Chapter 118 Return
Chapter 118 Return
The moment Qi Yu entered the portal, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, and then his body was pulled forward uncontrollably, just like when he entered the portal at the beginning of the trial.
It was unknown how long it took Qi Yu to stand still again. When he looked up, he found that the scenery around him had changed. At this moment, he was standing in the central square of the Wood Element Academy. The platform made of vines was still in the center of the square, but the number of people standing on it had increased from 3 to 7.
Qi Yu glanced around and found that there were many other apprentices around, also looking around. These should be the apprentices who arrived earlier than him. Some of them were clean and had arrogant expressions, while others were in tattered clothes and looked dejected.
Portals continued to appear in the sky from time to time, and along with the portals, other apprentices fell out of them. Qi Yu looked around but did not see Su Yuhong, so he hurriedly looked around for her.
While searching for Su Yuhong, he also kept an eye out for Ye Junze. After all, he was not sure whether he was dead at that time. If he came back, then he was not dead. If he did not come back, then he was probably dead. As for where the body was, Qi Yu still couldn't figure it out.
Finally, when he walked to the corner where he met Su Yuhong before the trial began, he found that the beautiful figure was still standing there, but he did not see any trace of Ye Junze along the way.
Qi Yu walked quickly to her side, took her hand, and then smiled at her. The latter responded to him with a charming smile, and then let him hold her hand.
This action immediately attracted the attention of the people around, and they all looked at the two in shock. Although the two were standing in a corner at this time, their masks were lost in the battle, so that her identity as the student council president would make her the focus of everyone even if she was standing in a hidden place.
When everyone saw that the person holding Su Yuhong's hand was Qi Yu, they felt mixed emotions. Some people nodded in relief, thinking that it was as it should be. Some people were instantly defeated and glared at Qi Yu. Some people looked at the two of them with stars in their eyes, feeling that they were being touched again.
Just when a few "defense breakers" could not help but rush over, the voice of an old man on the high platform in the central area suddenly came over:
"All the participants in the trial have returned. Those of you who have returned alive are the pride of the academy. I believe that after the baptism of nature, your bodies, wills, and even souls have been sublimated. For those who did not return alive, everything they have will return to the embrace of the 'Mother'."
Qi Yu, Su Yuhong and several people around them all looked up at the podium, and saw seven people in director-level robes standing in a row on the podium. The person leading them was very old, with white hair and wrinkles on his face. Although his voice was old, it was full of energy.
Su Yuhong quickly pulled Qi Yu towards the central area, saying as they walked: "Let's go there quickly, the ranking list will be announced soon, and I feel that your ranking this time will definitely scare those old men."
Qi Yu and the other person quickly reached the central area and, like the other apprentices, looked up at the old man who was speaking.
After the old man saw that he had successfully attracted the attention of most people, he cleared his throat and said, "Next, we will let the just, merciful, and almighty Mother reveal to us everything that happened during the trial. Praise the Mother!"
Then the apprentices below all shouted loudly: "Praise the mother!" Qi Yu was already accustomed to this, so he also shouted the slogan loudly.
Although he felt calm inside, he was only concerned about the next ranking, and he was also very curious about what format this ranking would take.
Seeing the pious scene below, the old man nodded slightly, then signaled with his eyes to a director behind him. The latter understood and stretched out his hands. Then a giant tree broke through the soil, rose from the ground and reached the sky.
Qi Yu looked closely and found that this was not a giant tree, but a huge vine covered with thorns. Qi Yu used the system to identify it and was surprised to find that this was not the director's magical creation, but a living creature.
As the appraisal started, Qi Yu was stunned when he looked at the name. He saw a name prominently displayed above all the question marks: [Mother of Nature - Flower of the Century].
Qi Yu exclaimed in his heart, Wow! He didn't expect that he could actually invite the "Mother" here. Originally, he thought that this old charlatan was just like before, mindlessly praising the Flower of the Century.
Looking at the huge vine, Qi Yu roughly estimated it according to its proportions. If it was just a vine this long, then its body would hardly be able to fit the entire academy.
The old man on the high platform slowly announced: "Mother's mercy will heal your body, praise Mother!"
Then, the vine swept gently in the air, and a beam of emerald green light covered all the apprentices below.
The injured apprentices suddenly felt warm in their bodies, and their wounds began to heal gradually. Su Yuhong also squinted her eyes, enjoying this warm current.
Qi Yu stood there helplessly, and saw that under his robe, the dark air from the wounds isolated all the green energy, so that he could only feel the chill.
The old man then added: "Mother's love will cleanse your soul. Praise Mother!"
Then, a green light vibrated from the vine again. As the green light merged into his body, Qi Yu suddenly had a strange feeling. Then he heard the system prompt sound:
“Ding! Blessed by the high-energy mana source, mana limit +10.”
Qi Yu's heart suddenly moved. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. He glanced at the SP which had reached 170 points due to the upgrade. Qi Yu's mouth curled up slightly. It's better to have it than nothing.
Then the old man continued, "Mother's justice will reward your bravery. Praise Mother."
The vine made a circle in front of the platform, and a magic circle suddenly appeared in the circle. The director nodded to the old man, and the old man began to shout:
"Next, under the witness of my mother, all the trial participants will be ranked. Those who rank high will receive generous rewards!"
Qi Yu was immediately cheered up. What he had been expecting finally came. After all, with this, he would be able to know whether Ye Junze was dead or not.
The old man on the stage then took out a list and said, "Next, I will read it out in order. Please come up and evaluate the points if your name is read out."
