Chapter 188 - The Chosen One
Chapter 188 The Chosen One
Yu Huang did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, “I’m a Purifying Spirit Master. Sooner or later, I’ll go to the Purifying Spirit Department to cultivate.”
“Then let’s finish my Beast Tamer course first, and then go to the Jingling faculty to learn.” Gold Ingot pointed at the sea in front of him and said, “From today onwards, you will cultivate in the sea for me. When you can swim to the end of the sea from here in one go, you can graduate from me.”
Yu Huang was speechless.
Gold Ingot kicked Yu Huang into the sea without forgetting to place a pressure stone on her head.
After that, Yu Huang would swim in the sea during the day while Gold Ingot would float on the surface of the sea to fish. At night, Yu Huang would swim in the sea while Gold Ingot would cook seafood under the moonlight.
When she was tired, Yu Huang floated on the surface of the sea and rested for a while. When she was hungry, she begged Gold Ingot to give her a bite to eat.
Day after day, month after month, in the blink of an eye, Yu Huang had been cultivating in the sea for more than a month. On this day, Yu Huang was resting when she suddenly heard a strange sound.
That voice was filled with energy, causing Yu Huang’s ears to ache. Gold Ingot heard the commotion and flipped the squid in his hand. A creepy smile appeared on his face as he lowered his head to roast the squid seriously.
Yu Huang dived into the sea while planning to see what it was.
She flipped over and dived into the sea, only to be met with a pair of huge golden eyes that were far away.
It was that ancient alligator!
When Yu Huang saw the dean’s ancient alligator, the spiritual energy in her entire body became sluggish and she was unable to move.
The ancient alligator suddenly rushed towards Yu Huang and used its head to pull her out of the sea. Like a rubber ball, it threw Yu Huang into the sky.
“Ah!”
Yu Huang was thrown high into the sky, then smashed into the deep sea. The high pressure in the sea caused Yu Huang to feel suffocated.
The ancient alligator seemed to have found an interesting toy. After Yu Huang tried her best to swim from the bottom of the sea to the surface, it wagged its tail and ran towards her before lifting her up and throwing her into the sky again.
Yu Huang fell into the deep sea once again. She held her breath and circulated her spirit energy while waving her arms and legs as she swam towards the surface.
She had no choice. If she did not swim to the surface, she would drown.
Yu Huang was played around by the ancient alligator for an entire day. It was only until late at night that the ancient alligator finally lost interest in her.
The ancient alligator transformed into a smiling old man and he said to her while standing on the surface of the sea, “Little fellow, your endurance is pretty good. Continue to persevere.”
Yu Huang wanted to stand up and bow to the Headmaster, but she was so tired that she could not even move her fingers. She floated on the sea and weakly called out to the Headmaster. It could be considered as exchanging greetings.
The dean chuckled and walked to the shore. He took a tuna from Gold Ingot and sat on the ground to eat it.
Gold Ingot asked him, “Sir, are you interested in playing with my student for a few more days?”
The dean smiled at the child on the sea and said, “This child is very tenacious. When I see her, I think of Mingjue.”
Gold Ingot also said, “I remember that the dean also trained Yin Mingjue this way back then.”
“Yeah.”
Thinking of his only disciple, the dean could not help but feel a little sad. He looked at Yu Huang and could not help but sigh, “If my little grand-disciple did not die, she would be almost 20 years old this year.”
Thinking of his little grand-disciple, the dean instantly felt that the tuna in his mouth was tasteless.
Gold Ingot had never seen the child before, but he knew that Yin Mingjue had a cute daughter. He said, “Maybe the child isn’t dead yet.”
“I hope so.” After the principal finished eating the tuna, he saw that Yu Huang was almost done resting. He transformed into an ancient alligator and continued to play with Yu Huang.
Just like that, spring was about to pass, and a new round of arena matches was held in the academy. Yu Huang thought that Gold Ingot would let her participate in the arena matches, but Gold Ingot said, “You don’t have to participate in the arena matches this time.” Yu Huang hurriedly asked, “Why?” “There’s no need for that. You should focus on your cultivation and quietly become stronger. Wouldn’t it be great if you could amaze everyone with a single brilliant feat?”
Yu Huang rolled her eyes. “Practice first. You can leave after the annual assessment mission is issued in July.”
The academy’s annual assessment mission was a mission that every student had to complete. Yu Huang was no exception. When she thought about how she still had to soak in this water for another five months, Yu Huang only felt despair.
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of June.
That night, Yu Huang sat cross-legged on the surface of the sea while meditating under the moonlight. Suddenly, she sensed waves of faint red spirit energy burrowing into her body. She opened her eyes and stared at the spirit energy aura surging in from all directions while feeling somewhat shocked.
When Gold Ingot saw this, he said, “You are going to enter the late-stage of the Scholar Realm.” Gold Ingot reached out and pulled back the pressure stone on Yu Huang’s head. He instructed Yu Huang, “Calm your mind and focus your spiritual energy.” Without the restraint of the pressure stone, the spiritual energy in Yu Huang’s body began to circulate at high speed. She was like a magnet, madly absorbing the spirit energy into her body. In next to no time, Yu Huang was enveloped by light red spirit energy.
Right at this moment, another wave of faint golden light that was almost invisible to the naked eye emerged from the sea and surged towards Yu Huang. Gold Ingot immediately sat up straight when he saw the faint golden light.
The power of the Divine Master!
He stared at Yu Huang with a complicated expression.
Yu Huang once again comprehended the power of the Divine Master.
This child was truly the chosen one.
The power of the Divine Master surged into her body, and Yu Huang’s consciousness was stripped away once again. She appeared in the pyramid world once again. As the saying goes, one became more familiar the second time. This time, after Yu Huang entered the pyramid, she didn’t dare to delay any longer and rushed straight into the pyramid to cultivate.
She sat cross-legged at the center of the pyramid and took out a dark black Monster Core from her interspatial ring. The Monster Core was imprinted with red ape patterns. This Monster Core was dug out from the body of a seriously injured red-furred ape in the abyss last year. That red-furred ape had the ability to steal people’s thoughts and listen to their hearts.
Yu Huang muttered to herself for a moment before tossing the Monster Core into the air. She used her Spiritual Force to slowly disperse the demonic power within the Monster Core.
The demonic power in the Monster Core was dispelled by the Psychic powers. They surged out of the Monster Core and turned into dark black lights that floated out of the pyramid and landed on the ground. When the power of the Monster Core completely disappeared, Yu Huang swallowed it.
Even though it had lost its demonic power, the Monster Core still had a demonic nature. After it was swallowed by Yu Huang, it immediately transformed into a red-furred ape and roared at Yu Huang.
“Shameless human! How dare you refine me!”
Yu Huang snorted and seriously made a suggestion to the red-haired ape. She said, “Monkey, if you have the ability, you can refine me too.”
“You!”
The monkey didn’t have the ability.
Yu Huang instantly released her spirit energy and wrapped it around the Monster Core before slowly absorbing the Monster Core’s demon technique.
As she was immersed in her cultivation, she did not notice that a patch of green grass had grown on the vast desert outside the pyramid.
The grass was very fragile. They swayed in the wind, and the wind blew in that direction, but they continued to grow tenaciously.
This world suddenly had life.
