Chapter 282: The First Fight after the Level-Up

“It is Sun Song from Wanshan University.”

Lin Shiru’s voice came again. “He is in the fourth year at Wanshan University, on the high Gold level, ranked second on the Longhu List.”

“The second place of the Longhu List is only on the high Gold level?”

Ye Xuan was surprised.

He paid attention to only two lists when he had come to Jiangzhou University, the Rising Star List and the Fengyun List.

Yue Qingyang from Wanshan University was the only person who had got onto the Fengyun List, so it was easy to follow it.

As to the Rising Star List, he had planned to improve his rank on it, so he also had paid much attention to it.

“He is only in the fourth year. Not everyone in the world is as great as you.”

Lin Shiru said helplessly, “With his cultivation level, he will probably achieve the peak Gold level at the end of this semester. Then in one and a half or two years, when he is in the sixth year, he probably will achieve the Platinum level.”

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

That man was actually good.

Because there was a general standard to judge whether a student was a freaking genius.

That standard was whether he or she could achieve the Platinum level in the sixth year before graduation.

Of course.

Since Ye Xuan had come into the limelight, the standard had been raised.

Even if you achieved the Platinum level in your sixth year, you would only be regarded as a genius by others.

If you wanted to be called a freaking genius, you would need to compete against Ye Xuan first.

There was only one freaking genius in the Xia at the moment.

“It doesn’t feel right.”

Ye Xuan suddenly said when he had heard Lin Shiru’s response, “The student of Wanshan University is here provoking us. How come you are not angry at all?”

He found it weird.

As far as he knew how Lin Shiru valued Jiangzhou University, her expression would have changed even if she was not angry.

“Is He Yuanzhou from our university very strong?” Ye Xuan asked Lin Shiru.

“The strengths of He Yuanzhou and Sun Song are quite similar.”

Lin Shiru shook her head. “They fought a few times before. And their win rates are both 50%. This fight won’t be an exception.”

“So, you…?”

Ye Xuan looked at Lin Shiru confusedly.

Lin Shiru looked back into Ye Xuan’s eyes. She said, “You’ve got another beast that achieved the Gold level. Plus the other beasts of yours on the Gold level and the Sacred Divine Wood, it should be easy for you to deal with Sun Song. Am I right?”

“Yeah… I suppose.”

Ye Xuan replied after a thought.

Then he remained in silence.

Was Lin Shiru counting on him?

However, it felt pretty good to be counted on.

It gave him a sense of accomplishment.

“I will go out now?”

He looked at Lin Shiru.

“No hurry.”

Lin Shiru shook her head. “If he wants to make a fuss, we will give him time to do that. No matter whether He Yuanzhou wins or loses, it will be a good experience for him.”

Ye Xuan was struck dumb. He started to feel sorry for Sun Song at the gate of the university.

Sometimes, the louder you shout, the harder you will fall.

He opened the Tidal Treasure Snail’s Real-Time Map to observe the situation there.

At the same time, he was enjoying the cool touch at his temples from Lin Shiru’s hands.

He certainly did not want this to stop so soon.

…

“He Yuanzhou, come out!”

Sun Song was shouting at the gate of the university.

“Ye Xuan from your university was kind of the most important person at your university. I was going to fight against him when he caught up with me after I was informed of his level-up to the Gold level.”

“Unfortunately, he became a traitor. He betrayed the Xia.”

“I really despise what he did.”

“So, I came here to see whether Jiangzhou University has cultivated other excellent students besides Ye Xuan!”

“Shoot!”

The students of Jiangzhou University all hit the ceiling when they had heard Sun Song’s provocation on the campus.

It would be fine if Sun Song had come here simply to compete against He Yuanzhou.

But he obviously came here to humiliate Jiangzhou University.

“What the heck. What is Ye Xuan doing? Now that you already posted on the Internet, why didn’t you tell us everything? You killed Yin Zhipeng, but what happened after that? What is happening now?”

At the same time, at Jiangzhou University, the students who had seen Ye Xuan’s post were very anxious.

They were expecting a miracle more than ever when they had heard Sun Song’s provocation.

They hoped Ye Xuan could suddenly show up and bring a twist to the whole thing.

If he could show up, the incident would have a perfect ending.

“Sun Song!”

He Yuanzhou finally walked out when Sun Song had been trash-talking for some time.

Looking at Sun Song from far away and frowning, he said, “There isn’t a conclusion yet regarding Ye Xuan. I suggest you not listen to the rumors. You will bring trouble to yourself if you don’t watch your mouth.”

“We fought only a week ago. Are you sure you want to fight again now?”

“It has been exactly a week since our last fight. And I will absolutely defeat you this time!”

Sun Song narrowed his eyes when he had seen He Yuanzhou walking out of Jiangzhou University.

It was not his idea to come to Jiangzhou University. It was the idea of his faculty.

Due to Ye Xuan’s brilliant performance, Wanshan University had gone into a tailspin.

By then Ye Xuan had a problem. Wanshan University figured it was the perfect timing for them to fight back.

“Okay. Now that you want to fight, I will satisfy you!”

He Yuanzhou put on a cold look right away.

Boom!

A giant arena fell from the sky as soon as He Yuanzhou finished speaking. It landed at the gate of Jiangzhou University.

Wanshan University put up another arena at the gate of Jiangzhou University.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

He Yuanzhou and Sun Song got into the arena together.

With hundreds of feet apart, they did not waste any time after getting into the arena.

They both shifted their consciousness to call out their four Gold-level beasts immediately.

In fact, Gold-level Beast Tamers could contract with five beasts.

But they both had a beast contracted when they were on the Apprentice level.

Beasts that contracted with Apprentice-level Beast Tamers were at most five-star Apprentice-level.

Five-star Apprentice-level had the potential to achieve the Gold level, but every time they leveled up, their grade would drop one star.

Their grade would drop to two stars when they achieved the Silver level.

Two-star Silver-level beasts would need a lot of resources to achieve the Gold level.

And it would take them a lot of time.

Therefore, even though He Yuanzhou and Sun Song had achieved the high Gold level, they both had a beast on the Silver level. And it was unknown how long it would take the two Silver-level beasts to achieve the Gold level.

If they could not provide the two beasts sufficient evolutionary resources, it could even take them ten or twenty years to achieve the Gold level.

In Lin Shiru’s villa, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes when the two had called out their beasts.

He found among the Gold-level beasts that He Yuanzhou had called out, there was a variant of the Sandstorm Giant and an Ancient Wood Giant.

As to the other beasts of his, Ye Xuan had no idea what they were.

Since he could not use the Beast Editor at the moment, he had no way to know.

Among the four Gold-level beasts Sun Song had called out, there was a chicken beast whose name he did not know and an ancient rhino beast.

The other two beasts of Sun Song were jiao beasts.

One of the two jiaos had a cold shine, while the other had flames burning on it.

“Eh?”

When Sun Song had called out his four beasts, Lin Shiru raised her eyebrow. She said, “Sun Song’s Pegasus Chicken seems to have achieved the intermediate Gold level. If that’s true, I don’t think He Yuanzhou will be his rival.”

“Yeah?”

Ye Xuan used the Tidal Treasure Snail to identify the chicken’s level right away, and he found Lin Shiru was right.

“What do you think? Two beasts on the high Gold level and two on the intermediate Gold level. Do you think you can handle them?’

Lin Shiru asked Ye Xuan.

“No problem!”

Ye Xuan was very confident.

Judging from Sun Song’s strength, Ye Xuan would even be confident to defeat him even if the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings had not leveled up.

Not to mention they had evolved into the Ancient Thunder Metamorphosis Wings on the high Gold level.

“Are you so sure of yourself?”

Lin Shiru looked at Ye Xuan in surprise. “What level are you exactly on?”

“Well… I’m really not sure.”

Ye Xuan shook his head. “But I’ve got three beasts on the high Gold level.”

“You’ve got three on the high Gold level?”

Lin Shiru was surprised.

In that case, even if Ye Xuan did not provide any evolutionary resources to his beasts.

He would still be able to achieve the high Gold level through the reverse nurturing of his beasts in two or three months.

Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness into the world of the Sacred Divine Wood after having replied to Lin Shiru.

After three days’ work, the Sacred Divine Wood had refined more than half of the Sky Spirit Liquid he had got from the ancient tree in the Sky Secret Realm.

And it had leveled up to the high Gold.

It had even grown taller.

Ye Xuan figured it would only need a little more than one day to refine the Sky Spirit Liquid completely and achieve the peak Gold level.

Then he would be able to use it to travel between spaces.

He had been looking forward to this ability for a long time.

“Come on. I think He Yuanzhou will lose very soon.”

Lin Shiru told Ye Xuan to go out when she had rubbed his head one more time.

“Okay!”

Ye Xuan nodded.

He felt after such a rest, he would even be able to kill a real dragon if one showed up in front of him.

He got to his feet and changed his shoes. After walking out of Lin Shiru’s villa, he called out the Ancient Thunder Metamorphosis Wings directly.

He made them turn into a giant pair of golden electric wings attached to his back. Then he flew toward the gate of Jiangzhou University.

“Darn it. I feel like I’ve got illusions. I feel like I saw Ye Xuan.”

On the campus of Jiangzhou University, a student felt his eyes blurred when he looked up at the sky.

But in a second, the man he had seen already disappeared from his sight.

“He Yuanzhou, I said I would defeat you, so I will absolutely defeat you!”

At the gate of Jiangzhou University, Sun Song shouted. Then, mounting a red jiao beast of his, he bumped into He Yuanzhou’s Ancient Wood Giant and sent the latter flying.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a light showed up in the sky. The light blocked Sun Song, who was going to attack He Yuanzhou. That was exactly a supervisor of Jiangzhou University.

“What a pity. Since Ye Xuan came to you at Jiangzhou University, I’ve always been dying to see him. But no opportunity has ever come up. Today I’m here, but he betrayed the Xia.”

Standing in the arena after having defeated He Yuanzhou, Sun Song, looking down at the students standing at the gate of Jiangzhou University, shook his head and let out a sigh.

“I betrayed the Xia? Who said that?”

“You want to see me. I’m here now. What are you gonna do?”

At this moment, an electric light flashed across the sky like a dragon. It flew out of Jiangzhou University in a second and landed on the arena, leaving a wild gale behind it.
