Chapter 147 - Difficulty is What Makes it Interesting

Seeing her come back, the three chaperones were filled with smiles. Of course, for different reasons.

Kang Tian gave her a few words of encouragement; "Good job. You made us proud. Continue to work hard and strive to win the challenger's fight."

On the other hand, An Tongchen gave her criticism; "It was a mistake showing off your skills. Take note of that. All the participants are good."

"Yes," Lu Mingshu nodded and went back to her seat.

She understood where he was coming from. Revealing her ability now would make it harder for her to fight in the upcoming rounds since the opponents would be on guard against her, making it harder for her to win.

However, Lu Mingshu had already prepared for what was going to happen ever since she went to fight in the arenas.No pain, no gain, and this will get me to my goal.

The competition during this second day was much more interesting. Some participants were secretly taken note of.

The third day was the start of the second round. Anyone who didn't win the first round but were confident in their ability would be given a chance to fight again.

Lady Luck finally stood on Shao Zhengyang's side. His opponent in this round was just so-so, and he won the round and managed to advance to the challenger's fight.

......

In the Heavenly Wheel, Lu Mingshu picked out two strengthening seals from the wooden wheel.

The first seal allowed her to see through invisibility, while the second one increased the power of illusions.

She sighed. These two seals have preconditions in order to activate them.

For example, she could only use the first seal when her opponent became invisible. In China, most martial artists would only focus on martial arts. Invisibility was not part of martial arts, and only some remote sects would practice it. This strengthening seal was totally useless if the opponent didn't turn invisible.

For the second one, one would need to know illusion-related skills to be able to use it, and Lu Mingshu obviously didn't know any.

The challenger's fight starts tomorrow, should I use the strengthening seal? But according to those who have participated before, the competition usually lasts around five or six days, and the seal only lasts for one.

Somebody then knocked on her door.

Lu Mingshu exited the Heavenly Wheel and went to open the door.

A servant girl was standing outside. "Miss Lu." She stretched her hands out and showed a piece of jade. "Someone requests to see Miss."

......

Under the moonlight, the Flying Immortal Palace looked like a palace made out of glass – clear like crystal. Nothing more beautiful could be imagined.

However, Lu Mingshu wasn't in the mood to admire the scenery. She followed the servant girl like a zombie. After passing by many gardens, they went into a greenhouse that was filled with flowers.

"Please wait here, Miss. This one will get back to you soon."

The servant girl left, leaving Lu Mingshu alone.

Lu Mingshu scanned the surroundings. The greenhouse was built in a very special position – it was on the protruding part of the cliff, and three of its walls were part of the cliff. The roof was made out of colored glass. One could see the starry sky, the mountains, and the river from the greenhouse, and it made one feel like they were suspended in midair. The greenhouse was well-built, and it was the perfect destination for scenery viewing.
