Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 490: Second Place! Drasha and Meiren.

When the judge arrived, the reptile woman who finished first straightened and waited to answer any question. "Miss, please don't hold back if you want to ask anything."

The lamia nodded. "I would even if you didn't want me to ask."

First, the lamia looked at the table and checked what items she used. Although Angel had gotten most of her attention, the lamia still didn't fail to do her work and had looked at everyone participating a few times.

She was a peak-level Ethereal Body Cultivator on the verge of a breakthrough, so her mind was extremely powerful.

After checking the tools and everything else, the lamia began evaluating the formation. She went line by line and also activated it to see the effects.

Although you would think this would take too much time for the many participants that were in her charge, the truth was that she only needed between ten to twenty seconds to make the evaluation.

The thing that slowed down her the most was not her evaluation but the speed of activation of the formations.

The woman who finished first didn't hear a question and proudly smiled and gave Angel, who had received much attention, a look full of contempt.

'Hmph, a human is just that, after all. No matter how talented.'

However, before she could continue her little rant in her head, the cold voice of the blue lamia reached her ears. "Sixty points."

The woman was stunned on the spot.

The lamia looked at her unbelieving face and snorted. "I was wondering how you finished first with the formation you were making, but after looking at it, it is clear."

"On one hand, you forgot to create not only the foundation to regulate the energy absorption but also the regenerative part so that it lasts the six months you planned for."

"On the other side, the quality of the ink is lower than the quality of the formation you chose. If I let this formation run for a day straight, it would eventually collapse. I'm giving you above fifty points because you didn't mind a challenge and opted for a peak-level Magic Ranked formation."

The woman felt her cheeks heating up. The lamia commented. "Although I have to be fair and give you points. If you were my student, you would receive a zero, and then I would force you to create one hundred formations like this one."

Then, she slithered toward the second person who finished, leaving behind the reptile woman looking down and ashamed.

Angel naturally didn't care and continued listening to the evaluations while speaking with Mirrory. 'How many points do you think I'll get?'

Mirrory was lying in the air and answered. 'If she doesn't give you one hundred points, then this competition is rigged. I've looked around, and yours is by far the best. The only one that comes close is from that man over there. He made a mid-level Earth-ranked formation.'

"79 Points. The main energy absorption sub-formation is too inefficient."

"98 Points. Finally, a perfectly done gathering formation. However, the ink is not perfectly mixed, so I can't give you one hundred points."

"91 Points. Usable. The longevity would be one or two days less from the two months than you planned."

"31 Points. The fact that I must give you points because you completed it sickens me."

"0 Points. Leave the arena before I make you leave it with a broken arm. It would be best if you retired from formation making. I wouldn't even let a human practice in your formations."

The lamia kept evaluating, maintaining a cold and indifferent tone unless the formation exceeded ninety points.

After a while, the lamia finally arrived before Angel's post.

When she saw that the next contestant was the human cutie, a natural smile appeared on her face.

"Darling, are you confident in activating it?" The lamia asked with a soft voice.

Angel nodded and smiled. "Of course!"

Without waiting for the lamia's order, Angel waved her hand and activated it.

The lamia got scared for a moment since she didn't think Angel could've created a functional formation, and it may go awry really fast because of the high level.

However, her movements stopped when she saw the lines beautifully lit up and complete the pattern.

A few runes materialized in the air as a golden, silvery ball of light appeared in the middle.

Then, everyone in the stadium felt the energy rushing toward the formation gently and continuously. Follow the latest novels at wuxiahere.com

However, when the energy entered the area, it rushed toward the center where it spewed all that wasn't Moon or Sun attribute.

"My name is Drashasharia, or for short, Drasha. You can call me like that."

"Oh, do all lamias follow this way of naming? My master also is called Seleniashas, but I call her Selena for short."

"Yes, it is a tradition. Also, your master is a lamia?"

"Yes, a very beautiful red lamia!"

"I see. What a coincidence, hahaha. I would love to meet her."

The lamia seriously thought about what Angel asked for a few minutes and finally nodded. "Yes, there are a few from the efficiency and material usage standpoint. You could have made the same formation with less precious materials and had an identical effect. For example, this [Sun Coated Rock] is redundant and only serves a purpose if the cultivator absorbs energy at mindless rates."

Angel blinked and thought. 'Well, that's exactly why I added it. Yasenia needs about ten times more energy than us to increase a level, yet absorbs energy wildly, so unless I reinforced it, Yasenia would end up damaging it.'

Even then, the lamia said a few things Angel failed to see, showing that her reputation wasn't for nothing.

Angel recognized that this lamia was highly talented and knowledgeable, making her respect for her increase.

Drasha didn't ask Angel to do extra things for the following formations. They continued the tournament as she continued getting one hundred every time.

Even then, this was a humbling yet exciting experience for Angel.

In the corner of her heart, our baby had begun to think her skills in Distancia were on the top, but now she understood that there were still people better than her, even in this backward place.

This was a huge motivation boost for our baby, who liked to compete with other formation masters.

Angel continued advancing and finally ended second between all the formation masters.

She ended second because there was another lamia with similar characteristics to the judge that completed every formation perfectly. She was Drasha's daughter.

Therefore, both had perfect scores.

However, since Angel had purposely been slower in formation-making, following the tournament rules, she ranked behind this lamia.

The young lamia was sixty-five years old, tripling Angel's age.

When she approached Angel, she smiled and spoke. "Little human, I admit you are stronger than me right now. However, I won't surrender and eventually overcome you."

Drasha laughed. "Meiren, you finally found someone above your skill level. I hope this is a wake-up call, and you stop acting so arrogantly."

"Mom! Do not embarrass me."

Drasha hugged her daughter and kissed her cheek. "You are so cute~."

Meiren was already old enough to find a partner and begin her own family, but since she had focused on formations since she was a child, she still had a young attitude.

Therefore, although her words were a bit hard, her tail coiling around Drasha and her arms hugging her didn't deceive anybody of how much daughter and mother loved each other.

Angel asked. "Big Sister Drasha, do you want to visit our Astral Sky Clan in Koran City? I can promise you won't regret it."

Drasha nodded. "I was about to go there with Meiren when this finished. Take care, cutie. Remember that if your master mistreats you, you can always come to me."

Angel nodded and didn't deny her care. "Thank you for everything, Big Sister Drasha!"

Drasha couldn't hold back and leaned forward to smooch Angel's smiling cheek, leaving a red lip mark. "Take care, darling."

Drasha saw Angel skip toward the stands, jumping up high to land in the arms of the gorgeous dragon woman she had seen before.

Angel returned with the reward for second place and a lip mark on her cheek.

Yasenia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her little baby was too likable.

Yasenia hugged her and cleaned her cheek. "You did fantastic, baby. I'm very proud of you."

Angel commented. "I heard Big Sister Drasha wants to visit our clan. You should prepare, Matriarch!"

"I heard, baby. That's why I'm saying I'm proud of you. You did great in both formations and speaking."

Angel smiled sweetly and buried her head in Yasenia's softness, sighing comfortably. 'Yup~, these are the best~.'
