Chapter 116
The assessment is over, and Yun appears!
Chapter 116 The assessment is over, and Yun appears!
"Little White! Hurry!"
"Quickly, take back your familiar!"
The giant golden wolf howled in alarm as it scrambled and stumbled toward Lu Xiaobai.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, its enormous golden wolf body rapidly shrank and deformed in a dazzling light, eventually transforming into a boy who looked about the age of a human teenager, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a slightly chubby face.
He swiftly hid behind Lu Xiaobai, clutching Lu Xiaobai's white trench coat tightly, concealing his entire body. Then, he peeked out, his head lolling out in terror as he stared at the menacing-looking figure not far away.
Hu Tianbiao was closing in on them relentlessly.
Ruger's body was still trembling slightly, and his emerald green eyes were watery; he looked like he was about to cry from fright.
"----well!"
Seeing his embarrassing state, Aozaki Touko helplessly rubbed her forehead and let out a long sigh.
Luger was treated as the hope of the village since he was a child. He never experienced a real battle. His "wolf life" consisted of nothing but eating and sleeping, which was terrifyingly pure.
I brought him out here myself and let him see the vastness of the world, but his practical psychological qualities—it seems that we still need to increase the intensity of his "training".
"Fine, let's leave it at that."
Aozaki Touko shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the chaotic arena that looked as if it had been hit by a meteorite. "If we keep playing like this, we might have to dismantle their entire playing area."
Although it's almost completely demolished —
Having said that, he raised his hand and waved it lightly.
The magnificent and mysterious "Golden Field" dress behind Aoki Touko quickly became transparent and disappeared into the air, like golden sand paintings blown away by the wind.
The three enormous, convex and concave lenses, which were suspended in the air and covered with runes, also flickered briefly before disappearing without a trace.
As she ceased her battle stance, the massive rainbow-colored magic barrier that had enveloped the entire arena emitted a soft hum, dissipating rapidly like a receding tide, revealing the clear blue sky once more.
This unexpected "test" between master and apprentice has finally come to an end.
"Hehe, Lao Lu, Taber, let's go and meet this friend."
On the high platform, the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei stroked his beard with a smile and spoke to Lu Jin and Dean Taber beside him.
"Perhaps her wisdom and insight can offer some different inspiration to us old folks."
Before he finished speaking, the old master's figure vanished like a breeze, and in the next instant, he appeared silently beside Lu Xiaobai.
He first looked kindly at Lu Xiaobai and the other two, whose breathing had gradually stabilized, nodded slightly, and then slowly walked towards Aozaki Touko opposite him.
Lu Jin and Dean Taber followed closely behind and landed immediately.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to have troubled you."
Upon seeing the three elderly men approaching, Aozaki Touko immediately adopted an intellectual and slightly apologetic smile. She put her glasses back on, adjusted the bridge of her nose, and instantly transformed from the dangerous and crazy magician she had just been into a seemingly approachable scholar.
As she exchanged polite words, she carefully examined the three people in front of her with her eyes hidden behind her glasses, especially lingering on the old master for a moment, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashing deep in her eyes.
In this world where the concentration of magic is not particularly high, the existence of such an unfathomable old man, who seemed to be one with heaven and earth, truly shocked and intrigued her.
"Hehe, not at all. You're a guest from afar, especially since you're Xiaobai's master. I don't know how to address you."
""
The old master responded with a smile, his attitude gentle.
He was not angered by the other party's earlier destructive behavior, nor did he look down on him in the slightest because of his seemingly young appearance.
"Aozaki Touko is just a magician from afar. You're too kind."
Orange introduced herself with a smile, her tone composed.
"Hehe, by the way, this is Lu Jin, and this is Dean Isaac Taber—"
The old master cheerfully began to introduce several "old monsters" whose ages, experiences, and even worlds were completely different. They stood on the edge of the ruins and talked as if no one else was around, and the atmosphere actually seemed quite harmonious.
"noob!"
At this moment, Lu Linglong, Xu San, Xu Si, Zhang Chulan and others rushed down from the stands in a great hurry.
Lu Linglong was the first to run to Lu Xiaobai, her anxious gaze sweeping back and forth between him, the Minister of Intelligence, and the Minister of Magic, as if afraid that they were missing something.
"Hmph, how could anything happen to me?"
"She's just an old woman, nothing special."
The intelligence chief straightened up first, put his hands on his hips, and had an arrogant expression that said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about," trying to prove that he was perfectly fine.
Of course, if the large hole in his shirt, pierced by the Shadow Cat, could be disregarded, it might be more convincing.
Seeing that the three "little white" babies were indeed still alive and kicking, Lu Linglong finally breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her chest.
"Oh, right, Xiaobai,"
Suddenly remembering something, she quickly grabbed Lu Xiaobai's arm and asked, "Do you know where Yun went? Is he alright?"
At this moment, after hiding behind Lu Xiaobai and seemingly confirming that Hu Tianbiao had truly returned to the Minister of Magic's body and wouldn't come out again, the blond boy Ruger cautiously peeked out and said with a sigh of relief, "You mean that human? He's right here with me."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the mechanical ring on his finger, similar in style to Lu Xiaobai's, flashed slightly.
With a "thud," a man who was unconscious and looked like "Yun" appeared out of thin air and lay on the open ground next to him.
He showed no obvious external injuries, and his breathing was steady, as if he were in a deep sleep.
Ruger crouched down and gently flicked Yun's forehead with his finger.
"Ugh—!" Yun gasped sharply, her eyelids trembling violently. She then opened her eyes abruptly, sitting up as if she had just had a nightmare, looking around in terror.
"Holy crap! What's going on?!"
He instinctively adopted a defensive posture, his eyes filled with confusion and vigilance.
"Why is it still light out?! Where am I?!"
Judging from his reaction, his memory seemed to be stuck at the moment he was attacked and knocked unconscious by the doll the night before last, and he knew nothing about what happened afterward.
