Zhou Hao, burning with anger, raised his blade and charged at Qiao Yu. Although Qiao Yu no longer had the buff from Yin-Yang Conversion,

his own attack power was still 572 points, more than enough to deal with Zhou Hao.

"You ambushed and robbed me first, trying to kill me. Now that I've killed you, you call me the murderer? How laughable."

Qiao Yu scoffed at Zhou Hao's anger.

Facing Zhou Hao's attack, he didn't dodge or evade, directly using his body to meet the blade.

Zhou Hao struck him once, and he returned a punch. After a few quick punches, Zhou Hao's HP was reduced to zero.

Zhou Hao closed his eyes unwillingly. In the past, he and his two brothers had always had smooth sailing.

Even stronger players couldn't withstand their combo.

Why was it useless against this kid in front of him?

Filled with doubt, Zhou Hao's body turned into starlight and dissipated, obviously returning to the newbie village to respawn.

Qiao Yu picked up the equipment dropped by him and Zhou Yuan. Most of it was junk that Qiao Yu didn't care for.

The only thing of value was Zhou Yuan's pair of short blades, a C-grade equipment, but unfortunately, only the assassin class could use them.

Qiao Yu threw everything into his storage space.

Qiao Yu walked towards the surviving Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang's face was ashen, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

"Hero! Strong man! Big brother! We were wrong, we shouldn't have targeted you. Please, spare me, spare me!"

Zhou Xiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

It had taken the three brothers years of hard work to achieve their current success. If they all died here, their years of effort would be in vain.

Qiao Yu ignored Zhou Xiang and took out an incense burner from his storage space.

He had borrowed this incense burner from Xue Jinlong. It was said to be particularly effective.

Qiao Yu respectfully inserted three incense sticks into the burner and bowed.

Just as Zhou Xiang was wondering what Qiao Yu was doing, a firm and powerful fist magnified in his eyes.

Bang!

Zhou Xiang, a curse mage with a weak constitution, couldn't even withstand a single punch from Qiao Yu and died instantly.

Seeing the equipment that Zhou Xiang dropped all over the ground, Qiao Yu rummaged through it and finally found what he wanted!

"Damn! It really dropped! Teacher Xue, this incense burner of yours is truly effective!" Qiao Yu excitedly hugged the incense burner and kissed it a few times.

A skill book appeared in his hand.

[A-grade Skill Book]: Yin-Yang Conversion

Effect: During Yin-Yang Conversion, the player's defense is reduced by 100%, and attack power is increased by 100%, lasting for ten seconds.

(Current state: Cannot be used).

Qiao Yu: "..."

"How could I forget that I have no intelligence… Looks like I can only take it back and see if Yang Xiangdi can learn it."

Qiao Yu disappointedly put away the skill book. To use an A-grade skill book, both spirit and intelligence must be above 100.

As a necromancer with both stats at 0, he couldn't use it in the short term.

However, it was still worth it to get an A-grade skill book and a C-grade equipment from the three brothers.

Even if Qiao Yu couldn't use it, he could exchange it with other players for equipment he could use.

Qiao Yu returned to the side of the Yao Guang Soul Core. This time, no one was bothering him.

Qiao Yu pulled out two metal rings from the Soul Core.

"They actually dropped this thing?"

[Yao Guang Knuckle Dusters]:

Grade: C

Effect: Increases critical hit chance by 30%.

Class Restriction: None

"Hiss, this thing is pretty good."

Qiao Yu gasped. With his attack power, a critical hit would kill even a Siberian tiger.

If Wu Song saw Qiao Yu wearing these knuckle dusters, he would have to respectfully call him big brother.

After taking stock of his gains, Qiao Yu set off again towards Empress Tower.

At this time, Fourth High School in the real world was in an uproar.

"What? Are you saying Qiao Yu hasn't returned yet?" Xue Jinlong widened his eyes in shock.

"This is ridiculous! What time is it? He's still grinding in a dungeon! Doesn't he know the college entrance exam is about to start?"

"Um… maybe Brother Yu ran into some trouble?" Yang Xiangdi said sheepishly.

At this time, the students from all four high schools in Su City had gathered, all aiming for the same goal: the college entrance exam! The top scorer!

"And you! Why didn't you persuade him to come back when you saw him? What could be more important than the college entrance exam? If you register for the college entrance exam and don't participate, you'll be blacklisted!"

Once blacklisted, Qiao Yu's life would be ruined. Xue Jinlong was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.

At this moment, a tender white hand gently comforted Xue Jinlong.

Shi Mei said gently.

"Teacher Xue, how about this? You take the students over first. According to the order, First High School enters the latest."

"I happen to know a teacher from First High School. How about having Qiao Yu depart with the people from First High School?"

Xue Jinlong nodded helplessly.

"Teacher Shi, I really don't know how to thank you enough! My student is troubling you! By the way, how do you know a teacher from First High School?"

Xue Jinlong was a little puzzled. If he remembered correctly, Shi Mei had only been working in Su City for less than half a year. How could she know someone from First High School?.oΓg

"Don't worry, I'll know them soon."

Shi Mei smiled mysteriously and walked towards the First High School team.

Xue Jinlong and the others watched Shi Mei from a distance. They saw Shi Mei grab a male teacher from First High School and mutter something to him.

Then, the male teacher looked like he had won the lottery, his joy overflowing, waving his hands and feet as he said something.

"Goodness, what is that male teacher saying?" Xue Jinlong smacked his lips and said.

"Ma'am, you wouldn't want your student to be unable to take the college entrance exam, would you?" Yang Xiangdi said seriously.

Huh?

Xue Jinlong was stunned for a moment. Why did that sentence sound so familiar?

Slap!

The next second, Xue Jinlong's palm landed on the back of Yang Xiangdi's head.

"You're so young, don't learn good things! You spend all day watching these messy things that are harmful to your health!"

Yang Xiangdi covered his head aggrievedly.

"Teacher Xue, don't you also watch Bai Jie?"

Xue Jinlong's eyes widened.

"Can that be the same? I'm watching those things to improve my literary cultivation! I'm looking at them with a learning attitude!"

"You're just an old pervert pretending to be a big shot!" Yang Xiangdi muttered.

"Huh? What did you say?" Xue Jinlong raised his hand again.

"I said! Teacher Xue, you're right! I should learn from you!" Yang Xiangdi said.

"Alright! It's settled. When Qiao Yu from your class returns, he can enter the exam hall with the First High School candidates."

Shi Mei walked back happily.

"Teacher Shi Mei, thank you so much! I don't know how to thank you enough! You gave my student Qiao Yu a second life!"

Xue Jinlong took the opportunity to hold Shi Mei's hand.

"Teacher Xue, you don't have to thank me. It's all for the students!" Shi Mei lowered her head shyly.

Looking at Xue Jinlong and Shi Mei being so affectionate, Yang Xiangdi said faintly.

"Is there a possibility that Brother Yu won't even make it in time for the First High School batch?"

Shi Mei, Xue Jinlong: "..."
