Chapter 27: Sacrifice Her and Get a Gift
Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Sacrifice Her and Get a Gift
The Gate World of Qingzhou City First High School is divided into two areas.
One larger area is a place for all students Awakened into the Combat System to hunt Demon Beasts and gain experience.
The other area is for the training of Life System students.
They have no combat ability and can only rely on the protection of the school’s teachers.
Not a single Demon Beast will appear within a 500-meter radius of their area.
Although Life System Awakened might seem much weaker, in reality, their contribution to other Awakened is enormous.
Without Blacksmith Awakened, there would be no weapons.
Without Tailor Awakened, there would be no high-grade protective gear.
Without Chef Awakened, anyone needing Spiritual Power-restoring food would be stuck chewing on raw meat and disgusting plants.
...
The many Life Professions ensure the safety of Combat Awakened.
They allow them to wield even greater power in battle.
In turn, Combat Awakened shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Life System Awakened.
By eliminating Demon Beasts, they allow Life System Awakened to research new Equipment without interruption, letting them focus wholeheartedly on their work.
The two groups are complementary.
And at that moment, Principal Yue Tianrui was in this protected area for Life System Awakened.
Just then, Yue Tianrui received a call.
"Hello, Teacher Xia. Is something wrong?"
Yue Tianrui answered the call. It was Xia Yunmeng on the other end.
"Principal, I just got a call from Fang Xiu. It seems two outsiders have entered the Gate World!"
Xia Yunmeng relayed everything Fang Xiu had just said to Yue Tianrui.
Upon hearing this, Yue Tianrui’s brow furrowed slightly.
After a moment, he said, "Yes, I’m aware."
"Huh?"
Xia Yunmeng was taken aback.
’What... What does he mean by that?’
"Since Fang Xiu said the two are on the ground and pose no threat, go and take a look," Yue Tianrui said.
"Uh... Alright, Principal!"
Xia Yunmeng agreed.
’The principal has a point.’
’Since Fang Xiu said the two weren’t dangerous and had already dealt with them, then it should be fine.’
’We just need to question them afterward to find out how they entered the Gate World.’
Hmph!
Yue Tianrui hung up the phone, his brow tightly knitted and his expression grave, and finally let out a heavy snort.
...
Meanwhile, Fang Xiu had arrived at the base of the highest nearby hill.
He looked up, but the trees on the hill blocked his line of sight, making it impossible to see if anyone was there.
But in Fang Xiu’s mind, he didn’t need to.
He was certain Lu Yu’er was on this hill.
She would need a vantage point from which to watch and confirm that Yu Boyuan had actually attacked and killed Fang Xiu.
Therefore, she couldn’t be too far away.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to see clearly, even with binoculars.
For someone like Lu Yu’er, who blamed her own inadequate Awakening on Fang Xiu as if he’d stolen her rightful place, she would have an undeniable urge to clearly watch.
She would want to see the person who had "stolen" her SSS Level Awakened Talent be killed.
It was precisely because Fang Xiu understood Lu Yu’er’s way of thinking and knew her personality that he could deduce she had to be on this hill.
’If Lu Yu’er is still on this hill, she’s bound to have an ambush waiting. I need to be careful!’
Fang Xiu knew that, given Lu Yu’er’s personality, after seeing Yu Boyuan lose she would either flee or... set an ambush.
She had already seen Fang Xiu defeat Yu Boyuan, a Level 15 powerhouse.
Therefore, Lu Yu’er definitely wouldn’t attack recklessly.
But if she wanted to kill Fang Xiu, the best place to do it was inside this Gate World.
Once they left here, they would go their separate ways and might never meet again.
Lu Yu’er wouldn’t let an opportunity like this slip away so easily.
This was why Fang Xiu concluded that Lu Yu’er was most likely still on the hill.
Unless she had given up on killing Fang Xiu.
But... that was even more unrealistic.
Fang Xiu began to slowly make his way up the hill, one step at a time.
Right now, all Fang Xiu could do was take out his Life Staff, as he had no offensive Skills.
He had to rely entirely on his raw Power.
But in a surprise attack, Fang Xiu might be taken out before he could even use his Power.
The Life Staff didn’t provide him with any other direct benefits.
Lu Yu’er was a Fire Mage Awakener, whose primary attacks were Magic Attacks.
And the Life Staff that Fang Xiu had obtained from his first Sacrifice could increase his Magic Resistance Value by 70.
Fang Xiu wasn’t sure exactly what a Magic Resistance Value of 70 translated to for him.
But it was better than nothing.
’When Lu Yu’er had her Awakening, she was D Level. That means her Level should only be three. So... she’s not that strong!’
Fang Xiu suddenly remembered that Lu Yu’er was D Level when she Awakened.
Based on the fact that an SSS Level Awakening results in a starting Power Level of 9...
...Lu Yu’er’s Level should have only reached 3.
Even if her training speed was as fast as Fang Xiu’s, she would have gained one or two Levels at most.
In other words, Lu Yu’er’s current Level couldn’t be higher than Level 5.
And Fang Xiu was already Level 10.
’She only has one Skill. I just forgot to ask those two about it. Lu Yu’er’s Awakened Talent is a mystery, so I just need to be wary of that, and I should be fine.’
Thinking of this, Fang Xiu suddenly felt much more relaxed.
An unknown Skill was certainly something to be wary of.
But if the power of this unknown Skill didn’t even match that of a Level 5 ability...
...Fang Xiu felt he might just have a shot at Sacrificing Lu Yu’er.
To deal with Lu Yu’er, Fang Xiu wouldn’t need to use brute force and wits like he had against Yu Boyuan and his partner.
He only needed a few seconds to Sacrifice Lu Yu’er.
If the Sacrifice succeeded, he would obtain the Evil Dragon Fafnir’s reward.
Although he had no idea what that might be.
If it were anyone else, Fang Xiu wouldn’t consider using Sacrifice.
But Lu Yu’er was different.
Not only was she arrogant and domineering, but she had also hired someone to kill him.
And even though Fang Xiu had already severely injured that killer...
...that fact alone was enough to ensure that this would not end until one of them was dead!
If it weren’t for the Flower God’s Flower Dew, which had enhanced his constitution...
...Fang Xiu might already be dead.
A Sacrificial Master, even an SSS Level one, is still incredibly fragile without any Skills.
Never mind facing a Level 15 Beastification Awakener and a Level 15 Rock Mage.
They would get crushed even when facing a Combat Awakener of the same Level.
If Fang Xiu hadn’t been lucky, their plan would have already succeeded.
So how could Fang Xiu let a person like that continue to live?
Therefore, he had to Sacrifice Lu Yu’er. There was no other choice.
Fang Xiu didn’t want to spend his future constantly on guard against sneak attacks or hired assassins.
Besides, he’d get a gift for Sacrificing her.
By now, Fang Xiu had already reached the top of the hill.
He wasn’t sure if it was because of the climb, but Fang Xiu felt the surrounding temperature seem to become oppressively hot!
