If it wasnt for that, Lin Xiao almost forgot that Shen DaiYing was trained in the Eastern Tribes number one assassination technique. There was no one better than her at sneak attacks.
Others may not know, but Lin Xiao knew well.
A seventh-level warrior bodyguard, a high-level ice magician that specialized in taking care of assassins, and Great Sage Hobson.. all three that Shen DaiYing assassinated were tough, yet she still successfully completed her mission and took their lives.
Compared to those assassinations, these younglings were still too soft.
After cleaving that arrow in half, Shen DaiYing already completed treated those four as enemies, she never holds back against enemies.
With a gentle kick of her high heels, she disappeared from her original spot, and in the next second appeared next to the archer, who was the furthest from her.
Who knows how the hell she got over there.
Then with a re normal cut, the pitiful archer didnt even have ti to react before he was struck.
The head male student was trembling from head to toe, he had his mouth hung open but couldnt say anything. He could only pitifully look at Shen DaiYing trying to plead for his teammates life.
Shen DaiYing indeed did not land the killing blow, she just helplessly sighed, ignored the wailing archer and placed her hand on Snows shaft like she was hinting sothing.
The head student imdiately understood Shen DaiYings aning.
He hurried next to the archer, not to tend to his wounds, he searched around and finally found a rectangular blue crystal.
We surrender! T-this is our crystal. He was dripping in cold sweat while handing over the crystal in his trembling hands. He was unable to take his eyes off her sword, afraid that she would be unsatisfied and cut him down.
The rules stipulated that as soon as the opponent surrenders and hands over their crystals, then they cant continue to attack.
But the problem is that there were no judges on Despair Island.
Although the competition prohibited slaughtering, swords were without eyes, and no one can guarantee that they can walk out alive. This was also why Caesar didnt want Rosie participating.
This cruel competition is too ruthless to Rosie.
Shen DaiYing didnt really have any pity, her sword was originally going for his neck, if it wasnt because she changed her mind, this archers head would have already been soplace else.
If she killed him, would Lin Xiao be angry?
Shen DaiYing was afraid that Lin Xiao would see through her pretense.
If she wasnt a respected princess in Lin Xiaos eyes, but a ruthless killer, then surely he wouldnt like her anymore, right? Even though she had no way of responding to his feelings, she didnt want to disappoint him.
So this is the crystal? Shen DaiYing blinked at his offering and didnt react to it.
Right, this is the crystal! You also have the sa one, you can get 10 plunder points from absorbing ours, so we admit defeat! He thought that Shen DaiYing was purposely making things hard for him, so he started sobbing a bit while begging for rcy.
Oh, plunder points, huh. Shen DaiYing understood then nodded her chin towards a black-haired youth, Give it to him.
Him? Oh, o-okay! The male student hesitated, then imdiately ran over.
He was kind of bewildered, he thought that the crystal would be on this strong and valiant beauty, who would have thought that diocre youth was safekeeping it.
Usually, the person managing the crystal would be the core of the team, the strongest, or the one they had confidence in. Yet, not only did that black-haired youth not look strong, he also didnt seem like the leader with his drowsy appearance, why give the crystal to him?
Dont be nervous, give the crystal to . Lin Xiao calmly beckoned him over and took the crystal.
Of course Lin Xiao could tell what he was thinking.
Indeed, he never thought of being the team leader, and wasnt the strongest in the team (at least he pretends not to be), but who says those were the conditions required in safekeeping the crystal?
Leave the crystal to ! Thats the safest way. Im a magician and wont rush into the frontlines, and I also have to protect my maid during a fight, so as soon as one starts, attack the enemy with in the center and Ill be responsible for providing fire support. Thats why theres no one more suited than to safe keep the crystal!
That was what Lin Xiao said when they landed, it made sense and everyone believed it, it was sound logic, so everyone agreed.
But one person saw through Lin Xiaos thoughts, Elena.
Theres no one more suited than him? What a joke.
Why should he be the center? Why can he hide in the backlines providing support and Caesar has to rush up and risk his lives fighting with others?
Whats wrong with Caesar? isnt he just a bit frank, a bit warlike, why should he be treated as a worker?
The reason he wanted the crystal was because he wanted to slack off, and could hide in the backlines during a fight.
And whats that about protecting her, shes just his shield, right Elena felt uncomfortable, if it wasnt for him constantly giving her looks, Elena would have exposed him on the spot!
Hmm, let see how this works.
After taking the crystal, he began seriously studying it. That male student ram back to the archer in a fluster and began helping him treat his wounds with Shen DaiYings suggestion.
Lin Xiao held his crystal in his left hand and the crystal they just plundered in his right, and tried injecting so magic towards his right hand.
Magic flowed out of his fingertips and the two crystals quickly emitted a faint blue light, and started shaking faster and more frequently.
Soon after, the crystal in his right hand cracked without any warning. A faint blue light of energy seeped through the cracks and was absorbed by the other crystal.
Oh, oh, the scores increasing! Lin Xiao discovered changes to the blue crystal in his left hand along with the absorption of blue energy.
A few white ribbons erged inside the translucent blue crystal, it slowly circulated inside like a liquid, finally forming a clear number.
10 points!
They plundered 10 points, if they collect that silver leaf fruit from earlier, then itll be a total of 11 points. 11 points right off the bat, it could be said to be very lucky, but unfortunate for the other team.
They lost their crystal and one mber was immobilized, they undoubtedly lost the qualifications to compete and had to leave the island imdiately.
Soon after, a small boat approached, it was the boat that was carrying Luren Academy.
Strange, how did the Luren Academy teacher get here so quickly, how do they know that the team lost? Shen DaiYing leisurely walked back to Lin Xiaos side with a smile, as if it wasnt her who just cut soones stomach open.
Its probably the effect of the crystal. Lin Xiao looked at the shattered crystal within his right hand and rembered Woos recount.
Other than the small crystal in their hand, there was a huge crystal on the shore of the camp, over a ter tall. All of their hundreds of crystals were recorded on there and they resonated with each other.
If any of the small crystals were plundered, they would shatter into useless stone, and at the sa ti, the crystal at the camp would resonate and change, so all the teachers from the academy could know what was going on with their teams while standing at the shore.
After knowing of the teams loss, the teacher would head towards the island with a judge imdiately, and quickly pick up the defeated students.
Teacher, were here! Teacher!
They were unable to understand how a long legged harmless-looking beauty could cut open soones stomach.
Since they cant understand, then they might as well not think about it. They quickly picked up the injured teammate and ran towards the shore, waving their hands and shouting for help.
As soon as the boat arrived, they jumped onboard without saying anything further, like they were escaping with their lives. While they were leaving, they stared at the beauty wearing black silk stockings with trepidation, like they just had a nightmare.
Sigh why couldnt we just get along? Look how bad getting eliminated feels. Lin Xiao sighed while looking at the departing losers.
He turned around to look at Shen DaiYing and wanted to say sothing, but after seeing her affectionate eyes, he could only turn his anger towards Caesar.
And so, that was how it all began.
Caesar, I think we should have a chat. Lin Xiao gathered everyone for a eting.
