Ruthless Li Hanyi

Cao Xiaochun's words instantly lodged Xu Laoba's attempted consolation in his throat, leaving him unable to say another word.

Come on, bro, did they really need to be this cocky? They hadn't even reached Bronze rank yet, and he wanted to take on a Silver-rank opponent? He had just used Detection and seen it—the idiot was level 28!

That was right. They had killed three Silver-rank opponents before, but those guys had been weakened.

"No, Xiaochun, I know things are a little urgent right now, but we can't just talk nonsense. The most important thing is figuring out how to get through this."

After thinking it over, Xu Laoba let out a sigh and tried to dissuade him earnestly.

"It's fine. I know what I'm doing." Cao Xiaochun did not care about Xu Laoba's doubts. A two-rank gap was indeed like an impassable chasm, but it was not absolute.

With Binuoxiu and her sister, as well as the Flying Head Gu, he did not think he would fail the test.

"Enough, Laoba. Have you forgotten about those monsters around the boss?"

Hong Jianjun had seen more than most. The moment Cao Xiaochun said he was not afraid of the examiner's threat, he remembered that with the monsters by their boss's side, lasting twenty exchanges really would not be much of a problem.

Leaving aside everything else, just that giant toad alone was huge. Even if it could not win, could it not take ten or so hits?

Hearing the disdain in the fat man's tone, Xu Laoba was about to argue back. But on second thought, he realized the man was right. The Binuoxiu sisters were bosses of the Dark Forest. Even Silver-rank adventurers had to suffer a little when farming them. Getting through the test would be no problem at all!

"You wouldn't kill him over one sentence, would you?" After pondering for a long time, Li Hanyi looked at Cao Xiaochun and asked softly.

After spending this time together, she understood better than anyone how terrifying her deskmate was. He was the sort who never acted without absolute confidence.

Since Cao Xiaochun dared to be so relaxed, Li Hanyi was no longer worried about whether they could pass the test. She was worried that he might suddenly fly into a rage and kill the examiner!

"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

Li Hanyi's words made Cao Xiaochun's mouth twitch. He was obviously an upstanding person, so why did she make him sound like some demon?

"Enough talking about me. The test is about to start. With your current strength, are you really going to spend the whole night passively taking hits just to get through it? Wouldn't that be way too frustrating?"

After giving it some thought, Cao Xiaochun decided to sweet-talk the two of them into doing something big. Hong Jianjun did not count—the fat man did not need to fight.

"Tch, save it. You'd be lucky just to survive a beating, and you still want to stir things up?"

Xu Laoba curled his lip at Cao Xiaochun's ill-intentioned grin. Pulling a prank during the college entrance exam—only this guy could come up with something like that.

"If we want to win, facing him head-on is impossible unless we use some tricks—and the kind everyone would despise!"

Li Hanyi, however, carefully considered Cao Xiaochun's suggestion before speaking seriously.

????

No, miss, you actually wanted to cause trouble?

Xu Laoba and Li Wenbin stared wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief. Was this woman really so single-minded?

"Oh? What's the plan? Let's hear it." Cao Xiaochun became interested and asked expectantly.

"It's a secret. But can the poison from your warty toad be put into porcelain bottles? Give me some."

"And I need an antidote too. I can't poison myself..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Hanyi said blandly.

As the examination in the arena proceeded steadily, Cao Xiaochun watched several fights. Just as he had expected, almost all the examinees were being beaten, while the examiners showed considerable restraint. Given the examinees' levels, if they tried hard enough to evade, they could dodge the attacks.

"Li Hanyi, Li Wenbin, Xu Laoba, Zhang Sanfeng... get on the stage!"

After another round of matches, it was soon Third High School's turn. Li Hanyi and the other two were the first to step up.

Cao Xiaochun had no interest in watching Xu Laoba and Li Wenbin fight. They wielded Platinum-grade equipment and were higher level than the other examinees. If they still could not pass, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!

Li Hanyi, on the other hand, had said before going up that she planned to cause trouble. He wanted to see what she would do.

Dressed in plain clothes, Li Hanyi slowly walked onto the stage. The moment she stood there, a wave of subdued exclamations rose from below. After all, both her face and figure were exceptional.

The one testing her was a Beastblood Warrior, also a young man. Most of Imperial Capital University's examiners were third- and fourth-year students, so Kou Wenhan could not help feeling his heart stir when he first saw Li Hanyi.

"Shall we begin?" Kou Wenhan held a long spear and struck what he considered a very handsome pose before speaking calmly.

"I have a question for the examiner. I can use any means necessary, correct?"

Li Hanyi did not rush to attack. Instead, she asked coldly.

The question made Kou Wenhan pause. Though puzzled, he still answered firmly.

"Of course. You may use any means to evade my attacks."

After receiving confirmation, Li Hanyi nodded lightly. She then walked to the center of the arena. After softly exhaling, she brushed her slender fingers over her ring. A streak of black light flashed, and a black priestess robe instantly covered her body, while an eerie giant scythe appeared in her hand!

With a light wave of Li Hanyi's hand, two Succubi appeared instantly, gripping long whips as they eyed the enemy before them.

"Inside a dungeon, it's the law of the jungle. So even in a test, you have to treat it like real combat—and use whatever means necessary!"

Li Hanyi narrowed her eyes. This was the way of doing things she had learned from Cao Xiaochun. It might be a little shameless, but that was still better than losing one's life someday!

"Go!"

At Li Hanyi's command, the two Succubi shot toward Kou Wenhan!

Watching the two Succubi take the initiative to attack, Kou Wenhan found it somewhat amusing. He was level 25—did these two level 8 Succubi really think they could stop him?

At that thought, Kou Wenhan shook his head. He casually lifted his spear and flicked a gust of spear wind toward the two Succubi!

Whoosh!

Eek, eek, eek!

Riiip!

The fierce gust from the spear instantly blocked the two Succubi, sending them flying from the sheer force!

But to everyone's surprise, the spear wind was too violent and shattered the Succubi's cloaks. They had already been scantily clad to begin with, and for a moment, there was an endless springtime view!

"Damn, the proctor didn't do that on purpose, did he?"

"Tsk, Succubi really are wickedly evil!"

"So the examiner is one of us after all!"

Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, Kou Wenhan's face reddened. After years of battling through dungeons, when had he ever seen a scene like this?

The students' chatter below threw his mind into even greater disarray, leaving him feeling rather embarrassed.

"Don't talk nonsense! I didn't do anything! This was an accident!"

Unable to endure the discussion below any longer, Kou Wenhan turned around and defended himself.

But at that moment, a black shadow flashed before Kou Wenhan and viciously smashed three porcelain bottles!

Bang!

As the bottles shattered, thick black mist spread out. Kou Wenbin failed to notice in time and inhaled a mouthful, immediately feeling a little dizzy!

At that moment, Li Hanyi swung her massive scythe again. A burly Three-Headed Demon Tiger manifested and charged into the black mist, while the two Succubi instantly changed outfits and swept after the demon tiger!

In an instant, the sound of fists striking flesh rang out from within the black mist!
