The black pillar of light was very close to the Temple of the Muses where the Fallen Angel camp was located. Li Xiang wanted to take a look, but the Polar night was gradually turning red. It seemed like they were about to return from the Polar night to the Blood Moon Night, which was advantageous to them.
During the first Blood Moon Night, Li Xiang was able to gain a lot of strengthening points because of the information and battle experience he gained. This time, he was facing two major powers. No matter which side he was on good terms with, if he acted rashly, there might be problems.
If it really was the Sky King, who was worth 10000 points, he would not be killed so easily. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiang decided to return to the Brilliant Hot Springs.
The number of trial-takers resting in the hot springs was much less than the previous round. Some did not believe it, and after seeing the terrifying battle power of the Sky King's corpse, they decided to focus on the enemy camp. They would sneak over during the Blood Moon Night. If they could kill one or two, it would be quite a bit of wealth.
As time passed, Li Xiang realized that the gap between the trial-takers had widened. For someone like him, it was not difficult for him to gain points. As long as he was ahead, he would always be ahead. On the other hand, those who had been relying on the Defense Spire all day had not earned any points. Even if they won, they would not gain anything.
Even though they were all geniuses of their respective universities, there was still a huge gap between them.
Yue Xingling and Xuan Yue, who had turned into a little loli, were curled up in a corner. They used Xuan Yue's thick cold aura to hide their bodies. Ji Xiaoyi was covered in wounds. When she returned, she was practically covered in blood.
The other trial-takers who stayed in the Brilliant Hot Springs looked at Li Xiang with unkind eyes. After all, they had seen him lure monsters to attack the Defense Spire. Most people would not have a good impression of him.
Li Xiang did not mind and swam towards Ji Xiaoyi.
"How did you end up in such a sorry state?" He glanced at the stubborn girl. No matter what kind of situation she was in, she was always calm. A girl like this was full of pride. She must be carrying a burden that others could not imagine.
"I was ambushed when I was luring monsters." Ji Xiaoyi said it casually. In reality, she was almost unable to make it back.
Seeing that Li Xiang had the desire to continue listening, she paused for a moment and told him the whole story in a soft and concise voice.
Her first few attempts at luring monsters had been very successful. She was alone, so she didn't dare to be as arrogant as Li Xiang and the others. Although this kind of opportunistic behavior was despicable, the group of trial-takers on the top lane didn't dare to stand out and object.
After all, Ji Xiaoyi's status and strength were obvious.
However, she never expected that someone had already sold her information to her enemy, Ji Ruoyu.
That woman, who was always smiling and sweet to everyone, had secretly ambushed Ji Xiaoyi. She and Finis had lured two elite Sky Race warriors to ambush Ji Xiaoyi, who was on her way back.
"Two!" Li Xiang had watched the entire battle between Crescent Moon and the Elite Warrior. He was one of the few people who had a deep understanding of the combat prowess of these terrifying fellows. With two of them, let alone Ji Xiaoyi, even he could do nothing but run.
Ji Ruoyu and Finesse had set up this trap and planned everything. How could they allow her to escape so easily?
"It's not a sure-kill trap. I've fought with Ji Ruoyu for more than ten years. I know her methods very well. It's just a pity that I lost the magic scroll that my father left me," Ji Xiaoyi replied calmly. Magic scrolls had to be written by a Level-9 Magician. It was said that even a simple scroll would take that Magician a year to create. It was very precious.
Ji Xiaoyi had kept this trump card, so she naturally wasn't afraid of their ambush.
"Birds of a feather flock together. Oh, this is a proverb from the Ancient Blue Star Era. It means that the kind of person will be with the kind of person. "Li Xiang sighed. Ji Ruoyu was not a good person to be able to get along with Finis.
Ever since he understood the concept of Primordial Fire, he finally understood why Finis' clone had possessed someone else's body to get close to him and even offered him an olive branch.
Thinking about it carefully, the one possessing Finis' body was most likely the Primordial Fire clone of Calamity. The real Primordial Fire had already awakened in King Loulan's body. The first thing she did after waking up was to devour other fire seeds to strengthen herself.
Finis, who already had self-awareness, obviously wouldn't just sit around and wait for death. He probably already knew when he left Li Xiang's body. The reason he used the body of Calamity to blend in with the human aristocratic families was probably to make it easier for him to avoid being pursued by the real Primordial Fire.
He was trying to get on his good side in hopes that Li Xiang would deal with the real Primordial Fire together. Thinking back to the first time they met, the guy possessing Finis' body didn't say much, but he obviously had a good impression of him. It seemed like there was something about him that attracted him.
"He probably doesn't know that I've already met the real Primordial Fire, and it seems like I've been taken care of by her." Li Xiang sneered. After coming out of the Deep Sea Kingdom, he was trapped in the Gate of the Abyss and vaguely received some power from the real Primordial Fire, which prompted the evolution of his Mechanical Heart.
Maybe Finis sensed it and knew about this, which was why he decided to join forces with Ji Ruoyu and the others.
"This sentence is very interesting." Ji Xiaoyi nodded. "But that Finis … always gives me a strange feeling."
"Strange?" Li Xiang asked even though he already knew the answer. That guy was a Calamity, so how could he not be strange? But Ji Xiaoyi could sense some of it. Her intuition was very powerful.
"Yes, he's the same as you. He has a strange power that can absorb and dissolve Origin Substances. My magic scroll blocked two elite-level Warriors, but he broke through it! Logically speaking, a Level-3 Magician shouldn't be able to break through magic. "Ji Xiaoyi paused and pulled up her long robe.
There was a hideous scar on the left side of her body, and it was suffused with a thick black aura. It was clearly the aura of a Calamity.
She couldn't see it, but the bone-chilling pain kept torturing her.
Seeing Li Xiang staring at her, Ji Xiaoyi's cheeks turned red. She said in a displeased tone, "Have you seen enough?"
"Uh … Your injuries were all caused by him?" Li Xiang looked away. Sigh, sometimes a man's instincts couldn't be controlled. He turned his head to ease the awkwardness. "This aura is very strange. It seems to be similar to a Calamity."
"Maybe. Anyway, that smell makes me want to vomit." Ji Xiaoyi didn't want to say anything more. After the exchange, she closed her eyes and rested.
The Polar Night retreated, and the Blood Moon Night reappeared.
Within the ruins of the Holy City.
Ji Ruoyu looked at the gradually fading black pillar of light. Surprise flashed across her eyes. She looked calm, but her heart was in turmoil. It was difficult for her to calm down.
Finis, who was standing beside her, also had a serious expression. After a moment, he said slowly, "Her strength is much higher than I expected."
Ji Ruoyu nodded, but she didn't feel good about it.
Just now, Fei Yujing had almost left the Sky King here forever.
She clearly didn't have the ability to control Origin Substances. She wasn't even a magic user, but she could still explode with shocking combat strength!
Fei Yujing was surrounded by trial takers who were willing to die for her. In less than a day, she had crazily recruited so many loyal and devoted guards.
They thirsted for power and were willing to be enslaved. Many of them were famous youths from the Seven Continents, but they were willing to give up everything for the sake of Calamity's power!
Ji Ruoyu couldn't understand. She didn't understand at all!
This was especially true for Gong Yangjian and the others. Their clans were part of the Bloodline Nobility Clans Alliance, and their elders had high hopes for them. Their futures were limitless. Why would they be willing to follow this woman?
"What kind of power is this?" Ji Ruoyu's eyes spat out endless flames of jealousy. She had lived like a princess since she was young, and her goal was the Black King's throne. Under her patient management for more than ten years, she had become one of the most talented young descendants of the Ji Family.
Ji Xiaoyi was the only one who could stand up to her.
Ji Ruoyu always felt that she was the chosen one. Even the Bai Clan's Bai Xintong couldn't compare to her. At most, she was just an opponent on the road.
But now, this woman, she, she was nothing …
Gong Yang Jian and the rest surrounded the incomparably weak Fei Yujing in the middle, guarding against any sneak attacks from their people. They were obviously powerless to raise their hands, but that woman still looked at them with a gaze filled with contempt!
Why!
Why!?
"What kind of power is this …" Ji Ruoyu gritted her teeth and asked again.
"Do you really want to know?" Finis sighed and looked at her again. "Some things are better left unknown."
"If I don't know, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace." Ji Ruoyu couldn't bear to be overtaken by a commoner woman. Absolutely not!
"Her power is the same as mine. More accurately, it's purer than mine." Finis stared at Fei Yujing's face and lowered his voice. Their eyes met in an instant. Fei Yujing looked at him like she was looking at prey. "She's Primordial Fire."
"Primordial … Primordial Fire!" Ji Ruoyu almost exclaimed. Fortunately, Finis covered her mouth. She looked at her fiancé and couldn't help but confirm again. "Are you sure?"
"Have you forgotten who I am? We have the same kind of perception. We're much better than you humans. "Finis nodded. He actually told Ji Ruoyu his identity!
Ji Ruoyu agreed with this point. Calamity's mysterious connection was much more solid than the illusory relationship between humans.
She knew very well that her fiancé was Calamity's Primordial Fire clone. Even so, she still chose to be with Finis.
How much of this was ambition, how much was probing, and how much was love? She wasn't sure herself.
"Then if I report her, won't she be dead for sure?" Ji Ruoyu was secretly delighted, but when she turned her head and thought that if Fei Yujing were to be exposed, Fenix's identity would probably be exposed as well, and that little bit of joy immediately disappeared.
As if he saw through her thoughts clearly, Finis' lips curled up slightly. He said calmly, "You don't have to feel regretful. She's wantonly recruiting followers here and releasing her power without hesitation. This means that she's already planning to return to our home after leaving this place. I'm afraid that she'll run away before you can report her."
"That's true. However, some of the trial-takers who were kicked out by them left through self-communication imprints. If they spread the word …" Ji Ruoyu asked doubtfully.
Finis smiled coldly and shook his head. "You underestimate us too much. Even if we haven't formed into a true Calamity, we're still much stronger than many of our kind. After all, we're one of the very few creatures that have self-consciousness like you. That woman has the ability to split herself and the ability to curse misfortune. If they're related to her, even if they want to leave in the future, they're dead for sure. As for those who were kicked out by her, hehe … Isn't that the best proof that there are no players involved in our trial yet? "
Ji Ruoyu was horrified. That's right. If someone really reported her in advance, the players would have come long ago. No matter how powerful that woman was, she wouldn't be able to defeat the players.
For her to be so fearless, she probably had a way to isolate the news or prevent others from spreading it.
"What should we do?" Ji Ruoyu felt a headache coming on. So many monsters had sneaked into the School Championship Trial, which was far beyond her expectations.
"The thing she's looking for is most likely with the Sky King. Since she's seen through my identity and is indifferent to it, we'll mind our own business and let her be. Didn't you accept General Shogun's request? Our main mission is to kill Li Xiang. He's actually connected with my Primordial Flame's main body! Since that's the case, we're like fire and water. "Finis' eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
He never expected that Li Xiang would be connected with the Primordial Flame's main body!
The moment the Primordial Flame's main body awakened, he could feel it from the faraway Ogham Family. That sense of suppression and fear that came from the source of the soul was unforgettable. The moment the main body awakened, the first thing it did was to search for its scattered clones.
But he never expected that as an A-grade Calamity, she would actually take the initiative to form a spiritual contract with a human!
She clearly didn't have a complete spiritual consciousness. During the battle with the White King, they had no choice but to fall into an eternal sleep. If Li Xiang hadn't accidentally obtained that heart and awakened this clone of his, they wouldn't have been able to awaken.
That battle had completely cut off their path of advancement.
After she awakened, she didn't choose to return or hibernate to absorb humans. Why did she immediately find Li Xiang to form a spiritual contract?
Finis couldn't understand. A spiritual contract was equivalent to the so-called marriage contract between humans. Even Calamities rarely formed a spiritual contract between themselves, so why would she form one with a human?
"Could it be that she also discovered the secret on Li Xiang's body?" Finis shook his head. That was impossible. If it wasn't for the fact that as a heart, she really wouldn't know the secret of Li Xiang's body.
He was a new species.
A new species with limitless possibilities.
This point, should only be known by himself and Li Xiang.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely kill that Li Xiang for you. But that woman Fei Yujing seems to be related to him. Are we going to make a move here?" Ji Ruoyu was a little worried after hearing his words.
Even Finis wasn't willing to face Fei Yujing head on, which showed how powerful she was.
"It depends on the situation. Since she's already joined our camp, unless it's absolutely necessary, we won't fall out with her." Finis' face was gloomy. This was also a problem. That woman's main body was human, so she was different from him. He couldn't judge her with the mindset of a Calamity.
"In short, everything will end during the second Polar night."
