Wuhun Xuanming Turtle? Bullshit, this is the sacred beast Xuanwu

Chapter 41 Shocked, Xu Lingxiao actually failed?
"Father, I have something to do."

After Mu Xue said something to Yan Qin, she turned around and left in a hurry.

The game is about to begin.

Mu Xue came all the way to Xu Lingxiao.

Seeing Mu Xue's figure, many students were curious.

When Mu Xue walked in front of Xu Lingxiao, more students were surprised.

This heroic and beautiful princess seems to be here for a boy?
"Xu Lingxiao, you have to work hard. I believe in you. You will definitely get a spot."

Mu Xue smiled and encouraged generously.

Such simple words stirred up waves in the hearts of those around him.

Who is this guy?
The princess came here just to encourage him?

If the city guards were here, they might not be surprised.

However, I guess the injuries on their buttocks have healed now.

"Everyone, please come on stage."

The dean announced that the competition was about to begin, and several students immediately walked onto the stage.

One person stood at his own laboratory table according to the designated position.

At this time, the dean of Tianhun Academy began to announce the rules of the competition.

"The rules of the competition are very simple. There is no time limit. All you need to do is create a semi-finished first-level soul guide formation core."

“We’ll conduct the evaluation at the end.”

After all, these students have only been exposed to soul guides for two months.

To be honest, even making a semi-finished first-level soul guide core formation is a bit too difficult.

As for the finished product's first-level core magic array?
It's totally unrealistic.

Therefore, the academy only requires the production of a semi-finished first-level soul guide core formation.

This requirement can be said to be quite high.

"Okay, let's start the game now!"

As the dean of Tianhun Academy announced the start of the competition, the students on the stage immediately began to engrave.

Everyone hopes to show their best in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

……

time flies.

The whole place was in a tense atmosphere.

Half a day later.

Someone has already made it.

The first person to complete the work was feeling quite proud of himself at this moment.

Although there is no time limit for the final competition, as long as you complete it, it's fine.

However, the shorter the time, the higher the score will naturally be.

Even if the semi-finished product is not perfect, it will still get extra points because of your speed.

In the following period, more and more people met the requirements and completed their works.

Of course, some people gave up the competition.

Even a semi-finished first-level core magic array cannot be made by everyone.

In the end, only Xu Lingxiao was left, still staying at the experimental table to continue working.

Time is still moving forward.

It was almost dusk.

"This……"

The dean and the senior members of the college looked at each other in bewilderment.

They obviously didn't understand why Xu Lingxiao took so long.

It's almost evening.

At this moment, Yan Qin was sitting on the high platform, frowning.

"Muxue, it seems he is not as powerful as you said."

"This……"

Mu Xue also frowned.

"Father, maybe... maybe it's because he's completing the first-level soul guide core formation? That's why he's a little slow..."

"Ah."

Yan Qin nodded and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty the Emperor..."

At this time, someone from the academy's senior management walked up to Yan Qin and spoke softly,
"How about you go back to the palace and rest first?"

There is no time limit for the competition.

Even if Xu Lingxiao had to stay on stage for two days, it would be in accordance with the rules.

It's impossible to let the emperor, who is so busy with state affairs, stay here alone with Xu Lingxiao, right?
"Wait a minute."

Yan Qin glanced at the sky, then his gaze fell on Xu Lingxiao. ...

Another half hour.

Xu Lingxiao was still engraving the materials in his hand.

The hand holding the carving knife was already shaking a little as it moved bit by bit on the material.

"It seems that he will not be able to succeed for a while, so he should return to the palace."

Yan Qin stood up and turned around with a calm expression.

Under the escort of everyone, he planned to return to the palace first.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

Mu Xue looked at Xu Lingxiao on the stage and couldn't help but frown.

"What took Xu Lingxiao so long?"

"Yeah, I heard half a month ago that Xu Lingxiao could create a complete first-level soul guide core formation. Why is it taking so long now?"

"Could it be that the previous rumors were false?"

The other students at the scene were also talking about it.

Xu Lingxiao’s previous deeds had spread throughout the entire Tianhun Academy.

Everyone knows that the Soul Guidance Department of Tianhun Academy has produced a genius that is rarely seen in a century.

Just looking at it now...

It seems a little different?

On the stage, Xu Lingxiao still had a carving knife in one hand and materials in the other.

However, as time went by, Xu Lingxiao's eyes became dry and his hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably.

Sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Obviously, the consumption of mental energy is enormous.

His movements no longer had the calmness they had before.

I placed the materials on the lab table and bent my body slightly to save some effort.

"What's wrong with Xu Lingxiao today? He's acting a little strange."

The instructors watched from afar, each of them with a frown on their face.

They are different from those students.

You know, as mentors, they have all seen Xu Lingxiao's outstanding performance.

If they were not allowed to go up and disturb them, they would have probably gone up to take a look long ago.

"Is this a lack of mental strength?"

"This shouldn't be the case. His previous control over the long-range soul guide was perfect."

Shi Yuan couldn't understand.
"His mental strength should be at least strong compared to his peers. Why is it taking so long to even complete a first-level soul guide core formation? And it seems like it's very difficult?"

"Could it be that this kid consumed too much mental energy before the game started, which is why he's running out of mental energy now?"

Teacher Sun couldn't help but guess.

Otherwise, it is really impossible to explain.

"Xu Lingxiao isn't that kind of person..."

Min Ran couldn't figure it out either.

He also couldn't figure out the reason.

I just keep wondering.

Why on earth?
……

Soon, it was night time.

The darkness has just fallen.

The soul guide lights on the training ground lit up with a "click".

There is still a lonely figure on the stage.

Xu Lingxiao's portrayal continues.

However, his hands were shaking even more violently than before, and he couldn't stop sweating.

Moreover, because of long-term use of eyes, tears have begun to flow from my eyes.

His mental strength has been exhausted to the extreme.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the laboratory table, which had been quiet until now and only the sound of the carving knife could be heard.

The next moment, the core magic circle in Xu Lingxiao's hand shattered directly.

This voice announced the failure of the production!

"How can this be?!"

"Xu Lingxiao, failed?"

Everyone's face was filled with shock.
