Chapter 737: Chapter 663: Canât Control Oneself
Bamboo Rat Li stared with wide eyes, tears welling up in her gaze.
Tang Yu was unmoved.
Bamboo Rat Li flailed her teeth and claws as ghastly visions appeared around her, the fiercest scenes conjured up from the depths of the human heart.
Tang Yu remained unmoved.
Bamboo Rat Li gazed longingly at Eileen.
âŠBamboo Rat Li typed out GG.
âWhy squeak? It was clearly me first squeak, and the Illusion Performance competition was my idea squeak squeak squeak!â
Tang Yu picked up a marker and erased the word âIllusionâ from the whiteboard, replacing it with âSpellâ.
It seems Iâm the one making suggestions nowâŠ
Bamboo Rat Li hadnât expected this move and was momentarily at a loss for words.
Tang Yu went on,
âAfter all, illusions are niche and hard to project into reality, lacking expressive power, but spells are different. Magic performances are not only dazzling, creating artificial fireworks, but they also test the performerâs control power, which is one of the key assessments in the Magic Class.â
Preliminary rounds could be performance competitions, with finals shifting to a combat mode⊠naturally, this would be more about entertainment than actual combat, with the competition focusing on breaking the opponentâs magic, the grandeur of moves, and deductions for accuracy⊠If the magic sports competition gains popularity and the rules are suitable, it could become a standard recurring event.
Tang Yu thought of many events at the Olympics that clearly wouldnât fit, replacing them with competitions like âFlying Sword Speed Racingâ and âGorgeous Magic Contestâ.
Now was a good time for a trial run.
Bamboo Rat Li pouted, and Tang Yu ruffled her head, âWhatâs so bad about being a judge? When youâre upset, you can blow the whistle, listen to the tragic stories of the contestants to cheer yourself up, and occasionally share your opinions to receive thunderous applauseâŠâ
Is⊠is that so? Bamboo Rat Liâs suspicious eyes scanned his face.
Tang Yuâs expression remained unchanged as he continued, âYouâre still too young, just think carefully and you will realize, contestants only go on stage for a short while, but a judge stays on stage the entire timeâŠâ
âUh⊠Yes!â
She nodded vigorously, suddenly cheered up again.
Handled⊠Tang Yu silently praised himself, then suddenly caught Eileen looking at him with a half-smile.
As if watching a hentai tricking a young girlâŠ
Wait a second,
Bamboo Rat Li only looked young. In fact, she was of age, perfectlyâugh, he was just skillfully persuading, not deceiving!

The Floating Island was expanded with three smaller islands beyond the main island.
More than a dozen Heavenly Bridges were constructed between the islands, with rolling clouds below.
Barracks Island served as the base for the Investigation Army, Guardian Army, Fire Fierce Horse Cavalry Group, and other units, where daily training took place.
A grand array of training camps was situated on Barracks Island, with a man-made forest on one side that housed countless Mutant Beasts.
Most members of the Investigation Corps who were out on missions had returned to the Floating Island.
ââŠWith the Spring Festival approaching, you all have been granted some time off; you may stay on the island without having to undertake any missions.â
Luo Zheâs gaze swept over.
Lu Xiaopeng, Peng Bo, and others, who led various corps and had just returned from the Otherworld, stood at the front and couldnât help but smile upon hearing this.
Although the missions assigned by the Army didnât bore them, time off was etched into their souls, and nobody disliked it.
As they were about to clap, they heard Luo Zhe continue,
âSo, while you are all here on Floating Island, I and a few other instructors have decided to arrange a joint training session. This opportunity is rare; without the Spring Festival, itâs hard for all the corps to gather here on the Floating Island. Boys, cherish this training sessionâŠâ
The completely stunned Awakeners of the Army: â???â
Is our Chief Instructor a devil!?

Headquarters of the Green Shadow Adventurer Guild.
As the Spring Festival drew near, many adventure groups had completed their final quests and given themselves a break.
But during this period, the adventurer guild was still bustling.
The expansive first floor of the hall, besides the central area which was the information desk, the left and right sides had gradually evolved into cafes and teahouses, places for leisure and exchanges.
Even though the tea prices within the guild area were 50% more expensive than those at the commercial plaza, and double the price of those on ordinary streets⊠the wealthy adventurers didnât mind.
This place had the most reliable information in Green Shadow, unmatched by any other.
Sometimes, the intelligence accidentally overheard here could not be valued even with Source Crystals.
Today, few adventurers in the hall were discussing tasks. The crystal screen hanging on the wall was scrolling, displaying content with a festive atmosphere.
â Spring Festival Benefit Event!
[From January 28 to February 15 during the Spring Festival event period, the probability of winning A-tier prizes (including A-tier rune equipment, items, and books) is doubled, B-tier prizes tripled, and C-tier prizes quintupled. Additionally, thereâs a new âSpring Festival Welcome Poolâ containing dozens of prizes that can only be drawn during the event periodâŠ]
The calendar outdated since the pre-apocalypse, starting from the eruption of the Abyssal Rift, was not suited for this brand new civilization.
âS-tier item Year Beast (Puppet)! It can compete against the Transcendent Tier. I didnât expect such a rare item in the Spring Festival prize pool! The guild is really going all out!â
There were plenty of adventurers coveting the Year Beast reward⊠practically all of them, in fact.
The Year Beast wasnât the only S-tier reward; there were others like Transcendent Divine Weapons⊠but only people of the Transcendent Tier could fully utilize Divine Weapons. An Awakener holding a Divine Weapon wouldnât be able to turn the tide against a Transcendent, but the Year Beast was different, it was like ascending to heaven in a single step.
Even a Transcendent would covet a peer-tier meat shield⊠and since it was a Spring Festival limited edition, who knows, its value might double or triple in a few months â thatâs collector thinking.
âWang Wu, arenât you going to draw?â
Wang Wu, sitting with his leg propped up on the sofa, glanced at his deputy commander, âThe reason Iâm the commander and youâre just the deputy is because I know restraint. Lotteries can ruin your life; how could I possibly use my hard-earned points on them! Hmph, itâs all the guildâs conspiracy!â
âWang Wu, Chen Feng has gone up!â
Chen Feng, commander of the equally famous Divine Wind Adventure Group, approached the crystal screen. He verified his identity with a tactical wristwatch and accessed the lottery page.
â You could also connect to the adventurer guild system through a tactical wristwatch to enter the draw, but there was a saying within the guild that using the hallâs system would gather everyoneâs Qi Fortune, making it easier to strike it rich with a tenfold harvest.
âWang Wu, Chen Feng actually chose the highest option of ten consecutive draws, quite the daring move!â
One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand⊠Three different tiers represented different probabilities of winning, but during the Spring Festival event, even a hundred points for a single draw could potentially yield an S-tier item⊠Yes, beyond doubt, this was the guildâs way of giving back to the adventurers.
On the crystal screen, a nebula spun rapidly, and a dazzling light burst forth from the center of the nebula.
Green light, green light, blue light, purple light, blue light, gold lightâŠ
A hit!
That brilliant golden light immediately caught the attention of everyone in the hall, as if a layer of golden gauze rendered the entire space golden. Even adventurers from other leisure spots in the vicinity hurried over to witness the scene.
Ten consecutive draws, one S-tier item Year Beast, two pieces of top-notch A-tier equipment, talk about a jackpot!
âWang WuâŠâ
Wang Wu hesitated, the collective Qi Fortune of the hall was this effective?
Not only had the pretty boy Chen Feng gained profits, but he also gained fame, quickly overshadowing the Fiery Fire Adventure TeamâŠ
He, Wang Wu, was not convinced.
It was just ten consecutive draws!
âHere I go!â
Wang Wu strode up to the crystal screen with an imposing air and extended his tactical wristwatch to touch the screen.
He unhesitatingly chose the ten thousand points option for the draw, moving his finger to the ten consecutive draws column.
He glanced at pretty boy Chen, snorted, and pressed down hard.
âGold, gold, gold, goldâŠâ
Pretending to look composed, Wang Wu was internally extremely anxious.
Finally, a beam of light burst forth from the center of the nebula.
Green light, green light, blue light⊠green light.
Ten consecutive draws, three blues, the same number of blue-tier items as pretty boy Chen.
Wang Wu hid his slightly trembling hand, and with difficulty, he glanced at pretty boy Chen Feng, then took out a mirror to check his dark face, indifferently⊠bleeding.
Why canât I control my own hands!
