Chapter 824: 824
Qin Sisi quickly regained her composure, realizing that overthinking wasn’t helpful, and decided instead to focus on practicing, doing her best.
Teacher Taitan’s voice calling out the lap counts for the students rang out one after another. Qin Sisi gradually started ignoring the sounds, concentrating instead on... revolving in the dirt.
It wasn’t until she heard Teacher Taitan shout loudly, "Yun Cheng has completed ten laps; he can now ride the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sisi hastily popped her head out to see how Yun Cheng did it, hoping she could learn from him soon.
But by the time she looked out, Yun Cheng had disappeared. Qin Sisi intently stared at the area inside the fence, knowing that Yun Cheng must have moved into the soil inside the fence, possibly waiting in silence for an opportunity.
Yun Cheng didn’t make Qin Sisi wait too long. Within a few minutes, she saw him suddenly leap out of the dirt and, taking advantage of a nearby Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros that wasn’t paying attention, he firmly seated himself on its back.
"Fantastic!" A loud cheer erupted.
Qin Sisi followed the voice and saw Xiao Meng, half-buried in the dirt, with both arms raised over her head, cheering for Yun Cheng.
Qin Sisi sighed, feeling somewhat melancholic. Being fed with such dog food was really bitter!
The ridden Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros felt a heavy weight descend upon its back and immediately got moody, violently shaking its body back and forth. Yun Cheng instantly felt unstable.
He didn’t force himself to stay on, as Teacher Taitan had already mentioned, ’Even a second counts as passing.’
With a light push on the back of the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros, Yun Cheng sprung into the air and landed on the open ground beside the creature.
Thinking it had thrown off the weight, the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros immediately lowered its head and charged at this unexpected guest, its hard horn as its most formidable weapon. If Yun Cheng didn’t dodge, the horn could impale him, creating a bloody mess.
Fortunately, Yun Cheng was prepared and swiftly burrowed back into the dirt, vanishing from the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros’s sight.
The next second, the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros charged at the very spot Yun Cheng had been standing, and its failure to hit its target infuriated it further. The beast grunted lowly, "moo moo," occasionally leaping as if to prevent another heavy object from landing on its back.
Under the influence of this particular Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros, the mood among the other creatures also turned somewhat restless.
Qin Sisi realized something unfavorable – the later one finished the laps. The more agitated prior riders would make the rhinoceros, therefore, mounting one would only get harder.
Thinking this, Qin Sisi immediately withdrew her head back into the dirt and continued her journey of circling within it.
Following Yun Cheng, Li Li, An Yun, Qing Pu, Wen Xuan, and others also completed the training session. Teacher Taitan dismissed them, and Qin Sisi could hear footsteps inside the fence growing heavier and more agitated.
The disparity in Magic Levels indeed existed.
Among the three asked to double their training, it was eventually Ya Ling who finished her laps. Teacher Taitan signaled that she could now enter the fence and attempt to ride the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros.
Ya Ling cautiously moved inside the fence, first peering out to assess the situation.
This method would have been very prudent at the beginning, but after several people had ridden them, the mood of the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses had significantly changed.
They kept circling, watching for any intruders, so Ya Ling was quickly discovered.
An angry Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros, puffing heavily, charged towards Ya Ling, who panicked and shrank her head back into the earth.
Having experienced that first thrilling scare, Ya Ling was even more cautious. She wanted to mount the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros unexpectedly without it noticing her, keen to avoid its extremely hard horn.
However, the more she tried to explore, the more alert the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros became. It began to circle constantly, and each time Ya Ling peeked out, she was quickly spotted, preventing her from completing her task.
During this time, Xiao Meng and Qin Sisi also took turns circling in the earth twenty times, as Teacher Taitan had also assigned them to attempt mounting the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros.
Xiao Meng looked at Ya Ling, who kept testing her approach, snorted disdainfully, and jumped out of the earth without hesitation.
A Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros immediately spotted her and charged.
Xiao Meng leaped lightly, her palm clenching and then opening as she threw out a thick and sturdy vine, which tied around the rhinoceros’s horn.
The Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros missed Xiao Meng, its horn still bound. It furiously ran and jumped, trying to break free from the vine on its horn.
Xiao Meng stabilized herself using the vine, bit down hard on her silver teeth, and leapt onto the back of the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros.
However, in the next second, she was thrown off by the furious Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros. Xiao Meng tightened her grip on the vine and leaped into the air again, finding a more spacious area to land lightly.
At the moment she landed smoothly, she withdrew the vine, a brown glow flashed on her body, and she disappeared into the soil, successfully completing her Earth Attribute Magic task for the day.
Qin Sisi was inspired by Xiao Meng’s method. Lacking the proficiency and alertness in Earth Attribute that Yun Cheng and others possessed, she too could use external help like Xiao Meng.
She seized the opportunity to leap out of the earth. Her mastery of Earth Attribute Magic was not very good and she was far from reaching the Magic Level of keeping off the dirt, so her clothes were now covered in mud, and her face was dusty.
A Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros immediately spotted Qin Sisi, lowered its head, and charged at her with its hard horn as a weapon.
Qin Sisi immediately summoned the Wings of Rainbow and flew into the air.
Then, as the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros passed beneath her, she descended and mounted its back.
The Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros bucked violently, and Qin Sisi then truly understood the terror of such a close encounter.
She quickly flapped the Wings of Rainbow and flew up, found a quieter corner to land, and then withdrew the Wings of Rainbow before diving back into the earth ahead of the rhinoceros charging towards her.
Seeing Xiao Meng and Qin Sisi surpass her later triggered both anger and unwillingness in Ya Ling; she too came up with an idea, and gritting her teeth, she jumped straight out of the earth just like Xiao Meng and Qin Sisi.
When a Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros charged at her, Ya Ling quickly raised her palms and summoned the Ice Attribute Magic Force, sending a burst of cold Ice fog towards the Unihorn Raging Rhinoceros.
Other Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses, seeing Ya Ling attacking them, also charged towards her, some more violently, while others did not move, as if waiting.
Seeing more Unihorn Raging Rhinoceroses approach, Ya Ling immediately increased the output of her magic power, her palms emitting an even colder and more violent Ice fog, quickly enveloping the charging rhinoceroses.
