Encountering a Hostile Class
As if struck by a thought, she suddenly turned to look at Ye Qian: "You wouldn't happen to be... an Ascended One too, would you?"
"I guess so," Ye Qian with an awkward smile.
"Ah..."
The guy was stunned.
"Alright, that's enough. Next up is the lesson on the application of attributes."
Ye Qian listened attentively to the following lessons.
The teacher mainly discussed several issues.
First, it has shortcomings in terms of attributes.
Regardless of the profession, one should choose to advance based on their strongest attributes, thus making their weaker attributes their Achilles' heel.
Are there any hexagonal warriors?
Yes, but after promotion, since even a hexagonal warrior has to choose the corresponding main and secondary attributes to improve, those who don't have a choice will actually become a relative disadvantage.
But without a doubt, hexagonal warriors, because their weaker attributes are less pronounced than others, end up being... stronger. There are even Transcendent specialize in training their non-primary attributes to gain special abilities.
Building on the shortcomings in attributes, the teacher mentioned a second point, which is the development of attributes.
This process is rather mystical, because ultimately everyone develops different abilities.
For example, one can find power related to the soul and destiny through methods such as Dream Entry and mental training, or directly enhance one's consciousness.
In class, Ye Qian underwent a series of developmental training programs focusing on different attributes such as strength and thinking.
Well, during the mental training, she did indeed feel a kind of "circulation" that she hadn't experienced before.
"I didn't expect you to be able to sense something on your first try? Your talent is quite remarkable." The teacher seemed quite surprised after seeing Ye Qian's condition.
Ye Qian could only twitch her lips.
"Alright, get out of class is over. Everyone, please gather in the classroom at 8 a. m. tomorrow. I'll take you to the forest behind the academy. There will be a really crazy competition there. All those who have advanced are advised to participate. As for those who haven't advanced yet, if your level is close to 20, you can also try to participate. I'll tell you the specific rules later."
The course started quickly and ended quickly.
Anyway, the teacher left after class.
Ye Qian stood up and noticed that several boys seemed to be preparing to approach her.
"People are indeed the same everywhere."
She ignored it and simply took Aisha and left.
At lunchtime, the two girls ate together at the school cafeteria.
In the afternoon, Ye Qian focused her main efforts on finding members of the Fading Lamp Society, but she did not find any.
Although the total number of students in this academy is relatively small, it is still very time-consuming to search for each one one by one using the Mystic Thread, explore their thoughts, and analyze their true identities.
She didn't gather any intelligence at all.
"Let's see how things go during tomorrow's match. If we can find the target, we can look for an opportunity to make a move later."
That night, Ye Qian slept in the college dormitory for the first time.
The room was very clean, and my roommate and I each had our own bed.
However, when Ye Qian took off her clothes, finished showering, and came out in her pajamas while drying her wet hair with a towel, Aisha was completely stunned.
"Hmm, is there a problem?"
The other person took a deep breath and sighed, "It's a good thing I'm not a boy, otherwise I would be completely smitten with you. If this school had a beauty pageant, you would definitely be number one."
Ye Qian rolled her eyes.
Lin Qingyan contacted herself during the day. To be honest, her attractiveness to other girls was even stronger after she became a girl than before. She suddenly felt that she was a real failure in the past.
Fortunately, Aisha was only marveling at her own beauty; she wasn't gay and treated herself the same way. She just sometimes felt a little lost in admiration at her roommate's unparalleled charm and couldn't help but sigh at the injustice of comparing herself to others.
"I'm taking a break now, see you tomorrow."
"Good night."
Too lazy to use her phone, Ye Qian decided to let her body rest so she could be in top condition tomorrow.
Although you have many heads that can all work together, it's still this one body that fights, isn't it?
The next morning at 8:30, everyone arrived at the designated place under the teacher's guidance.
Nearly half of the students in the entire grade have gathered here. There are 400 people participating in the competition, of whom 164 will advance.
The principal, leaning on his cane, slowly walked to the front of the stage and began to explain the rules to all the students.
"Everyone, the competition will take place in the Dream Realm. The academy's Transcendent will use a certain item to pull you all into Dream World similar to this forest. Due to certain reasons, you will encounter a small number of Dream Monsters. They are spiritual beings living in the Dream World and are extremely dangerous. Your task is to kill them and seize their life cores. Of course, you can also plunder other teams; whoever obtains the most will have the highest score."
At this point, the old man's eyes suddenly narrowed, emanating a chill. "After being killed in a dream, the real world will only be weakened for a short time, so... there's absolutely nothing to worry about. The process of death is a test for you all."
The students below immediately began to whisper among themselves.
Ye Qian glanced at Aisha was standing nervously beside her.
"It feels really scary. If I participate with my current skill level, wouldn't I just be throwing my life away?"
"It's alright. Didn't they say it helps in sensing Life Energy?" Ye Qian said.
"Yeah, I'm just taking advantage of the situation. This year, a lot of people from our class are participating, there are 12 of them."
After discussing for more than ten minutes, the old principal said it was time to begin.
Everyone sat cross-legged on the spot, while some chose to lie down.
"Alright, everyone get ready, the extraordinary item is about to be activated."
Holding a fist-sized golden bell in his hand, the principal gently shook it.
Clang--
The crisp sound immediately spread throughout the venue, and everyone, including the teachers present, quickly felt dizzy and drifted off to sleep.
"Good heavens, completely irresistible."
Ye Qian was somewhat surprised to realize that she was in a dream.
If this thing were used by an enemy during combat, it would be a disaster. Of course, one could also sense that the bell's sound contained significant Pollution, but the headmaster had it under control. As for the user, that old man would likely suffer a heavy price.
Snap!
At this moment, the female teacher in the group suddenly clapped her hands with a smile, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, we've drawn the number 8 entrance to the forest, which is roughly in the southwest. You're all on one team, so try not to cause any trouble for the sake of final victory."
"Teacher, has it started yet?" asked a girl who looked to be close to 20 years old to Aisha's left.
"Of course, everyone can go in now. Please be aware that any non-human-looking creatures you see could be Dream Monsters, so feel free to attack. However, be careful of other teams trying to steal from you, especially the S-class and A-class teams, each with more than 10 Transcendent and extremely strong average strength. They will not allow themselves to lose."
"Understood," one of the boys replied.
"Okay, let's go."
The 12 people in the group looked at each other and started walking into the jungle.
"How many people were promoted? Could you tell me?"
The somewhat composed-looking boy I saw in class yesterday spoke up at this moment.
After thinking for a moment, the group of people all came out.
Ye Qian followed.
I counted, and there were exactly 7 people including this boy.
"Hmm, are you all recently promoted? Do you have any strategies for dealing with enemies? Or... do you have any combat experience?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Not all Hidden One emerge from missions; some simply level up through Life Energy and have no experience whatsoever in actual combat.
"Alright, I'm about the same. We can only do our best. Everyone, please tell us what your main attribute is so we can better assign combat strategies." The boy glanced around at everyone, but when his gaze fell on Ye Qian, he quickly looked away, probably because he was too embarrassed to stare at such a pretty girl for too long.
"I am the dominant constitution," a girl said.
"The main force." The boy and a girl spoke one after the other.
"The main spirit," Ye Qian also said.
The final result was 2 main forces, 1 main body, 1 main spirit, 2 main resistance, and 1 main agility.
"In that case, the output is decided: it's the four of us."
Ye Qian noticed that this boy had pulled two main attackers and one agile attacker together with her.
"Then what about our mission?" the girl with the dominant constitution asked.
"Support, help us resist the enemy's mental and physical attacks respectively."
This allocation is perfectly fine.
"As for those who haven't been promoted, everyone's strength is quite high. Just try to assist and interfere with the enemy. It's not impossible for non-promoted individuals to defeat promoted individuals, but it's quite difficult. I hope everyone can go all out."
"Good."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then, let's speed up."
Chapter 130 Encountering a Rival Class
Golden sunlight pierced through layers of dense jungle, leaving only a few patches of light of varying sizes on the ground.
Running through this scene, even though she knew it was a dream, Ye Qian had the illusion that she was in reality.
She is fully conscious now.
In a world where one knows they are dreaming and is fully awake, everything around them feels just like reality, without any flaws.
Without a doubt, the effect of that extraordinary item has surpassed the level of Weaver like Vier.
"Roar--"
As everyone ran, low growls could be heard coming from afar.
"Is it a dream monster?"
The boy in the lead showed a strange expression. Just as everyone was hesitating whether to go over there, a terrifying monster with black mist swirling around its body and red scales all over its body suddenly came running from a distance.
The creature's eyes glowed crimson, its body was three or four meters long, and it moved incredibly fast, closing in almost instantly.
"Fighting!"
The boy yelled.
I didn't expect the battle to start so quickly.
In the group, the girl running on the left was the first to launch an attack.
Her body seemed to transform into Phantom in an instant, flashing to the side of the monster and gaining a speed greater than the target for a short time.
The fist, carrying a terrifying force, slammed into the target.
Boom!
A violent explosion, accompanied by a burst of flames shooting into the sky, spread outwards, and the monster then let out a painful roar.
"That's fierce."
When Ye Qian saw this attack, which shattered the creature's scales, the power it wielded in that instant was probably far greater than that of her own Explosion Ring.
As expected of Transcendent among the main force.
The speed just now made her highly suspicious that the opponent's secondary attribute was agility.
The main character is a secondary agility user; I don't know what their class is.
At that very moment, the monster, writhing in pain, suddenly turned its head, and a burst of violent blood-red light shot out from its mouth, aimed directly at the boy who was leading the group.
Because of the speed, he was hit squarely and flew backward, landing on the ground with a scream.
