Ten years after the failed awakening, I became a god

Chapter 39: Unexpected Events

Lan Yin was stunned: "So the spirit body can be used like this."

She admitted that her previous thought that this spirit could only become the richest man in the empire was too superficial. It seemed that every spirit had strong combat capabilities. It just depended on how the awakened spiritualist used his spirit.

She still has a lot to learn.

After a while, Lan Yin looked at the people in front of her and they looked at each other in confusion.

In the very center of the inner circle was a crystal stone flashing with lightning patterns. Lan Yin felt that this was the Thunder Stone they were looking for.

There is a small pool surrounding the bottom of the crystal. In the center of such a boundless grassland, although it is a very small pool, it nourishes the entire grassland like an ocean.

Apart from this pool, Lan Yin didn't see any other water source along the way.

Now there was a group of people standing by the small pool. Except for Wen Qingya, Lan Baobao, and Wen Jiaojiao, she knew the faces of the others. She couldn't tell who was who because of the changes in their identities in the simulation cabin.

Because no one spoke first at this time.

Lan Yin tentatively threw the detecting spirit on five other people she didn't know. The detected spirit told her that the five people opposite were the remaining five people in Shenglong Palace.

Lan Beibei, Ji Chunlu, Wen Mo, Wen Ling and Shi Heng.

Everyone gathered in Shenglong Hall.

Lan Yin looked at the situation and lowered her eyes in thought. They had clearly agreed in Shenglong Hall that this time, first place would go to Blue Baby.

The way to get the first place is to obtain the Thunder Stone, and the Thunder Stone is suspected to be above the pool in front of you. Others who are not participating in the competition for the first place are considered excellent as long as they enter the inner circle, so except for Blue Baby, there is no need for others to come to this place.

Lan Yin wondered how she got to this place. She followed the guidance of Lan Pingping's golden flat-top spirit. But when Lan Yin looked up again, she found that the golden flat-top had disappeared when she was not paying attention.

They also left the range of the thunder and kept a certain distance from the thunder outside.

After a period of silence, the first voice to be heard was that of Blue Baby.

"Is this the Thunder Stone? Qingya."

Wen Qingya frowned and didn't answer Blue Baby's question. In the public eye, everyone else kept their identities a secret, yet Blue Baby just called out her name.

It seems that some people's fox tails can no longer be hidden.

Wen Qingya didn't reply, and Blue Baby wasn't embarrassed. Instead, he took a step forward, muttering to himself, and asked the other five people and Lan Yin, "Are you from Qingyun Palace? We, Qingya, have already secured first place in this monthly exam. You'd better not overestimate your abilities."

Everyone: “·······”

Wen Qingya: “…”

Now I feel a little regretful for using the Thousand Machines Face Replacement function to replace the ugly face in the simulation cabin.

Why didn't I realize that Blue Baby was so annoying before?

If Lan Yin heard Wen Qingya's words, she might have commented: When two people have common interests, they can be good partners. But when their interests conflict, partners can easily become enemies.

This is an eternal truth.

A voice came from one of the five people on the opposite side, and Lan Yin recognized that this person was Shi Heng by detecting spirits.

"Didn't you receive a notification from your smart bracelet? The rules for this monthly exam have changed."

"changed?"

Blue Baby, Wen Qingya, and Lan Yin were stunned. Because in the previous monthly exams, it was assumed that the smart bracelet had no signal in the simulation cabin and could only be used to check the location and time of teammates. Therefore, for people like them who never teamed up with others, there was no need to check the information of the smart bracelet.

But now someone says the monthly exam rules have changed? They both took out their smart bracelets to check.

[The student who obtains the Thunder Stone in this monthly exam will be ranked first. Only students who help the first place student obtain the Thunder Stone will be recognized as outstanding.]

The rules for first place have not changed, but the rules for evaluation have changed.

Only the student who comes first in the group and obtains the Thunder Stone can be evaluated for excellence. Isn't this forcing the people of Shenglong Hall to take sides?

There is only one first place, but there can be many people assisting the first place.

But who is number one?

This is a question worth choosing.

Wen Qingya's expression changed slightly when she saw the rules, but Blue Baby smiled happily: "That's great, Qingya, I will definitely help you win first place."

Lan Yin: “?”

Blue Baby, are you sure you don’t want to take first place?

Why could she perform such a double-faced act in front of everyone in Shenglong Hall? Lan Yin said she couldn't learn it. Or was it that Blue Baby thought no one would recognize her, so she was fearless.

Wen Qingya showed a half-smile: "Then thank you in advance."

Blue Baby smiled sweetly: "Don't be polite to me, Qingya."

Wen Qingya glanced around at everyone and said with a smile, "I don't know if you're all from Shenglong Hall or Qingyun Hall, but I'd like to ask if anyone else wants to compete with me for first place?"

The other five people didn't say anything. Originally, when they were in Shenglong Palace, they had agreed that Blue Baby would take the first place, but now the situation has changed, and Blue Baby may not be able to get the first place as he wished.

Everyone has different opinions on whether they will take action at that time.

Seeing that the five people opposite did not speak, Wen Qingya turned her gaze to Lan Yin.

"Princess, are you interested in the first place in this monthly exam?"

Logically speaking, Lan Yin has the highest status among this group of people. According to normal social etiquette, the first place should be given to Her Royal Highness the Princess in Shenglong Palace.

But Lan Yin is just a princess without an awakened spirit.

Wen Qingya looked at Lan Yin with interest, waiting for her answer.

Lan Yin looked at Wen Qingya and asked, "Have the rules been changed midway through a monthly exam before? Why do I feel like this matter isn't so simple?"

Ji Chunlu couldn't help but continue, "Anything that happens during the monthly exam is normal. As long as the Thunder Stones are obtained legally, the results are legal. Princess, this is your first monthly exam, so it's understandable that you feel something is amiss. After all, you've never experienced this before."

Lan Yin looked at Ji Chunlu. Even though his appearance and voice had completely changed, the words he said were still as annoying.

Lan Beibei echoed, "Princess, you'll understand after taking a few more monthly exams. It's normal for various situations to occur during monthly exams. As long as they're not life-threatening, getting injured while using your spirit body is inevitable."

Lan Yin: “…”

Lan Yin looked at Lan Pingping, who nodded silently.

Did she really think too much?
