Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 935: The Crow’s Hang-Up

Chapter 935: Chapter 935: The Crow’s Hang-Up

The championship was snatched away, leaving the proud Ya Ling unable to contain her anger.

What chilled her heart even further was that her aunt, Ge Lanxue—her father’s cousin—not only did not favor her, but even scolded her in front of the whole class.

Ya Ling stood there, almost crying out of grievance.

Li Li, who had already completed the task, gave her a cold glance and turned away with an indifferent expression.

At this ti, Qing Pu walked up to Ya Ling and comforted her softly: "Miss Ya Ling, you shattered the Freezing Wall with All-around Snowflakes, and thus you have completed the task. Second place is also quite impressive. Victory and defeat are common in the military; one or two instances don’t show much. Perhaps in the next class, you’ll be able to take back first place."

With soone to comfort her, and that soone being the handsost boy in class, in her opinion, Ya Ling’s mood improved a little. She sniffled and said, "I know."

After that, she walked over to her Freezing Wall, summoned her Ice Attribute magic power, and released the Magic skill of All-around Snowflakes, fiercely shattering the Freezing Wall.

Then, without saying a word and without looking back, she left the magic classroom.

Ge Lanxue watched Ya Ling’s retreating figure and sighed helplessly.

Following Li Li’s and Ya Ling’s departures, others also completed their tasks one after another, leaving Qin Sisi by herself at last.

It was another sleepless night for her, full of hardship, exhaustion, and loneliness.

By the break of dawn, she ultimately failed to complete the task eighty tis.

However, her improvent was evident. The Ice Attribute Magic Crystal Stone that Ye You had given her had greatly enhanced her Ice Attribute Spirit Power. This class, she completed the task sixty tis, twenty more than the previous class.

The remaining twenty tis would have to be left for the next class, Qin Sisi silently clenched her teeth, knowing the next Ice Magic course would be crucial. It seed she needed to find a way to boost her Ice Attribute Spirit Power, or the next class would likely be difficult.

Difficulty was bearable, but the fear was in going through hardships and gaining nothing in return.

The upcoming Music Magic class was relaxing and joyful for Qin Sisi. The process of playing music not only improved her Music Attribute Spirit Power, but the beautiful music also brought pleasure to both body and mind.

Five students, including Xiao ng, had not yet activated their Music Attribute, so they were once again confined in a huge transparent enclosure for this Music Magic class, with the task of hypnotizing forty snakes.

Qin Sisi, Wen Xuan, Li Li, and Qing Pu, the four who had already activated their Music Attribute, proceeded to the spots Teacher Yirou had arranged for them on Tianyin Mountain to play the lody of Floral Butterfly Dance, tasked with attracting forty butterflies.

Although the task amount doubled, Qin Sisi did not feel much pressure. The ti it took her to attract twenty butterflies in the last class was not too long, so forty should not be too difficult.

The Half Moon zither music was clear and lodious, touching, and without taking much ti, colorful butterflies fluttered over gracefully.

Qin Sisi slowly closed her eyes, with only her fingers continuously plucking the strings. The surrounding sounds of wind and water fell into silence, leaving only the beautiful lody of the zither resonating in the ears.

In the end, Wen Xuan was first, and Qin Sisi ca in second.

Although Qin Sisi was still behind Wen Xuan, Teacher Yirou saw it clearly: the ti gap between the two for completing the sa amount of tasks was gradually narrowing.

In other words, Qin Sisi’s progress was faster than Wen Xuan’s.

Li Li ca in third but she just nodded indifferently, seemingly unconcerned about her performance.

Teacher Yirou knew that although Li Li had a decent talent, her mind might not be completely focused on Music Magic.

Qing Pu ranked fourth, and he took much longer than the others.

This ti, he didn’t summon crows again, but based on his performance in the Ice Magic course, he shouldn’t have taken this long.

Teacher Yirou knew that the concern she had was happening; those two crows had created a ntal block for Qing Pu.

He saw it as a humiliation, and in future music performances, he would tread carefully, walking on thin ice, preferring to do poorly or even not at all, rather than allowing such mockery to happen again.

In such a state, his mood would be tense, unable to rge harmoniously with the music and thus unable to fully unleash the power of Music Magic.

When Qing Pu learned of his results, his face turned very gloomy.

Even Qin Sisi noticed that Qing Pu had lost confidence in his developnt of Music Magic.

When he lost belief in his own abilities, gradually, he indeed beca incapable of accomplishing them.

Teacher Yirou specifically spent more ti talking with Qing Pu, comforting and encouraging him a lot, but most of the ti Qing Pu remained silent.

The issue of a ntal block ultimately depends on oneself to overco.

Even though Teacher Yirou knew that Qing Pu had a problem, other than comforting and encouraging him, she couldn’t think of another way to help him.

After receiving guidance from Mr. Chen Song, Qin Sisi, and Wen Xuan, Xiao ng and the other four improved their understanding of music significantly.

However, hypnotizing forty snakes was still a daunting task for those who hadn’t yet activated their Music Attribute.

When Xiao ng and the others completed the task and left Tianyin Mountain, the sky had already darkened.

After finishing her own task, Qin Sisi went to advise Xiao ng and the others, gave them a few tips, then went to practice at the trial tower, and after returning to the dormitory, she practiced her forging skills—it was yet another busy day.

Of course, in the Alchemy course that followed, Xiao ng stood out from the rest.

Teacher Mo Liu rarely praised anyone, but he complinted Xiao ng a few tis, saying that her talent was not inferior to Jing Jing’s; with diligent practice, she would achieve great things in ti.

Overjoyed by the praise, Xiao ng naturally perford even better in Alchemy.

Although Qin Sisi only had average talent in Wood Magic, she made up for it with her ticulous and earnest attitude; the first pattern on the elixirs she refined was very clear, and so even faintly showed a second pattern, making her performance average among the nine.

Ya Ling held hostility towards Qin Sisi, which extended to disliking Xiao ng as well. Seeing Teacher Mo Liu praise Xiao ng, Ya Ling couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

After realizing the importance of elixirs in other Magic courses, Ya Ling had originally planned to be slightly more serious during the Alchemy classes to refine so elixirs for replenishing Spiritual Power.

But under the aggravation, the quality of the elixirs she refined was still frustrating; although the first pattern was much clearer than before, it was still rather blurry overall, while the elixirs Xiao ng had refined already had a distinct second pattern.

After Ya Ling submitted her elixirs, Teacher Mo Liu, staying true to his responsibility as a teacher, pointed out so of Ya Ling’s shortcomings and emphasized the precautions to take during Alchemy.

Others received praise, she faced criticism, and Ya Ling felt as if her chest was stuffed with cotton, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
