Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 53 The dust has settled, time to return to the mist!

After Jiang Feng and the others left, Ye Weiwei stood alone on the platform and waited for a long time before the person she was waiting for finally arrived.

It is a forest deer.

Just like before, she will take the airship back to Lancheng two days later, so she will not travel with Jiang Feng and the others.

"What do you want from me?" Lin Lu asked.

The departure time for all trains had passed, and apart from the two women, the huge platform was completely empty.

She naturally didn't need to pretend.

Ye Weiwei slowly raised her head, her dark eyes as calm as an unfathomable sea. She cut to the chase, "Did you kill Fang Xiao?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lu raised an eyebrow.

That night at the black market, I clearly had that person erase all traces. Even a martial artist at the Meridian Opening Realm probably wouldn't be able to detect any traces. So how did Ye Weiwei know?

"Giggle."

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Lu smiled sweetly. She wasn't afraid that the person in front of her was trying to trick her, and she directly admitted it.

"I guess so. What, you've barely even met him a few times? Are you planning to avenge him?"

Ye Weiwei shook her head expressionlessly. "I'm just advising you, don't..."

Before she could finish speaking, her pupils suddenly contracted.

A long black needle, constructed from some unknown martial art technique, hovered silently less than half an inch from her brow.

"You really talk a lot of nonsense." Lin Lu's smile had vanished, replaced by impatience.

But only a moment later, she laughed again.

"Hehe, I was wondering, if I just killed you right here and now, would Jiang Feng regret getting on this train today?"

Faced with this imminent threat, Ye Weiwei had regained her composure. She whispered, "You can't kill me."

Ye Weiwei's words made Lin Lu's smile falter. The long black needle went limp and fell into Ye Weiwei's hand, turning into a wisp of black ash.

"You've been lying low in Donglin for years, all for the sake of the Martial King's relics soon. If that's the case, then your own strength couldn't possibly have reached the Qi and Blood Realm..."

Ye Weiwei's eyes were cold. "That means that no one can stop me from killing you now."

As Ye Weiwei spoke, there was no fluctuation around her, but Lin Lu seemed to be on high alert. Black shadows spread out from around her like waves, instantly engulfing her.

In an instant, Lin Lu's figure had disappeared.

"Tch." Watching the other person flee in disarray, Ye Weiwei shook her head with amusement. "So easily scared, huh..."

........

On the express-lift train bound for Lancheng.

A massive train roared across the sky, with the magnificent ruins of King Wu lying below. Despite the ruins being so close, the people present had lost interest in discussing them.

Inside the oppressive private room, everyone remained silent.

Yuan Guannan held his head in his hands, propped himself up on the table in front of him, his vision was filled with white, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Having just learned the news, Luo Feng, who had never experienced it firsthand, also looked sad. Although he and Fang Xiao were not as close as Yuan Guannan, they were classmates who had lived together for two years, so it was inevitable that he felt some grief.

Sun Hao looked out the window, his expression indifferent, lost in thought.

"Teacher Sun," Jiang Feng, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke after a long pause, "The grandmaster that Xue Ya mentioned yesterday..."

Jiang Feng's call snapped Sun Hao out of his grief. He gave a bitter smile and waved his hand.

"From now on, you don't need to call me 'teacher' anymore... I think I'll probably be fired when I get back to Lancheng..."

Beside them, Luo Feng and the weeping Yuan Guannan exchanged glances, opening their mouths but unsure what to say.

Jiang Feng also let out a long sigh.

High school is the starting point for all young martial artists, so the Southern Star Region provides them with the utmost protection and resources.

Just like the outer layer of the Martial King's ruins, only high school students are allowed to participate in the training; other rogue cultivators at the Body Tempering Realm are not allowed to enter.

In such an environment, Sun Hao, as the teacher in charge, actually caused a student to die in the underground black market due to his own negligence. This is something that No. 13 Middle School absolutely cannot tolerate.

Not to mention that Fang Xiao's parents are law enforcement officers in the Shangcheng District.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Overnight, Sun Hao seemed to have become much more open-minded. "If I stop being a teacher in the special class, I can go home and continue running my martial arts school. You guys can come for training for free."

Sun Hao patted Luo Feng's shoulder casually, then looked at Jiang Feng and Yuan Guannan, frowning slightly. "As for the Grandmaster you mentioned earlier... sigh."

He let out a long sigh, as if all his bones had been drained away. "If Xue Ya was just trying to unsettle me, then so be it. But if Fang Xiao really did offend a grandmaster by some unforeseen reason, then..."

He gave a wry smile and didn't continue speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

If it was truly the work of a Grandmaster, then Fang Xiao's death was in vain. Forget about seeking justice; even the slightest hint of resentment could bring annihilation to the Fang family, and even to No. 13 Middle School!

Yuan Guannan wiped away his tears, memories flashing through his mind. A hint of confusion appeared on his handsome face. "What was Fang Xiao doing at the street corner that day? He was perfectly fine just a second ago..."

Silence fell over the room; no one could answer his question.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Seeing the atmosphere, Sun Hao forced a smile.

"Since I probably won't be leading you guys anymore, let's take advantage of the little time we have now to talk in advance about the monthly exam that's coming up in less than a week after we return to Lancheng."

"I hope you are well prepared."

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was indeed drawn to it.

Sun Hao's voice slowly rang out.

"Unlike previous years, this monthly exam is not only about how the school allocates resources to each of you, but more importantly... it is also related to the remains of King Wu at Donglin in less than two months."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback and sighed deeply.

He remembered that just over half a month ago, Li Wei had talked to him about this matter, but at the time he did not take it seriously, thinking that with his first level of Body Tempering, his mortal aptitude was not enough to be able to touch such a treasure land.

But now... in just over ten days, he has advanced from the first level of Body Tempering to the fifth level of Body Tempering, and even his martial arts aptitude has jumped two levels to reach the terrifying Spirit Bone!

If I were to encounter a genius like Ding Xiuqi now, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to put up a fight.

Instead... we are sure to win!

We will win!

Unaware of Jiang Feng's thoughts, Sun Hao continued, "This time, our No. 13 Middle School has been allocated a total of 20 spots. With your abilities, I think it won't be difficult for you to get one. So, what I want to tell you is something else."

"Hmm?" Jiang Feng and the others all looked at Sun Hao.

"This is inside information." Sun Hao met everyone's gaze and gave an awkward smile.

"Because this monthly assessment is related to the legacy of King Wu, the school has decided to add two new tests in addition to the original three tests."

"The original three tests were strength test, aptitude test, and combat test."

"The two newly added tests are..."

Sun Hao's voice rang in everyone's ears along with the train's whistle...

Before they knew it, a day had passed, and soon everyone returned to Lan City.
