Chapter 100

100. Chapter 100: White Moonlight (In honor of Alliance Leader adrianfufu)

Maple Leaf City.

Happy Home Residential Complex.

Lan Fei was the first to get out of the car and open the door.

Fang Xing stepped out, looking at the building where his home was located, feeling as if a lifetime had passed.

Spending these past few days with Lan Fei had, in a way, fulfilled a small dream of the original owner.

One had to admit, Lan Fei's proportions were truly exceptional, and he quite enjoyed learning foreign languages from Teacher Lan Fei.

"Lan Fei..."

At this moment, Fang Xing looked at Lan Fei: "My room here is only big enough for me to live in."

"Please do not worry, Student Fang. Our Giant God Group has already purchased the property rights for this entire complex. If you like, it can be transferred to your name at any time..."

Lan Fei adjusted her glasses: "I can live next door to you or on the floor above or below; I absolutely will not disturb you."

"What a thoughtful arrangement."

Fang Xing was somewhat speechless. Although he had checked on the way here and knew that the 'Giant God Group' was a federal energy giant with immense influence—and was even rumored to control the vast organization known as the 'Martial Artist Association'—

he hadn't expected that a mere Yin Huanzhen would have such great power.

However, compared to kidnapping Lan Fei to be a secretary, buying a residential complex was truly nothing.

"By the way, Lan Fei, why did you agree to work for the Giant God Group?"

Fang Xing was a bit curious.

Lan Fei's original life should have been quite good.

"For higher pursuits, I suppose... The company promised to provide me with resources to break through to the External Landscape Realm, as well as advanced genetic surgery..."

Lan Fei smiled and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear: "And... I am also very interested in you, Student Fang. Among the students I have taught, you have the best talent and the greatest fame..."

"I see."

Fang Xing nodded, returned to his home, and closed the door.

He took out his phone and contacted the people who had sent him messages one by one.

Such as Gu Yun, Xia Long, Principal Lu Guangming, Ouyang Qianqian, and so on...

September 1st.

The sky was clear and bright, without a single cloud.

Fang Xing grabbed his schoolbag and walked out the door.

Lan Fei was already waiting at the entrance, with a small hovering car parked beside her: "Good morning. Would you like a ride?"

"No need. If I go to school in your car, those boys will be jealous to death..."

Fang Xing shook his head.

He actually didn't like being famous; he just liked to cultivate in silence.

Walking along the riverside street again, he felt a little regretful that he hadn't seen Jing Xia walking her dog.

Walking to the end of the road, he arrived at Yucai High School.

Fang Xing became the focus of everyone's attention once again. Whether they were first-year, second-year, or third-year students, they all cast various gazes his way.

Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for this long ago. He walked calmly into the school gate and came before a second-year student who still looked quite childish: "How was your summer vacation?"

"It was alright..."

Gu Yun looked at Fang Xing, her eyes showing a hint of frustration: "I can no longer catch up to your shadow..."

Although she had undergone grueling special training over the summer, she still hadn't broken through to the Unpolished Jade Realm.

Even if one perfected the Second Realm and achieved a flawless physique, it wasn't something one could immediately use to cultivate internal breath.

Fang Xing had known this back then, which was why he had used the 'Primordial Pill' to break through directly.

It was normal for Gu Yun to be stuck at this step for now.

Under normal circumstances, she still had two full years in her second and third years to break through. She would definitely be able to achieve the Third Martial Realm before the college entrance exam!

By then, combined with her academic grades, martial arts progress, and so on... there was great hope for getting into a university, or even sprinting for a top-tier one!

As for super-top-tier? There was basically no hope.

But Gu Yun still felt that her aptitude was inferior, and compared to Fang Xing, she felt like a piece of firewood.

"I have what I have today entirely because of my own unremitting efforts. Keep it up!"

Fang Xing patted Gu Yun's pumpkin-shaped head and smiled gently.

He remembered that he owed Gu Yun a favor from when he was dumping cultivation items on the black market, so he said: "If you have time this semester, I can tutor you..."

After saying goodbye to Gu Yun, he arrived at his classroom and looked at the sign for Class 3 (2), feeling quite sentimental.

"Fang Xing is here?"

As he walked into the classroom, many students screamed immediately.

Qian Xun's face turned even redder as she came over holding a black notebook: "Fang Xing, you're amazing! Can I have your autograph?"

"Sure. But why are there so many?"

Fang Xing nodded, then looked at the stack of autograph papers Qian Xun handed him, feeling like he had set himself up.

He scanned the room and noticed that Ouyang Qianqian and Bai Lang had also gathered around. But the classroom would forever be missing Liu Wei and Bai Lianyi.

Before class started, Fang Xing realized that Ke Er wasn't there either.

"What happened to Ke Er?"

Thinking of this, he asked Bai Lang, who was next to him.

"Ke Er's family had a change in circumstances, his grades plummeted, and on top of that, the teachers determined he had lost his potential. He was disheartened, chose to drop out in his third year, and enlisted directly..."

Bai Lang seemed to have been quite close to Ke Er before and knew where he had gone.

"Enlisting in the third year? Hmm... as long as you're an adult, it's fine." Thinking of his own past birthday, Fang Xing sighed a little.

"Ke Er is actually doing quite well. It's said his family knows someone in the conscription department and knew the space forces happened to have a few vacancies here, so he filled in immediately... They say the benefits are pretty good, at least he doesn't have to go to the Secret Realm troops."

When Bai Lang mentioned the Secret Realm troops, he also felt a chill. After all, having learned so much about the Secret Realm in his second year, they all knew how terrifying those troops were!

Not only was the fighting frequent, but more importantly, there was no support from technological weapons, and one had to face Evil Deity followers who were generally a major level higher than themselves!

The only good news was that the Federation, through its research on spatial bubbles, had suppressed the extraterrestrial Evil Deities on the other side in terms of the 'quantity' rule, so they could hold an advantage in numbers.

"Being able to go to the space forces, maybe he can retire safely without ever experiencing a war. That's indeed quite good..."

"Not only that, it's said Qian Xun's family is trying to find a way for her to take the exam for the Public Security Bureau, directly avoiding military service..."

"Lilith's family connections are a bit narrower, so she can only try to take the exam for the Prevention Bureau, but the Prevention Bureau has to deal with Evil Deity followers, which is much more dangerous..."

Fang Xing nodded, only able to say that children in the interstellar era were quite precocious.

By the third year, everyone was intentionally looking for a way out.

Especially those who had no hope of getting into university.

Ring-a-ling!

Just then, the class bell rang.

A middle-aged teacher wearing black-rimmed glasses, looking to be in his forties or fifties with white hair on his head, appeared: "Hello, students. I am your third-year liberal arts teacher, surnamed Xu..."

"What's going on? Where is Teacher Lan Fei?"

Bai Lang immediately let out a wail.

"Teacher Lan Fei has resigned from her teaching position due to personal reasons..." Teacher Xu answered matter-of-factly: "Alright, students, let's begin class. Please turn your textbooks to..."

After a day of dry and tedious classes, Fang Xing went directly to find Xia Long.

Xia Long lived on campus in a two-story villa.

When Fang Xing walked inside, he saw Xia Long fiddling with a long spear.

This spear was forged entirely from a type of alloy, emitting a bronze luster, and there were deep blood grooves on the spearhead, inside of which were many dark-colored bloodstains and grime...

Boom!

His spear thrust out like a dragon, and that sharp, piercing sensation was not a bit inferior to the Rank 2 spiritual weapon, the Azure Rainbow Sword!

Crack!

Silver-white electric light had gathered in the surroundings at some unknown time, making the vicinity look like a forest of silver-white thunder.

Time passed, and Xia Long retracted his spear and stood still: "Having watched for so long, how much have you learned?"

"Teacher, this spear technique is definitely S-rank!"

Fang Xing affirmed.

"Hehe, back then, relying on this spear technique, I killed eighteen high-level servants in the Secret Realm in a row, and finally, together with my comrades, surrounded and killed that low-level follower-level 'Eye of the Moon'..."

Xia Long seemed to think of something, and his original passion turned entirely into a low mood: "It was also in that battle that I was wounded and retired... Wounds on the body are easy to heal, but flaws in the soul are very difficult."

"Teacher, you are a natural human, did you also go to the Secret Realm?" Fang Xing asked a question.

"What? Do you think the Secret Realm troops are all cannon fodder?" Xia Long glanced sideways at this cyborg student: "There are many martial arts geniuses who volunteer to join the Secret Realm troops to hone their own martial arts in bloody battles. This is also for the sake of the human race's overall situation... If the defense line of the imaginary space were just for show, do you think there could still be such a stable environment in the rear?"

"That's true."

o￠O

Fang Xing nodded: "By the way, Teacher, I want to talk about the special recruitment."

Whoosh!

Xia Long casually threw the bronze spear. The spear darted out like a dragon, plunging into a metal wall nearby. The entire spearhead was inserted directly into it, with only the shaft continuing to tremble constantly.

Every time it trembled, the wind it brought made Fang Xing's expression solemn.

"Special recruitment... Ever since you became famous in the Hundred Star Joint Exam, many universities have issued special recruitment invitations... Of course, this mainly depends on your wishes."

Xia Long picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his face: "Currently, the best are the three top-tier institutions—Five Peaks University, Star River Academy, and White Tower University."

"Among them, Five Peaks University focuses mainly on cultivating martial artists. Its Martial Arts Department is the strongest, and the conditions they offer are the best. You don't need to take the college entrance exam; they will admit you directly, and there is a scholarship."

Xia Long said: "Star River Academy's Mecha Department is the strongest, but its Martial Arts Department is not weak either. They value liberal arts grades more; you need to take the college entrance exam, and you can be admitted once your grades reach a certain score..."

"Finally, White Tower University... This university mainly researches supernatural powers, secret arts, cosmic wonders, and other messy things. There isn't much difference between the departments, but it's a top-tier one nonetheless. You need to pass their exclusive test before they decide on the benefits."

As for second-tier colleges like Gem Academy, Xia Long didn't even mention them.

Although, for the former Yucai High School, being able to produce one university student was something they could brag about for a long time...

"Are there no super-top-tier universities?"

Fang Xing sighed.

"Who do you think you are?" Xia Long sneered: "There are only three super-top-tier ones: Blue Star University, Holy Armor University, and Nine Swords Academy. The admission requirements for each one get higher every year. In terms of the Martial Arts Department, I'm afraid the Fourth Martial Realm is the threshold for participating in the school exam this year!"
