Seeing the dagger getting closer and closer to his chest, a smile flashed on the middle-aged man's pale face.

"Forbearance is done, one blow kills, and the killer is the foundation."

This is a famous saying circulating within [Shadow], the middle-aged man has already thought about it, and when the young man in front of him collapsed with pain and shock, he coldly threw this sentence at him.

That scene must be quite handsome.

Pity...

He never had the chance to see this scene in his life.

Ji Xuan in front of him disappeared.

The middle-aged man's final blow stabbed him in the air.

He was slightly stunned.

The world in my eyes suddenly spun around, and... Completely upside down.

Inside, the ceiling is below and the floor is above.

Outside the window, the sky is below, and the whole city hangs upside down.

What's going on?

The doubts in the eyes of the middle-aged man had just emerged, as if he had realized something, and the doubts in his eyes were replaced by unprecedented horror, becoming his last expression in this world.

Like the other seven.

With a thud, his head fell to the ground and fell to Ji Xuan's feet.

"Stupid." Like stepping on an ant, Ji Xuan looked at the head on the ground, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

In front of him, a headless corpse knelt on the ground, squirting red blood upwards.

On the middle finger of his right hand, he was wearing a silver prosthetic armor, slowly dripping blood.

It was this slender and sharp murder weapon that took off the head of a man codenamed "Blood Eagle".

"Although there are no beautiful women to accompany me..."

Glancing at the city outside the window, Ji Xuan shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly.

"Eight great heads, not bad."

A slightly brisk voice echoed through the room, but it was as if...

The murmur of death.

......

September 15, 4885 in the Shenzhou calendar, Canghai International Airport.

A passenger plane slowly lands on the tarmac.

The hatch opened, and the passengers got off the gangway one after another, and at the moment of stepping on this land, they missed, delighted, and sighed... All sorts of emotions appeared on their faces.

"The weather is so nice."

A teenager walked out of the hatch, raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky, and sighed.

This young man has a delicate face, there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and his dark eyes are as deep as the night sky, full of aura, making his whole person look vibrant, like the rising sun.

Behind the young man, followed by a tall old man with a white beard and a kind smile, carrying a weapon wrapped in burlap on his back.

Hearing the young man's exclamation, the old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The weather in Canghai City has always been like this. ”

"Oh?"

The young man turned his head to look at the old man and asked with interest, "Grandpa Jin has been here before?" ”

The old man who was called Grandpa Jin by the young man nodded, glanced at the sky, and sighed with emotion, "When I was young, I liked to travel around, and I also took this Canghai City for a while." ”

"How long is a while?"

"Uh... I think it's been two or three years. ”

"Two or three years..."The young man stretched out his voice with bad intentions, "Grandpa Jin has an old friend here?" ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly, "Young master, don't bury the old man." ”

"Don't worry, I won't tell Grandma Hua." The young man patted his chest with an expression of "rest assured that my mouth is the strictest".

The old man was in a cold sweat, and immediately changed the topic: "Young master, where are you going next?" Do you want to go see Young Master Mu first? ”

"There's no hurry," the young man shook his head, "Anyway, it won't be long before I can meet my senior brother." ”

The old man was a little helpless and said, "Young Master, you and Young Master Mu are not senior brothers." ”

The young man said confidently: "My swordsmanship was taught by Mu Ziqing, so naturally I have to respect him as a senior brother." ”

"Then it should be a master and apprentice," the old man muttered.

"I don't care, anyway, Mu Ziqing is my senior brother!" Leaving these words behind, the boy walked straight forward.

"Alas... It's good that the young master is happy. The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, and hurriedly followed.

"That's right, young master."

"Huh?"

"You haven't cultivated today."

"Grandpa Jin."

"Huh?"

"When you're away from home, don't mention these uninteresting things!"

“......”

"Young Master, it's because you're always lazy that you're pulled by Young Master Mu and Miss Li."

"Pull it away, I don't care."

"That's not good, young master, as a member of the Tianjiao list, how can you be ...... by others on the list?"

"Stop! Stop, don't mention that broken list to me, I'll be angry when I mention it! ”

"Young master, that's a celestial list, I don't know how many people want to be on it."

"I don't care! Anyway, since I was on this list, people have squatted at my door every day and said that they were coming to challenge me, and I was annoyed to death! And I still don't understand why the Stars Club put me on that list, the garbage list, the Garbage Stars Club! ”

"Young Master, the Stars Society is the seventh ...... of the Shenzhou Continent"

"I don't care! In spite of! In spite of! ”

The boy shouted loudly as he quickened his pace.

Looking at his little master's angry appearance, the corners of the old man's mouth hooked up with a doting and proud smile.

Master, the reason why you are on the list is because you are a genius.

The world is unique...

Genius.

......

Outside the city of Canghai City, Mirror Lake.

Mirror Lake is the largest lake around Canghai City, because the lake is always calm and there is no foam on the edge of the lake, it is completely like a huge piece of glass, so people named it Mirror Lake.

The lake is surrounded by lush forests, and compared to the calm surface of the lake, the forest can be said to be very lively.

There are dozens of demon beasts in the woods, and the demon power ranges from 100 to 500, which is naturally a good place for high school students in Canghai City to hone their martial arts.

Unlike the sparsely populated Wolf Howling Slope, which is crowded with people, and you can often see groups of three or five figures, Chu Qing has seen many students from major high schools along the way.

Among them, of course, also includes the students of Tianlan High School.

At this time, the third year of high school is racing against time to increase the source value, so almost all of the students who appear here are freshmen and sophomores.

However, Chu Qing, the eldest elder with the number one source value, is known to everyone in Tianlan High School, so when they saw Chu Qing appear here, they naturally had the fanaticism and worship as fans.

"I'm blanching, Brother Qing, alive!

”

"Brother Qing came here for an outing~ My little sister is also alone~"

"Brother Qing will sign my name, yes, sign my head."

Finally pulled out of his cute fan base, Chu Qing quickly slid down the hillside and was able to escape.

"This is too scary..."Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Chu Qing quickened his pace and hurried towards his destination.

It's been two full weeks since the last deathmatch at Wolf Howling Slope.

Today's Chu Qing, the source value has reached... 937！

"Found it!"

Pushing aside a patch of grass in front of him, Chu Qing finally found his first target.

"Water spiders, adult demon power ranges from 420 to 450, the whole body is silver, non-venomous, and moves fast."

Looking at a silver spider the size of a bowl in the distance, a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of Chu Qing's mouth.

"Demon power 442 points..."

"It's not enough to even stuff your teeth."

"It's a big loss."

As the summoner's level continued to increase, Chu Qing's experience gradually decreased.

The water spider with a demon power of 442 points was almost of no help to Chu Qing to improve the summoner level, but he had to hunt this demon beast.

Because Chu Qing encountered a big crisis.

He... No money!

Four effective pills of 1.2 million, and the 200,000 returned to Ji Xuan, he would have had about one million left on hand.

But Chu Qing had to twitch his brain, thinking that he had a million, wouldn't he decorate the old house like words?

There's really nothing wrong with that.

Even if Chu Qing's house still has a garden, it won't cost a lot of money to deal with the walls outside the house and the weeds in the garden.

The bad thing is that Chu Qing looks at the surface so glamorous, and there are already five or six out of ten mansions in their heyday, but as soon as he pushes the door in, he has a feeling of "gold and jade are ruined outside".

After thinking about it again, Chu Qing still gritted his teeth, tnnd, isn't the money earned just for spending! All renovated!

The problem is that the interior walls of the house need to be repainted, and the essentia material is added to enhance the support, not to mention the wallpaper.

The floor needs to be re-cemented, and you need to buy a durable and beautiful floor tile.

In terms of windows, because it is an old house from 90 years ago, it is not satisfactory in terms of light transmission, and some places that need to make floor-to-ceiling windows even have to be demolished and rebuilt......

Chu Qing suffered the loss of no culture, and every time he felt that something was unnecessary, the captain of the engineering team showed him the renderings.

I really don't want to spend money, but he comes with a small balcony...

Looking at the relaxing balcony in the renderings where you can see the fountain below, tears of anger flowed from the corners of my mouth.

Although this engineering team asked Lin Shiyou to help find it, and the price was absolutely undeceiving, but when he looked at the bill that was close to one meter long, Chu Qing felt that he might as well die on that night of wolf howling slope.

After paying the final payment and sending the engineering team away, he looked at the Marble Pavilion behind him, which had changed from an urban weird talk to a mansion and villa.

Tsk, although it costs a lot, it is really worth it.

This can be regarded as the completion of one of my obsessions.

Thinking like this, Chu Qing felt that his body was a lot lighter.

But seeing the bank card turn into a four-digit deposit again, he pouted, and he will have to run for tuition in the future.

Obviously, it hasn't been a few days for a rich man...

In desperation, he learned from Ji Xuan that there was a branch of the mercenary union in Canghai City, which could earn commissions by completing tasks.

How I didn't know before!

Chu Qing's face was shocked, I knew this earlier, I still had a P job!

But it's right to think about it, I haven't tested the source value once, and I've been self-closed for so long in the past few years, and no one would think that an 18-year-old boy who works as a wage earner at KFC is a martial artist.

I really don't dare to write like that.

Although the Mercenary Guild is not listed as the Seven Honors, it is a very large organization on the Divine Continent, as long as it is a martial artist, it can accept the tasks issued by the guild, and high school students are naturally no exception.

"Collecting water spider glands" is a relatively advanced task of the mercenary union, because not only to defeat the water spider with high demon power, but also to ensure that the glands in its body are not destroyed, so few people will choose this task.

But for Chu Qing, this task paid well, so he decisively chose it.

"The glands of 20 water spiders, it takes a lot of time..."

"It would be nice if it could be the same as in the game, idle and farm monsters."

With a broken thought in his mouth, Chu Qing stepped out of the grass, and the sound of the squirt immediately alarmed the water spider.

Sensing that a creature had invaded its territory, it immediately raised its head and made a sound like chewing food, and then dozens of spider silks erupted from its mouth and shot at Chu Qing.

"I'm blanching, Spider-Man!"

Chu Qingwei screamed, but his feet were not slow at all, his body flickered, as if he was wearing a butterfly, and he easily avoided the spider silk.

"It's slow..."

He sighed as he moved forward at a rapid pace.

Compared to the plesio-tailed wolf's flicking tail like a long whip, the spider silk spewed out by the water spider seemed to him to be watching a slow-motion replay.

"I thought it would be a bit of a pleasure to abuse vegetables."

Pursing his lips a little boringly, he unleashed a fatal blow, and the whole person turned into an afterimage in front of the water spider, and the iron sword fell like lightning, cutting it off at the waist.

Squatting down, taking out the dagger, cutting open the belly of the water spider, Chu Qing carefully cut off its glands, and then put it into the backpack prepared in advance.

"Nineteen more—" Sighing helplessly, he stood up and began to look for his next target.

......

Two hours later, in a meadow in the middle of the woods.

"Twentieth."

With a puff, he pulled out his iron sword, looking at the water spider under his feet that had just lost its vitality, Chu Qing let out a long breath.

Wiping the sweat from the corners of his forehead, he smiled slightly, "Finally got the tuition fee." ”

Taking out the dagger, he was about to remove the last gland from the water spider's body, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

The footsteps were accompanied by a flattering voice.

"Gu Shao, how can such a troublesome person as collecting water spider glands ask you to do it personally?"

"Just let me do it."

"Oh, I see! Chasing girls has to be done by yourself, Cheng Yi Xuemei is waiting outside the forest, and when she sees Gu Shao helping her complete the task, she will definitely be tempted by Gu Shao. ”

"It is worthy of Gu Shao, with lofty vision! Right, Wu Dao. ”

“... Well. ”

"Wu Dao?"

Hearing this name, Chu Qing was slightly stunned, turned around, and saw three figures walking out of the shadows in the forest.

All three were dressed in the same color and wore a distinctive silver badge pinned to their chests.

It is the school emblem of Tianlan High School.

When these three people saw Chu Qing, they were also stunned.

“... Chu Qing? The dark-skinned young man on the left side of the three looked at Chu Qing and asked with some uncertainty.

Chu Qing nodded and smiled: "Long time no see, Wu Dao." ”

This young man named Wu Dao was a classmate of Chu Qing for three years in junior high school.

With his unremarkable appearance and taciturn personality, Wu Dao has always been inconspicuous in the class, but Chu Qing has an extremely deep impression of him.
