Chapter 14: Leng Ruzhi’s Panic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the dire beasts blocking Lin Yu and Bai Hong’s teams, Chen Feng quickly left the scene and returned to Leng Ruzhi’s side.

At this moment, there were already three Capricorns lying in the middle of the empty space.

The remaining two were already covered in wounds.

Leng Ruzhi did not seem like she could handle this situation with ease anymore.

Her speed was clearly much slower than before.

It seemed that the effect of the potions was gradually weakening.

However, this time, Chen Feng had no intention of interfering.

He knew very well that with Leng Ruzhi’s strength, she could defeat those dire beasts even without using potions.

It was just a matter of time.

As expected, after Leng Ruzhi dodged the attacks of the two Capricorns, she immediately used Spears of Light.

The Capricorn, which was attacking with all its might, could not dodge in time and was nailed to the ground.

Leng Ruzhi, who had exhausted most of her stamina, finally fell onto the ground. Once again, she took out a bottle of perfect-grade Stamina Potion and recovered.

“Tsk tsk tsk, you’re really rich,” said Chen Feng.

“Since you’re done fighting, why can’t you just take a break to recover your strength instead of drinking that potion?”

Hearing Chen Feng’s words, Leng Ruzhi stared at him with a serious expression.

“I can’t guarantee that other students won’t come over to compete at this time.”

“It might be too late to drink the potion then,” she replied.

“Do you really think anyone would dare to compete with you?” asked Chen Feng.

Leng Ruzhi paused for a moment before shaking her head.

“Better safe than sorry.”

“I have a reason not to lose.”

Since Leng Ruzhi had said so, Chen Feng did not probe further.

In any case, Chen Feng would never choose to stand out like this.

The two of them had completely different ideals and styles of doing things.

However, Chen Feng agreed with Leng Ruzhi’s words.

This was the only thing that the two of them had in common.

“Since the battle is over, help me find the golden box that the principal mentioned.”

“I didn’t see the golden box during the battle just now. It might be on the surrounding trees,” said Leng Ruzhi.

The tree root in the empty space looked so conspicuous, and it was obvious that it was where the golden box was placed.

However, Leng Ruzhi did not consider the possibility that the golden box had already been taken away.

After all, in her opinion, the five Capricorns were still alive and well.

She had used so many potions just now, and it was so strenuous for her to take them on.

She did not think that there was anyone among her classmates who could take the golden box away from the five Capricorns without any bloodshed and retreat unscathed.

If there was really such a person, his strength would probably be more than ten times that of Leng Ruzhi.

When Chen Feng heard Leng Ruzhi’s words, he thought to himself, “Even if I turn this place upside down, we won’t be able to find it.”

However, he still quietly searched around.

Leng Ruzhi did the same.

Leng Ruzhi, who had defeated five Capricorns and assumed that she had won first place, was in a good mood.

However, as she searched the trees, her expression slowly changed.

Nothing… Nothing at all.

There were no gold boxes anywhere!

After searching for more than 10 rounds, Leng Ruzhi had a dark expression.

Only then did she think of the most unlikely possibility.

“The golden box… might have been taken away by someone else!” she remarked.

Seeing Leng Ruzhi’s unsightly expression, Chen Feng coughed lightly and stepped forward to comfort her.

“It’s fine. Although we didn’t get the golden box, we got two metal boxes. That’s not bad at all.”

As he spoke, Chen Feng took out two inner cores of the Tier 2 dire beast from his pocket.

Actually, Chen Feng currently had six inner cores.

However, if he took it out, it would expose the fact that he had just obtained a metal box.

This would undoubtedly increase the possibility of Chen Feng’s ability being exposed.

Leng Ruzhi had indeed been doing her best to ensure Chen Feng’s safety.

Naturally, Chen Feng would not be so selfish as to not offer her some inner cores.

Moreover, even if he split two inner cores with her, his gains today were still very abundant. He had gotten two Tier 3 inner cores and four Tier 2 inner cores.

If he decided to sell them, he could make a small fortune from that sale.

Leng Ruzhi glanced at the inner core in Chen Feng’s hand. Her expression changed slightly, but she quickly closed her eyes.

“No! I’ve already said that I won’t split these spoils of war. How can I take back my words now?”

Chen Feng was shocked.

This woman was so inflexible at doing things!

In her opinion, was it more embarrassing to accept the help of her teammates than to lose?

He reminded her again.

“Don’t forget that a long time has passed.”

“Even if you settle for second best and decide to search for the metal box now, you might not be able to find it. It might have already been taken away by others.”

“You don’t want to fail to reach second place, right?”

Leng Ruzhi’s fair face turned ashen white.

She had to admit that Chen Feng was right.

She had spent too much time fighting the five Capricorns.

It was very likely that all the metal boxes in the forest had been taken away.

However, she shook her head again.

“If that’s indeed the case, that’s my problem.”

“I have never considered the possibility that someone would reach the center before me and take the gold box.”

“I made a mistake in judgment. It’s all because of my arrogance.”

With that, she turned around and walked into the forest with the last hope of finding the metal box.

There was nothing Chen Feng could do about it.

He would not tell the truth, so he could only follow silently behind her.

Unfortunately, the two of them had almost explored the entire inner ring of the forest.

Other than the corpses of various dire beasts, there was not one metal box to be seen.

Leng Ruzhi’s face turned even paler.

She could not accept the fact that she did not even get the second prize.

Chen Feng coughed twice.

He said, “Ahem! I would advise you not to get too downhearted just yet.”

“Let’s hurry to the periphery of the forest. If we don’t get there quickly, I’m afraid even the wooden box will be gone.”

Leng Ruzhi looked disheartened, but she shook her head helplessly.

“That won’t happen. I’ve never heard of anyone failing a test.”

“From that alone, it is evident that the school has prepared enough wooden boxes for everyone.”

However, just as Leng Ruzhi finished speaking, Chen Feng took out four Tier 2 dire beast inner cores and showed them to her.

He said, “How can you guarantee that the other students won’t be like me? You really think that all of them will only take one prize?”

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruzhi froze.

Immediately after, her eyes widened in alarm. She felt an overwhelming panic come over her like never before.

Three hours later.

Leng Ruzhi, who looked dejected, and Chen Feng, who looked helpless, finally walked out of the forest.

Everyone immediately understood what was going on when they saw Leng Ruzhi’s appearance.

Leng Ruzhi, god’s favored one, seemed to have failed!
