Chapter 252: Chapter 187: First Entry into the Demon Beast Battlefield (Part 2)
"Fang Xiu, come with me."
As she watched Li Mu leave, Jian Ying finally let out a sigh of relief.
Her expression relaxed a little as she looked at Fang Xiu and spoke softly.
"Okay."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly, then asked, "Are you very afraid of the Vice Hall Master?"
He was a little curious.
When Li Mu was here just now, Jian Ying had been completely serious.
But now, she seemed much more relaxed.
"How could I not be? Do you know who the Vice Hall Master’s grandfather is?"
Jian Ying retorted.
Fang Xiu shook his head.
He really didn’t know about this.
After all, Li Mu was already the Vice Hall Master.
It wasn’t likely that Fang Xiu would investigate or ask so many questions.
"It’s Elder Li!"
Jian Ying said in a hushed voice.
Fang Xiu was puzzled. "Elder Li, who’s that?"
’Who is this person?’
Fang Xiu couldn’t immediately place the name.
"Elder Li Shan, the number one Level 99 Space System Awakened. You’ve seriously never heard of him?"
As Jian Ying spoke, her voice was filled with a sense of adoration.
"A Level 99 Space System user?"
Fang Xiu genuinely had no idea. ’There’s actually a Level 99 powerhouse in the Space System?’
"Huh? You don’t know?"
Jian Ying found it a little unbelievable.
’How could someone not know about Elder Li, the Level 99 Space System powerhouse?’
But then she had another thought.
"Oh, I get it. Fang Xiu, you just had your Awakening not long ago, so you probably don’t know. You’ll definitely get to meet more people in the future!"
Jian Ying considered it. Fang Xiu had indeed only recently had his Awakening.
He probably wasn’t familiar with the people in the Awakened circles.
And she wasn’t wrong. Fang Xiu was indeed unfamiliar.
The only relatively strong powerhouses he knew were Yue Tianrui, Zhao Yao, and Xiang Babang.
As for any Level 99s, Fang Xiu didn’t know a single one.
These people might have appeared in textbooks.
But it was always about their heroic deeds. There was almost no information on what level of strength they achieved afterward.
In the news, aside from the few powerhouses who made frequent public appearances, their Levels were almost never mentioned directly.
Perhaps only within the circles of the Awakened could one learn just how powerful they truly were.
"Right."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
He wasn’t sure if he would get to meet more people in the future.
However, Fang Xiu believed that he would definitely become such a powerhouse one day.
He would even surpass Level 99 and become a Hundred-Level powerhouse.
He didn’t know what the upper limit for an Awakened’s Level was in this world.
But he knew that Level 99 was definitely not the limit.
After all, Deities truly existed in this world.
The Goddess of Life, the Space God, the Netherworld King, and the like.
They were all at the level of Deities.
Their strength must be above Level 100.
Therefore, there must be other Levels beyond Level 99.
Fang Xiu just wasn’t sure what kind of realm one could reach.
Or rather, what conditions had to be met to break through Level 99 and reach that realm.
But these were not things the current Fang Xiu needed to think about.
Right now, Fang Xiu was only Level 27.
Forget Level 99.
Even reaching Level 30 or 40 was still some distance away.
"Let’s go. I’ll show you around. I was quite surprised when I got the news that you’d be the coach for this new batch of students."
Jian Ying said as they walked, "After all, having a student who’s never even entered the Demon Beast Battlefield act as a coach... I have no idea who came up with that idea."
"I think it’s ridiculous too!"
Fang Xiu replied with a smile, following behind Jian Ying.
He himself already felt the whole thing was ridiculous.
But there was nothing to be done; the arrangements were already made.
There was no way to change it.
"That’s what I thought before, but after seeing you, I feel that maybe the decision Principal Xiang and the others made wasn’t wrong."
Jian Ying said, "You give me a very strong feeling. I can sense an unusual pressure from you. I’m already Level 43, and though I don’t know where this pressure comes from, I’m certain that your actual strength is far greater than your Level!"
Hearing this, Fang Xiu fell silent for a moment, then just smiled.
He didn’t answer.
"Everyone has their own secrets, I understand that. However, I hope that when it comes to eliminating Demon Beasts, you won’t hold back your strength to protect your secrets and cause others to get hurt as a result."
Jian Ying’s words weren’t harsh, nor did they carry any threat.
They were very calm, as if she were simply stating a fact.
There was no emotional undertone. In other words, she was truly just giving Fang Xiu a reminder.
"Okay. When it’s necessary for me to act, I definitely won’t hold anything back."
Fang Xiu had no intention of hiding his abilities.
It was just that sometimes, he didn’t even need to use all of his abilities.
The Demon Beast was already dead.
You couldn’t blame Fang Xiu for that.
"Right. This area is considered relatively safe, but as you can see, quite a few Demon Beasts still show up here. The buildings have collapsed!"
Jian Ying led Fang Xiu through the city.
To call it a city was a stretch; it was really just a collection of ruins.
There were many Awakened here, all busy with their own tasks. None of them stopped what they were doing because of Fang Xiu’s arrival.
They seemed completely uninterested in the arrival of a newcomer.
"The Awakened here know that if their strength is insufficient, they will die. They know that if their strength is insufficient, Demon Beasts might wreak havoc on the cities. So everyone’s goal is to get stronger!"
Jian Ying seemed to know what Fang Xiu was thinking, so she explained.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly, showing he understood.
From the moment he entered this place, Fang Xiu could feel his blood starting to burn.
’Cultivating here is definitely the right choice.’
’Letting the students experience this kind of pressure early on is the only way for them to grow and transform.’
"That building over there will be where you all live from now on. You have to bring all your own supplies. Of course, you can also trade for things here—using Points or bartering. Both are options, but the prices aren’t fixed!"
Jian Ying said, pointing to a building in the distance that was a bit dilapidated but not structurally unsound.
"Thank you!"
Although the building was a bit worn down, it seemed much better than the other buildings nearby.
’They probably cleared it out for us.’
"This is an area with relatively few Demon Beasts, but you still need to be careful when you sleep at night!"
Jian Ying explained with a smile.
Just then, Fang Xiu saw a group of five or six people heading straight for the outskirts.
"Where are they going?"
Fang Xiu asked, looking at the group.
"To hunt Demon Beasts. Demon Beasts appear everywhere every day. They go hunt them, which serves two purposes: one, it hones their own abilities, and two, they can get some decent rewards."
Jian Ying explained, "We can’t just let the Demon Beasts provoke us all the time. Sometimes, we have to be the ones to provoke them!"
"That’s true!"
Fang Xiu nodded, then asked curiously, "What Level are they hunting?"
"Level 40 ones, I think!"
Jian Ying glanced at the group, then answered.
"Can I go with them and watch?"
If they were Level 40, Fang Xiu could handle them, so he wasn’t worried at all.
"Sure, I’ll take you! It’s good for you to see what the Demon Beasts on the Demon Beast Battlefield are like."
Jian Ying nodded slightly.
In any case, coming here was all about training.
They’d have to face Demon Beasts sooner or later.
Going to watch now would help him prepare a little.
"Let’s go!"
Fang Xiu was very interested.
After all, even back in the Gate World, Fang Xiu had rarely hunted Demon Beasts.
Even though he could kill them instantly, his understanding of Demon Beasts wasn’t very deep.
Besides, this was the Demon Beast Battlefield, where Demon Beasts could appear at any time and any place.
"Fan Gang!"
Jian Ying called out to the men who were walking away.
The young man in the lead turned around, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw Jian Ying. "Sister Jian, showing a rookie around?"
"Yeah. You’re going to hunt Demon Beasts, right? We’ll go with you."
Jian Ying said.
"That’d be great!"
Fan Gang sounded a little excited upon hearing that.
After that, the two groups introduced themselves to each other.
Fang Xiu learned that this Fan Gang was a Beastification System Awakened.
He was already Level 41.
And he was a year younger than Jian Ying.
’As expected, the people who can enter the Demon Beast Battlefield are no ordinary folks.’
And when they heard Fang Xiu’s name, all six of them also showed expressions of surprise!
Clearly, they had all heard of Fang Xiu!
