Chapter 41 - Looks So Small and Frail, Yet Fights So Brutally?
Time flowed like water, and years passed like a shuttle.
One day passed by in a rush.
"Mmmph~"
Ye Mo stretched his waist and got up with sleepy eyes.
Shaking his heavy head, he walked to the washstand.
Through the mirror, he looked at his haggard appearance.
Last night in the dream, that girl Lilith seemed to have reached her limit.
Ever since he had returned to reality last time, she had started making moves on him.
"Gehehehe! My dear Lord Demon God, you're finally awake. This one has been waiting for you for a long, long time!"
Looking at the messy battlefield around him, Ye Mo sighed helplessly.
'Alright, alright, I'll play with you then.'
During this period, he also took a moment to check the system page and found an extra 60 Divine Points.
It was probably provided by that "Minotaur's Lair" dungeon.
This kind of fixed income was quite consistent.
"Hiss! I have to say, the feeling of suppressing Lilith to the extreme is really addictive!"
He intended to continue training Lilith with this method in the future to enhance her practical combat experience alongside him.
After a simple breakfast, Ye Mo took a taxi to his office.
"Hmm? The door isn't locked?"
When he arrived at the office, Ye Mo was surprised to find the door unlocked.
He frowned instantly and stepped inside with vigilance in his heart.
However...
He instead found a white fluffy tail hanging on the side of the sofa.
Sweeping his gaze up, he saw a Meng Li, who seemed to have melted.
The little girl was curled up softly on the sofa, her slender, fair, and tender legs hugging a pillow, with dark circles under her eyes.
She muttered in her sleep, "I’ll work hard," "I won't let you down," and similar words.
"This girl, she didn't stay up all night working overtime, did she?"
Ye Mo was stunned for a long while, took out a blanket, and covered Meng Li with it.
Then he hid aside and made a phone call to Zhou Minjun.
"Can I go to your place for the test a little later today?"
"Oh oh oh, okay, okay, thank you, thank you!"
Hanging up the phone, Ye Mo looked at the soundly sleeping Meng Li and shook his head helplessly.
'Shoo shoo shoo~ Shoo shoo~'
Time flew by.
Soon, it was three in the afternoon.
Ye Mo took Meng Li with and they arrived at Kaiyang Academy.
"Is this the school? It's so magnificent!"
Looking at the sign at the entrance of Kaiyang Academy…
Meng Li, who was wearing a big cat-eared hoodie, had shock and yearning in her eyes while she sighed deeply.
She had to admit, Kaiyang Academy was worthy of being the largest academy in Kaiyang City.
The building area was vast, and the skyscrapers inside went straight to the sky.
Even the main gate and the sign looked so spectacular.
"What’re you doing here? Non-school personnel and elementary school students aren’t allowed to enter this place! If you want to hand out flyers, go somewhere else!"
Seeing the two standing suspiciously at the entrance, the security guard immediately swung his electric baton and warned them.
"Oh, we have an invitation from Teacher Zhou Minjun."
Saying this, Ye Mo took out an electronic QR code.
"Beep! Welcome."
After scanning the QR code on the machine…
The manual passage next to it opened.
Only then did Ye Mo and Meng Li enter the academy.
"Why did that feel like… scanning a ticket?"
Ye Mo sighed helplessly, then he followed the instructions while leading Meng Li forward.
Soon, he found the building number of Zhou Minjun's teaching building.
"Hello, I’m Ye Xiaoxiao's guardian."
Ye Mo knocked on the door politely and then pushed it open.
The office wasn’t big.
Besides Zhou Minjun, there were several other teachers, red-faced as they scolded students.
"Look! Look! Why did your rank drop so much this time? Can't you pay more attention!?
You should get medicine and equipment from your teacher. You always use those pirated versions from outside. How can your PK results not drop?"
"I told you not to get distracted and not to touch things randomly in the dungeon! Now look? You’ve dragged the whole class’s level down! Damn it! My year-end bonus!"
"Stand up straight for me! Why did you lose to the student next door in the fight again at this time? You're fucking embarrassing me! In the future, don't say you're my student when you go out!"
Looking at the red-faced teachers scolding their students one by one…
Ye Mo raised his eyebrows speechlessly.
'Is the competition in schools this fierce nowadays?'
Meng Li even shrank her neck as she peeked out from behind Ye Mo.
The beautiful image of a school in her heart was shattered on the spot.
"Welcome, Mr. Ye."
After seeing Ye Mo, Zhou Minjun eagerly came forward to shake his hand.
Then she swept her gaze to Meng Li.
"You must be Meng Li."
She smiled and reached out, also preparing to shake Meng Li’s hands as a gesture of goodwill.
This action made Meng Li pause for a moment.
She extended her small hand awkwardly and said timidly.
"He... Hello."
Soon, Zhou Minjun led the two to the gymnasium.
Behind her, followed a long-haired young man.
Clearly, he was Meng Li's opponent.
"His name is Chen Yi, and he’s your opponent this time. A-Rank class 'Icefire Warlock'."
Zhou Minjun pointed at the long-haired young man in the arena.
He held a black grimoire in his hand, was draped in a thick mage robe, and wore a long wizard hat on his head.
Clearly, he was a fully equipped Mage player.
"Meow-woo~ As expected of a student from the Upper District, his equipment’s so complete."
Meng Li took a deep, nervous breath.
The only equipment on her body that was presentable was the greatsword in her hand, which could increase her Strength attribute by 7 points.
"No need to be nervous, just perform normally."
Seeing Meng Li's anxious expression, Ye Mo patted her head and comforted her.
"En!"
The little girl nodded, then took off her hood, revealing her pair of white fluffy cat ears, and walked slowly onto the stage.
"Hello, my name is Meng Li, a Level 12 Warrior."
Stating one's identity to the opponent before a PK was a basic courtesy.
"Only Level 12?"
Below the stage, Zhou Minjun, who was sitting side by side with Ye Mo, frowned.
She didn't expect Meng Li to be only Level 12. This was much worse than she had expected!
'Sure enough, because of her Demi-human status…'
'So leveling up for them is that difficult?'
'If she’s only at this level, then she can't participate in the national competition.'
"You’re a Demi-human?"
Chen Yi, on the stage, also looked astonished. He didn't expect that the one competing with him for the competition slot was actually a Demi-human.
He subconsciously looked at Zhou Minjun. Seeing that she didn't say anything…
He frowned slightly.
'A Level 12 Demi-human having the nerve to compete with me for a slot?'
"Level 20 Mage, Chen Yi."
He said impatiently, then he assumed his stance.
[3... 2... 1]
[Start!]
With a 'ding' from the countdown on the large screen…
Chen Yi, without another word, tapped his grimoire lightly.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
Instantly, three uncharged fireballs shot towards Meng Li!
Facing the fierce offensive, the latter held her greatsword and took a deep breath.
Her petite body bent down slightly, and her eyes became sharp!
"Ghost God Step!"
"Ghost Shadow Slash!"
Two skills were used consecutively.
Meng Li's body instantly became ethereal.
The three fireballs passed directly through her body and smashed into the rear, kicking up waves of air.
'Whoosh!'
Suddenly!
Meng Li stomped heavily on the ground with one foot.
Her body turned into an afterimage, charging straight towards Chen Yi!
"So fast!"
Zhou Minjun's pupils contracted, her face froze in shock.
"Damn it, get away from me!"
Watching Meng Li rapidly approaching him, Chen Yi had a bad premonition.
While retreating and dodging, he frantically threw out fireballs and ice cones to block her.
But Meng Li was like a ghost. All his attacks couldn't touch her at all.
"Oh no! She's too fast. I can't pull away."
Chen Yi gritted his teeth and hurriedly used his third skill.
"Elemental Shield!"
He cast a shield on himself to block the upcoming attack.
This was a skill all Mages learned at Level 20 that was used to block attacks from melee classes.
'Bang!'
Like the sound of shattering glass, the shield rang out abruptly!
Meng Li swung her greatsword, breaking the shield with a single horizontal sweep!
"She broke my shield in one hit?"
'Isn't she only Level 12? Where did she get such high attack power!'
Chen Yi's pupils contracted, but before he could react, a strong sense of suffocation suddenly hit him.
Meng Li grabbed his neck with a reverse grip!
Her slender arm erupted with unbelievable strength…
Directly throwing Chen Yi's entire person away!
