How very despicable!

In front of the beauties, this Zhou Mu wanted to use me as a stepping stone to show off? This behavior was so despicable . Even if he wanted to attract Lin Wan Er’s attention, he did not need to challenge me to a spar . And also… . after the incident at the company, her beautiful arcs kept me up every night . I could not lose face in front of Lin Wan Er… .

At that moment, I glanced over at Lin Wan Er . I was surprised when I saw her looking back at me . Her cheeks turned slightly pink as she looked at me with eyes filled with resentment . In a low angry voice, she said: “Xiao Yao, you pervert… . ”

My heart sank, as it became clearer and clearer; Lin Wan Er seemed to be able to sense what people were thinking… . Could this be Mind Reading?!

…

This won’t do . I couldn’t lose face anymore, not in front of Lin Wan Er . To Dong Cheng Yue, I seemed strong; Today, I would win!

I stood up and put down my milk tea, smiling: ”Okay . Since Zhao Mu invited me so kindly, I will join you in a spar . Let’s be careful and not injure each other…”

Zhao Mu laughed: “Don’t worry, I won’t injure you . ”

I furrowed my brow . These people were really egotistical . No wonder the swordplay club was just one big violent group!

Wang Ran’s eyes grew wide: “Li Xiao Yao, can you do it? Zhao Mu’s North Star Style is unrivaled among the swordplay club . Even I can’t beat him . ”

I nodded: ”Don’t worry!”

“Then… which weapon would you like? A bamboo sword?”

“Okay, Give me two!”

“Two?”

“Yes, two bamboo swords!”

“Ah, ok…”

…

Wang Ran personally handed me two bamboo swords . Holding them in my hand, they seemed so light compared to my Xiao Hei; they were as light as toys .

TL: Xiao Hei is Xiao Yao’s sword in real life

Zhao Mu gripped his bamboo sword with both hands . His eyes were filled with confusion: “Two swords? Did you think that having another sword will make you stronger?”

I laughed a little: “It is not like that . These bamboo swords are too light . With two, I can control the speed much better . However, it does hit harder . ”

“Ba!” Zhao Mu said angrily: “Then I will give you a taste of the North Star Style’s most fearsome strike!”

Holding one bamboo sword in each hand, the blades became an extension of myself . With a faint smile, I said: “You only know that North Star Style’s most fearsome strike is the strike: Killing Intentions . You probably don’t know that the North Star Style came from Japan learning China’s Tang Dynasty’s swordsmanship . You also probably do not know China’s Han Dynasty’s borderland warriors use a dual swords style!

Zhao Mu coldly said: “Dual sword style? Okay, let us see if this Dual sword style is as impressive as it sounds… . ”

…

At the same time, loud sounds came from outside of the swordplay club . Many of the girls that were watching the basketball competition decided to come over . All of them had their eyes wide open like curious little babies .

“Wow, Isn’t that guy ‘Maniac Killer’ Zhao Mu? Who is he dueling?”

“A student that I don’t know, dual swords though… . wow, he looks very handsome holding two swords… . ”

“Its gonna be a good show . ”

…

I wrinkled my brow and whispered: “Wang Ran, could you please close the club door?”

Wang Ran nodded . She quickly ran to the door but there were so many girls outside that Wan Ran couldn’t close the door . On the other hand, after they saw showdown here, everyone would probably leave .

“Can we start? Come!” I impatiently said .

Zhao Mu took a deep breathe and charged toward me while roaring loudly . Holding the blade with both hands, he rushed towards me with small steps . Suddenly, he quickly thrust the blade at a weird angle, aiming at my underarm . This is the North Star Style!

Twisting my wrist, I turned over my right hand . “Pah!” I blocked his blade with mine . Then I leaned forward and struck!

“Pah!”

Zhao Mu retreated a few steps and his complexion turned purple .

On the sidelines, the students stared on with dumbstruck eyes: “Wow, Zhao Mu’s attack was blocked? What kind of reaction speed does he have?”

I spread my two swords . With a slight laugh, I said: “Good, a blitz attack!”

“Pah!”

My sports shoes stamped on the ground and I sprung forward as fast as lightning . Afterwards, the dual blades began to dance!

“Oh… . ”

Zhao Mu immediately yelled out . He carelessly tried to block my attacks by placing his bamboo sword horizontally in front of his chest but he could not block my attacks . The dexterity of dual blades was incomparable to a single sword and I used almost every skill I knew from the Dual sword style to harass Zhao Mu .

“Pah! Pah! Pah!”

I left behind marks on Zhao Mu’s clothes as I swung my swords . Within 3 seconds, my swords hit him at least 29 times!

…

3 minutes later…

“Pah!”

I threw both swords on the ground and turned around to look at Lin Wan Er . Smiling, I said: “Miss, let’s walk around the garden once and then go to the cafeteria for food . It doesn’t seem like we have time to go to the library . ”

Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue both stared at me with their mouths wide open with amazement . Apparently, this was the first time these two girls had seen me show off my swordsmanship .

Wang Ran was more amazed by me than the two girls . She understood the basics of Dual Sword Style but what I displayed was beyond the basics . Every second, I executed 10 different attacks which was almost at the human limits . It was only natural that I had to train and train until I reached this state .

“Li Xiao Yao… . ”

Wang Ran ran up and grabbed my wrist . A pair of beautiful eyes looked up at me: “Would… would you please join the swordplay club?”

“I can’t . I just met you . ”

Zhao Mu stood there disappointedly, with a hurt expression .

Slowly pulling out my hand, I gave Wang Ran an apologetic look: ”Sorry, I am already in a club . That is why I cannot join the swordplay club . ”

Wang Ran’s jaw dropped: “What club are you in?”

I said forcefully: “Table tennis!”

“Ah?” Many expressions crossed Wang Ran’s face: “Such an amazing swordsman . How can you be in the table tennis club?”

Lin Wan Er started to laugh .

Dong Cheng Yue narrowed her eyes . Looked like someone was a rising star in table tennis .

…

As we left the Swordplay club, a fall wind blew through and the two beauties’ short skirts fluttered lightly in the wind . I thoughtfully placed my palm on Lin Wan Er’s back .

“Li Xiao Yao, what do you want to do?” Lin Wan Er suddenly turned and looked at me .

“Hiccup . . ”

I raised my head and smiled: “I want to help the Generals get the first Guild Creation tablet . I wonder how they will thank me . ”

Lin Wan Er pursed her lips . With a small laugh, she said: “You want something too far out of your reach . Level 50+ Gold bosses do not fall so easily . I heard that from all three of the big cities, Jiu Li City, Fan Shu City, and Ba Huang City, teams were sent to kill the boss . More than 100 divisions were wiped out . One guild suffered incredible damages; they sent 500+ people to fight a level 57 Purple-ranked Boss . After 5 rounds, everyone fell below level 40 . While they were trying to gather people to fight the boss again, the Boss just flew away… . ”

“Pfff…” Dong Cheng Yue stifled a laugh .

I remained silent for a second . “Okay, if the Generals cannot find another healer like Darling Duck that will come then it might be hard . I require a 2nd promoted healer to cast level 5 heals in addition to my own level 5 heal to be able to tank it . Killing a Gold-rank Boss ought to be a bit more easier but they rarely spawn . ”

Lin Wan Er nodded: “Ok . As of today, the number of dead Gold level bosses among the three cities have reached 9 but no one has found a Guild Creation Tablet yet . It is said that Gold level Bosses’ drop chance is at 0 . 7% and Purple level Bosses’ drop chance is around 3% . For Bosses, it seems higher rarity has higher drop chances . However, higher rarity also means tougher bosses; many players have died to them . So, you shouldn’t think about it too much . ”

“Ok, I will burn an incense before confronting the Boss”

TL: In chinese culture, you usually burn incense as an offering to accompany a prayer of good health or luck .

“Huh?… . ”

“… . . “

… .

After eating dinner, I shooed away a wave of boys from the two girls . After at the girls’ dorms, I helped Lin Wan Er send away a large male student holding a bouquet of roses . I waited until they went upstairs and checked that it was clear before I left . Every boy in Liu Hua University viewed me as an enemy . I had a bad feeling about this… .

At my dormitory, Glasses was wiggling on his bed . I knew that he must be doing something intense in Destiny but in reality, he wasn’t really moving that much in real life . It was the game that was making him move, that was the only way to explain his lack of coordination . I guess this was good for him . For example, lets say Glasses kept on using his skills in game and in real life, he would wiggle, wiggle and boom he’s in the bathroom . Then, he can have an exceptional endurance because he didn’t have to log off to take care of bodily needs .

“Shua!”

I went online and appeared within the Dragon’s Tomb . Beside me was the guardian Karl’s house but it seemed like he didn’t really welcome me with the stone door shut tight . But I needed to get a mission so I would knock until this door opened .

“Pa pa pa…… . ”

As I knocked on the stone door, I asked: “KARL?”

“Squeak…… . ”

The stone door finally opened and Karl came out in his wooden wheelchair . He raised his head to look at me and with a smile of arrogance he said: “Kid, do you know why that brat Frost left you here?”

I paused: “Why?”

“To make you undergo various hardships . Maybe you can’t take them so you should get out of Dragon City . ”

“It’s fine…” I proudly stuck out my chest: “Teacher, give me your assignments, I’ll be able to handle them…”

“Alright, then let’s start the first phase of your training in Dragon’s Tomb!”

Karl said: “Within Dragon’s Tomb, every dragon bone has an abundance of residual spiritual power . So, a lot of forces come and try to steal these dragon bones . Even though Dragon City has a few hundred soldiers, they are at least 20 minutes away so we must use our own power to protect Dragon’s Tomb . Recently, a bunch of tomb imps have appeared within Dragon’s Tomb and are stealing small dragon bones . We can’t allow them to disrespect the remains of the dragons so brat, your mission today is to kill 1000 tomb imps!”

“Ding!”

System Notification: You accepted a quest to [Hunting Tomb Imps] (The current quest difficulty: A grade)

Quest Description: Enter the Dragon’s Tomb and kill 1,000 Tomb Imps and bring 100 imp skulls to the tomb’s guardian, Karl . Upon completion, you will gain a huge experience reward . But you must be careful of these cruel and murderous imps . Perhaps, you’ll be one of the corpses stolen by these demons .

……

Okay, looking at the task, it must be rich in experience . My goal today was to reach level 42 and help the General Family kill high level bosses .
