Waiting for Me to Come Back for a Drink

On the way to Shengze City.

Long Liang was still in a daze, as if he were in a dream.

He had initially thought Chu Sheng's remark about not needing to wait for the college entrance examination was a joke.

But he never expected Chu Sheng to genuinely go from the sixth layer of Opening Meridian to the Qi Sea Realm in just ten days.

That's an average of one minor realm every two and a half days.

Was that reasonable?

Of course, it wasn't reasonable.

However, an S-rank Martial Talent did make the situation a bit easier to accept.

Suddenly, he remembered the anomaly from yesterday.

"Chu Sheng, were you responsible for the anomaly yesterday?"

"Mhm."

Long Liang's expression froze.

He admitted it? He just admitted it so readily?

Don't young people nowadays like to play 'playing the pig to eat the tiger' and have persecution complexes?

"My talent has advanced."

Long Liang took a sharp breath, daring not to speak his thoughts aloud, "SS-rank?"

"SSS-rank."

"..."

Wu Qingshan, who was in front, turned his head and asked, "What SSS-rank?"

His question attracted the attention of everyone in the car.

Then, Wu Qingshan exclaimed as if he had just realized it, "SSS-rank Martial Talent?! You were responsible for the anomaly yesterday?"

"That's right," Chu Sheng nodded dismissively.

The laughter and chatter in the car instantly vanished.

A sense of pressure settled upon everyone's hearts.

Long Liang scanned the car, regretting why he had asked, and why he was in the same car as people from the Second Middle School.

Jining Star wasn't exactly peaceful. Although the Great Xia Federation was the only human nation, many Starry Sky Aliens lurked around it.

With the Star Alliance present, overt warfare clearly wouldn't break out.

However, suppressing alien prodigies was something neither side shied away from.

"No one is allowed to spread this. Anyone who leaks this will be treated as a traitor!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt even more pressure.

They were just eating snacks and singing songs, never expecting to suddenly be burdened with a monumental secret that would cost them their lives if revealed.

Why did they have to get involved in this?

Afterward, Long Liang looked at Chu Sheng as if blaming him.

"You too. Is this something you can discuss in public? Aren't you afraid of those Alien Kin targeting you?"

Alien Kin referred to vassal groups that willingly submitted to the Starry Sky Aliens.

They were willing to offer everything in exchange for alien protection, and in return, they were granted certain special abilities.

The Great Xia had always held a policy of eradicating these Alien Kin.

Chu Sheng didn't react much when Alien Kin were mentioned.

They're targeting me?

On the contrary, I should be targeting them.

Traitors were already detestable enough.

To think there were even human collaborators here. If he didn't eliminate them all, wouldn't his transmigration be in vain?

Besides, he had only mentioned one of his SSS-rank talents...

Finally, Long Liang couldn't help but remind him.

"Shengze City is a Level 4 base city, there might be Alien Kin activities there. You need to be more careful from now on."

Shengze City, Third Middle School.

In addition to the school's faculty and students, Principal Liu Xiong had also invited many outsiders to observe.

Free advertising was always good, and it would also help build momentum for future admissions.

On the observation deck.

A girl with twin ponytails chewed gum and cursed.

"What an idiot. They know that the period right before the college entrance exam is when those scumbags are most active, yet they still want to make such a big fuss about an exchange competition."

"The key thing is, even if you're holding a competition, why make such a big show? If nothing happens, you won't be happy..."

The middle-aged man beside her lowered the brim of his hat. "You can't entirely blame them. Third Middle School has always been at the bottom of the rankings. It's not often they get a martial talent, and it's even an B-rank Talent. If they don't seize this chance to advertise, how will they recruit students?"

The girl blew a bubble.

"Is that rumor true? Four layers of Qi Sea, Seventh Layer, is an B-rank Talent really that powerful?"

"It's true. And he's already at the Seventh Layer of Opening Meridian. Xu Ye's B-rank Talent is a bit special. Today's match is a little unfair to Baian Second Middle School."

"How so?" The girl's eyes lit up, full of gossip.

"Weapons are not allowed in the exchange competition, but his talent is a Life-bound Spirit Sword. What do you think that means?"

The girl tugged at her ponytail. "It means... it means that person is out of luck?"

Strictly speaking, the Life-bound Spirit Sword is considered a talent, and they can't very well stop someone from using their talent.

Afterward, the girl murmured.

"Baian City... isn't the one who got in through the back door also from Baian City? I heard he's coming to participate in the assessment today. I hate people who get in through the back door the most..."

"I heard the director called Lin Hongzhao back. She's very likely in charge of the assessment. That person won't be able to pass the assessment."

Upon hearing Lin Hongzhao's name, the girl immediately gritted her teeth.

"Bitch!"

Before long, the people from Baian Second Middle School arrived.

As soon as they met, Liu Xiong politely jogged over and shook Wu Qingshan's hand.

Honestly, he had been truly afraid that Wu Qingshan would refuse the exchange competition had he heard about Xu Ye's exploits.

It seemed that the information from Baian City was quite limited.

Limited was good. Limited was great. It allowed them to gain an informational advantage.

Afterward, Liu Xiong glanced behind Wu Qingshan.

"Are you classmate Chu Sheng? Being specially recruited by Dragon Martial Academy, you truly are a hero emerging from youth."

After a round of compliments, he led them towards the martial arts stage.

Seeing the crowded stands, Wu Qingshan and Long Liang immediately frowned.

Liu Xiong thought they were worried about how they'd look if they lost.

So, he explained with a smile.

"Chu Sheng is a specially recruited student from Dragon Martial Academy. Everyone came to see him, and I couldn't refuse."

Wu Qingshan knew Liu Xiong's character and understood that he was just talking nonsense.

He looked at Long Liang beside him.

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem. With me here, nothing unexpected will happen."

Continuing forward, Liu Xiong's face showed some confusion.

The principal of a school actually needed to ask someone else's opinion?

Who was this middle-aged man, anyway?

After both teams entered the preparation room, the match schedule was quickly displayed on the big screen.

The first match was Xu Ye vs. Chu Sheng!

Shengze Third Middle School's lounge.

Everyone was gathered around Xu Ye, admiring his Life-bound Spirit Sword.

The sword body flowed with a faint blue glow.

Within its patterns, it seemed as if galaxies were twinkling.

"Holy crap, this sword is too cool! If I carried this sword to the academy, wouldn't I immediately gain four years of dating options?"

"Lol, compared to this sword, mine is like a little brother."

"This sword won't break, right?"

Xu Ye was usually very aloof.

However, he was amused by this person.

Would a Life-bound Spirit Sword break? This person was really too fanciful.

Someone immediately shot back a reply.

"Are you stupid? This is a Life-bound Spirit Sword, how could it break? If it breaks, wouldn't that mean Xu Ye's talent is gone?"

"Exactly, please use your brain a little…"

Just then, an extremely cute-looking girl arrived at the lounge.

"Xu Ye, here, the lemonade I just bought for you, it's still cold."

As Xu Ye was about to take it, he heard the announcement.

"First match, Shengze Third Middle School's Xu Ye VS Baian Second Middle School's Chu Sheng."

"Both sides, please take your positions."

Xu Ye put away the spirit sword and rubbed the girl's cheek.

"Just leave it here, I'll drink it when I get back."

The girl's delicate nose twitched slightly.

"But you only like drinking cold things, don't you?"

Xu Ye strode out of the lounge, casually saying, "There's time."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
