Chapter 914: Chapter 914 A Chance
Teacher Yinxi, watching from behind, flashed a look of appreciation in her eyes at Qin Sisi’s performance.
Though she had failed several tis in a row, Qin Sisi succeeded on her first attempt, which only intensified Ya Ling’s sense of injustice.
Gritting her teeth in secret, Ya Ling gathered her focus to summon the magic power once again, spurring the Fire Attribute Crystal Core to conjure a much larger fla than before, then with a fierce push of both palms, the massive fireball was launched toward the wooden post.
The dazzling flas struck a wooden post forcefully, and this ti, it didn’t disappoint her; the post finally caught ablaze with roaring fire.
Upon seeing her success in igniting the post, Ya Ling smiled widely with joy, yet the next second she heard Teacher Yinxi’s voice from behind: "Hurry up and release the Bursting Water Bullets, your fire is too big, and if it burns for too long, the post will be consud."
With a snicker, Xiao ng couldn’t help but laugh aloud beside her.
Although the others didn’t laugh out loud, the corners of their eyes and lips couldn’t help but reveal a smile involuntarily.
Teacher Yinxi had ntioned this on the very first lesson: the flas produced by the Fire Ignition Skill must be moderate in size, not too large, nor too small; too small and it wouldn’t ignite, too large and the post would be damaged before the Bursting Water Bullets could extinguish the flas.
Ignoring her irritation, Ya Ling quickly summoned the Water Attribute Magic Power to release Bursting Water Bullets.
However, smug about her status as a high-ranking magic instructor and the privileged daughter of the Qing Ming Family, she believed in her exceptional talent and thought she didn’t need to work too hard—a little studying would suffice. As a result, she hadn’t practiced her Water Attribute Magic Skills diligently outside of class.
Half a month had passed since the last session where she used Bursting Water Bullets, and so rustiness was inevitable; Ya Ling repeatedly failed to extinguish the flas on the post.
Just as she gathered Water Attribute Magic Power and prepared for another attempt, the fla on the post suddenly waned, reducing to a few tiny sparks.
The fire too great, the post was finally burned away.
Ya Ling looked disappointedly at the charred remains of the post, feeling both miserable and wronged. After dwelling in self-pity, she pushed all the bla onto Qin Sisi.
She resented Qin Sisi for successfully igniting the post on her first try, which she felt disrupted her focus, causing her to waste magic power lighting a post for nothing.
She glared at Qin Sisi with bitterness, before attempting to calm her mind, and continued to practice.
Posts were being ignited one by one, then extinguished one after another.
The task in the previous lesson was ten posts, and in this lesson, it was twenty, doubling the workload. However, the ti taken was not twice as long as the last; most people completed it in an additional two to three hours.
Qin Sisi knew that although they did not feel a significant increase in Magic Power, with each practice session, both the overall level of Magic Power and each familiar type of Magic Power were continuously improving.
And having absorbed so energy from the Magic Crystal Stones, she should improve faster than others.
But facing the task of eighty posts, Qin Sisi wasn’t confident. She could only tell herself to give her all and, if in the end, she truly couldn’t finish, she would think of another solution.
Basing on the last lesson when Teacher Yinxi instructed her to bathe in the Floating Dream Hot Springs and provided her with the Jade Water from Tranquil Pond, Qin Sisi was convinced that she wasn’t heartless.
In the afternoon, one by one, people completed their tasks and left Tianshui Mountain; once again, Qin Sisi was the only one remaining at the practice ground.
The quiet surroundings and her solitary efforts did not breed anxiety within her; instead, her spirit grew even more serene and undaunted.
She skillfully used the Fire Ignition Skill to light the wooden stakes, then released the Bursting Water Bullets magic skill to extinguish the burning stakes.
Qin Sisi has beco adept at using the Fire Ignition Skill, and with the power of Divine Fire, she could basically succeed each ti.
However, the Bursting Water Bullets were a bit more challenging, and her ability was still insufficient to put out the flas on the stakes in one go, requiring several attempts to do so.
As the sky gradually darkened, Yin Xi placed four huge Luminous Pearls at the four corners of the practice field, casting a warm glow that brightly illuminated the nearby area.
Qin Sisi gratefully said, "Thank you, Teacher Yinxi, you should go rest!"
Yin Xi did not decline, and in a gentle tone, she said, "Alright, keep up the good work, I will co over again tomorrow morning."
After speaking, Yin Xi turned and left.
Qin Sisi watched Teacher Yinxi leave, then looked down at her feet, where the light from the four Luminous Pearls cast four shadows, but as the light diffused, each shadow beca faint.
A cool, damp breeze from the nearby lake wafted over, carrying the soft sounds of water that flowed in the night.
Qin Sisi took a deep breath, and with a gentle lift of her palm, a golden fla shot out toward a stake a hundred ters away. With a whoosh, the stake instantly ignited with bright flas, the dazzling light making the four Luminous Pearls seem dim.
The night grew increasingly dense, reaching its zenith before gradually lightening. The sun set in the west, and after a night’s rest, rose again from the east, bringing new light and hope.
At seven in the morning, Yin Xi returned to the practice field, and asked Qin Sisi to stop practicing. She gently inquired, "How many did you do?"
Qin Sisi replied apologetically, "Teacher Yinxi, I’m sorry, I’ve only completed fifty-five."
Yin Xi nodded, comforting her with warm words, "Don’t feel sorry, managing to complete fifty-five in the third lesson is actually quite good."
"But..." Qin Sisi glanced at Yin Xi, hesitating to continue.
Teacher Yusha once said that if she couldn’t complete it, she shouldn’t continue staying at the Heaven Academy.
Qin Sisi wondered how Teacher Yinxi would handle this situation.
Even though Qin Sisi believed that Teacher Yinxi was a kind-hearted person, at this mont, she couldn’t help feeling anxious. If the teachers united against her and wanted to expel her from Heaven Academy, she truly had no ans to resist.
Fortunately, what Qin Sisi feared did not co to pass.
Yin Xi spoke indifferently, "I heard that Teacher Ru Lin gave you a chance to make up for what you missed next class, and I can give you that opportunity as well."
Qin Sisi’s heart, which had been in turmoil, finally settled, and she quickly responded, "Thank you, Teacher Yinxi, I will definitely complete it next class."
After the unease ca a pleasant surprise, sothing good was happening, but Qin Sisi felt her eyes getting teary.
Yin Xi looked at Qin Sisi and sighed, "Co on, I’ll take you to the Floating Dream Hot Spring."
After a day and night of strenuous practice, Qin Sisi needed to relax and rest properly, otherwise, she simply had no energy to face the next magic class.
