Chapter 823: 823
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Qin Sisi let out a long sigh and turned to leave the practice hall. By now, the sky had darkened, and at the dormitory entrance, she ran into Xiao ng and Yun Cheng.
"Sister Sisi, did you go practice again? You’re really diligent!" Xiao ng guessed from the direction Qin Sisi ca from, and she had seen how hard Qin Sisi had been working these past few days.
Qin Sisi smiled without responding and instead asked, "Have you two eaten?"
Xiao ng nodded and replied, "We’ve eaten already. We had so vegetables in the cafeteria then had a lot of at. Teacher Huohuan gave everyone a big pot of at, and everyone had a feast this ti!"
As she spoke, Xiao ng playfully stuck out her tongue.
By letting the students take the stewed at ho, Teacher Huohuan’s image in the students’ hearts instantly beca towering and amiable.
"I’ve had at too," Qin Sisi said with a smile, "but I want so vegetables now. I won’t disturb you further; I’m off to the cafeteria."
Qin Sisi waved to Xiao ng and turned towards the cafeteria.
This ti, she did not see Grandma Mad in the cafeteria, but at the corner where Grandma Mad often stayed, there was a plate of food covered with a basin.
With the cafeteria empty, Qin Sisi knew the al must have been left for her by Grandma Mad, but after looking around, she did not see Grandma Mad anywhere.
Since Grandma Mad did not wish to et, Qin Sisi did not push for it and simply sat down to eat her al in peace.
Even after Qin Sisi finished eating and left, Grandma Mad never appeared.
For a long ti afterward, Qin Sisi did not see Grandma Mad at night, and during the day when a group was eating, she was always a fleeting presence, leaving Qin Sisi no chance to even greet her.
But every ti Qin Sisi went to the cafeteria late at night, there was always a nutritionally balanced and delicious al waiting for her in that corner, becoming the deepest warmth in her mory of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
Earth Magic lessons followed the Fire Magic classes, and when Qin Sisi and her classmates arrived at Tiantu Mountain, they imdiately saw the tall, formidable Teacher Taitan standing in front of the classroom.
Teacher Taitan wore a dark brown trench coat and matching trousers, his slightly curly dark brown hair and even his thick, long eyebrows that looked like an upside-down "八".
Since the teacher was standing outside the classroom, the students did not dare enter directly but instead greeted Teacher Taitan and stood not far from his side.
Teacher Taitan simply nodded slightly, saying nothing.
Only when everyone had arrived did Teacher Taitan clear his throat and say, "Everyone is here, let’s begin class. Follow ."
Leading the way, Teacher Taitan was followed by nine students in tow.
The group reached a large open space behind the classroom, surrounded by sturdy fences made of thick branches. Inside the fence, more than a dozen large Demonic Beasts were penned in.
Qin Sisi observed the beasts curiously for a while. They looked a lot like rhinoceroses. She quietly asked Xiao ng, who was beside her, "Are those rhinoceroses?"
Xiao ng nodded and replied, "Yes, the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros, with its thick skin and flesh, a violent temper, and powerful aggression, is particularly difficult to provoke."
Everyone looked at these Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses, completely puzzled, not knowing what kind of magic course Teacher Taitan planned to arrange for them.
Teacher Taitan, with a proud look in his eyes, said loudly, "I believe you have all studied the Earth Escape Skill, so today we won’t learn new skills, but will practice the Earth Escape Skill. The practice ground will be inside the enclosure of the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses.
Every one of you must first burrow into the earth and then circle around this enclosure ten tis, finally entering it, and while the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses are not paying attention, climb onto their backs. You don’t need to stay long, just one second to pass the test.
Ya Ling, Xiao ng, Qin Sisi, Teacher Yusha has instructed that your training tasks for the first month must be doubled, so you will need to circle twenty tis in the earth."
After Teacher Taitan finished arranging the course, everyone except Yun Cheng, whose intrinsic attributes were Earth Attribute, showed a look of great shock.
It turned out that not only Qin Sisi but others also felt that the Earth Escape Technique was too unsanitary, always leaving them covered in dirt and looking disheveled, so they hadn’t practiced it diligently after learning it.
Teacher Taitan started with such a high-difficulty task that it posed a challenge for almost everyone.
Teacher Taitan, seeing the students’ troubled faces, patiently explained, "Don’t think that Earth Attribute Magic is unsanitary. With continuous practice, your body will integrate better with the Fire Attribute, and your skills will beco more proficient. Once you reach a certain level, dirt and dust won’t stick to your body at all. And don’t underestimate the Earth Escape Skill; at a critical mont, it can save your life."
After that, he took out nine different colored badges from his storage ring and distributed them to the students to wear on their clothes.
Then Teacher Taitan shouted loudly, "Don’t think about just barely scraping by. I can see the trajectory of these badges. Anyone who dares to slack off or play tricks will have their training doubled.
If you really can’t distinguish the directions, you can pop your head out to take a look, but be careful: if you show yourself inside the fence, the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses won’t be pleased.
Get ready, begin!"
As soon as his words fell, Yun Cheng took the lead with a light leap and disappeared into the earth.
Qin Sisi recalled the key points and precautions of the Earth Escape Skill, and then she stimulated her Earth Attribute Magic Power within her body, took a deep breath, and burrowed into the earth.
Inside the soil, it was pitch black, impossible to use vision, and relying on feeling to discern direction was prone to errors.
Qin Sisi felt lost in the earth for a mont, unsure of how to determine the correct direction.
After a while, she realized she could hear so intermittent muffled sounds. After careful analysis, she was almost certain that those were the footsteps of the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses.
Qin Sisi rembered from her studies that solids transmit sound better than air, so despite the sounds being muffled in the earth, they were very clear, making it easy to discern the direction from which they ca.
Relying on the sounds she heard, she began to move forward slowly. The variations in the volu of the sound indicated the distance, and as long as she stayed within this approximate range of sound, she shouldn’t go wrong.
To confirm her judgnt, Qin Sisi occasionally popped her head out along the way. Fortunately, each ti her position was outside the fence, sotis closer, other tis farther, but generally in the right direction.
Before Qin Sisi had completed even half a circuit, she heard Teacher Taitan’s booming voice, "Yun Wang has completed one lap."
Qin Sisi sighed helplessly, knowing there was already a gap in magic level, and with the doubled task, it seed she was destined to be last today.
