They didn’t get much sleep later on. The next day, when the day dawned, they got up, because they had to go to school for an assembly. “Good morning, Tolly,” said Sally happily, “Let’s go to school now, or we will be late.” “Good morning, Sally,” said Tolly while yawning, “you have to wait for me because I have to wash my face again. You know, from my experience, washing my face twice may help me get better luck.” “Really? I’ve never known you are so superstitious,” Sally laughed behind her hand. “I’m not superstitious, you can say I’m pious,” Tolly said smilingly, “I’m pious to luck, you know.’ “So, do you mean I’m not as pious to luck as you are?” “Yeah, that’s why I always have better luck than you. Go to wash your face together with me once more.” Tolly dragged her to a big basin of water on a small stool in the kitchen. And then he splashed some cool water on his face. “Awesome! my aura around my head has been cleansed. I feel refreshed and reinvigorated. What a good day!
A few minutes later, more students were tested for their cultivation talents, but they were all below A-level talent. “Jeremy Short, a medium-grade B-level talent for cultivation,” announced Ms. Harmsworth in her business-like voice, “Next please.” The next one that was going to take the test was Luna. She looked a little bit nervous as she kept twiddling her thumbs. “Hey, what are you doing, Luna?” asked Ms. Harmsworth. “Sorry, Ms. Harmsworth,” said Luna apologetically, “I suppose I’ve got butterflies in my stomach.” “Don’t worry,” Ms. Harmsworth comforted, “You’ve always been a good student. I’m sure you’ll have good talent.” Luna nodded and gradually put one of her hands on the crystal ball. Soon the crystal ball was starting to glow with a bright red light that bedazzled almost everyone’s eyes. Ms. Harmsworth smiled and happily announced, “Luna Truss, a high-grade A-level talent for cultivation. Congratulations!” Fanta Lord looked at her and nodded, seemingly quite please
“Expel himself out of the school now!” the stocky boy yelled, “See, there’s no light coming from the crystal ball. He’s a useless piece of junk!” “Do as you’ve promised, Fanta Lord,” the boy with two small eyes said in a loud voice. Fanta Lord didn’t reply quickly as he was in a dilemma, having no idea what to do next. “Come on! glow with some light, dear crystal ball!” Sally whispered, worried and knitting her brows. “It’s impossible. Tolly has already upgraded to be an ordinary alchemist of level five or six. There must be something wrong with the crystal ball. Show your light, nice crystal ball. Don’t play a joke on Tolly at the time, please!” said Luna in a low voice, her fingers crossed before her chest. After his initial hesitation, Fanta Lord thought he had to say something. It seemed that he had to give him up. However, before he opened his mouth, all of a sudden, there was dazzling light coming from the crystal ball. Not just one beam of the dazzling light, but a few. T
“He’s cruising for a bruising!” said Kevin furiously, gritting his teeth. “Be quiet, everybody,’ said Mr. Brown, “Now the talent test is over. All of you can take a short break for fifteen minutes. And then we’ll go to the first hunting ground for your hunting test. Good luck to all of you!” Suddenly, a girl with freckles on her face asked in surprise, “According to the schedule, aren’t we going to the first hunting ground for our hunting test this afternoon?” From the looks in the eyes of other students, they all seemed to have the same question. “Well, good question,” Mr. Brown explained, “We’ve changed the schedule for safety reasons. One of our students reported to me that he felt something bad might happen. So, to play it safe, we’d better set off fifteen minutes later.” With that, Mr. Brown subconsciously cast a casual look at Tolly, who nodded to him with a smile. “Something bad?” asked the freckled girl. “Yeah, but don’t worry, everything is under our control,” said Mr.
At the moment, there were quite a few Fushies coming toward those baits on the ground. Tolly quickly sent more of his vital energy to the end of his trap. In a flash, the trap was becoming one with Tolly again.Through the end of the trap—his third eye, Tolly clearly ‘saw’ those Fushies walking slowly like matronly middle-aged women on the ground.“All right, let me tell you, Carl Short, the thing you’re going to catch will be a large powerful Fushi. It has a lot of strength, so when you retrieve your trap, you need to pull hard with all your might, or you’ll probably be dragged off the Saircraft to the ground. Please keep what I’ve said in your mind!”“Save your crap, Tolly. Do you think I were you? Last time it was you that had been dragged off the Saircraft to the ground. Shame on you!” Carl Short said with a sneer,“And I don’t think it will be a Fushi. I think it must be a Wild Goose. After all, Jason caught one Wild Goose a while ago. In our biology class, I’ve been taught that
Five minutes passed before they got the guts to come closer to the Axe Arm Mantis, which lay in the Tolly’s Super Wrap Trap motionless.After confirming it was dead, Jason, Carl, and Justin all heaved a relieving sigh.“It’s time to pay me, Justin,” Tolly smirked at him.Justin didn’t talk back this time. He kept silent because there was no reason for him to troll Tolly again. He was even starting to admire him at the bottom of his heart. After all, Tolly, who had been the worst student in the Wesilver school, now killed one of the most dangerous beasts in the first hunting ground right before them.Therefore, he quickly took out twenty low-grade feather coins from his pocket and handed them to Tolly without any hesitation.“Here you are, Tolly,” said Justin while forcing a smile on his face, “You’ve never expected you’re so powerful now. Could you please share with us your experience about how to cultivate better?”Justin also gave him a thumbs-up at the same time.“You’re my Shifu,
Sally, Luna, and Peggy all whooped, and laughed, happy about Tolly’s hunting test. However, wrath surged up through Kevin’s veins. He just couldn’t bear it, his eyes fixing on Tolly, which would turn into fire and burn Tolly into ashes at any minute. Fanta Lord and his assistant River grinned from ear to ear, quite pleased with Tolly’s performance in the hunting test. And then Fanta Lord whispered something to his assistant River in his ear, who let himself rise from the Saircraft up to the sky and then float in the air. “Hello, everyone, attention, please! On behalf of our distinguished Fanta Lord, I happily pronounce Sally Addison, Luna Truss, Pegg smith, and Tolly McCoy are all accepted by Fanta Castle. That means they’ll further their study at the best academy for cultivators here on Goldearth. Please give them a round of applause and celebrate their success!” Then most of the students started to clap their hands as River had suggested. Suddenly, one of Kevin’s friends named
Carl drove his vital energy into his hand and soon some ice needles appeared. With a push, he sent out all his needles toward Jacob. To Tolly’s surprise, Carl was also an ordinary ice-element alchemist. When both of their needles met halfway, there was a loud explosion. All the ice needles burst into small pieces and were shattered in every direction onto the floor of the Saircraft. “Wow, it’s a good show,” Fanta Lord smiled while watching the fight intently. For a moment, no one could have an upper hand in the fight. It seemed they would be tied, but all of a sudden, Jacob took out a long staff from nowhere and smashed it heavily at Carl. Carl had to block his smash with his arms. Carl was soon hurt by the smashes, with a lot of bruises on his arms. “Catch it, Carl!” shouted Tolly while throwing his own Golden Staff to Carl, Carl turned around, jumping into the sky, and grabbed Tolly’s Golden Staff in his hand instantly. Jacob smashed harder than before. Yet, Carl didn’t nee
