His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 397: First Level (One)

In a secret area, the higher-ups of the Holy Academy were slightly surprised when they saw Yu Qing Qian’s leisurely and unhurried appearance.

“This little girl sure is calm and hasn’t been carried away by others.” The Purple Peak’s Honoured Chief revealed a look of admiration on his face.

The Headmaster said with a smile: “Based on this maturity and calmness alone, she’s already a step ahead of other new pupils.”

“Isn’t she worried about losing an opportunity.” The Cyan Peak’s Honoured Chief chuckled.

The cyan-clothed woman wearing a veil said: “There’s still two hours, she isn’t afraid that she won’t pass.”

Hearing the words of the cyan-clothed woman, the superiors of the Holy Academy present were all inwardly surprised. It seemed that this one had a good impression of Yu Qing Qian. She rarely spoke.

“Some people are beginning to fall into the trap.” The Yellow Peak’s Honoured Chief said with a smile.

The other’s eyes immediately turned to the suspension bridge again.

The pupils outside the Holy Land also saw what was going on inside through the crystal. They couldn’t resist twitching their lips when they saw Yu Qing Qian’s leisurely and casual appearance.

“Doesn’t it look like Yu Qing Qian doesn’t care about the challenge.”

“Yeah! She doesn’t even look like she has a bit of fighting spirit to pass the challenge. If it weren’t for the others rushing to the suspension bridge, I would’ve thought she was going to the Holy Land for sightseeing.”

“Could it be she’s afraid? Was participating in the challenge just for show?”

“No, I actually think that she’s waiting for an opportunity to make a move. She should be first observing how other people pass the challenge, so she doesn’t have to rush in blindly.”

“That actually seems possible. This Yu Qing Qian is quite calm and cunning at such a young age.”

“So what if she’s cunning, it’s not like you don’t know, based on past experiences, the pupils who lag behind usually have no hope of passing. Otherwise, the old pupils wouldn’t have rushed and worked so hard from the beginning.”

“True, Yu Qing Qian’s calmness may be counterproductive.”

“Look, someone’s fallen down.”

Yu Qing Qian and Che Tong Tong walked slowly to the suspension bridge. Right now, some of the people who had rushed onto the suspension bridge were running frantically forward, but a large number of old pupils had obviously slowed down.

Suddenly, the river water under the suspension bridge leapt up in waves, lapping at the suspension bridge menacingly. An unprepared new pupil on top was directly knocked off the bridge by the waves.

The river water kept lapping at the suspension bridge, and with it came strange fish-type magical beasts, landing on the suspension bridge together with the river water.

Each fish had a slippery body. Pupils who accidentally stepped on the strange fish would directly slip, and some were swept off the suspension bridge by the strange fish.

The strange fish blocked everyone’s way. The old pupils were practically all prepared. Although each challenge was different, but they weren’t easy and they had various preparations.

One could buy mission information in the commercial district, but there was no information about previous challenges. The Academy also stipulated that pupils who had participated in challenges before weren’t allowed to leak information, so the ones who suffered the most were the new pupils who had no prior experience.

“What are these?” A pupil suddenly got his feet entangled by a strange, slender fish and couldn’t pull it off no matter what.

Other pupils were also wrapped around their feet, hands, or entire body by the strange fish.

They tore hard, but the fish’s body was too slippery to use force. Some pupils used spiritual plant armour weapons to attack, but the skin of the strange fish seemed to be coated with a layer of something, making it almost indestructible, and even cutting them looked like it was just tickling them.

The strange fish weren’t good at attacking either. Their purpose was just to entangle all the pupils who stepped onto the suspension bridge.

Right now, many pupils revealed grim expressions. They couldn’t tear them apart nor cut them to death—this was simply too difficult to deal with.

The lapping and rushing river water subsided, and the scene on the suspension bridge was revealed to everyone—it actually looked somewhat funny.

Che Tong Tong was slightly surprised, with her mouth open, and she looked sideways at Yu Qing Qian, “Xiao Yu, you’re wise indeed, otherwise we’ll be directly entangled by those strange fish too.”
