Accepting the Medicinal Pill

Dream

Spectator stands: ...

This match left the audience completely bewildered. They had expected a heated battle, or perhaps the surprise of an underdog triumphing over a powerhouse.

Who could have guessed they wouldn't even be able to see the fight!

All the audience could witness was Xu Sanshi being struck by hidden weapons shot out of the black mist, or being whipped a couple of times by vines. His defense was high, so the injuries likely didn't hurt, but the humiliation was extreme.

"This invisibility skill is just too broken."

"What kind of martial soul is that? It's a bit overpowered."

"It's highly likely a soul skill from a shadow-type soul beast. If your spiritual power is high enough, or your perception of energy is sharp enough, you should be able to sense them."

A senior student with high soul power adjusted his glasses and offered his analysis.

Over there, Huo Yu'er and Wang Dong'er were watching the show, their faces filled with unsurprised delight.

"Wang Dong, are you really recording this?"

"Yeah! Didn't Dream say she wanted to see what the battle and the group leader looked like? I'm recording it to post in the group."

Wang Dong'er patted her chest to show she was reliable, true to her word.

"But we can only see a faint shadow because we have our soul skills activated. What exactly are you recording?"

Huo Yu'er frowned. Even with their spiritual power and vision-enhancing skills active, they could only catch glimpses of the situation—just two shadows moving left and right within the purple-black mist, impossible to lock onto.

The only information they had now was that Chu Mo and Tang Ya held the advantage, and Xu Sanshi was the one taking the beating. This situation kept them from feeling nervous, but since even they couldn't see clearly, they were curious if the recording would actually work.

Wang Dong'er subconsciously pointed at the screen, indicating that she could see it, and the recording captured it too.

"But there really is a picture on the recording interface."

"So magical?"

The duel on the arena stage continued.

"It's been a quarter of an hour and it's still not over? This invisibility soul skill is so long-lasting?"

Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth against the Dragon Whisker Needles inside him, enduring the humiliation of the weak Blue Silver Grass attacks and the mental dizziness. Bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes, yet the shadow soul skill showed no signs of fading.

It was so boring.

"Hah~"

Chu Mo let out a yawn; he could already tell what Xu Sanshi was thinking.

"Don't drag this out. The consumption of this soul skill is basically zero for me. I could keep it up for an hour. Don't get yourself exhausted to death—just concede. We'll take the Mystic Water Pill as compensation; there's no deep grudge between us."

As for this NPC who was delivering the pill, Chu Mo didn't feel the need to go too hard on him. As for the fact that he had cursed at them earlier...

Tang Ya was currently full of excitement, using her Blue Silver Grass to rapidly whip the enemy in front of her.

Hadn't she already vented her anger?

"You!"

Xu Sanshi wore a ferocious expression, squeezing the word out through his teeth. But before he could finish his harsh words, he fell into deep thought.

"Fine, I concede."

As the words of concession fell, the referee stepped in, using a powerful soul skill to push the surrounding energy away, causing the Blue Silver Grass binding Xu Sanshi to dissipate instantly.

Losing the support and the tension, he collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

With the battle won, Chu Mo finally let Xiao Lv end the domain. As the domain shrank, the purple-black gas that had obscured their vision slowly dissipated without a trace.

"Chu Mo and Tang Ya are the winners, claiming the Mystic Water Pill from the wager."

The referee shook his head, shifted his gaze away from Chu Mo, and turned to the crowd to announce the result and the distribution of the wagered resources.

After speaking, the referee walked down, using his soul power to lift Xu Sanshi up, preparing to find a healing mentor to treat him.

Only they remained on the arena stage. Tang Ya excitedly threw herself into Chu Mo's arms, her faint, elegant fragrance wafting over once again.

"Great! We won!"

There was no helping it; there was at least a 3-4 level gap between them, and the opponent's martial soul quality was extremely high. Even with two of them, they shouldn't have had it easy, yet they had actually won.

If not for the difference in their heights, Tang Ya would have clung to him like a koala, not just hugging Chu Mo but wrapping her long legs around his waist as well.

Chu Mo, being held, subconsciously reached out to wrap his arms around her slender waist. Tang Ya didn't mind, leaning further into his embrace.

This scene drew a wave of cheers from the audience who had come just to watch the drama.

"Man, Senior Tang Ya is so charming. She took down the little junior the moment he arrived."

"Why do I feel like it was the little junior who took down Senior Tang Ya!"

"Regardless of how it happened, I feel like Senior Bei Bei is in trouble!"

The man who had been watching his good buddy talk animatedly suddenly noticed someone behind him, his expression changing drastically: "Cough, cough, cough!!!"

His friend clearly didn't realize what his buddy was doing and, thinking he had fallen ill, asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Got a cold? I've got some special medicine I brought from home."

The man could only helplessly cover his forehead, forced to mouth a silent warning.

"Behind..."

He turned his head casually, only to be so shocked that his teeth nearly fell out upon seeing who it was.

"Be, Bei Bei, Senior Bei Bei."

Bei Bei, who was watching the situation on the arena floor from the spectator stands, didn't respond to the voice beside him, his expression one of disbelief.

What was going on?

Although Tang Ya was usually carefree, she shouldn't be like this, and the fact that the junior hadn't been rejected when he put his arm around her waist was very telling—how was this any different from being a boyfriend and girlfriend?

Could it be that something happened during the days he was away?

And it wasn't just Bei Bei who was stunned.

There was also Jiang Nannan.

Watching the situation at the counter, Jiang Nannan was completely dumbfounded.

Wasn't she here to cheer on her good sister?

Why was her good sister's teammate someone she knew, and furthermore, the other protagonist of the shameful dreams she had every night?

What one thinks about during the day, one dreams about at night; as for what she did in her dreams while missing Chu Mo, that was unknown.

"Little brother Chu Mo really came? But why is he so intimate with Tang Ya?"

Jiang Nannan believed that Chu Mo's talent would certainly allow him to join Shrek Academy; it was just a matter of whether he wanted to come. As long as he showed up, it proved that the promise between them still held, and she still had a chance.

So, what made her curious now was Tang Ya! Why was the other party so familiar with the little brother she had missed for so long, to the point of hugging and waist-holding?

Had she been sniped?

But she had been constantly inquiring about news of the new students; it made no sense for Tang Ya to be able to spend time with Chu Mo without her knowing about it.

She couldn't figure it out, she just couldn't figure it out, so Jiang Nannan decided to go and intercept them directly to ask in person, looking back at the arena once more.

Chu Mo and Tang Ya had already put away the items they had wagered and were leaving.

Seeing them leave, Bei Bei, who was in the spectator stands, gritted his teeth and decided to chase after them to ask.

"No, I have to go ask. What exactly is wrong with Tang Ya?"

Saying this, he ran in the direction they had left, leaving his good buddy to fend for himself—forget it, it would be fine; with such a strong martial soul, he would surely survive.

As for the Dragon Whisker Needle, it wouldn't matter if he retrieved it a little later; he wouldn't die. It was better to resolve the doubts in his heart first.

"Ouch, that scared me to death. I really thought Senior Bei Bei was going to kill me."

As soon as those two left, the topic they had been discussing was brought up again.

"Senior Bei Bei actually has a pretty good personality, but Senior Tang Ya seems to have really not chosen him. I wonder why?"
