Don't Run, My Reward Points!

The entire venue fell silent once again.

The geniuses from major universities across Cloud River Province had finally witnessed the freakish strength of the Chuanbei God of Slaughter!

He had not even used any of those absurd skills from the livestream. Using only physical combat, he had defeated an level 85 SR!

The victor on the arena was arrogant, haughty, contemptuous of everyone, wildly conceited... His personality was eccentric to the extreme!

If it had been Lin Junhao, they would have refused to accept it.

But when it came to Xia Yuan, they were completely convinced.

Because he possessed strength worthy of matching them, along with extraordinary personal charisma.

He could make people sincerely submit to him!

The Contract Spirit Masters and Contract Spirits from the cities no longer dared to look down on people from regional academies...

Years of oppression and discrimination had been shattered by Xia Yuan alone at this moment.

Han Guang and the others from Chuanbei regained their confidence as well, all of them holding their heads high as they basked in his glory.

They even began to feel proud!

This was Chuanbei's God of Slaughter. Who could contend with him?

Although they had been terrified of Xia Yuan back in Chuanbei,

once they were in the province, they were fellow students. Watching Xia Yuan crush people from other places felt unbelievably satisfying!

The people from regional academies cheered as well.

At last, they could hold their heads high in the province's central region.

Lin Junhao stood there blankly, disbelief written all over his face as he muttered,

"How is this possible..."

"How can an SSR be this powerful? Even the Platinum Dragon King couldn't possibly defeat the Crimson Demon so easily!"

He had never expected the level 85 SR that the entire Chongyang Lin Family had poured its resources into cultivating to be so effortlessly crushed beneath someone's foot!

And it had happened in the physical-combat combo he was best at!

Watching Xia Yuan flaunt his might atop the arena, Lin Junhao was so furious that a metallic sweetness rose in his throat.

He could only leave in disgrace with a flick of his sleeve, though before leaving, he said in a thoroughly unconvincing tone,

"Xia Yuan..."

"Y-you just wait!"

"If the Platinum Dragon King hadn't disdained to attend this banquet, he would definitely punish you!"

Xia Yuan's gaze swept across the other city folk. Not a single person or Contract Spirit dared meet his eyes.

"No one else wants to challenge me?"

"How about this? I'll stand still and fight all of your Contract Spirits. If my feet move even one step, I lose!"

He coughed, softening his tone as he negotiated with them. "How about it?"

The God of Slaughter had gone mad again!

He wanted to trick all their Contract Spirits into going up there to die!

In an instant, the crowd scattered in all directions, fleeing the Contract Spirit Arena as though escaping for their lives and returning to the Starry Sky Banquet Hall on the top floor.

Xia Yuan waved at them, trying to keep them from leaving.

"Don't go!"

"If that won't work, I can seal my skills too!"

Watching his reward points run away one after another, Xia Yuan's heart ached terribly.

What a pity...

If he could wipe out all the Contract Spirits belonging to the Contract Spirit Masters at this banquet, the System Reward Bar would probably increase by a huge amount again...

Mo Shiyu shook her head helplessly. "Xia Yuan, are you acting crazy again? You still want to kill?"

Xia Yuan returned to his lazy demeanor and casually jumped down from the arena. "Chubby Yu, you don't understand. Do you think I'm some Contract Spirit-killing maniac? I'm just honing my techniques. Otherwise, where do you think all those skills I learned later came from?"

Mo Shiyu looked skeptical. "Really?"

Xia Yuan said, "Of course!"

Remembering Xia Yuan's physical combat from just now, Mo Shiyu was thrilled. "The Eight Gates is incredible! Now your physical combat is practically top-tier too!"

Xia Yuan smiled and headed upstairs toward the Starlit Banquet. "This is nothing yet..."

If he opened the Gate of Death and unleashed a Night Guy kick, wouldn't that girl be scared to death?

Mo Shiyu gave a light cough, puffed out her chest, and smoothed her snow-white long dress. Her bright, watery eyes blinked. "Xia Yuan, don't you think I look very different today?"

Xia Yuan turned back and looked her over a few times. "What's different, hmm? Don't tell me you're wearing thigh-highs?"

When encountering ads such as "Are you a real person?", simply ignore them and close them. Do not scan codes or send text messages!

He made as if to lift her skirt.

Mo Shiyu's pretty face flushed crimson as she hurriedly pressed both hands over her dress. "No, no! A white long dress could never be paired with black stockings!"

Xia Yuan immediately stopped paying attention to her, quickened his pace, and happily jogged off. "Food, food. I'm getting a little hungry."

Mo Shiyu was left alone in the wind, thoroughly disheveled...

Wasn't she pretty today?

Why was it so hard to get even a single compliment from her SSR...

Were thigh-highs really that appealing? He thought about them every day.

After thinking it over, Mo Shiyu felt that wearing black stockings more often in the future would not be impossible.

It was not to please Xia Yuan...

She simply felt that black stockings made her look slimmer.

Starry Sky Banquet Hall.

After the incident between Xia Yuan and Lin Junhao, the atmosphere was actually better than before.

At least the Contract Spirits and Contract Spirit Masters from the regional areas were very happy.

Xia Yuan found the buffet section and began eating to his heart's content.

His cheeks had just become stuffed full of food

when a shy, sweet voice sounded behind him.

"Brother Xia Yuan..."

"Do you remember me?"

Xia Yuan had grown used to women using such clichéd ways to strike up conversations, but when he turned around, he was surprised to find that he actually knew her.

The newcomer wore a red long dress. It should have made her look dignified and elegant, yet she exuded a sweet and adorable aura from head to toe. Her little face was full of nervousness.

She was Su Yun, whom he had previously teamed up with in a secret realm.

"Of course I remember..."

Xia Yuan swallowed the food in his mouth. Seeing this, Su Yun hurriedly held up a glass of red wine with both hands and offered it to him to wash it down.

He drained it in one gulp before continuing, "Little Sister Su Yun, you made it into the provincial competition too?"

Su Yun nodded obediently.

She had noticed Xia Yuan from the very beginning.

But there had been far too many beautiful women around him earlier, and she simply could not squeeze in. Now, she had finally found a chance to greet him!

Xia Yuan looked her up and down before casually complimenting her.

"This red outfit suits you well. It makes you look even sweeter and more delicious... cute..."

Su Yun's ears instantly turned red. "Thank you. I watched the match just now. Brother Xia Yuan, you've become even more amazing!"

Mo Shiyu had just walked over while lifting her skirt when she saw this scene.

She was furious!

She grabbed a chicken drumstick from nearby and took a vicious bite.

As though that bite had landed on Xia Yuan himself!

While eating, Xia Yuan pondered,

"I wonder whether tomorrow's provincial competition will be another arena match?"

To put it bluntly, he wanted to earn System Reward Points.

Su Yun glanced around, then leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, her breath fragrant.

"I have some inside information."

"This year's provincial competition will be different from before. We may be competing over how quickly we can clear dungeons!"

"In other words, the slots for the national competition will be decided by dungeon speed-clear times."

Xia Yuan was slightly surprised.

What a coincidence. Speed-clearing dungeons was exactly what he liked best.

Not long ago, he had cleared a Five-Star Dungeon in under five minutes.

Fine, fine...

Even if he could not kill Contract Spirits, killing monsters could still build up the System Reward Bar. That was acceptable too.

Mo Shiyu walked over and unexpectedly squeezed herself between the two of them, smiling without really smiling.

"Isn't this classmate Su Yun?"

"What a coincidence."

"By the way, what secret little conversation are you two having?"
