Chapter 160 - Done

Chapter 160 Done

In a battle stadium in the upper town area.

This was a professional battle stadium. Apart from the battle venues, there were some pet-related virtual devices.

Those battle pet virtual devices were popular arcade games.

In one of the private rooms, Xie Yuexuan sat in front of the battle pet virtual device and stared at the grey screen with a cloudy face.

She had lost again.

This was the 207th time!

Ever since she received the message from her teacher, she had spent much time thinking about the question at home. That yielded no result. So, she went to the battle stadium to practice in a simulation.

According to the requirement of the question, she chose the standard configuration of the battle pets.

However, whichever way she tried and whichever skills she used, her pet would be killed by the Limbo Lion. On several occasions, she was very close to making her pet and the Limbo Lion perish together… but every time, she just lacked that final touch and she lost.

“This is too hard.”

Xie Yuexuan was sweating. She pulled the rod to start again.

Five minutes later, her screen dimmed down, again.

Again!

Lost!

Again!

Time after time, Xie Yuexuan could not even concentrate. Her teacher had given her three days but she had no clue at the moment.

Having lost so many times, her mind had become unclear. All of a sudden, some information that she had almost forgotten popped out. Since she had no other choice, she subconsciously began to implement that method.

First, use Death Hymn.

Then, the Soul Incursion…

However, before she could use the Soul Incursion, the Limbo Lion had pounced over. The Death Hymn was of no effect, at all. The screen dimmed for yet another time.

Xie Yuexuan’s mind cleared up. She bit her teeth. She knew that this method would never work. It was ridiculous that she had nursed a slight hope that the liar’s method would do wonders.

She started over.

When she was about to launch the attack again, all of a sudden, she remembered that the liar’s method didn’t begin with Death Hymn.

Did he say to use Dark Mist and Deadly Roar before the Death Hymn?

Since the two abilities were of no use to the Limbo Lion, Xie Yuexuan skipped over them directly.

She frowned and clicked on the keyboard. Dark Mist was released. Then, the Corpse Dance unleashed the Deadly Roar. She quickly followed up with Death Hymn.

She didn’t know why she was trying that liar’s method again. Maybe, it was because she had absolutely no way to deal with this Limbo Lion.

On the screen, the Corpse Dance stood on the spot and used the Death Hymn. Xie Yuexuan threw a look at the Limbo Lion. Previously, every time she used this skill, the Limbo Lion would pounce at the Corpse Dance because this was its most vulnerable moment.

However.

This time, to her surprise, she realized that the Limbo Lion stood still, shaking its head as if it were stuck in some sort of illusion.

Was the Limbo Lion’s mind disturbed?

Xie Yuexuan was taken aback. She opened her eyes wide. Almost by instinct, she initiated the Soul Incursion.

The Limbo Lion trembled for a second and then a mist came over its eyes.

The Soul Incursion worked!

Xie Yuexuan was stunned. Then, she remembered the third step that the liar had told her… to make the Corpse Dance step forward and punch the lion in the face.

Even without that liar’s explanation, Xie Yuexuan would clearly take this rare chance to land the final blow.

Soon, the Corpse Dance pounced at the Limbo Lion and tore it apart.

Ever since the beginning, the Limbo Lion had had no chance to fight back!

This was such an easy win!

Xie Yuexuan looked at the word “victory” on the screen. She still couldn’t accept this.

Was it that easy?

Did she win?!

A long time later, she came back to her senses. Seized with a mixed feeling, she started the game again.

This time, she chose the same skill combo as before, Dark Mist – Deadly Roar – Death Hymn – Soul Incursion!

The Limbo Lion again sunk into the illusion while trembling.

The combo worked again!

Xie Yuexuan controlled the Corpse Dance to tear apart the Limbo Lion at once.

The word victory emerged on the screen.

She had won again!

Xie Yuexuan stared at the screen. Winning once might be a coincidence but winning twice would be something else.

Previously, she had tried every means she thought were effective but none of them worked. However, she won twice in a row by using that liar’s method!

She remained silent for a moment and then tried once again.

She won! And again!

She won eight times in a row!

The same method and the same victory without any accidents. Winning had become a sure thing!

She paused for a moment and then dived back into the game. This time, she used her old method. Soon, the screen turned grey. She had lost.

Several times later, she was certain that to win against this Limbo Lion, she had to go with that liar’s way.

Wait a minute…

If the method worked, then that person wasn’t a liar!

Xie Yuexuan’s face turned pale at this thought. If he weren’t a liar, then he must truly be a titled battle pet warrior!

And she… had filed complaints against a titled battle pet warrior!

She was covered in cold sweat and appeared to be ghastly pale. She even called that person and hurled verbal abuse at him profusely. Her heart was pounding. The only thing that made her glad was that she had concealed her real number. That person didn’t know who she was.

“Oh no. I have to withdraw the complaints right away.”

She wasn’t in the mood to continue the experiments. She dashed out of the battle stadium at once.

When she went back home, she went online immediately to withdraw the complaint, only to find that it was being processed and could not be withdrawn.

Usually, the feedback would be provided after two to three days when the complaint was being processed.

Xie Yuexuan clicked on the mouse madly, trying to stop the process. But there was no reaction. Her face was clouded.

She wanted to open up the chat window to apologize to that person. However, she had blocked his chat and deleted him from the blacklist. She couldn’t even unblock him!

Xie Yuexuan was too frustrated to cry. She then remembered her phone. Yet soon, she wailed again. She had blacklisted and deleted that person on her phone as well. To make it worse, she didn’t bother to memorize his number.

“I am doomed. There is no fixing this.”

Xie Yuexuan was depressed.

The only thing that made her feel better was that the guy didn’t know her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even be able to sleep.

“Never mind. I will hand in my answer. This will be a reminder to not be so reckless in the future.”

Xie Yuexuan sighed. She opened the folder, found the question, and then typed in the answer.

Then, she emailed it to her teacher. In case that her teacher would miss this email, she called her teacher right after.

“Sir.”

“Yuexuan, I’ve been meaning to call you.”

“Sir, what is it?”

“The Longtai Mountain is opening up. I’ve just got the news that our academy can select three students to go to parcel 65. For all I know, parcel 65 is one of the priority parcels and the teams will be led by the future family head of the Qin Family. There must be many treasures there. Those that join the team can get one treasure each!

“It is free to join the team. Our academy got this chance through our principal’s connections. But you must know that many students want to go and are now fighting over the chance.

“If you can do well this time, I will try and put you in.”

Xie Yuexuan was stunned by this news.

Longtai Mountain?

She had heard about this when she went on exploration in the barren areas before, but she had never gone there.

Besides, the Qin Family that was just mentioned was a local overlord at the Longjiang Base City. The Qin Family could do whatever they wanted if not completely controlling the city.

“Sir, what do you mean?”

“I gave you a question last time. Think about it and solve it. That is an advanced-level question. Answering it can get you many points.”

Xie Yuexuan understood. She felt both glad and troubled.

She said, “Sir, I finished it. I just emailed it to you.”

“Really? So fast? You have two more days. The Longtai Mountain is going to open the day after tomorrow. There’s no rush.”

“OK, but the answer I came up with should be the best.”

“Are you sure?” “Well…”
