Seeing someone’s coming over, the youngster instantly exults. I can be saved at last. But, the youngster’s taken aback while seeing a little figure carrying such a huge creature.

Once seeing the familiar figure, the spine porcupine stands all its spines. While the youngster is distracted, the spine porcupine hits the belly of the youngster by his head and knocks him out. Having no idea to care about its prey, the spine porcupine turns back and runs.

“You stop! I’m talking to you; don’t run!”

The meat is so delicious. How can Bai Xiaoli can let it run away?

The dead body of the explosive-fire-rhinoceros is thrown away. With a “Boom”, the earth trembles with it. In the meantime, Bai Xiaoli already jumps out straightly.

The spine porcupine who runs first is actually caught up by Bai Xiaoli with ease. And then it’s killed by one punch of Bai Xiaoli.

The youngster lying on the ground almost has his eyes drop out of his sockets.

What kind of a master he has encountered?

It’s always alien beasts who run after human. Now it’s totally the converse. The alien beast escapes, while the human is running after it like crazy. How much indeed he loves this alien beast? What’s more important, to his surprise, this guy punches this alien beast to death, punch to death, death. This is the alien beast who almost kills the youngster.

“Are you OK? Can you stand up?” Long Lan runs over to help. The youngster looks only at the same age as Long Lan. He looks very handsome with fair skin and short black hair which is trimmed neatly.

After relocating his jaw, the youngster turns back vacantly and finds a white and clear baby face boy, round eyes full of concern. He looks a little dull, very adorable.

Touching on his ribs, the youngster squints and laughs, “Life is saved. But, two ribs seem to be broken.”

Long Lan: “…”

He laughs so radiantly with two broken ribs? Isn’t him another weird from somewhere?

Long Lan helps the youngster to stand up, but the youngster looks at another direction.

So it’s Bai Xiaoli who grabs one leg of the spine porcupine and pulls it back.

The youngster admires so much this valiant master and extends gratitude with smile, “Thanks for saving me.”

Staring at him for a moment, Bai Xiaoli suddenly hides the spine porcupine behind, “It’s mine.”

The youngster: “…”

Really, he didn’t mean to save me, but to get this spine porcupine? Suddenly, the youngster gets a sense that he’s not as important as the spine porcupine.

The youngster seems not to care at all and continues talking with smile, “Hello, I’m Kain Lin. What’s your name?”

“Long Lan; he’s Bai Xiaoli.” Long Lan gives his name and introduces Bai Xiaoli passingly.

After his words, Long Lan just realizes, “Kain Lin? Are you one of the three freshmen who get full marks in actual combat in the Department of Actual Combat of Tianjing College, Kain Lin?”

Kain is surprised, too. “Yes, are you also students of Tianjing College?”

Long Lan laughs and says: “We’re all students of Tianjing College. And, Bai Xiaoli is also one of the three who get full marks in actual combat.”

Kain looks again at Bai Xiaoli. With this strength, if he didn’t get full marks, that’s really abnormal.

“Ah~, what a luck for me to meet the schoolfellows here. Otherwise, I should be dead today.” Kain says with a smile.

Long Lan is confused and asks: “The school has already started for one week. Why don’t you go to school, but come here?”

The three of the first Grade students who get full marks in actual combat have attracted much attention. Bai Xiaoli and Ma Nan are both at school. Bai Xiaoli joins Grey Wolf, while Ma Nan joins Chi Wei. Only Kain remains a free man. The Black God goes to the class of Kain several times per day to find him. And they tried their best to convince Kain to join them. Otherwise, Xie Anshen will feel to lose face.

Maybe, Xie Anshen has never dreamed such a scene. The one they have always been waiting for is actually in the mountains out of the city.

Kain continues smiling and squinting, and he looks very good-tempered, “I’m hunting to make money. I’ve not yet got enough for my tuition, so I ask the school for a leave first. I will go to school after paying the tuition fees.”

Long Lan: “…”

This answer is really unexpected.

“Great. We’re all lack of money. Why not joint us? Let’s make money together.” Joyce comes over gracefully. With a decent smile on his handsome face, his whole person is shining, like a colorful peacock in its estrus, full of flirtatious bearing.

Kain opens his permanently joyful eyes, and even the smile on his face turns stiff for a moment. Maybe he’s shocked by the flirty temperament of Joyce.

“You’re also lack of money?” Kain asks.

Long Lan says embarrassedly: “I have to live on the meal card for this month. My pocket money remains less than one hundred.”

Kain looks at the quiet Bai Xiaoli.

Bai Xiaoli: “I don’t have money.”

Long Lan coughs embarrassedly, “Hum, Xiaoli always has nothing in his pocket.”

Kain: “…”

Scratching his head, Rovel gives a simple and honest smile, “My family is not well off. My tuition is also paid by my parents with their years of savings.”

Joyce spreads his hands, “Cang Yan and I are also in the same condition. All the expenses are earned by ourselves. As long as there’s no source of income, we’ll have to live on air.”

Long Lan is surprised, “Seniors, awesome. So those two vehicles are bought with your hard-earned money?”

Joyce: “…”

Buddy, do you need to be so honest at this time? The comrades-in-arms should have the tacit understanding between the comrades-in-arms, ok? You’re not cutting my nest, you’re digging my grave, buddy!

“The SUV is mine.” Cang Yan talks to defusing embarrassment.

“One for transportation in the city, another for hunting out. These two vehicles must be bought even if it needs to sell the kidneys. Anyway, we can’t go out hunting on foot. All our savings for these two years are spent on the vehicles.” Joyce chimes in.

Kain smiles and says, “Since we all lack money, let’s get together.”

Joyce takes the opportunity and says: “We have built a team and prepare to take part in the World Rune Competition. I think everyone knows what level of the competition is. Are you going to join us?”

After saying this, looking Bai Xiaoli standing aside, Joyce suddenly feels his teeth hurting again. Maybe…there’s really someone who doesn’t know about it?

Cang Yan obviously also finds out this question and asks Bai Xiaoli, “Do you know what is the World Rune Competition?”

Bai Xiaoli shakes his head, “No.”

Joyce: “…”

Can this face-slapping comes much timelier?

Cang Yan turns to Long Lan, “You didn’t tell him?”

Long Lan also shakes his head. The key question is not that he doesn’t tell Bai Xiaoli, but it doesn’t make sense to tell him. Who can reach it? It’s already the best result to stand out on behalf of Tianjing College, isn’t it?

“Then why you join a team?” Cang Yan feels speechless.

Long Lan says honestly: “We’re a bit short of money, so we want to get the scholarship of the College.”

Cang Yan: “…”

Bai Xiaoli adds, “Take the scholarship and buy meat for eating.”

Cang Yan: “…”

Cang Yan coughs embarrassedly. His soul beast is so cute, and the purpose is so simple.

“Xiaoli, let me explain to you. ‘World Rune Competition’ is a worldwide game which is held every 30 years and has many restrictions. The fundamental restrictions are the age and the number of the participants. All the competitors should be no more than 22 years old. One team should have at most 8 members, 5 regulars and 3 alternates. Each country will choose one winner team first, then the winner team from every country will compete together to have the final winner. The country where the final winner team comes from will have an opportunity to run the Holy City of Sky for 30 years. Since the Dark Age, the rune competition has been held successfully for three times till now, and this is the fourth.”

Cang Yan explains briefly and concisely the competition that they’re going to participate in. He doesn’t tell too much details. With his character, Bai Xiaoli will not be interested in those minor details. Even these basic information of the competition, he doesn’t want to know.

Bai Xiaoli feels confused, “What’s Holy City of Sky?”

This name sounds grand, magnificent and classy.

Cang Yan says: “That’s a very mysterious place. You have to win the game to get in. I heard that it’s a place popped up by a lot of runes. It’s a place full of mysterious rune power.”

The eyes of Bai Xiaoli are immediately lightened up, “Are there many runes?”

“Maybe.” Looking at the blinking eyes of Bai Xiaoli, Cang Yan gets to know that Bai Xiaoli is interested in runes.

“I want to go to Holy City of Sky!” Bai Xiaoli makes his decision immediately.

Cang Yan: “…”

So you want so much the runes? In the world, besides meat, you will only be attracted by runes?

Seeing all this, Kain speaks with a smile, “Since even such a dab hand is in your team, why should I be picky? Count me in, I will join and go to play the rune competition.”

“Welcome to join Grey Wolf. I’m the captain, Cang Yan.”

“I’m the vice-captain Joyce.”

Cang Yan and Joyce shake hands with Kain respectively. Then Joyce introduces the other members of the team to Kain. The atmosphere is quite harmonious. After meeting all members of the team, Kain looks at the huge beast in whole crimson.

“It’s you who hunt it? Look at this body shape! Its level should not be low?”

Joyce is very proud, “That is a rune beast, and it’s killed by Bai Xiaoli alone. A group of hunters want to loot it. Just now, we were escaping.”

About the rune beast, it cannot be hidden at all. Since Kain is already one of them, Joyce simply tells him and lets him know that they actually have a catch in their team.

As expected, after hearing that it’s a rune beast, Kain can’t help but open widely his smiling eyes. He looks at Bai Xiaoli with his incredulous eyes, “Are you really a freshman of Tianjing College?”

“Yes.” Bai Xiaoli nods.

“What’s your strength on earth; you can actually kill one rune beast by yourself?”

Kain feels that he’s going crazy. What they have learned in the school is all fake? If a group of masters siege a rune beast, they will surely suffer great losses? Where are the great losses? Bai Xiaoli thumped one to death himself, didn’t he? Is Bai Xiaoli too strong, or the books are exaggerating?

“E Grade Orange Star-II.” Bai Xiaoli answers honestly.

“E, E Grade?!” Kain is directly frightened. Upgrade Quietly
