Chapter 396 - The Creation of Fire
But it wasn’t good.
The spear felt as if it was real, travelling between the void and reality, striking deep into Jiang Chen’s soul.
Jiang Chen kept stepping back, very pale. It had only been a few seconds, but he felt as if he had been hit hard. He was gasping for air.
Others were also suffering. A guy pondering upon the creation of fire shrieked and tumbled to the ground as if there were a fire to extinguish, but no one else had seen a single spark.
Such effects plagued everyone. Everyone’s suffering differed with the creation they were working on.
In less extreme cases, they knew they were merely suffering in their minds, so they managed to stay calm.
In the worst cases, they were like the guy who was rolling on the ground.
By then, the old man suddenly stood up. He glanced around the trainees and said, “Not much time left.”
In the next few minutes, the trainees came back to themselves one by one, but some of them were still trying.
When it was time, all of the scrolls rolled up automatically and went back into the secret compartments in the walls.
They were forced to stop, even if they didn’t want to. They looked towards the old man, nervous and expectant.
“No one will be eliminated. Take it easy,” the old man said.
Many people relaxed. Then they all looked towards Jiang Chen in appreciation.
“Class leader, thanks for your tips.”
“Yeah, it was just in time. It was a wise choice to elect you as class leader.”
“I can’t figure out how you knew that. I was totally panicked under the circumstances.”
Jiang Chen smiled as a thanks to those people.
“Huh, that’s because you’re useless. How difficult could it be to figure out what he said?” Yuchi Hong said in a harsh voice.
His reply irritated nearly everyone.
“You used his tips, too. How could you say something like that?” Tianxu rebuked him.
“Huh, I didn’t force him to tell me. Can you prove I followed his instructions instead of figuring it out by myself?” Yuchi Hong said, smiling coldly.
“Simple. Next time, the class leader will only convey his tips through holy awareness and won’t speak them out loud. I don’t think that genius will care,” someone suggested.
Yuchi Hong’s expression changed. He wouldn’t be as confident if they really did that.
“Okay. Don’t say them out loud. I don’t care anyway. Besides…”
Yuchi Hong suddenly stared at Jiang Chen and said, “You set yourself against me again and again and harmed the Yuchis’ reputation. I’m going to duel with you. We’ll start as soon as we leave!”
The others looked at him with strange expressions.
It was him who had been chasing Jiang Chen like a crazy dog, but he had made it sound like it was Jiang Chen who had gone against him intentionally.
“As you wish.” Jiang Chen didn’t take the challenge seriously.
“You’ll regret this,” Yuchi Hong said complacently. He wished he could go outside immediately to teach Jiang Chen a lesson.
