Chapter 1139: You Can’t Do It

The venue instantly became very awkward.

Elder Ren Ran forcefully rubbed his eyes and confirmed that the lightning within the Huanshen Pearl had disappeared without a trace. Then, he looked at Chu Liuyue strangely.

Chu Liuyue innocently looked up and met his gaze.

“What happened just now?”

“…I don’t know either.”

“You don’t know? That bolt of lightning clearly came out, but it went back again. The Huanshen Pearl is in your hands, yet you don’t know?”

“…Elder, you’re very knowledgeable. You should have a better understanding of it, right?”

“…But I’ve never seen such a situation before!” Elder Ren Ran held his forehead and felt a faint headache.?I did produce this Huanshen Pearl, but Chu Yue was clearly the one being tested! At the end of the day, it’s still Chu Yue’s problem! But seeing that he looks rather confused, could it be that… he really doesn’t know what’s going on?

“Try again!” said Elder Ren Ran.

Chu Liuyue nodded lightly and tried again. This time, she used the Heavenly Dao force attained when she made an agreement with the legendary three-eyed eagle.

She held the Huanshen Pearl with both her hands. Very quickly, the same ripple was produced!

Elder Ren Ran’s heart rose as well. As long as that bolt oflightning appears for a sufficient amount of time, she’ll succeed.

In the beginning, he didn’t really care about the youngster in front of him. But now, after what he had just experienced, he faintly felt that this Chu Yue might actually have some talent.

It was really difficult for the Armory Refinement Masters to accept a student. Hence, Elder Ren Ran’s originally nonchalant attitude changed, and he was a little expectant. I hope this kid can succeed!

Crack!

A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared!

Elder Ren Ran was happy, but before he could fully extend his smile, the bolt of lightning disappeared again.

This time, it was even worse than before as only a head appeared before it quickly retreated. It didn’t even let anyone see its full body!

Looking at the empty Huanshen Pearl once again, Chu Liuyue and Elder Ren Ran fell silent for a moment.

“You…” Elder Ren Ran took a deep breath in and looked at her.

“Haha, I knew he couldn’t make it! How can it be so easy to become an Armory Refinement Master?”

“Yeah! Even if he’s a little talented as a heavenly doctor, he doesn’t need to be this arrogant, right? Does he really think that he’s an all-rounder like Senior Brother Rong Xiu?”

“He’s just a stage-seven warrior, yet he dared to challenge. His courage… is commendable.”

Discussions could be heard from behind.

They were standing relatively further away, so they couldn’t see the lightning that flashed across in the Huanshen Pearl. Due to this, they thought that Chu Liuyue couldn’t summon anything.

Their words were filled with unconcealable mockery and insults.

Even though the overall atmosphere in Ling Xiao Academy was decent, it didn’t mean that everyone was harmonious in private.

Chu Liuyue performed in a very outstanding manner at the heavenly doctor’s side earlier. Some were envious of her, and there were naturally those jealous ones.

At this moment, her behavior was akin to useless persistence to them.

“What are you talking about?!” Upon hearing this, Luo Shishi knitted her brows and turned around to scold them.

She was an elegant lady meticulously nurtured by an aristocratic family. Even though she was gentle, she didn’t need to say much when she raged as the invisible aura around her was enough to frighten others.

The students who met her gaze all kept quiet. Even if they felt indignant, Luo Shishi was still from the Luo family, and they didn’t really dare to offend her.

Besides, there were quite a few people in the Luo family, like Luo Yanlin, who was reputable in the academy. There was no need to offend them.

“Ms. Luo, there’s no need to get angry over such small matters.” Upon hearing this, Chu Liuyue turned around and smiled slightly.

Luo Shishi pressed her lips against each other. “They talked about you like that, but you—”

“Actually, they’re right. I don’t seem to have much talent in this aspect,” said

Chu Liuyue as she returned the Huanshen Pearl. Mm… I seem not to have an affinity with this item.

Actually, she wasn’t a stranger to this scene. When she was previously producing the Cloud-Sky Copper Sword, the same situation seemed to have happened… However, the situation back then was much worse and more realistic than it was now.

Even though she felt that she could forcefully grab those bolts of lightning back… she still gave up when she thought about how there were so many people watching.

Elder Ren Ran took the Huanshen Pearl and examined it carefully before shooting Chu Liuyue a complicated gaze. “What a pity… Logically speaking, you should have some talent as an Armory Refinement Master, but…

But it doesn’t seem to be enough, or there are some other problems. All in all, Chu Yue didn’t successfully trigger the lightning bolts, so he has failed the test!

Chu Liuyue didn’t seem to look disappointed or regretful as she smiled slightly.

Before leaving without reluctance, she then said, “I understand. Sorry for the trouble,’

“Hey…” Luo Shishi hurriedly followed her and carefully looked at the latter’s expression, seemingly hesitant with her words.

Chu Liuyue smiled. “Ms. Luo, if you have something to say, just say it.”

Luo Shishi was dazed for a moment. “You… We’re also considered friends now, so y-you can directly call my name…”

Ms. Luo sounded too distant and polite.

Chu Liuyue went with the flow. “Shishi.’

Luo Shishi’s lashes trembled slightly as if something soft caressed her heart.

Chu Liuyue didn’t notice it. Thinking of the earlier scene, she smiled.

“Don’t worry; I’m fine. Elder Ren Ran is right—it’s not so easy to have the right to become an Armory Refinement Master. Originally, I just wanted to give it a try and see if I had potential in this area. It would’ve been good if I did, but if ?it’s not terrible that I don’t. After all—” Her lips curved up slightly, and her eyes were filled with confidence. “I’m quite talented as a heavenly doctor.” As she spoke, she intentionally looked at the crowd around her.

The discussions about her grew increasingly quiet.

No matter how she lost, she was still the only disciple Elder Wan Zheng received in the past three years! With this point alone, she had beaten many people!

What right did they have to mock her?

Seeing that Chu Yue really didn’t seem troubled about this, Luo Shishi heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s true! Ling Xiao Academy has recruited many students all these years, but not even a hundred of them could make it onto the Armory

Refinement Master list. It’s normal if you can’t do it too!”

Chu Liuyue looked up, and her gaze landed on the name at the top of the list.

She then raised her brows slightly. “Mm, this is enough to show that the people on the list are very strong…”

Luo Shishi followed her gaze and smiled. “Yeah! How can everyone be as amazing as Senior Brother Rong Xiu?”

Chu Liuyue didn’t speak further.

At this moment, a rather familiar male voice came from afar.

“Shishi!” Seeing that his own sister was standing with that young man in a rather close manner, Luo Yanlin couldn’t help but raise his voice.. “Come over here!”
