Chapter 29

Lin Moyu turned his head to look over, "Provincial Top Scholar?"

"Mhm," Xia Xue said. "If you can become the Provincial Top Scholar, you can earn many points. In Xiajing Academy, points are very useful."

"The most crucial thing is that you have a chance to join Chuangshen Academy."

Lin Moyu recalled what Ning Yiyi had said: in Xiajing Academy, points are more useful than gold coins.

Furthermore, Ning Yiyi had also mentioned Chuangshen Academy.

"Do you know anything about Chuangshen Academy?"

Lin Moyu hoped to get some information about Chuangshen Academy from Xia Xue.

Ning Yiyi had only mentioned it in passing and hadn't gone into detail.

She had also said that once he arrived at Xiajing Academy, he would naturally know.

Xia Xue curled her legs up. "I'm not very clear on the specifics either, I've only heard my dad mention it."

"Chuangshen Academy should be the most formidable academy in our Shenxia Empire."

"Xiajing Academy admits elite prodigies, while those in Chuangshen Academy are the absolute peak figures among prodigies."

"My dad said Chuangshen Academy is very hard to enter, and he said I likely have no chance."

"But I think you have a chance; you could give it a try."

"I heard that Senior Su Qianxing got into Chuangshen Academy before; he's also the only one from our Xihai City."

Xia Xue looked at Lin Moyu with dazzling bright eyes; she genuinely felt that Lin Moyu had a chance.

Lin Moyu had used an unprecedented method to take her through the Nightmare Dungeon.

It completely refreshed her perception.

She could no longer use the knowledge she had learned to compare with Lin Moyu's profession.

"If there's an opportunity, I will give it a try."

Lin Moyu said in a low voice. He definitely had to go to Xiajing Academy, as his sister, Lin Mohan, was there.

If there was an opportunity, he would also try for Chuangshen Academy.

Xia Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed towards the entrance of the Dungeon, saying, "Isn't that Gao Yang?"

It was indeed Gao Yang. He was at the Dungeon entrance, seemingly looking for a team.

Xia Xue cast a Detection Spell over, giggling, "I couldn't tell, but this big dummy is already Level 11. It's just a pity he's a Knight; it's hard for him to find a team."

Running a Dungeon requires a Knight, and a Knight of a certain level at that.

A Level 11 Knight simply couldn't tank the monsters in the Dungeon.

Even for a Normal-level Dungeon, you need at least a Level 13 Knight.

Sure enough, Gao Yang searched around but couldn't find a team, his face full of disappointment.

Lin Moyu spoke up, "Take him with us."

Xia Xue giggled, "I have no problem with that."

Chapter 39: Gao Yang, Who Is Foul-Mouthed, Asking for a Beating, and Shameless All in One

Xia Xue called Gao Yang over.

Gao Yang's eyes darted around quickly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"You two…"

Xia Xue said coldly, "Shut your foul mouth, or this young lady will tear you apart."

Xia Xue's arrogance was famous.

Only when she was alone with Lin Moyu would she restrain herself a little.

After all, Lin Moyu was even colder; if she were any more arrogant, the two of them wouldn't be able to talk at all.

Faced with Gao Yang at this moment, her spoiled young lady temper was on full display.

Gao Yang was startled, rubbing his head, "Just joking, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously."

Xia Xue said, "Stop looking for a team. Once our cooldown time ends, we'll take you to run the Dungeon."

"Before the final exam, you'll have no problem reaching Level 12."

Gao Yang let out an excited roar, "Really? You two are truly my great benefactors."

"You guys don't know, the academy I want to go to requires Level 12 to have a chance of getting in."

"You are truly good people."

Gao Yang's expression was extremely exaggerated.

Xia Xue frowned, "If you act like this again, we won't take you."

Gao Yang immediately surrendered, instantly becoming serious, "Don't worry, Young Lady Xia, I will definitely behave. If you point East, I won't go South; if you point North, I won't go East."

"What kind of nonsense is that? Shut up." Xia Xue huffed, and a fireball appeared in her palm.

If Gao Yang dared to say one more word, she would definitely smash that fireball into his face.

Gao Yang wisely shut his mouth, "I obey, I just don't know how much longer your cooldown will take."

Xia Xue calculated the time, "There are 10 hours left."

10 hours was a bit long, but Gao Yang knew that even in 10 hours, he might not be able to find a team.

"Alright, you two rest and chat well, I'll go grind some wild monsters."

"Moyu, good luck! I believe in you! Sooner or later, you'll win over Xia Xue."

After saying that, he bolted.

Xia Xue was so angry she stomped her foot, and a fireball was thrown out directly.

With a boom, the fireball exploded behind Gao Yang's butt, and some sparks splashed onto him.

"Awoo~~~"

Gao Yang screamed from the heat, clutching his butt, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xia Xue stomped her feet furiously, "This guy, his mouth is too foul, he's asking for a beating."

Lin Moyu felt the same way, but he had to admit that Gao Yang was a decent person.

When everyone else kept their distance, only Gao Yang took the initiative to come over and talk to him.

Even though his responses were minimal, Gao Yang never showed any annoyance.

Lin Moyu believed his gut feeling wasn't wrong.

Gao Yang was a sincere goofball.

10 hours later, Gao Yang joined the team.

Lin Moyu acted as the leader and entered the Nightmare-level Dungeon.

As soon as they entered the Dungeon, Gao Yang was the first to collapse in fear on the ground.

"Hey, hey, hey… Young Lady Xia, Boss Lin, why did you enter Nightmare difficulty?"

Xia Xue huffed, "Stop talking nonsense, just follow behind, you don't need to fight."

"Huh?"

Gao Yang displayed a mix of confusion, panic, fear, and various other expressions.

Xia Xue wondered if she had looked like that when she first came in.

Back then, it seemed she had also been scared out of her wits.

For the sake of his life, Gao Yang followed closely behind Xia Xue, not daring to stray a single step away.

This was Nightmare difficulty; his life would be gone with a single strike from a monster.

Ten minutes later, Gao Yang looked at the dead BOSS, still unable to close his mouth.

"This… this…"

"It's already dead?"

Xia Xue looked at him, "Can you close your mouth? You're drooling."

Gao Yang wiped the corner of his mouth, then suddenly hugged Lin Moyu's thigh, "Boss, Boss Lin, can you take me with you when you run Dungeons in the future? I'll come and be your pendant."

Xia Xue said helplessly, "Why are you so spineless? You're a Knight, can you have a bit of Knight spirit?"

Gao Yang shouted, "What's the use of Knight spirit? With Boss here, what do we need a Knight for?"

Xia Xue really couldn't do anything about him, so she simply chose to ignore him.

A faint white light flickered on Lin Moyu.

He had completed his leveling up.

At Level 16, he was fully confident of getting into Xiajing Academy.

After running the Dungeon one more time, Xia Xue would also reach Level 15, and she would have a good chance of getting into Xiajing Academy as well.

As for Gao Yang, his target was the provincial Jiangning Academy.

It was also a good institution of higher learning, with requirements much lower than Xiajing Academy.

A Level 12 Knight was already qualified.

The setting sun hung low in the west, casting long shadows over everything.

On the south city wall of Xihai City.

Several principals stood together, looking at the wild area outside the city wall.

"The children should be coming back, right?"

"Tomorrow is the day of the final exam. We told them all that they must return today."

"I don't know what the results of tomorrow's final exam will be."

"Most people should be fine; it's just a matter of which academy they get into."

"Old Lu, those two geniuses from your school, I heard their target is Xiajing Academy."

Principal Lu Yun stared into the distance without blinking, "Yes, both Moyu and Xia Xue want to get into Xiajing Academy."

"The competition at Xiajing Academy is the most intense. Based on previous years' standards, you need to be Level 15 to have a good chance, and Level 16 to guarantee success."

"It's tough."

"Level 15 still has hope, but Level 16 is rare. In our Xihai City, besides Su Qianxing, only Lin Mohan from last year reached Level 16, right?"

"I don't know if these two little ones this year have any hope."

Principal Lu Yun nodded, "Believe in them."

Lin Moyu and Xia Xue—one was Lin Mohan's younger brother, and the other was the daughter of the Xia family.

Principal Lu Yun felt that perhaps both of them could create a miracle.

Finally, someone appeared in their line of sight.

One principal said, "That's from our No. 3 High School."

Under the Detection Spell, the incoming person's level was clear at a glance.

[Xu Zhen, Level 12, Sword Fighter.]

That principal was very satisfied; Level 12 was enough to get into a fairly good institution of higher learning.

Xu Zhen was also a somewhat famous figure at No. 3 High School, known as one of the geniuses.

"My student Wan Ming from No. 2 High School has also returned."

[Wan Ming, Level 13, Eagle-Eye Archer.]

The students returned one by one, while the principals on the city wall continuously used the Detection Spell.

At this time every year, it was actually a pre-exam competition among the principals themselves.
