Chapter 867 - You are my idol!
The blood kept boiling as black vapor arose. The blood became watery, and wasn’t as thick as before.
Sima You Yue observed closely and recorded the results every two minutes. After ten minutes, the reaction started to cool down.
“It worked.” As she stirred it with a jade stick, the blood changed.
“Mn, you can continue to study it.” Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue nodded and started to research it.
Mo Sha went back to his quiet self, seeing her research over and over. Once he was happy, he said, “Shi Qian Zhi’s poison’s technique is good, if you want to cure poison with poison, you can ask him.”
“…..” [Why didn’t you say so earlier!]
Sima You Yue glared at him and went back to researching.
“Wait, I’ll give it a try, if it doesn’t work, then I’ll go find him.”
Since he didn’t have faith in her, hehe, she didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to find the antidote.
Mo Sha took her thoughts to heart, he smiled and didn’t say anything.
Mo Sha watched as Sima You Yue studied in the spirit pagoda for many days. He had never wanted to see her so much, all he needed was to look at her and he was content.
Time flew by and it was now the seventh day. In the spirit pagoda, it was already seventy to eighty days, and Sima You Yue had finally found some rough ideas.
Today, Han Miao Shuang came looking for her. She had no choice but to stop her research and head out.
“Senior Sister, why are you here?” Sima You Yue asked while ushering her in.
“I know you were busy recently, if there wasn’t anything up, I wouldn’t have come to look for you.” Han Miao Shuang continued, ” Do you know what’s happening tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow? What’s on tomorrow?” Sima You Yue blinked.
“I knew you wouldn’t know!” Han Miao Shuang rolled her eyes,”Tomorrow is round two of the contest. As a rank one for the qualifying round, you need to attend the contest tomorrow.”
“The first round is already over? That’s fast!” Sima You Yue said with shock.
“It’s not fast, it’s already been ten over days.” Han Shuang Miao said, ” I knew you were inside and didn’t notice the time passing, so your friends asked me to come over to remind you so you wouldn’t be held up.”
“I understand, thank you, Senior Sister.”
“It’s nothing! I’ll get going now, you can continue with your stuff.”
Sima You Yue sent Han Miao Shuang off and went back into the spirit pagoda. She asked Little Spirit to take note of the time and continued researching her antidote.
On the second day, Little Spirit reminded her and she reached the contest venue on time.
Seeing faces that she hadn’t seen for a long time, everybody smiled and greeted her.
“You Yue you’re finally here!” He Feng held her shoulder and said, “If you took any longer to show up, we would have thought that you forfeited. We were worried for two days!”
Sima You Yue smiled at him and said, “Relax, I promised that I’ll compete with you. Even if we didn’t compete this round, I’ll still compete with you next time.”
“Really?” He Feng ridiated with joy and said, ” You should have said earlier, then I wouldn’t have been anxious for two days.”
“You made yourself anxious. We already told you, You Yue was busy, but you still want to be anxious.” Fatty Qu walked over and pulled his hands away from You Yue’s shoulder.
“I wouldn’t be at ease if I don’t see him here.” He Feng said.
What a battle-crazed fool!
Actually, in his heart, he knew he wouldn’t win You Yue in the contest. But he couldn’t let it go if he didn’t compete with her at least once.
A group of people walked into the plaza, followed by the teachers.
Teachers announced the rules. This time, it wouldn’t be according to ranking, everyone would have to draw lots, then rank them together. Those unlucky one would have to compete with those who were stronger.
Everybody drew their lots accordingly, including those five hundred people who got eliminated the previous round, totaling six hundred people.
Sima You Yue followed and queued up. When it was her turn, she put her hands in the box and drew a paper.
Number twenty, set to compete with number nineteen.
Sima You Yue was satisfied with the number because she would be queuing as the first few and could go back to her research after the contest.
She waited in the field for a while. It would take slightly more than an hour plus if a match was fast, and slightly more than two hours if it was slow.
She just happened to be in the second round, and she already finished her contest in the morning.
She was lucky, her opponent wasn’t strong. When the opponent saw her, he didn’t pay attention to her as she was just a freshman. He thought that she won first place in the qualification round by chance, thinking she wouldn’t be strong.
As such, he didn’t even mention his name and said to her, ” Let’s start.”
He thought that he would win this round easily, but even before a minute passed, he was already standing below the ring.
Seeing You Yue who was standing at his position, he didn’t have time to respond.
How did I come down here?
It felt… Like he had suddenly stood in front of himself, held himself up and was thrown out of the ring.
“Ring number five, Sima You Yue wins.” The judge’s voice rang in his ears, as he came back to his senses in shock.
He was eliminated just like this? He didn’t believe it, but the judges already announced the result, so he could only accept it.
It was the first time in the billboard’s ranking contest’s that someone got eliminated this quickly. The people on the viewing platform were stunned.
Sima You Yue turned around and walked down from the ring. As she was walking past her opponent, she told him that he did well, shaming her opponent till he was all red.
When she returned to the viewing platform, Sima You Yue and her friends weren’t surprised that her contest ended fast, but Tang Yan and the rest were shocked.
“You Yue, you’re amazing! You are totally my… how do I put it, idol, yes, idol.”
Tang Yan looked at her with respect. How could someone finish a contest so fast? Moveover, it was a freshman versus a senior!
Most importantly, she didn’t use any spiritual energy in her fight at all, nobody knew how powerful she was.
“Idol? I make you want to puke? (TL note: It’s just lost in translation) Sima You Yue frowned.
“Pfff——”
He Feng and the rest laughed, previously, when Fatty Qu and the rest used the word ‘idol’, they didn’t tell him that it had that connotation as well.
“I didn’t mean that, You Yue, don’t misunderstand me.” Tang Yan said.
“Just kidding.” Sima You Yue continued, ” I’m done with the contest, I’ll go back first. After this contest is over, remember to let me know.”
“Ok.”
He Feng watched as Sima You Yue left just like that. He felt curious deep down, what was she up to, why was she so busy that she didn’t even have time to watch the contest.
Tang Yan asked Sima You Lin who was beside her, Sima You Lin watched You Yue’s back, feeling sorry and said, “He’s busy with something that we can’t help with.”
“Is he always this busy?”
“Yes, he’s always busy, ever since I first knew him, he was always this busy, to the extent that he doesn’t even have time for himself…”
