Chapter 917: Chapter 917: The Difficult Stone
Di Sa walked back and forth around them with his hands clasped behind his back, loudly saying, "The task for this lesson is to use the Thousand Wind Swirls skill to move the stones beyond the white line. Since you’ve already had two lessons, we can’t start from the beginning. Of course, my requirents are not high, succeeding twice will suffice. Li Li needs to succeed four tis, Qin Sisi needs to succeed eight tis, begin!"
After hearing Teacher Di Sa’s requirents, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a new skill, fortunately, the number of attempts required was few, so they should be able to finish class early today.
However, once they began practicing, they realized they had underestimated the difficulty.
They tried many tis, but the wind spirit power they released was not powerful enough to lift the stones.
With continuous practice, the wind attribute crystal core within their Magic Source beca increasingly stable and powerful.
An hour later, they finally managed to intermittently lift the stones off the ground, but the height was too low to throw them out.
Soone tried to throw the stone to the left at that height, but due to the insufficient height, after the stone landed, it was still a long distance away from the white line drawn by Teacher Di Sa.
This not only failed to complete the task but also wasted a lot of magical power.
They finally gave up on useless efforts and seriously tried to lift the stone initially.
Until two hours later, the strongest among them, Li Li and Qing Pu, barely managed to lift the stone to the height Teacher Di Sa required, while others were still strenuously trying to lift the stone higher.
Li Li and Qing Pu almost simultaneously threw the stones out. The stones traced a parabolic path in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.
Li Li and Qing Pu followed the trajectory of the stones with their eyes, but unfortunately, the landing spots of both stones were within the white line.
Li Li’s stone was only about one ter from the white line, while Qing Pu’s was even further.
Both sighed, withdrew their gazes, adjusted their breathing, and fetched another stone to start over.
Qin Sisi’s wind attribute had been activated for the shortest ti and theoretically had the weakest wind spirit power.
However, after absorbing a third-grade wind attribute magic crystal stone, her wind spirit power received a significant enhancent.
Even though she couldn’t match high-level magic teachers like Li Li, Qing Pu, and Ya Ling, the gap wasn’t big compared to Chu Ming and Yun Cheng.
After Li Li and Qing Pu managed to lift the stone to a sufficient height, they continuously threw out four stones, finally managing to throw a stone across the white line, successfully completing the task once.
By then, Qin Sisi and others gradually mastered the knack and could lift the stone to a higher position.
However, a new problem arose; lifting the stone as the first action consud quite a bit of magical power. When they tried throwing the stone to the left, they imdiately felt a shortage of spirit power.
Thus, the Spirit Revitalizing Pill taught by Mo Liu teacher during the alchemy class ca into use, and everyone took out Spirit Revitalizing Pills from their storage rings to replenish their spirit power.
Ya Ling, who had been careless and sloppy during the alchemy class, was now suffering the consequences.
After consuming one Spirit Revitalizing Pill, others could recover about one-fifth of their magical power, while Xiao ng’s higher-quality pill recovered even more.
However, when Ya Ling took her Spirit Revitalizing Pill, the Magic Source barely reacted.
In a panic, Ya Ling swallowed five Spirit Revitalizing Pills and barely managed to regain one-third of her magical power.
There was no helping it; everyone else’s Spirit Revitalizing Pills were crafted strictly following Teacher Mo Liu’s requirents, practicing many tis and only finished the class after successfully crafting a pill with a clear pattern.
The pattern on Ya Ling’s Spirit Revitalizing Pills was very vague, and naturally, the effect on recovering magical power was poor.
Magic Teacher Mo Liu actually wanted her to practice more, but Ya Ling had no interest in alchemy and just wanted to get it over with.
Mo Liu loved alchemy as if it were his life, and he treated alchemy with utmost rigor and care. Ya Ling’s indifferent attitude greatly displeased Mo Liu, so he simply let her develop on her own.
Now, when others had succeeded in throwing stones beyond the white line with the help of the Spirit Revitalizing Pill, restoring their magic power, Ya Ling had failed due to insufficient magic power and had to continue practicing laboriously.
Once a beginner, twice familiar. After succeeding for the first ti, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the Thousand Wind Swirls magic skill, making the subsequent practice much smoother.
Li Li was the fastest, but since she had double the task amount, Qing Pu was the first to finish class and leave.
Then, Xiao ng, Yun Cheng, An Yun, and Chu Ming successively succeeded twice in throwing the stones beyond the white line.
Among those who did the normal amount of tasks, Ya Ling was the last to complete it.
She begrudgingly bid farewell to Teacher Di Sa and left Tianfeng Mountain listlessly.
Li Li took seven and a half hours for four tis the task amount, while Qin Sisi was slightly slower than Li Li, taking sixteen hours for eight tis the task amount.
Just after midnight, she finally managed to throw the eighth stone beyond the white line.
Qin Sisi watched the stone cross the white line and heavily hit the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, with countless tiny dust particles scattering in the light of the Luminous Pearl.
"Alright, you can finish class now," Teacher Di Sa’s voice rang out from not far away.
Qin Sisi had initially asked Teacher Di Sa to rest, but he refused; he insisted on staying here to personally witness Qin Sisi completing eight tis the task amount.
Qin Sisi knew that Teacher Di Sa was observing her, so she deliberately avoided overthinking and focused her mind solely on practicing Thousand Wind Swirls.
Hearing Teacher Di Sa’s words, Qin Sisi slowly turned to look at him, but she felt she didn’t even have the energy to say "goodbye."
In the end, she gave Teacher Di Sa a slight nod and left Tianfeng Mountain wearily.
When too tired, even if very hungry, you don’t feel like eating.
Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont but still went to the cafeteria. Long hours of practice hugely depleted her physical strength, so eating was necessary.
When she finally lay comfortably in bed, she replayed the day’s events in her mind.
No matter what, she had completed the tasks today, and she felt pretty good about herself, wondering what kind of assessnt Teacher Di Sa would give her.
She also felt quite confident about tomorrow’s Thunder Magic Course.
Then, she thought of Ye You.
It was night now; Ye You had already turned into a cat, probably curling up into a small ball and asleep by now!
Qin Sisi slowly closed her eyes, and in her dreams, a black cat with shining fur lay quietly beside her, accompanying her in sleep.
In the distant Biyuan Forest, Ye You, who was practicing alchemy, suddenly sneezed.
He raised his paw to rub his nose and turned his head to look at the entrance of the cave, which was pitch black, devoid of even moonlight.
He sighed softly, silently calling Qin Sisi’s na in his heart.
I know you’re thinking of , because I’m thinking of you too.
