Chapter 38 Participating in the Trial, the Seed of the Netherworld Ghost Fire!
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground.
Ye Chuxue got up early, and after washing up, she couldn't wait to take the skill book on healing cold currents to Su Jingya's office.
She was filled with anticipation, hoping to get more guidance and advice on this skill from Su Jingya.
When Ye Chuxue arrived at the office door, she gently knocked. A gentle and familiar voice came from inside: "Come in." Ye Chuxue took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.
Upon entering the office, Ye Chuxue's gaze first fell upon Su Jingya. She was still wearing the same light blue, traditional-style long dress as yesterday, sitting elegantly at her desk.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, adding to her gentle beauty. Seeing Ye Chuxue enter, Su Jingya smiled warmly: "Xiaoxue, you're here?"
"Teacher," Ye Chuxue said softly, a hint of nervousness rising in her heart. Without Song Wanning beside her, she felt the atmosphere was somewhat uneasy.
"Am I that scary?" Su Jingya couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Ye Chuxue's slightly reserved demeanor.
"What brings you here, teacher?" Su Jingya asked gently, her eyes revealing her concern for Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and said, "Teacher, yesterday I went to the library to learn a new skill, but I encountered some bottlenecks in the learning process, so I would like to ask you for some advice."
After saying that, she handed the Cold Wave Healing Skill Book to Su Jingya.
Su Jingya took the skill book, glanced at it, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked up at Ye Chuxue and said with a smile, "It's actually an S-rank skill book. This skill book is not easy to learn."
Skill books are extremely expensive; even a simple B-grade skill book can be worth hundreds of thousands of dragon gold coins, which is astonishing.
As for A-grade skill books, they are priced at an astronomical level, reaching millions or even tens of millions of Dragon Gold Coins.
However, the fact that Shenlong University is able to generously provide so many skill books for students to choose from and use freely undoubtedly demonstrates the university's profound foundation and strong strength.
Looking at the dazzling array of skill books in front of her, Su Jingya couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaoxue, learning an S-level skill book isn't so easy."
After all, mastering S-level is extremely difficult. Are you really sure you still want to keep studying?" She looked at Ye Chuxue with concern, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Ye Chuxue nodded firmly, her eyes shining with determination: "Teacher, I have made up my mind. This skill book is of great significance to me; it will become a powerful tool on my path forward."
So no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to learn. Her tone was full of determination and conviction.
Su Jingya nodded slightly, indicating her understanding and support: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, then work hard. I hope this skill can truly help and assist you."
Throughout the morning, Su Jingya patiently explained the key points and essence of the skill book to Ye Chuxue.
She explained every detail in detail to ensure that Ye Chuxue could fully understand and grasp the key points.
Ye Chuxue listened attentively, occasionally asking questions and expressing doubts, actively interacting with Su Jingya.
"You have a high aptitude for learning. If you continue at this pace, I believe you will be able to master this skill very quickly," Su Jingya encouraged with a smile.
Ye Chuxue said with gratitude, "Thank you, teacher! Your teachings have benefited me greatly."
Just as Ye Chuxue was about to leave, Su Jingya called out to her, "Xiaoxue, would you and Xiaoning like to participate in a dungeon trial?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue immediately became interested: "Dungeon Trial? What's that?"
Su Jingya smiled slightly and patiently explained, "This trial is only open once a year, and only those below the Divine Venerable Realm are qualified to participate."
Ye Chuxue nodded thoughtfully: "So what benefits can one gain from this trial?"
Su Jingya smiled and continued, "You can obtain a precious material from the dungeon—the seed of Netherworld Ghost Fire. You can use it to cultivate more than a dozen Netherworld Ghost Fires at once! And equipment crafted with Netherworld Ghost Fire can reduce physical damage by 50%."
Ye Chuxue's eyes lit up: "So powerful! Doesn't that mean many people would want to compete for the seed of this Netherworld Ghost Fire?"
Su Jingya nodded: "Yes, because the number of Netherworld Ghost Fire seeds is very limited, only 20 per year, so every year each country sends its most elite forces to compete for them."
This year, our Great Xia will be organizing over a dozen teams to go, including those from Shenlong University and the Four Divine Beasts University. Are you interested in participating?
"Teacher, why didn't you let those at the Divine Venerable Realm participate, but instead let those at the Divine Monarch Realm participate?" Ye Chuxue asked in confusion.
"Because although you are only at the Divine Lord realm now, your strength may have already far surpassed that of the Divine Venerable realm," Su Jingya explained.
"Are you interested in participating?" Su Jingya then asked.
"Well... I need to go back and talk to Miss about this," Ye Chuxue said hesitantly.
"Okay, then go back and tell Xiao Ning that if you want to go, the teacher will reserve two spots for you," Su Jingya said with a smile.
After Ye Chuxue returned, she told Song Wanning about the dungeon trial.
After thinking for a moment, Song Wanning decided to participate in the trial with Ye Chuxue.
They believed this was not only a rare opportunity to improve their skills, but also an excellent chance to accumulate valuable experience for future adventures.
So, Song Wanning approached Su Jingya and expressed their willingness to participate in the trial.
Su Jingya smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, believing that Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue would definitely demonstrate extraordinary strength and potential in the trial.
Soon the day of the dungeon trial arrived, and Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue arrived at the meeting point early that day.
Several figures were already standing at the assembly point; they were the participants in this trial.
Upon seeing the two, one of them, a slightly more mature-looking older sister, stepped forward with a gentle smile on her face and said softly, "You must be the participants recommended by Teacher Su, right? I am the team leader for this trial, Chu Shihhan. You can call me Senior Sister Chu."
Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Hello, Senior Sister Chu."
Chu Shihhan smiled and nodded, then continued, "We need to understand your combat strength and cultivation level so that I can assign you tasks accordingly."
"My name is Ye Chuxue. I am at the first level of the Divine Lord Realm and possess a support-type Martial Soul."
"Song Wanning, third level of Divine Lord Realm, offensive martial soul."
Upon hearing Song Wanning's name, Chu Shihhan glanced at her curiously, secretly surprised: She hadn't expected that Song Wanning had already reached the third level of the Divine Lord Realm. It seems that her strength is not to be underestimated!
“In that case, Junior Sister Ye will stay in the middle of the team and be responsible for boosting our power, while Junior Sister Song will follow behind us in the front row,” Chu Shihhan said.
However, at that moment, a discordant voice rang out: "What's wrong with the school? They actually invited two people at the Divine Lord Realm to participate, and they're girls."
