Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Both Partners and Rivals
As November arrived, the weather began to turn cold. On the way back from visiting the Panhu family during the rest day, Xiao ng dragged Qin Sisi to a clothing store to buy so thicker garnts.
Watching the fallen leaves being blown about by the cold wind, Qin Sisi felt a sense of ti swiftly passing.
The three-day break ended in the blink of an eye, and the sixth round of studies comnced.
With more than half the sester’s courses complete, the workload had increased substantially along with the start of the second half, and everyone was busier and more hard-pressed than ever.
The workload for the Golden Magic course, as Teacher Wuduo demanded, was to use the Vigor Gold Knife Magic Skill to cleave through one hundred and twenty large stones.
From one stone in the first lesson to one hundred and twenty in the sixth, the workload had increased by over a hundredfold.
In another sense, this also ant that their Magic Level had improved significantly since their arrival.
If they had been faced with these one hundred and twenty stones at the beginning, none of the nine would have believed they could do it, but now, they were confident the task was within their capabilities.
However, the practice process was guaranteed to be exhausting and arduous, with sweat drenching their backs—even Qin Sisi, who currently possessed the most powerful Gold attribute Magic Power, didn’t finish until nine at night, and the others finished even later.
But no one complained of hardship or exhaustion like they did at the start. As ti passed, the nine of them had co to understand so things—they were classmates and partners, but also competitors.
Only by continually striving to excel could they win special recognition from their teachers and secure a position in their families, thereby obtaining a better future and more room for growth.
The sprouting of this competitive consciousness had everyone on edge, hoping to achieve better results.
The Wood Magic Course still involved outdoor training in the Luoying Forest of Tianmu Mountain, and this ti, Teacher Ru Lin’s demanded task was fifty iron mane boars.
Xiao ng, whose intrinsic attributes were of the Wood Attribute, naturally took the undisputed first place, while Qin Sisi was at an average level.
During the Water Magic Course, the Magic skill being practiced was Bursting Water Bullets, and Teacher Yin Xi’s required task was also one hundred and twenty tis.
With the Golden Magic course experience before them, everyone was confident about this task, though they had to use the Fire Ignition Skill to light up wooden stakes a hundred ters away before firing the water bullets, which required so additional ti.
The first to complete was Qing Pu, whose intrinsic attributes were of the Water Attribute, and he finished at around ten in the evening. Qin Sisi was also at an average level in the Water Magic Course.
The Fire Magic Course involved Magic Fla lting Gold, which, unlike Vigor Gold Knife and Bursting Water Bullets, was not an explosive Magic skill. It required continuous application over so ti, consuming more Magic Power.
Teacher Huohuan deliberately waited until the class’s Magic Level was slightly higher in the second lesson before formally teaching it—the workload for this course fell one lesson behind the others.
In this lesson, Teacher Huohuan required the use of Magic Fla lting Gold Magic Skill to lt seventy iron weights.
In the previous lessons, Qin Sisi had displayed exceptional natural talent in Fire Attribute Magic, making her first place in the eyes of everyone else seem like a matter of course.
Qin Sisi herself could feel that as ti went by and her Magic Power grew, she and the Golden Tower Phantom Crystal were becoming more in sync.
While she was casting Magic Fla lting Gold, she could even feel the Golden Tower Phantom Crystal releasing a warm flow into her body, significantly strengthening her Fire Attribute Magic Power.
The Earth Magic Course was still focused on practicing Earth Escape Skill.
This ti, Teacher Taitan’s requirent was to perform Broken Line Burrow Escape without poking one’s head out to check the path.
At each turn, a specific range was demarcated, and Taitan had also moved a small tree with different colored markers hanging on them.
Each ti one erged from the ground, it had to be within the designated range; otherwise, it was considered a failure.
Upon returning, one had to exceed the white line at the starting point, or it was also deed a failure.
Once back, the markers collected at the turn points had to be handed to Teacher Taitan, and only with none missing would it be considered a successful pass.
The required number of attempts was one hundred and twenty.
They had all learned this skill before—the Earth Academy teachers only required that students could burrow safely underground, travel a certain distance, and surface safely to consider it mastered.
Qin Sisi’s Burrow Escape had been learned from Ye You, and Li Li had only learned a bit of the basics from Jiu Ge.
None of them had thought that such an ordinary skill could be complicated by Teacher Taitan to such a degree, with each attempt being more difficult than the last—people with poor natural sense of direction would be driven mad.
Qin Sisi was one of those with a poor sense of direction, but Fire Attribute could sowhat enhance the Earth Attribute, so her Earth Attribute Magic Power was not bad. After practicing in several previous lessons, she had also mastered quite a few tricks.
Importantly, she was very self-aware, knowing that in the Demon Sacred Realm, she was just a small character with a very low Magic Level.
But Ye You was not a minor character—she was going to accomplish great things together with him, and if they encountered formidable enemies they couldn’t provoke, the best way to save their own lives would be to run away.
So, she took learning Earth Magic very seriously, feeling that Burrow Escape skill could one day be her lifesaver.
As expected, the first place went to Yun Cheng, whose intrinsic attributes were of the Earth Attribute. Qin Sisi, like last ti, was pleased to obtain the second place for herself.
The third was Li Li, who had average Earth Attribute Magic Power but was ultimately stronger as she was a High-level magic teacher.
Qing Pu and Ya Ling ranked just after Li Li—indeed, they could have perford better if they were more dedicated and serious. However, both the noble son and the rich daughter disliked the feeling of burrowing in the dirt, feeling it damaged their image. They subconsciously placed Earth Magic outside their future specialization and, as a result, they beca lax.
For the Wind Magic Course, the Magic skill to practice was Thousand Wind Swirls, and the task assigned by Teacher Di Sa was to move seventy stones.
After practicing during several lessons, everyone beca familiar with the Magic Skill of Thousand Wind Swirls and mastered its tricks, no longer feeling the stones in front of them as immovable as the first ti.
However, the practice session lasted into the evening, and in the end, Li Li, who had Wind Attribute as her intrinsic attributes, took first place, with Qing Pu second and Ya Ling third.
Qin Sisi ca in seventh—not a good result, but she had reduced her ti by twenty minutes compared to Chu Ming from the last class.
Teacher Di Sa watched all this unfold, saying nothing more, but well aware that Qin Sisi was consistently improving.
