Star Demon

Chen Hua's mind was a little muddled.

A guy who cultivated the basic Iron Cloth Shirt had carried the three-year mock exam.

That was right. He already knew that Li Qiuchuan had passed the assessment too.

After receiving the report, he had deliberately watched the assessment footage.

It was all bulldozing and smashing through, including the mock college entrance exam!

If that had been all, it would have been fine. But two martial artists who had completed the first-year college entrance exam and were at the early Nebula stage...

Had gotten beaten so badly that they had come to him to demand justice!

Looking at the miserable state of the two of them, Chen Hua suddenly wanted to slap them to death.

Two lousy students!

They had actually been beaten by a guy who had not even enrolled yet.

And they still had the face to come to him?

"Zhang Tao, the first time you fought him, you were beaten into serious injury."

Chen Hua said flatly, "Back then, why didn't you report him?"

"I, I..."

Zhang Tao opened his mouth, cursing inwardly. He had been sold out.

Gu Xiaoyu!

Only Gu Xiaoyu knew what had happened that night.

As for the person who had beaten them, there was no way he would jump out and report it, ruining his own good thing.

"The two of you couldn't beat him even together? No matter how powerful Iron Cloth Shirt is, he's still only at the peak of Star Qi!"

Chen Hua snapped angrily, "The two of you don't cultivate properly on ordinary days. You've completely disgraced the martial arts school!"

The two of them froze slightly, then hurriedly said, "Principal, you have to stand up for us! Acting like this, that guy is showing contempt for the martial arts school."

"Right, right, he's showing contempt for the martial arts school. He must be punished severely."

Ji Ziling acted as if this had nothing to do with her and fanned the flames from the side. "The martial arts school can't take someone like that. I'll make a call and have him go to Kexiang. In the future, Kexiang's junior girls..."

Chen Hua: "..."

Could you not talk?

So that was what you were thinking—using him to get close to Kexiang's female students?

I will absolutely not let you have your way!

If Kexiang found out about this, wouldn't they laugh themselves silly?

The two schools were enemies. If Kexiang found out about this, they would definitely beg Jiang Changkong to go over, and take the opportunity to strike at the martial arts school.

"You two, get out."

Chen Hua snorted coldly. A streak of golden Star Power flew out and directly swept the two of them outside, shutting the door along with it.

Ji Ziling looked at him eagerly. "Uncle, punish him."

"Heh, actually, I knew about this long ago."

Chen Hua's cold expression changed, replaced by the confidence of someone with a pearl of wisdom in hand and everything under control. "I just wanted to see that little fellow's limits."

"With eyes as sharp as mine, how could I fail to notice a top student like that?"

Ji Ziling: "..."

Those words sounded a little familiar.

Chen Hua was extremely calm, not blushing in the slightest. "All right, call him. Tell him to wait at home. I'll send him his admission notice tomorrow."

Ji Ziling was somewhat disappointed. She would no longer be able to get in touch with Kexiang's junior girls.

If she had known, she would have helped plead for him. Maybe that would have provoked Chen Hua a little.

Sigh. Who told Jiang Changkong to be her brother? For the sake of loyalty.

She stood up, preparing to leave. She had not brought her phone. She had left it in the dorm.

"Senior."

Just as she opened the door, Li Qiuchuan ran over with an anxious expression. "You really are here."

"What are you doing here? This has nothing to do with you."

As Ji Ziling spoke, she signaled with her eyes.

The matter had been exposed. Instead of hiding, you still dared to run here?

Li Qiuchuan did not understand her look and said, "Senior, Changkong called. He told you to check your phone quickly. Something huge has happened."

"Oh, something huge." Ji Ziling curled her lip. This matter had been exposed, so it was indeed something huge.

"It concerns the safety of Ying Yanxue and Zhou Wen's lives. That's what Changkong said."

Li Qiuchuan saw that he was taking it lightly and said anxiously.

"What?" Ji Ziling's expression changed, and she rushed back to the dormitory at once.

"What's going on?" Chen Hua walked out with a dark expression. How had this come to involve Ying Yanxue and Zhou Wen's safety?

Ji Ziling did not dare delay. Golden light flashed over her body, and in almost an instant, she vanished from the office doorway.

Chen Hua could not worry about asking more and hurried after her.

Li Qiuchuan froze for a moment, then followed.

Chen Hua arrived at the dormitory first. Ji Ziling was not much slower. She charged into the room and picked up her phone.

"What's going on?" Chen Hua stood outside the door and did not go in.

"Something happened. Yanxue, Zhou Wen, and the others are surrounded by Star Demons. I didn't get the information right away."

Ji Ziling's face was grim. "Jiang Changkong has gone ahead first."

"Jiang Changkong?" Chen Hua frowned.

"That top student you so keenly spotted."

Ji Ziling said irritably, "This involves Nebula Level Star Demons. Changkong isn't strong enough. I have to hurry over."

With that, Ji Ziling had already stepped away.

"That Jiang Changkong has some nerve. He's only at the peak of star energy, and he dares rush out there?"

Chen Hua was somewhat angry, but he shouted at Ji Ziling's retreating back, "Make sure you bring them all back safely."

At five in the morning, the sky was already growing dimly bright.

The wild grass outside the city was extremely lush, almost all of it two meters tall.

Fortunately, the ones leading the way were veterans with ample experience. They took a cleared path, where the Star Demons nearby were the fewest.

The four of them ran at eighty percent of their strength. After nearly half an hour, they had already covered an unknown distance.

They did not encounter a single Star Demon.

Liu Feng and the other two stopped, panting slightly. "Rest for a bit and recover your stamina."

Although Jiang Changkong was anxious, he also knew stamina was very important. They could face danger at any moment, so he said nothing.

He did not know whether Ji Ziling had checked her phone.

If she had not, then even if the four of them went, they would only be able to hold out a little longer.

After resting for a short while, the four of them continued on their way.

The ground ahead was flat, making travel fairly easy.

Another half an hour passed, and Liu Feng and the other two suddenly stopped, gesturing for silence.

The three of them surrounded Jiang Changkong in the middle, instinctively assuming that this student, who had not even brought a weapon, did not have much strength.

Rustle, rustle.

The wild grass swayed, and black light mixed with blue light flashed within the grass.

The three exchanged a glance. Liu Feng stepped forward and charged straight over. His longsword left its sheath, and a red sword beam slashed out.

Scorching sparks flew in all directions as the red sword beam struck the black and blue lights.

Pfft.

It easily tore through the two rays of light. The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh rang out, and blood sprayed forth.

Roar.

A low cry mixed with pain rang out. A hideous Star Demon covered in black scales, with its back full of barbs and its face pitted and uneven, charged out.

Zhang Mo and Xiao Hu rushed out at once. Their two longswords glowed with golden light and pierced straight through the Star Demon's body.

They pinned it firmly to the ground. The Star Demon struggled for a moment, then went still.

"A mid-stage star energy Star Demon."

Liu Feng skillfully stabbed his sword into the Star Demon's abdomen and dug out a Star Stone. "First-rank mid-grade."

Within the Star Stone, there were sparse black and blue specks of light, while most of it was hazy.

"I'll hold on to this Star Stone for now?" Liu Feng looked at Jiang Changkong and asked.

"You killed it, so it's yours." Jiang Changkong waved his hand. "Half of my gains go to you. What you kill naturally belongs to you."

Liu Feng shook his head. "You still get a share. During the period of our employment, all gains count as yours."

"No need. Getting there is more important." Jiang Changkong said firmly.

He did not want conflict to arise over such a small Star Stone.

Besides, that Star Demon corpse also had essence, energy, and spirit: +50!

Although it was not as good as a Star Stone, it was still quite a lot.

The three said no more, put away the Star Stone, and set off again. Jiang Changkong extracted the essence, energy, and spirit.
