Chapter 2032: Examination (4)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue felt like she had come back to life as if she could breathe again. She laid down unglamorously on the floor while taking her pills as she waited for her body to recuperate.
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
Sima You Yue was omnipotent and was held high up above in the hearts of everyone. At the same time, they thought that a person like her merely had good talents and a good environment. However, now they knew how hardworking she was. Apart from being talented, she was very hardworking.
No. Hardworking was an understatement. They probably should say that she was hardworking to the point of sacrificing her own life. If they were in her shoes, they would have surrendered long ago as they would not have been able to preserve till the end, Not to mention that they wouldn’t have the mind and energy to fix up an array to get themselves some time to breathe.
She… was capable and worked hard!
That was the reason why she could grow to this height!
At this moment, no one thought that she looked bad. On the contrary, in their hearts, she looked even better than she usually did. Many of them told themselves that they should work harder next time!
The pills quickly stopped the bleeding while her spiritual energy recovered. She was weak as she lay on the floor and she looked up at the blue sky, trying to wrap her head around how she should break the array. She did not care how others saw her or thought about her.
Time passed slowly, and she finally sat up after resting for a long half an hour.
The attacks were still there. Although it was weakened, it was still difficult for her as she had some serious injuries on her body.
She sat in her own array as she took out some array stones and slowly arranged them. The image of a body that was filled with blood and malevolent scars slowly imprinted itself in the hearts of everyone. From then on, no one would be more beautiful than her.
After a while, she tightened the corner of her lips and got up. Many people smiled along with her.
Sima You Yue took the array stone and went to the edge of her array. The moment she removed the array, she disappeared.
She disappeared and appeared, disappeared and appeared again. Even though the attacks hadn’t lessened, she didn’t get injured and it was much easier than just now.
Hu Hu laughed, “She found the pattern of the killing array!”
“Not bad, not bad!” Ning Tian Ya praised her ability and unwavering determination.
After Sima You Yue walked around in the array for a while, she hit the array stone and the attacks suddenly disappeared. Then, she walked out of the trapping array.
She finally passed this round!
Sima You Yue lifted her head as she looked at Wu Lingyu, who was on the platform, and smiled. Wu Lingyu replied to her with a smile as the tightened fist in his sleeve finally relaxed.
Jealousy.
Many people felt their hearts turn sour. Her smile was for Wu Lingyu alone. They envied him badly, but what could be done? What were they to do even if they felt like beating Wu Lingyu up?
Sima You Yue came to the platform and said, “Master, I’m out.”
Hu Hu nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, you have passed my test.”
“It’s been two days. We will continue with the other tests after you recuperate.” Ning Tian Ya said.
“It’s fine, Sect Master.” Sima You Yue continued, “These are just superficial wounds, there’s no need to rest.”
Even though she said this, everyone gave her half a day to rest. Also, everyone was willing to wait for her right here.
Sima You Yue took some healing pills. There were also pills for mental energy. She made use of the time to get changed to get some rest in Spirit Pagoda.
Half a day later, she appeared in front of everyone again with much more energy.
“Sect Master, let’s begin!”
“Alright. Which one of you is next?” Ning Tian Ya asked.
“I’ll go.” Lu Yan continued, “In view of your condition, our sect will test you on something simpler. You’ll just have to perform a tune. There is no need to attack, as long as you are able to get everyone here into your mirage.”
Everyone threw up blood together.
When he said that his Sect would test her on something simpler, they thought he would cut her some slack and test her something easier. They didn’t expect that he was a fraud similar to the ones before!
She was already tired, and he still wanted her to enchant everyone present! Their minds were all conscious and well, so how strong of a sound attack did it have to be in order to enchant everyone?
Many of them were wondering if they would be caught if they just acted like they were enchanted. They would just put on an act if they wouldn’t get caught.
Sima You Yue didn’t have any objections as she took out a black instrument. She tested the sound to make sure all the tunes were right.
“What instrument is that? Why have I not seen this before?”
“This sounded like a flute but it also sounded like pipes, it sounded nice.”
“Let’s see what melody she can play.”
“I’ll be enchanted in a while regardless of what melody she plays.”
“Mm, I’ll definitely be enchanted as well!”
They were so sure of themselves that everyone knew what they meant.
Mm, they would definitely be enchanted!
Their actions wouldn’t be able to trick those old folks on the platform.
“These bastards, don’t they know that they can’t pretend to have that effect?” Ni Le was amused.
“I haven’t seen the members in the Sect so united before.” Hu Hu continued, “There wouldn’t be so many problems if they were always so united.”
“It’s good like this too.” He Lan laughed.
Sima You Yue didn’t know to laugh or cry after hearing them say this, but at the same time, she was grateful for their kindness.
“Let’s begin.” Lu Yan instructed.
Sima You Yue placed the flute on her lips as the melodious tune echoed throughout the Northern Arena.
“Her instrument is simple with little adjustments to the tune, will this work?” He Lan asked Lu Yan.
“I don’t know, you’ll have to see how she improvises.” Lu Yan continued, “Also, this is the first time I’ve heard this melody from her.”
“She is taking some risks.” He Lan said.
“Don’t you know her well enough? She’s not afraid of taking risks. If she was, she wouldn’t have been able to pass the array test earlier on.”
“That’s true.”
The melody that Sima You Yue played was a melody that she always played in the past, before she set out on a long journey for a mission, which would put her in her homeland’s scenery. It always calmed her down.
The melody wasn’t long. No one thought differently when the first verse was played, they thought it was a nice melody and followed the simple tunes which gave them a faint homesick feeling.
On the second verse, their minds no longer thought about other matters as they followed the tune.
Once the third and fourth verse played, the homesickness disappeared and a scene of a vast world with fog appeared in front of their eyes with a long river flowing alone. Slowly, a living creature came out from the water.. The living creature reproduced continuously, from the waters to continents as it multiplied into different kinds of breeds, at the end, the living creatures vanished, which left the lonely flowing river again.
