Chapter 178: Chapter 147: Very Bold, and Very Brave Too
’You’re actually relieved?’
’Have you all gone mad?’
"Mm!"
Yue Tianrui nodded slightly.
He seemed to like Fang Xiu’s answer.
This left Fang Xiu feeling even more speechless.
’Just as I thought, the headmaster is happy.’
"Is someone else here?"
Just then, a voice called out.
The voice sounded familiar to Fang Xiu.
He turned his head and saw a figure walking in through the main gate not far away.
It was a very familiar figure.
"Uncle Zhao?"
Fang Xiu called out as he looked at the figure.
The person was actually Zhao Yao.
Li Mu had said before that Zhao Yao and Yue Tianrui were both here.
Fang Xiu hadn’t seen Zhao Yao earlier; it turned out he had gone outside.
"Fang Xiu? What are you doing here, kid? Go back. This is no place for you!"
When Zhao Yao saw Fang Xiu, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly washed away.
He just spoke flatly.
"Uncle Zhao, I don’t want to explain everything again. The gist of it is... I want to stay here for a while, and the Vice Hall Master and the headmaster have both agreed."
Fang Xiu said with a smile.
He really didn’t want to repeat everything he’d just told Yue Tianrui to Zhao Yao.
’It’s too exhausting.’
"You... agreed?"
As Zhao Yao said this, he was looking at Yue Tianrui.
He knew that Li Mu must have brought Fang Xiu here, so asking her would have been pointless.
"Yes, you could say that."
Yue Tianrui nodded slightly. "I’ll explain it to you later."
"Alright. Since you’ve agreed, you must have your reasons. I won’t ask any more questions."
Zhao Yao knew Yue Tianrui quite well.
If Yue Tianrui could agree to it, then there must not be a problem.
Li Mu, standing to the side, was helpless.
’Is my authority as Vice Hall Master really that weak?’
But by saying that, Zhao Yao was essentially agreeing.
Fang Xiu could naturally stay.
"It’s not like my disapproval would change anything. This kid... Forget it. It’s only for a while, anyway. We’ll look after him during this time. The Vice Hall Master will be staying as well," Yue Tianrui said, not elaborating further.
Although the Demon Beast Realm might connect to this place soon, there was still some time.
’Let Fang Xiu train well during this period.’
"When the time comes, if the Demon Beast Realm’s Gate Passage connects here, the Vice Hall Master will take Fang Xiu and leave immediately," Zhao Yao said, looking at Li Mu.
Hearing this, Li Mu nodded. "Don’t worry. Fang Xiu has a bright future, and he’s also our hope. I won’t let anything happen to him."
"You’d better not!"
Zhao Yao nodded slightly.
Li Mu was a Space System expert. Getting out of here would be a matter of minutes for her.
If the Demon Beast Realm really did appear, Li Mu could get Fang Xiu away quickly.
That was why Zhao Yao was finally at ease.
"Uncle Zhao, don’t worry. You don’t know my true strength, do you? At Level 15, I killed a Level 40 BOSS. And now, I’m Level 26," Fang Xiu said, afraid that Zhao Yao would worry.
"What? You killed a Level 40 BOSS at Level 15? And you’ve reached Level 26 now?"
Zhao Yao, who had been calm just a moment ago, now had a look of utter shock on his face.
As did Yue Tianrui, who was standing beside them.
"It’s true. I can vouch for him. It was because Fang Xiu killed a Level 40 BOSS at Level 15 that he was discovered by the Awakening Hall," Li Mu said.
Almost all Awakened knew about Fang Xiu’s deeds.
But some Awakened didn’t go online much, nor did they browse the Awakened forums.
And because they were busy, they didn’t have much contact with the outside world.
Clearly, Yue Tianrui and Zhao Yao were these kinds of people.
They had to patrol this area every day to prevent the sudden appearance of the Demon Beast Realm and the danger it would cause.
Naturally, they didn’t have much time to pay attention to other things.
"I don’t know if that’s fortunate or unfortunate," Zhao Yao said helplessly.
Being discovered by the Awakening Hall definitely meant access to a lot of resources.
With Fang Xiu’s strength, he could absolutely go to a Special Gate World.
There, Fang Xiu’s power could be raised at the fastest possible rate.
Although that place also had all sorts of Demon Beasts, they were all in the very center.
At Fang Xiu’s current Level, there was no way he could reach the centermost area in the time he had.
In other words, the Special Gate World was the most suitable place for Fang Xiu.
But it was also unfortunate.
Just like now, with Fang Xiu being so strong, the Awakening Hall naturally hoped he could help them and protect humanity.
That was the unfortunate part.
"Fang Xiu, tell me about this in detail," Zhao Yao said, looking at Fang Xiu.
Yue Tianrui, standing to the side, was also very curious.
’How did Fang Xiu kill a Level 40 BOSS?’
"Mm."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly, then began, "That day, Chu Qingxue came to me, saying she couldn’t find you, Uncle Zhao..."
Fang Xiu explained the events of that day in detail to Zhao Yao and Yue Tianrui.
Of course, he still concealed the matter of Kajimi.
’Anyway, with my strength, it’s still possible to kill a Level 40 BOSS. It would just take a lot more time.’
This was a story Fang Xiu had prepared long ago.
No matter who asked, Fang Xiu would only give this one answer.
After all, the matter of Kajimi needed to be kept secret for now.
Fang Xiu couldn’t possibly reveal all his trump cards to everyone.
This was his ace in the hole, his last resort.
Even with people he was familiar with, Fang Xiu wanted to keep it to himself unless absolutely necessary.
The fewer people who knew, the better.
"So it was Chu Girl!"
Zhao Yao nodded slightly.
He hadn’t expected Chu Qingxue to encounter something like that; he had known nothing about it at all.
But being here at that time, it would have been impossible for him to rush back and rescue her in time.
"But Fang Xiu, I have a question. When you went in, the rescue team had actually already entered. Yet your speed was greater than theirs. You even killed the Level 40 BOSS before they arrived."
As expected of an educator, Yue Tianrui had a keen ear for detail.
He now looked at Fang Xiu and asked with curiosity.
"That’s right, I’ve been wanting to ask about that. How did you do it?"
Li Mu, standing to the side, had also been wanting to ask.
After all, Fang Xiu’s situation was a bit too incredible.
Previously, because she wasn’t particularly familiar with Fang Xiu yet and some things were still under investigation, Li Mu had never asked.
Now that Yue Tianrui had brought it up, Li Mu could take the opportunity to ask as well.
"Because I Sacrificed some things and gained the favor of a Space Deity, I received a Jade Token," Fang Xiu explained. "That Jade Token had the effect of locking onto a specific location and teleporting. However, it was a one-time use item. At the time, I didn’t know Chu Qingxue’s location, but I happened to hear someone say the BOSS was in the center. I asked for confirmation and then teleported directly there!"
This was another explanation Fang Xiu had prepared long ago.
After all, he had been under Invisibility when he asked. And Kajimi’s speed was so fast that Fang Xiu knew someone would definitely bring it up afterward.
So he had prepared this story in advance as well.
After hearing Fang Xiu’s words, Li Mu and the other two fell silent for a moment.
"If you don’t find my words credible, you can call a Hypnotist," Fang Xiu said seriously.
He had the Nether King’s True Eye. He could handle it even back when it was only at Level 1.
Now that it was Level 2, it was even stronger.
"No need. We believe you. We just didn’t expect you to perform another Sacrifice, and a successful one at that."
Li Mu nodded slightly.
She had read the files; past Sacrificial Masters had never been able to perform so many successful Sacrifices.
Yet Fang Xiu had performed two successful Sacrifices in just a single month.
To them, this was both incredibly brave and audacious.
’Of course, if they knew I’ve made at least fifteen Sacrifices, I wonder what expressions they’d make.’
"ROAR!"
And just at that moment, a fierce roar erupted.
Fang Xiu’s eyes followed the sound. Not far away, a vortex-like portal materialized.
Immediately after, a six-meter-tall Demon Beast appeared outside the nearby gate!
