Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 203 - 204: Lin Ruoxi Goes Berserk

Chu Linfeng’s words immediately left the Purple Demon Thunder Fox stunned. The Star Crystal is something of legend, and to think that Chu Linfeng would have it on him is truly hard to believe.

Sima Jingyi was even more unaware of the value of the Star Crystal. She simply saw the strange expression on the Purple Demon Thunder Fox’s face and couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Xiao, is the Star Crystal very rare?"

In fact, Chu Linfeng himself had only a vague understanding of the Star Crystal given to him by the Ice Dragon and hadn’t taken a close look at it yet. Similarly, he hoped that the Purple Demon Thunder Fox could answer his questions.

"The Star Crystal is the crystal with the most Star Power found in a Star Stone, just as precious as the Ice Flame Crystal you obtained. I think that even in the entire Celestial Dragon Country, there might not be anyone who has this Star Crystal. Big brother, you’re not teasing me, are you?" the Purple Demon Thunder Fox chuckled.

"No, this Star Crystal was given to me by the Ice Dragon, but there are only two pieces. If it can prevent any mishaps with you, spending these two Star Crystals on you is worth it!" Chu Linfeng said.

"Thank you, big brother!" the Purple Demon Thunder Fox smiled, but tears of gratitude flowed from its eyes. Soon, a purple light flashed on its body, revealing a Hexagram pattern.

Soon after, a purple-colored Magic Beast Egg silently appeared on the snow. Chu Linfeng found a Storage Belt and placed it inside separately, then took out the strongest Star Crystal imbued with Star Power from his Storage Ring and placed it inside.

"Jingyi, it’s just us left now. Let’s hurry back!"

......

It was a bustling time at Celestial Dragon Academy, and the Martial Arts Training Ground was crowded with people. The tense competition between the students of Celestial Dragon Academy and Sea Dragon Academy was underway.

On the training ground, there were eleven stages, with the largest one in the center. The Sea Dragon Academy’s people stood on the left of the stage, while Celestial Dragon Academy’s people stood on the right.

In front of the stage were a number of bamboo chairs, occupied by the instructors from both Sea Dragon Academy and Celestial Dragon Academy.

This year’s academy competition was still an elimination tournament, divided into three class competitions: inferior class, ordinary class, and elite class. The two academies selected their best students to participate, with one hundred selected from each class.

The competition format was simple. First, the inferior class competition took place across ten stages, with the first-place finisher advancing to the semifinals. The last of these ten competitors would draw lots for a one-on-one match on the largest stage.

After five students were eliminated, another drawing took place, and if a contestant drew an exemption, they would advance directly. Finally, the remaining three students would compete in a mixed match, and the last one standing would be the winner.

The same rules applied to the ordinary class and elite class, and by this time, the semifinals were underway.

Celestial Dragon Academy’s inferior class had six people advance, while the ordinary class had only four, and the elite class also had only four. The results left the academy head disappointed.

"Chu Linfeng has been in the Magic Beast Forest for over half a year now. Could he really have perished inside? It seems we’ve lost this academy competition again." Gongsun Changyuan said helplessly from above.

"It’s hard to say. I don’t think that kid has such bad luck. I hope he shows up. Otherwise, all our efforts will have been in vain," Old Man Xu replied with frustration.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a black long robe floated before the two, smiling. "I see your academy is bound to lose again this time. Could it be that Celestial Dragon Academy truly has no outstanding talent? In that case, it might be better to disband and let these students come to my Sea Dragon Academy to study. Wouldn’t that be better?

Old Man Xu, I won’t shortchange you—how about becoming a vice principal? Hahahaha!"

"Yun Feiyang, would you die if you didn’t show off? The competition isn’t over yet; don’t jump to conclusions too soon. It’s still unknown who will win." Gongsun Changyuan retorted angrily.

"Hehe, I’m just waiting to see how you lose. I forgot to tell you, the top-ranked in my elite class recently broke through to the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm! Hahahaha!" Yun Feiyang finished and flew away triumphantly.

Watching Yun Feiyang leave, Gongsun Changyuan wore a look of despair. "Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm? It seems like we’re really going to lose this time."

"Changyuan, you mustn’t be too pessimistic. I won’t believe it until the very last moment. Miracles can happen for everything. I’m just waiting for that miracle," Old Man Xu said slowly.

"Miracle? Are you saying that the miracle is that kid Chu Linfeng? I think he might have already been eaten by Magical Beasts. If he were coming back, he would have done so by now." Gongsun Changyuan replied.

"Have you forgotten how Zhao Fei and the others described him when they returned? That kid has an Eighth Rank Flying Magical Beast as his sidekick. An Eighth Rank Magical Beast indeed, and there’s also a purple fox, another Eighth Rank Magical Beast, willing to follow him. Haven’t you thought about why?" Old Man Xu said.

Gongsun Changyuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Are you suggesting that this kid can defeat Eighth Rank Magical Beasts? How can that be possible? Eighth Rank Magical Beasts have the strength of the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm; I don’t believe it."

"I believe it. Don’t forget, Sima Jingyi is also in there. Chu Linfeng might not know when the competition is, but would she not? I believe he will certainly appear."

The two in the air were worriedly watching, while the competitions on the stage were also highly exciting.

The inferior class competition had already ended, and surprisingly, Celestial Dragon Academy managed to claim first place—a rare feat in recent years.

However, no one was truly excited because the inferior class’s competition was inconsequential. Even an ordinary class finalist could easily defeat them; securing this rank merely provided a superficial sense of pride.

What really mattered to everyone was the ordinary class and the elite class, especially the elite class competition, which truly represented an academy’s strength.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi from the ordinary class was competing against a student from Sea Dragon Academy. Her beautiful face showed clear signs of weight loss, perhaps due to Chu Linfeng’s absence.

The long sword in her hand launched fierce Sword Qi at her opponent, yet it was easily blocked by the Sea Dragon Academy student.

"Beautiful lady, I didn’t expect you to be both beautiful and powerful. I like you, how about we become friends?" the student said after blocking one of Lin Ruoxi’s sword strikes, smiling.

"Friend my ass! Do you even deserve it?!" Lin Ruoxi unexpectedly cursed, something she definitely wouldn’t have done before. She had already decided to wait three years for Chu Linfeng, and if he didn’t return by then, it would prove he was dead, prompting her to take her own life and join him in the Netherworld.

Her mood had been somber, and when this brat teased her, Lin Ruoxi became furious. The pain of more than half a year seemed to have found an outlet, and her aura was growing continuously.

She astonishingly exuded an aura of the Fifth Level of Earth Martial Realm, shouting, "Sea of Flowers!" Instantly, Petal Sword Qi filled the sky, rapidly striking towards the student, with only one thought in her mind: to kill the opponent...
