Chapter 42
Attention from the Outside World
Jiang Yuan, Ji Feiyue, and the others returned to the Chongming Martial Arts School.
"I knew you'd win, but I didn't expect it to be so easy." Roy sat cross-legged on the floor, a can of beer in his hand. "What a pity, I didn't even get to see your skills."
Reina exclaimed excitedly, "I heard from Yihan that you're already LV9! I didn't know you were so strong! Want to have a fight with me?"
Excitement shone in her bright eyes.
Jiang Yuan was also somewhat tempted.
A level three Shadowless Assassin is just the right amount of time to test my current strength.
"Stop fooling around, Reina," Ji Feiyue said. "Don't you have work to do?"
"Whoa!!"
Rena slapped her forehead.
"I still have to deliver food; I completely forgot about it until you mentioned it!"
"I have to deliver some food now, so I'll be going now. See you next time, Jiang Yuan."
After saying that, she vanished without a trace, and even Jiang Yuan only saw a dark shadow.
"That really puts my mind at ease. My treat today, let's all go to Purple Moon Pavilion for dinner."
With an undisguised smile on her face, Xu Yihan spoke to everyone.
Roy excitedly raised his hand. "Yay!! It's rare for Sister Yihan to treat us, and it's at Ziyue Pavilion, so we won't be polite!!"
Jiang Yuan had only heard of Ziyue Pavilion before; it was a high-end restaurant where the average cost per person was over ten thousand yuan, and it only served martial artists who had made reservations.
Ji Feiyue laughed and said, "Although we're relying on Jiang Yuan's help, it's a rare opportunity, so we won't be polite."
"I still have enough money to treat you to a meal."
"Oh, right, and these too."
Xu Yihan traded a rare chain-shaped weapon and a skill book to Jiang Yuan.
"These were yours to begin with. They should belong to you."
Jiang Yuan didn't refuse and accepted it generously. After checking its attributes, he found that it wasn't quite suitable for him, so he asked Ji Feiyue to help him sell it.
Ji Feiyue smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "Now that you're in the guild group, if you have anything you don't need, you can put it in the guild warehouse. Others can buy or trade it directly if they need it. Similarly, if you need something, you can trade it with them."
"I see."
Jiang Yuan nodded. "Besides these, I do have two more things."
He took out the bone spear and the blood lion ring.
After revealing the attributes.
Ji Feiyue was somewhat surprised. "It's the tailbone of a bone beast. I didn't expect you to be able to get such a good thing. Although it's only a first-tier item, it's very expensive and quite rare on the market."
"Even ordinary high-quality rings are rare, so it seems you had a very fruitful haul from this abyss."
"Are you planning to sell them all?"
"I'd like to reforge the bone spear, and if no one in the guild uses the Blood Lion Ring, I'll sell it," Jiang Yuan said.
Ji Feiyue nodded. "Although the attributes are good, the level is too low. Let's sell it. I happen to know a blacksmith who can forge weapons, so leave both of these matters to me."
"Thank you, Chairman."
Upon hearing this, Ji Feiyue's eyes flickered slightly. Her alluring upper body, encased in a white dress, leaned forward, approaching Jiang Yuan, and she breathed softly, saying, "As a condition for helping, you can't call me 'President' anymore. It sounds too cold. Call me Sister Feiyue."
The two were now quite close; if one lowered their head even slightly, their gaze would be drawn to the snow-white cleavage so close to their eyes.
Jiang Yuan's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Okay... Sister Feiyue, then I'll leave it to you..."
"Haha, you're blushing, you're blushing." Roy teased while drinking beer, slapping Jiang Yuan hard on the back. "You're so innocent!"
Lan Xue also covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
In a cheerful atmosphere, everyone went to Ziyue Pavilion together and had a big meal. It wasn't until evening that Jiang Yuan and Xu Yihan returned to the martial arts school together.
Before parting, a drunken Luo Yi hugged Xu Yihan and said, "Sister Yihan, you, hiccup...you can't take advantage of us living together to...make a move on little brother Jiang Yuan, okay? No...hiccup, or I won't let you off the hook..."
"No, no way!" Xu Yihan's face flushed red.
She glanced at Jiang Yuan secretly, only to find that he had already fallen asleep against the car window.
"Isn't the alcohol content of this liquor a bit too high for a minor?" Ji Feiyue asked him with a smile.
"Maybe. Sister Feiyue, has the date for the next descent into the abyss been confirmed?" Xu Yihan asked.
"Yes, in the next few days."
"What about Jiang Yuan..."
"This time we're going to the Level 4 Abyss. His level is still too low, and he also has to prepare for the college entrance exam. Let's skip it for now," Ji Feiyue said with a smile.
Xu Yihan nodded; she shared the same thought.
"Then we'll head back now."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
…………
at the same time.
The battle was spread across the StarNet by streamer Moyu's live broadcast clips.
Jiang Yuan's handsome appearance, coupled with his lazy and mysterious temperament, as well as his incredible fighting skills and the ability to instantly kill Liang Cheng twice, attracted a lot of attention and his popularity soared.
Lin Qingyan, who had just returned home from the abyss, saw this message online and said while drinking coffee:
"What's the point of teaching that kind of trash a lesson, making such a big fuss... You'd be better off killing monsters and leveling up in the abyss instead of doing this."
I'm reminded of what happened in the abyss.
A layer of frost couldn't help but settle onto her delicate, snow-white face.
"That bastard, does he think he can keep beating me forever just because he beat me once?"
"You just wait."
……
Xia Family Manor.
"Jiang Yuan? The Fifth Prodigy? Paying attention to these things is completely pointless."
Inside the huge training room, with ten-meter-long ravines all over the floor, Xia Qinghou, covered in sweat, turned his back to the butler and said calmly.
"Among my peers, no matter who they are, they only deserve to see my back."
……
Outside Nanjiang City, somewhere in the suburbs.
Qin Nansun, sitting on a rock in the distance, looked at the tablet in his hand with a smile on his lips.
"Oh?"
"Jiang Yuan... is quite interesting."
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The ground shook.
"roar!!"
Three enormous pig-headed men, wielding giant axes, charged at him.
Qin Nansun didn't even look, and raised his sword finger upwards.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Six black iron swords flew up, their sword light crisscrossing and cutting through the air like hot knives slicing through tofu, instantly reducing the health bars of the three enormous pig-headed men to zero.
"I wonder how many swords I can withstand," Qin Nansun said with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
…………
Inside a room in the basement of the Baihe Group.
Lin Junhao lay naked in the emerald green medicinal bath.
He raised his arm, and green branches, like willow twigs, emerged from his flesh, swaying and seemingly drinking into the medicinal liquid as if they were alive.
In an instant, the body of the person next to him rapidly withered, turning into a dried-up corpse in just a few seconds, with a satisfied smile on his face before he died, which was extremely eerie.
"Power, I feel power surging within me."
Lin Junhao greedily absorbed the energy, his handsome face, pale as paper, now filled with an evil aura, a stark contrast to his appearance during the awakening ceremony.
"No one can beat me in this martial arts college entrance exam, hahahahaha!!"
Gulp, gurgle.
As he laughed wildly, the flesh on the back of his head churned and a single purple eye emerged.
