Chapter 161: Group Purification
Silence, absolute silence.
Looking at the Mist Tower Apprentice killed by Leiman, all the Black Wizard Apprentice had a strong look of wariness on their faces.
They could no longer tell if Leiman had done it on purpose or if he had fallen under a mental illusion.
Even if they were more inclined to believe the latter, a seed of distrust had already quietly been planted in the hearts of all the Black Wizard Apprentice.
"Black Bone Forest, you are just a bunch of untrustworthy scumbags—" Besides Leiman's side, the other two who were still entangled in battle had also decided the winner.
Because the Mist Tower Apprentice had had an arm broken by a sneak attack at the very beginning, he ultimately left with hatred.
But before leaving the secret realm, that Mist Tower Apprentice pointed his spearhead without deviation at all the Black Bone Forest Apprentice.
It was precisely his words that completely shattered the already fragile cooperative relationship between Black Bone Forest and Mist Tower.
Even though they knew that someone from White Coral Academy was causing trouble, who could say for sure whether the Black Bone Forest Apprentice who cut off someone else's arm also had the subjective intention to go with the flow?
Moreover, why were the ones who were repeatedly sneak-attacked Mist Tower Apprentice, and not Black Bone Forest?
Endless speculation continued to spread in everyone's hearts.
The Mist Tower Apprentice, who had lost two people for no reason, instead became the weaker party at this moment. "Such a simple provocation actually caused their cooperation to start collapsing—"
After the mirror illusion, looking at the subtle atmosphere between Mist Tower and Black Bone Forest, Vivian, who was sitting next to Jia Na watching the show, said with a hint of sarcasm.
"After all, there is no trust between Black Wizard. Even if they can see that all of this is a 'scheme' aimed at them, the nature of Black Wizard makes these people have to continue following the script..."
Saying this, Jia Na's gaze couldn't help but look at Bell-Moonshadow beside her, as well as Luo - Yinhu, who played a crucial role in this 'provocation' plan—
Just a few minutes ago:
When the White Coral apprentice participating in the team battle had been reduced to nine people, Jia Na, seizing the opportunity, decisively made her move.
Given the opponent's absolute advantage in numbers, Jia Na's first plan was to find opportunities to defeat them one by one. Secondly, it was to use divisive tactics to provoke the temporary cooperative relationship between Black Bone Forest and Mist Tower.
After the general plan framework was finalized, Jia Na first used her advantage of hiding in the dark, utilizing Sound Transmission Witchcraft, to first inform Bell-Moonshadow to cast the Gathering Mist talent to divert the opponent's attention.
Then, she immediately instructed several White Coral apprentice, including Hugh-Stone, to block their hearing and begin withdrawing from the mist area.
After completing these two steps, Jia Na officially began to make her move.
First, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's attention was diverted by the mist, she used the two Witchcraft, Siren's Song and Spore Parasitism, to bring the entire battle into a brief period of stagnation.
It was precisely during this gap that Jia Na quickly found Luo - Yinhu in the mist, and in conjunction with his Five Senses Deception illusion and her own Mind Enchantment control, they jointly cast spells to influence two Black Bone Forest Apprentice.
After doing all this, just as the mist was about to be blown away by a strong wind, Jia Na ordered the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon to do its best to create a mirror illusion large enough to accommodate more than ten people, allowing the White Coral apprentice to temporarily hide inside. "Miss Jia Na, thank you for the treatment—here are three plaques."
"You're welcome, Senior Hugh."
Taking the plaques handed over by the other party, Jia Na's smile became even gentler.
Seeing this, and looking at the power of the Curse completely extracted from Hugh-Stone's body by the Celestial Sparrow, as well as the wounds that were nearly healed under Jia Na's Level 29 Quick Healing Witchcraft, the other few White Coral apprentice also made a decisive decision, handing their plaques to Jia Na and asking her to purify the Curse for them.
"Because my contracted creature consumed quite a bit of magic power when treating Senior Hugh just now—so,"
I can only simply suppress the Curse now, unable to completely eradicate it—"
Hearing this, the surrounding people couldn't help but look at Hugh-Stone with a hint of resentment.
"So, you only need to give me two plaques, or Swamp Magic Frog tongues of equal value, and that will be enough." Hearing that there was a discount, and needing time, the resentment in the hearts of several apprentice who had originally complained about Hugh-Stone monopolizing medical resources immediately dissipated by more than half.
Almost everyone scrambled to hand their plaques, or twenty Swamp Magic Frog tongues, to Jia Na, afraid of being the last one delayed.
After all, compared to a mere twenty academic credits, as long as they could stay in the secret realm for one more hour, these losses could be completely recovered.
"Miss Jia Na, you really know how to make money."
Hearing the sound transmission from Hugh-Stone in her ear, the expression on Jia Na's face did not change at all. While urging the Celestial Sparrow to purify the Curse for those paying apprentice, she did not forget to reply to Hugh-Stone with a rather sincere tone via sound transmission.
"That also requires Senior Hugh's cooperation in the performance, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to gain everyone's trust so smoothly."
Hearing Jia Na's sound transmission, Hugh-Stone, whose body was no longer in serious condition, shrugged slightly helplessly.
Just now, when the heavily injured Hugh-Stone returned to the mirror illusion, he had just sat down not long ago when he heard Jia Na's sound transmission about paid treatment.
Moreover, the treatment fee was not the three plaques agreed upon openly; in reality, only two plaques were needed.
Just as Hugh-Stone readily agreed to this transaction, Jia Na proposed that when Hugh-Stone paid her the plaque reward, he should hand over three plaques to her in front of everyone, and he should also show an attitude of being extremely satisfied with the treatment effect.
As for the extra plaque, Jia Na would privately return it to Hugh-Stone afterward, without letting others discover it. Watching everyone hand their plaques to Jia Na while also looking incredibly grateful, Hugh-Stone's heart was filled with nothing but sighs and admiration.
Sighing at the naive White Coral apprentice who were 'tricked' by Jia Na without realizing it.
Admiring that beneath Jia Na's pure and flawless appearance, she hid a belly full of bad intentions—
"You've worked hard, Afu."
Looking at the Celestial Sparrow, which was already panting with exhaustion, Jia Na gently stroked its head feathers.
"Master, A—Afu is honored to serve you—"
"Alright, get some good rest and stop saying such polite words."
Since there were only two hours left until the end of the assessment. Coupled with the relatively weak Curse magnetic field in the core inner area.
Therefore, Jia Na currently did not need the Celestial Sparrow to purify her every once in a while.
"It's alright, Master. Afu has just consumed quite a bit of stamina, but there's still a lot of magic power left..."
