Chapter 156

The female soldiers and female craftsmen immediately sat and lay down to recover their stamina.

Gu Qing sat down in front of Zhao Chi.

With a beaming smile, she said: "My lord, let me call out once and see if it has any effect."

"Call out? Call out what?"

"Hehe, ah—!!"

Gu Qing suddenly opened her small mouth and let out a scream.

"Hmm??" Zhao Chi felt baffled.

Gu Qing tilted her head and asked: "My lord, did a sense of fear arise in your heart?"

Zhao Chi laughed.

"No, I just thought your voice sounds very nice."

Gu Qing deliberately imitated a wraith's scream, but her timbre was not that kind of sharp, piercing sound—instead, it was a very magnetic, soft and charming female voice.

Even when she screamed, it was completely different from a wraith's cry.

It was like a woman's cry when being tickled by a lover.

Gu Qing laughed and said: "My lord likes listening to my voice?"

"Mm, I do."

"Then I'll talk and chat with you more in the future, as long as you don't find it annoying."

Zhao Chi laughed and said: "How could I? It's just that I might not have enough time."

Gu Qing asked in confusion: "Why? From now on you'll have us in your territory, my lord, you won't have to toil anymore—just command us to work, won't that be fine?"

Zhao Chi shook his head and said: "How could that be? I also have to keep improving myself. But fortunately with you all here, I can free up more time to study and improve myself."

Gu Qing nodded.

She agreed wholeheartedly with Zhao Chi's words.

"Mm, right. My lord, just focus on studying with peace of mind, leave everything else to me, I'll definitely do my best to handle it well for you."

Tang Ruan chimed in at this moment: "I'll also work hard."

Gu Qing laughed and said: "That's right, of course your strength is indispensable too."

Zhao Chi laughed and said: "Gu Qing, you always manage to say what I'm about to say before I do."

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, feeling a little guilty.

"Oh… sorry, my lord, I… overstepped again, didn't I? I'll definitely be careful."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "Don't put it so seriously, I just wanted to express… you think the same as me. I meant to say that I really appreciate you."

Gu Qing's heart blossomed with joy at hearing this.

Her beautiful lips curved upward once again.

Zhao Chi opened the rankings:

【Real-Time Test Rankings】

【1st Place】 Class 5: Pei Yuanxiu

【2nd Place】 Class 3: Xiao Liu

【3rd Place】 Class 8: Wei Jinlong

【4th Place】 Class 9: Zhou Lue

【5th Place】 Class 1: Hua Yuyin

The top five were still those same people.

There was nothing to be done about it.

They were originally strong, and had accumulated large amounts of points in the previous stages.

This stage might cause them some trouble, but it troubled the other students even more.

This further widened the gap between them and the others.

This time, Class 5's Pei Yuanxiu still firmly held first place.

During the fourth stage, Zhao Chi had speculated that his race was not afraid of lightning.

It seemed his race was also not afraid of fear—he was probably indeed a race like gargoyles, golems, or puppets.

Xiao Liu's ranking jumped straight up.

Perhaps he was also a similar race, or simply a skeleton race.

Wei Jinlong and Hua Yuyin made the list again.

They were both combat-type lords; presumably their subordinates were either relatively fierce, or had high morale, able to endure fear and slay wraiths.

When morale is high, even if afraid, one will endure it and fight the enemy to the death.
