Chapter 16 The Cosmic Cube? The Vast Expanse of Stars?



at this time.

Outside Wolong City, on a desolate mountain peak.

A young man moved his hands rapidly, and the two long swords in his hands flew wildly in the air under his control, killing indiscriminately.

He was the only person from Fengchu Academy who was granted special permission by Guan Shanyue to leave the city.

Li Chen, ranked first in his grade, has a hidden profession: Sword Saint.

"Ah owe!"

He suddenly sneezed: "Who's talking about me?"

On the other side.

Inside Guan Shanyue's office.

Li Xunle sat in the chair, still looking nonchalant.

His relaxed and carefree demeanor made it seem as if the dean's office was his dormitory.

Guan Shanyue sat opposite him, staring intently at him.

He remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Even the most composed Li Xunle felt uneasy after being stared at for so long, so he couldn't help but speak up:

"...Dean Guan, just ask me whatever you want to ask, don't stare at me like that..."

Guan Shanyue remained silent, instead taking a sip of tea from his glass teacup.

Judging from the appearance of that glass teacup, it seems to be quite old, as it has been polished to a thick layer of tea stains.

"Pooh--"

He spat out a mouthful of tea dust...

Then he squinted at Li Xunle as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

Finally, he spoke slowly, revealing slightly yellowed teeth:

"A priest, capable of poisoning people?"

"Yes, I accidentally acquired a bizarre skill: the ability to release poison..."

"Could you describe your poison in detail?"

Guan Shanyue remained calm and composed, picked up his teacup again, took a sip, and then spat out a mouthful of tea dust...

"Is there any water here? Please have some water, I'm getting thirsty just watching you..."

"..."

Guan Shanyue didn't expect this kid to actually make a request, so he pointed to the bottled water next to him:

Here, take it yourself!

After thanking him, Li Xunle picked up a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down.

Then a hiccup sound was heard...

Guan Shanyue rolled her eyes at him. "You think you can get full from drinking water?"

Li Xunle slowly poured out the mineral water and spoke mysteriously:

"Dean, this poison is terrible! It causes blood loss based on a percentage!"

"Percentage? What do you mean?"

"1% per second, for 100 seconds."

Li Xunle didn't hide anything, after all, he was already invincible.

"Then wouldn't getting infected be equivalent to death?" Guan Shanyue's eyes widened.

"More or less!"

"That's insane! No wonder you cleared the game so easily!"

Guan Shanyue's gaze toward Li Xunle gradually became more intense.

"What about skill cooldowns?"

"It only takes 1 second!"

"Lying down..."

Guan Shanyue almost blurted out "Holy crap!" but realizing it might be inappropriate, he quickly changed his mind:

"This is the first time I've ever seen this!"

“This is my first time seeing this too!” Li Xunle added.

"Where did this skill come from? Are there any job requirements?"

"It was found; only a priest can use it..."

Li Xunle lies without batting an eye.

"That's such a poorly told lie."

Guan Shanyue shook his head. He could see through Li Xunle's level of lying at a glance.

However, he did not pursue the matter further, because it was completely unnecessary.

Skill books disappear once they've been used.

He pondered for a moment, then asked again, "How did you allocate your attribute points?"

“The full [body]!” Li Xunle answered truthfully.

"Full Body Enhancement? In other words, speed is paramount?"

“Yes!” Li Xunle nodded.

Guan Shanyue, with an air of nonchalance, tilted his head back in his chair and looked intently at Li Xunle:

"I'd like to hear your self-assessment."

"Myself?" Li Xunle asked without hesitation.

"Invincible!"

Guan Shanyue looked at Li Xunle in astonishment:

"You little rascal, you're really not humble at all. Take it seriously!"

Li Xunle looked proud and serious.

"Dean, I'm being very serious."

Guan Shanyue looked closely at the carefree young man in front of him, as if trying to find out something.

After watching for a while, he solemnly asked, "Do you think you can defeat Li Chen?"

"It's too easy, it'll only take a few minutes."

Li Xunle looked relaxed.

"Are you sure?" Guan Shanyue's expression changed.

"certainly!"

"Very well, since you are so confident, then there are some things I need to tell you."

Guan Shanyue looked at Li Xunle with a serious expression:

"Do you know what our ultimate goal is in changing jobs?"

Li Xunle stroked his chin, pondering for a moment: "To survive, to fight against game monsters?"

Guan Shanyue's face was solemn:

"No, the game monsters are endless, that's not the main reason."

"What is that?" Li Xunle asked casually.

"The arrival of this bizarre game is significant; it relates to matters of fate."

"Luck?"

"Yes, luck! Blue Star's luck is very bad, which is why game monsters frequently appear. And this is because Blue Star's participants in the Cosmic Cube failed to obtain enough luck when competing with all races."

"The Cosmic Cube? There's such a thing? I've never even heard of it."

"Most people don't know about this; we only tell it to people with high potential."

Li Xunle looked thoughtful:

"Then why did you tell me?"

"The reason I'm telling you this is because I see your potential. I want to tell you that those who are capable and talented should aim for the stars and the sea, not be like frogs in a well."

"The vast universe?"

Li Xunle was shocked by Guan Shanyue's words.

He originally thought that with his immortality and the divine skill "Poisonous Healing," he would be invincible on this Blue Star, but he discovered that there was an even larger world...

It seems the situation is more complicated than I imagined.

Guan Shanyue nodded and continued:

"But don't think too far ahead. Focus on leveling up. Every dangerous place has a level requirement. For example, the Cosmic Cube requires you to be level 100 or higher to enter."

To enter the Super God Academy, one must be at least level 30. Similarly, countless secret realms in the wild also have corresponding level requirements for entry.

Your immediate priorities are three: the wilderness training in three days, the friendship competition between the three academies within a month, and the entrance examination for the Super God Academy within 100 days.

If you want to know more secrets about the Cosmic Cube, you must be admitted to the Super God Academy to be qualified to know more specific things; even I am not qualified.

"Okay, Dean, I think I understand."

Li Xunle nodded thoughtfully.

"I've only told Li Chen and you about this, but Lin Yu might also be involved."

"Li Chen and Lin Yu?"

Guan Shanyue nodded:

"Li Chen, hidden class - Sword Saint, I don't need to say more about his potential, right?"

Li Xunle nodded. He knew that among the hidden classes, the Sword Saint was one of the strongest in one-on-one combat, and of course there were also classes like the Blade Saint.

Guan Shanyue slowly spoke again:

"As for Lin Yu, he's a summoner, so he should have a very powerful summoned beast. He's off soloing the super-dead dungeon."

Guan Shanyue was clearly paying close attention to Lin Yu's performance.

Solo play?

"Yes, solo!"

"Soloing is nothing special, I can do it too."

Li Xunle pouted, a smug look on his face.

Guan Shanyue gave Li Xunle a disapproving look:

"I've noticed that your biggest characteristic is your lack of humility..."
