The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Chu Ying was stunned for a moment, squinting her eyes and carefully staring at Jiang Yingxue's back for a while. Suddenly, she began to doubt her life: "Can books really teach so much? What kind of books are you reading? Why haven't I read them?"

"That's right, you haven't read them. They are all my father's personal collection of books." Jiang Yingxue said without hesitation.

"I see. The Loyal and Brave Marquis is truly knowledgeable and talented."

The two of them were joking all the way, when suddenly Chu Ying was not paying attention and was tripped by a huge tree root under her feet.

She fell down and was about to curse when she suddenly found that the tree roots began to move.

"Yingxue, could it be that your detoxification pill is ineffective? Why do I feel that the roots of the tree are moving? Am I dazzled?" Chu Ying asked stutteringly, feeling a little uneasy.

Jiang Yingxue pulled Chu Ying up from the ground and started running. "What tree roots? That's a Phantom Python! We haven't met Qinghe yet, so don't fight. Save your strength and run!"

The two of them ran away quickly, and the mud under their feet was softened and flew up under their rapid steps.

However, they had not been running for long when they saw a huge figure suddenly rise from the ground with a bang. It was five meters high and was heading straight for them like a mountain. The shadow instantly swallowed them up.

Chu Ying's legs faltered upon seeing this. Although she had already established her foundation, she had little combat experience. Facing such a massive beast, she simply couldn't remain calm.

"What should I do..." Chu Ying's eyes began to well up with tears. "I can't run anymore... My legs won't obey me."

"Calm down, this thing is just big, don't be afraid. I'll attract its attention, and you cast a spell to tie it up with vines."

"Okay..." Chu Ying nodded weakly.

After saying that, Jiang Yingxue drew out her sword, stepped onto a thick tree trunk beside her, and rushed straight towards the shadow python with the sword's force as fast as a rainbow.

Sensing the threat, the shadowy python swung its massive body, swiftly leaping towards Jiang Yingxue like a moving mountain. Its gaping maw revealed sharp teeth, as if it were about to devour her whole. The air was filled with a strong sense of oppression, as if even light were being devoured by that terrifying mouth.

Everyone in the observation room watched the two men fighting the Phantom Python, their hearts in their throats. But the two men didn't even call for help. Did they forget they had the Vision Tracking Orb?

"Look at me!" Jiang Yingxue shouted, trying to attract the Shadow Python's attention. She nimbly twisted her body in the air, the sword flashing in her hand, heading straight for the python's eyes.

The python followed the sound and flew towards Jiang Yingxue. At this moment, Chu Ying quickly formed a seal, and green vines quickly emerged from the ground and wrapped around the shadow python like a living thing.

Seeing that the Shadow Python was finally controlled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Ying quickly ran to Jiang Yingxue's side: "What should we do next? It feels like the snake is about to break free from the vine."

"The Shadow Python's weak point is its eyes. Unfortunately, you don't have a suitable weapon right now. Hold its head still while I kill it."

"But it's too big, I don't have enough mana..."

"That's enough! Try it first! We're running out of time!"

Chu Ying gritted her teeth and went ahead. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and silently chanted the incantation. As she chanted, the vines grew stronger, as if obeying her call, firmly binding the Shadow Python's head.

"How could it be so smooth..." Chu Ying was very puzzled. Little did she know that Jiang Yingxue had coated the inside of her vines with a layer of ice, making the Phantom Python unable to move and was bound by the vines.

The next second, Jiang Yingxue flew up and stabbed the Phantom Python's eyes with her sword. The Phantom Python's eyes were pierced by the sword light, and it let out a heart-wrenching scream. With a loud bang, its huge body finally collapsed.

"Dead...dead?" Chu Ying was not sure.

"Not yet. Come, take out the magic stone from its stomach. It'll give you extra points." Jiang Yingxue handed the sword to Chu Ying. "By the way, take out the snake gallbladder too. Senluo Qinghe seems to like eating that stuff."

When she heard about the bonus, Chu Ying quickly took the sword.

"Chi—" A crisp cutting sound was heard, and blood and internal organs flowed out. Chu Ying suppressed her nausea, frowned, and carefully reached her hand in until she touched a glowing magic stone.

"Found it!" Chu Ying couldn't help but cheering. She saw that the magic stone was crystal clear and very beautiful.

She raised the magic stone high, shook it at the chasing spirit bead in mid-air, and then asked, "By the way, Yingxue, how many points can this add?"

"I'm not sure, but with Shadow Python's strength, it should be able to score quite a few points."

Inside the examination room, Wan Jinan cheered loudly, "Did you see that? My prospective disciple, who has just established his foundation, can actually tie up a phantom python and make it unable to move. Isn't that amazing!"

The other peak masters couldn't stand Wan Jinan's smug attitude. "Can you tone it down a bit? The competition isn't over yet. Maybe after it's over, she'll come to her senses and change her mind and go to another peak."

"Yes."

Wan Jinan sniffed confidently: "Don't worry, this girl will definitely enter our first peak."

"But don't you find it strange? A cultivator who has just established his foundation shouldn't be able to use his magic power to bind the Phantom Python. Is this Phantom Python just sick?"

"I guess so, but luck is also part of strength. They deserve this point."

"A fifth-level shadow python has a score of 45 points. This is probably the highest score among all the candidates this time."

"I don't think so. Look at He Qingfeng!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to He Qingfeng, who was currently facing a rank seven earth vein lava beast in the Heart Devouring Abyss.

Upon seeing this, the heads of the various peaks froze in their tracks. "Is this guy crazy? Chu Ying has two people on her side, but he's alone! Besides, he's only just established his foundation, so his strength isn't stable yet. How dare he take on a seventh-tier monster?"

Lin Hai, the head of the Fifth Peak, immediately became anxious and stood up hastily: "No! He Qingfeng is a rare talent of mine, I can't let him be ruined by the monsters at this time!"

Wan Jinan saw Lin Hai's panic and snorted in surprise, "Do you feel the same way now? But don't panic, Old Lin. Old Jiang just said that according to the exam regulations, we are not allowed to interfere unless the candidate actively asks for help. You don't want your future disciple to lose points, do you?"

Lin Hai clenched his fists and ignored Wan Jinan. He turned to Duan Ningning and said, "Take two more people with you and go into the Heart-Eating Abyss first. If He Qingfeng calls for help, go and rescue him."

"Yes." Duan Ningning agreed immediately.
