Free Web NovelLuo Yang had no choice but to make that decision.
He had other objectives for this trip and absolutely could not allow the Ghost Face Vicious Bear to be severely injured here, otherwise, their trip would have been in vain.
He glared at Mingxi resentfully, as if to engrave her face into his heart, while Xia Dasheng and the other two were completely ignored by him.
Mingxi herself was impressed by how the target of hatred had shifted.
When he said he was leaving, he truly left.
From turning around to walking away, his posture was so steady that he didn't even glance back.
However, the Ghost Face Vicious Bear, having suffered a great loss and humiliation, was clearly unwilling, frequently turning back to bare its fangs at Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower.
The ghost face on its right shoulder also changed wildly, its anger continuously accumulating, and its emotions were very unstable.
It was extremely fierce.
Watching Luo Yang's retreating figure, who didn't look back, Chang Yunlin and the other three students exchanged glances.
Three pairs of eyes secretly peeked at the smiling young girl not far away, their hearts filled with complex emotions.
Before today, they had also heard of Mingxi.
But they held a ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) certain degree of doubt and skepticism towards her; they all felt that the rumors online were either exaggerated or that Mingxi had a team behind her, deliberately hyping her up.
In short, they didn't really believe that Mingxi was truly that much of a genius.
However, everything that happened today proved that those online rumors might all be true.
After all, even Teacher Luo, whom their senior sister described as gloomy, unreasonable in his actions, but very strong, suffered a great loss at her hands.
The young girl, with just one Advanced Level pet and one intermediate-level pet, utterly defeated Teacher Luo, who had four pets.
In the end, he could only leave in a sorry state, completely losing his temper.
Such formidable strength was something they couldn't achieve even if given another three to five years.
At this moment, the three of them inevitably felt somewhat ashamed; they were all a year older than Mingxi, yet their strength had already fallen far behind hers.
This fact made the proud trio feel both frustrated and unwilling, as well as helpless and inferior.
Especially Chang Yunlin, who had previously mocked Mingxi, felt a strong sense of guilt and unease, as if he had unknowingly ridiculed a big shot.
"What are you still standing around for? Waiting for someone to invite you to a one-on-one battle?"
Not hearing the three of them follow, Luo Yang turned back with a stony face and called out twice impatiently.
The three of them awoke as if from a dream and quickly lowered their heads to follow.
Watching the four teachers and students leave, Mingxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Luo Yang hadn't compromised and let the Ghost Face Vicious Bear use its full power regardless, she really wasn't sure if her group could escape unscathed.
Thunder God's Wrath had some deterrent effect on King-level pets, but not much.
Although she had the Time Realm, she wasn't worried about a war of attrition, but abnormal situations always indicated something sinister.
Little Silver Flower only had intermediate-level strength; using Holy Healing once or twice, or even three or four times, could be explained, but continuous multiple uses would inevitably arouse the suspicion of that Bei Yi Vocational High School teacher.
Also, Mingxi had to guard against the Ghost Face Vicious Bear directly attacking Little Silver Flower.
If Little Silver Flower was defeated, then the "infinite healing" move could not be used.
Then it would be their side that fell into a difficult situation.
Fortunately, Luo Yang seemed to have concerns and did not intend to fight her to the death. freewёbnoνel.com
"Sister!"
Once they confirmed that Teacher Luo and his students had left, Xia Dasheng and the other two were so excited they wanted to dance a samba.
The three of them walked up to Mingxi and first sincerely expressed their gratitude.
"Sister, we won't say much else. Please accept this energy crystal; it's a token of our gratitude."
Xia Dasheng pulled out a blue-white crystal from his backpack, larger than an adult man's fist.
The crystal was smooth and translucent, with a liquid-like substance flowing inside; overall, it looked a bit like a sapphire and also like amber.
Mingxi raised an eyebrow; even without a detector, she could identify the grade of this crystal.
An Ice-attribute A-level energy crystal.
This was the main reason why the teacher from Bei Yi Vocational High School had relentlessly pursued Xia Dasheng and the other two.
Liu Yancheng had mentioned earlier that this energy crystal was the last gift Xia Dasheng's grandfather had given him before he passed away.
It held extraordinary significance for Xia Dasheng.
"Dasheng..." freewebnoveℓ.com
Zhou Ying and Liu Yancheng looked conflicted when he took out the energy crystal, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
Xia Dasheng smiled at the two of them.
"I know what you want to say, but without Sister Mingxi's help, this energy crystal would have already fallen into the hands of that Bei Yi teacher."
Xia Dasheng looked at Mingxi and added, "So, essentially, this energy crystal is something you obtained from that teacher, it's your spoils of war."
He was more open-minded now and not as disappointed or unwilling.
After all, before Mingxi appeared, he had already prepared to hand over the item to save their group.
Now, giving the energy crystal to Mingxi, he was even more willing.
At least Mingxi was a friend, not an enemy.
Mingxi glanced at the energy crystal offered to her; it would definitely be a lie to say she wasn't tempted.
The value of an energy crystal is primarily determined by its grade; a one-grade difference can result in a price difference of several or even dozens of times.
For example, if a Thunder-attribute c-level energy crystal is worth 10,000 star coins, then a Thunder-attribute B-level energy crystal of the same type might be worth 100,000, or even 300,000.
An Ice-attribute A-level energy crystal, while not priceless, would definitely start at a million.
Given the volume of this energy crystal, it would certainly be snatched up by many people even if priced at two million.
Otherwise, that old geezer from Bei Yi wouldn't have shamelessly robbed them.
Mingxi, who felt the heavy pressure of supporting her family, was also greedy for money; with two million star coins placed before her, it felt wrong to refuse.
Moreover, Lan Yue was an Ice-attribute pet, and she might need energy crystals for her future evolution.
But a gentleman loves money and acquires it ethically; she, as a lady, surely couldn't be worse than a gentleman.
She really couldn't bring herself to shamelessly accept someone else's family heirloom.
"Brother Xia, energy crystals are good things, but I can't accept this one."
Seeing him open his mouth to persuade her, she quickly raised her hand to stop him, "You don't need to persuade me, and you don't need to feel indebted to me. Actually, my intervention with that Bei Yi teacher wasn't entirely to help you..."
Mingxi candidly explained everything: that Lan Yue was undergoing evolution and couldn't be disturbed, and that their travel route might very well affect Lan Yue's evolution.
She didn't want to owe anyone favors.
After hearing Mingxi's explanation, Xia Dasheng and the other two suddenly understood.
They knew their place; their friendship with Mingxi was definitely not deep enough for her to offend Bei Yi Vocational High School without hesitation.
So it was for that mutated Ice Soul Lynx.
"So that's how it is. Regardless, the fact that you saved us remains." Xia Dasheng said with a smile, not insisting on giving her the energy crystal anymore.
It wasn't that he felt Mingxi wasn't worthy, but rather that he saw she was determined not to accept it.
"Exactly, exactly! If it weren't for you, Sister, not only would we not have kept the energy crystal, the Snowmelt Flower would have been stolen, and we might have even lost our lives." Liu Yancheng chimed in.
Mingxi waved her hand, "It wouldn't have gone that far."
