Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 932: The Indescribably Bitter Stone

Chapter 932: Chapter 932: The Indescribably Bitter Stone

Qin Sisi couldn’t help feeling inwardly moved by the Qing Ming Family’s imnse wealth. She had learned about the prices of Magic Crystal Stones from Fu Liuyou, and being able to acquire several stones at once truly showed a display of financial power!

She glanced at Ya Ling and then left Tianhuo Mountain to find a trial tower where she began practicing the Attribute Magic she was less proficient in.

Returning to the dormitory at night, she took out the Jiu Hua Divine Cauldron to practice forging technique. Although it was one of the days when she had more free ti, she still arranged it to be very fulfilling.

Then ca the Earth Magic Course. After practicing the Circular Burrow Escape, Linear Burrow Escape, and Broken Line Burrow Escape, Teacher Taitan set a new requirent—prohibiting them from sticking their heads out to check direction during the escape.

Except for Yun Cheng, almost everyone else found it difficult to discern the correct direction under the dark earth, always feeling slightly offset from the actual direction. Teacher Taitan’s goal was to gradually correct their sense of direction.

This class practiced Circular Burrow Escape because without visual aids, people tend to walk in curves when they think they are walking in straight lines, so walking in a circle is actually simpler than a straight line.

They returned to the sa clearing where they first practiced Earth Magic, with a fence in the middle housing more than a dozen temperantal Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses, snorting and glaring at them.

Rembering the terrifying face-off with the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros during the first Earth Magic class, the nine of them still had lingering fears. Fortunately, Teacher Taitan did not arrange a Demonic Beasts section this class.

For this class, Teacher Taitan demanded a task of circling the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses’ fence forty tis via Burrow Escape.

He drew a circle with a diater of three ters at the starting point. They were to begin here and also end here.

The feeling was that when you think you have reached the starting point, you would directly jump out, and only if you were within the circle would it count as one completed circuit, otherwise, it was void.

Before they began, Taitan specifically reminded his students that everyone would definitely feel lost at first. He warned them not to rely rely on their instincts, but also to pay attention to the sounds around them, the sll of the soil, and the texture of the earth to gauge their approximate location.

This class was destined to be a saddening lesson in magic.

Everyone experienced failure. After struggling to find what they thought was the correct location through various ans, they would grit their teeth, jump out, only to find they were not inside the circle.

If they were far from the circle, they could only sigh before adjusting their state and starting over.

If they were very close to the circle, the frustration was indescribably annoying.

With the task of forty circuits, even Yun Cheng made two errors, while mistakes from the others were often upwards of eight or ten tis.

Teacher Taitan sighed repeatedly but there was nothing he could do.

By evening, everyone had gradually completed their tasks, looking completely disheveled and dirty—or at least that was the best case. The most miserable were An Yun and Chu Ming, who had accidentally hit stones underground and ended up battered, with swollen noses and faces.

In their eagerness to complete the task, they didn’t even bother with Healing Magic, bearing it until the end.

Regardless, at least they finished before dark, and the class was sowhat effective.

Teacher Taitan gave a few more instructions and then let everyone leave to hurry back and shower and change clothes.

Qin Sisi hurriedly cleaned up after getting back to the dormitory, changed her clothes, and then rushed to the trial tower.

With the full support of the Qing Ming Family, Ya Ling could beco very strong without too much effort.

And yet, she did not have the substantial wealth to buy Magic Crystal Stones or elixirs for herself, and with Ye You not by her side, she could only rely on constant hard practice to improve her Magic Level.

She did not dare to slack off, afraid that the gap between herself and Ya Ling would grow wider and beco insurmountable.

The next class was Wind Magic, and this ti, finally, all the students stood on the practice field.

During the last lesson, Wen Xuan had used the Fixed Wind Bead given to him by Li Li. In Wind Valley, he successfully found two Hollow Spirit Spins and, after absorbing the Wind Spirit Power within, he finally activated his Wind Attribute.

Now, among this batch of students, the Wind Attribute had been activated in all of them, and Di Sa let out a sigh of relief, pleased that she could teach properly at last.

In the last lesson, the Wind Attribute Magic skill they learned was Thousand Wind Swirls, which was used to move large stones to a location thirty ters away.

This lesson was a review of Thousand Wind Swirls, and Teacher Di Sa required the students to complete the task twenty tis.

However, she specifically told Wen Xuan, "This is Wen Xuan’s first ti in class, do your best, but you must complete at least two. The part you lack, find so ti on a rest day to make it up in additional lessons."

This requirent was a very normal regulation, because the school did not want those students who activated variation attributes later to fall far behind the others, so they had to use the rest days to enhance their practice. Qin Sisi had done the sa in the Thunder Magic Course before.

Wen Xuan nodded and loudly replied, "Yes."

The practice began. From two tis in the last lesson to twenty tis in this lesson, everyone felt imnse pressure.

Qin Sisi paid attention to Ya Ling and noticed that she did not seem to be much more relaxed than in the last lesson. Ya Ling’s performance in the Earth Magic Course yesterday was also more or less the sa as before, which indicated that Ya Ling probably had not used Magic Crystal Stones or elixirs for these two attributes.

It seed that Magic Crystal Stones were indeed priceless; even the Qing Ming Family, with its vast wealth, couldn’t collect Magic Crystal Stones of all Magic Attributes.

This gave Qin Sisi a bit of relief, at least Ya Ling’s strength would not increase too rapidly, giving her ti to catch up.

Moving just two stones in the last lesson had already given everyone a tough ti, and moving twenty stones in this lesson was even more agonizing.

This was the first ti since joining Heaven Academy that everyone had practiced until late into the night.

Even Li Li, whose intrinsic attribute was the Wind Attribute, felt an unprecedented pressure.

It wasn’t until three or four in the morning that everyone managed to move all twenty stones to a location thirty ters away.

Li Li was still the first, Qing Pu was second, and Ya Ling was third; the High-level magic teachers were still a bit more capable.

Although Qin Sisi had the sa task volu as others this ti, regrettably, she ca in last, not including Wen Xuan, because her Wind Attribute had been activated more recently.

However, the gap between her and Chu Ming, who was second last, was very small, only about ten minutes apart.

Wen Xuan had just activated his Wind Attribute in the last lesson, and this was his first ti dealing with Wind Attribute Magic; he was very unskilled in operating it, and despite his full effort, he only completed eight tis when others had finished twenty, the sa amount as Qin Sisi managed in the last class, but it took him a bit longer than Qin Sisi.

Teacher Di Sa also stayed with them until midnight, knowing in her heart that increasing the task quota to twenty tis in the second lesson of learning a Magic skill was indeed sowhat difficult for them.

But there was no helping it, as only by enduring the toughest difficulties can one beco superior.

Every term has a set schedule, and ti must be seized to elevate their Magic Level to the targeted heights.
