Chapter 1117: A Stunt Even Scarier Than a One-Shot

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1116: A Stunt Even Scarier Than a One-Shot

After the Second Elder took the lead, the Seventh Elder snorted, reluctantly giving up.

No matter who conducts the trial, as long as someone evaluates that girl, it’s an opportunity to bring her under his wing.

He stared intently at Qin Xin, never relaxing for a moment, as if trying to capture her very soul.

The Second Elder stood up and slowly strolled onto the stage.

The students below were extremely excited. This was the first time they were seeing an Elder in action. Unlike the previous time when birds were summoned, this was a true display of supernatural abilities.

Lan Qingxin probably… couldn’t withstand even one move, right?

Just like when she easily defeated other contestants, to the Second Elder, she was also someone who could be defeated with ease, right?

The White Robe Tutor on the judges’ panel, with a cold and stern gaze, had already slowly raised his hands, ready to assist Qin Xin if the Second Elder acted too harshly.

In the midst of everyone’s attention.

The Second Elder said, “Lan, prepare yourself,” as he raised his wide sleeves. A cold wind swept across, causing all the students present to shiver involuntarily, their minds going blank.

Subsequently, there was a moment of silence on the judges’ panel.

The entire arena seemed to have its clock turned down; all movements and sounds stopped, except for the rustling of the wind, there was no movement.

Time was frozen!

A powerful Time Mage could simultaneously halt time for people and objects within a sufficiently large space.

After a while.

The elders on the panel finally regained their senses.

Their Spiritual Power was the strongest, allowing them to be the first to break free from the constraints of time.

“Second Elder, you’re pulling this trick again…” one of the elders grumbled, but before he could finish, he was astonished and began to stutter, “That-that-that female student, how is she moving? Isn’t she bound by the time abilities?”

At this moment, Qin Xin was leisurely walking on the stage, stretching her arms and loosening her wrists.

No one noticed that at her sleeve, a small, soft, white bug was lazily stretching while simultaneously freeing the little ginger snake and Little Dongju from their rigid state.

Everyone could only see how relaxed she was, not at all resembling someone frozen in time.

She seemed to be awake earlier than the elders, or perhaps she wasn’t held in place at all.

The Seventh Elder’s immediate reaction was: “Jing Chen, you cheated! You didn’t use your time abilities on her at all!”

In his urgency, he didn’t even address him as the Second Elder, calling him directly by name.

The Second Elder said calmly, “The entire field is covered by my time abilities, how could she possibly be spared? Time abilities are not like your fire system; they don’t select targets, there’s only the partitioning of the Space-Time Domain. If you don’t understand, don’t question rashly.”

The Great Elder nodded slowly, “The reasoning is sound, but… how do you explain this girl managing to avoid your ability’s attack?”

The Second Elder furrowed his brow, “Perhaps her Spiritual Power is rather unique. Plant-based abilities are extremely rare; I think it would be prudent to observe a bit more.”

Saying this, he turned to the White Robe Tutor on the judges’ panel, “It’s best to have her instructed individually by her tutor, and keep a detailed record of her learning progress for us to review and research. Once her Spiritual Power ascends a few levels, then we can consider taking her as an apprentice and studying further.”

The White Robe Tutor, with his wary hands slowly descending, nodded insensibly while wearing his mask: “Hmm.”

The Second Elder’s proposal, however, met with strong opposition from the Seventh Elder: “This is a waste of time! I disagree! Last time I wanted to take her as an apprentice, and this damned girl avoided it by saying she needed to continue cultivating. This time she wants to avoid it again? Not a chance!”
