Chapter 164 – Island Survival (1/2)

The news of Saintess Snow and Archbishop Anderson arriving didn’t cause too much attention, since they were unrelated to the tournament and not many cared for the Holy Light Church.

The highlight was the upcoming tournament!

This day, the lakeside was bustling with noise and excitement, on one side was the lakeside filled with voices, on the other was Despair Island in the center of the lake.

All the various teams have finally arrived, each team formed a unit and sat on a small boat heading towards Despair island, read to fight for honor.

“The champion, huh…”

Out of everyone here, perhaps only Lin Xiao was so unenthusiastic. His mind wasn’t on the tournament, and he didn’t care about the results.

Loran Academy had both Caesar and Shen DaiYing, so not many people could threaten them, the only concern was whether they could take the championship.

Although Lin Xiao also wanted to take the championship, and it would be a good thing for him as well if they could personally receive the hero’s prize, there was someone on the team that was even more concerned than him, so he didn’t bother worrying.

With Caesar, what did he have to worry about?

Lin Xiao was worrying about what Snow told him yesterday.

Archbishop Anderson had some connection to the Lesser Devils, and was undoubtedly dangerous. Snow was just a child, no matter how smart, it won’t be easy, and she might even fall to his plots.

Lin Xiao had complicated feelings, one one hand, he was worried about Snow, and didn’t want her to risk her own life, wishing that he could do something for her. On the other, he was resistant and didn’t want to interfere with Snow’s life.

If it was possible, he wished that Snow would stay within his embrace forever as his obedient little sister. There’s nothing wrong with being blind, he’ll feed her meals, take her to the washroom, and sleep next to her.

Alas, that was just his own wishful thinking.

How could such an independent, staunch, willful, two-faced Snow be reduced to a little girl curling up in her brother’s embrace?

No, that kind of scene would only happen once in his life, never again.

“Sigh…” Lin Xiao helplessly sighed, held his head up with his hands, and looked out bored at the vast body of lake water surrounding them.

He was sitting in a small boat along with three other students, two teachers and a maid heading slowing towards the center island.

Woos sat at the bow of the ship with closed eyes holding a strange purple stone, seemingly the source of power for the small boat, controlled through magic power. The bald Momm was nervously looking left and right reporting the surroundings to Woos.

The tournament actually already started and arriving at their destination was the first step! If the picked a wrong spot, then they might be ambushed as soon as they go ashore, and breaking through would be difficult.

Although their team is strong, they had no need to increase the difficulty for themselves, so they should choose a less crowded place to dock to avoid unnecessary fights to preserve strength.

Earlier Woos already explained the tournament rules in detail to everyone.

Just one, mutual slaughter, last standing wins.

The island was surrounded by water, there were 120 teams and lasts a week. The tournament uses a point system, after a week, the team that didn’t lose any members and got the most points wins.

There were two ways of gaining points:

One was by collecting Silver Leaf fruits, this fruit was just as its name described, its leaves are a beautiful silver-white and the fruit was a pale yellow, containing special magic power. Right now was when it matured, so as long as they searched carefully they can find many on the island.

Every team received a rectangular translucent crystal, this can store the power of the fruit and display it as a number, every fruit as one point.

They would find the fruits and store the power with the crystal, after the week, the team with the most points wins.

Doesn’t that sound simple? As long as they were quick and collected the most fruits they would win.

The second way was the key to the tournament.

Which was plundering!
