“This is a strong opponent. If he was like Xu Yuan, who relies on resources to cultivate, it would be fine. However, he is extremely talented in cultivation and has gone crazy. There is no day or night when he cultivates. He’ll have immeasurable achievements in the future…” Wang Xu sighed, but his eyes were filled with a fervent fighting spirit.

Zhang Xinglin was powerful, but Wang Xu wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Not only was he talented in cultivation, he was also known as a “madman.” He believed that if he were to exert himself, he wouldn’t be inferior to Zhang Xinglin!

…

After receiving ten bottles of “Strengthening Potion,” three “Vitality Enhancing Pills,” and 20,000 Earth coins from the Resource Department of the academy, Wang Xu and Li Lian went home together.

“Look, Wang Xu! It’s her!” The two were talking and laughing as they walked. Suddenly, a slender figure walked over. Li Lian immediately shouted.

Wang Xu looked over and his heart skipped a beat. His heart couldn’t stop thumping!

“Tang Yan!”

Her beautiful face and slender figure gave people the desire to protect her when looking from afar. This was the girl that Wang Xu had had a crush on for many years.

Wang Xu really wanted to confess his feelings to Tang Yan, but when he found out that Tang Yan’s family was actually one of the three most powerful families, his face immediately turned pale and he got sad in his heart.

Even though he was a seeded student of the Genetic Academy, he was worthless in front of the Tang family!

As a result, Wang Xu had never spoken a single word to Tang Yan up until now. He could only silently watch her departing figure every time while clenching his fists secretly.

“Wang Xu, you’ll be taking the ‘graduation trial’ very soon. I’m afraid you won’t have many chances to see her in the future…” Li Lian was Wang Xu’s best friend. How could he not know him?

Wang Xu revealed a bitter expression. How would he not have thought about rushing up and confessing his feelings to Tang Yan bravely? But he wasn’t in a position to do so!

The graduation trial was approaching. With Wang Xu’s current strength, entering the “Elite Legion” was a piece of cake. However, Tang Yan’s family would send her into the “Genius Legion!”

The difference between the two was too big!

Unless Wang Xu was able to advance to another level in the next six months and become a true elite student, then he would be qualified to participate in the trial for the Genius Legion!

And this was only the beginning. If his performance in the trial was too poor, he would still be mercilessly eliminated…

The difference between an ordinary person and a family corporation was too big!

“Forget it, I will hide my feelings at the bottom of my heart forever…”

As a breeze blew, Wang Xu put away the bitterness on his face and clenched his fists.

Li Lian shook his head and sighed gently. He knew Wang Xu’s personality, so he didn’t say anything else and patted his shoulder. “Let’s go home!”

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, before they could turn their heads, a loud buzzing sound came. The two of them immediately raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound. They were instantly shocked!

“An insect!”

“Damn it! Where did this insect come from?!”

In the distance, an insect with black body and spikes on its back, that was as gigantic as a buffalo, was wielding its scythe-like legs as it came down from the sky!

“A level-four Elite Insect, Double Scythe Beast!”

Wang Xu and Li Lian looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes!

The carapace of a level-four Elite Insect was comparable to a Grade B armor. Without a Grade A technological weapon, one wouldn’t even be able to break its carapace, let alone kill it!

“Go! Go quickly!” Li Lian immediately reacted and quickly shouted.

“Wait!”

Li Lian looked anxious, but when he followed Wang Xu’s gaze, he froze on the spot.

Tang Yan!

As soon as the Double Scythe Beast landed, Tang Yan was the only one beside it. It immediately targeted her!

“That’s impossible… Don’t go up there, Wang Xu. That’s a level-four Elite Insect. If you go there, you’ll die!” How could Li Lian not know what Wang Xu was thinking? That wasn’t a level-one or level-two insect that he usually killed. It was a level-four Elite Insect! Even a level-four Gene Warrior might not be able to kill it, and might even die at the insect’s mouth, not to mention a level-three Gene Warrior like Wang Xu. In front of the Double Scythe Beast, he wouldn’t be able to resist at all!

“Argh…”

At the same time, Tang Yan was also terrified by the Double Scythe Beast before her!

Tang Yan was a level-three Gene Warrior who ranked in the top ten of the scoreboard. She had become the idol of many juniors with her powerful strength and beautiful looks.

When she noticed that the Double Scythe Beast was coming down from the sky behind her, she couldn’t help but scream.

A level-four Elite Insect!

This was definitely not something she could deal with!

Tang Yan was shocked in her heart and despair surged in her eyes. In front of a level-four Elite Insect, she had nowhere to escape to!

“Squeal…” The Double Scythe Beast let out an ear-piercing and unpleasant sound. The moment it saw Tang Yan, its two huge scythes immediately slashed at her!

“Clang!” Suddenly, a long saber flew over. The sharp blade pierced the carapace of the Double Scythe Beast, but this long saber was only a Grade D weapon. It didn’t even leave a mark before it shattered into pieces.

The Double Scythe Beast stopped and turned to the direction where Wang Xu was.

“Wang Xu… you’re crazy, you’re really crazy!” Li Lian trembled. The compound eyes of the Double Scythe Beast looked over. Its cold and merciless gaze made him shake uncontrollably.

That long saber was the weapon that Wang Xu often used. It was also the weapon that he got after saving up 30,000 Earth Coins. Unexpectedly, it didn’t even leave a mark on the carapace of the Double Scythe Beast.
