How Could This Possibly Be a Gu Master?

Staring at that extremely familiar face, even Li Hanyi, who was normally so aloof and cool, wore an incredibly vivid expression. Her sexy little mouth had even formed an O.

She never would have imagined that the one to resolve this crisis at such a life-or-death moment would be her deskmate.

But they had changed classes on the same day. Even if Cao Xiaochun had leveled up like he was riding a rocket, there was no way he could have gained the ability to fight two level-eighteen monsters alone by the next day, right?

And hadn't he awakened as a Gu Master?

Wasn't the Gu Master universally recognized as the weakest class? Then what were those heads and that giant toad just now? Judging from their behavior, those two creatures were clearly contracted beasts. Since when could a Gu Master contract pets?

"Hey, deskmate."

Cao Xiaochun greeted her with a smile. He still had quite a favorable impression of this icy beauty.

"Wait a moment. Let me deal with what's at hand first, then we can talk."

Cao Xiaochun let out a breath and flashed over to where Uncle Li had fallen. Looking at a lump of charred remains and a block of ice, Cao Xiaochun struck with all his strength!

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the block of ice shattered. He plucked another two Vitality Grass leaves and slowly tossed them onto the two men's foreheads. Only after sensing that their injuries had stabilized did Cao Xiaochun stop.

Ever since the two men had prepared to risk their lives, Cao Xiaochun had watched everything unfold. Yet he had chosen to stand by.

Without Uncle Li and the other man keeping them occupied, the Flying Head Gu could not have sneaked up on the Binuoxiu sisters so easily. After all, the sisters specialized in ice, fire, and spiritual magic, and their senses were exceptionally sharp.

If they had discovered it, he would likely have been dragged into a hard battle.

Therefore, sacrifices were sometimes unavoidable in pursuit of one's goals. Cao Xiaochun felt no guilt over it. They had not known each other to begin with, and Uncle Li's group were merely Li Hanyi's guards. Fundamentally, they were strangers. Since they were strangers, he might as well make the most of their usefulness.

After subduing the Binuoxiu sisters, Cao Xiaochun had intended to come over and see whether the two men were dead. If they were, then they were simply unlucky. If they could still be saved, he did not mind lending a hand. It was only a small effort anyway.

Seeing Cao Xiaochun's actions, everyone instantly snapped out of their shock and hurried after him. When they saw what he was doing, they all sucked in a cold breath.

"This healing effect is comparable to Bronze-grade Holy Light!"

Seeing his brother's injuries recover at a visible rate, the burly mage was both thrilled and utterly stunned. Besides those overwhelmingly powerful attacks, this mysterious young man even possessed healing skills!

Every class had its own strengths. Some were naturally suited only for battle, while others were suited for support. Yet Cao Xiaochun's performance seemed to overturn everything he knew. At least, in all his years, he had never heard of any class that could excel so spectacularly in both areas.

"Alright, their injuries have stabilized. You should have healing medicine, right? Give them some. That should keep them going until you leave the dungeon and get them to a hospital."

Cao Xiaochun examined the two men's injuries. Though he could not fully heal them, they would not die for the time being.

At his reminder, everyone finally recovered from their shocked stupor. They hurriedly helped Uncle Li and the other man up, pouring medicine into their mouths.

"Since everything's fine now, I'll be leaving first. See you at school, deskmate."

Cao Xiaochun smiled faintly. Now that he had subdued the Binuoxiu sisters, his leveling plan would have to pause here for the moment. He needed to quickly learn what the sisters could do so he could more accurately assess his current strength.

"Wait!" Seeing Cao Xiaochun about to leave, Li Hanyi's pupils contracted as she tried to chase after him. Her deskmate's display had completely overturned her understanding, leaving her with far too many questions.

But she had only just recovered and had little strength to begin with. In her agitation, her legs went weak, and she stumbled straight into Cao Xiaochun.

Hearing Li Hanyi call out, Cao Xiaochun turned back in confusion. Before he could react, something massive smacked into his face, sending his whole body crashing backward. Under that airtight, crushing pressure, Cao Xiaochun found it hard to breathe.

Holy shit, this woman is trying to kill me with her boobs!

Li Hanyi shook her head. At that moment, she felt something strange in her chest. When she saw the two of them lying on the ground in an ambiguous position, she froze, then sprang up like a startled rabbit.

"I mean, even if we've gotten along well over the past two years, you don't need to be this enthusiastic the moment we meet, do you?"

Cao Xiaochun slowly sat up and said helplessly as he looked at the red-faced Li Hanyi.

"No... I was..."

Hearing Cao Xiaochun's words, Li Hanyi hurriedly tried to explain. But with her aloof temperament, how could she have ever experienced a situation like this? The words reached her lips, yet she could not say them.

Cao Xiaochun did not say anything more. Seeing the two guards already getting up and walking over, he lightly waved his hand and pressed the coordinate teleporter.

As a flash of white light passed, Cao Xiaochun's figure vanished instantly.

"Miss, he's your deskmate?"

Watching Cao Xiaochun disappear, the burly man swallowed hard. This person's strength had already surpassed everything he knew about new students. If he had not heard Cao Xiaochun calling her "deskmate" over and over, he would have believed it if someone said Cao Xiaochun was her teacher!

After all, an expert who could dispatch two level-eighteen monsters in an instant was actually a student who had only just changed classes. Who would believe that if it were told to them?

Li Hanyi clearly had not recovered from that awkward incident. Facing her guard's question, she merely nodded lightly.

"I heard someone at your school awakened the Spirit Beast Master class this year. That must be him, right?"

After thinking it over, the burly man accepted reality. Judging from the toad Cao Xiaochun had ridden earlier, he had to be a Spirit Beast Master who had contracted two powerful pets.

"No, he has a hidden class: Gu Master!"

Li Hanyi shook her head and said flatly. Though the answer was absurd, that was the truth.

"Gu... Gu Master? That universally recognized hidden class that's useless in a fight?"

Hearing his young mistress's words, the burly man's eyes widened as though he had heard something utterly unbelievable.

He found it difficult to accept this result.

A Gu Master could pin down and beat a Bronze-grade Lord the moment he awakened.

Was this still that pathetic class that couldn't do anything right? If he did not know his young mistress's personality, he would have thought she was joking.

"Enough. We'll talk after we get back. Uncle Li's injuries can't be delayed." Li Hanyi sighed. Though she also found it absurd, this was clearly not the time to discuss it. They needed to get out and treat the injured first.
