His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 224: Shui Wu Island

A month later, all the freshmen who were participating in the test were gathered in the main square of the Academy.

The Headmaster¹ appeared with the several Department Leaders and looked at the students below who fell silent in an instant with a loving expression on his face.

“This time, our Academy and other Royal Academies are conducting a comprehensive test on Shui Wu Island². All the rules will be announced to you when the time comes. This old one will take you there now.”

The Academies attached great importance to this comprehensive test, and the Department Leaders of each department personally led the teams to participate.

After Shu Jiang finished speaking, the five people behind him stood up and summoned spiritual plants. Not long after, five spatial portals appeared in place.

“Alright, now you will teleport in order. You are not allowed to run around when you arrive at the destination and must obey all the instructor’s orders, otherwise you will be directly disqualified from the test.” Shu Jiang pointed at the portal behind him and said sternly to everyone.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the spatial portal, many students revealed curious expressions.

Across the entire Continent, teleportation between each major region relied on Spatial-class Spiritual Plant Masters, who used spiritual energy to maintain the teleportation. However, only powerhouses at Spirit King level could activate the teleportation function.

After the Headmaster finished speaking, the several instructors immediately stepped forward to organise the freshmen and several old students who were selected for the individual competitions to teleport.

As soon as Yu Qing Qian stepped into the portal of the spatial-class spiritual plant, she suddenly felt as if her body became light, as if flying. There was a translucent plank path ahead of her.

Soon, her body flew up and crossed the transparent plank road, but suddenly a white light lit up ahead, then she landed on the ground.

Yu Qing Qian looked around and found that people were being teleported over constantly. She had to sigh with admiration at how magical spatial spiritual plant teleportation was.

She had the mental energy variant ability, with added spatial attributes, and the Nine-Coloured Magic Lotus had multiple attributes, but she still couldn’t achieve such teleportation. She still had to go form a contract with a real spatial-class spiritual plant.

After everyone was teleported over, the Headmaster took out a palm-sized boat and tossed it into the water.

As soon as the palm-sized boat fell into the water, its size suddenly expanded, gradually growing larger and wider, and it could accommodate hundreds of people after it fully formed.

“Board the boat now, let’s go to the island.” Shu Jiang waved to everyone, jumped onto the bow of the boat first, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Under the guidance of the instructors, others also boarded the boat and stood in order. With everyone gathered, the boat moved forward automatically.

Everyone could guess that this was a magic treasure. The hull of the ship was engraved with complex plant inscriptions. This was the main reason why the boat could become larger or smaller.

Yu Qing Qian raised her head and looked ahead, seeing a looming island surrounded by white mist in the distance on a large lake. It looked very mysterious.

The surrounding lake water was clear and exuded a trace of spiritual force, making one feel relaxed and happy.

After a while, everyone saw a large ship approach from not far away as well—clearly people from other Royal Academies had also arrived.

Yu Qing Qian felt that the lake and the island ahead weren’t simple. She turned to Huo Li Ruo who stood beside her and asked: “Do you know the origin of Shui Wu Island?”

Huo Li Ruo was the crown prince of Wen Huo Kingdom and knew a lot of secretive information.

Huo Li Ruo smiled devilishly, “I actually do know the origin of Shui Wu Island.”

Others in the team looked at Huo Li Ruo one after another. They were also curious about the origin of Shui Wu Island.

“Shui Wu Island is considered a small secret realm. It was jointly controlled and explored by the Holy Academy and Imperial Academy five years ago. It has always been very secretive before, and it’s said that there aren’t only many advanced-level magical beasts and demonic plants, but there are also advanced-level spiritual plants hidden and is a huge treasure house of resources.”

¹changed ‘Director’ to ‘Headmaster’. I don’t know why I translated it to ‘Director’, it doesn’t really suit it lol. Will edit the previous chapters to reflect this. Same with any other discrepancies so far.

²The words shuǐ wú (水芜) mean ‘water’ and ‘grassland’ respectively. Instead of grassland, it can also be used as an adjective to describe somewhere overgrown with weeds, bushy etc.
