The End

"What is it?"

Ning Yue's tone was cold. He was a little annoyed by Wan Qili's arrogant attitude.

Their homeroom teacher was usually rather stern, but there was nothing to complain about in the way he treated his students. Strictly speaking, he was a good person.

Come to think of it, if he weren't a textbook good person, who would take charge of a class of academic slackers?

Only a teacher who held little prejudice against academic slackers and could speak to them as equals could earn their respect.

If a teacher really sorted students into different ranks, the academic slackers might not be able to beat the teacher, but couldn't they still splash manure on his door?

"Junior, are you selling this Vajra Giant Ape of yours?"

Meng Tian paid no mind to Ning Yue's tone as he spoke.

Ning Yue considered it but didn't answer right away. The three seniors had shown a fairly good attitude just now.

He glanced at his homeroom teacher and saw no sign that he felt aggrieved either.

Ning Yue immediately stood up and said seriously, "Yes. How much are you offering?"

His parents' pill company also had a marketing department. From what he had seen and heard, Ning Yue had some understanding of the market.

According to the market price, a Second-Rank Realm vicious beast was worth around a hundred thousand in total. The exact price varied depending on the beast's quality and the strength of its bloodline.

Besides, the Vajra Giant Ape was over two meters tall and a huge bulk even lying down. Its entire body looked as though it had been cast from metal, and it weighed at least several thousand jin.

Without revealing his storage slots, moving such a big fellow would be a problem for Ning Yue too.

"A hundred thousand, take it or leave it," Meng Tian blurted out.

Ning Yue was just about to agree. A hundred thousand was the price he had in mind too.

Just then, his homeroom teacher gave him a meaningful look, and Ning Yue stopped himself from agreeing.

His homeroom teacher cut in. "Are you about to break through to the Fourth Rank? That makes sense. A Vajra Giant Ape can be used to refine several Gold-Swallowing Pills. You can't be far from breaking through to the Fourth-Rank Realm."

At his words, the expressions of Meng Tian and the others changed at once.

They glanced between Wan Qili and the homeroom teacher and understood why.

"Five hundred thousand. Any more than that, and we'd rather do without it."

Meng Tian spoke again.

As soon as he finished, Gao Yao and He Li nodded in agreement.

Meng Tian and the others had originally planned to use their old school ties to bring them closer, then buy the Vajra Giant Ape's corpse at the lowest possible price.

Saving several hundred thousand was no small sum for them either. Now it seemed they had failed.

At his homeroom teacher's signal, Ning Yue nodded. "All right. No buying on credit. Transfer the money now."

"Kid, don't you trust us?"

Wan Qili's tone was hostile. He glared at Ning Yue, ready to make a move.

Just then,

Rumble!

A blade beam flashed in the distance, cleaving through the sky. The group turned to look and saw a figure in the air, like a god or a demon. Wielding an enormous saber, he joined the axe-wielding grandmaster in attacking the Volcanic Giant Bull.

Already at a disadvantage, the Volcanic Giant Bull let out a mournful "Moo!" under the combined assault of the two experts and was slain on the spot.

The Volcanic Giant Bull's massive body toppled like a mountain, crushing a swath of buildings and sending countless clouds of dust into the air.

Afterward, the two Seventh-Rank grandmasters parted and flew off in different directions.

The plaza where Ning Yue and the others stood lay directly in the saber-wielding grandmaster's path.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The saber-wielding grandmaster slew vicious beasts all along his flight.

He swung his saber with his right hand, sending out blade beam after blade beam. The hundred-zhang beams plunged between buildings, slaying vicious beasts unseen.

His left hand formed a claw. With a single grab, an invisible force spread out, and he seized all the vicious beasts and pulled them into the sky.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

He clenched his hand, crushing every vicious beast into a lump of minced meat that rained down from high above.

"So strong."

He had seen those vicious beasts clearly. They were all Third Rank or above, and there was even a Sixth-Rank Realm beast among them, yet none could withstand Lei Zhan's clenching hand.

Yes, he had also gotten a clear look at the saber-wielding grandmaster. It was Lei Zhan, his father's good brother.

Suddenly, Lei Zhan seemed to notice something and flew toward Ning Yue and the others.
