Mana Revival: Starting by Sacrificing the Campus Belle!

Chapter 237: Chapter 179: Fang Xiu, How About a Trade?

Inside the Gate World.

Fang Xiu and his group had already ventured deep into the Gate World.

"Brother Fang, are you really going to make us fight that Level 20 BOSS?"

The deeper they went,

the higher the Level of the Demon Beasts became.

Although there were some Level 20 Demon Beasts in the outer areas, once they reached the depths, only Level 20 Demon Beasts remained.

In the past day or so, they had encountered at least seven waves, totaling over a hundred Level 20 Demon Beasts.

However, most of those Demon Beasts had been dealt with by Fang Xiu and Chu Qingxue.

Luo Xing and the others had barely lifted a finger.

Now that they had arrived in the depths of the Gate World, Luo Xing and his companions were understandably a little worried.

"What’s there to worry about? It’s just a Level 20 BOSS. With your combined strength, you still have a chance of hunting it."

Fang Xiu knew that Luo Xing and the others were only around Level 16.

They would have a hard time even dealing with an Ordinary Demon Beast at Level 20.

To say nothing of fighting a Level 20 BOSS now.

That was basically impossible for them.

But with Chu Qingxue present, Fang Xiu felt it was possible.

Chu Qingxue’s strength had already reached Level 22.

She might have some difficulty facing a Level 20 BOSS alone.

That’s why Fang Xiu wanted Luo Xing and the others to provide support from the side.

It was the most suitable arrangement.

Of course, the most crucial element was Tao Miao.

Only Tao Miao’s Talent, the Celestial Demon Vine, with its unique fragrance, could stun the Level 20 BOSS.

That made her a perfect fit for the job.

"But we..."

Luo Xing was still somewhat hesitant.

Fang Xiu reassured him, "It’s not like you’re charging in alone. The main fighting force is Chu Qingxue, okay? Besides, you don’t want to look like a coward in front of all these beautiful girls, do you?"

"That... Right, absolutely not!"

Luo Xing glanced at Tao Miao.

Although not as beautiful as Chu Qingxue, she was still quite attractive.

’The girls aren’t even scared, so what am I afraid of?’

"Brother Fang, let me lead the charge! It’s just a Level 20 BOSS, right? I’m a Level 16 Archer with an A Level Talent, after all. I’ll just kite it from a distance. No problem at all!"

Luo Xing deliberately raised his voice.

After speaking, he even shot a pointed look in Tao Miao’s direction.

But when he saw that Tao Miao and the others were anxiously scanning their surroundings, not paying him any mind at all, his bravado deflated a bit.

Fang Xiu just smiled and didn’t say anything.

’Luo Xing wants to lead the charge?’

’Of course he does.’

That was exactly what Fang Xiu wanted.

After all, an Archer could pull all the aggro from a distance.

That would allow Chu Qingxue, the Mage, to take advantage of the opening.

Their chances of defeating the Level 20 BOSS would be much higher then.

"Then let’s go!" Fang Xiu said.

Chu Qingxue nodded slightly.

She knew what Fang Xiu was thinking.

Although her Skills were powerful, one of them was just a Defense Skill.

Even with the Ice Toad Staff, it still wasn’t quite enough.

Besides, using Skills consumed Spiritual Power.

Chu Qingxue’s Spiritual Power was a bit higher than that of an ordinary Level 22 Mage.

But only by a little.

The more powerful the Skill, the more Spiritual Power it consumed.

And the longer its cooldown time.

Chu Qingxue’s current situation was that her Skills were strong, but her Spiritual Power was insufficient.

Pulling monsters also consumed a certain amount of Spiritual Power.

Naturally, Chu Qingxue hoped someone else would do the pulling.

That way, her Skills could be used to greater effect.

"ROAR!"

Just then, a roar echoed from the distance.

Fang Xiu looked over curiously.

Then he said, "If I’m not mistaken, that should be the BOSS’s area."

Fang Xiu had sent Kajimi to find the Demon Beast earlier.

If it found one, it was supposed to notify him.

He hadn’t expected Kajimi to make the Demon Beast roar out loud.

But this was good too. Otherwise, Fang Xiu’s goal along the way would have been a bit too obvious.

This way, it would be less likely to arouse Principal Xiang’s suspicion.

"Let’s go!" Fang Xiu said.

Then he started walking toward the source of the Demon Beast’s roar.

Their pace wasn’t fast, but they were steadily getting closer.

By now, the camera-equipped Flying Guardian Beasts in the sky were gone.

This was because they were in a BOSS area.

If those Flying Guardian Beasts appeared here, they would inevitably attract the BOSS’s attention.

They might end up as the BOSS’s midnight snack, just like the one Fang Xiu had eaten.

"Brother Fang, there are no Guardian Beasts monitoring us here!"

Luo Xing and the others had also noticed this, speaking up with curiosity.

"Look over there!"

Fang Xiu pointed to a spot not far away.

There was a camera there, camouflaged as a tree.

From such a high vantage point, it naturally had a wide field of view.

"Huh? Why are there so many cameras here?!"

Luo Xing looked around, dejected.

He had originally been thinking of having Fang Xiu beat the BOSS half to death, and then they would deliver the final blow. That way, they could secure a spot in the Demon Beast Battlefield.

"This is where the BOSS is. The cameras are everywhere to prevent us from cheating. Besides, this BOSS was prepared specifically for us. Wouldn’t it be awkward if there was no recording when it was killed?" Fang Xiu explained.

"I see!"

After hearing Fang Xiu’s explanation, Luo Xing spoke with a sigh of resignation.

He really had been planning to cheat.

After all, Fang Xiu was Level 27. He would have no problem getting into the Demon Beast Battlefield.

But the same wasn’t necessarily true for them.

They needed to put on an impressive performance.

And killing a BOSS was the best proof of their abilities.

A group of Awakened around Level 16 teaming up to kill a Level 20 BOSS.

Viewed that way, they would surely be seen as promising talents, absolutely deserving of a place in the Demon Beast Battlefield.

But now, it seemed that was no longer an option.

"Trust me, with your combined strength, there won’t be any problem at all."

Fang Xiu looked at Luo Xing and said in a very serious tone.

Although Luo Xing and the others were only around Level 16, if they worked together, they were definitely a force to be reckoned with.

They could even take on a Level 20 BOSS.

RING RING RING!

Just then, Fang Xiu’s phone rang.

He took a look. It was Principal Xiang?

"Principal Xiang?"

Fang Xiu hadn’t expected Principal Xiang to call him at a time like this.

Clearly, he had seen them enter this area.

’But why is he calling?’

Fang Xiu thought for a moment and had a pretty good idea why.

Beside him, Chu Qingxue and the others also looked at Fang Xiu curiously.

This Level 20 Gate World assessment only existed because of Principal Xiang’s arrangements.

Furthermore, letting students enter the Demon Beast Battlefield early for training was also Principal Xiang’s proposal.

Now they had arrived at the Level 20 BOSS area.

And Principal Xiang was actually calling Fang Xiu?

He must have something important to tell him.

After all, they had made it this far, and judging by the density of cameras, all the teachers’ screens were probably focused on them now, right?

After a moment’s hesitation, Fang Xiu pressed the answer button.

"Principal Xiang, you must have seen that I’m near the BOSS, right? Are you planning to tell me not to make a move?" Fang Xiu said immediately after answering the call.

"Smart boy. I’ve seen your performance along the way. And now that you’ve reached the BOSS area, I’m very curious to see just how strong you all are when you face it," Principal Xiang said, watching the screen in front of him.

It was focused on Fang Xiu.

And just as Chu Qingxue and the others had guessed, all the teachers’ screens had been switched to the BOSS’s location.

"What’s in it for me?"

Fang Xiu’s voice came through.

It made Xiang Babang freeze for a second.

"You... want something in return?" Principal Xiang asked, a little uncertainly.

On Fang Xiu’s end, Chu Qingxue and the others were also a bit surprised.

’Fang Xiu is actually trying to bargain with Principal Xiang?’

"Of course. I went through all sorts of trouble to get here. The BOSS’s head was about to be mine for the taking, and now you want me to give it up. It wouldn’t be right if you didn’t give me a little something for my trouble, would it, Principal?"

Fang Xiu had no intention of getting involved in the first place.

After all, Chu Qingxue and the other four were more than enough.

It didn’t matter whether Fang Xiu fought or not.

But now Principal Xiang had delivered himself right to his doorstep.

So naturally, Fang Xiu wasn’t going to be polite.

"Well... I’ll give you a spot for the Demon Beast Battlefield!"

Principal Xiang thought about it. What Fang Xiu said did seem to have some merit.

After all, the boy had already made it to the Level 20 BOSS.

He had already said before that anyone could hunt the BOSS.

Fang Xiu was eighteen, the same age as the others.

And they had all entered this Gate World competition under the same terms.

On what grounds could he forbid someone from hunting the BOSS?

Therefore, Principal Xiang felt that compensation was perfectly reasonable.

"Getting into the Demon Beast Battlefield... I’m not too fussed about it, really. The Demon Beasts in this outer Gate World sound so nice. I super love it here!"

Just as Fang Xiu finished speaking, a Demon Beast’s roar came from the distance. "ROAR!"

It was as if to punctuate Fang Xiu’s words.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to refuse. That’s just the first part of the offer. there’s more."

Principal Xiang knew, of course.

Fang Xiu actually valued the spot in the Demon Beast Battlefield highly.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked about the Demon Beast Battlefield time and time again.

But just as Fang Xiu had implied, that spot was something he had earned, so it couldn’t really be used as a reward.

"A Treasure Chest!" Principal Xiang said suddenly.

"Huh?"

Fang Xiu was stunned and didn’t process it for a second.

"A Golden Treasure Chest!" Principal Xiang spoke again. "I’ll give you a Golden Treasure Chest if you don’t interfere. How about it?"

"Deal!"

Fang Xiu agreed almost without hesitation.

That was a Golden Treasure Chest, after all.

Besides, he hadn’t planned on participating anyway.

Fang Xiu understood the principle of quitting while you’re ahead.

But Luo Xing and the others at his side were completely dumbfounded.

’What... what was all that about?’

They hadn’t heard what Principal Xiang said.

But Fang Xiu was clearly very happy.

And he’d even said, "Deal!"

’Did he just sell us out like piglets?’

Amidst everyone’s confusion, Fang Xiu hung up the phone.

Then he turned to Luo Xing and the others and said, "I have some very regrettable bad news for everyone, hahaha..."

Fang Xiu announced cheerfully.

Luo Xing and the others were dumbfounded.

’Is that good news or bad news? Why are you laughing so happily? How much did you sell us piglets for?’
