Xu Nian also thought that this classmate named Fu Yue was quite capable, but she always felt that he was mostly just showing off.
She wasn't sure if she had seen it wrong, but after Fu Yue killed the second-tier star beast, he glanced at her again.
He seemed very unhappy with her expression; he was quite displeased after killing the star beast.
He returned to his seat with a sour face, propped his chin up, and looked away, looking as if he was troubled by something.
"Fu Yue, you have passed the practical course. You will receive ten credits." After announcing this with a stern face, Instructor Su Xin pulled on her hand, and another new second-tier star beast appeared in the classroom.
"Mentor, let me answer first." This time, Xu Nian learned to answer first.
"Xu Nian, why don't you give it a try?" As soon as Su Xin released the restraints on the second-tier star beast, Xu Nian immediately grabbed an axe and rushed over.
This second-tier star beast is exactly the same as the one from before, and its weaknesses are naturally the same as well.
Xu Nian couldn't match Fu Yue's speed in surrounding and killing second-tier star beasts, but she had the advantage of being agile and strong.
While dodging the attacks of the second-tier star beast, she seized the opportunity and chopped off the star beast's joints with a single blow.
If Fu Yue's killing of the second-tier star beast was a dazzling display of speed...
Xu Nian's killing of second-tier star beasts was like a large-scale slaughterhouse.
The severed limbs were cut neatly, and even the body was cleaved into eight even pieces.
"..." The students watching fell silent for a moment, and they looked at Xu Nian with strange eyes.
Such a beautiful and aloof goddess, yet her methods are so chilling, I can't afford to mess with her.
Only Fu Yue looked at her with sparkling eyes, gazing at Xu Nian as if she were a precious treasure.
"Xu Nian has passed the practical course, so ten credits will be added." Instructor Su Xin smiled at Xu Nian, and after letting her return to her seat, she pulled out a second-tier star beast for the students to practice on.
In the following exams, some people passed and some people failed.
Those who passed were all smiles, while those who failed looked dejected.
With the practical lesson over, today's class is now finished.
The remaining time is entirely at the students' disposal; you can practice or have fun.
Xu Nian chose to go to the training ground to cultivate. As soon as she got up and left the classroom, Fu Yue followed her out of the classroom.
Upon arriving at the training ground, Xu Nian opened a private training room for closed-door training.
Fu Yue stood at the door of the training room, gritted his teeth, and decided to wait for someone to come out.
She didn't know how much time had passed when the door to the training room opened, and Xu Nian came out, looking exhausted.
She looked at the person standing at the door of the training room, and he was looking at her too.
"Fu Yue, did you need something?" It's no wonder Xu Nian was so confident. There were so many training rooms, and many of them still had their green lights on, meaning no one was using them. If Fu Yue was standing at the door of her training room, who else could he be waiting for but her?
"Xu Nian, I'm not here for anything else, I just want to be friends with you." Fu Yue's gaze was intense, preferably with a boyfriend or girlfriend.
“Sorry, I don’t need friends,” Xu Nian said coldly.
What is a friend? Can a friend help her become stronger?
If she wanted to become powerful, Xu Nian couldn't think of any other way but to cultivate and improve herself.
In order to cultivate herself, she was willing to sever all her interpersonal relationships.
“Xu Nian, don’t be so cold. Having more friends means having more options. If we become friends, we can spar with each other and exchange cultivation experiences and insights. What do you think?” Fu Yue’s eyes were sharp. He could see that Xu Nian was only focused on cultivation, so he used cultivation as a pretext.
He would have a chance as long as he could get close to her.
"Friends? To spar with each other?" Xu Nian was taken aback and looked at Fu Yue hesitantly.
Thinking of his magnificent performance when he killed the second-tier star beast, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, then we're friends."
"Hello! My friend Xu Nian." Fu Yue extended his right hand to Xu Nian, smiling broadly.
“Hello! My friend Fu Yue.” Xu Nian copied Fu Yue’s words and lightly shook Fu Yue’s fingers.
Looking at the other person's withdrawn hand, and then at his own hand still hanging in mid-air, Fu Yue twitched his lips and regretfully put it down.
"Niannian, am I your first friend?" Fu Yue changed his tune so quickly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Fu Yue, you are indeed my first friend."
"That would truly be my honor." Fu Yue smiled broadly, a genuine joy from the bottom of his heart.
"So, can you spar with me now?" Xu Nian was eager to try, wanting to see how much of a chance she had against the opponent's rapid attacks.
Or rather, she wanted to know exactly what her abilities were like.
Is she able to defeat Fu Yue? And just how strong is Fu Yue?
Xu Nian really wanted to know, and of course, she wanted to defeat Fu Yue even more.
“Now is fine,” Fu Yue replied with a slight smile.
He used the excuse of exchanging cultivation experiences to get in touch with her, naturally having considered the current situation.
"Here I come." Xu Nian took out the short knife she carried with her and attacked Fu Yue.
Fu Yue was slightly surprised when he saw the short knife in her hand. He flipped his hand and another short knife of the same kind appeared.
While using his short sword to parry Xu Nian's attacks, he exclaimed, "Niannian, we really have a tacit understanding; we even chose the same weapon for self-defense."
Xu Nian pursed her lips and remained silent. He could handle all her attacks with ease and still chat with her so leisurely. He was indeed very strong.
Xu Nian gradually became serious. Without moving her body, she swung the short knife in her hand faster and faster.
However fast she was, Fu Yue's speed would be just as fast.
The clash of short swords was incessant, sparks flew, smoke filled the air, and a tense atmosphere rose.
Those who knew the situation would think these two were sparring, but those who didn't would think they were fighting.
The more Xu Nian attacked, the more alarmed she became. Fu Yue was truly formidable; even as she exerted her full strength, he remained calm and composed.
He remained completely calm in the face of her advances, not even flinching, and even had the leisure to inquire about Xu Nian's situation. "Nian Nian, why are you working so hard to become stronger?"
“Kill the Star Beast.” A look of hatred flashed in Xu Nian’s eyes as she swung the short knife in her hand out of the blade net.
Fu Yue raised an eyebrow, calmly parrying all of Xu Nian's attacks. "Nian Nian, do you hate star beasts?"
"Yes, I wish they were all dead." Xu Nian never hid her hatred.
She hated the Star Beasts; she hated them for taking away her happiness and her family.
It turned her into a homeless, wandering ghost.
Her sole purpose in life was revenge.
They destroyed her home, so they should pay with their lives.
All star beasts deserve to die.
