Chapter 1495 - Another Day
Chapter 1495: Another Day
“Master…”
Raphaella unleashed another round of spell techniques upon the Ancient Dragon Empress with a sympathetic expression on her face.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was feeling very depressed. She didn’t want to admit to her loss, but she really didn’t think that she could carry on any longer.
Tina stuck out her little tongue and flew toward the Ancient Dragon Empress with a concerned expression. “Teacher, are you alright?”
The Ancient Dragon Empress forced a smile onto her face and shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m just… a little tired, and I need some rest…”
“Oh, that makes sense. You’ve endured so many battles in quick succession, after all. You have to look after yourself and take care that you don’t overexert yourself.” Tina flew over to the Ancient Dragon Empress and held onto one of the Ancient Dragon Empress’ fingers with a pure and innocent expression on her face.
Ancient Dragon Empress: “…”
Did she seriously not know that she was the one who had forced her into overexertion?
After grumbling internally to herself for a while, a wave of lingering fear swept through her heart. She really wasn’t sure what would have happened if she hadn’t defended herself against that fairy’s attack with all her might.
She suddenly recalled something the fairy had said, and she turned toward her with an expression of astonishment and confusion. “You said you were the heavens within the Divine Mirror World? Are you a God of Creation?”
“Ehehe…” Tina chuckled as she recalled An Lin’s words of caution, and she put on a confused expression. “Did I say that? I don’t recall saying anything like that.”
Ancient Dragon Empress: “…”
If she didn’t want to admit it, then the Ancient Dragon Empress wasn’t going to force her.
However, the Four Nine Immortal Sect was becoming more and more mysterious and powerful in her heart. As expected, only a freakish sect leader like An Lin could lead a bunch of insane prodigies like this…
Raphaella was also in complete shock and awe.
She knew that the Ancient Dragon Empress had just unleashed one of the most powerful Heaven Crushing Techniques, and she was still only barely able to defend herself from that last attack. It was clear to see how powerful her opponent was.
“Student Tina, your heaven crushing aptitude is nothing short of extraordinary. Keep this up, and you will surely go very far on the path to crushing the heavens. I no longer have anything to teach you…”
The Ancient Dragon Empress had not forgotten her duty and delivered an objective appraisal.
Thus, another student successfully graduated…
She had only been teaching for ten days, and there were already two graduates. She didn’t know whether she should be happy or sad about this…
“Thank you, Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress.” Tina bowed with an elated expression.
The Ancient Dragon Empress stood up again, and her features were noticeably pale from overexertion.
She looked at the students nearby with a complex expression.
She was going to use these trials to show these students how much improvement they needed to make. This was supposed to be her time to shine.
But why was she in such a sorry state now? Aside from Yao Mingxi and Da Bai having ordinary aptitudes, all of the other students had insanely good heaven crushing aptitudes! It didn’t make sense…
The Ancient Dragon Empress was very depressed, but unbeknown to her, Yao Mingxi was even more depressed!
He had heaved a sigh of relief after hearing from Raphaella that nine out of ten Return to Void Stage mighty figures had ordinary aptitudes.
What happened after that? Every single subsequent f*cking person had an exceptional or extraordinary aptitude, while he was the only one with ordinary aptitude!
Was there something wrong with him?
The Return to Void Stage sword immortal, Yao Mingxi, was too embarrassed to even face anyone!
However, as the sect leader, An Lin was feeling quite elated.
He was hoping that the powerful beings of his sect would vindicate Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress’ efforts by putting up good performances, and Tina and Bai Ling had done so to perfection…
The Ancient Dragon Empress must be quite happy now, right?
He turned toward the Ancient Dragon Empress, and a sense of profound respect welled up in his heart at the sight of her pale and exhausted features. “Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, thank you for your hard work!”
The Ancient Dragon Empress was given a fright, and she turned to An Lin. “Why are you suddenly saying that?”
“I just felt like you’ve been working very hard, so I wanted to thank you…” An Lin was a little confused by the Ancient Dragon Empress’ panicked reaction.
Xu Xiaolan led her phoenix over to them. “Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, Little Huang and I would like to form a partnership and—”
“Another day! I’ll do your trial another day!” The Ancient Dragon Empress shuddered at the direction that this was going.
Everyone: “…”
Tina and Bai Ling weren’t even at the Dao Integration Stage yet, but they were already this terrifying. This Divine Phoenix Maiden and her phoenix were both Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures! Their partnership would be far too fearsome to face!
The Ancient Dragon Empress had completely forgotten the fact that she was also a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure.
“Oh…” Xu Xiaolan seemed to be a little disappointed, and the excitement in her eyes was replaced by a sense of reluctance. “When are we doing my trial then?”
“This…” The Ancient Dragon Empress faltered slightly before adopting the expression of a brave warrior who was ready to die for her cause. “Three days from now.”
She would be fully recovered after three days.
After that, fate would decide whether she lived or died…
Huh? Wait, why am I having thoughts like this?
The Ancient Dragon Empress came to her senses and realized that she was the fourth heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crushing Sect! How could she display weakness and vulnerability in front of her students?
She was extremely humiliated and remorseful for her pessimism, and her battle intent raged in her heart.
She wasn’t even afraid of the heavens, so what did she have to fear from a woman and her bird?
“Two days!” the Ancient Dragon Empress amended with a firm expression.
“Huh?” No one knew what the Ancient Dragon Empress was talking about.
“I’m saying that I’ll conduct Xu Xiaolan and the phoenix’s heaven crushing trial two days later!” The Ancient Dragon Empress wore an expression of unyielding conviction.
An Lin: “…”
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
Had Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress been provoked somehow?
Wasn’t she only making a decision to conduct the trial a day in advance? Why was she making it seem like such a big deal?
Only Raphaella knew how difficult that decision must have been for the Ancient Dragon Empress.
The Ancient Dragon Empress had to go back and rest, and all of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members bowed in unison. “Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress!”
The Ancient Dragon Empress couldn’t repress her tears any longer upon hearing this.
She was not moved by her students’ respectful farewell. Instead, she was shedding tears for herself.
She was full of vigor when she had first come to the Four Nine Immortal Sect, only to be so intimidated by her students that she didn’t even dare to continue the trials anymore. This was something she had never anticipated. The Ancient Dragon Empress’ breathing accelerated as this notion occurred to her.
She was a disgrace to the Heaven Crushing Sect!
“Raphaella, quick, cast another one of your heart resuscitation techniques!” The Ancient Dragon Empress looked like she was about to pass out from hyperventilation.
“Yes, Master!” Raphaella immediately obliged with a sympathetic expression.
An Lin looked up at the two women flying into the distance, and he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “What a dutiful and responsible teacher…”
