Chapter 56 "Teacher! Can I teach you?"
Highway school.
Pei Hening and Chu Xuange emerged from the parking lot one after the other.
One of the shameless guys was still asking for a pat, but when they looked up, they saw Helian Ye with a speechless expression.
Helian Ye: "Should I not be here?"
Chu Xuange glanced at him with a hint of disdain: "At least you have some self-awareness."
Pei Hening pushed away the plaster stuck to her body, then patted his head and asked, "Xiao Ye, did you come here specifically to see us? Is there something you need?"
Chu Xuange took Pei Hening's hand with satisfaction and stood silently beside her, quietly acting as an accessory.
Helian Ye: "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Pei Hening: "Bad news."
"...Let me tell you the good news first. I got a 'Wandering City One-Day Pass' that allows me to invite four friends to join me, regardless of the region."
Helian Ye scratched his head awkwardly: "The bad news is that I don't have any money and can't afford the entrance fee for the three of us."
How much is the city entrance fee?
Helian Ye: "One gold coin per person."
In the short time it took to say those two sentences, Chu Xuange clung to her again, happily rubbing his face against hers.
"Since you've already paid for the card, Gogo and I will cover the cost."
After a brief conversation, the three went to their respective classrooms.

Floating island.
Today, Sicily is a bald doll. She didn't move to the arena, but instead left a very, very large area of land, which was covered with vines. There was only a small open space in the very center, just big enough for one person to fit in.
When Xixia saw Pei Hening come up, she said, "Your task today is to fight your way out of the center of the vines without using weapons or offensive items, and only using skills and close combat. When you get out, get out of class is over."
Xixia originally wanted to throw Pei Hening directly into the center of the vines, but hesitated for a moment and then gave her a blessing [Spring Vitality].
[Springtime Vitality] (Cesia): Receive the blessing of Lord Cecilia. Skill cooldown speed (excluding talents and time-based skills) +80%, health regeneration speed +80%, mana regeneration +80%, negative effects -80%. Blessing duration: 9 hours.
Pei Hening stared in disbelief at the blessing's effect, and the next second she was thrown into the center of the vines!
The dark green vines gave her no time to react, shooting out rapidly and aggressively wrapping around her legs, greedily coiling upwards—
Pei Hening's expression changed drastically. The moment she was entangled by the vines, she could feel intense pain, and her life points and magic points were also quietly draining away!
She decisively used the S-level skill [Hunting Moment] that she had drawn from the gym.
[Hunting Moment] (S-rank): After using this skill, the opponent's weakness can be locked within 15 minutes. Taking the initiative to attack will trigger a 3x critical hit! Consumes 20 mana points. Cooldown time: 2 hours.
Pei Hening gritted her teeth and slammed into the weak point she had locked onto during the hunt—
The vine's weak point was smashed to pieces, and its sap was splashed out!
She smashed the dark green vine, and the broken section of vine, like a fish thrown onto land, whipped her wildly!
Deep, bone-revealing gashes were left on her arms, splattering blood and sap, a bloody and bizarre sight!
No wonder Sicily gave her a blessing; it seems she was genuinely afraid she would die here!
She reached out to pull at the vines that were wrapped around her legs, but she didn't expect the vines to quickly grow sharp thorns that pierced her flesh!
As she struggled to pull the vines apart, more vines rustled towards her!
After dealing with the vines that had gotten tangled up, the thickest vine finally lashed out at her!
She dodged, sustaining numerous wounds on her body, and used her skill at the perfect moment—[Nature Belongs to Me]!
[Nature Belongs to Me] brought her back to her original state, and after her attributes doubled, she was also hit by the triple critical strike from [Hunting Time], resulting in unprecedentedly high damage!
She suddenly attacked the weak point marked by [Hunting Time]!
Her newly healed hands slammed into the spikes, tearing her skin and flesh open again!
She grabbed the vine with both hands and feet, and punched it hard in its weak spot!
"Snap—"
That wasn't the sound of vines breaking; it was the sound of her finger bones being broken by her hammer!
Pei Hening endured the excruciating pain and gritted her teeth to continue hammering—
Just as her two skills were about to cool down, she managed to break the vine!
She seamlessly used the blessing from her second skill to shorten the cooldown of [Hunting Moment]!
The broken vines twisted and entangled Pei Hening again, trying to absorb her life points and magic points to grow roots again!
At this moment, Pei Hening's healing skills [See Spring] and [Nature Belongs to Me] are still on cooldown!
Xixia kept a close eye on Pei Hening, ready to rescue him at any moment.
Pei Hening's health and mana were almost depleted, and she was unwilling to give up and wanted to recover the lost health and mana!
Health Points 20-15-7
— "Congratulations to player [DibiDibi] for mastering the S-rank skill [You really want to kill me?]"
[You really want to kill me?] (S-rank): When at a disadvantage in battle and with less than 10 HP, drain the opponent's HP and MP at a rate of 20 points per second! The excess HP and MP will be converted into attack power. Skill duration: 10 minutes. Cooldown: 15 minutes.
Pei Hening originally intended to use [Partner Dice] at the right moment, but unexpectedly she first learned a skill that could solve her predicament!
She immediately used the phrase "[You really want to kill me?]" to launch a counterattack!
The bald doll's round eyes were filled with surprise; she clearly hadn't expected the girl to grasp the skill so quickly...
After an unknown amount of time, when Pei Hening emerged from the vines, her body was covered in wounds, looking as if she had been pulled from a pool of blood.
The blessing effect of [Springtime Vitality] has disappeared, while skills such as [See Spring], [Nature Belongs to Me], and [Hunting Time] are all on cooldown.
She lay on the ground, panting heavily, tilting her head to look at the pile of vines she had smashed to pieces, not daring to relax for even a moment!
Sicily cast a healing spell on her, [Spring Breeze], which restored her injuries, health, and mana.
[Spring Breeze] (SSS): A gentle breeze blows, and all things revive. After use, it heals injuries, regenerates severed limbs, restores 100% of health and mana, consumes 100 mana, and has a 3-minute cooldown.
Pei Hening's body was covered in pitted wounds, and the two finger bones that were broken when he smashed the vines instantly healed!
She immediately turned to look at Xixia, her eyes sparkling: "Teacher! Can you teach me?"
The bald little doll thought for a moment, "Okay, I can teach you magic skills too."

At the same time, Chu Xuange is also challenging an opponent who is five times stronger than him!
The reason why Chu Xuange was being tormented by the teacher was very simple—he skipped class yesterday!
