Seeing Yi Yun appear, Zhou Kui licked his lips. Zhou Kui had been disappointed not to see Yi Yun today. His strength had increased and his abilities had improved. All this was to prove himself.
And Yi Yun was the best opponent!
A month ago, he had been undermined by Yi Yun. Today, he wanted to exceed Yi Yun and regain his face. Without Yi Yun, he felt like he had punched cotton.
“That… Instructor Qin, I just arrived now. Can I still take part in the assessment?” Yi Yun asked weakly, awaiting Baldy Qin’s instructions.
Since he was so late, Baldy Qin had all the right to disqualify him from the assessment.
Baldy Qin snorted back coldly, “Go on up. Don’t forget what you came to the Tai Ah Divine City for!”
Baldy Qin reminded Yi Yun again not to undermine his cultivation for a pointless job. He really did not understand why Yi Yun loved picking herbs that much.
“Haha, come on!” The most excited person was Zhou Kui. “How about it? You must have gotten quite a lot from picking a month’s worth of herbs! I heard you even applied for seven days of continuous herb-picking. Why did you come back early?”
Zhou Kui smiled at Yi Yun. His arms were crossed across his chest and he casually leaned on a Primal Arrow. This Primal Arrow was one of the two he had inserted in.
He had inserted two Primal Arrows. One was firmly inserted into the purple tungsten wall, but the other was not as firm. The other end of the arrow’s shaft was slowly sagging downwards.
Even so, this was a result to be proud of. Zhou Kui was the only person among the hundred people who was able to insert a second Primal Arrow.
“Because of obtaining a pretty good harvest, I came back early.” Yi Yun said simply.
“Harvest? You got a plentiful harvest while picking herbs? Hehe.” Zhou Kui found it amusing. Could picking a few herbs be considered “pretty good”? What was there to be happy about?
“Yi Yun, you picked herbs for a month. So it’s not fair competing against you. But since it’s your choice, you can’t blame anyone else. Today, I’ll show you what a real harvest is!”
Zhou Kui shook his fists. In this past month, he had burst numerous blisters on his hands. His blood had been mixed with sweat. Holding the hot forging hammer through some cloth, the pain was excruciating. Despite it being memorable to Zhou Kui, it also made him surge with pride.
This was the life of a man, was it not?
How could the herb-picking lifestyle of a woman compare with his?
But Yi Yun said, “You don’t have to. I’ll do it with you. I’m in a hurry and someone might be looking for me in a while.”
As Yi Yun said this, he stood in front of the large metal box that contained the Primal Arrows. His tone was casual, but this tone made Zhou Kui frown. He was unhappy. It seemed like Yi Yun did not even care much about this assessment.
This kid! Who do you think you are? And there was someone else who wants to meet him, who was it? Another medicine kid he picks herb with?
He sure had turned into a celebrity and he was busy enough!
Zhou Kui rubbed his wrists. He took a deep breath and bent his back. He hugged the third Primal Arrow.
Today, I’ll show you the results of the grueling demon-like training I endured through from forging metal!
Zhou Kui got into a firm horse-riding stance. Both his feet was planted firmly on the ground. With his lower body stable, he passed his strength from his spine to his shoulders then to his arms!
His muscles swelled up, with vein after vein popping out. Just as he was about to shout out to lift up the third Primal Arrow, he heard a deafening “Dang” sound. He nearly let out his breath!
What’s the matter?
Zhou Kui turned around and his eyes widened.
Behind him, a Primal Arrow was firmly embedded into the purple tungsten wall. The end of the arrow shaft was still vibrating. It was not because it was unstable, but because the power at which it was inserted with was too large. It had nowhere to dissipate the energy and so it could only vibrate to get rid of it!
This vibration could hurt anyone who came too close!
The Primal Arrow had been inserted at least three feet deep!
Wh… What?
Zhou Kui was dumbfounded. This arrow was inserted by Yi Yun?
How did he do it so quickly!?
