Chapter 67: What? You’re a Man? Then All the Better!!
Ding! You have slain a Seventh-Tier, Seven-Star Ferocious Beast! Based on your realm, the Fifth Heaven of the Martial King Realm, you gain 4,000,000 points!
Your current total score is 36,840,000.
Xiao Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
“Not bad. With over thirty-six million points, second place is definitely secured!”
He smiled.
Over the past three days, he had gone on a mad hunt through the cavern, slaughtering sixth- and seventh-tier Ferocious Beasts.
He had stuffed all the beast corpses into his Storage Ring, then used his terrifying Telekinetic Force to compress them into one enormous ball of flesh.
Once he got out, he planned to refine those beasts into pills and sell them.
That should earn him a tidy sum.
As for alchemy?
Once he got out, all he had to do was find an alchemist and have a nice, friendly exchange.
“The time’s about right. I wonder whether Su Qingwu and Gu Xuan have made it out yet.”
Xiao Xuan glanced at the group chat Gu Xuan had created on his own initiative.
The chat history was filled entirely with messages from the two of them, each posting their battle results.
Su Qingwu’s was not too bad.
Every day, she posted a selfie of herself standing proudly in front of a Ferocious Beast corpse.
The only problem was that her poses were a little silly. They were all peace signs.
As for Gu Xuan, his pictures looked like blockbuster posters.
One moment it was Myriad Swords Return to the Sect, the next it was A Sword Comes from the West. He made everything look like a scene from some immortal fantasy film.
Seeing that, Xiao Xuan landed on top of the giant beast’s head.
Hum!!
A tiny fragment peeled off from his Nanotech Battle Armor and flew into the sky.
Facing the rising sun, that fragment took a photograph of Xiao Xuan standing atop the beast’s head, saber in hand.
He sent it to the group with the caption: “Have you ever seen the sun at three-thirty in the morning?”
“Holy hell, a Seventh-Tier, Seven-Star Ferocious Beast? Brother Xiao, what kind of cheat are you using?”
“That really is a Seventh-Tier, Seven-Star Ferocious Beast. Xiao Xuan, did your strength rise again?”
A few seconds later, shocked messages from Gu Xuan and Su Qingwu came through.
“The assessment ends in three minutes, and you’re still showing off? Hurry back!
We’re already outside.”
Soon afterward, Su Qingwu sent another message, this time sounding worried.
“Coming.”
After replying, Xiao Xuan casually waved his hand, compressed the beast into a huge ball of flesh, and stored it inside his Spatial Storage.
Then he looked toward the exit and bent slightly at the waist.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
At that instant, violent golden lightning burst from his body.
Rumble!!
With a peal of thunder, his figure turned into a streak of golden light and shot toward the exit at terrifying speed.
Although he had Teleportation, he still preferred covering ground with his own feet.
The feeling of countless landscapes flashing past along the way was far more satisfying than simply arriving in the blink of an eye.
Besides, Teleportation was one of the trump cards he had deliberately saved for himself. Naturally, he could not expose it casually.
Meanwhile, at the cavern exit, Su Qingwu and Gu Xuan were waiting anxiously.
One talented examinee after another arrived and left through the exit.
And by now, nine out of every ten surviving examinees had already gone out. Only a very small number had yet to arrive.
“There’s only one minute left. Can Xiao Xuan really make it? The location tag on his photo shows he’s more than a thousand kilometers away from us!”
Su Qingwu was getting anxious.
“A little over a thousand kilometers in three minutes really does sound impossible. But is not creating miracles exactly what Brother Xiao is best at?”
Gu Xuan smiled faintly, sounding far more relaxed.
At that moment, he wore a flowing white robe. Together with his still breathtaking features, which were gradually becoming more masculine again, he looked like some heroic immortal beauty.
Standing beside the equally beautiful Su Qingwu, the two of them drew no end of attention.
“You two junior schoolmates, are you not leaving yet? The assessment is about to end. Or are you worried your points are not enough?”
At that moment, a bright, open voice rang out.
A young man in scarlet battle armor landed before Su Qingwu and Gu Xuan with a smile.
He was fairly handsome.
Combined with the black greatsword on his back and his crimson armor, he naturally gave off a powerful sense of pressure.
“We’re waiting for someone.”
Su Qingwu explained casually.
“What, our points are not enough? Can you give us some of yours?”
Gu Xuan merely glanced at the young man and replied coldly.
The young man immediately looked awkward.
“The rules do not allow that, so there is nothing I can do. But I do have another compromise.”
Let me introduce myself. My name is Situ Ouyang.
My father is Situ Xuan, the Grand Fire Archmage of Magic Capital University.
That places him at a level equivalent to a Martial Thearch. If the two of you are willing, then all it would take is one word from me to my father, and you could enter Magic Capital University without even taking the exam.
Magic Capital University may not compare with Imperial Capital University, but it is still one of the ten strongest universities outside of it.
“Of course, this schoolmate here would only need to pay a very small price in return. Say... go on a date with me. Or share a meal with me.”
Situ Ouyang looked at Gu Xuan as he spoke, his tone full of temptation.
This trick had never once failed him. In this era, so long as the woman he fancied was not from one of the top great clans, the moment he revealed his background, she would practically throw herself at him.
“Sorry. I am not interested in you.”
Su Qingwu answered directly.
“Do not misunderstand. I am not interested in you. I was talking about this schoolmate here.”
Situ Ouyang completely ignored Su Qingwu and looked straight at Gu Xuan.
Su Qingwu was speechless.
Wonderful. She could not even compare to a man.
“A Martial Thearch? Then why is the Martial Thearch’s son this weak? Weak enough that he could not even get into Imperial Capital University? A piece of trash who could not get into Imperial Capital University still has the nerve to come out and chase girls?”
After hearing that, Gu Xuan looked at Situ Ouyang with utter disdain.
Situ Ouyang’s face stiffened instantly.
“My father is the Head of the Magic Department at Magic Capital University, and one of its three Vice Presidents! If I develop at Magic Capital University, then naturally my prospects will be better there, and I will have more resources! It is not that I did not want to go to Imperial Capital University!”
Situ Ouyang forced out an explanation with a dark expression.
Naturally, it was a lie.
The other ten great universities might be excellent, and his father might be one of their vice presidents, but compared with Imperial Capital University, they were still not on the same level.
As the saying went, in letters there might be many contenders, but in martial prowess there could only be one.
The same held true for universities.
Academic universities each had their own strengths, but among martial universities there was only one true number one.
That was Imperial Capital University.
The students Imperial Capital University did not want were sent down to the Ten Great Universities. The students the Ten Great Universities did not want were sent down to the other schools.
“Hah. Then what are you doing here now? Sightseeing?”
Unfortunately, Gu Xuan punctured his flimsy lie at once.
Situ Ouyang’s face turned cold instantly.
“You filthy bitch, you’re courting death! Kneel down and lick my boots, and I may spare your life.”
Situ Ouyang flew into a rage and glared at Gu Xuan coldly.
“I am a man. If you do not mind, then neither do I.”
Gu Xuan let out a disdainful laugh.
But the moment Situ Ouyang heard that, his eyes lit up.
“Then all the better!”
He trembled with excitement.
