chapter

The tournament had begun,

Soon as we heard the fireworks, everyone started to sprint. Pathetically, Qing tu's group stayed behind and started discussing.

Let us take it slowly and look for a place to spend the night when the three-day starter ban is lifted. We should have all that we need.

Su Rong and I will be in charge of looking for a safe place to call our territory and mapping out the Mystic bergs. The five sisters with Mara, Her Highness Letícia and her Highness Fan Ming Yue will be gathering vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

His Highness Cai, Tim, and Tristan will be in charge of making sure there is firewood.

And Ralph, Cherry, William, and Doris will protect the group badge and later on the fort with the others.

I disagree, who is going to hunt, we will need meat.? Prince Cai said.

I thought we should focus more on veggies so that later on when we require meat we can just trade. Qing tu.

I disagree, Cherry will go with us. Orchid said.

I agree, I do not want to work with someone who fakes her blindness,

Doris said.

Putting me in the same group with a bunch of losers are you looking down on me, Ralph said.

There are some caves up ahead, maybe Poppy started

There are some caves up ahead, maybe we can spend the night there.

Crown Prince CAI said.

The group headed towards the caves they had seen afar. They had been walking for about an hour when.

Orchid is there a river or any sort of water in that direction? Cherry Blossom asked.

I see none. Orchid answered.

Dimwit, this part of the forestry is dense and packed with trees.

I just don't get it is packed with trees so why haven't we come across any animal, beast, or a living animal, the trees don't seem alive.

Perhaps they're hiding or asleep or scared of my aura. Prince CAI.

Oh, children, you have to wait for this elder. Elder Fang said.

Cherry Blossom went up to Qing Tu, can I talk to you for a second?

Qing tu bent for Cherry Blossom, allowing her to directly speak in his ear. I think this is a simulation an illusion try growing something and …

Qing tu buried his hands in the earth trying to grow a flower he tried.

What are you doing?

Doris said.

Poppy, can you try growing something?

Are you that weak?

Peony mocked It just seems as if this is an array with that Qing tu shot with a flame ball of a tree and the surrounding scenery turned into smoke.

It had been an array.

Good job children you found out.

Does this mean the real test starts now? Lily said.

It does

Then the three-day starter ban was useless if one didn't it was an array.

Su Rong said.

Enough with chit-chat.

Same plan as before.

The others left to do the tasks assigned to them.

Elder Fang, I didn't understand this year's task.

The task is based on a game the sect elders used to play with the other elders ten years ago it is called Capture the flag.

There are two or more teams who have to try to steal the other team's flag. Simple but you guys are expected to build fortresses, bases and so on. Form alliances make a currency and try to run your territory. Little by little more people from outside will join your territory o has to function.

To make it more difficult you will have tasks like building a carriage at the end of each month.

There will be a competition.

Based on your progress you will be assigned a class next school year.

Is it because of the homeless crisis? Cherry asked.

Partially he said.

Homeless crisis? Little Spirit said.

Many people are orphans because of one-sided attacks and offending people from higher realms like five years ago someone offended a soldier from the middle realm. The soldiers all nine branches of his family including his close Friends.

…

Su Rong and I found a good camp sight it is big, and the trees form a circle making it a natural barrier.

It was indeed huge.

Poppy how long will it take to create a barrier made with poisonous thorns?

Around this area

This is not all.

We also found a kilometre from here hot springs and a waterfall.

Maybe three days with cherry's help.

Qing tu looked at Cherry

We will need a seed since I have never seen a poisonous plant.

We are going to collect more the groups said.

Take the rest with you to collect food. The rest left leaving cherry Blossom, Su rong, Poppy and Qing tu.

Poppy, cherry, Su Rong and I will get busy here.

Cherry, please just this once will you help us by using your Qi? Qing tu turned to Cherry and looked at her with a hopeful gaze.

You are in better control now you won't hurt anyone.

Okay but I want you guys to do the other part while making the barrier here.

They have left. Milk tea said.

They took the winged lions with them.

Cherry started to spread her Qi and vines started to grow before they were bushes. This will take a long time.

Why don't you sing for them? It will encourage them to grow. It will your qi flow more natural. Little spirit said.

What shall I sing ?

Something about meadows, shouldn't be too dark. Cherry thought about it and loosened up her usual stiffen state. The usual poker face slowly fell of revealing a childish expression.As she began to sing.

,,On green pastures lies a way.

Where green grass grows to the sway of the wind.

Louder they can't hear you. Milk tea shouted.

Sprouting from its seed.

A flower of , hope and belief.

Because on green pastures lies a way

where green grass to sways of wind.

When nature sings a song

and the wind blows along.

On a green pasture lies a way.

To brighter days.

On a meadow of belief.

Lies a shadow of envy

Not too dark milk tea pinched Cherry

I need a song where flowers bloom

and are groomed.

Think about everything you see there is so much more to it.

If you want to see the world through my eyes.

To a look and close your eyes

There is no need to cry.

I hear the howling of the wind

I feel the rays of the sun.

I see,

The darkness of the world.

I hear

the murmurs of the crowd.

It is working

…

On green pastures lies a way to brighter days.

Poppy sang.

The barrier started growing faster until it was completed.
