Chapter 219: I've been annoyed with you for a long time—let's spar

No one noticed Lin Lin Mengye's departure; everyone's eyes were on the testing platform, which was exactly what Lin Lin Mengye wanted.

Just as she left, Ye Xiu seemed to sense something, turned his head and glanced over, but saw nothing.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly, wondering to himself.

Could his feeling be wrong? He had clearly felt that the beautiful older sister was nearby just a moment ago.

Come to think of it, the older sister hadn't come for several days, and he didn't know how she was doing or if she was happy.

Lin Lin Mengye, whom Ye Xiu had been thinking of, quietly followed behind Cui Cheng; seeing him enter the teaching building, she hurried in after him.

At this moment, everyone was watching the testing and awakening ceremony, so the building was almost empty.

Lin Lin Mengye quickly changed clothes and put on the mask she had prepared in her space, then followed Cui Cheng as he turned into a corridor.

Who are you?

Cui Cheng's voice suddenly rang out; he had just suffered a heavy blow, his mood was terrible, he had long noticed someone tailing him, and upon reaching a corridor without surveillance coverage, he dropped the act, staring gloomily at the person before him.

Lin Lin Mengye had not been concealing her aura or figure; seeing Cui Cheng actively confront her, she also dropped any pretense.

Young Master Cui, right? I've been annoyed with you for a while—how about a spar?

Cui Cheng, as if hearing a joke, stared at Lin Lin Mengye and suddenly burst into manic laughter.

I don't bully women, but I'm in a foul mood now; since you came over voluntarily to let me vent, I'm not opposed to hitting a woman.

Lin Lin Mengye pursed her lips; this guy is so chuunibyou? Not bullying women, yet with that attitude he's clearly no good—young but loud-mouthed.

Lin Lin Mengye was not polite either, she laughed and said:

Young Master Cui, why are you in a bad mood? Is it because you tested as an A and think you're trash? Don't be like that—an A rank is pretty good, it's just one tier below S.

Lin Lin Mengye knew how to break someone's defenses.

Sure enough, the next second, Cui Cheng's face twisted as he cursed and lunged to slap Lin Lin Mengye.

Lin Lin Mengye seized the opportunity, quickly circulated her spiritual power, and unleashed Palm Thunder.

She deliberately controlled the power; only a thin, tiny thread of lightning condensed in her bare hand, hardly visible unless looked at closely.

As they met, Lin Lin Mengye struck with her palm toward Cui Cheng's shoulder.

The next second, the lightning pierced Cui Cheng's shoulder; he instantly winced, his body jerking backward in a twisted posture.

A shocking blood hole appeared starkly on Cui Cheng's shoulder; to Lin Lin Mengye's surprise, it was as large as a quail egg, forming in the blink of an eye, as if Cui Cheng were made of paper.

At that moment, Cui Cheng finally reacted; the intense pain from his shoulder made his whole body spasm—this was the first time he had ever suffered such a severe injury.

You, you bitch!

Cui Cheng only managed to shout those words before his eyes rolled back and he fainted outright.

Lin Lin Mengye swallowed, quickly stepped forward to check his breath—he wasn't dead.

She then contemptuously gave his face another slap before rising and leaving without looking back.

She had merely wanted to teach this guy a lesson, to collect some interest for Ye Xiu, but hadn't expected him to be so fragile.

Lin Lin Mengye also found it puzzling—Cui Cheng was a 'paper-wrapped chicken': strong on the outside, weak within.

Could it be that people in this world are just that fragile? She had clearly restrained her spiritual power, controlled the force, and condensed Palm Thunder into something as fine as a hair—just enough to tickle—so how did she pierce right through him?

Pierced is pierced; the wound is still that big, making one's scalp crawl just looking at it.

Of course, Lin Lin Mengye does not regret injuring Cui Cheng.

Just a spoiled little chicken—hit him, and that's that.

Later, once Ye Xiu grows up, maybe it won't be as simple as a beating; taking his life will be a matter of time.

Lin Lin Mengye silently returned to the barrier, while Cui Cheng still lay in a pool of blood, unattended.

Afterwards, the students of Class Eight went up one after another to be tested and awakened.

All in all, there were only about ten or so—people who had passed the simulated test screening, destined to awaken their talents; thus the numbers were few, and soon it was Ye Xiu's turn.

Before that, aside from the earlier A-rank lightning ability user Cui Cheng, the class had no other A-rank; most were C-rank or lower, and the class teacher's face had turned green.

Seeing Ye Xiu step onto the stage, the class teacher's hope flared up again.

Come on, Ye Xiu—our Class Eight is counting on you!

No classmates cheered; those few lackeys of Cui Cheng even spat on the ground.

Young Master Cui only got an A; this kid's talent in the simulated test is probably inaccurate—maybe he's just a C.

Then let's curse him to become the lowest D-rank, with a useless ability— that would suit his status.

Lin Lin Mengye memorized each of their faces; she would look for a chance to spar with them later, as she loved this kind of crushing domination.

On the other side, in the upper-level viewing area, the principal was introducing the Night Watch representative.

That's Ye Xiu, one of this batch's seed players; this child has a poor background, his parents died early, making him an orphan, and he has an eight-year-old sister he relies on; a child like this, if properly nurtured, will be the most desperate.

Wu Jiang's gaze fell on Ye Xiu; from this teenager he saw stubbornness and a cry.

As the principal said, such a child, if used well, is absolutely a sharp sword; but if misused, it will be destructive.

He spoke in a calm voice: "Let's see and talk later; this time Canaan City's simulated test really has a low accuracy rate—several high schools that have finished the college entrance exam have already reported this issue."

At your neighboring school, the student who similarly tested as S-rank in the simulation—just finished the test yesterday afternoon—ended up with only a B relying on an A, not even meeting the A-rank talent standard.

After Wu Jiang finished speaking, the principal's face grew solemn.

Just now, even Cui Cheng of the Cui family had been downgraded—so Ye Xiu might also…

At that moment, Ye Xiu took a deep breath, drank the spiritual liquid, and firmly placed his hand on it.

Lin Lin Mengye nervously stared at the big screen, clenched her palms, and silently prayed that the test result would be stunning.

For some reason, Ye Xiu's test result came out very slowly; the venue fell deathly silent, and nobody spoke anymore.

Just as everyone thought the test might have gone wrong, the holographic screen suddenly burst forth with a blinding light.

The next second, a striking S-mark appeared prominently in the center of the screen.

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

"It's S-rank! Ye Xiu wasn't demoted!"

"Our class finally has an S-rank! No, Ye Xiu should be the only one with S-rank talent in our school!"

"Ye Xiu, well done! The teacher knew you could do it!" The class teacher shouted the loudest; with an S-rank talent appearing in his class, he as a teacher shares in the honor!

Lin Lin Mengye breathed a sigh of relief; the talent test was passed, Ye Xiu's talent is strong, he will surely go far.

Now we just wait to see what supernatural power he will ultimately awaken.
