The bugs were assailed by the intense sunlight the moment they broke through the ground.

Being nocturnal, this made them very uncomfortable and they wiggled and fidgeted about, their mood exceptionally bad.

They sprayed acid at Feng Wu the moment they sensed her in the area.

She evaded and the acid hit the ground with a sizzling sound, eating away at the dirt and leaving a depression much like those that dotted the area.

The depressions made it seem like she was on the moon or an asteroid.

The bugs didn’t give up; they continued to bombard Feng Wu with a constant stream of acid.

She nimbly evaded the sprays while launching her own counterattacks.

Alighting on the wind she wove around the bugs before striking with her sword.

Sparks flew as her blade scraped against the shell.

It failed to pierce through and slid harmlessly across their bodies every time she tried.

The sword just wasn’t strong enough, but it was easy to use and the only sword she had on hand, so she continued to try stab the bugs with it.

Her brow wrinkled.

Just as the thought of retreating entered her mind an immense pressure came from the sky.

The pressure pressed down on the bugs so fiercely it cracked their shells and ruptured their bodies.

Accompanying the pressure was a silver sword.

It radiated white light and gave off an ancient feeling.

The sword was clearly extraordinary.

She was 100% certain the sword wasn’t in the original story, nor the earthquake for that matter.

It was a pity she couldn’t get the sword.

She could only hope that whoever got it, it wasn’t Zi Cheng.

Zi Cheng already had an insane advantage with her cheat abilities as the female protagonist! She didn’t need anymore.

How overwhelming! The girl already has so many advantages.

Any more and Ai Lin could kiss her chance of beating her goodbye.

She had to keep an eye out.

Ai Lin refused to allow the original tragedy for her character to happen.

Zi Cheng cemented her original destiny when she found the holy level magic book.

It was an incredibly powerful item and would aid her greatly.

Unsure if she would have to hand it over at the end of the assessments, she read through the entire thing, trying to cram as much of it into her brain as she could.

Even if she couldn’t understand it now, there was no harm in remembering it for the future.

The idea of handing it over was unbearable though.

It was a holy level spell book that could shake the heavens! She really wanted to hold on to it.

While she was studying it, magic energy filled the air, and something streaked across the sky.

Zi Cheng’s intuition was excellent, and her intuition was telling her that whatever it was that passed by was important.

Although her cheat system couldn’t analyze it, it told her the object had the potential to be an artifact.

An artifact was an extraordinary find.

In the end she couldn’t find it despite all her efforts.

Though disappointed she didn’t dwell too much on it.

Both her and Yifu found magical items so they were set.

She was curious about the owner of the artifact but wasn’t as hung up on it as Ai Lin.

There were so many people taking the assessments, finding out who claimed the artifact would be impossible unless the one who found it chose to share.

Ai Lin and Zi Cheng weren’t the only ones curious about the artifact’s master.

Others looking for it cursed over and over again their poor luck.

“Who actually ran faster than me?! I was at the foot of the mountain! I saw it fall and went over to look for it, but still couldn’t find it.

Who was so lucky that they got there faster than me? Who is?! Who is it?! Stand and say.

I promise not to kill you!” A person dressed as a sword usershouted loudly as he held his sword in the air.
