ALL NOVEL Chapter 22
"Ahem... Sorry, I didn't know you were a girl." Zhou Cang coughed several times and said awkwardly.
"It's okay, I know you. You are the only one who doesn't have to go to class in the whole freshman year, and it was specially approved by the principal." The woman gently took off her mask and baseball cap, revealing her true face.
Zhou Cang's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that this woman was so stunning. No wonder she had to hide her true face. If she didn't cover it, it is estimated that the people chasing her would line up from the east gate to the west gate of the college.
"Hello, sophomore, Ma Yiyi." Ma Yiyi stretched out her hand and introduced with a smile.
"Freshman, Zhou Cang." Zhou Cang stretched out his hand and said softly.
"Do you have time today?" Ma Yiyi asked casually.
Zhou Cang's face flushed slightly and nodded gently. He has been in Tianyu Branch College for so long, and this is the first time a girl has taken the initiative to ask him out! Do you want to have dinner together?
Just when Zhou Cang was distracted, Ma Yiyi's words completely poured a basin of cold water on Zhou Cang's head.
"I found a relic that has never been discovered before. Do you want to explore it with me?" Ma Yiyi asked again.
Zhou Cang was speechless. Instead of going to eat or go shopping to get familiar with each other, he started by talking about exploring the relic?
As Zhou Cang's mental strength improved, he had an impression of everyone who entered and exited the library in the past few days. Ma Yiyi, who had been staying in the library, was naturally even more impressed.
According to Zhou Cang's observation, Ma Yiyi had not eaten for four days. Now he actually asked him to accompany her to explore the relic?
And it was a relic that had never been developed by anyone. The value contained in it was immeasurable!
Such a good thing, is it my turn?
"Ahem... Senior sister, I'm just a freshman, and I haven't taken many practical classes. I'm afraid that bringing me with me will drag down Sister Xue. I'd better not go." Zhou Cang declined.
Although they were both students of Tianyu Branch College, they just met each other and were not very familiar with each other. Although exploring the ruins might bring great rewards, the dangers involved were also huge.
There is a saying that goes, the rewards are proportional to the risks.
Unfamiliar teammates, unknown ruins, and unpredictable risks. Zhou Cang did not like to do things he was not sure of, so he chose to decline.
"You have a gold-grade water turtle, which is both offensive and defensive, and has been promoted to an apprentice-level beastmaster. Your strength is not weaker than that of an ordinary sophomore student."
"In addition, my spirit beast tends to be auxiliary, and its combat ability is not strong. It can complement your water turtle. This exploration of the ruins may not be unsuccessful. Even if there is an accident, I will find a way to get you out of it." Ma Yiyi saw that Zhou Cang was still hesitating, and continued to add.
After listening, Zhou Cang pondered for a moment and nodded gently, but he still couldn't figure out why it was him?
There are countless demon-level students in Tianyu Branch College, and talents of all types emerge in an endless stream. However, my current strength is not very outstanding. Why choose me?
Ma Yiyi seemed to see Zhou Cang's thoughts and continued to explain patiently: "The difficulty in the ruins changes in real time according to the strength of the challenger."
"Although your strength is not among the top students, you are definitely among the top freshmen." Ma Yiyi added.
Zhou Cang's mental strength is extremely high, so he can naturally tell that Ma Yiyi is not lying, but really wants to team up with him.
The reason why he kept asking was because Zhou Cang always felt that the logic was not making sense. After this questioning, Zhou Cang also had a bottom line in his heart.
"I... can join." Zhou Cang thought for a moment and nodded.
"But... I can't fight a battle without confidence. I need to know the relevant information of the ruins in advance so that I can prepare in advance." Zhou Cang added.
Ma Yiyi naturally agreed, but just as she was about to speak, her stomach growled twice.
"Junior, I'm hungry..." Ma Yiyi touched her flat stomach and said softly.
It's okay to have a growling stomach. The point is that she didn't feel embarrassed at all, and she looked calm and composed!
...
In the college cafeteria
Next to Zhou Cang, there were four large drawers of steamed buns, and in front of him were three or four dishes of food.
Next to Ma Yiyi was a basket of steamed buns, and in front of her was a small dish of vinegar.
While eating, the two of them whispered about what she knew about the ruins.
As a librarian, Ma Yiyi consulted a large number of ancient books, documents and related materials. In these boring books, Ma Yiyi discovered a shocking secret!
From dozens of ancient books, Ma Yiyi pieced together the specific location of the ruinsWith the help of clues, Ma Yiyi successfully found and entered the ruins.
At that time, Ma Yiyi was carrying a 24-level diamond grade [Linglong Pagoda]. As soon as she entered the ruins, she was besieged by a large number of 24-level diamond grade beasts.
In desperation, Ma Yiyi could only find a way to escape.
After escaping the ruins, Ma Yiyi was a little unwilling. Recalling the introduction of the ruins in the literature, Ma Yiyi changed the spirit beast to the 18-level gold grade [Qingming Ancient Bell].
As expected by Ma Yiyi, all the beasts that besieged Ma Yiyi this time turned into 18-level gold grade beasts.
Seeing that the guess was confirmed, Ma Yiyi also put down the idea of continuing to explore the ruins and calmed down to read.
Her A talent [Erudimentary] and the spirit beasts [Linglong Pagoda] and [Qingming Ancient Bell] that she signed the contract with are all auxiliary systems. Their attack power is not strong, and it is even more difficult to explore the ruins.
It was not until she met Zhou Cang that Ma Yiyi had the idea of exploring the ruins again.
Zhou Cang has become a legendary figure in the freshman class at the academy.
His spirit beast used only one ordinary attack to knock the class monitor of the third-level trainee away. He had a C-level talent, but signed a contract with a spirit beast of the gold grade.
And there are rumors that Zhou Cang passed the level directly in the ruins! The source of the news was also very strange. The leading figures of the third year, Zheng Xiaoli and Du Yuming, kept talking in their sleep on the same night after challenging the ruins.
Although the dream talk was not clear, there were still a few key words that could be heard clearly, which were inseparable from the words "Zhou Cang", "demon", and "pass".
The next day, Luo Li, the instructor of the "Xuan" class, announced to the whole class that Zhou Cang would no longer have to attend school courses from now on with the special approval of the dean.
People with ulterior motives connected these recent events together and soon came to an astonishing conclusion.
Zhou Cang is a rare genius beastmaster! His spirit beast has a mutant bloodline, which is strong enough to rival the ancient beasts, and he has passed through an ancient ruins!
