Chapter 73 Guilong Forest

Jiang Ming could only sigh and kicked the ground softly, propelling himself to land on the flying sword.

The flying sword wasn't that long and could barely accommodate two people.

It was uncomfortable and a pain to say the least. Jiang Ming really hated riding a flying sword with another person.

"This is just a warning, but you better not try anything funny when I'm controlling the flying sword. Otherwise, you will fall at least 100 meters off from the sky and onto the ground you go," Yuan Chunhua kindly warned.

"..."

Just what the hell is wrong with Yuan Chunhua?

Better not try anything funny?

Is she delusional or what? It was her that ordered him to hop onto the flying sword, and now it was also her that is implying that he has nefarious intent toward her.

"Instructor Yuan Chunhua, I admit you're beautiful for a woman, but can you stop being so narcissistic. If I really wanted to touch you, then I would have done it a long time ago when you were teaching me one-on-one." Jiang Ming said calmly.

"Who knows? Maybe you just didn't have the courage to do so back then. After all, it's the truth that you were almost beaten to death from a scandal."

"That was me being framed-"

"I know, and that's what I'm trying to inform you privately." Yuan Chunhua suddenly flashed a cold look as she turned around and stared at him.

"You might be trash in terms of cultivation training, but you were by no mean a pervert that would commit rape. During that time, I was unfortunately in my cultivation retreat, which allowed the culprit the perfect opportunity to frame you."

Jiang Ming remained silent when he realized her true motive of staying behind. She was trying to warn him to be careful of someone during the examination.

Indeed, once an instructor, always an instructor that would care for her student.

"Instructor Yuan Chunhua, I'm grateful for your help. I truly am, and I know that you care for me." Jiang Ming said sincerely.

And he continued, "I already figured out who the culprit is and I wanted to get my revenge in this year's examination."

"I understand… I will explore alone regarding the Purple Mist. I'll drop you off somewhere in the Guilong Forest." Yuan Chunhua suggested.

Alas, Jiang Ming calmly shook his head at her suggestion.

"It's fine, getting my revenge right now isn't the most important thing to do. It's the Purple Mist that we need to resolve." He said, shocking Yuan Chunhua for his sensible behavior.

Inwardly though, Jiang Ming was laughing coldly since he knew someone else would do the job for him.

Qi Shan, that demoness woman had long ventured into the Guilong Forest, waiting for the unsuspecting preys to land toward her.

Sometime later, Yuan Chunhua cleverly maneuvered her flying sword as they arrived at the entrance of the Guilong Forest.

Landing down slowly, Yuan Chunhua hopped off the flying sword and held a grave look on her expression.

"Guilong Forest… the atmosphere had turned more grim and gloomy compared to the past." She muttered.

The Guilong Forest used to be full of lush greenery, vibrant, and brimmed with a positive life force among the magical beasts.

However, the scene in front of her was nothing like before as the vibrant vibe vanished. Replacing it was a dark mood and some of the trees that were growing perfectly had dried up.

Jiang Ming also noticed the spooky scene in front of him and wondered if the academy really hated their students.

Imagine sending their own students to these kinds of places and expecting them to pass the examination?

Hell, Jiang Ming would be surprised if any of the students would even make it out alive.

"Principal Lin Jingyun really knows his stuff well. How to kill all the students but act like it's an accident." He joked aloud.

Instantly though, Yuan Chunhua held a fiery attitude as she glared at him, prompting Jiang Ming to swallow his own saliva to stop himself from making another joke.

"Nobody knew the situation had changed this drastically. I must inform the Master to warn them." Yuan Chunhua said, taking out a talisman that is used for long-range communication.

While Yuan Chunhua was busy with herself, Jiang Ming was equally occupied when he saw a new system prompt had popped up.

Ding!

<Due to the current environment of the Guilong Forest, Player Jiang Ming would now have his ability decrease>

<Corruption in the Guilong Forest: 87%>

<It is advised that Player Jiang Ming should consume a poison resistance pill to resist the poison fog emitting from the Guilong Forest>

–

Jiang Ming's expression darkened when he finished reading the system prompt.

Although it was short, the information it gave out was extremely important and could not be overlooked.

When an area is corrupted above 80%, taking a few steps inside would cause a lot of side effects.

'This Game Lord's Cultivation System is really a blessing. Normally, players would have to figure out what is the cause of the corruption and what is the best method to protect themselves.' Jiang Ming thought.

The advice that the GLCS had given him was the best hint possible.

Opening his inventory, Jiang Ming tried to see if he had some poison resistance pill.

And of course, he just happens to not have any of them because they were never needed until now.

Meanwhile, Yuan Chunhua had just finished relaying the information to Lin Jingyun.

"Jiang Ming, the Master had told us to be careful in our exploration and you must follow my instructions when we're inside." Yuan Chunhua warned, looking extremely serious.

"The dangers hidden in the Guilong Forest are unknown and we must proceed with extreme caution." She added.

Just when she was about to take her first step to enter, Jiang Ming halted her by grabbing her wrist.

"Hold up for 5 minutes." He said calmly.

Yuan Chunhua raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because my automatic refinement is about to be done," he quickly replied while focusing his attention on his inventory.
