Astral Flower-Chapter 59: Sparring

Nan Hua looked at Long Shi Yu.

The minimum grade to graduate from the high school was at the very least B rank for the High School students’ rank, which was actually the D rank for the adult’s ranking. The higher one’s physical strength, the harder would it be for one to grow stronger.

Besides the minimum grade to graduate, there were some special cases where the students would be allowed to enter the university without reaching B rank.

Participating in competitions was one of them.

Long Shi Yu loved to participate in competitions, so his name was quite famous. It could be said that aside from Long Qian Xing, the other younger generation from Long Family who were well known would be Long Shi Yu.

"Nan Hua, E rank in high school grade or F rank in the adult’s grade," Nan Hua replied softly.

"Shall we start?" Long Shi Yu asked with a smile.

Nan Hua nodded.

Long Shi Yu said," Realistic simulation, forest, two individuals, start!"

The scenery around them changed immediately and Nan Hua turned around and ran through the forest lines. In terms of physical strength that she could show on the outside, she was at utter disadvantage.

And with the extremely tight time before the start of the competition, Nan Hua highly doubted that she would be able to show that she ’advanced’ without having any special situation.

Special situation would make others pay attention to her, so she wouldn’t use it.

Swish!

"Grenades," Nan Hua muttered.

She knew very well that with her purposely leaking her whereabouts, Long Shi Yu would be able to find her sooner or later. In that case, she would just use the most direct method she could think of.

Long Shi Yu didn’t have any intention to play a long game with Nan Hua either. When they were in the competition, they had to finish their opponent quickly, so they had been trying to locate each other as fast as possible and also eliminate the other without alarming other people.

Long Shi Yu caught up with Nan Hua and was about to grab her when he saw her throwing something. His pupil dilated and there was an explosion.

<Ding! Long Shi Yu is eliminated by Nan Hua. He’s out of the Realistic Simulation>

<Ding! Nan Hua is eliminated by Nan Hua. She’s out of the Realistic Simulation>

<Ding! Realistic Simulation is over. The winner is Nan Hua.>

In the case where both parties were dead, the winner was determined by who attacked and also the one who breathed last. Nan Hua’s instinctive skills and the distance between her and the grenade allowed her to be the one with the last laugh.

Long Shi Yu stood stupidly.

The pain of having his entire body torn apart was not small. He still felt that his head was muddled as he looked at Nan Hua, who stood not far from him, looking very well behaved.

At this moment, he truly couldn’t connect her to the girl who ruthlessly threw the grenade and killed both of them in that simulation just now.

"You... Why did you use grenades?" Bombs and small grenades could be used, but these kinds of resources had to be ’looted’ from the resource points. They couldn’t bring any of these inside the competition from the very beginning.

"Because I can’t outrun you," Nan Hua replied softly.

Well, she could.

But she wouldn’t show it.

Long Shi Yu opened his mouth and closed it again like a fish.

Bang!

"Huh? What are you two doing standing there stupidly?" Tian Lou entered the room and looked at the two of them in confusion.

"We just have a realistic simulation," Long Shi Yu answered and looked at Long Qian Xing who was walking behind Tian Lou. "You’re done with the fight?"

"Yeah, my body is inside the recovery pod something. I’m bored so I ask them to connect me to the Virtual World." Long Qian Xing shrugged. Being beaten has become his daily activity for so many years, so he was not surprised.

Tian Lou looked at the log of the realistic simulation and was stupefied. "Damn, you lose against Nan Hua, Shi Yu?"

"I was careless." Long Shi Yu smiled bitterly.

He was thinking of following Long Qian Xing’s method of only patting Nan Hua’s shoulder after making the move that she was eliminated. However, he overestimated his own physical strength and ability.

Nan Hua was able to retaliate before he was able to eliminate her.

"What did she do?" Long Qian Xing asked, looking at the record and then frowned. "You blow yourself?"

"No, I just got impacted because I can’t run fast enough," Nan Hua replied.

Long Qian Xing frowned.

Even though their death in the Virtual World would not mean death in the real world, the pain they experienced was real. During the few Realistic Simulation before, he purposely didn’t kill Nan Hua and instead eliminated her peacefully to avoid letting her experience the brutal death.

But when it came to her own battles against Long Shi Yu, she ended up blowing herself up?

"Are you alright?"

"Huh?" Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and her brain turned at fast speed. For ordinary people, deaths in the Virtual World were truly painful to the point that many of them had shadows on them.

This was why the games’ section was specifically created. It lowered their tension for the death’s situation, allowing them to cope up better.

"I’m fine, Young Master Long," Nan Hua replied hurriedly.

"Really?" Long Qian Xing asked, his eyes narrowed.

Long Shi Yu watched the two of them and fell into a trance. Now think about it, Nan Hua was not a person who had been trained like them to face the Virtual World’s death.

Would it be fine for her to act so cruel to herself just now?

He turned to look at Nan Hua.

"Yes." Nan Hua nodded again as if trying to make Long Qian Xing believe that she was fine. Her expression looked innocent and cute.
