Chapter 36: Stepping on Clouds (2/3)

“So Jiang Qingyu was just putting on an act earlier because he was waiting for Su Fu?” Shan Yue Hua didn’t quite understand.

Shan Yue Hua continued: “Even if Su Fu showed up, and even if all of the Seventh High came, it’d still be a lost cause.”

The gap between Ninth High and Third High was well-known.

Klaus from First High, the chosen one of the angels Michael.

Asuka Amakawa, born into the Amaterasu divine lineage, raised in a shrine since childhood.

And Zhou Tinlin- the three of them together could dominate the entire exam hall!

Su Fu and Jiang Qingyu might be strong in Ninth High, but compared to the top three from Third High, they were nothing more than small fly.

But just then, Pi Chu Xi’s brow suddenly furrowed.

Ming Yue Shuang reminded him, “Where’s Lin Mingxi? Logically, Su Fu wouldn’t leave a fragile prophet like him alone. But where is he now?”

As he pondered this, he overheard the two in the neighboring cell still spouting nonsense.

“I bet Klaus can take them both out with just one move!”

“No, no, I don’t even think Klaus needs to lift a finger!”

Excuse me, are you serious?!

If Su Fu were really that weak, how did his teammates get killed?

And how did he end up fleeing to this small prison, only to be caught and locked up?

If it weren’t for the firsthand experience of being dominated by Su Fu, he might have believed it.

“That Su Fu,” Pi Chu Xi couldn’t help but speak up, “she’s too unpredictable. Klaus and the others might actually lose to her.”

Ming Yue Shuang and Shan Yue Hua both turned to him in unison: “???”

“What nonsense are you spouting?!” Ming Yue Shuang was the first to snap.

“Have you lost your mind because of Su Fu?”

“Do you think Klaus is as useless as you?!”

Pi Chu Xi wasn’t angry.

Instead, he smiled and said, “Usually, when people talk like this, they’re just setting themselves up for failure.”

Ming Yue Shuang was momentarily speechless.

She opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t dare to continue.

Although she didn’t believe in such superstitions, it was better not to tempt fate.

Especially since they were all divine chosen ones, and they had a certain reverence for these mystical things.

Shan Yue Hua asked one question, “Klaus has even killed a guardian. What about Su Fu? Has she ever killed a guardian?”

Pi Chu Xi shook his head decisively. “No, she hasn’t.”

“Look! Lord Klaus is still stronger!”

Pi Chu Xi couldn’t be bothered to argue anymore.

He watched the live broadcast in the air with a subtle expression.

He had a strange intuition-Klaus probably couldn’t win.

As for Su Fu, it wasn’t a matter of strength.

She was just too bizarre!

Too sinister!

At this moment, Pi Chu Xi suddenly looked at the two of them thoughtfully and said,

“How about… you two come with me and make a run for it?”

Ming Yue Shuang was stunned. “What?”

“I know you need Klaus’s healing abilities, but I have them too!”

“My [Rune Power] divine skill has long been prepared with healing runes.”

This divine skill was a manifestation of Odin’s wisdom, capable of learning runes for various purposes and achieving multiple effects.

“Think about it,” Pi Chu Xi lowered his voice.

He continued, “Right now, Klaus and Su Fu are fighting in the small prison. Doesn’t that mean the big prison is empty?”

“What a great opportunity! As the saying goes, when there’s no king on the mountain, we can definitely make a name for ourselves if we go together!”

Although he had lost his teammates, if he could bring back these two top-tier powerhouses, the three of them could establish their reputation.

Taking advantage of this timing, they might even score a big win.

Ming Yue Shuang and Shan Yuehua exchanged a glance.

“No,” they said in unison.

They didn’t want to end up like Pi Chu Xi, with no strong ally to rely on.

Klaus and the others were so powerful.

Why wouldn’t they stick with them?

“You have to rely on yourself!” Pi Chu Xi persisted.

“You can’t depend on others! Su Fu is clearly here to cause chaos. It’s better to come with me…”

“Really, friends, trust me!”

The two of them focused on the live broadcast, ignoring him completely.

In the medical room.

“You have courage,” Klaus slowly raised his hand, his voice tinged with almost pitiful compassion.

“But, two against three? You don’t stand a chance.”

Before he could finish, [Judgment Holy Sword] was activated!

Pure white light condensed in mid-air, forming a massive holy sword.

Under the immense holy sword, everyone felt an invisible pressure bearing down on them.

Indeed, watching it on video was completely different from experiencing it in person.

Jiang Qingyu’s expression was grave.

It wasn’t just a suppression of strength-it felt more like a tremor from some higher-order or rule-based existence.

The holy sword seemed to be the judge, an unbreakable decree.

Every thought, every action of hers seemed to be watched and weighed by this sword.

The sword of judgment hung overhead like the Sword of Damocles, ready to deliver its verdict at any moment.

Jiang Qingyu forced herself to withstand the pressure and looked at Su Fu, who remained calm as ever.

“I’ll give you two choices,” Klaus’s voice was gentle.

“Either leave the small prison voluntarily, or… withdraw from the exam.”

Su Fu’s expression turned subtle upon hearing this.

She never expected Klaus to still cling to that pointless sense of righteousness, or perhaps morality?

Instead of ganging up on them to finish them off, he was wasting time talking about fairness in numbers.

Truly… a saint.

Su Fu smiled.

“Klaus,” she said slowly, “who told you it was two against three?”

She had always been the one to gang up on others.

How could it ever be the other way around?

Klaus was stunned.

He seemed unable to comprehend why Su Fu was still being stubborn at a time like this.

The next second, Su Fu straightened her chest and shouted with full vigor, “Warden Lord—”

“Come!”

The voice echoed through the medical room.

Klaus and the other two cautiously looked around but found nothing unusual.

Klaus: “……Are you messing with me?”

Su Fu paused for a moment, thinking, “This isn’t working? Looks like I need to pull out the big guns!”

She immediately raised her voice and shouted, “Help! The patient is trying to kill the doctor!”

“Warden No. 5! Stop pretending! I know you can hear me! You have to protect me! They’re going to kill me!”

Klaus and the other two:”……”

Damn it!

No fair!

They instantly realized why Su Fu was so confident she could actually call on the Warden for protection!

This must be the advantage of being a doctor!

Meanwhile, the Warden No. 5, who had been listening the whole time, thought this doctor was some big shot and even secretly hoped she could take down these troublesome criminals.

Warden No. 5: “…..”

Nothing more to say, just that this doctor is truly something!

Damn it, all that acting earlier was just a setup for this!

At that moment, Zhou Tinlin’s eyes flickered slightly as he received the confirmation message from the Holy Eagle.

The reply had arrived, which meant…

He curled his lips into a satisfied smile.

Rewind to one minute earlier, in the prison area, a Holy Eagle descended.

Ming Yue Shuang’s expression immediately turned serious.

She summoned her own Holy Eagle, and the moment the two met, the information exchange was complete.

“Shan Yue Hua!” She turned her head abruptly and urged, “Quick! Cast a curse on Su Fu!”

This was Zhou Tinlin’s order.

Now that both sides were in a standoff, this was the best opportunity.

Su Fu was completely unprepared!

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Shan Yue Hua’s eyes.

Without hesitation, a dark aura of death surged from his palm.

[Death Judgment] skill activated!

The chilling power of death condensed in the air, forming an invisible web of curses that rapidly spread toward the medical room.

Death Judgment—a preemptive skill that casts a death curse, weakening the enemy’s combat power!

Pi Chu Xi, who had been watching the whole scene, gasped.

“Whatttt……”

Are the top three really this sneaky?!

“You’re wasting your time; it won’t work,” Pi Chu Xi said.

“On the contrary, you’re doomed.”

“Su Fu is definitely going to hold a grudge against you!”

He didn’t finish his sentence but raised his hand and gave Shan Yue Hua a thumbs-up and said:

“You’re really something, daring to curse Su Fu like that.”

The tone sounded almost like, “Young man, you’ve got guts.”

“The last person, and the one before that, who offended her…” He paused, “are already dead.”

“Heh!” Shan Yue Hua sneered, “I can still tell who’s the real deal. Since I’ve chosen the top three, I’ll stick with them to the end! I won’t betray them!”

Pi Chu Xi, upon hearing this, raised another thumb, placing it side by side with the first, his tone pitying:

“Truly impressive… but you can’t tell the difference between a full meal and a single bite.”

“Cursing Su Fu, you’re really playing with fire!”

“Enough!” Ming Yue Shuang finally couldn’t hold back, “Can you just leave! Why do you keep praising Su Fu!”

Pi Chu Xi froze.

Wait.

Was he praising Su Fu?

Impossible!

How could he be praising Su Fu!

He was just… just…

A horrifying thought exploded in his mind.

“No, no!” He quickly denied it himself: “I’m a hater! A Su Fu hater!”

“A hater is a hater! Can’t be anything else!”

Shan Yue Hua and Ming Yue Shuang watched his expression change: “…..”

You might want to listen to what you’re saying.

Just then, Shan Yue Hua’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Found it! The curse has locked onto Su Fu…”

Before he could finish, his expression twisted.

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of blood gushed out.

His face instantly turned pale, his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground.

“Not good…” His voice was almost inaudible, “Backlash… failed… she has…”

Before he could finish, he lost consciousness.

“Shan Yue Hua!” Ming Yue Shuang panicked, rushing over, “What’s wrong with you?!”

She frantically checked him and found his vital signs rapidly declining.

“Pi Chu Xi!” She turned to the person beside her, “Help him! Didn’t you say you had healing runes?”

Pi Chu Xi sighed, raising his hand to activate [Rune Power].

The glow of the healing rune lit up, his tone complex: “I told you…”

“That woman Su Fu, she’s really toxic!”

Now look what’s happened!

In the Medical room.

Almost the moment Su Fu finished speaking, the Guardian appeared.

Su Fu was just admiring the reassuring bronze armor when the Qingling summoning array on her body activated on its own.

Azure spirit patterns flowed like water from her feet, slowly rising, eventually forming a magic circle.

Everyone was stunned, immediately on guard-what the hell is this?!

Even Su Fu herself was startled, then realized, damn it, someone had already made a sneak attack!

Her Warden hadn’t even arrived yet, who was so shameless as to strike first!

And what kind of divine skill was this?

Invisible, intangible, if the Qingling summoning array hadn’t activated on its own, she wouldn’t have even known she was hit!

This feeling… a curse-type divine skill?

She suddenly remembered, when she first arrived at the exam hall, this array had briefly lit up for a moment.

At the time, she thought it was some mechanism of the exam hall checking her, but now it seems…

Su Fu’s gaze swept over the three people opposite, finally settling on Zhou Tinlin and said to him,

“You’re really shameless!”

“A sneak attack?”

If she remembered correctly, Ming Yue Shuang, who shared the same deity Horus with Zhou Tinlin, had a teammate named Shan Yue Hua, who was the chosen one of Anubis from the Egyptian pantheon.
