Chapter 139 (1/2)
Before the monthly assessment began, Young Ke and Fatty Middle-aged had already stood outside the assessment area. Their eyes fell unintentionally or intentionally on one of the arenas.
“This bet is… really funny,” Fatty Middle-aged looked slightly different.
“It’s ridiculous. She’s the only one who can do such a thing!” Young Ke frowned and a hint of anger appeared on her delicate face.
Even now, she could not forgive Young Man.
“Don’t be so sure. Lin Xun has been with Old Mo these days. Maybe Young Man just saw some possibility so she made such a bet regardless,” Fatty Middle-aged gently pacified her.
“Old Mo?” Young Ke’s face became colder. “If he dared to help Lin cheat, I will punish him first!”
Fatty Middle-aged were worried that Young Ke obviously hated Young Man so much and the attitude of Young Ke towards Young Man could not be easily changed.
He said helplessly, “You have no confidence in Lin Xun at all?”
Young Ke was in a daze, kept quiet for a moment and said, “I believe he can pass the monthly assessment. But do you believe that he will be the first one who kills the Barbarian Soldier?”
Fatty Middle-aged thought carefully about it and eventually smiled bitterly; he said with uncertainty, “Maybe…a miracle will happen?”
Young Ke frowned and glanced coldly at him, “You don’t believe it either, so why you come to persuade me? In my opinion, the miracle you just said c…”
Before she finished her words, Young Ke was suddenly stunned when she saw the scene at the distant arena.
Almost at the same time, Fatty Middle-aged’s body was stiff, and a horrible light burst out of his small eyes.
The arena where Lin Xun stood was covered with a spatter of fantastic silver arrow rain!
It was like a firework show, as mysterious as the stars, as dazzling as snow, spreading a kind of breathtaking beauty in the air.
That kind of beauty eclipsed the world, and made the soul drown!
In this moment, Young Ke and Fatty Middle-aged forgot to breathe, seeing this beautiful but powerful arrow rain! Both of them were in a trance.
It was easy for them to find out that all this was rooted in the seemingly unimpressive crossbow in Lin Xun’s hand.
But they just could not figure out how this crossbow could release such fantastic but terrible power.
Ding!
A miraculous wave made a sound and Young Ke and Fatty Middle-aged suddenly came to their senses. They looked at that arena where the light curtain had disappeared, and found that Lin Xun stood alone there.
At Lin Xun’s feet, lay Fire Barbarian Bafu, whose body was riddled with bowl-sized bloody holes, especially on his face was also a smooth and orderly bloody hole. This scene was so terrifying and numbed people.
In addition, more than twenty sharp arrows with silver luster were inserted into different positions of the arena, emitting chilling light.
This scene shocked Fatty Middle-aged. He murmured, “Has it been only less than five seconds since the assessment began?”
“Three seconds,” Young Ke said two words in a low voice and looked odd.
For a moment, both of them were silent. It only took three seconds to kill a barbarian soldier! They knew what it meant.
“Isn’t that a miracle?” Fatty Middle-aged was in a daze.
Young Ke was speechless.
In the temporary central camp.
Shu Sanqi looked at the optical screens which showed the scenes of the major assessment areas. His eyes had been locked on the assessment areas of camps 7, 15, 22 and 31.
More specifically, he had been watching several trainees, including Bai Lingshi, Zhao Yin, Zhangsun Heng, and Lee Duxing.
He would take a look at the optical screen of Camp 39 for Lin Xun occasionally. He showed slightly different while watching Lin Xun.
Until the beginning of the quarterly assessment, Shu Sanqi suddenly turned his head and looked at Young Man next to him. She seemed calm, but in a flash, Shu Sanqi found she was not as unperturbed as she looked.
At least Young Man’s clenched fists and slightly widened pupils had showed that she was extremely nervous at this moment.
This made Shu Sanqi sigh secretly, “Why worry yourself sick?”
Ding!
Suddenly, an optical screen rippled. Shu Sanqi was heartened that someone had killed his opponent just after the beginning bell.
But when he saw clearly the first trainee who killed the barbarian soldier, Shu Sanqi’s expression suddenly became weird. How could it be him?
At that moment, Young Man was stunned. She rubbed her eyes hard until she was sure that all this was true. She could not help laughing in high spirit, her eyebrows were dancing with pleasure, and she almost jumped up.
“Chief Shu, I won!” Young Man spoke out this simple sentence with indescribable excitement and joy. Her eyes were shining.
Shu Sanqi was also shocked for a while. His fingertip slightly slid the optical screen. The scene that Lin Xun killed the barbarian just now reappeared in front of him.
