Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 889: Open Confrontation and Hidden Schemes

Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Open Confrontation and Hidden Sches

After hearing Teacher Yusha’s words, the six of them silently took the Second Order Illusory Colored Dream Pigeons, but they all turned their heads away, not daring to look directly into their eyes.

Xiao ng couldn’t hold back and asked anxiously, "Teacher Yusha, what if... we can’t make it out?"

Yusha explained patiently, "Illusion Techniques aren’t endless, even if you can’t solve them, the Illusion Realm will automatically vanish when the ti is up."

Yun Cheng followed up and asked, "Then, how long does a Second Level Illusion Realm last?"

Yusha slightly lifted her chin, explaining calmly, "A First Level Illusion Realm can last one hour. With each increase in level, the duration multiplies. When it reaches the Ninth Level, the Illusion Realm can last up to two hundred fifty six hours."

All six faces showed surprised expressions. Two hundred fifty six hours, more than ten days—even if the caster of the illusion didn’t take the opportunity to strike a lethal blow, the person trapped in the Illusion Realm could be tortured to the point of ntal breakdown, eventually leading to an inevitable death.

But then again, whether it was for humans or Demonic Beasts, reaching the Ninth Level wasn’t sothing that could be done so easily.

According to Teacher Yusha, if a First Level Illusion Realm lasted one hour, then a Second Level Illusion Realm would last two hours. Even if they couldn’t solve it themselves, the Illusion Realm would disappear automatically after two hours, and they felt reassured they could physically endure that ti.

However, Teacher Yusha’s expression soon darkened, and her tone beca stern, "Don’t think you can relax just because it’s not a long ti. If soone wants you dead, a few seconds of ntal cloudiness is all it takes."

This statent made everyone, who had just relaxed a little, suddenly feel a deep chill. Indeed, every second was critical on the battlefield, and not a mont could be taken lightly—a few seconds were enough to determine the final victory or defeat.

Qin Sisi’s palms began to sweat. If it were so other attribute attack, she could handle it to so extent, but if she were unknowingly targeted by an Illusion Technique that caused her to lose consciousness, even for a mont, and then struck down, she feared she wouldn’t have the slightest chance to escape.

She began to understand Jing Jing’s fear of ng Yu. It was a deep-seated anxiety and unrest in one’s heart.

Those who had already activated the Illusion Attribute included Li Li, An Yun, and Ya Ling. She wasn’t worried about Li Li, but Ya Ling’s enmity towards her was clear, and she had to be cautious.

As for An Yun, he appeared to be a silent and hardworking young man, but Ye You had once specifically warned her to be careful of the Phantom Spirit family’s people, so she had to stay vigilant around him.

Thinking so much, Qin Sisi rubbed her temples in annoyance. She just wanted to study magic peacefully at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, yet she hadn’t expected to have to deal with so many hidden threats and open challenges.

After Teacher Yusha finished giving instructions, she left the magic classroom, and the six who hadn’t activated the Illusion Attribute sighed and could only lift the Second Order Illusory Colored Dream Pigeons in their hands, continuing to face the various unpredictable and inscrutable Illusion Realms.

Fortunately, once they discovered that Thunder Magic had a restraining effect on Illusion Techniques, everyone felt sowhat reassured. As long as one was ntally resilient and observant, able to quickly discern they were within an Illusion Realm and cast a Thunder Attribute Magic Skill, it could help one escape the Illusion Realm.

Overall, Qin Sisi, Qing Pu, and Yun Cheng perford better, while Xiao ng, Wen Xuan, and Chu Ming were slightly lacking.

Teacher Yusha didn’t force them to practice overnight; she let them off class at nine o’clock in the evening.

After dinner at the cafeteria, the six companions each returned to their dorms to rest, knowing that tomorrow’s Ice Magic course would be a significant challenge to overco.

Especially for An Yun and Chu Ming, who hadn’t activated their Ice Attribute, the experience of soaking in the Qinbing River was bitterly cold and unforgettable.

When Qin Sisi returned to her dormitory, she took out the Jiu Hua Divine Cauldron and forged two longswords with raw iron before going to bed to rest.

The Ice Magic course the next day was also a review session. Having attended many classes, she had gained a certain understanding of the teachers’ routines.

In the last Ice Magic class, they had learned two magic skills, the defense skill Zero Degree Ice Wall and the offensive skill All-around Snowflakes. After mastering them, they first ford a solid ice wall with the Zero Degree Ice Wall skill, then shattered their own creation using All-around Snowflakes.

For beginners, the normal workload was to perform the skills once, which would increase to ten tis in the second class. Qin Sisi and Li Li, still nursing injuries, practiced according to the regular workload, while Xiao ng, Ya Ling, and Wen Xuan had to complete the task twenty tis.

There were no shortcuts—only a continuous summoning of Ice Attribute magic power, defending first, then breaking the defense with an offensive skill.

Essentially attacking one’s own shield with one’s own spear, the process may have seed futile, but during this practice, proficiency in skills, the speed of summoning magic power, and the strength of Ice Attribute Spiritual Power all greatly increased.

By the afternoon, Qin Sisi had finished the task of performing the skills ten tis, and then she headed to the trial tower for further practice. Initially, she planned on practicing Thunder Magic, but upon reflection, decided to focus on Wood Magic as there would be opportunities to catch up on Thunder Magic during rest days and Wood Magic tasks seed more pressing.

She had not completed the workload for the last Wood Magic class, falling short by ten iron mane boars. If the next class demanded eighty, then she would have to face a total of ninety.

The number alone was daunting to Qin Sisi.

Therefore, she ultimately chose to go to the second floor of the trial tower to practice the Wood Attribute skill Grass Shines Sunshine.

The trial tower provided a small creature for practice, called the Wild Wolverine.

When the Wild Wolverine was released from the wall of the trial tower, it was already injured. The practitioner had to heal its wounds within a specified ti; if the ti elapsed, the Wild Wolverine would turn hostile and begin to attack the practitioner.

With the first Wild Wolverine, Qin Sisi managed to heal its wounds within the ti limit. Once healed, the Wild Wolverine disappeared, and then two more appeared simultaneously.

Qin Sisi healed the first one but ran out of ti while treating the second, which imdiately snapped at her hand with its jaws.

Struck by both pain and shock, Qin Sisi quickly jumped out of the red circle into a safe zone, thus concluding her first trial.

But the bite from the simulated Wild Wolverine resulted in a very real wound; blood flowed freely from Qin Sisi’s hand. She hastily used the Grass Shines Sunshine skill to treat her own injury, thankful it was just a flesh wound and not too severe.

After her wound healed, Qin Sisi resud the trial. This ti she was more focused and channeled Wood Attribute magic power with both hands, managing to heal both Wild Wolverines within the ti limit.

Nevertheless, the simultaneous appearance of four Wild Wolverines was an insurmountable hurdle; no matter how hard she tried, she was never able to heal all four within the ti allowed.
