Chapter 353: Legend of the Blood Moon
"What happened?"
Zhang Ji's consciousness took control of his body again, and he looked at the excited Luo Ye and the depressed and frustrated Ling Wei with a confused look on his face.
"Brother Ji, awesome." Luo Ye gave Zhang Ji a thumbs-up from a distance and quickly walked towards him. "I didn't expect you to have this skill. Did you always let me win when you couldn't beat me before? Or do I have strength above Obelisk Blue?"
"I won? How did I win?" Zhang Ji's eyes swept over his duel disk. "Purple Dante? How did I get this card? Could it be?"
Luo Ye patted Zhang Ji's shoulder and said, "Brother Ji, why are you so confused after winning the duel? Be happy."
"I just defeated the last-place student from Obelisklan. My goal is to defeat the principal, but I still have a long way to go."
Zhang Ji looked at the card in his hand and fell into deep thought: "All the powers I possess now are not my own. What is Virgil's purpose in possessing me? If he leaves me one day, will I become the useless Zhang Ji again? No, I must find a way to break free from my dependence on Virgil."
"Hey, who are you calling the worst student? I may not be ranked at the top in Obelisk Blue, but I'm still above average. I just got stuck once in a while and lost to you guys, but that doesn't mean I'm weaker than you!"
Ling Wei was extremely unconvinced and said a few stubborn words, but he didn't dare to continue to embarrass himself, so he could only call out to his followers: "What are you two standing there for? Let's go!"
"Brother, where are we going? We've already carried our luggage to the gymnasium."
Ling Wei's face turned pale again, and he said to Zhang Ji with a stiff upper lip, "Pack your things and leave quickly. Leave your tent to us."
"Hey, didn't we just say that?" Luo Ye said with a broad-minded expression, "We don't care about your Obelisklan dormitory. We'll give you the key back. Go back like a dog."
Luo Ye nudged Zhang Ji with his elbow: "After all, a man should have backbone and dignity, right, Brother Ji?"
Zhang Ji changed his mind again: "Who said we have to return the key to the Obelisk Blue dormitory to them? I beat him, which proves that I am more qualified to live there than him. Luo Ye, go pack your things."
Luo Ye almost had a mental breakdown: "Brother Ji, you said you are not the type of person who refutes others, you just deliberately listen to what I say, and then you say the opposite, right?"
"No." Zhang Ji pulled Luo Ye aside and explained, "The life teacher at the Obelisk Blue Dormitory gave me the key just now because he felt sorry for me because I jumped into the sea after being humiliated. But do I need his pity? Even beggars don't accept food given out of pity. That's why I said I'd rather live in a tent than in the dormitory over there.
Things are different now. I defeated Ling Wei fairly and even have proof. My move in was based on my own hard work, so I have to move in with confidence. After all, living in a dormitory is a million times better than living in a tent, right? Even showering requires going to a makeshift public bathhouse."
Luo Ye frowned and protested, "Then why couldn't you have said it earlier? Did you have to wait until I finished speaking before slapping me in the face?"
"Who knew you would talk so fast? It's up to you whether to move or not, I'm going anyway." Zhang Ji stopped trying to persuade Luo Ye and turned to go to his tent to pack up.
"Brother Ji, wait for me!"
The space in the tent was not big, and the valuables were stored in the storage room provided by the college. The two of them didn't pack much luggage, and happily went towards the Obelisk Blue Dormitory, leaving Ling Wei and his two younger brothers standing there doubting their lives.
"Three people, two tents, how do we divide it?"
"Of course I'll have my own tent, and you two can share one." Ling Wei continued to boss his two younger brothers around. "You two can stay in the smelly tent."
"Why? Boss, we're living here thanks to you. I see you lost to Osiris Red, so you're not that strong, are you?"
"Yes, yes, you should stay in the tent with the smell."
"I mean I'll live in a tent all by myself and let you and the boss live in that smelly tent, idiot."
"Have you two rebelled? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"Yeah, yeah, you're really rebelling? You dare to bully me and the boss? What's your strength?"
The three of them were talking back and forth, and soon they started to fight freely in all directions.
Zhang Ji pushed open the door of the Obelisk Blue Dormitory, where he had been before. When he returned, he had become the master of this place. He felt more and more that fate was like a pair of large hands, rudely pushing him towards the unpredictable future.
The layout of the Obelisk Blue Dormitory is a single bed and a triple-decker bed frame. The triple-decker bed frame was naturally moved from the Osiris Red Dormitory, and it can be regarded as Luo Ye's "dowry" when he came here.
Originally, Ling Wei's two younger brothers were also students of Obelisk Blue and had their own independent dormitories. Unfortunately, their dormitories were requisitioned to accommodate the girls from Osiris Red, so they also became refugees and lived under someone else's roof with Luo Ye.
It was late at night. Luo Ye put down his luggage and prepared to make his bed on the triple bunk bed frame. He said, "Brother Ji, it was you who fought for this dormitory. I am lucky enough to have it. You can sleep in the single bed that Ling Wei used to sleep in."
Zhang Ji shook his head: "You go sleep on the single bed. I prefer to sleep on the bed in our Osiris Red Dormitory."
Luo Ye chuckled and sat on the big bed proudly. "I knew you were going to subconsciously refute me again. Once you say something, it's hard to take it back. Don't regret it. This bed is mine."
Zhang Ji didn't feel any regret for falling for the trick. He just sat on the empty bed and muttered, "The remaining two beds will be reserved for Bai Chu and the prince. But now the lower bed is mine. Let them fight for the two upper beds, hehe."
Several weeks passed in a flash, and Bai Chu and the prince still hadn't returned. However, the weather on College Island had improved a lot, with the rain gradually decreasing and the sky beginning to clear up. Although the sea was still rough, it no longer looked like the end of the world.
Under the personal guidance of the principal Yin Jun, Zhang Ji's dueling skills and understanding of card decks have improved significantly. However, Zhang Ji once made several duel appointments with classmates in the Obelisklan dormitory, but all ended in failure without Virgil's help.
"Without Virgil's help, there is no way I can defeat the people of Obelisklan. Even so, I still want to become the principal. It's just a pipe dream!" Zhang Ji lay on the bed in frustration, thinking wildly.
"If I lose my usefulness to that old fellow Yin Jun, he will stop helping me, and all the benefits I have gained so far will be in vain."
"Brother Ji, what are you thinking about? Why are you so sad?"
"Don't bother me." Zhang Ji turned over and covered his head with the quilt.
"Brother Ji, have you heard? There will be a total lunar eclipse tonight, and the moon will turn red. It coincides with the Ghost Festival. In a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin time, today is the day with the heaviest yin energy in the year. You'd better control the flight and don't let it take off, or it will drain the yang energy."
"Go away, you think I am you."
"Oh, and don't go out today. Just stay in the dormitory. It's best to go to bed early to avoid encountering anything unnatural."
"When did you become so mystical?" Zhang Ji glanced at Luo Ye with disdain. "Those things about gods, ghosts, angels, demons, etc., are all psychological effects, illusions."
"But isn't the deck you're using a Demon-Angel one?"
"My deck ultimately belongs to me, right? I defeated Ling Wei that day. Can you say it was my deck that defeated him? It was me who defeated him. It was me, it was me!"
"I just said a few words to you casually. Why are you so excited?" Luo Ye curled his lips in confusion.
"I can't explain it to you clearly." Zhang Ji didn't want to argue and took out his e-card: "I have an appointment with someone to duel later this evening. There is no way I can waste my precious time lying on this bed."
"Hey, Brother Ji, it's okay for you to go out for a walk, but it's unlucky to duel tonight."
"Stop, I'm a materialist fighter, OK?" Zhang Ji made a gesture of silence and dialed the phone.
"Hey, bro, are you done with self-study? Let's go play cards... What? You're going to bed early tonight? Didn't we agree on that... You said tomorrow? But I meant today... Don't believe that nonsense, I'm telling you, hey, hey?"
Zhang Ji stared at the disconnected e-card with a dark expression, then looked at Luo Ye: "Will you accompany me to practice?"
"I'm not going!" Luo Ye huddled in his bed. "Brother Ji, this is no joke. Duels have been considered a sacred ritual since ancient times, and today is a special day. Legend has it that a duel today will summon spirits that don't belong to this world. I'm not going."
"Even if you don't go, I'll carry you out. Didn't you say you would support me becoming the principal? Is that just verbal support?"
"Brother Ji, I will support you again tomorrow, tomorrow."
"No, today's work must be done today." Zhang Ji pulled Luo Ye's arm and pulled him out. "Tomorrow there will be tomorrow's work."
"Brother Ji, will you die if you listen to my advice? Do we have to duel tonight?"
"I won't die, but I will miss the only chance in my life." Zhang Ji's eyes were determined: "I don't want to live the life of an ordinary person who muddles through life anymore. I want to work hard and climb up!"
In the end, Luo Ye was no match for Zhang Ji and was dragged to the beach outside the Obelisk Blue Dormitory. The sunset was fading, and the two were about to have a duel.
