Chapter 113: The Empress’s Pride

The boy was disturbed in his good deed, feeling quite annoyed. He strode forward and kicked Lin Xu hard, cursing, “Bastard, how dare you disturb me? Are you doing this on purpose? Damn it!”

With Lin Xu’s strength, he shouldn’t have been kicked by an ordinary student.

However, after being thrown by the White Snake, a mysterious force controlled his body, rendering him immobile. Even after landing, this force didn’t dissipate, leading to him being kicked.

At that moment, the boy slapped Lin Xu directly on the face. Although the slap wasn’t very damaging, it was extremely insulting, making Lin Xu’s anger almost explode.

The boy didn’t stop there, preparing to mount his horse with a spear, only to be disrupted. Enraged, he delivered another punch.

Finally, Lin Xu regained control of his body, grabbing the boy’s fist and coldly saying, “You little bastard, how dare you even hit me?”

The boy, frightened by Lin Xu’s voice, turned pale. “Dean Lin, what are you doing here?”

Lin Xu coldly replied, “You ask me? The entire Awakening Academy is under my jurisdiction. I can go wherever I want. But you, sneaking around in the middle of the night, not sleeping, what are you up to, daring to hit me?”

Having just been beaten up by the White Snake and failing to snatch the Tianshan Snow Lotus, Lin Xu was already furious. This boy showing up gave him another outlet for his anger.

He stood up directly, dragging the boy to the academic affairs office.

He was ready to teach this kid a lesson, planning to hold a school-wide meeting the next day to publicly criticize him, making sure the kid knew the consequences!

The next day, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli both looked at the Dragon Ranking. A day had passed, but their rankings not only didn’t improve but also dropped.

Especially the first-classed Hanjie, whose points had exceeded ten thousand, far surpassing Ye Xuan and Su Mengli by a large margin.

Furthermore, many other SS-class participants had also surpassed Ye Xuan and Su Mengli. They were too cautious, only accepting missions with low difficulty.

Even though Su Mengli’s talent coefficient was four times higher, she was already lagging behind on the points board.

Su Mengli frowned, “Are they all working this hard?”

Ye Xuan sighed, “Yes, they are just like us, same class of geniuses, but they are so diligent. We are too passive, being selective in our missions. Falling behind is only natural.”

From now on, the two of them needed to step up their game. Even if they couldn’t reach the top, they had to at least secure a spot in the top ten!

Su Mengli nodded slightly, clenching her fist. “I understand.”

Ye Xuan knew that Su Mengli, who was in the top ten, was working just as hard as the others. With him around in this life, Su Mengli didn’t feel much pressure.

Her goal had shifted from enhancing her strength, serving the country, and protecting humanity to cuddling and starting a family with Ye Xuan in the future.

The life tone of this genius Su Mengli had changed from defending the country to talking about love, significantly reducing her motivation compared to her previous life.

As Su Mengli finished speaking, a system prompt sounded, “Congratulations, host, triggering the mission: The Empress’s Pride.”

The Empress’s Pride: As the Empress of the Red Lotus, how could she be overshadowed by a big mudfish? Help the Red Lotus Empress climb to the top of the Dragon Ranking and receive the reward – Hammer of the Thunder God!

Hammer of the Thunder God: A weapon used by the Thunder God Sol, with its head forged from a declining star and the handle made from the wood of the World Tree. It carries the power of the Thunder God, extremely sturdy and invincible!

Seeing this reward, Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. So far, Ye Xuan didn’t have a suitable weapon.

The initial pig-slaughtering knife had long been discarded by Ye Xuan and given to Qin Heng. The sharpness of the pig-slaughtering knife was useless to Ye Xuan, who excelled in strength.

Although the subsequent Profound Iron Heavy Sword was slightly more suitable than the pig-slaughtering knife, with Ye Xuan’s increasing strength, the eighty-jin weight of the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword was negligible to him. Therefore, he rarely used weapons in combat.

Unexpectedly, triggering the Empress’s mission inadvertently led to such a fitting reward.

Ye Xuan excelled in strength, and the Hammer of the Thunder God, forged from a declining star, was extremely heavy, carrying the power of the Thunder God.

The Hammer of the Thunder God not only allowed Ye Xuan to unleash his terrifying strength but also enabled him to wield the power of the Thunder God, making it quite powerful.

Of course, the reward was indeed tempting, but the mission difficulty was not small. After all, for Ye Xuan to obtain the Hammer of the Thunder God, he had to help Su Mengli become the first on the Dragon Ranking.

Surpassing the Dragon Body Dragon Hanjie was no easy mission. Ye Xuan had to use all his trump cards!

The next morning, Ye Xuan heard that Lin Xu, who had been missing for several days, had returned. Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan immediately found Lin Xu.

“Dean Lin, where have you been these past few days?” Ye Xuan arrived at Lin Xu’s office.

Lin Xu’s Indestructible Demon Body had a strong recovery ability. Although he had been beaten by the White Snake before, there was no trace of any abnormality now.

Lin Xu replied calmly, “I went to find a way to help Senior Wang, but unfortunately, I didn’t gain anything.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan took out a bottle containing purple liquid. Then he said, “This might help Senior Wang’s injuries. Why don’t you give it a try?”

Lin Xu looked at the purple liquid, sniffed it, and asked, “Blood? Where did this blood come from?”

Ye Xuan shook his head, “You don’t need to worry about that. Anyway, it will definitely help Senior Wang’s injuries. Perhaps you can try it yourself?”

Without hesitation, Lin Xu took a sip. Although he trusted Ye Xuan, it concerned Senior Wang’s condition, so he had to test it himself.

As the purple blood entered his stomach, Lin Xu felt a strong life force spreading through his body, invigorating his spirit. His body was filled with energy, and his cells seemed more active than usual.

This state was familiar to Lin Xu. After being injured, the energy of his Indestructible Magic Body would help him recover rapidly. Although the mechanism of recovery was different from now, the physical state was quite similar.

Of course, the energy in this blood was much weaker than his Indestructible Demon Body’s ability, but it was certain that it would be helpful for Senior Wang’s injuries!

Thinking about it, Lin Xu immediately said, “Good lad! Senior Wang has a special status. If this blood can really help him a lot, I will credit you with a great merit!”

After speaking, Lin Xu took the bottle of blood and went to find Wang Wu.

Lin Xu had to see if this blood could really help Senior Wang.
