The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 40: Xiao Chun

The bugs were assailed by the intense sunlight the moment they broke through the ground. Being nocturnal, this made them very uncomfortable and they wiggled and fidgeted about, their mood exceptionally bad.

They sprayed acid at Feng Wu the moment they sensed her in the area. She evaded and the acid hit the ground with a sizzling sound, eating away at the dirt and leaving a depression much like those that dotted the area. The depressions made it seem like she was on the moon or an asteroid.

The bugs didnt give up; they continued to bombard Feng Wu with a constant stream of acid. She nimbly evaded the sprays while launching her own counterattacks. Alighting on the wind she wove around the bugs before striking with her sword. Sparks flew as her blade scraped against the shell. It failed to pierce through and slid harmlessly across their bodies every time she tried. The sword just wasnt strong enough, but it was easy to use and the only sword she had on hand, so she continued to try stab the bugs with it.

Her brow wrinkled. Just as the thought of retreating entered her mind an immense pressure came from the sky. The pressure pressed down on the bugs so fiercely it cracked their shells and ruptured their bodies. Accompanying the pressure was a silver sword. It radiated white light and gave off an ancient feeling. The sword was clearly extraordinary.

Feng Wus eyes lit up with excitement at the sight. Xiao Chun!

Upon hearing its name, the ancient sword flew to Feng Wu only to abruptly stop in front of her as though confused. It looked at her not knowing what to make of the situation. This person had its masters aura but why was the appearance not right? *sniff sniff* The sword knew this was definitely its master after sniffing some more. There was no one else with such a comfortable aura and unique scent. Certain now that the girl was its master, the sword flew closer and rubbed her gently on the cheeks and let out a cheerful and happy sound.

James, Lou Shali, and Jier Rogge looked at the blank mirror in consternation. Although the headmaster said the images in the viewing mirror would be restored, they still couldnt see anything. Without a visual there was no way for them to check or score the children properly.

Suddenly the images were restored, and the children reappeared in the mirror. Now to find out who the heavenly artifact chose! However, they came away empty handed even after checking all the candidates twice. How could this be? They definitely saw the silvery light of the sword fly into the mirror. Yet no matter how meticulously they looked, they couldnt find it anywhere. Who had it? What was going on?

The teachers werent the only ones wondering. Ai Lin also had no luck finding the sword. She had a feeling it was something precious. If she could get her hands on it she was sure she could successfully attack Zi Cheng. On the bright side she did find a magic book while searching for the sword. The book, which she found hidden inside a hole in a tree, was of a modest tier level. She knew it would be enough to let her enter Xingguang Holy Academy. Even though she couldnt find the sword from earlier, the fact that she would be admitted to the school made her happy.

She was 100% certain the sword wasnt in the original story, nor the earthquake for that matter. It was a pity she couldnt get the sword. She could only hope that whoever got it, it wasnt Zi Cheng. Zi Cheng already had an insane advantage with her cheat abilities as the female protagonist! She didnt need anymore.

How overwhelming! The girl already has so many advantages. Any more and Ai Lin could kiss her chance of beating her goodbye. She had to keep an eye out. Ai Lin refused to allow the original tragedy for her character to happen.

Zi Cheng cemented her original destiny when she found the holy level magic book. It was an incredibly powerful item and would aid her greatly. Unsure if she would have to hand it over at the end of the assessments, she read through the entire thing, trying to cram as much of it into her brain as she could. Even if she couldnt understand it now, there was no harm in remembering it for the future. The idea of handing it over was unbearable though. It was a holy level spell book that could shake the heavens! She really wanted to hold on to it.

While she was studying it, magic energy filled the air, and something streaked across the sky. Zi Chengs intuition was excellent, and her intuition was telling her that whatever it was that passed by was important. Although her cheat system couldnt analyze it, it told her the object had the potential to be an artifact.

An artifact was an extraordinary find. In the end she couldnt find it despite all her efforts. Though disappointed she didnt dwell too much on it. Both her and Yifu found magical items so they were set.

She was curious about the owner of the artifact but wasnt as hung up on it as Ai Lin. There were so many people taking the assessments, finding out who claimed the artifact would be impossible unless the one who found it chose to share.

Ai Lin and Zi Cheng werent the only ones curious about the artifacts master. Others looking for it cursed over and over again their poor luck.

Who actually ran faster than me?! I was at the foot of the mountain! I saw it fall and went over to look for it, but still couldnt find it. Who was so lucky that they got there faster than me? Who is?! Who is it?! Stand and say. I promise not to kill you! A person dressed as a sword usershouted loudly as he held his sword in the air.
