“Sha- Sha-”

There was a sound that carried up from the yellow sand, but it didn’t surprise Sima You Yue at all. She continued to sit in the tent while looking outside lazily.

“Ka cha-”

She heard the sound of some pincers opening and closing. Then, one by one, fire red pincers began coming out from inside the golden sand, followed by one to two metre long red colored scorpions.

“Ka cha- Ka cha-”

Five red scorpions surrounded Sima You Yue and her tent. Every single pair of eyes were shining with a hunger to devour her.

“What big scorpions. I wonder if they’re real or illusions. If they’re real, that would be the best.” Sima You Yue pondered while touching her chin.

Seeing that Sima You Yue seemed to be plotting against them secretly, the red scorpions were furious and one of them waved its pincer, signalling the other four red scorpions to attack.

Sima You Yue didn’t hesitate either, as she condensed a ball of fire and attacked the scorpions.

“Pssssh-”

As the fireballs landed on the red scorpions, it merely caused them to hesitate for a moment. It did not manage to cause them any serious harm.

“Resistant to fire?” Sima You Yue looked at the red scorpions with some surprise while avoiding the poison they were spitting out. As they were all attacking her at the same time, she wasn’t careful and the poison attacked her sleeve, creating a giant hole.

“Dammit, it hurts.” The sleeve brushed her leg and a wave of burning pain shot through her body.

Such potent venom!

If it was real, it would be perfect if she could extract their venom! Her eyes shone when she thought about it.

With a flip of her body, she immediately jumped off the red scorpion’s head and landed outside.

“Since you guys are resistant to fire, let’s try the others.”

She formed a seal with both hands as a metal whip quickly appeared in front of her. She grabbed it and quickly attacked the red scorpion.

If she guessed right, these red scorpions should be living below the desert. With high temperatures all year around, they slowly developed a resistance towards fire.

Fire and metal were the most complimentary attributes for a strong attack. Since fire was useless, she would just use metal.

“Pa-”

The whip landed on the body of a red scorpion, and the barbed end immediately broke their shell, landed on its soft body. She pulled the whip back as their blood started to flow.

“Chi-”

“One of the scorpions mounted a sneak attack, spitting venom at her. She quickly dodged to the side as the venom landed on the yellow sand, releasing a corrosive stench.”

“Ganging up to bully the loner!” She spat as she waved her whip and hooked onto another red scorpion. She then used force to fling that scorpion far into the distance.

Another hook, another throw, and those three scorpions were flung away in the blink of an eye, so they wouldn’t be able to come back for her anytime soon. After that, she continued to deal with the remaining two red scorpions.

She continued to whip the scorpions, and every attack was incredibly painful, drawing strength from her little by little, until one of them was finally whipped to death. The other had only a little bit of strength remaining, and she used her whip to restrain it. Finally, she formed a seal with both hands as the whip took the form of a sword, which fiercely slashed towards the red scorpion, cleaving it in two from the head to the tail.

The red scorpion that had been directly cleaved into two, had died immediately. It was only at this moment that the three scorpions came running back.

Seeing that their companions had died, the three scorpions were enraged as they attacked her together. This time, aside from their venom, they even used the spirit energy to attack.

Sima You Yue covered her body with a protective layer, then concentrated a bout of energy,

Producing small blades. Under her control, it flew towards the red scorpions.

“Shiiing-”

The red scorpions tried to use their claws to send the blades flying, while others spat venom to erode the blades. However, Sima You Yue didn’t hold back this time, and immediately produced a few tens more blades. Although some were beaten back, many cut into the red scorpions, until they had lost all ability to move, lying on the yellow sand as she delivered her final blows.

The tutors who were watching her from the crystal nodded their heads satisfactorily when they saw her performance.

“His battle abilities aren’t bad.”

“The average youth will be rather flustered when he encounters battle. His fighting prowers would then decline, and potentially be injured by the red scorpions. Although the glazed mirage wouldn’t kill people when it was under their control, the pain they felt during it was no joke.

Furthermore, she had already thought of splitting her enemies up from the beginning. Every move of hers showed her careful thought and was worthy of praise.

They watched as Sima You Yue lifted up a red scorpions with her eyes closed in thought as one of the tutors asked, “What is he doing?”

“He should be checking to see if those red scorpions are real.” Someone guessed.

Truly, Sima You Yue was ecstatic when she opened her eyes again only to see that the red scorpion was still there. She quickly gathered the five red scorpions and returned to the tent.

She placed the give scorpions side by side on the ground and squatted beside them. She pried off the shell at its tail, and started to examine it’s poison gland.

“Really some good stuff!” Thinking of how they had attacked her relentlessly with it, she was extremely curious. She took out a knife and cut off the poison gland, “If I purify this, it will definitely be a great item for those interested in poison. Who would have thought that these spirit beasts would actually be real!”

She took out a furnace and threw in the poison gland that she had cut off. After which, she lit the fire and the poison was quickly purified.

She did the same to the second, third…

“He’s an alchemist!” The alchemist said with some shock as he watched what Sima You Yue was doing.

“He’s an alchemist?”

“That’s right. Look at what he’s doing. He is purifying the ingredient.” The alchemist said, “Based on his methods, it looks like the lost ancient art.”

“Seeing how he is, it looks like his rank isn’t low either. Old Mu, check out what rank he is.”

“He shouldn’t be lower than fifth rank.” Old Mu, who was an alchemist, said.

“A twenty over year old fifth rank… His talent isn’t bad. However, it isn’t particularly outstanding.”

Old Mu glanced at them and said, “Don’t forget that apart from being an alchemist, he is also an array master. Furthermore, a rather powerful one as well.”

“So he’s an array master as well as an alchemist. It seems that our sect has gotten a good one this time!” The vice-principal said.

“The others have a pretty good showing as well. Canglang Li, An Ru Yu and the others are quickly catching up. It’s just that they have yet to understand the essence of this mirage. That is why they have yet to be able to link up with their interspatial rings.”

“Sigh, what kind of origins do these people have? Someone was actually able to link up with his interspatial ring already.”

That senior closed his eyes and thought it over. He was currently running through the previous scene in his mind. After a moment passed, he finally opened his eyes and said, “These people were initially standing together with that guy. It seems that they are together.”

“Oh? What kind of origin does this group have? It’s not bad. Could they be from some great clan?”

“We just have to check once we get back.”

“Let’s continue watching. Oh right, Send a few more spirit beasts over to that guy for some fun.” The vice-principal instructed.
