Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

"This..." the teacher asked in confusion, "Why does Ling Yi want to go with Teacher Zhao?"

"Good question." Yu Yang sneered, not answering the teacher's question, but instead taking the communication stone to the side to contact someone, hoping it wasn't too late.

The others looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Yan Wuxin and Mu Shengyuan exchanged a glance, then turned to leave.

Seeing the two leave, Dongfang Jibai said to the teacher next to him, "They must be going to find Ling Yi. I'll go with them." After saying that, without waiting for the teacher's reply, Dongfang Jibai chased after the two and left.

"Second Prince..." The teacher only managed to call out once, unable to stop him at all, and could only watch helplessly as Dongfang Jibai left.

...

The cry of the Emerald Bird echoed through the blue sky. Flying beasts encountered along the way avoided it upon hearing its cry, except for one group that, upon hearing the cry of a third-tier mortal flying beast, did not retreat but advanced instead.

As the group approached, the golden bird slowed down. Zhao Wenxu, who had been sitting, stood up, looking at the approaching group with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

As the two sides drew near, someone leaped onto the back of the golden eagle and went straight to the point with Zhao Wenxu: "Teacher Zhao, where is he?"

Zhao Wenxu stepped aside, revealing Ling Yi behind him.

Ling Yi lay unconscious on the bird's back, her hands and feet bound by magical artifacts imbued with spiritual power, demonstrating how terrified they were of her escaping.

Upon seeing Ling Yi, the newcomer finally revealed a satisfied smile, looking at Zhao Wenxu and saying, "Teacher Zhao, you did a good job. Once our master kills her to avenge our young master, he will reward Teacher Zhao handsomely."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenxu smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

"We're taking him with us." After saying that, the man stepped forward to grab Ling Yi, but just as his hand was about to touch Ling Yi, he sensed a gaze, raised his eyebrows, and met Ling Yi's eyes.

The newcomer was startled and subconsciously withdrew his hand, staring intently at Ling Yi.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenxu looked over and saw Ling Yi awake, his face filled with disbelief: "How did you wake up?"

He used the Eternal Agarwood, and without an antidote, Ling Yi shouldn't have been able to wake up at all. But now that she's awake, it can only mean that Ling Yi wasn't affected in the first place!

Realizing this, Zhao Wenxu's expression changed, and he looked at Ling Yi: "You did this on purpose?"

Ling Yi slowly sat up and looked at Zhao Wenxu: "You want to take me away, I'll cooperate with you, isn't that good?"

Zhao Wenxu looked at Ling Yi like he was a madman: "What right do you have to work with me?"

Ling Yi shifted his gaze from Zhao Wenxu, glanced at the newcomers, and then focused on the group.

With a quick glance, Ling Yi got a sense of the number of people.

Three flying beasts, five people per group, a total of fifteen people. The royal family members can certainly use more than just these people, but these are the strongest among those who can be used.

Fifteen people, plus Zhao Wenxu, making sixteen, and then counting the four people we killed before, including Ji Baiyu, make exactly twenty. That's enough to unlock two skills, very good.

"Why is Teacher Zhao so angry?" Ling Yi said, using her strength to untie the magical artifacts binding her hands and feet. "I've been cooperating with you so much, why aren't you happy?"

Zhao Wenxu: 'I'm not happy at all!'

"Although you're not happy, Teacher Zhao, I'm very happy." The magical artifact on his foot broke off, and Ling Yi stood up. The artifact in his hand also broke off at that moment. Ling Yi drew his bone knife, looked at Zhao Wenxu, and smiled: "Teacher Zhao, thank you for bringing me to see these people, allowing me to...indulge in the thrill of killing!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yi attacked them like a blur.

Zhao Wenxu and the others from the team were shocked to see this, dodging Ling Yi's attacks while questioning their own existence.

Zhao Wenxu was filled with the question of how he could have escaped infection.

Before he lit the incense, he made sure that Ling Yi was in the tent. Logically, Ling Yi should have been affected!

Zhao Wenxu had no idea that Ling Yi had indeed smelled the Eternal Agarwood, but... the poison in her body was far more potent than the Eternal Agarwood. She wasn't even afraid of the poison of the Three-Headed Python, let alone such a trivial thing as the Eternal Agarwood.

The team members were suspicious of Ling Yi's situation. Why could a level three spirit general unleash strength far exceeding his cultivation level, even making Zhao Wenxu, a level four spirit master, no match for him?

Ling Yi was extremely fast and every move was deadly. Zhao Wenxu and the other man were able to cope at first, but the more they fought, the more exhausted they became. Seeing that they could not withstand Ling Yi's attacks, the other man immediately ordered the others to take action.

Fourteen other people joined the battle, surrounding Ling Yi.

Ling Yi didn't care about their encirclement at all. The mutated flames and sword light flew out with great power. Those who tried to stop him were directly blown away by the force. The flames fell and screams filled the air.

Ling Yi gave them no chance to breathe; once he seized an opportunity, he would take their lives!

As the flashes of blades continued to appear, more and more people fell. As the people in the group died, the three flying beasts they brought also plummeted to the ground.

Hearing the flying beast's mournful cry, Ling Yi merely glanced up, then flashed onto the back of the Emerald Bird.

Ling Yi raised her hand and blocked Zhao Wenxu's path with her bone knife. Ling Yi turned her head and looked at Zhao Wenxu with a smile: "Teacher Zhao, where are you going?"

Blocked, Zhao Wenxu forced himself to speak despite his fear: "Ling Yi, I am a teacher at the Imperial Academy. If you kill me, you will be punished."

"Is that so?" Ling Yi smiled, his tone nonchalant: "So be it. Compared to the fact that the people you brought didn't meet the requirements, that's nothing."

Zhao Wenxu didn't understand what Ling Yi was saying: "What do you mean?"

Ling Yi didn't answer, but called to Tian Yan: "He asked what it means."

Tianyan: [01, I know you're angry, but according to the system's requirements, out of those fifteen people, five did indeed harbor less than 30% malice towards you.]

"Heh." Ling Yi sneered, "They're about to kill me, and you're still not over thirty percent?"

Five people failed to meet the target, which means that the effective number of people, including Zhao Wenxu who is still alive, is only eleven. Adding Ji Baiyu's four people, that makes fifteen. Adding the two people left over from last time, that makes seventeen. Three people are short, and it's hard for Ling Yi not to be angry.

Tianyan: [01, they are all acting under orders. Some people see you as just a target, without any accompanying emotions. It's normal if less than 30% of them are acting in accordance with orders.]

After hearing Tianyan's explanation, Ling Yi's smile widened, but upon closer inspection, one would find that there was no smile in his dark eyes, only frost.

Without offering any explanation to Zhao Wenxu, Ling Yi slashed with the bone knife, separating Zhao Wenxu's body from his lower body at the chest.

"you!"

Zhao Wenxu stared at Ling Yi in disbelief. He hadn't expected Ling Yi to act so directly. It was too late to say anything now...

With a piercing scream from the golden eagle, Zhao Wenxu's body fell to the ground, landing in different places, his blood staining the eagle's feathers.
