Chapter 204
The strange creature had the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human, resembling the centaurs of the legends . Only it had two heads — one with a malevolent and ferocious expression, while the other looked extremely kind . The one with a sinister appearance was a male, while the one with a kind appearance was a female .
“Who are you?” Lan Xuanyu blurted out .
The strange soul beast’s malevolent head produced an unpleasant “ga ga” sound . “Good and evil will ultimately have karma . We are the Good and Evil Centaur . It’s useless to struggle; there’s no meaning to it . This is our world . Even if a 100,000-year soul beast comes here, they have to move according to our rules . ”
“What are your rules?” At this moment, Lan Xuanyu had instead calmed down . After realizing that it was futile to resist, he could only face it head on .
The Good and Evil Centaur’s kind female head replied, “In here, you have to make a decision . We will come up with questions, and you have to make a choice . You will then accept the consequence of your choice . ”
The malevolent male head snickered and said, “Your luck is bad, for it is my turn to raise the questions today . My question is, if only one of you can kill, will you choose to stay alive, or choose her to stay alive . If you choose her, I will kill you . If you choose yourself to survive, I will kill her immediately . Gagaga, interesting, this is really interesting . I love to see you humans feel pain from my questions . ”
Lan Xuanyu sneered in disdain . “Why should I feel pain? This is just Soul World, a simulated world . Even if it’s death, the only regret for me is to be unable to enter Shrek Academy . Kill me, let her leave . ”
Seeing that Lan Xuanyu’s expression was without pain, the Good and Evil Centaur malevolent head became unhappy and ‘gaga’ out before continuing, “We can read your heart . You are still feeling pain within . Because if you quit, your teammates will be unable to enter that Shrek Academy of yours, am I right? Don’t you feel a bit of guilt? Just for a girl, you give up on your teammates . This is called paying more attention to a lover than your friends . You still have time to change your decision . ”
Lan Xuanyu’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly composed himself . “I am not changing my decision . Without her help, we would have long been eliminated inside the qualifiers and most probably eliminated . Furthermore, I trust in Shrek Academy’s fairness . This will not influence their decisions toward my outstanding teammates just because of me being eliminated individually . And as for myself, I have another opportunity next year . So, I choose to let her live . ”
The kind head and evil head looked at each other with shock in their eyes . The evil head then turned to Lan Xuanyu and gnarled sinisterly, “Alright, then go and die . ”
He suddenly waved his hand as a red lightning bolt descended from the sky and smashed straight into Lan Xuanyu, completely disintegrating him into dust .
The kind head waved her hands and a white light landed on Dong Qianqiu . Dong Qianqiu opened her eyes that were filled with rage .
“You heard everything he said . He chose for you to live, so he died . Now, you can make the same choice: to let him live or for you to survive . You can choose for him to live . But you have to die, and we will revive him . If you choose to live, he will be completely dead,” the kind head spoke indifferently .
Dong Qianqiu fumed, “Just kill me . Let him live . So what if I don’t get into Shrek Academy? I’ll still be me . ”
“It seems like the two of you aren’t on that good terms . ” The evil head decided to test the waters .
Dong Qianqiu looked at them coldly, “Why are you guys spouting so much nonsense? If you want to kill, just do it . ” With that, she closed her eyes .
The kind and evil head looked at each other again, the expression in their eyes slightly strange . The evil head raised his hands and a red lightning bolt descended from the sky and landed on Dong Qianqiu’s head, turning her to dust .
“What’s with the kids nowadays? One is too intelligent, the other too obstinate . ” The evil head shook his head helplessly .
The kind head giggled, “That makes it more meaningful . I don’t believe they have no desire . In the future, let me entice them with their desires . These two kids are rather interesting . Their combined technique was very powerful! The explosion was close to a six-ring standard of power . Did you record all of it?”
The evil head replied, “Alright . Anyway, I’m too lazy . You can do whatever you want . I want to sleep . But that little brat is very intelligent . I’m afraid he guessed that we were set up by the academy and even toyed with us using words . His intelligence is close to a monster . To be so cunning at such a young age, he needs more observation and experience . Let him understand what is the true dao . ”
The kind head replied, “Lazy, then go and laze . When they enter the academy, we will let them undergo another test and see how it goes . In any case, I find them rather interesting . Let me help them and create an opportunity for them . Hehehehe . When they are no longer able to stop themselves, I will find the opportunity to play with them . Hehehe . ”
The evil head fumed, “Whatever you say . Although their strengths are mediocre at best, they have good potential . Just leave it as that . ”
The simulation cabin opened . Lan Xuanyu dazed for a long time before sitting up . Many concerned pairs of eyes waited outside the cabin . It was not only Liu Feng and Qian Lei, but even Ji Hongbin, Yin Tianfan, and Mu Zhongtian were present .
“How did it go?” Qian Lei pulled Lan Xuanyu and asked anxiously .
Lan Xuanyu had a strange expression . “I don’t know . It’s really weird . The test wasn’t long, and according to common sense, it seems that I failed . But the last part was too strange, I think it might be a test on my temperament . Do you know? I encountered Dong Qianqiu inside . ”
“Ah?” Qian Lei looked at him in surprise . “How is it possible that you met her?”
Lan Xuanyu looked at the teachers before narrating about what he had encountered in the entire test .
After hearing his recount, Ji Hongbin was the first to have a relaxed expression . Yin Tianfan laughed and turned to Ji Hongbin . “I told you, this brat has a more distinct bottomline than me . If I’m not wrong, that Good and Evil Centaur at the end was not even a soul beast . It should be the teachers from the academy acting as one . You handled it well . ”
Ji Hongbin nodded his head and gave his remark, “The issue doesn’t seem too big . At the very least, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to participate in the later tests . ”
“That’s great . ” Qian Lei shouted in excitement, nudged Liu Feng, and laughed out loud . “We can head to the Mother Planet together now and head to Shrek Academy . ”
Lan Xuanyu gave a bitter laugh, “I’m still worried about it . Let’s wait until the real announcement first . ”
Mu Zhongtian spoke up immediately . “I will contact them immediately and see what Shrek has to say . ”
Ji Hongbin: “Xuanyu, you’ve received a lesson . Learn and grow from it . Remember this lesson well . Regardless of whatever situation you’re in, always be true . You can’t just rely on petty tricks . Only the truly intelligent and wise will remain open . ”
Strange, Yin Tianfan — who always enjoyed bickering with him — did not make a sound .
Lan Xuanyu nodded his head and replied earnestly, “Yes, Teacher Ji . I will remember that . I will pay attention to it going forward . ” Although he had a clear conscience, he was the one who had created the problem for himself . At the very least, he understood that emotions would cloud his judgement . Undoubtedly, although Shrek Academy’s selection was a competition, it was also a hard-to-come-by opportunity to temper oneself . All the students that had participated in the test more or less had growth because of the experience .
Mu Zhongtian quickly brought back news of what Ji Hongbin and Yin Tianfan had anticipated: Lan Xuanyu was allowed to continue participating in the following test . But, their prize lottery chance for being first was taken away . Shrek Academy did not explain why .
