Chapter 135: The Frightening Mirror

Chapter 135: The Frightening Mirror

After Xiao Yuemei put on the bracelet, she saw the envy on the faces of the Xuan-level Martial Academy students and felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

Of course, in front of so many people, she would not reveal her true feelings; otherwise, she would have been jumping with joy.

She said softly, "Thank you, Brother Yun!"

Then she dripped blood onto the storage bracelet. A white light flashed, and it successfully recognized its master.

Xiao Yuemei immediately placed her backpack and sword into the spatial area inside the bracelet.

"Storage bracelet, even those teachers don't have such good storage spirit artifacts, do they?"

"Yes, the smaller the storage spirit artifact, the better! Our large backpacks are the worst kind! It's said that better ones come in the form of necklaces, rings, or thumb rings."

"Qin Yun is really something, how can he just give away such things? Even to his own woman, he shouldn't be so careless, it's too enviable."

Du Gui chuckled, "Now we can set off. I hope you all return alive in a month."

The three teams walked out of the valley with full confidence, heading deep into the Yunlong Mountains.

Before leaving, Xie Wufeng, Huo Zhong, and Murong Daren also came over to see Qin Yun off...

After Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei left the valley, they ran as fast as they could.

They wanted to distance themselves from the other two teams to avoid being ambushed.

Xiao Yuemei was well aware that Qin Yun had many enemies and, being a Runes Master, possessed valuable spirit patterns, which made him a target for others. Therefore, she was worried that the other two teams might attack Qin Yun.

"Remember to erase our footprints and aura to prevent them from tracking us," Xiao Yuemei said. "Although the people from the other two teams have weaker mental power than us, they entered the Xuan-level Martial Academy earlier and started cultivating the Adamantine Bone technique much sooner. If we are surrounded by them, it will be very dangerous."

"Yuemei, your sister at the Heavenly Profound Martial Academy, does she receive different training from ordinary students?" Qin Yun asked.

"It could have been the same, but to become stronger, she chose a more brutal way of training." Xiao Yuemei stopped and began carefully erasing traces around them, showing much more caution than Qin Yun.

Qin Yun remained vigilant, watching out for any ghost beasts that might suddenly attack.

Xiao Yuemei lifted her wrist, shaking the storage bracelet, and giggled, "Is this storage bracelet really for me? Don't take it back!"

"Even if I wanted to take it back, you definitely wouldn't give it back!" Qin Yun laughed. "It's like throwing a meat bun to a dog, it only goes one way..."

"You're the puppy!" Xiao Yuemei pouted. "Let's hurry up, we're not far enough from them... By the way, Teacher Du didn't tell us how to find ghost beasts."

Qin Yun also didn't know how to find them; the last time he came in with Xie Wufeng, they didn't sense any ghost beast aura.

"Let's go deeper. Last time, the disciples of the Blue Spirit Star Palace were attacked in the depths," Qin Yun said.

They ran through the Yunlong Mountains for half a day, crossing many forests, and finally reached the deeper areas.

The trees here were even larger, some over a hundred meters tall, with some reaching two hundred meters and having trunks several dozen meters wide.

"There are so many giant trees here. This is my first time entering the depths of the Yunlong Mountains," Qin Yun said, cautiously releasing his mental power to detect any movements around them.

"If I can enter the Bone Tempering Array once, I might reach the Seventh Level of Martial Body! This time, I must win first place," Xiao Yuemei said.

Qin Yun was slightly startled. Xiao Yuemei was only fourteen years old; if she truly reached the Seventh Level of Martial Body, her talent would be as terrifying as her sister Xiao Yuelan's.

"Yuemei... if we get first place, will we enter the Bone Tempering Array together?" Qin Yun asked. "The Bone Tempering Array should open only once every certain period, right?"

"You will start your assessment in about two months, and we need a month to hunt ghost beasts here! So, after we get first place, I'll only wait for you for a month... Of course, provided you pass the assessment and enter the Star Profound Martial Academy. Otherwise, I'll have to enter the Bone Tempering Array alone."

Xiao Yuemei poked Qin Yun's waist and giggled, "I'm really worried you won't pass the assessment. I heard it's getting harder!"

"Don't worry about me, I'll definitely enter the Bone Tempering Array with you," Qin Yun said with a smirk. "Let's focus on winning this competition first, otherwise, it's all talk! We haven't encountered a single ghost beast yet!"

"It seems we have no choice!" Xiao Yuemei suddenly turned around and took out a mirror.

The mirror was only palm-sized, with a purple-gold frame and a very delicate purple-gold handle.

Xiao Yuemei held the handle and looked into the mirror, humming a tune.

"When did you get a mirror?" Qin Yun leaned in and exclaimed in surprise, "Why can I see you but not myself in the mirror? What's going on?"

"Because you're not human, you've been possessed by a malevolent ghost!" Xiao Yuemei said with a serious face.

Qin Yun was instantly alarmed, his face filled with fear, "Yuemei, is... is this true?"

"Hehehe... of course not, I was just fooling you!" Xiao Yuemei laughed uncontrollably. "Look at how scared you got!"

"Brat!" Qin Yun cursed, he had really been frightened.

Xiao Yuemei continued looking into the mirror, then frowned and stared at Qin Yun, whispering, "Qin Yun, do you have two martial souls?"

Qin Yun was startled again but kept his composure, "How could that be?"

"Liar!" Xiao Yuemei walked over and pinched his arm, "You have two martial souls, tell me the truth!"

"I'm not lying to you!" Qin Yun refused to admit it, fearing Xiao Yuemei would leak the secret.

"Are you worried I'll tell others?" Xiao Yuemei quickly guessed and smiled mysteriously, "How about we make a deal? I'll tell you about my martial soul, and you tell me about your second martial soul!"

"I don't have any second martial soul, stop imagining things," Qin Yun laughed awkwardly.

"Don't try to fool me, my mirror can sense any soul bodies around!" Xiao Yuemei raised the small mirror and huffed, "Through the mirror, I sensed three soul bodies on you. One is your own soul, what else could the other two be if not martial souls?"

Qin Yun was taken aback. Xiao Yuemei actually had such a powerful item. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, I do have two martial souls!"

"No wonder you could advance so quickly with only one spirit vein and still be so powerful!" Xiao Yuemei pinched Qin Yun again and giggled, "Did you use your second martial soul to trick Xiao Lang? I always found his loss very strange!"
