Chapter 12: Taking It All the Way

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The two of them continued to go deeper. At this moment, they had already arrived very close to the center.

Along the way, Chen Feng also picked up another metal box. He did the same thing and took away the inner cores from the box before putting the metal box back in its original place.

Regarding this, Leng Ruzhi chose to turn a blind eye to Chen Feng’s actions, and she effortlessly killed off those dire beasts that appeared.

She felt that she had no right to stop others from becoming stronger.

Chen Feng was happy about it.

Leng Ruzhi slashed down with her blade one last time, killing the last tier 2 dire beast at the scene.

Looking at the corpses of dire beasts littered all over the ground, Chen Feng nodded to himself.

Holy Light Envoy was indeed incomparably powerful.

At this moment, though Leng Ruzhi was not injured, she had already depleted a large amount of stamina.

Chen Feng kindly reminded, “Let’s just forget about it.”

“With your current stamina, it might be a little difficult for you to continue forward.”

Chen Feng tried to persuade her. That was the only thing he could do.

It was impossible for him to tell Leng Ruzhi that the golden box had already been taken.

Leng Ruzhi did say that she would share the first prize with him once they got it.

During the battle, she also protected Chen Feng.

However, that was not enough to change Chen Feng’s mind.

After all, he had already taken the first prize. It was impossible for him to divide the prize with her.

Moreover, Chen Feng did not need her protection.

Even if he died during the exam, it would only be his shadow clone that died.

Therefore, no matter what, Chen Feng could not expose his ability.

He would only persuade her to give up or hand the second prize over to Leng Ruzhi.

This was the best Chen Feng could do.

However, Leng Ruzhi was more determined than ever.

“No, I must get first place!” she said.

Hearing that, Chen Feng did not plan on persuading her anymore.

He did not understand the obsession that came with being a top student.

Just as Chen Feng was pondering if he should flee if Leng Ruzhi got in danger later, Leng Ruzhi gently raised her left hand.

The next moment, the exquisite ring on her left index finger lit up.

A small bottle of potion appeared in her hand and she drank it in one gulp.

In just a breath’s time, Leng Ruzhi’s stamina had recovered to its original state. It was as if she had never fought any dire beasts at all since the start of the exam.

Chen Feng was astounded.

Even though Chen Feng had never used such items before, he had more or less heard about them from his teacher.

It was an interspatial ring!

Perfect-grade Stamina Potion!

Was this something that could be taken out so easily?

An interspatial ring was not something that an ordinary family could afford.

Although perfect-grade Stamina Potions were not as expensive as interspatial rings, they were consumables!

Spending a few thousand yuan for a bottle of this for an exam…

The way she was blatantly flaunting her wealth really made one envious!

Chen Feng could not stop himself from complaining.

“Hey, isn’t it considered cheating to rely on external forces for the exam?” he asked.

Initially, after drinking the potion, a touch of color came back to Leng Ruzhi’s face.

However, upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, Leng Ruzhi immediately blushed crimson.

“I-I prepared this in advance.”

“Of course, making proper preparations in advance is also a show of strength.”

Although she said that, Leng Ruzhi’s voice gradually became softer as she spoke.

In the end, her words were almost inaudible.

From the looks of it, a small part of her was not that confident about the fact that she had the help of external forces for the exam.

Chen Feng was speechless.

Leng Ruzhi seemed to be completely different from his impression of her.

In the past two years, Chen Feng thought that Leng Ruzhi was a genius with a prominent family background and who thought highly of herself.

But now, from the looks of it, she seemed like an overly upright person.

Her sense of righteousness seemed like it would pour out of her.

Chen Feng felt that if he had a background like Leng Ruzhi’s, he would have no qualms about depending on his parents for everything. At the very least, he would not doubt himself like Leng Ruzhi.

“If I have a backer, why shouldn’t I rely on them?” he thought.

“Many people wish for a backer, but they don’t have one.”

Seeing Leng Ruzhi’s awkward expression, Chen Feng changed the topic.

“The center of the forest is just up ahead.”

“Those five dire beasts aren’t easy to deal with.”

At this moment, the two of them could already see the five Capricorns wandering in the center of the forest from afar.

On one hand, it was because there was a large open space in the center of the forest, so there was not much obstruction to his vision.

On the other hand, it might be because Chen Feng had taken the golden box in advance. That was why the Capricorns would wander around.

Looking at the five tall dire beasts, Leng Ruzhi’s expression returned to normal and she looked serious.

“I have to get first place!” she said.

With that, she walked forward.

Chen Feng tried to remind her one last time.

“I think it’s best if you let me go ahead and look around first,” he suggested.

“There’s no need for that.”

Leng Ruzhi rejected him outright.

Upon hearing that, Chen Feng did not say anything else.

He found that the school belle was an interesting person.

On one hand, she admitted that the two of them were teammates. She felt that she had the duty to protect her teammate, but she was unwilling to accept the help of her teammate.

On the other hand, she claimed that making enough preparations was also what powerhouses should do, but she was ashamed of her act of using potions.

What a contradictory genius.

However, she seemed to be a person of good nature.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the edge of the open space.

Leng Ruzhi reminded him, “Don’t get close. I might not be able to protect you.”

With that, she walked straight toward the five Capricorns.

As soon as they stepped into the empty space, the Capricorns immediately looked at Leng Ruzhi and roared fiercely. Then, they rushed over with heavy footsteps.

Leng Ruzhi, on the other hand, did not panic at all.

“I swear in the name of light…”

“Protect my body and guard my heart!

“Light Armor!”

In the next moment, the light that condensed in Leng Ruzhi’s hands transformed into an armor that enveloped her entire body, revealing only her eyes.

Seeing that, Chen Feng was rendered speechless once again.

“Not only does she have so many abilities, but she can also turn her body into armor?” he thought incredulously.

“This class of hers is too heaven-defying!”

Following that, Leng Ruzhi immediately used Blade of Light and Wings of Light.

Leng Ruzhi was like a war god as she flew into the air and engaged in combat with the dire beasts.

Capricorns were a superior-grade tier 3 dire beast. Those dire beasts they had encountered just now could not compare to them at all.

Moreover, she had to deal with five at once.

Although Leng Ruzhi had a legendary class, it was a little too difficult for her to deal with these five Capricorns at once.

When she first fought the two Capricorns closest to her, Leng Ruzhi could still fight with ease.

However, as soon as the other three Capricorns joined the battle, her weak spots gradually increased.

After a while, a Capricorn behind her seized the opportunity to injure Leng Ruzhi while she was dodging it. It wounded her with the sharp horn on its head.

The strength of a superior-grade tier 3 dire beast was ferocious.

A Capricorn like this would be able to break a huge tree that took five people hugging the base to reach all the way around.

Leng Ruzhi spat out a mouthful of blood.

It seemed that she was seriously wounded.

Chen Feng frowned slightly. He had already decided to go up and help.

Even if he could not defeat the Capricorn, he should not be in any danger if he helped her by attracting the Capricorns’ attention and luring two of them over to him.

However, the moment Chen Feng stepped into the center of the empty space, he saw the ring on Leng Ruzhi’s hand flash.

A bottle of potion appeared in Leng Ruzhi’s hand again.

Chen Feng was astounded.

A perfect-grade Healing Potion?

With regard to flaunting her wealth, she had really taken it all the way!
