The book club is probably a popular one

Chapter 273 Being pitied

The second test is understanding.

The twelve contestants entered a palace together.

There was an identical secret book placed in every position inside. The secret book was made of ordinary paper and was not like the secret book with spirit stones that Su Baiyue had before that could be directly transmitted into the mind.

Su Baiyue, dressed as a bird-beaked doctor, stood at the back, deliberately standing beside Su Jinyu and watching.

Su Jinyu raised his eyelids and gave her a cold look.

Then he turned sideways nonchalantly to avoid her.

Su Baiyue:?

My brother is very vigilant!

Forget it, I can only wait until there is no one around and then tell him secretly.

The twelve demons randomly chose a seat to sit down and found that the secret books were all the same.

The secret book says: "Sky-Splitting Devil's Hand"

"Write it down in that quaint way?"

A one-eyed demon asked with a frown.

There was no one in the hall.

They quickly opened the notebook and found that they could only remember it by rote and practice to comprehend it.

There was no barrier between their positions. After the two demons looked at each other for a while, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the one-eyed demon.

Sure enough, not long after they sat down, the demons looked at each other.

"call out!"

"bump!"

A silver needle stabbed a witch who was reading a book!

"Kill her!"

In their eyes, only by killing another person can they continue watching naturally!

Survival of the fittest, this is the law of survival in the demon world!

The witch's reaction was also quick. She flashed away and disappeared without a trace.

In an instant, the entire palace became chaotic, and everyone was attacking each other desperately!

The air was filled with colorful attack spells.

Su Baiyue tossed the silver hammer in his hand, wondering whether he should kill them all in one go and bring his brother into the finals?

But the next second, I gave up the idea.

"Stop it all!"

"boom!"

The invisible and terrifying aura intensified instantly, and the powerful breath belonging to the Demon Lord made everyone stop.

In full view of everyone, a woman walked down. She had a charming figure and good looks, purple hair and red eyes, but what was even more powerful was her aura.

"I am the number one soldier under Lord Minghuang. My name is Ming Ling, and my strength is Demon Lord."

"Plop, plop..."

All ten demons knelt down. Such terrible pressure made it impossible for them to straighten their knees.

She alone was able to suppress all the demons with her power. Even Su Jinyu turned pale and held up the broken sword without kneeling down.

But Su Baiyue did not feel any discomfort.

She was the only one standing there, wearing a strange bird-beak mask and a black and red robe.

"You have good strength."

Ming Ling looked at Su Baiyue with approval.

She didn't expect that there would be a young demon who was so powerful.

After praising her, her gaze fell on the faces of all the demons.

"Everyone, I advise you not to fight during enlightenment. There is only so much time. If you fail to kill them, then another demon will be more enlightened than you, and you will not be able to advance to the next step."

That does make sense.

They didn't kill their opponents in the first round of melee, so if they did this during enlightenment, wouldn't it just give those demons who haven't fought yet more time to read?

Several people on the field remained exceptionally calm and did not take action.

"Okay, continue reading. We have one day left. I look forward to your performance."

Ming Ling smiled charmingly and waved her hand to take back the terrifying pressure from the Demon Lord.

The demons stood up and stopped fighting. They lowered their heads to look at the books in their hands and flipped through them every second.

Seeing this, he lowered his head and began to read the secret book frantically, and Su Baiyue also lowered his head and flipped through it.

After a while.

Give up and close it.

Sighed deeply.

I was so embarrassed. I almost forgot that I was illiterate.

At this moment, Su Baiyue even thought that he should repeat the previous plan and kill all those demons, leaving only his brother behind.

Sure enough, I still can't understand these demonic earthworm-like fonts.

All the demons were looking through the secret book, only Doctor Bird's Beak did not move, which again attracted Ming Ling's attention.

"What's wrong, this demon boy, this is not a fake secret book."

She thought Su Baiyue was doubtful.

"Ah."

Su Baiyue nodded indifferently, but in fact she really couldn't read it!

He tapped the cheat code anxiously, knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to enter the third level.

This is how to do?

Ming Ling found that the demon wearing a strange mask was sitting silently with his head down.

She came down and approached her slowly.

He smiled down at her, with a gorgeous face, very beautiful.

"In that case, why don't you read the book quickly?"

Su Baiyue was ready to throw the jar into the ground.

"To be honest, I can't read."

Ming Ling: “?!”

The entire palace was in deathly silence, and the demons on the field all stared at her in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

"Could it be that you came from the lowest level of hell?"

Ming Ling asked in disbelief.

Su Baiyue was nervous and secretly clenched the hammer.

Hidden under the bird-beak mask, her eyes were full of murderous intent. She thought she would be seen as coming from the outside world, but she didn't expect that they just thought she was from the lower class!

"..."

She knew that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she made, so she simply kept silent.

But Ming Lin began to look at her with sympathy.

"Only the lower-class demons have never learned to write."

In fact, they can only learn these fonts when they reach middle class.

And at this moment, this talented demon boy doesn't even know how to read. It is obvious that he comes from a lower class world, and then came to the palace with his own strength. He struggled all the way to be elected here!

Perhaps it touched the softest part of Ming Ling's heart, and the eyes of the Demon Lord, who had always been cold and cruel, became gentle.

She looked at Su Baiyue deeply, then waved to her.

"Then come here, I will start reading to you word by word."

Su Baiyue was dumbfounded: "Ah?"

But she casually set up a soundproof formation, picked up the secret book in her hand and began to read it to her word by word.

Her voice was so gentle that water could drip out of it, and it carried with it an unconcealable patience and tenderness.

The other demons looked at her with admiration.

"Brother, if it weren't for this test, you would be my big brother!"

"Even if you fail the test, you can consider coming to my family after we get out. We can also provide for you."

"Climbing up from that place... what a powerful demon."

.........

The ten demons all looked at her with admiration, as if she had done something remarkable.

Su Baiyue also understood.

Basically, it's like a beggar embarking on the path to becoming a strong man, and it's a purgatory level of difficulty.

So I just said this sentence, and they all looked at me with sympathy.

Not only that, they didn't seem to be jealous of her.

I accepted it very happily and admired myself.

Su Baiyue listened to the secret book and began to practice.

By the time Ming Ling finished reading the entire book, three hours had passed.

After three whole hours, Ming Ling felt a little tired.

But in the end, she closed the secret book and looked at her with a fiery gaze.

"A demon who came from the bottom has come this far. You will go even further."

"I am the Demon Lord, Ming Ling, what is your name?"

For some reason, Su Baiyue felt a chill on her back, as if... she was being spotted by a female demon!
