Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Whac-A-Mole_1
In the Earth Attribute Magic Training Room on the fifth floor, the new skill Qin Sisi had to learn was called "Rock Fall".
After watching the demonstration by Ye You, Qin Sisi was reminded of a certain arcade ga she played in the Human World - Whac-A-Mole,
Where a mole would suddenly pop out of a hole and the player must use a large mallet to hit it down.
The training thod for "Rock Fall" was similar. From beneath her feet, a large rat, much bigger than any she’d ever seen in the Human World, would suddenly pop out from an uncertain location.
According to Ye You, these rats were known as Black Rats. They had black fur, round beady eyes, long whiskers, protruding mouths, and sharp teeth. They looked sly and terrifying.
Upon their appearance, these rats would linger for a just second or two. The trainee was expected to conjure falling rocks using Earth Attribute Magic within this incredibly short span of ti to smash the Black Rat to death.
If they didn’t successfully kill these Black Rats in ti, the rats would quickly charge over and bite the trainee’s feet and legs. Their sharp teeth were incredibly sharp, able to tear off a chunk of flesh in one bite, causing blood to flow.
Frankly, this was the most terrifying and disgusting trial Qin Sisi had experienced over the past few days.
In her panicky state, Qin Sisi failed to hit the first Black Rat that jumped out, and it even managed to bite her leg painfully.
When the ferocious Black Rat wanted to continue gnawing at her, Qin Sisi endured the pain, bounded behind a red arc, and settled in the safe zone outside of it.
The Black Rat disappeared as they reached the red arc, which then disappeared as well.
Ye You quickly approached her, lifted the hem of her dress to examine the wound on her leg, bleeding incessantly. He felt both heartache and guilt. Had he been pushing her too hard?
Qin Sisi bit her lip and asked worriedly, "It wouldn’t transmit any diseases, would it?"
Ye You shook his head and answered, "Don’t worry. They’re not real Black Rats, but just shapes conjured by magic."
Reassured, Qin Sisi spoke softly: "Then, please treat my wound."
Ye You looked at her with deep-set eyes, lifted his hand to conjure a light green glow, and pressed it onto Qin Sisi’s wound.
The wound looked rather terrifying, but ultimately, it was only a surface injury and was not severe. It didn’t take long for Ye You to heal it completely.
Qin Sisi dropped her dress hem, stood up leaning on Ye You, and looked determinedly towards the trial area.
Ye You hesitated before saying, "If you don’t feel ready, you don’t have to train right now."
Yes, he had softened. No one could look forward to Qin Sisi’s rapid developnt more than he did, but equally, no one wanted her to grow peacefully and finding tranquility more than he did.
Qin Sisi responded with surprise, "How could I not? Since I am here, I should train hard. Otherwise, I would be wasting the Middle-grade Spirit Stone."
Ye You didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and took a hold of Qin Sisi’s arm, "Sisi, money is not a problem."
Qin Sisi blinked and spoke seriously, "It’s not a problem for you, but it is a big one for ."
To soone who had no idea how to make money in the Demon Sacred Realm, even a Low-grade Spirit Stone would pose a huge problem.
Ye You’s heart sank, and he stared at Qin Sisi for a while before abruptly embracing her. He loosened his grip soon afterward and reminded her in a low voice, "Be careful."
Qin Sisi nodded in approval and under Ye You’s watchful eyes, stepped back into the trial area.
She wrote the word "Rock Fall" on the wall, then moved to the center of the trial area and awaited the appearance of a Black Rat.
Soon thereafter, the ground shimred and a Black Rat with round eyes surged forward.
The eyes of Qin Sisi turned cold; her palm, which was already holding her Earth Attribute Magic Power, was pointed swiftly at the Black Rat, and she shouted aloud, "Rock Fall!"
A stone about the size of a fist fell from the sky and hit the Black Rat squarely. The Black Rat was imdiately flayed, its small eyes rolled back, and its form dissipated.
It was a success!
Qin Sisi took a deep breath, clinched her fist, and got ntally ready to face two Black Rats which were about to arrive.
The ground shimred again as two nimble Black Rats jumped from beneath the surface.
Qin Sisi lifted both her hands and pointed them at the Black Rats. Two solid rocks fell from the sky and hit them, killing both of them right away.
The next mont, four Black Rats jumped out simultaneously.
Swiftly, Qin Sisi targeted two of them, and two solid rocks killed those two as expected. However, the other two Black Rats rushed towards her ferociously.
Anticipating this, Qin Sisi quickly retreated two steps backwards, crossing the red arc, and entered into the safety zone.
The two Black Rats disintegrated as soon as they reached the red arc, which then disappeared, and the ground beneath darkened, signaling the end of the trial.
Ye You smiled faintly at Qin Sisi and gave her a thumbs-up, expressing his satisfaction with her performance.
Qin Sisi took a quick rest and replayed the trials in her mind. She then re-entered the trial area.
After countless trials, Qin Sisi could finally smash four Black Rats simultaneously. However, when it ca to eight Black Rats, no matter how hard she tried, she could not manage to vanquish them all at the sa ti.
After completing five hours of trials, Qin Sisi and Ye You returned to the reward room on the twelfth floor.
This ti, Ye You won ninety-nine Low-grade Spirit Stones while Qin Sisi managed three. Although it was lesser than the rewards for the Fire Attribute Magic, as long as it wasn’t just one, Qin Sisi saw it as satisfactory.
The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Sisi was going to bring Ye You along for training at the trial tower. However, he handed her a Middle-grade Spirit Stone and sent soone to summon Jing Jing. He told Qin Sisi that he had so business to take care of and asked Jing Jing to accompany her for training.
Seeing that Ye You seed rather preoccupied, Qin Sisi asked cautiously about it. Ye You was silent for a long mont before telling her that he would inform her in the evening.
Jing Jing arrived soon. Ye You instructed her a few tis to ensure she took good care of Qin Sisi.
As Prince had requested, Jing Jing naturally accepted, although she felt a little awkward. What would constitute taking good care? How could one practice magic without getting injured?
She could be by Qin Sisi’s side to tend to her wounds imdiately, but she couldn’t guarantee that Qin Sisi would not get hurt.
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You with concern. Ye You forced a smile, patted her shoulder, and said, "Go on then, good luck."
Qin Sisi nodded, and, together with Jing Jing, headed towards the trial tower.
Ye You watched Qin Sisi’s retreating figure, summoned his magic power to conjure a pair of jet-black wings on his back, and flew towards Tianhuan Mountain.
