Chapter 4: Gotcha
Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhang Wei was stunned and looked at her unblinkingly.
"Zhang Wei!"
He snapped back to his senses when the people around him started calling out to him.
To think he was stunned by that piece of trash!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and waved his arm as he instructed, "Get her! Sister Wanting said, no matter what, she is not to appear at the finish line!"
"Haha, would it even be possible for this piece of trash to make it to the finish line?"
The students laughed. Although Ye Yunxi was the first-in-line heir of the Ye family, she was weak like a chick without balls. She was at the bottom of the class, and her physical fitness was worth even less of a mention. So not to speak about coming in top, wouldn't it be a miracle for her to even just appear at the finish line?
"Enough nonsense, get her!"
The students lunged forward at the indifferent young girl. She lifted her frosty gaze and locked it on Zhang Wei, lifting a leg in an outward kick!
She dealt a blow, leveraging on his momentum. Zhang Wei flew backward, and it shocked everyone. They looked at the piece of trash as they raised their guard.
"Surround her!"
"Surround? Ha. You think your grandaunt here will allow you to do that?"
Ye Yunxi sidestepped backward and, in a flash, slipped behind the man. She reached for the lasso hanging around his waist and spoke with a wicked grin, "I'mma borrow this for a sec."
As she said this, she had already withdrawn herself to launch an attack.
She couldn't gather enough force, but with the lasso and her agility, it didn't take a few moves to defeat the group, bundle them tightly together, and force them toward the trap.
Whoosh!
The ground sank below their feet. The group with dirty faces hardly had time to react when a massive pile of rocks positioned on a tree branch directly above them fell and hit them into unconsciousness.
"Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!"
"Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!"
"Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!"
"Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!"
"Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!"
A string of alerts sounded. Ye Yunxi ignored it and stared coldly, pinching her chin with her thumb and index finger. A look of realization came over her face as she studied the trap.
It turned out to be a double mechanism. This guy was pretty smart to have created such a sophisticated device.
Nevertheless, everyone was struggling toward the finish line, so why would he casually hang around and dig a trap?
Not to mention, did he really need to make it so complicated?
She subtly turned back and noted that the guy appeared peeved as he looked at the ruined trap with a frown.
His innate haughtiness made him seem cold and cruel. His eyes were bewitchingly pretty but possessed an incomprehensible icy viciousness, naturally instilling terror and fear in others.
Ye Yunxi cast her gaze down with a wicked smile. She observed his back vigilantly and slowly turned around. Then, she charged toward the tent.
The guy was in a daze but came to his senses rapidly. His body was like a precision instrument as he flew after her without a second thought!
Ye Yunxi frowned inwardly. With a forceful flick of her foot, she scooped up a bag of resources. Then, she scurried into the bushes with a twist of her body as she turned back to wave goodbye. "Thanks!"
Before the words fell, that straight and lanky figure had thrown itself into the foliage after her. His wickedly pretty face closing up, his steel-cold eyes boring into her. Ye Yunxi suddenly felt like she was being hunted by a beast. The sense of danger overwhelmed her!
"Tsk! This guy's indeed dangerous!"
Seeing that he had almost caught up to her, Ye Yunxi quickly made contact with the system, "Is there a way to quickly increase strength!"
"Yes, you can exchange 70 Awesomeness EXP for 7 strength points!"
"Do an exchange then!"
"But it will sustain for 7 minutes only!"
One strength point for just a minute?
"If it's strength raised by yourself, there wouldn't be such a loss!"
Meaning, strength exchanged with Awesomeness EXP could be expended, but strength gained through self-training was permanent?
She didn't have time to ponder further. Ye Yunxi knitted her brows and called out, "Exchange it all for strength!"
No matter what, she had to shake this guy off! He was too dangerous!
