Chapter 96: Where Did He Come From?
But as he lowered his head, he couldn’t help but glance at her tightly closed beautiful eyes. At this moment, she had returned to the sickly appearance she had when they first met, with a kind of captivating beauty in her illness.
Chen Ling couldn’t help but gulp, and the water went down all at once.
“Uh…”
Awkwardly licking his lips, he raised his head and took another sip of water.
This time, without hesitation, he gently pressed his lips against Sui Li’er’s.
Onlookers: ???
Is it time to eat?
That strange sensation immediately made little Chen Ling lift his head. But at this moment, his mind was filled with nothing but Sui Li’er before him. She had her eyes closed quietly, resembling a sleeping beauty, and Chen Ling was her prince. Everything was as beautiful as a fairy tale.
If Sui Li’er were awake, she might die of happiness.
Then Chen Ling used his tongue to pry open her teeth, and a stream of water flowed from his mouth into hers. Sui Li’er was still in a state of unconsciousness, and being forcefully fed water, she coughed lightly, which frightened Chen Ling, who quickly withdrew from her.
However, although she coughed a few times, she managed to drink the water, and she remained unconscious due to dehydration. Clearly, one mouthful of water was not enough.
“You scared me.” Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her slightly moistened lips that had been moistened by the water, and couldn’t help but lick his lips. He lowered his head again and kissed her small lips. One more time.
That feeling was truly peculiar. There was nothing particularly special about it, just softness, but once it happened, he became intoxicated in it.
At this moment, Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er, who were flying in the sky, happened to pass by. When they looked down, they saw Chen Ling and Sui Li’er.
Yan Ran: “What are these two doing?”
Xi Wei’er chuckled softly in response, “Isn’t it normal for young couples to give each other a kiss?”
“But… we’re in a public setting, and there’s still an assessment going on.”
Xi Wei’er lightly patted her shoulder, “Oh well, it’s normal. They’re adults, let’s not bother them.”
In truth, Yan Ran had no intention of interfering; she was just making a comment.
Meanwhile, little chubby Qitian Ming was hiding in the vicinity, secretly observing.
The girl in the armored suit from earlier took out her smartphone with a smile and captured this historic moment with a “click” sound. She just thought the scene was beautiful and had no idea that it was Sui Li’er and Chen Ling’s first kiss.
And Chen Ling’s kiss lasted for quite a while!
His mouth didn’t have any water, but he still kissed her forcefully. Chen Ling also realized this and lifted his head, his face turning red. “Why the hell am I kissing when I haven’t even drunk any water?” Ahem, sorry!
Then he quickly fed Sui Li’er a few more sips of water. He stopped when he saw her gradually recovering her normal bodily functions from the system interface. Holding her in his arms, he slowly moved forward towards the canyon ahead.
In this situation, everyone who should have revealed their trump cards had already done so. They were using their signature skills, braving the challenges head-on, employing various spells one after another.
As for the strange armored girl in front, the armored shoes on her feet extended several sharp claws. Each step pierced into the ground, and when the explosive energy struck, she would lie flat on the ground. The gloves on her hands also extended a few claws, firmly gripping the ground, allowing her to remain unaffected.
Chen Ling found her footwear quite interesting. He couldn’t help but scan her:
〚 Lo Yuexiu: Female, Age: 18, Height: 164 cm, Constellation: Fire Leo 6612, Curse: Innate defect in the Dantian (very little magic energy), Level: Intermediate Mage 〛
〚 Magic-Enabled Weapon: Fanxing Xiyu: Semi-external skeletal armor, capable of using a small amount of magic energy 〛
It is a specially designed set of half-enclosed, close-fitting mecha armor for her curse.
“With little magic energy, she can still rank in the top ten thousand. That must mean her affinity for spells is quite high.” Chen Ling glanced at it and then closed the system interface.
The curse of this Luo Yuxiu doesn’t seem to hold much value, so it probably won’t deduct too many points. As for her seemingly cool mecha, Chen Ling was just curious to take a look.
The deans of the twelve academies naturally noticed her as well.
They calmly commented, “Isn’t she the young miss of the Luo family?”
“Yes, it seems so. Her equipment has a bit of the Luo family’s style.”
While everyone was pushing forward with great effort, Chen Ling carried Sui Li’er effortlessly, walking steadily and lightly step by step.
While everyone else was on high alert before the arrival of energy, he seemed calm and composed, as if walking on level ground.
When the energy approached, everyone around would stop.
Only he continued walking, and when passing by others, they couldn’t help but show astonished expressions. If they weren’t personally experiencing the terrifying energy, they would have thought they were dreaming.
Of course, there were also many people who, like Sui Li’er, suffered from dehydration and collapsed on the ground. But the mentors didn’t bother to help. With the physical endurance of mages, they wouldn’t die even if they waited until the assessment ended.
At this moment, Yan Ran’s voice suddenly echoed through the volcanic canyon via the Resonance Spell: “Attention, all candidates! There is only one hour remaining.”
!!!
The voice reverberated for a long time, shocking everyone. Unbeknownst to them, half an hour had already passed. There was still about half the distance to the destination, and with the intense energy and high frequency inside, their progress would definitely be slow.
Suddenly, time became insufficient! Everyone panicked.
They immediately shouted and rushed towards the destination. The once quiet canyon, apart from the sounds of explosions, suddenly became lively.
They were yelling and making noise, along with the deafening explosions, which woke up the sleeping Sui Li’er in Chen Ling’s arms. Her cute little eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her small mouth opened slightly. “Ugh, so noisy.”
Chen Ling’s eyes narrowed, and he said calmly, “Shut up.”
Then, a powerful energy suddenly dispersed, instantly sweeping through the entire canyon.
Everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but skip a beat. His voice was quiet, but everyone heard it. That sound seemed to contain the vastness of eternity, leaving people in a trance.
At this moment, the explosion energy arrived.
With a loud “BOOM,” everyone was caught off guard and blasted away!
Of course, except for Luo Yuxiu, the girl in the mecha earlier.
Everyone felt bitter in their hearts. What was this all about? They ran for nothing!
Some people who were close knew it was Chen Ling’s voice. Some people who were far away didn’t know anything and were just blasted away, wearing a miserable expression.
Yan Ran and Xi Weier looked at each other in shock, their eyes filled with confusion: What the hell was that energy just now?
Qitian Ming’s eyes widened involuntarily. In his heart: A forbidden curse master?
The thirteenth forbidden curse master in the world?
That’s impossible! There are only twelve forbidden curse masters in the world, and only when the previous generation of Star Leaders die do the next generation of Star Leaders have the opportunity to ascend to being a forbidden curse master. This is an unchangeable rule of the world.
So where did this Chen Ling, who seems to be a forbidden curse master, come from?
