My Special Ability Is Perfect Replication

Chapter 186 - Threatened, Wind-Sand Isolation Belt

”Euphemia Athena?”

Ling Jiu raised an eyebrow and could not help sizing up her. But with a Venom Suit on, he could not see her face.

”I heard that you were the camp beauty. What are you doing here? Are you thinking of getting revenge after being dethroned as the campʼs beauty?”

”Camp beauty? Thatʼs just flattery, words made up by a bunch of boring dudes in the camp. I, Euphemia have never taken it to heart.” Euphemia giggled. ”But I came looking for her.”

She suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ya like a ghost as soon as her voice trailed off. ”I hope you stay away from Arthur.”

”Who is Arthur?” Ling Jiu asked in puzzlement. ”We just arrived, and we donʼt know the veteran trainees in the camp all that well.”

”The one in 28th place on the scoreboard is Arthur Austin,” Euphemia said.

”I thought you were talking about a super great dude. I didnʼt expect him to just be 28th in the ranking.” Ling Jiu curled his lips in a smirk.

”You donʼt understand, rookie.” Euphemia shook her head. ”Arthur came to the matriculation camp with me in December last year. It only took him six months to reach 28th place in the standings. Itʼs a terrific result.”

”December last year?”

Ling Jiu was silenced. Twenty-eighth place was indeed not high, but if his time there was taken into consideration, then 28th place was fantastic.

Given a few more years, how far would Arthur Austin go?

Ling Jiu remembered someone in the forum said that anyone who could enter the top 100 in the standings in the first year was definitely a veritable genius. Unlike the veterans who took years to climb to the top, they were much stronger and more talented.

All in all, the standings of the matriculation camp were different from the training camp rankings. These were rankings that all previous students competed for together.

The top rankings were not necessarily more talented and more capable than the rest. Time was a factor here.

”Given time, Arthur will climb to the top of the standings, eventually,” Euphemia continued. ”I love Arthur very much. I wonʼt quarrel with him, let alone fight. What I can do is keep the targets heʼs interested in away from him. Nothing more.”

”What does it have to do with me?” Bai Ya frowned.

”Of course it has to do with you. Since you came, Arthur has become restless again. He is attracted by your beauty and has a keen interest in you.”

”So?” Bai Ya was calm.

”I hope you can stay away from him,” Euphemia said. ”I wonʼt let go of any woman who dares to approach Arthur easily. You should know that except for sabotaging the Arcana tree, the matriculation camp does not forbid fighting. Even if I kill you, the matriculation camp will not interfere.”

”Are you threatening me?” Bai Ya frowned.

”This is not a threat but advice.” Euphemia still wore a smile on her face. ”For the sake of your safety, please stay away from Arthur. Even if heʼs interested in you, it is only temporary.”

”I have only two words for you: mind yourself.” Euphemia left and disappeared after she spoke.

”Sheʼs threatening you,” Ling Jiu said slowly, but Bai Ya did not respond.

He could not help but look at her in puzzlement, only to find that this woman was picking up her shovel and starting to plant trees again.

”Youʼre being threatened. Arenʼt you angry?” Ling Jiu asked in confusion.

”Why should I be angry?” Bai Ya did not even bother to look up.

”Just pretend that I have said nothing.”

Ling Jiu continued his work of planting Arcana trees with super-high efficiency. In just one afternoon, he had planted more than a thousand Arcana trees.

A large forest then took shape.

Looking back at Bai Ya, he found that she barely planted over 40 trees. The surface of Mars looked like yellow sand, but beneath the sand was a hard layer of rocks.

Digging was very difficult.

An Arcanist like Bai Ya could still use her Arcana to keep digging. Ordinary people would find it hard to plant even ten trees in one afternoon, though.

Although Ling Jiu crushed Bai Ya in terms of efficiency, Bai Ya did not seem to show any anxiety or discouragement. She had been steady since the beginning.

Ling Jiu started to admire her for this reason. This woman was exceptionally steady; she was different from all the women he had met before in terms of temperament. He even wondered if there was anything in this world that moved her.

”Take a break, Bai Ya.”

Ling Jiu released the airship.

”All right.”

Bai Ya did not refuse this time as she entered Ling Jiuʼs airship.
