Chapter 882: Chapter 887: The Final Test 2
Su Tang’s smile cooled as the three of them approached, her face spelling out her displeasure.
Bai Que was the first to run out.
His face and body were covered in blood and a mixture of red and black substances, making him look both disheveled and slovenly.
He stopped in front of Su Tang, his eyes filled with complexity, "There’s really no need to make it so obvious."
Once Su Tang realized what he meant, she turned her face away awkwardly, thinking to herself, darn, I’ve been caught.
Just as she was about to say something to make amends, she suddenly saw Bai Que hurtling straight towards her!
Su Tang’s first reaction was, am I being scammed?
By then it was too late to dodge, and Bai Que was strong and sturdy, definitely not someone she could support.
Su Tang placed her hands in front of her, closed her eyes in fear, and braced herself to be knocked over by Bai Que.
Then the next second.
She heard several ’plop’ sounds in succession.
When Su Tang opened her eyes, she saw Gaiyin standing beside her with a face full of exasperation while Bai Que lay on the ground about ten meters away from her, next to the unconscious forms of Xuan Shui and Chi Tree.
Su Tang’s eyebrows danced with mischief, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted as she silently praised in her mind: Well done!
"The fifth round of the challenge has ended. There are 5 competitors remaining. Please adjust your condition and pass through the Vortex Gate before the countdown ends. Those who haven’t left when the countdown ends will be automatically transported."
Su Tang immediately straightened up, her eyes shining, "We can leave now? Let’s hurry before they wake up, let’s go, let’s go!"
As soon as her words fell, a pained groan came from nearby.
Su Tang: ...Such a buzzkill!
Bai Que was the first to wake up, and through his groggy vision, he saw the backs of Gaiyin’s group leaving. Pushing through his discomfort, he slapped the sleeping Xuan Shui and Chi Tree awake.
The three of them, mustering their spirits and enduring the pain, staggered towards the Vortex Gate with uneven steps.
When they had first come out, they had all heard the steward, Sang Duo, announce that the points exchange cottage would open for the last time.
In this round of the challenge, they had almost lost their lives in the quest for more points. It would be a pity not to exchange those points for something they desired.
Bai Que looked at Chi Tree with a cold gaze, "How many points do you have?"
Chi Tree’s breathing became erratic, a hint of unwillingness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly composed himself and replied obediently, "936 points."
Bai Que then turned his attention to Xuan Shui, who immediately said, "I have a little more than him, I have 1012 points."
Thinking of his own 1396 points, Bai Que silently nodded. If there was an Advanced Cultivation Technique volume available this time, he had to get it no matter what.
If not—
The light in Bai Que’s eyes dimmed as he quickened his steps.
Accompanied by the strange music, they arrived at the points exchange cottage.
As soon as they entered, they saw Su Tang waving at him eagerly as if she had seen a relative.
"Bai Que, come here, come here! Look what I found for you?"
Seeing the sphere emitting a faint golden light, Bai Que was moved.
He approached to inspect it and it was indeed the treasure he had been longing for.
Item: Advanced Cultivation Technique·Volume 2
Points: 1500
Question: If there are ten birds on a tree and one is shot dead, how many are left on the tree?
At the sight of the necessary points for exchange, even Bai Que, who prided himself on having many points, couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.
But when he saw the question that followed, he let out a sigh of relief, at least he wouldn’t need the help of that little female.
