Chapter 317 Dean Zi’s Shock (3k)
The next day.
Walking out of the temporary inn booked the previous night, the not-so-warm sunlight of December poured down from the sky. Su Jiu glanced at the crowded stream of people and felt a little helpless, so she had to call a car to take her to the entrance of Magical Capital University.
Today she had to find Dean Zi from the Medical School. Last night she had asked Bai Ming to have his girlfriend make an appointment for her in advance. As long as that potion was made, she would have one less burden.
Moreover, after Bairnis recovered, the amplification brought by her should be able to increase from five percent all-around to ten percent all-around, which is a considerable improvement. It can allow her own combat power to increase by percentage, comparable to some top-tier Battle King Level alchemical magic equipment.
The car shuttled through the streets, and soon the words “Magical Capital University” appeared in her eyes again. After getting out of the car.
Looking at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar name, Su Jiu hesitated, and her gaze fell on the familiar security booth. She chuckled and shook her head. She hadn’t even completed a semester, but there was a feeling of things changing while the people remained the same.
No one expected that in less than a semester, the girl who could only lament when facing an Advanced Stage Warrior could now fight an Initial Stage Battle King with her bare hands. If Elegy were to go all out, even an Intermediate Battle King would be defeated with regret.
She wondered how Little White was doing. She tried calling her, but it always showed that she was out of service area. According to her brother, she seemed to have gone to a major power to participate in some competition.
This silly girl…
“Hey, you there, are you from Mo University?”
Just as Su Jiu was lamenting how time flies, a rather haughty voice sounded. However, the Dragon Country language seemed a bit non-standard.
Hearing this, Su Jiu slowly turned her head to look. The people in front were wearing something like the school uniforms from Harry Potter she watched as a child. Their attire was predominantly brown and black, and they wore magic hats. They were around twenty years old, Caucasian, and quite tall.
The one who had just asked the question was the slightly freckled girl among them. Her eyes carried a hint of disdain, like someone from a big city visiting the countryside.
“So what if I am? What business do you have with me? The World Championship shouldn’t be here yet, right?” Su Jiu responded calmly. If these people didn’t have a good attitude towards her, she naturally wouldn’t indulge them.
“Good, then lead the way for us and we’ll reward you with ten thousand US dollars.” The freckled Caucasian girl still held her nose high, casually took out a bank card from her pocket with her fingers, and smiled casually.
After speaking, she looked at the somewhat strong Caucasian youth leading them, rolled her eyes, and whispered, “I don’t know why the school asked us to come here to gather information. I don’t think their school is that impressive. Like this woman in front of us, I can’t feel any External Qi on her. She’s likely still at the Advanced Stage Warrior level.”
“Mo University is, after all, a top university in the Dragon Country… No, has the top university of that year declined this much?”
Upon hearing this, the Caucasian youth wanted to say something, but after observing Su Jiu, he realized that he couldn’t feel any presence on her at all. He then said something strangely.
Su Jiu raised an eyebrow. She didn’t know which school these idiots were from to be spies, and they were even saying it openly in front of her. She then turned and walked towards the school gate, saying indifferently, “Go back wherever you came from. Mo University does not welcome you to spy on us.”
“You!”
The freckled girl’s face turned pale with anger when ignored by Su Jiu. Just as she was about to curse, she was pulled back by the strong youth. The latter showed a rather confident smile, took out an Initial Stage Magic Crystal from his pocket, and said with a faint smile, “Classmate, just take me to your hyped-up Hu Yang. Let me fight him. If I lose… this Magic Crystal is yours.”
“Not interested. With your High-Rank Battle General strength, you’ll just be giving Hu Yang a head.
Hearing the strong youth’s words, Su Jiu turned her head and looked. Seeing that it was only an Initial Stage Magic Crystal, she laughed faintly and continued to walk lightly without paying attention to him.
She truly had no time to play pretend games with these idiots. The most important thing to do now was to find Dean Zi, give him all the materials, and have him make the potion.
Then she would go to the Qi Cultivation Tower to obtain the extraordinary Dark Erosion Attribute, and she could participate in the World Championship appropriately. With her strength participating in the World Championship, getting into the top ten would be simple.
It seemed that the championship candidate had only recently entered the Battle King Level, relying on his powerful pet. Such a person couldn’t withstand even a few of her swords.
Sensing the disdain in Su Jiu’s words, which seemed to turn the tables on them, the freckled girl’s eyes twitched, and she was about to step forward to argue.
“How do you know my strength?” The strong youth grabbed the freckled girl who was about to rush out to argue with Su Jiu, looking at Su Jiu with an uncertain expression.
This Dragon Country person in front of him was too strange. He had never revealed any aura, yet he was pointed out by her. Could he, a number four seed contestant, also be noticed?
Su Jiu paused slightly, turned her head slightly, and looked diagonally at the Eyeglasses Youth behind the Strong Young Man, saying calmly, “As a mentor, you should discipline your students. This is the Dragon Country. If you offend someone you shouldn’t, be careful not to leave here alive.”
“Who is she talking to?”
The Strong Young Man and his companions were all confused. They looked around and were quite puzzled.
At this moment, the most unremarkable Eyeglasses Youth among them took off his glasses, removed his hood, stepped forward, and said slowly, “I am from the province.”
“Instructor Reid, why are you here?”
As his voice rang out, someone in the group recognized the Eyeglasses Youth’s identity. It was another girl, who covered her mouth, disbelieving that her instructor had been mixed in with the group all along.
“You have offended someone you shouldn’t have. Her strength is even greater than mine, and she is a sword cultivator.”
The instructor waved his hand, looking at Su Jiu, who had just turned away, with a solemn expression. Just now, he felt as if he had been pierced by a sharp blade, and his heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave.
He originally planned to see how these students performed, but it seemed like if he didn’t step forward, the other party would attack.
“Stronger than Instructor Reid? How is that possible! Instructor Reid, you are a Battle King Level Expert, and she’s just a student…” The freckled girl showed an expression of disbelief, then quickly remembered that he was her instructor and immediately became more respectful.
“A student? She’s probably just playing with you. Mo University is full of hidden talents. Before we came, our teacher had already told you to be humble. You’ve already made an enemy of such a strong person before even entering the school gate, which is truly regrettable.” The instructor glanced at her and sighed.
The freckled girl became like a wilted ostrich, lowering her head slightly, not daring to argue further.
After talking for a few minutes, the strong young man, seeing that the time was right, looked towards the security booth and quietly suggested to the instructor, “Let’s go ask the guard over there and see what’s going on with that girl. If she’s really a student, perhaps we can have the participants prepare more to deal with sword cultivators.”
“The probability of her being a student is almost zero. The killing intent on her body is difficult to achieve without taking lives.”
The instructor frowned slightly, then nodded, agreeing with the former’s statement. After all, they were here to gather information.
Upon receiving approval, the strong young man excitedly went to the security room and had a good chat with the old man guarding the gate. Soon, he turned back with an unprecedented look of shock on his face, muttering, “Green Campus, a freshman… When did the Dragon Country become so strong?”
Seeing his appearance, the instructor frowned, patted the former on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Calm down, what did the guard say?”
The strong young man raised his head slightly, revealing a smile uglier than crying, and said intermittently, “That girl was heading towards the Green Campus… and the Green Campus is usually where freshmen stay, unless they are students who haven’t broken through to Battle General yet. Otherwise, they will immediately transfer to the old campus in their sophomore year.”
“You mean, she’s really a freshman from this batch of Magical Capital University?” The instructor stared intently at Su Jiu, who had already disappeared, and then analyzed rationally,
“…Impossible, how can there be such a bloodthirsty feeling from a freshman? A freshman who hasn’t even revealed her true strength yet… She should be a teacher.”
The people around the instructor suddenly nodded as if they understood. This was the only explanation.
“Let’s wait a couple of days for their Dragon Country internal competition to show off their strength, and then we’ll see. If that girl is really a freshman, she will definitely go. Let’s go back first.”
After scanning the people who were still in enlightenment, the instructor sighed again and waved at them, preparing to leave.
…
In a cafeteria at the school, since it was during class time, there weren’t many people. Su Jiu ordered some stinky tofu and grilled skewers to eat.
In a moment, a figure wearing a green robe with white hair and beard slowly walked over. He looked at Su Jiu unhappily. If it weren’t for his granddaughter asking him to come out, saying someone wanted to see him, with his status, he would never have come to such a place to meet someone privately.
This person was Qin Chen, whom Su Jiu wanted to see.
Seeing Dean Zi arrive, Su Jiu also turned around slightly, showing a faint smile, and handed over a small paper bucket of meat skewers, saying softly, “Dean Zi is here? The skewers here taste quite good.”
“No… you are…”
Dean Zi originally wanted to refuse directly, but his gaze shifted slightly upwards, and then he looked at this face with an uncertain expression. Just a few months ago, that monstrous talent appeared like a heavenly descent, sweeping across all directions, but then suddenly died on duty, and the bad news spread throughout the entire school.
The skin rot disease was resolved at the cost of her life. Tens of thousands of lives were saved, but the school motto “Worry before the world worries, and enjoy after the world enjoys” was deeply implemented.
In this era of self-interest, who would be willing to go through such a ordeal.
“I’m back.”
A faint voice echoed in the empty cafeteria, pulling Dean Zi back from his thoughts. His aged face trembled slightly, and he excitedly called out the name of the most proud student of Magical Capital in recent years.
“Welcome back, Su Jiu.”
