197: Chapter 197 Floating Island! Fairy Tale Forest!

Ever since they parted ways in Mist City, Lin Mo hadn't seen Luo Siyue again, even though the commotion yesterday was so massive.

It had even startled Jiang Mengxi, Captain Luo Feng, and the others.

He hadn't seen any of his other teammates either.

It was one thing for Wang Sisi and Ma Qian to be from other academies.

But it was a bit strange that he hadn't seen Luo Siyue, who was a student at Imperial Capital Academy.

Lin Mo had assumed she was away on a mission, so he hadn't expected to run into her by chance today.

Luo Siyue looked at Lin Mo, a smile appearing on her face.

She patted the head of her Onix.

Accompanied by a faint scraping sound, the Onix lowered its head.

Luo Siyue descended with it.

"Rookie King, don't tell me you don't know where the freshman assessment is being held? You're almost late."

Luo Siyue's eyes darted around mischievously. "Call me Sister, and I'll take you there."

Lin Mo chuckled. "Sister Siyue, even if you don't take me, I can still call you Sister."

"That's different. A 'Sister' that I have to ask for sounds more sincere."

"Alright then." Although Lin Mo didn't quite understand Luo Siyue's logic, he didn't plan to dwell on it.

"But Sister, I'm not actually going to the freshman assessment."

Luo Siyue was slightly taken aback. "You're not going to the freshman assessment? How is that possible? All freshmen have to take the assessment when they first enroll."

Lin Mo rubbed his nose. "It seems I'm an exception."

Luo Siyue frowned slightly. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she exclaimed.

"You're not planning to take the Star Academy assessment directly, are you?"

Lin Mo snapped his fingers. "Sister Siyue is quite sharp; you guessed it."

"No way! No way!" Luo Siyue's eyes widened. "Neither the Captain nor Xiao Xun could get that tigress from Star Academy to change her mind and allow an early assessment..."

Luo Siyue paused, then sighed with emotion, "As expected, this world always favors those with strength."

"So where are you going now? I'll take you there."

Lin Mo had been planning to ask for help since he couldn't find the location, so naturally, he wouldn't refuse now that Luo Siyue had offered.

"The Fairy Tale Forest."

Luo Siyue nodded. "It's a great way to earn points quickly, and the combat level is quite appropriate, so it's definitely a suitable choice for you."

"Get on, I'll take you there."

Luo Siyue reached out her hand to Lin Mo. Lin Mo grabbed it, and then stepped onto the head of the Onix.

This Onix was naturally massive, and even just its head was large enough for both Lin Mo and Luo Siyue to stand on.

Lin Mo suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

"Oh right, Sister Siyue, why did you call me 'Rookie King' just now?"

Luo Siyue couldn't help but giggle. "Of course, it's because you beat up everyone in our year."

"Such an arrogant rookie, isn't that the definition of a Rookie King? And it's not just our year; even the rookies in your own year are calling you that now."

"It's a pity I hadn't returned yesterday and missed such a spectacular scene."

"Otherwise, seeing you beat the living daylights out of Old Mo would have been satisfying."

Lin Mo scratched his head awkwardly. He hadn't expected that he would end up with the title of Rookie King just because he wanted to stand up for Su Youwei.

It seemed a bit too flashy.

The Onix carried them forward at high speed.

Luo Siyue couldn't resist gossiping about Lin Mo and Gu Rongyu.

Upon learning that everything was going smoothly for the two of them, a look of envy appeared on Luo Siyue's face.

"That's so nice. You two were already a perfect match, and you're in the same year."

"You'll go straight from first love to the wedding altar."

"That's really great."

"Oh, right, have you met your sister, Ruan Ruoyun?"

Lin Mo was slightly stunned, then shook his head. "Not yet. Isn't Sister Ruoyun still completing a mission?"

"No, I saw her at the academy just after I returned from the trial camp."

"I thought she was waiting at the academy specifically for you to report in."

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

He had assumed Sister Ruoyun was still on a mission and hadn't dared to disturb her. He hadn't expected that she had already returned to Imperial Capital Academy.

But if Sister Ruoyun was already back, why hadn't she contacted him?

Could it be because of the letter she wrote to him last time, making her feel a bit embarrassed?

Lin Mo decided to contact Sister Ruoyun when he had some free time to ask her clearly.

Although the Onix looked massive, its speed was not slow at all.

After just over ten minutes, Luo Siyue brought Lin Mo to this so-called Fairy Tale Forest.

This Fairy Tale Forest was also located on a floating island.

Luo Siyue had the Onix take them directly onto the floating island.

After entering the island, Lin Mo immediately saw the entrance ahead, which was sealed off by a formation.

It was clear that to truly enter the Fairy Tale Forest, one had to go through a special entrance. Everywhere else was sealed off.

Lin Mo was lost in thought.

It seemed that this place was more like a facility specifically built by Imperial Capital Academy to farm monsters, which could be used to improve students' combat experience.

"Sister Siyue, were the monsters here specifically captured by the academy?"

Luo Siyue smiled and shook her head. "Not at all. There is a very stable Abyss Portal on this island."

"The academy directly cut the space where the entire island existed and brought it back."

"Basically, all the monster zones used for trials within the academy are like this."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. Cutting an entire space and bringing it back. This was a godly method; Imperial Capital Academy truly lived up to its reputation.

Such a method must be extremely rare among all the academies.

The Onix beneath Luo Siyue quickly lowered its head. The two of them jumped off the Onix's head.

Finally, the Onix turned into a beam of red light and returned to Luo Siyue's Poké Ball.

Luo Siyue pointed ahead and said, "There, that's the entrance."

"However, every time you enter, the formation will deduct 50 points as an entrance fee."

"So you must earn at least 50 points inside, otherwise you'll be at a loss."

"I have things to do later, so I won't be accompanying you."

As Luo Siyue said this, she suddenly remembered something very important. She said to Lin Mo seriously, "Also, you must remember that there is no surveillance in the academy's monster zones, so you need to be careful of others."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. This meant that the rule at Imperial Capital Academy prohibiting private fights and restricting combat to the arena did not exist in the monster zones.

Situations like killing for treasure, just like in the wild, would also occur.

Lin Mo thought about it and understood why. In reality, it probably wouldn't be complicated to monitor the monster zones, and the reason they didn't was that no matter how talented a person was, if they never experienced life-or-death battles, they would ultimately be a flower in a greenhouse.

Therefore, the academy only required that there be no private fighting or killing in non-monster areas. Restrictions in other places were much more relaxed.

After thanking Luo Siyue, Lin Mo strode towards the entrance.
