Chapter 140 – Shook with fright


“That kid… He’s not panicking at all. It seems he’s very confident in his spiritual pet.”

Seeing this, Li Yuehai decided not to intervene further.

Since Hong Xiu had chosen to trust Ye Ling, it wasn’t appropriate for her to step in.

Seeing the Black Ravens that had already flown around the airship, ready to attack, she casually dealt with them.

Although it was meant to be a training exercise for the students to gain more combat experience, Li Yuehai would never truly leave the airship’s safety to Ye Ling and Yun Yi.

Their abilities were still limited; it was impossible for them to completely eliminate all the Black Ravens.

Therefore, at times like this, it naturally required her, Hong Xiu, and the other two Spirit Tamers to step in and deal with the stragglers.

“Caw, caw, caw!!”

“Caw, caw, caw!!”

Countless Black Ravens blotted out the sky, making it hard to imagine where so many of them had come from.

“Boom!!”

At this moment, a loud explosion came from the area where Blood Phantom had been surrounded by Black Ravens.

Blood Phantom, who had been encircled, broke through.

A large number of Black Ravens around her scattered, and many of them fell lifelessly to the ground.

Blood Phantom, now free from the encirclement, turned into a streak of blood-red light, darting through the Black Ravens with incredible speed.

With each pass, several Black Ravens fell straight down.

Without exception, all were injured by Blood Phantom, some even cut in half.

Blood splattered across the dark sky, and Blood Phantom seemed to be stimulated by the large amount of blood, her blood aura growing thicker and her speed increasing.

Like a red lightning bolt, she weaved through the Black Ravens, unstoppable.

“Amazing…”

Yun Yi, who had witnessed the scene clearly, was left speechless.

Only now did she realize that Ye Ling had not been using his full strength during their previous battle.

Thinking back, if Blood Phantom had gone all out then, her Frost Giant Bear would have been crushed instantly.

The Frost Giant Bear, which was continuously spewing frost, looked at the blood shadow in the sky and the Black Ravens falling around it.

Its eyes were filled with deep fear, and it shuddered at the thought.

Recalling the earlier battle, if it had faced Blood Phantom at full power, it was unimaginable what kind of torment it would have suffered.

At this thought, the Frost Giant Bear couldn’t help but tremble.

This tremble caused its frost breath to spread in waves.

“Huh? Big Bear, is this a new skill you’ve mastered? But you don’t have any new skills, do you?”

Seeing the sudden change in the frost, Yun Yi was surprised.

After stopping its frost breath, the Frost Giant Bear panted heavily, shaking its head tiredly.

It hadn’t mastered any new skills; it had just been so scared that it shivered.

At this moment, Ye Ling, who had been watching Blood Phantom, decided to take action.

“Spiritual Power Chains!”

In the sky, within the Black Raven flock, thick blue spiritual power chains suddenly appeared.

Caught off guard, the surrounding Black Ravens were hit by the chains.

Some were knocked off balance, while others were hit on the head and fell down dazed.

The task that had just been triggered only mentioned eliminating a certain number of Black Ravens within ten minutes, without specifying whether it had to be done by a person or a spiritual pet.

Given this, Ye Ling certainly wouldn’t just sit idly by.

Although Blood Phantom’s kill count was steadily rising, having an extra person to help was always beneficial.

Even killing one more was better than killing none.

Only Hong Xiu, representing the Academy, had seen the battle, so Li Yuehai was very surprised that Ye Ling could use a Second Level spiritual technique.

“How is this possible… He’s only at the First Rank, yet he can use Second Level Spiritual Power Chains. How did he achieve this?”

This was something Li Yuehai had never encountered in her entire life. Moreover, such a person had never appeared in the Federation’s history.

Li Yuehai’s astonished expression did not escape Hong Xiu’s notice.

Hong Xiu chuckled softly and said, “Yuehai, now you understand why I wanted to recruit him, right? Such an exceptional talent would be a huge loss if we didn’t bring him in.”

Finally, Li Yuehai understood why a male student had suddenly caught Hong Xiu’s eye and why the principal had allowed him to join Vermilion Bird Academy.

She didn’t say much, just nodded slightly.

Some things were easy to understand without needing much explanation.

“298, 299…”

The system’s count kept climbing, sometimes increasing by several at once.

The more it increased, the happier Ye Ling felt.

Because this meant the rewards he would receive later would be even richer.

Although he didn’t know what the final reward would be, it was definitely better to kill more.
