Law Of Creation

The three token that the students had to collect is not hard to find. The students were given a blank token. Using that token, the students could find the other three tokens.

If we were close by, the blank token would vibrate and showed the direction. After arriving at the token place, all the students had to do was touching the blank token to the token place. After that, the blank token would light a colour, and that would be the first token. And all I have to do with other token place was the same. The end result is a token with three lights.

In these few hours, Xiao Wu had run around plains area and mountain area as she was nagging at Mingyue. Xiao Wu was overworked by Mingyue because Xiao Wu was forced to run around until the night came.

[Well, it surprised me, since she could talk a lot.] Mingyue clearly surprised that the timid Xiao Wu could talk a lot.

[Indeed similar with Linlin. Isn't good with some foreign person, but once she knows you, she will be very close.] Mingyu chuckled as she missed her roommates.

"Don't worry. After we reach forest area's token, you can rest while Xiao Jing is hunting some game." Mingyue reassured Xiao Wu with telepathy. This telepathy is really useful since Mingyue could talk to both Xiao Jing and Xiao Wu at the same time. And the same thing could be done by Xiao Jing and Xiao Wu.

Hearing Mingyue's word, Xiao Wu's body relaxed a little. Xiao Wu clearly was tired from all these running around the Green Mountain.

[Well, she had been running all day, so I felt bad a little. Later I had to teach her some lightening body technique and breathing technique. The longer she could run was better.] Mingyue smiled wickedly. Xiao Jing, who watched Mingyue's wicked expression earlier, gave a pity look to Xiao Wu.

[How rude.] Mingyue rolled her eyes at Xiao Jing.

"Okay, with this our work's is done. Let's go find a place to rest." Mingyue smiled as she gained the third light on her token.

[It was much faster than what I thought.] Mingyue hummed happily.

"Can I have something more vegetarian? Even fruits would be fine." Xiao Wu bargained with Mingyue.

[Vegetarian? Maybe because she is originally a herbivore animal?] Mingyue was a little baffled by Xiao Wu's request, but she didn't deny it.

"You couldn't eat meat?" Mingyue tried to probe Xiao Wu's preference of food.

Xiao Wu shook her head and said, " It is not like that. I could eat meat, but. . . " Xiao Wu's voice became fainter at the end of her sentence as Mingyue cut her Xiao Wu's sentences.

"Stop! Try to climb that tree." Mingyue's expression hardened. She felt something foreign in her surroundings. She felt some concealed killing intent nearby.

"I couldn't !" Xiao Wu w.h.i.n.ed at Mingyue.

Since Xiao Wu couldn't, Mingyue gave Xiao Jing a peek. Understood Mingyue's intention, Xiao Jing used Shadow Step to leap between trees.

[This killing intent is not intentionally aimed at me, but rather an experienced killer that unable to completely conceal their own killing intent. In other words, the number of people he murdered is a lot. A mass murderer, a killer! Fortunately, my sense of smell is sharp.]

[But why is there a killer in the middle of the Graduation Exam?] Mingyue was puzzled by the sudden change of event.

"Xiao Wu, since you are still inexperienced, just watch and follow my direction. Okay?" Mingyue didn't explain more to Xiao Wu, but Mingyue requested Xiao Wu's absolute obedience as it was connected to their safety.

[It is too weird, it was impossible to have this kind of killing intent in the middle of this place. There were only little kids, and at most some teacher. But no teacher went inside the Green Mountain.]

[Infiltrator? Assassin?] Mingyue never stopped her speculation.

"I found them. Want to see?" Xiao Jing gave her report via telepathy.

"Show me." Mingyue replied to Xiao Jing.

This is one of the advantages of Spirit Brand, Vision Sharing. It was similar to telepathy, but it could send an image that the other party was seeing. Added with telepathy, Xiao Jing could transmit what she heard and it would become Video Transmission, the abbreviation of Visual and Audio Transmission.

A dark scene is what should be seen since it was already night. But because Xiao Jing is a cat, she could see through the dark as clear as the day.

There is a black-clothed grown man. His full body was covered with black coloured clothes. He was keeping vigilance around him.

[Thank goodness I didn't ask Xiao Wu to go over there.] Mingyue clearly satisfied with her vigilance. While Mingyue and company were observing this black-clothed man's surrounding, another black-clothed man arrived.

"Is the work done?" The first black-clothed man asked.

The second black-clothed man nodded then he added, " The item has been moved. The works were finished. The other has been informed to return. Don't stay too long in this place." After finishing his words, the second black-clothed man left immediately.

[Sigh, what kind of conspiracy was this. That person was clearly an assassin since the second black-clothed man was silent in his footstep. I couldn't afford to offend them. It was better to leave this place.] Mingyue felt that she had heard something forbidden.

"Xiao Jing, return," Mingyue told Xiao Jing to return.

". . . We don't need to kill them?" Xiao Jing asked the worst thing that Mingyue could think.

[It was not hard for her to kill those people, but I was a very weak and vulnerable position. I couldn't even run fast enough. I couldn't defend myself and had to depend on my familiar.] Mingyue wanted to lash at Xiao Jing, but she held it back. Mingyue hadn't taught Xiao Jing about the real combat and the real fight.

"No, we can't. If we are the one that was taking initiative all the time, then it would be fine. But if they are the one who takes the initiative, I would be in danger." Mingyue explained to Xiao Jing.

". . . Didn't we are the one who takes the initiative now?" Xiao Jing tried to reason with Mingyue.

[Oh my, since when did this girl become so brutish and simple-minded?] Mingyue felt speechless.

"No, we are not. We didn't know anything about them except there is one in front of you. You inexperienced little brat, listen to me. If you want to kill, be efficient. Aim their vital. If you want to kill, make sure to not leave any survivor. If you kill one in front of you, then you will alert all of them and they become the one with the initiative." Mingyue rubbed her non-existent sweat. "That's it. Return now!"

[Based on what that person talked, their mission should be finished. It was problematic. There was a possibility that these assassins would be scattered around this place since we have found two.]

"Xiao Wu, always be prepared to run with all your strength." Mingyue warned Xiao Wu since they were in a bad position. "Eat these rations. Keep your vigilance."

Suddenly, Mingyue could feel a thick killing intent behind me.

[Damn!] Mingyue cursed in her mind.

Mingyue immediately jumped on to Xiao Wu as Mingyue shouted to Xiao Wu, "RUN!"

And at the same time, a knife was stabbed at the place where Mingyue sat earlier.

…

Black-clothed Assassin Monologue.

[Tsk. This is a boring mission.] He cursed without any voice.

[The only thing I did here was only disturbing those beasts to make some noise.]

[When I was chosen to do this mission, I thought it would be assassinating some important person. Damn it! I felt like a babysitter. And all we did was stealing some stupid stone.]

[It is not the reason I joined Black Crow Palace.] He continued his nagging since there was no one nearby.

Black Crow Palace, the number one intelligence gathering and assassination organization in the Fire Kingdom. The organization had a very wide connection, even people from the Earth Kingdom and Water Association would definitely hear at least once.

And the reason for him to join this organization was to kill people as much as he wanted.

[Hm?] When he was slacking, he sensed something nearby.

[Only an animal? Better than killing nothing.] He made a choice to kill that animal at the same time he saw it.

[After I returned, I would definitely pick an assassination job alone, much better than this kind of job.]

When he was closing the distance, he saw a little girl was crouching beside that animal.

[How could I not sense this little girl?] He was surprised, but it was a pleasant surprise. Unconsciously, he smirked up. It was the same feeling as a hunter that found his prey.

[How could this little girl possibly hide her presence from me? Was it because that animal presence was covering her presence?]

[Interesting! Really interesting!!!]

[What kind of game that I should do? Hide and seek? No no no, it wouldn't be interesting to chase a little girl. Hmm, how about knife throwing? If it hit the body, one point. Head for two points, and neck for three points.] His smile grew wider and wilder. He immediately drew and threw my knife to that girl's neck at the same time.

[A beautiful throw, indeed] He made a comment about his skill. But his smile froze.

The girl moved. His knife missed its target.

Then, that girl suddenly jumped on that animal and immediately run together.

[Oh my, what a good prey.] A wide smile was formed on his face.

[You didn't want to play a knife-throwing game? Then let's play hide and seek.] As he immediately chased after the pair of little girl and animal.
