Just as Qin Xiao was about to leave, Wang Xinian stood up and blocked his way, seemingly heading towards the teleportation gate.

"Junior, you're quite the hidden talent, I admire you."

Qin Xiao nodded. "Just lucky."

Wang Xinian's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled, "Hehe, if this is considered lucky, then wouldn't we senior students be ashamed of ourselves?"

Even those top-ranked, influential figures only managed to reach the eleventh or twelfth floor at most.

Qin Xiao remained noncommittal, unsure of what tricks this woman was up to, and didn't want to respond.

"Junior, there's no need to be so wary. Just take what you said before as a joke. Now that we've cleared the tower, I have something important to discuss with you. Please do me the honor."

Arrogant at first, then obsequious – this is the epitome of it.

Qin Xiao thought to himself, glanced at Wang Xinian, and was too lazy to ask what was going on.

"Sure, I'm at Mirror Moon Lake. You know the address, you can come find me."

After speaking, Qin Xiao turned and left.

Wang Xinian watched him leave the hall, then lowered his head to think for a moment before walking towards the gate of the Endless Tower.

Qin Xiao left the hall, got on Youyou, and headed towards Mirror Moon Lake Cottage.

After conquering the Endless Tower, Qin Xiao had no interest in having another chance, even though he still had one more opportunity.

The first-place reward won't stack, and I don't care about the spirit crystals from clearing the levels, so I might as well go back and lie down... and cultivate.

Having seen the bustling commerce of the capital, there wasn't much else to see.

It was originally a newly built city after a major upheaval, and there weren't many historical sites worth seeing.

However, he was getting restless and wanted to take on some missions in a few days.

Staying in the small building all the time is not only boring, but also unbearable for the kidneys.

Let's see in a couple of days if there's anything interesting or lucrative.

I was walking down the street when the bracelet started bouncing.

Sun Lingbo: Good lad, I knew you were extraordinary, but I really got a shock.

Qin Xiao: Hello, Teacher Sun. It's just good luck.

Sun Lingbo: Hehe, you kid, you're so young and you've picked up all this stale, corrupt air from whoever you were talking to.

Strong is strong, weak is weak; there's no such thing as luck.

Luck is just a humble way of saying the strong; excessive humility is the greatest form of arrogance!

How are those upperclassmen supposed to feel about saying that? Hahaha.

Sun Lingbo was clearly very happy, and he spoke more freely.

Qin Xiao: Well... to be honest, it's not difficult at all.

Sun Lingbo: Good, good, good. Young people should have this kind of domineering spirit. Train hard for a month, and the league will start. Your spot is definitely in the bag.

Qin Xiao: Okay, Teacher Sun, I'm just about to go back to cultivate. When the time is right, I'll do a task and participate in the league.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Qin Xiao hung up the call.

They had arrived at Mirror Moon Lake Cottage. The door opened automatically, and Qin Xiao went inside.

In the lobby, Ye Qinghuan sat cross-legged, while Lu Chengxiao, wearing hot pants and a tank top, was also resting his long legs on the armrest of the sofa.

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's voice, Lu Chengxiao stood up abruptly, his eyes wide as he stared at Qin Xiao, looking him up and down.

"Junior, what...what did you eat to grow up like this?"

Qin Xiao ignored him, walked to the sofa and sat down, still warm from Lu Chengxiao's presence.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep an eye out for any interesting missions. We'll do some missions in a couple of days."

Lu Chengxiao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to Qin Xiao. "Big brother, you're amazing! You should have told me you could have gotten first place!"

Why didn't you say so earlier?

"I only found out you made it to the top of the platinum list because your posts are everywhere on the forum now."

I should have bought horses! You have no idea, all the top players have been coming back to school to climb the rankings lately.

The odds on the outside are very high, especially for Lian Qingfeng, whose bets have consistently reached 20 to 1!

If I bet ten platinum spirit crystals and it doesn't work, wouldn't I earn 200 in the blink of an eye?!

Qin Xiao picked up a grape, but something seemed off. After asking around, he found Slovic standing in front of him.

He lay down on the sofa and ate the grapes that Slovic fed him.

"With your Lu family's vast fortune, do you really need a few measly coins?"

Lu Chengxiao looked regretful. "That thing is still mine. Besides, public accounts are public accounts, and private property is private property."

"Captain, you've reached the fifteenth floor, what's going on?"

Ye Qinghuan didn't ask any of those irrelevant questions; instead, she was very curious about the Endless Tower.

"On the fifteenth floor, I fought platinum-level beasts. I had to kill 100 of them to pass the level."

Ye Qinghuan listened to Qin Xiao's calm narration, somewhat bewildered.

"100 Platinum-tier beasts?!"

Suddenly, Ye Qinghuan, who had just come to her senses, cried out in surprise.

"This is terrifying! More than twenty times stronger than a beast tamer of the same level! No wonder no one in the Platinum rank has ever beaten him!"

Lu Chengxiao also ate two grapes. "Well, what else can we do? This academy is full of the pride of the nation. Who doesn't have a little confidence?"

"If it weren't for an overwhelming victory, why would those sophomores and juniors be blindly praising him on the forum?"

Intrigued by what he heard, Qin Xiao also opened the campus forum to take a look.

Clicking on the homepage leads to an official pinned post that has broken records.

Below are several other highly popular posts, each with an increasingly exaggerated title.

[Single-handedly cleared 15 floors, reigning supreme at the Platinum rank!]

The One True God, the Sky God!

[I hereby declare, Platinum-tier students, your king has arrived!]

屮

Qin Xiao was speechless; this forum was even more awkward than the internet environment for ordinary people.

Qin Xiao clicked on it casually and took a look, and even he himself couldn't stand it anymore.

Basically, they showered him with praise and compliments, and even listed non-sensitive information from his academic records.

That headshot from my second year of high school was blatantly displayed there, it was infuriating.

If it weren't for her striking good looks, she would be too embarrassed to go out in public.

After reading several posts with a mix of pain and a touch of morbid amusement, Qin Xiao felt better and turned off the bracelet.

It seems best not to go out for the next few days; the heat is too intense, and he suspects he'll be surrounded by people if he goes out.

I settled down in the small abode and spent my days either practicing meditation, enjoying tea, or chatting.

Zhou Lei, Liu Piaoxu, Ye Qingya, and others chatted online throughout the entire session using their wristbands.

Qin Xiao felt like he was getting bored out of his mind, and he realized that something was wrong with his current state.

Why are you already giving up and giving up?!

Oh, you've reached Gold 7 stars, right?

That's alright then.

With the beast taming prowess, Qin Xiao could do nothing but lie there while his cultivation level skyrocketed.

'Master, we have a visitor requesting entry. Should we receive them?'

When Xiao Ling's voice rang out, Qin Xiao got up from his reverie and casually put on his bathrobe.

In the living room, Wang Xinian, with her long blue hair, was quietly drinking tea.

When Ye Qinghuan saw Qin Xiao come down, she nodded, got up, and left.

Wait until Ye Qinghuan disappeared down the stairs.

"Junior is amazing, keeping a mistress is one of the greatest pleasures in life."

Qin Xiao gave her a disapproving look. This woman was quite interesting; she even took the initiative to tease him.

Are they close?
