Crack!
Xu Chen habitually stretched, and his body immediately crackled like popping beans.
"By convention, today is the day to compete for the position of Young Headmaster."
"The top freshmen from every Academy must enter Star Cloud Forest for assessment."
"The assessment area has been inspected by the Academy, so no deadly demon beasts will appear."
"Within one day, whoever obtains the Young Headmaster token will become the Young Headmaster."
Xu Chen recalled the rules.
He remembered that in his previous life, quite a few people had worked with Ye Xuan.
Bu Fengshuang and Li Ruoling were two of them, along with Jiang Feng from the Sword Dao Academy.
Xu Chen narrowed his eyes. "Jiang Feng from the Sword Dao Academy severed the tendons in my hands back then."
Across ninety-nine lives, they had been severed ninety-nine times.
"Since this life only requires following the main plot, in other words, Jiang Feng can exist or not exist, right?"
"That is to say, if I kill Jiang Feng, the plot probably won't collapse."
Xu Chen said this with killing intent in his eyes.
He would not kill Ye Xuan, but Jiang Feng was worth trying.
He asked the system, "System, tell me, killing a male supporting character isn't a big deal, right?"
The system replied, "Based on the current situation, Jiang Feng basically has no impact on the main plot. It doesn't matter."
Hearing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Xu Chen's mouth.
Very good. He had put up with Jiang Feng for a long time in his previous life.
Every life, he had lived like a grandson. This life, he absolutely could not keep doing that.
"Besides Jiang Feng, there's also Duan Qianyuan from the Fire Dao Academy."
"This Duan Qianyuan is Ye Xuan's lackey and has done quite a few things for him."
"Back then, Duan Qianyuan threw a fireball at me, nearly disfiguring me, and even mocked me."
"This sort of thing cannot be endured. Supporting characters who deserve to die should be killed."
If it were somewhere else, killing people would naturally not be convenient.
But if it was Star Cloud Forest, then there would be opportunities.
After all, towering trees stood everywhere inside, obscuring one's vision.
There were even countless demon beasts. If those two died by accident, there would be no problem.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen smiled and headed straight out of the cultivation room.
He quickly arrived at the Training Ground and was just about to eagerly head for Star Cloud Forest.
Yet the next moment, he froze again.
He saw two incomparably familiar, stunning beauties waving at him.
"Hi! Long time no see."
They said with smiling eyes.
Who else could they be but Chi Lian and Huo Ling'er? Even Li Ruoling had come.
Xu Chen's face twitched. It had only been seven days. Long time no see, my ass.
He remembered that Chi Lian had not led the team in his previous life.
Bu Fengshuang, standing nearby, remained calm, as though she had expected this already.
Li Ruoling, meanwhile, felt slightly nervous. Damn it, why do they keep clinging to Xu Chen?
Too many heroines have appeared around Xu Chen recently. It's made it impossible for me to get close to him, boohoohoo.
Damn it, I'm obviously the first heroine.
For this Young Headmaster assessment, she had to seize the opportunity.
Brother Xu Chen is mine!!!
PS: Eight updates!!! There's barely been any data today. Tomorrow, it seems I only need to make up three more updates. If I say I'll make them up, there won't be any missing!!! Big shots, please give me data!!! I've got no motivation for tomorrow!!!
Xu Chen looked speechlessly at Chi Lian and Huo Ling'er. "What are you two joining in the fun for?"
You were there for the freshmen Mission Trial, there for the Academy Grand Competition, and now you were here for the Young Headmaster assessment too.
Chi Lian said cheerfully, "I am the dean of the Women's Academy. I have already applied to the Palace Lord for this mission. Do you have any objections?"
Huo Ling'er's eyes sparkled as well, and she said tenderly, "Brother Chen, so am I."
Goosebumps rose all over Xu Chen's body, and he subconsciously moved a little farther away from Chi Lian.
"So what are the rules for the Young Headmaster assessment?"
Xu Chen asked.
Chi Lian chuckled. "Very simple. There will be dozens of entrances into Lucky Forest."
"Each of you will choose an entrance and enter for the trial. The trial contents are all the same."
"The trial lasts one day. After one day, whoever possesses the Young Headmaster token will pass the assessment and advance to the position of Young Headmaster."
"Also, after entering the forest, fellow disciples are not allowed to kill one another."
"Whoever violates this order will be expelled from Jixia Academy and never reinstated. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
The many elite freshmen answered.
Chi Lian nodded. "Since that is the case, set off. If there are any problems, send a signal at any time, and this elder will appear."
Everyone nodded again, then began searching for their respective entrances.
Xu Chen looked over and discovered that among those participating from each Academy, some had one person, while others had two.
Those in groups of two had applied themselves, believing they were capable.
For example, the Fire Dao Academy had Ye Xuan and Duan Qianyuan. Duan Qianyuan had applied himself.
At this moment, Duan Qianyuan looked at Xu Chen with a teasing expression, while Jiang Feng beside him had flickering eyes as well.
Xu Chen pretended not to know that the two had set their sights on him and directly found an entrance.
Then he discovered in astonishment that Bu Fengshuang was at the entrance to his left.
Xu Chen's teeth hurt. Once they entered the forest, she would be able to run into him extremely easily.
Huo Ling'er beside him puffed out her cheeks. "How shameless."
Chi Lian said with smiling eyes, "We'll go in later too."
Huo Ling'er and Li Ruoling were stunned. "Doesn't the Academy stipulate that elders are not allowed to enter, to prevent cheating?"
Chi Lian laughed until her body swayed like blossoming flowers and the waves surged. "I never said I was going to cheat. I'm merely entering."
Huo Ling'er and Li Ruoling clicked their tongues. This was allowed too?
If the Palace Lord heard this, he would probably want to beat her to death.
Xu Chen chose the entrance from his previous life, Entrance Number Thirteen.
He remembered that there were not many demon beasts along this route, but there were many thorns.
The traps lay in those plants. There were Man-eating Flowers, as well as highly poisonous herbs.
They looked just like ordinary plants, but when they attacked, they were as swift as lightning, leaving people unable to dodge in time.
"However, I can crush these poisonous flowers and herbs. They are not worth mentioning."
Xu Chen said.
With that thought, Xu Chen leisurely walked down the small path at Entrance Number Thirteen.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Not long after he began walking, Xu Chen entered the plants' attack range.
The ordinary flowers around him transformed en masse into Man-eating Flowers.
They opened their huge, fang-filled mouths, a foul stench spreading through the air as they bit straight at Xu Chen.
