Chapter 99: Late Fike and Sertia

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After returning to his dorm, Fike kept replaying the duel between Rowan and Ah Fei in his mind.

Rowan’s strength was impressive, that was without a doubt.

?

However, his method of mentally breaking his opponents was something Fike simply couldn’t agree with at all.

What perplexed Fike the most was how he, as a miracle native, had been able to cultivate to a level higher than Fike’s own.

Even the hidden information hadn’t been able to provide an answer in this regard.

“Hidden information, does Rowan have any weaknesses?”

[Hidden Information: unable to detect Rowan’s weakness. ]

Fike shook his head helplessly at this response.

He opened his personal attributes panel, deciding to check on his own current status.

[Player: Fike]

[Level: 168]

[Equipment: Demonic Sword – Hermes’ Curse, Infinite Ring, Demon Flame Coat…]

[Skills: Primordial Power – First Stage, Level Two: Demigod’s Body, 32 Swords Slash, Mind Transfer Technique, Healing, Alchemy, Holy Sublimation]

[Class: Priest ]

[Experience: 78999960/10990000]

[Combat Power: 10,001]

‘My combat power has only just broken through 10,000?’

Fike thought to himself helplessly.

‘I remember that Rowan’s was already above 200,000!”

Fike lay on the bed. Too many events had happened consecutively over the past few days, and he was exhausted by now.

A wave of sleepiness rushed over him, and he quickly fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to him, just as he fell into unconsciousness, the Infinite Ring on his finger glowed with a weak light.

In his dreams, Fike had once again arrived at the Heavenly Palace.

Zhao Ruoxian greeted him, and seemed to have been waiting for him here for a while.

“Earth child, it’s only been a few days, why have you become so haggard?

“I know you’re very popular with women, but you still have to control yourself to some extent, understand?”

Zhao Ruoxian said faintly and somewhat embarrassedly.

Fike looked at with a puzzled expression as he asked.

“Why have I suddenly come here?”

Zhao Ruoxian glanced back at him.

“Have you forgotten what I told you to do?”

“No! I’ve remembered! Didn’t you ask me to come to Yogmo Academy to level up?”

“Ah, so you still know that you’re supposed to be leveling up now! I see that you’ve almost forgotten about it.”

Hearing her words, Fike indeed became a little ashamed.

Ever since he had arrived at Yogmo Academy, Fike had rarely practiced cultivation.

He had been busy doing other things every day.

“I’ve summoned you here because I have something important to tell you.

“I’ve been detecting signals of Miracle’s collapse over the past few days. You need to raise your level as soon as possible so that you can be qualified to enter that place.”

Zhao Ruoxian was still the same as before. She liked speaking vaguely, only giving half the information she had.

However, Fike no longer found it irritating. Instead, he only replied indifferently.

“Exotic Beast Tower, right?”

Zhao Ruoxian was very surprised upon hearing Fike’s words.

“How do you know? Could it be that you’ve developed a telepathic connection after spending so much time with me?”

Zhao Ruoxian looked somewhat confused.

“A friend told me.”

“In that case, you must already know where that place is.”

Zhao Ruoxian purposely egged on.

Fike finally conceded.

“Fine, I don’t know yet! Do you know where it is?”

Zhao Ruoxian chuckled for a bit before she continued.

“Go straight east, past the imperial capital of Rowei, and then through a desert. You’ll come across that Exotic Beast Tower.”

“So far?”

Fike complained.

“Actually, it’s not that far. As long as you set off within three months from now, you’ll be able to arrive before this year ends.”

Fike was once again shocked at her words.

“Oh right, when you arrive at the imperial capital of the Rowei, I will guide you to a place where my seal can be broken.”

“There’s such a magical place?”

Fike asked.

“After thousands of years, the world has changed. I wonder if it’s still there…”

As she spoke, a single tear appeared at the corner of Zhao Ruoxian’s eyes.

“It’s getting late, Earth child. You’ll soon be late for your trial. Quick, leave this place!”

At the wave of Zhao Ruoxian’s hand. Fike finally opened his eyes and woke up, returning to the real world.

His droopy eyes were met with Sertia sitting atop of him, her lips aimed at his.

Seeing that Fike had woken up, Sertia lunged and grabbed Fike in her arms.

“Fike, you’re finally awake! If you didn’t wake up, I really don’t know what I’d do!”

Hearing her sobbing tone, Fike realized that he had been chatting with Zhao Ruoxian throughout the entire night.

Fike struggled out of Sertia’s arms.

“S- Sertia, let go of me, quick, I can’t breathe!”

Hearing him out of breath, Sertia hurriedly released him from her tight embrace.

Suddenly, her expression changed as she said anxiously.

“Quick! Fike, it’ll be too late! We have to go quickly!”

Fike was obviously still in a daze.

“Where are you going?”

“To participate in the freshmen trial! The competition will start in about ten minutes!”

Hearing this, he immediately shot up and dressed himself as quickly as he could before the pair rushed to the trial arena, hand in hand.

As they had just arrived at the entrance, the host just happened to be calling out Fike’s name.

“Now, let us welcome the glory of the Spell School, Fike!”

The host looked around, but he could not find the boy anywhere.

He tried reading his line again.

“Let us welcome contestant Fike!”

Still, Fike did not appear.

Just as the host, teachers, and students were all starting to collectively become puzzled, a familiar voice rang out from the east gate of the arena.

“Here! Fike is here!”

Fike and Sertia rushed in together in disheveled clothes.

When the crowd witnessed the pair like this, they began to discuss among themselves.

“Why are Fike and Sertia dressed like this? And they’re so late? Could it be that they were doing something exciting last night?”

“Yeah, that’s suspicious to me as well. But didn’t Fike say something about Senior Molly yesterday? Could it be that Sertia is a new challenger?”

“In my opinion, Senior Molly is the new challenger. I heard that Fike and Sertia have known each other since before they entered the school!”

“No, my Lord Fike! I won’t allow you to be snatched away by other women!”

Catching the lively murmurs of the entire crowd, Fike and Sertia both lowered their heads in embarrassment.
