Dance Of The Phoenix
36. Big Three

"Don't be happy first. My strength is not comparable to yours, but don't be haughty when it comes to fighting the top three. I am currently at the 5-star 2nd level, but the top 3 ranks are at the 5-star 4th level." The woman Gu Yuena had just defeated warned.

Gu Yuena simply put on a smiling face, responding. "Thank you for the information."

They were already below the arena and apart from the match. The ice woman just left with her friends after giving a warning.

Actually, Gu Yuena was lazy to enter the top 3. But someone said that the top 10 was just the start of every game. If his goal was to enter Yuansu Palace quickly and glanced at the elders to become a direct disciple, he would have to break the record with all the achievements. Starting from the top 3, followed by the achievement of the first rank of the outer page.

Now, it was certain that Gu Yuena would get a quota of special privileges in the final exam. Although he did not know any special rights, he would find out later.

Gu Yuena intended to return to the dorm room. He walked alone, parting ways with Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin who were being hit by the task of the mentor.

Amidst the silent journey while gazing at the passing disciples, a beautiful girl came to him with a wide-open fan covering part of his face.

Gu Yuena's feelings were not good.

"You're Gu Yue, right? I saw your match earlier, then intend to learn a lot from you. My name is Lin Susu, from the Fengyuan division and summoner profession. Despite being in different classes, I hope we can make friends and help each other in the academy."

"But I'm not a Summoner, I can't teach you anything." Gu Yuena refused subtly.

He remembered who this woman was. Lin Susu was known as the prettiest disciple and goddess of the outer courtyard. His nature was jovial and friendly to everyone, making anyone reluctant to antagonize him for being too sweet. Many women are jealous of him. Besides, Lin Susu was also ranked in the top 5, more precisely being ranked 4th.

She was the only woman with the highest power in the outer courtyard after defeating the ice woman.

The reason Gu Yuena knew about it, was because he had been trying to recognize the enemy—especially the big 5—from various informants. There were three men and two women, two of whom were Xue Bing—the woman es—it and Lin Susu the highest. That was why, no one dared to refuse or underestimate Lin Milk.

"Gu Yue, we are both in the top 5. On the second exam chance I did get special privileges, but I still have to ask you for help for the first exam. Forget the second test, I find it hard to understand when trying to understand a mage."

"You've defeated the strongest mage, what is it called hard to understand?" Gu Yuena actually thought this woman had come to him so as not to be appointed to fight. Who wants to fight with him anyway.

"That day .. I was just lucky." Lin Milk lowered himself as low as possible. He must not fail to attract Gu Yue's attention. "Gu Yue, are you going to reject me again?" He put on a very cute pouty face.

Unfortunately, the cute face of women, let alone their age, did not make Gu Yuena melt. Gu Yuena was feeling goosebumps.

Su Churan's feelings which were also summoners were not eccentric to this extent.

"I'll think about it." Gu Yuena hurriedly left with a goosebumped body. He had to stay away from that strange woman.

Lin Susu exclaimed, "Gu Yue, if you agree don't forget to meet me at the eighth floor dormitory!"

Gu Yuena turned her head, then threw a forced smile before finally continuing on. You weird chick.

On the other hand, some of the fanatical fans of the lurking Lin Milk started to feel extremely annoyed. It could be that the new disciple approached their Goddess Lin and was invited to the dormitory.

Worse, how dare Gu Yue reject their Goddess Lin!

"Hmph! He'll regret it later."

"We'll teach you a lesson so as not to underestimate Goddess Lin."

"really. That Gu Yue was only lucky to be able to defeat Xue Bing at rank five."

"Only Senior Huang Jingtian and Senior Yun Qiao are worthy of Goddess Lin."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Gu Yuena reached the dorm room and sighed. He can be assessed by women in just a matter of minutes. Really troublesome.

To defeat the top three, he had to increase his strength once again. But a tier 5 cultivation could not only be done by absorbing qi. In order to refine qi that had already fused with the body, it required magic essence for a magic user for the enhancement to increase faster.

But the thing is, magic essence is very expensive in the market. They only sold them at auction, just like spirit stones used by cultivators like assassins, hunters, and archers, then monster spirits for summoners.

In order to create magic essence, he needed the acquaintance of Su Churan or someone else who knew how to make it. On this outside page there is no way anyone can.

"Magic essence ... who can make it?"

"You need magic essence? I happen to have a lot."

Gu Yuena turned to look at Luo Youzhe who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He placed several glass bottles filled with colorful magic on the table. It was magic essence with good quality.

"A lot. How'd you get it?" Gu Yuena was fully focused on the essence of magic.

Gu Yuena sighed. "It's better to tell me how to make it than to give me straight. There's gotta be a pay."

Luo Youzhe chuckled. "To make magic essence, you must reach level 6 in order to succeed. That's also a very minimal success rate. There's no point in studying now."

"So you made all this?" Gu Yuena hesitated.

"Guess what."

Does that mean her conjecture is right, Luo Youzhe is already above level 6? To make this much magic essence in such a short period of time, at least Luo Youzhe should be at level 7. It would be very detrimental to provoke it.

"How much do you pay?" Gu Yuena looked around at the bottle containing the magic essence carefully. He did not understand the purity of the magic essence, but the energy released by the magic essence calmed his nerves.

"Take it with something you found a while ago."

Gu Yuena looked at Luo Youzhe for a while. The thing he found? Suddenly he remembered the black stone he had found on the roof of the dorm room. But it's been 6 months, why just ask? Did Luo Youzhe put it down and just realize that the thing disappeared?

Gu Yuena took it out lightly. The jet-black stone was still intact in his hand, not emitting any strength at all to him. It looks more like an old stone.

"You know what this is? You put it down?" Gu Yuena asked before handing him over.

Luo Youzhe did not reply. He took the stone just like that made Gu Yuena upset herself. "You can take all the magic essence as you please. Remember, use it slowly and not excessively. They can devour you."

"You haven't answered my question."

Luo Youzhe only looked at Gu Yuena's pair of red irises, then said, "This is something evil."

Gu Yuena had not had time to reply, Luo Youzhe had already disappeared in the darkness, leaving behind various questions that stuck Gu Yuena's mind.

Never mind. No, not related to him. Gu Yuena kept all the magic essence left on that table, leaving one of them.

The magic essence of each monster will give its own power to the absorber. The dark red magic essence in Gu Yuena's hand showed that it was a type of great fire power based on the concentration of color. The more concentrated the color, the greater the strength.

Most likely, this was the magic essence of a level 7 monster that could only be killed by a few tier 8 and 9 level cultivators. His strength was equivalent to that of a level 9 cultivator.

Gu Yuena was curious. What was Luo Youzhe's true strength like?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Three days later, Gu Yuena returned to the top 3. Despite not breaking through the levels, thanks to the magic essence, Gu Yuena felt her strength increase beyond before.

He was already used to competing with the same cultivation-based disciples, but this time he was competing with a much different one. He was curious how the strength of a tier 5 4-star might be, before breaking through to a 5-star pinnacle.

In the stands, Gu Yuena could see her two friends shouting excitedly. On the other hand, he also saw Lin Susu sitting quietly while smiling towards him. It made it used as a blasphemy for fanatical fans Lin Susu. Lin Susu also did not listen to them at all, focusing on the arena.

His opponent this time was an archer. Archer focused the speed of attack on his weapon and gave as far distance as possible to the opponent. They would be weakened if they were in close combat.

His opponent this time used a silver arrow weapon that looked luxurious and heavy. Not only that, the power in the arrow also had a fairly strong pressure and gave the power to its owner to use.

Lastly what Gu Yuena heard, the man in front of her split the monster using his several arrows in the forest in a single strike. Such power is incredible.

Since both of them used long-range attacks as the main battle, Gu Yuena would not feel disadvantaged.

The match starts as soon as the referee gives a warning.

Several arrows floated in the air in a straight line at high speed. Gu Yuena dodged, then looked at the man who continued to cast his arrows continuously as if it had never been exhausted. The man also kept as far away from Gu Yuena's attack as possible.

The qi flakes formed and charged at the arrows that shot through the air like rain. Gu Yuena dashed quickly to each side while throwing long-range attacks. Gu Yuena's extremely fast movements made the archer difficult.

The man shot several arrows gathered in a circle carrying the wind with him. An arrow tornado formed, the sounding of the famous arrow was so terrifying among the whirlwinds in the middle of the arena. For a windbender, it's not complicated to combine a weapon with a controlled wind to form a storm.

Simultaneously, a clear white-colored armor appeared around the man's body. The qi armor that formed when it entered the 5th level, Gu Yuena could also take it out.

But Gu Yuena had no intention of using the technique, as it was useless to her. Armor qi could only be used by someone armed to the maximum, whereas Gu Yuena was a magician who did not use weapons, just like a mage.

Actually mages use magic sticks as weapons, but some genius mages do not need to use them. Being able to use magic without a wand is already amazing for mages. In everyone's eyes, Gu Yue was such a genius mage.

Matches get fiercer over time, making the stands full of spectators. The arrows kept darting from the tornado and swept across the arena just like that. The wind that blew instead of dimming Gu Yuena's fire, it enlarged it. Tapuka tornado devoured the flames Gu Yuena created, Gu Yuena's flames filled the tornado making it turn red.

The tornado grew increasingly chaotic as the man pulled Gu Yuena into it to fight. Everyone could no longer see what was happening inside. They only saw the two participants had been sucked into the fiery arrow tornado.
