Fang Family, Fang Ya?

Xu Jie chewed on the two words, a complex expression on his face.

It seemed his parents' deaths were just as he had suspected…

Now he was certain: the Jiang Family killed his father, and the Lu Family destroyed his mother's clan!

Good! Good! Good!

A chilling killing intent flashed in Xu Jie's eyes. He didn't care about the Lu Family, the Jiang Family, the Half-step Gods, or the young master of the Jiang Family.

If they dared to appear before him, he would kill them all!

If he didn't avenge his parents, was he even human?

Half-step Gods, huh!

The three great families, huh!

They would all die!

Xu Jie slowly clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his palms without him feeling it.

On his other hand, Little Black glanced at the blood-soaked shirt with its big eyes, looking regretful.

However, Little Black was very smart and spiritual. It could sense Xu Jie's extreme anger!

Therefore, Little Black dared not provoke Xu Jie and could only work harder licking Xu Jie's fingers.

Evening, the sky was dimly lit.

Xu Jie, wandering around the campus, was looking for a way to leave the school, essentially casing the joint.

After thoroughly scouting the area, Xu Jie confirmed the exit points. He didn't act immediately but returned to his dormitory, silently waiting for night to fall completely.

As the night deepened, Xu Jie, sitting on his dormitory chair, suddenly heard an alarm.

The sound approached from afar, first from outside the school, then an ear-piercing alarm sounded within the school as well.

Xu Jie frowned, listening to the sudden noise. It was as if the entire city was in an uproar.

What happened?

Is this… a city-wide alert?

Immediately, Xu Jie heard dense footsteps in the corridor outside his dormitory, a cacophony of running and shouting.

"Something's happened in Jincheng!"

"Hurry to the sports field!"

"It's probably a beast tide attack; there have been similar emergencies before!"

"Can anyone contact the Jincheng garrison and ask what's going on?"

Xu Jie reacted quickly. He rushed out of the dormitory and followed the crowd in the corridor to the school's sports field.

When he arrived at the sports field, several giant searchlights had been turned on, illuminating the area brightly.

On the main stage, the principal, other school leaders, and all the instructors had already arrived.

They all watched with solemn expressions as the students gathered below.

Perhaps the situation was truly dire, as the principal couldn't wait for all the students to arrive and didn't even call roll.

He directly grabbed a megaphone and began to speak. His low, grave voice immediately echoed across the field.

"Hello, hello, hello… Students, I am Principal Jinwu. Just now, a beast tide erupted outside Jincheng. The scale is mid-level. The outer defense line of Jincheng has been breached by the beast tide, and the City Lord's Mansion has issued a Level 2 city-wide alert."

"We are all Martial Artists. According to Xia Country's laws, we must participate in this war to resist the beast tide! Many may die, but this is our responsibility! We cannot shirk it, nor can we fear battle! A Martial Artist should die on the frontier; why should their bodies be returned wrapped in horsehide!"

"Now, I order in my capacity as Principal of Jinwu University! Students in their third year of junior year, all fourth-year students, and all students on the ranking list will follow us school officials out of the city to cooperate with the garrison and resist the beast tide's impact on Jincheng!"

"First and second-year students will temporarily remain at the school. Third-year students in the first semester, be prepared to move out at any time! Students, today, we Martial Artists will live and die with Jincheng! Fight!"

"Fight!!!"

Most of the students who had arrived at the sports field roared in response, their faces flushed red, their blood boiling.

Why shouldn't a man carry a Wu hook and conquer fifty states of mountains and passes!

The Xia Country's populace was extremely warlike, with few who feared death.

The students of the Martial Arts University were all young men full of vigor.

The principal's brief pre-battle declaration had ignited the students' fighting spirit.

Xu Jie, mixed in the crowd, had a sharp glint in his eyes.

An opportunity to go out and slaughter demons and seize usable lifespan had arrived!

How could he miss such a great chance?

It was simply a godsend!

After all, he had been planning to sneak out of school not long ago!

Now, it seemed, it was completely unnecessary!

I have to go!

So, Xu Jie didn't follow most of the senior students to the school's armory to get equipment.

He walked against the flow of people and found his direct instructor, Chu Mingyue.

"Instructor!"

"Xu Jie?"

Chu Mingyue was wearing a tight leather combat suit tonight. She had changed out of the high heels and stockings she usually wore, her attire clearly more suited for combat.

Seeing Xu Jie rush over, Chu Mingyue frowned slightly, as if she realized something. She quickly ordered him in her capacity as instructor.

"Xu Jie, you're a sophomore. Go back to the dorm and wait for news!"

"I'm going out of the city!"

Given Xu Jie's battle-hungry, desperado personality, even without the system, he wouldn't stay behind waiting for news while others protected him.

Not to mention, the Killing System's function was to grow stronger through combat, so he definitely wouldn't stay in the rear.

"No!"

Chu Mingyue didn't explain much to Xu Jie this time because time was of the essence.

"It's wartime now, Xu Jie, obey orders!"

"Chu Mingyue, I'm ninth on the ranking board, why can't I go?"

Xu Jie was also angry. "The principal just said that all ranked students must go to the battlefield. That's an order!"

"..."

Seeing Xu Jie's strong insistence, Chu Mingyue sighed inwardly and could only change her attitude, trying to persuade him gently.

"Xu Jie, I hope you won't be so impulsive. The Martial Department has already sent people to Jincheng to test your talent and cultivation. Once confirmed, you will be highly regarded by the Martial Department's higher-ups and have a brighter future, understand?"

According to Chu Mingyue's estimation, the Martial Department's assessment team would take about three to four days to arrive in Jincheng.

This period was extremely important for Xu Jie!

If the assessment was successful and Xu Jie's talent and aptitude were recognized by the Martial Department.

Then, he would receive an unimaginable amount of resource allocation. Perhaps, without Chu Mingyue needing to find a way, a big shot from the Martial Department would help Xu Jie break through to the Pulse Opening Realm.

At this moment, if Xu Jie went out of the city to fight, and any accident occurred...

However, Xu Jie's thoughts were completely different from Chu Mingyue's!

Damn it, they're talking about a bright future again?

I haven't even thought about living to see tomorrow, what bright future!

If Xu Jie really stayed in the school, that would be slow suicide. What a brainless idea!

Because soon, the Jiang family would arrive in Jincheng, a peak third-rank Martial Artist known as a prodigy!

And to investigate the cause of his mother and father's deaths, Xu Jie needed strength to do these things. Without strength, everything was just empty talk!
