was also protected so tightly by Zhou Minjun.
So she could only settle for the next best thing and set her sights on Zhou Minjun, who also belonged to the Carefree Sect.
This way, she could take revenge and increase her strength at the same time.
The Carefree Sect's exclusive "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" could speed up her "Sunflower Treasure Manual's" cultivation progress.
It should be known that the attribute bonuses and effects of Heart Sutras weren’t small.
Whether in combat or in dungeons…
They could play a key role.
But things like Heart Sutras were copyrighted and bound to factions. Outsiders couldn't learn them.
This was also the reason why school tuition was so high.
Because the academy would teach current students Heart Sutras, and they would have the right to use them upon their smooth graduation.
But if they dropped out or quit halfway, their right to use the Heart Sutra would be erased.
"Heh! I think you're dreaming."
Zhou Minjun sneered.
She refused without hesitation.
Nonsense, helping Ji Baixi cultivate her Heart Sutra would affect her own.
Not even a fool would agree to such a request.
"Is that so? Then we'll just slowly wear each other down. Don't worry, I have plenty of means to play with you, until... I drive you out of the Carefree Sect!
When you come begging me then, it won't be this price."
Ji Baixi gently stroked her feather fan while covering her mouth as she chuckled lightly.
'Bang!'
Coincidentally, at this moment, in the Group A arena.
A student's figure was sent flying backward violently.
Spitting out a large mouthful of blood, he fell to the ground and passed out completely.
"Zhang Xun, 0 points! Assigned to Ordinary Class."
The judge's cold voice sounded, directly announcing the student's fate.
"Aiyayaya~ Teacher Zhou, your student’s so weak, directly getting one-shotted!"
Seeing the student being carried away on a stretcher, Ji Baixi giggled, her words filled with a provocative flavor.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Minjun's brows furrowed tightly, her expression clearly becoming much uglier.
Although she had seen many such incidents.
But seeing her own student being treated differently and was even implicated because of her…
This feeling was still very uncomfortable.
[Group A Second Match: Ye Xiaoxiao VS Shen Xu]
Soon, Ye Xiaoxiao walked onto the arena while holding a temporary staff.
"If I remember correctly, this girl's name is Ye Xiaoxiao, right? She seems to be the student you value the most. What a pity... Her future was ruined by you just like that."
Ji Baixi continued to provoke Zhou Minjun, the smile on her face becoming even more brilliant.
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
Zhou Minjun was clearly angry.
But the angrier she got, the happier and more excited Ji Baixi became!

T/N - Come on, guys. Only one reaction? I feel so sad now. 😢
Ah, of course the last chapter’s face-slap setup wasn’t enough. I have a feeling that this Ji Baixi might switch targets to Ye Xiaoxiao, dragging the MC into the trouble. Hopefully, I’m either wrong or she doesn’t become too annoying later on.
E/N: ꉂ૮(°□°'˶)ა. Don’t jinx it! Ye Xiaoxiao is my favorite character. I want her safe and sound!
