Chapter 199: The Mysterious Yellow Sands Outside Shenglong Village

"Li Chaoran, don't call us so familiarly!"

Zhu Zhu Yanhua gave Li Chaoran a side-eye.

"Exactly! Li Chaoran, we're not that close to you—don't keep calling 'Qingqing this, Qingqing that'!"

After seeing that the newcomer was Li Chaoran.

Liu Liu Qingqing also gave him a side-eye.

"Li Chaoran!"

He was classmates with both Liu Liu Qingqing and Zhu Zhu Yanhua.

More precisely, they were in the same class.

The Tianwu Academy had over a million students.

Many elite students came from every city in the Federation.

They were merely ordinary ones among those elites.

Li Chaoran wasn't just their companion.

He also lived in Ancient Zhoucheng, just like them.

What troubled Liu Liu Qingqing most was.

This guy acted like a fly.

He kept making them feel like they were close to him.

Clearly!

This guy was trying to court them.

"Oh come on, don't talk like that, Qingqing!"

"We're family friends, aren't we? Is our bond really that weak?"

Seeing the two girls' side-eyes.

Li Chaoran laughed.

He completely ignored their side-eyes.

He still walked over with a beaming smile.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Li Chaoran still so shameless,

Liu Liu Qingqing let out a cold snort.

Zhu Zhu Yanhua rolled her eyes again. "What are you two discussing here?"

"I think I heard you talking about Yuli—how's it going? What level have you both reached?" Li Chaoran grinned with his self-satisfied smile.

"Oh my, you've both reached Platinum Tier Yuli already!" "Amazing, Qingqing, Xiao Hua!"

Li Chaoran stared at Liu Liu Qingqing and Zhu Zhu Yanhua with exaggerated astonishment.

To be honest, Li Chaoran was genuinely surprised.

To reach this level at their age,

even in this place teeming with Tianwu Academy elites,

was already impressive.

At this level, they were already among the top beast-tamers in their class.

"But I've got good news for you two—I've reached Platinum Tier 3!"

Before Liu Liu Qingqing and Zhu Zhu Yanhua could speak,

Li Chaoran flashed a smug grin.

As if to say: "Well? Impressed?"

"Come on, praise me!" "Platinum Tier 3!" Hearing Li Chaoran's words,

Liu Liu Qingqing and Zhu Zhu Yanhua were both startled.

After reaching Platinum Tier, advancement became extremely difficult.

It required vast quantities of spirit fruits, or consuming the flesh and blood of powerful phantom beasts.

Each level-up at Platinum Tier could take months—even one or two years.

But!

Seeing Li Chaoran's smug expression,

Zhu Zhu Yanhua and Liu Liu Qingqing had no intention of letting him enjoy his triumph. "Platinum Tier 3?"

"That's not that impressive!" Liu Liu Qingqing sneered.

"Exactly! We know someone your age who's already reached Diamond Tier—you're way behind!" Zhu Zhu Yanhua echoed Liu Liu Qingqing.

"Exactly! Not only is he stronger than you, he's also way handsomer!" Liu Liu Qingqing couldn't help thinking of Chen Xuan's unique aura.

Chen Xuan's image surfaced in her mind.

Her cheeks flushed slightly.

Indeed, Chen Xuan's aura and appearance together were far more attractive than Li Chaoran's. "Diamond Tier?"

"Qingqing, Xiao Hua, you're exaggerating!"

"Even the most talented seniors in our academy who've reached this level are several years older than us!" "That's impossible!" Li Chaoran disbelieved. "As for looks?"

"There are men handsomer than me? Hey, Qingqing, are you jealous I'm this good-looking?" "I can fix other flaws, but how do I fix being handsome?" Li Chaoran said with total self-admiration. "Crazy!"

"Qingqing, let's ignore him and go!" While Li Chaoran was gloating,

the two girls rolled their eyes and walked far away.

Only Li Chaoran remained behind, roaring in place.

"Hey, why don't you two say it—who reached Diamond rank at such a young age!" "And you say he's more handsome than me—I don't buy it!" Li Chaoran shouted.

Unfortunately, Liu Qingqing and Zhu Yan paid him no attention.

They knew the reason Chen Xuan stayed in that remote village.
