After some time, the prolonged suppression of the cold air caused Ma Xiaotao's face to become rosy.
Sweat soaked through my back, blurry and translucent.
The Evil Fire within her was no longer as arrogant as before; it had been mercilessly extinguished by the cold air, and there was no time to evaporate the sweat on her clothes.
Cao Yu slowly got up from the wooden platform, feeling a slight soreness in his arms and weakness throughout his body.
His gaze was fixed on Ma Xiaotao, who was still sitting on the wooden platform. Her hair was disheveled and draped over her back. Her long eyelashes were tightly closed, and her face was rosy. She sat there motionless.
Although her back was soaked with sweat.
But it's very tempting.
However, despite the temptation, Cao Yu had no intention of doing anything.
I'm so tired.
I simply savored the feeling.
The movement in his eyes seemed to strike her heart directly from behind, causing Ma Xiaotao to quickly open her eyes, turn her face to the side, and meet his gaze with her pale pink eyes, revealing a sweet smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Little Yu ~ little brother~"
When she spoke, her voice was slightly hoarse.
"Of course."
It was a strange feeling. Cao Yu looked directly at her and said, "Senior, could you...?"
"Um?"
"Senior, I've worked so hard, can you give me a reward?"
Ma Xiaotao blushed slightly and said softly, "Then... Little Yu ~ little brother, what kind of reward do you want?" Cao Yu replied seriously, "A hug isn't too much to ask, is it?"
She tossed her hair and stood up.
Is this the only request?
Is it alright?
" Little Yu ~ little brother~, why don't you suggest something even more outrageous?"
Those slightly exaggerated peaks.
Her stunning figure made Cao Yu involuntarily swallow hard.
"Senior, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Since you've said so, Little Yu, then I'll reward you next time."
She turned around, strode out of the secret room with her long legs, and only turned back to smile when she reached the door.
" Little Yu ~ Little brother~, see you next time."
Before Cao Yu could react, the door to the secret chamber was opened, and he was lifted into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Damn it, how dare they make fun of me!
I didn't get any advantage this time.
I'm so angry.
Why are you walking so fast?
They said they could go a little too far, but then they turned around and ran away.
He was definitely saying one thing and meaning another.
If I don't take advantage of you next time, I'm not surnamed Cao.
Dejected, he returned to his dorm room, lay down on his bed, and fell asleep immediately. He wasn't in the mood to do the dream mission today; he'd take it easy for a day.
As he fell asleep, a pair of eyes opened across the bed and stared intently at him.
Without realizing it, everything seemed so natural.
Only after a long time did a sigh come from the other side, and at that moment, those eyes finally closed.
Nothing happened that night; I slept soundly. When I woke up the next day, I heard birds chirping outside the window.
On the way to the cafeteria for breakfast, Cao Yu noticed that Wang Dong started talking less.
I have no idea what he was thinking.
He made a few jokes, but his enthusiasm wasn't high.
After having breakfast, I arrived at the teaching building, where it was bustling with activity.
The members who were divided into groups by Zhou Yi yesterday are now gathered in groups of three, seemingly discussing their tactics with each other.
When she saw the person she wanted to see, Xiao Xiao immediately waved to Cao Yu and then came forward.
Cao Yu and Wang Dong also walked over. Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly and said, "Good morning, Brother Yu."
Cao Yu nodded and said, "Good morning."
Xiao Xiao continued, "The assessment officially starts this afternoon, let's discuss and refine our tactics."
Wang Dong said nonchalantly, "There's nothing to study, just fight our way through."
"Hey! You surnamed Cao, aren't you right?" He nudged Cao Yu with his elbow and asked, turning his head to the side.
Cao Yu nodded and said, "You're right, that's what I think too."
Hmm, this child is teachable.
Wang Dong felt gratified to hear Cao Yu agree with his statement.
Xiao Xiao gently shook her head and said, "It's not that easy. I heard that each class has some exceptionally talented students who form an elite team."
They're all aiming for the championship, and these guys are tough to beat. We need to have great teamwork to have a chance."
Wang Dong smiled and said, "I'll tell you a secret, this guy surnamed Cao is already Soul Elder. With him around, what are we afraid of?"
"Huh? Brother Yu, you're already a Soul Elder?" Xiao Xiao looked at him in great surprise, as if it had all come so suddenly.
Cao Yu replied, "Yes."
Brother Yu is indeed a man of great talent; not only is he handsome, but he is also incredibly gifted.
She felt she hadn't misjudged him.
" Brother Yu, you're amazing!" At this moment, Xiao Xiao's eyes seemed to be filled with light, shining brightly.
Someone as outstanding as Brother Yu, it must be difficult to catch up with him, right?
But no matter what, Xiao Xiao was determined to make up her mind; the word "defeat" did not exist in her dictionary.
Seemingly unconcerned by Xiao Xiao's praise, he continued, "I'll try to conceal my strength as much as possible. You two will handle things upfront, and I'll take care of anything that comes up later."
Wang Dong asked, puzzled, "With your skills, the championship should be a piece of cake, right? There's no need to do this."
Cao Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not here to work for you. Besides, you need experience, otherwise what will you do without me?"
Do you understand the experience of participating in a competition?
What he said made a lot of sense. After thinking it through, Wang Dong's original idea of slacking off gradually faded away at that moment.
Unaffected by what had just been said, Xiao Xiao asked, "By the way Brother Yu, Wang Dong, what are the abilities that your Martial Soul excel at?"
Having been in Class One for so long, although everyone was familiar with each other, because they cultivated individually and didn't usually show it, they didn't really know what other people's Martial Soul were.
Wang Dong turned to look at Cao Yu, and seeing that he didn't intend to speak, he spoke first, "My Martial Soul can attack at both close and long range, and it can also fly."
Cao Yu then said, "My Second Martial Soul has an amplification attribute, which can increase movement speed, attack speed, and attack damage."
As for the ability of the main Martial Soul to Treasure Felling, it is currently useless because Soul Tool cannot be used during the assessment.
Moreover, the power of the main Martial Soul is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for these people; it's not worth using.
Seeing that Cao Yu was unwilling to say more, the two did not ask any further questions.
Before long, Xiao Xiao introduced her Martial Soul, namely the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the Ninephoenix Worshipping Flute, both of which are primarily for support and control.
After a moment, he knocked on the door and the room fell silent.
Zhou Yi stood at the classroom door, her right hand just lowered; it was the sound of her pounding on the door that had just been heard.
She said Leng Leng.
"I've already registered the participating teams. The competition officially starts this afternoon. In the ten rounds, you won't encounter each other; you'll only run into students from other classes."
After saying a few more words, she walked out of the classroom with unsteady steps, but the expression on her face remained as cold as ever.
Wang Dong whispered to Cao Yu, "You absolutely don't think Old Mrs. Zhou is getting more and more handsome."
Cao Yu grinned, a slightly exaggerated smile, his eyes seemingly brimming with a fascinating story.
"Handsome? He was indeed quite handsome in my dream, and very proactive too."
