Tang Wulin's face also turned pale.
Gu Yue's mouth twitched.
Wang Jinxi's cold face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years finally had a crack.
Zhang Yangzi subconsciously took half a step back, as if Zhong Shenxiu would emerge from the ground in the next second.
Wu Zhangkong looked at their reactions and felt inexplicably good.
He had witnessed the entire three months of "torture".
Twice a week, Spirit Ascension Platform and Zhong Shenxiu hunt down five of them. From the beginning, one shot each, to all kinds of tricks later - digging tunnels, setting traps, cat and mouse!
He doesn't even know how Zhong Shenxiu did it.
But those five children did grow up rapidly in these pursuits.
Xie Xie's speed became faster, his escape route became more and more tricky, and he even learned to set up traps to counterattack while escaping.
Tang Wulin's use of Blue Silver Grass became more and more flexible. Once, he actually made a huge slingshot out of straw and ejected himself, avoiding Zhong Shenxiu's fatal shot.
Gu Yue's elemental control became more and more precise, with ice walls, fire walls, wind walls, and various defensive methods emerging in endlessly. Once, he even used space elements to briefly distort the surrounding space, causing Zhong Shenxiu's shot to miss.
The cooperation between Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi is getting more and more tacit, with one frontal containment and the other side sneak attack. On one occasion, Zhong Shenxiu was forced to use Second Soul Skill to take them down.
Wu Zhangkong has seen all these progress.
And now, it's time to test their true strength.
"Teacher Wu!"
Xie Xie rushed forward and hugged Wu Zhangkong's thigh.
"You can't do this! You are pushing us into a pit of fire! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"
He looked up at Wu Zhangkong with tears in his eyes.
"Zhong Shenxiu That devil, he is the god of death in Spirit Ascension Platform! He is a harvester! He is a nightmare for the five of us! If you let him chase us, you might as well just let us die!"
Wu Zhangkong looked down at him, expressionless.
"Then you don't have to participate."
Xie Xie:"...(⊙ˍ⊙)"
He let go of his hand, stood up silently, and patted the dust on his knees.
"I suddenly felt that being chased by Zhong Shenxiu was no big deal."
He laughed twice.
"Isn't it just being nailed to a tree? I'm used to it. (￣▽￣*)"
Tang Wulin said from the side Youyou:
"That's not what you said when you were nailed to the tree last time. You said, 'I will never enter Spirit Ascension Platform again', 'Zhong Shenxiu you are not a human being', 'I want to drop out of school'."
Xie Xie: "...(;一_一)"
He glared at Tang Wulin.
"Can you please stop making trouble at a time like this?"
Tang Wulin pretended to be innocent and blinked, then said with a smile:
"I'm telling the truth."
Xie Xie: "..."
Wu Zhangkong was too lazy to watch Xie Xie continue to play tricks, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, in three days, we will enter Spirit Ascension Platform. These three days are for you to have a holiday. You can relax and get ready."
Vacation?
Since joining Class Zero, apart from the routine holiday of one day per week, I have never had any extra holidays.
This is a three-day holiday!
Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi were the first to cheer.
Zhong Shenxiu remained silent. It didn't matter to him whether he had a holiday or not. He was practicing in the dormitory anyway.
For him, time is never wasted.
Every minute and every second should be spent on meaningful things - training, fighting, and becoming stronger.
Vacation?
What is that?
Can it be eaten?
Can you make him break through level 40?
Can Dragon Fighting Plane be fully charged?
Neither can.
Therefore, vacation is meaningless.
He turned around and prepared to leave.
Just then--
A faint aroma wafted into the nose.
The aroma was very light, so light that ordinary people couldn't smell it at all. But for Zhong Shenxiu's eyes that could see in the dark, and his sense of smell that was sharper than that of a beast, the aroma was as clear as a light in the dark night.
Gu Yue.
She had come over quietly.
"Shenxiu~"
Her voice was soft and waxy, with a hint of unexplainable meaning.
Zhong Shenxiu stopped, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at her sideways.
There was no emotion in those light golden vertical pupils.
"Take you to a nice place tonight."
Gu Yue said with a smile, his black eyes curved into two crescents, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Zhong Shenxiu looked away.
"No time."
Simple and neat.
A normal person would have wisely stepped back at this time.
But Gu Yue is not a normal person.
She had long expected that Zhong Shenxiu would answer like this.
In the past three months, she has been rejected countless times.
From the first "I don't have time", to the later "I won't go", and now to the current "I don't have time" - Zhong Shenxiu's answer has never been anything new, it has always been a two-word response.
But Gu Yue doesn't care.
She chuckled lightly, and there was a kind of certainty in her smile that said, "I knew you would say this."
"Are you really not going?"
She got closer, so close that Zhong Shenxiu could clearly see the curvature of her eyelashes.
"My sister found that place with great difficulty~"
There was a hint of seduction, a hint of mystery, and a hint of... provocation in her voice?
Zhong Shenxiu looked at Gu Yue who was getting closer and closer, and frowned slightly.
Ever since the first Spirit Ascension Platform ended and he rejected Gu Yue's shopping invitation, this guy seemed to have turned on some strange switch.
Move closer to him blatantly.
Blatantly shouting "Shenxiu~Shenxiu~".
Blatantly... provoking a little boy like him.
Yes, provocative.
Zhong Shenxiu could feel that the way Gu Yue looked at him was different from how he looked at others.
In those eyes, there was curiosity, scrutiny, calculation, and a trace of... complex emotions that he couldn't explain himself.
It's like a hunter looking at his prey.
Or is it like... the hunter looks at the hunter?
Zhong Shenxiu Not sure.
Zhong Shenxiu looked at her and took a step to the side.
Gu Yue saw it.
Her eyes narrowed further.
"Are you serious about taking half a step back? (◕‿◕✿)"
She said with a smile.
Zhong Shenxiu: "..."
He was silent for a moment.
Then, he decided not to pay attention to this inexplicable woman.
He turned around and prepared to leave.
But Gu Yue is faster.
She dodged and was already in front of him.
Zhong Shenxiu's eyes moved slightly.
Gu Yue stood in front of him, looking up at him.
The distance between the two is less than half a meter.
Her dark eyes reflected his light golden vertical pupils.
"Don't leave in a hurry~"
Her voice was still soft, but now it was a little more serious.
"What if I say, I want to fight with you?"
Gu Yue finished speaking, and Zhong Shenxiu's footsteps stopped completely.
He tilted his head slightly, and those light golden vertical pupils fell on Gu Yue's face.
For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
A fight?
Zhong Shenxiu looked at her, and the images of the past three months flashed through his mind.
In Spirit Ascension Platform, he picked Gu Yue eight times if not ten times.
The first time, she was nailed to the tree with one shot and hung there like a caught bird, with her hands and feet still flapping in the air.
The second time, she held on for three seconds, then was shot through and disappeared into white light.
The third time, she was in a group with Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. He dug a tunnel and attacked them secretly. He shot three of them and strung them together like candied haws. Gu Yue was still strung together in the middle, and his expression was wonderful.
The fourth time, she learned a lesson and surrounded herself like a turtle shell with walls of ice, fire, and wind. It took him five seconds to break the wall, and he nailed her to the tree in the sixth.
The fifth time...
Zhong Shenxiu Can't remember clearly.
Anyway, the result is the same every time.
Gu Yue could never walk for more than ten seconds under his gun.
But now, she actually takes the initiative to say that she wants to have a fight?
