"This is a formidable opponent. If he were like Xu Yuan, relying on resources to cultivate, it would be one thing. But he is extremely talented in cultivation and as mad as a demon, tirelessly training day and night. His future achievements are limitless..." Wang Xu sighed, but his eyes were filled with fervent fighting spirit.
Zhang Xinglin is formidable, but Wang Xu is not to be underestimated either. Not only does he have high cultivation talent, but he also shares the nickname "Madman." He believes that if he were to unleash his full potential, he would be no less than Zhang Xinglin!
.....
After collecting ten bottles of "Enhancer," three "Peiyuan Pills," and twenty thousand Earth Coins from the academy's resource department, Wang Xu and Li Lian set out on their way home together.
"Wang Xu, look! It's her!" The two were walking and chatting happily when suddenly a slender figure approached, prompting Li Lian to shout immediately.
Wang Xu looked over, his heart trembled, and his heart couldn't stop thumping!
"Tang Yan!"
An exquisite face, a slender figure, seen from afar, evoked an uncontrollable urge to protect her. This was the girl Wang Xu had secretly loved for many years.
Wang Xu wanted to confess to Tang Yan, but when he found out that her family was one of the three great families, the Tang family, his face turned pale and his heart dimmed.
Even though he was a seed student at the Genetics Academy, he was worthless in front of the Tang family!
Therefore, until now, Wang Xu had never actually spoken to Tang Yan; he could only silently watch her departing figure, his fists secretly clenching.
"Wang Xu, you will soon participate in the 'Graduation Trial.' You probably won't have many chances to see her again..." Li Lian, Wang Xu's close friend, knew all too well about Wang Xu's situation.
Wang Xu showed a bitter expression. How could he not want to bravely confess to Tang Yan just once? But he had no right!
The graduation trial was approaching, and with Wang Xu's current strength, entering the "Elite Battle Group" was a given, but Tang Yan's family would place her in the "Genius Level Battle Group!"
The gap between them was too large!
Unless Wang Xu could advance another tier in the mere half a year, reaching the level of a true elite student, would he have the qualification to participate in the genius-level battle group trial!
And this was only the beginning. If his performance in the trial was too poor, he would be mercilessly eliminated...
The gap between ordinary people and family conglomerates was too vast!
"Forget it, I will bury this feeling deep in my heart, forever..."
A gentle breeze blew by, and Wang Xu put away the bitterness on his face, clenching his fists tightly.
Li Lian shook his head and sighed softly, knowing Wang Xu's character, he said no more, patting his shoulder, "Let's go home!"
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, before the two could turn around, a violent buzzing sound suddenly erupted, causing both to abruptly raise their heads, looking toward the noise, and were instantly shocked!
"A bug!"
"Damn! Where did this bug come from?!"
In the distance, an enormous insect, resembling a water buffalo, clad in black armor, with barb-covered back, wielding scythe-like legs, suddenly descended from the sky!
"A Tier Four Elite Insect Beast, a Twin-Scythe Insect Beast!"
Wang Xu and Li Lian exchanged glances, both seeing the fear in each other's eyes!
A Tier Four Elite Insect Beast, its whole body shell comparable to B-level battle armor, without A-level technology weapons, there's no breaking through its shell, let alone killing it!
"Run! Quick, run!" Li Lian reacted immediately, urgently shouting.
"Wait!"
Li Lian looked anxious, but when he followed Wang Xu's gaze, he froze.
Tang Yan!
The moment the Twin-Scythe Insect Beast landed, only Tang Yan was there, and it immediately targeted her!
"Impossible... Wang Xu, don't go! That's a Tier Four Elite Insect Beast! If you go, you'll definitely die!" How could Li Lian not know what Wang Xu was thinking? That was no ordinary Tier One or Two Insect Beast; it was a Tier Four Elite Insect Beast! Even facing a Tier Four Genetic Warrior, it might not be killed, and there's a significant risk of being devoured. Not to mention Wang Xu, a Tier Three Genetic Warrior, had no chance of resisting!
"Ah..."
At the same time, Tang Yan was also terrified by the scene of the Twin-Scythe Insect Beast, her face ashen!
Tang Yan was a Tier Three Genetic Warrior, ranked in the top ten on the points board. With her powerful strength and supreme beauty, she was an idol in the hearts of many junior students.
Upon sensing the Twin-Scythe Insect Beast descending from the sky behind her, she couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
A Tier Four Elite Insect Beast!
This was absolutely beyond her ability to contend with!
Tang Yan was horrified, her eyes filled with despair, in front of the Tier Four Elite Insect Beast, she had nowhere to escape!
"Screech..." The Twin-Scythe Insect Beast emitted a shrill and unpleasant cry, and the moment it saw Tang Yan, its two huge scythe-like legs slashed fiercely toward her!
"Clang!" Suddenly, a long knife flew in, the tip of the blade stabbing straight at the shell of the Twin-Scythe Insect Beast. But since it was just a D-level low-grade weapon, it left not a single mark and shattered into pieces.
The Twin-Scythe Insect Beast halted its action, turning to look at the place where Wang Xu was standing.
"Wang Xu... you're crazy, you've gone completely crazy!" Li Lian shivered, the compound eyes of the Twin-Scythe Insect Beast looking over, its cold and merciless gaze made him shudder from head to toe.
The long knife just now was Wang Xu's usual weapon, a blade he bought after saving up thirty thousand Earth Coins, yet it didn't leave a trace on the Twin-Scythe Insect Beast's shell.
