Chapter 225: Chapter 173: Competition Gate World
Fang Xiu didn’t have to wait long before Chu Qingxue drove over.
This time, the car was different from the last.
"Get in!"
A smile spread across Chu Qingxue’s face when she saw Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu didn’t hesitate.
He had just instructed the invisible Kajimi to simply fly and follow the car.
"Why didn’t you drive the other one?"
Fang Xiu was a little curious.
That one was the pinnacle of self-driving cars, after all.
But this one required a driver.
"That one... I don’t really like it!"
Chu Qingxue recalled the awkward moment they had lain down side-by-side that day.
’Who on earth designed a car like this?’
That was why she didn’t dare drive that car today.
"I quite liked it, actually!"
Fang Xiu said with a slight smile.
They chatted for a bit more.
Then he got a call from Luo Xing.
Luo Xing told him he had already arrived at the designated Gate World.
Fang Xiu and Chu Qingxue still had some distance to cover.
Fortunately, they didn’t run into any trouble along the way.
The training Gate World was near Zongheng University.
But it didn’t belong to Zongheng University.
"Was this Gate World here before?"
Fang Xiu frowned.
’I don’t remember seeing a Gate World here before.’
"Probably not. I remember checking all the Gate Worlds near Zongheng University before, but none of them were below Level 30. This one’s BOSS, however, seems to be Level 20."
Chu Qingxue explained.
She had also applied to Zongheng University.
Her reason was simple and very similar to Fang Xiu’s—it wasn’t far from home.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to just drive over this morning.
"That’s strange, then. How could a Level 20 Gate World suddenly appear, specifically for our competition!"
Fang Xiu found it strange.
’Did this Gate World just suddenly appear?’
"It’s not impossible. After all, Gate Worlds appear from time to time. Some even appear inside people’s homes!"
Chu Qingxue explained.
Fang Xiu: ...
’Well, what do you know. One appeared in my own house, but no one knows about it yet.’
’Why is Chu Qingxue suddenly bringing this up?’
’Did she discover something?’
"A while ago, a Gate World also appeared inside Zongheng University, which delayed the start of the school year. So it’s perfectly normal for a Level 20 Gate World to show up nearby!"
Chu Qingxue said.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "That’s true!"
The appearance of one Gate World could be a coincidence.
But two Gate Worlds appearing not far from each other might not be a coincidence.
But the Gate World was there.
That was a fact. No matter how unbelievable, it was a real, existing Gate World.
The two chatted away and soon arrived at the designated location.
A lot of people were already there.
Every one of them was an Awakened, and an A Level or higher at that.
Gathered here were the most gifted and mentally tough Awakened from high schools all across the country.
Here, no one looked down on anyone else, because they all knew that no one here was to be underestimated.
Almost everyone was talking and laughing, seemingly not treating this competition as a rivalry.
Of course, this competition was just about selecting people.
Everyone just needed to perform well, and that would be enough.
When Fang Xiu’s car stopped, it attracted a lot of attention.
They were curious about which school the newcomers were from.
And when Fang Xiu and Chu Qingxue stepped out, everyone was stunned.
Men and women alike.
The men were in awe of Chu Qingxue’s beauty.
The women, meanwhile, were mesmerized by Fang Xiu’s good looks.
The two of them walking together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, instantly stole the show.
"What a gorgeous young lady!"
"That guy is so handsome! He’s totally my type!"
"Who are they? Does anyone know them? Hook us up!"
"Damn, I know that girl. She’s from Qingzhou City First High School. Her name is Chu Qingxue. She has an S Level Talent, an Ice Mage, and I heard she’s already reached Level 20!"
"She’s that strong?"
At this moment, many people were shocked by Chu Qingxue’s power.
So beautiful, so talented, and so strong.
That was definitely an attractive combination.
"Then that guy must be from Qingzhou City First High School too, right?"
At this point, someone grew curious about Fang Xiu.
After all, with looks like that, someone was bound to ask about his strength.
"That guy’s name is Fang Xiu!"
Just then, a heavy-set young man declared proudly.
"Fang Xiu? Why does that name sound familiar?"
"Yeah, where have I heard it before? So handsome... is he on one of the national high school ranking lists?"
"Fang Xiu? He’s *the* Fang Xiu? The SSS Level Talent Awakener, Fang Xiu the Sacrificial Master?"
"Holy crap, you mean the Fang Xiu who killed a Level 40 BOSS when he was only Level 15?"
"He’s that strong and that handsome?"
"It’s over. If those two team up, the BOSS is as good as theirs!"
"It doesn’t matter who gets the BOSS. I just want to know who’s going to be lucky enough to team up with them!"
At this, many people began to discuss it among themselves, full of curiosity.
This assessment wasn’t about who could kill the BOSS first, anyway.
With Fang Xiu around, many people had already given up hope of being the best.
But they were very curious to know who would be so lucky as to team up with Fang Xiu.
"Hehe!"
Just then, the heavy-set young man who had just spoken stepped out from the crowd.
He ran towards Fang Xiu and Chu Qingxue.
"Brother Fang! Chu Qingxue! My dear teammates, you’re finally here!"
This heavy-set young man was, of course, Luo Xing.
Only after drawing everyone’s gaze to Fang Xiu did he charge over.
