As the Elvens concluded the contract in such a peaceful way, the Federation decided to name the seventh administrative star as the Elven planet.
Yuanen Huihui’s father was one of the representatives in that negotiation. The negotiations and observations of the Elvens lasted for many years. During his stay there, he fell in love with a female of the Elven tribe.
The Elves had an appearance similar to humans and were in line with human aesthetics. They naturally became husband and wife. Perhaps due to the influence of human genes, Yuanen Huihui’s mother gave birth to him after only thirty years of pregnancy.
However, perhaps because of the mutation caused by the combination of their different races, it was discovered shortly after birth that a very peculiar change happened to their child.
During daytime, he had a male body, but when night fell, he would transform into a female.
This change really caused headaches for his parents. He did not inherit the Martial Soul of the Titan Giant Ape family, but his mother’s line, coupled with a mutation.
In order to protect this secret, he was always living in the Elven Star until he was eight years old. Only then was he taken back to Heaven Douluo. It was precisely because he grew up in such a very simple environment that Yuanen Huihui was also very naive.
They brought him back to Heaven Douluo as a consideration for his growth. Although he had this secret, he was talented and cultivated very fast, so they decided to let him attend school at Shrek Academy.
Unexpectedly, as early as during the assessment, his secret was already exposed to everyone.
After hearing Yuanen Huihui’s story, everyone couldn’t help looking at each other. Relatively speaking, it was still okay for now. After all, Yuanen Huihui was only twelve years old. At the age of twelve, the difference between men and women had only begun to appear, it was not so obvious. But in a few years time…
And, should he be considered a male or a female?
Yuanen Huihui lowered her head and said, “I, I’m not a monster, it’s not like I wanted this. But…” After this, she started crying again.
Lan Xuanyu patted her on the shoulder, suddenly feeling a little guilty in his heart. Previously he was taking advantage of her, he would never have expected Yuanen Huihui to have such an important secret to bear.
“Huihui, don’t worry, we will all help you keep your secret. Right everyone ?” Lan Xuanyu looked at the others around him.
Everyone nodded one after another. Although they were still teenagers, they were all leaders of the younger generation, and they valued a promise very seriously.
“Thank you all.”
Qian Lei said grinning, “If we are all admitted this time, you will be in a dormitory with us in the future. We can also help you keep your secret.”
“Then what should I do at night?” Yuanen Huihui raised her head and looked at him pitifully.
“We don’t mind.” Qian Lei said very naturally.
“Nonsense, of course you don’t mind. But she is a girl at night !” Lan Mengqin said angrily.
“Uh…, you have a point. This is indeed a problem. It seems that you’ll have to find a way to apply for a single dormitory.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Yuanen Huihui nodded repeatedly. In fact, with her father’s help she also thought of this. Given the relationship between the Titan clan and Shrek Academy, it was not a big problem to apply for a single dormitory for her.
Dong Qianqiu said curiously, “Huihui, do you prefer your male or female identity?”
Yuanen Huihui was stunned, “I, I don’t know! I haven’t thought about it too much.”
Lan Mengqin said: “You still have to think about this. Because although your body will change, your personality will not change back and forth. You have to give yourself a lead in your heart. This is also good for your future.”
“Yes.” Yuanenhuihui responded and lowered her head.
“All right, let’s not talk about this anymore. Now that everyone has recovered a little, we need to go back to the hilly area. Bing Tianliang, please carry Lin Donghui on your back. Let’s go.”
After that battle of life and death, their temporarily formed team had become a lot more united. Unconsciously, everyone’s degree of approval towards Lan Xuanyu had increased significantly. After going through such a dangerous situation, everyone was able to get out of this alive.
With great difficulty, they finally climbed up the mountain again and returned to the hilly area.
Maybe thanks to the ruthlessness of their hunting the days before, it was still calm here. Now that they were back here, they could finally do shifts for resting.
When the blue sun and purple sun rose again on the third day, everyone’s strength had already recovered. Lin Donghui finally woke up, but was still very weak. He was injured internally and he had to also endure the backlash of his own fire attribute soul power. There weren’t some light injuries.
Lan Xuanyu took the decision to stop taking risks and stay in the hilly area, waiting for the end of the assessment.
Everyone supported his decision. They also had no more food or water. Although their soul power had recovered, their physical stamina could not be fully recovered. Being conservative was the best choice. Anyway, their harvest was already rich enough.
The crystal cores had different types and levels. After discussing with the partners, everyone quickly reached an agreement. All the crystal cores would be put together, and only after exchanging them for Shrek Emblems they would divide them between themselves.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t want 30% anymore, he stated that he wanted to split equally with his companions. But Bing Tianliang’s team, Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu all insisted that he should still get 30%. After all, without Lan Xuanyu’s command this time, they were sure that they would never get such a big gain. Especially the last crystal core, no one knew how good it could be valued for.
Under their push, in the end, Lan Xuanyu took 20%, and the others evenly divided the rest.
The day went by relatively easy. Although there were occasional scattered monsters passing by, under Lan Xuanyu’s instructions, they avoided encounters as much as possible in order to dodge new fights with boss-level monsters. With their weakened physical strength, safety came first.
After the last day and night, the rescue plane finally arrived. The locator in their hands was the best device for localizing them. Under the escort of numerous mechas and soul fighter aircrafts, they were escorted on the plane.
During the trip back, Lan Xuanyu and the others discovered that not everyone had returned. Less than two-thirds were able to board the rescue plane and return.
This discovery made everyone feel heavy. Where did those who did not board the plane go? Dead? Or something else?
No one asked more questions, but the candidates who got on the transport plane seemed very dark. Many people’s figures looked particularly sorry, damaged clothes, bloody bodies, and broken arms.
Some candidates started crying bitterly after getting on the rescue plane. For a while, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
The transport plane slowly landed in the federal military base. Everyone finally felt that they were safe.
The moment Lan Xuanyu stepped off the transport plane, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. He seemed to be calm while in command, but in fact, how could he not feel any pressure in his heart ? This was the first time he experienced something like this ! Had it not been for his trump cards, he would probably not have been able to remain calm and also panicked, especially when facing the powerful Two Headed Ape King at the end.
“Everyone gather.” Xiao Qi once again appeared in front of the candidates.
Compared with their high spirits at the beginning of the assessment, most of these candidates at this time were like stray dogs.
Looking at the candidates, Xiao Qi said solemnly: “A total of 147 persons participated in the assessment. Those who lasted until the end of the three days : 89. You must want to know where the remaining 58 went to. Some of them have died, and some were rescued by the teachers. If it was not for their help, they would also have died like the others.
