Chapter 676

Trust and Maze
Translated by Crystal of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

For those with the ability, getting first place using their luck was the worst. Luck was something fleeting, even those standing at the top couldn’t understand it.

However, for those not as strong, and those who didn’t believe that they would get number one or in the top ten, this maze challenge was a pleasant surprise. It was also their only hope, if they were lucky, they might pick a road that didn’t have anyone else in it.

You XiaoMo saw a few high grade mages with their faces all scrunched up, staring at the exquisite jade maze intensely and chuckled in his heart. Unless they had an incredible computing ability, they wouldn’t be able to decipher the subtlety of the maze from just the naked eye alone. Maybe for a normal maze, but the exquisite jade Maze was specially designed by the XiaoYao Institution for the competition, it was hundreds of times harder than a normal maze.

“No wonder Shifu told me to bring a hundred and twenty percent attention to this round. exquisite jade must be the hardest maze I have ever seen.” Qiao WuXing commented, from his smile one could sense a speechlessness from it.

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo smiled, “If it’s difficult for you, it’s even more difficult for others. Look over there, someone’s face is all messed up now.”

Both Qiao WuXing and Jiu Ye turned towards the direction at the same time. Every mage that made it this far was outstanding, but also pretty old, only a few looked young. Jiu Ye’s gaze landed on Su Lang. His appearance still had an immature feel to it, from his expression one could tell that he wasn’t too old, but he had a grade two level.

You XiaoMo noticed his gaze and looked over to see that he was staring at Su Lang.

On the side, Qiao WuXing exclaimed, “He’s so young, to think he would be this strong. His future is limitless. Did he come with Yan Hui?”

“They’re under the same Shifu.” You XiaoMo explained.

“You know him?” Qiao WuXing asked.

You XiaoMo chuckled to himself, catching the eyes of the other two. They knew instantly he must have thought of something interesting. “When Ling Xiao and I first went to Dong Zhou, we met them by accident once. It was later when I realized that Yan Hui approached me with a purpose, they are also from the Black Spider. Not only that, they were likely the leader’s disciple.”

The two of them both had a look of surprise.

With an expression that just said he was up to no good, You XiaoMo continued, “He’s called Su Lang. From what I heard, he’s twenty or so years old. According to the rumors, he is the number one genius of the TongTian Continent, unmatched by anyone.”

Finally the two understood what he was gloating over. So this was a number one genius. For someone twenty or so to reach rainbow level grade two, his ability to grasp knowledge and understand them was truly unmatched, but the spot of number, that’ll have to wait.

However, the true genius was right in front of them. Their age’s were similar but grade two and grade six weren’t even comparable. If You XiaoMo didn’t exist, he might be number one, but with You XiaoMo, it was just a sad story. The three started laughing knowingly.

Opposite to them, Su Lang had long noticed their gaze. After hearing their laughter, he couldn’t help but feel agitated. If eyes could kill, You XiaoMo would have been dead already.

“Shidi, calm down!” Yan Hui said as he noticed Su Lang’s turmoilous feelings. What he didn’t expect was for Su Lang to turn around and give him an evil eye.
