God Rank Upgrade System Chapter 19

"Lin Xiu!" Yang Tian was elated when he saw Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu walked over. While returning, he had already realized that he had escaped in the wrong direction. Thus, he encountered the high-rank evolved beasts.
"Hmph, your luck must be good since you didn't die." Zhang Yi sneered when he saw Lin Xiu.
But what he felt strange was that the current Lin Xiu seemed to have a pressuring aura around him, making him feel uneasy.
Could it be that he had grown stronger again?!
Xu Jun's face became uglier. He hid behind the others and did not walk forward.
"Lin Xiu, are you alright?" Luo Li saw Lin Xiu's tattered clothes and he did not even have his battle blade. He looked like he had gone through a lot.
"I'm fine."
"Lin Xiu, did you not kill even one evolved beast?" Zhang Yi's lackey, Ye Qiu, sized Lin Xiu up and seeing that he had returned empty-handed, he decided to mock him.
The others also looked at Lin Xiu. The actual combat test actually had a hidden competition, those who hunted the most number of evolved beasts and gained the most number of odd crystals were said to be able to earn a prize.
This was the known profit for the actual combat training every year.
But if no one had more odd crystals than Zhang Yi, he would be in the first place of the actual combat training.
"Who said I didn't?" Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow and refuted.
He took the sack he was carrying on his back down, causing everyone to be surprised.
Could it be that… everything inside was odd crystals?
Impossible! Even the class number 1 in terms of combat strength, the one said to be closest to becoming an Official Warrior, Zhang Yi, only killed 8 rank 1 evolved beasts and obtained 8 odd crystals.

Lin Xiu sneered and opened the sack which contained odd crystals of all sorts of colors.
"16 rank 1 odd crystals."
"5 rank 2 odd crystals…"
Everyone's face changed when they heard Lin Xiu holding onto 5 rank 2 odd crystals. Rank 2 odd crystals could only be obtained by killing rank 2 evolved beasts!
And more importantly, rank 2 evolved beasts had strength equivalent to rank 1 Warriors. How could a beginner warrior kill so many of them?!
Right when they were in shock, Yang Tian rubbed his eyes as he exclaimed, "Rank 3 odd crystal?!"
The completely dark green odd crystal made Yang Tian recall something. Could it be that the rank 3 color-changing python was killed by Lin Xiu?
That's too much, it was a rank 3 evolved beast!
"Impossible! That's impossible!" Zhang Yi roared in shock.
Lin Xiu's odd crystals were far more than what he had obtained, especially for the rank 3 odd crystal. This had stabbed into his ego.
"Teacher Luo, Lin Xiu must have cheated, that's impossible!" Ye Qiu roared as well.
Everyone cast suspicious glances at him as well.
"Cheated? Why don't you cheat for me to see?" Lin Xiu squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone.
Everyone immediately became silent when they heard him.
The value of a rank 3 odd crystal was something none of them could afford. And no one would be stupid to buy an odd crystal in the actual combat training and competition to cheat.
"Alright, everyone's results this time exceeded my expectations. Let us all return to the pub," said Luo Li.
District A20's pub was not an actual pub but a location to freely deal and accept missions.
The pub was extremely huge with many computers around. Through the computers, people could access the 'Warrior Union' website where they could buy information and purchase weapons, crystals etc.

But all of these could only be accessed after passing the test. It was a service only for Official Warriors.
"Students, all of your odd crystals, can be sold to the pub boss, or you can also wait until you've become Official Warriors and absorb the energy within using cultivation techniques to increase your strength." Luo Li stood in the center and introduced the system to the students.
But most of the students chose to sell them.
One rank 1 odd crystal was roughly a thousand union coins. It was very valuable.
By selling a few crystals and obtaining a few thousand union coins was sufficient for them to live for a month.
"You actually have a rank 3 odd crystal?" The pub boss was surprised when he saw Lin Xiu's rank 3 odd crystal.
He knew that Xin Yao Academy students would come annually to train, but he had never encountered a student that was capable of obtaining a rank 3 odd crystal.
It was out of his expectations.
"How much for this?" Lin Xiu asked.
"An odd crystal from a Rank 3 color-changing python?"
"En."
"This is rarely seen, how about five hundred thousand?" The Boss thought for a bit before asking.
Five hundred thousand??! All the students had their mouths wide open when they heard the astronomical amount.
Five hundred thousand. That was an astronomical amount!
"Sure."
After selling all the odd crystals, Lin Xiu obtained six hundred thousand more union coins.
Although it seemed a lot, Lin Xiu knew that it was far from enough. In the future when purchasing skills, equipment, and whatnot, he would exhaust far more union coins than that.
This few hundred thousand was a drop in the ocean for warriors.
"Eh? Aren't they students from Class 29?" Right at this time, another group of people entered the pub.
They were dressed in battle robes that had the same logo of Xin Yao Academy. They were obviously from the same school and out for actual combat training.
"Class 1?" Yang Tian saw and raised his eyebrow.
Class 1, hailed as the cream of the crop, had peak standards of Beginner warriors. It was said that there were a few gifted ones that were already at the standard of Official Warriors!
"Just a bunch of trash, why bother about them."
As the class monitor, Zhang Yi naturally felt unhappy when he heard their words and clenched his fists.
"What? Zhang Yi, just based on your strength, you wish to beat me?" A boy saw his actions and sneered immediately.
He was called Sun Chen and was already in the ranks of Official Warriors. He was ranked 108 in Xin Yao Academy's combat strength ranking!
This ranking was already extremely powerful amongst the tens of thousands of students in Xin Yao Academy.
Zhang Yi's expression turned ugly, he was ranked in the thousands and could not fight him at all.
So he did not dare say anything.
"Scram, don't be a hindrance!" Right at this time, another disdainful voice rang out from the other side.

Elrich Saga Yellow Springs Book One
A young college student gets killed and accidentally saves the world. As thanks, a group of gods decide to give him a second life. They send him to Elrich, a world with monsters, demons, and where adventures await. However, his goddess liaison is a bit of an airhead and messed up his reincarnation. What sort of place awaits him in this world full of danger and uncertainty?This world is harsh, not at all the fantasy fluff and harems he'd imagined. Will he be able to keep his sanity with death around every corner? This story has LGBTQ friendly themes. It touches on drug use, child molestation, rape, children committing murder, death sentencing as a form of punishment, and questioning one's sexual identity. There are some harsh themes, since this is meant to be a harsh world. Some themes touch upon the MC directly, the others happen to secondary characters. I try not to go into too graphic of detail and I believe that this story is 16+ friendly. I promise that these themes tie together in the end to make a cohesive whole and are used to provide back story for later developments.
