CHAPTER 382: CHAPTER 381: BORED AND ZONING OUT (SECOND UPDATE)

This is a warning that has already reached its limit; if he were to forcibly divine any further, he would suffer a divination backlash.

Xin Fu could only stop there. The more he experienced the difficulty, the more he understood how terrifying Yun Ran’s casual attempt to calculate the location was.

Stabilizing his mind, it took Xin Fu quite a while to recover. At this moment, all he felt towards Yun Ran was awe.

At this moment, he deeply realized that Yun Ran was much more formidable than he had imagined.

He glanced at the three people huddled together not far away and then at the Little Paperman who was dutifully vigilant.

Xin Fu also closed his eyes to rest. Although there were sharks nearby and people with ill intentions by his side, he felt inexplicably secure.

When Yun Ran woke up, the sky had already darkened. Even though there were stars and the moon in the sky, they were on Reef Island, which was surrounded by seawater.

Some reflections on the water surface made the situation of the few people on the small island seem somewhat pitiful.

"Lady Yun, you’ve awakened. I’ve just caught some fish and cooked them."

The resources on the island were limited, and so were the supplies each person carried. Roasting fish for Yun Ran and boiling water for her had used up a block of solid alcohol.

Others could only make do with some dry food and raw fish slices.

Looking at the fairly decent food in front of her, Yun Ran did not act politely. After soaking the dry food in water, Yun Ran finally had something warm to eat.

"Master, the tide is rising!"

It wasn’t surprising for the tide to rise at night. According to the traces on Reef Island, once the tide rose, the area of this small island would shrink by at least half.

Upon hearing this, Xin Fu instantly became vigilant: "Those sharks are probably waiting for this moment."

Indeed, all Yun Ran had to do was to release the aura of the Dragon Spirit on her, and those sharks would certainly scatter instantly.

However, Yun Ran had no intention whatsoever of taking the lead in everything.

The rising tide was swift, and the area of the Reef Island was quickly submerged by seawater. The sharks indeed seized the opportunity and swam quickly towards them.

Xin Fu had already taken out his sword, and the other three people were not idle either. They each took out their swords, and under the moonlight, stared intently at the sea surface.

Yun Ran did not even stand up but continued sitting, her hands beginning to make calculations.

They had cameras on them, all of which were the latest high-definition cameras, with night vision capabilities as well.

For Yun Ran and the others involved, the current environment was much more difficult than during the day.

But for the audience watching them behind the screens, there was no difference; they could see everything very clearly.

Although they knew that Yun Ran had many good things in her possession, seeing her relaxed demeanor at the moment still made many people feel envious and resentful.

"Good grief, she knows the tide is coming and the sharks are about to attack them, yet Yun Ran acts as if nothing is happening!"

"Look at the people on the other screens; everyone is very vigilant, only Yun Ran is like she is on a holiday. It’s really frustrating how some people can be more relaxed than others."

...

The other competitors did not immediately find all of their team members. Even if there were other people around them, not a single person dared to let their guard down.

It wasn’t just Yun Ran’s party that was targeted by the sharks; some people were even more unlucky, landing on small islands not very big.

Therefore, when the tide rose, it was not uncommon for these small islands to be overthrown by the seawater.

When the sharks attacked, these unlucky ones could only rely on small boats to float around miserably, then cooperate to defend the boat.

Fortunately for them, apart from a few who were just making up the numbers, the rest were all amongst the best of the younger generation in the Xuan Sect.

Even faced with such a situation, they weren’t panicked. Driving off these sharks wouldn’t be hard.

Had it been ordinary people in this situation, chances are, they’d have little chance of survival.

Yun Ran quickly calculated the positions of the three Magic Artifacts. Sensing that the aura of these artifacts was mediocre, she immediately lost interest.

As the first wave of shark attacks commenced, Yun Ran sat boredly on the highest rock of the small island, gazing at the moonlight with a vacant look in her eyes, mind empty, unconsciously fiddling with her fingers.

The Dragon Spirit, who had kept an eye on Yun Ran expecting her to show off, was now clearly puzzled by this scene.

Surely, with just a hint of Yun Ran’s aura, these sharks would turn tail and flee. So what exactly was Yun Ran doing now?

Admiring the moonlight? Or spacing out?

The Dragon Spirit immediately transmitted a thought to Yun Ran: [What are you doing!]

Yun Ran had been spacing out quite nicely until she was suddenly startled back to reality by the Dragon Spirit’s voice.

"Are you sick or something?"

[You could scare these sharks off with just one glance, yet you let them jump around here. This is really embarrassing for me!]

Yun Ran was speechless and wondered what was up with the Dragon Spirit. How long had it been practicing humanity to pick up this ’bad habit’ of caring so much about face!

"It’s none of your business!"

The Dragon Spirit disliked this attitude from Yun Ran most, sometimes to the point of grinding its teeth. To put it nicely, she was indifferent; to put it unkindly, this was an insufferable show of nonchalance.

[Alright, alright, do whatever you want!]

The Dragon Spirit glared hard at the still sulky-looking Yun Ran on the screen. In the future, should it catch an opportunity, it would act even more ’Buddhist’ than Yun Ran and frustrate her to the end!

After dealing with the Dragon Spirit, Yun Ran fell back into her daze.

Such a level of competition was truly boring. Compared to her initial training after descending the mountain, it was like child’s play.

Meanwhile, in the Capital City, though Xie Xuzhi wasn’t present to watch the final match of the competition, he could still watch the process in real-time. At the moment, his eyes were on the daydreaming Yun Ran.

Gu Yuan was reporting today’s events while also discreetly dealing with those who were blind to their own faults.

"You handled this well."

As Xie Xuzhi’s confidant, Gu Yuan knew upon hearing this that his boss was not planning to let off those who had crossed the line so easily, which instantly pleased him.

After hanging up the video call, Xie Xuzhi gestured, and the Little Paperman that Yun Ran had left with him immediately flew over.

"Pass a message to your Family Head; even if she’s bored, she better not make it too obvious, there are cameras on her!"

The Little Paperman nodded promptly.

None of those participating in the competition had communication devices on them.

Unless they pressed the emergency rescue device they carried, they wouldn’t be able to contact anyone outside of the reef archipelago.

[Master, Master, Director Xie says not to make it too obvious~]

Yun Ran: ...

This is really so annoying. She was just spacing out because she was bored, why does someone always have to disturb her!
