Chapter 98: Chapter 82: Spider-faced Man’s Lair, Over 10,000 Experience Points

Mu Xiaoye, having tied her hair into a ponytail, turned around and looked at the eight examinees from various schools standing over ten meters away.

"If you don’t want to die, don’t follow me," she said flatly.

Hearing this, the eight examinees subconsciously stood up straight and nodded obediently. They had to be obedient; after all, they were afraid that saying the wrong thing would offend Mu Xiaoye. With their scrawny arms and legs, they really wouldn’t be able to withstand a single punch from her.

It was hard to imagine that Mu Xiaoye, who usually acted like a delicate, demure girl in front of Lu Chen—someone who supposedly couldn’t even unscrew a bottle of water—was actually so fiercely wild in private.

Cold, sharp, and disdainful... The words usually used to describe a domineering man were not an exaggeration when applied to the current Mu Xiaoye. In fact, they were extremely fitting.

Honestly, Lu Chen had never quite understood why the students of First High School were all so afraid of Mu Xiaoye. After all, in his eyes, she had always been that crybaby who followed him around when they were eight years old. She had zero intimidation factor.

But little did he know, Mu Xiaoye only maintained that fake, soft girl persona in front of him. Otherwise, how could a Body Cultivator who had awakened top-tier Talent Divine Techniques not even have the Strength to twist off a bottle cap? Let alone a bottle cap—if Mu Xiaoye wanted to, she could easily pry open the skull of an Evil Demon and Heretic Dao without even breaking a sweat. Her so-called gentleness was reserved strictly for her childhood friend, Lu Chen.

To the other students, especially when Lu Chen wasn’t around, she had always been the undisputed, domineering Body Cultivator of First High School whose word was law. Mu Xiaoye becoming the undisputed top student in her grade at First High School was the result of her punching her way to the top, fist by fist!

Top-tier Talent Divine Techniques, a wild personality, and a domineering combat style... This was the Mu Xiaoye that the Teachers and other students saw.

As for the Mu Xiaoye in Lu Chen’s eyes... one could only say that the prettier the girl, the better she was at deceiving people.

On the street, Mu Xiaoye looked up toward the western side of the Jade Mountain City ruins. After pondering for a moment, she began walking in that direction.

Although she didn’t know where Lu Chen was right now, she knew he had never been the type to stay put. After all, how could a well-behaved person dare to take a knife and fight to the death with a powerful Evil Demon and Heretic Dao at the age of eight? Therefore, her intuition told her that as long as she headed west to the main base of the Nine Nether Evil Demons, she would most likely run into him.

Once Mu Xiaoye had left, the eight examinees finally couldn’t help but step forward, approaching a massive, charred corpse. It looked like a "giant snake" over twenty meters long. Even though it was dead, they could still sense how powerful it had been when it was alive.

This was the leader of the Giant Armored Worms, a Foundation Establishment Evil Object—the Black-armored Worm. Yet, such a monster with immense Power had just recently been pinned to the ground by its head and beaten to death by Mu Xiaoye, punch after punch.

Recalling the scene of Mu Xiaoye standing on its head, relentlessly raining down blows, the eight students present couldn’t help but shiver.

Then, an examinee from Third High School couldn’t help but look at the only First High School student among the eight of them. With a complicated expression, he asked, "Has your Mu Tongxue... always been this wild?"

Upon hearing this, the First High School examinee seemed to recall some unpleasant memories and subconsciously shuddered. Looking in the direction Mu Xiaoye had left, he said with lingering fear, "If we’re just talking about her style of doing things... then yes, she has always been like this.

"After all, in our grade, apart from one specific person, she has beaten up most of the others, and beaten them up badly."

"HISS..." Hearing this, the other seven inhaled sharply and looked at him with sympathetic eyes. They could well imagine that if they were made to fight an existence like Mu Xiaoye, getting bruised and battered would be getting off lightly. A single punch might just land them in the hospital for quite some time.

However, upon hearing that someone had actually managed to escape Mu Xiaoye’s Iron Fist education, they couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Is that guy who hasn’t been beaten by her really strong? How come even someone like Mu Xiaoye couldn’t take him down?"

The First High School examinee gave him a weird look before saying in a complicated tone, "No, he’s not strong. At least, I don’t think he’s stronger than her..."

"Then why wasn’t he beaten up?"

"Because he’s... very handsome.

"Plus, he and Mu Xiaoye are childhood friends. Got it?"

"...Got it, bro. Say no more."

It hurt. It hurt too much!

***

In the ruins of a vegetable market in the South City District of Jade Mountain City.

A pale boy with heavy dark circles under his eyes sat bored out of his mind amidst a pile of Nine Nether Evil Object corpses. He yawned continuously, looking as if he hadn’t fully woken up.

Not far away from him, a five-meter-tall Ancient Evil Ghost with a green face, prominent fangs, and wearing Ancient Battle Armor was holding a large broadsword, relentlessly chopping up the Evil Object corpses. It seemed to be enjoying the process very much.

This boy was none other than Shen Feiyang, a student of Third High School, and one of only three people in the current exam who had defeated a Foundation Establishment Evil Object.

Shen Feiyang looked at the Sword Ghost, which was still playing with the corpses, and sighed helplessly. He then scratched his messy, bird’s-nest-like hair. With listless, deadpan eyes, he looked weakly at the Ancient Evil Ghost and said, "Alright, Sword Ghost, stop killing. These are all fake."
