Chapter 15 You've Been Had!

Qiao Yu stomped down hard.

His whole body instantly shot towards the three healers like a cannonball.

"Take my blade!"

Qiao Yu's hand rose and fell, unleashing a triple berserk attack.

After taking care of the healers, the remaining black-robed figures were quickly dealt with, thanks to the coordinated efforts of Qiao Yu and the others.

Throughout the battle, Gu Su became more and more shocked.

It was already outrageous how quickly Qiao Yu was improving, but why were the other two progressing so rapidly as well?

Especially that fatty, relying on his "retreat, retreat, retreat" strategy, a mage actually managed to restrain three assassins of the same rank. It was simply unbelievable.

"Phew!"

Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had called Ma Fei and the others over.

Otherwise, relying on himself alone, he would probably have had to run, facing so many black-robed figures.

After all, no matter how strong he was, he was just one person, while those black-robed figures were a well-coordinated team.

"Gu Su, thanks for your help this time too," Qiao Yu said.

"Mm."

Gu Su coldly tossed out an "Mm" and turned to leave. It wasn't that he was aloof, but today's events had been too much of a blow to his genius pride.

Among the four of them, he was actually the weakest...

Halfway there, Gu Su suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned back to ask.

"Wait, Qiao Yu, didn't you say you'd teach me how to get with Shi Shaorong?"

Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi also looked at Qiao Yu with great curiosity.

Qiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then the expression on his face slowly became profound, like an old scholar who had studied philosophy for many years.

He pushed up his non-existent glasses and said,

"Gu Su, over thirty thousand people starve to death on Kaiji Star every day; over ten million are trapped in war; over three million are forced to leave their homes; the ice caps are melting in the Arctic, and the penguins are depressed in the Antarctic."

"Look at all the things you could be contemplating in your life, yet you're only fixated on a female individual with whom you have no intellectual exchange or common ground, who refuses to mate and procreate with you? Simping won't get you anywhere!"

"Gu Su, you're thinking too small! Your scope is too narrow!"

Qiao Yu's voice was like a booming bell, and his whole person seemed to radiate a holy light.

"Is that so..." A look of determination suddenly shone in Gu Su's confused eyes. "Thank you! I understand!"

Gu Su turned and left, and something seemed to have changed about him.

"Damn, Brother Yu, you really are like a tattoo artist working with their eyes closed - you've screwed me over!" Yang Xiangdi gave a thumbs up directly. "You're too good at bullshitting, you've completely hoodwinked Gu Su!"

"Actually, it's not all bullshit. Simping really doesn't get you anywhere," Qiao Yu shook his head.

"What if he simps for hundreds of them at the same time?" Yang Xiangdi pondered.

Qiao Yu: "..."

By the time Qiao Yu returned to Jing University with Lin Lang, Ji Pingyang was already waiting at the school gate.

"Principal, I've brought Lin Lang back for you!"

Qiao Yu pointed to the unconscious figure on his back.

Ji Pingyang's eyes narrowed instantly, and a chilling murderous aura was released from his body.

After Qiao Yu put Lin Lang down, he said,

"Principal, we agreed on four months, but I caught him in less than a month. Don't you think I'm awesome?"

"No," Ji Pingyang frowned slightly.

Qiao Yu: "..."

Ji Pingyang walked forward and gently touched Lin Lang's forehead.

The originally pale Lin Lang's face flushed with a sickly crimson, and then he slowly woke up.

"This is... Jing University?" Lin Lang's eyes widened instantly. "Principal... Principal Ji?"

"Lin Lang, I'm asking you, did you kill Qin Xuan?" Ji Pingyang's tone was icy, and his eyes pierced Lin Lang's heart like two sharp arrows.

"Heh, I killed him, so what? Kill me or do whatever you want, aren't you big shots the most fond of bullying others with your power?"

Under Ji Pingyang's gaze, Lin Lang couldn't help but cough up mouthfuls of blood, but his eyes were full of disdain as he looked at Ji Pingyang.

"You!"

Ji Pingyang angrily raised his hand, the surrounding air instantly froze, and even Qiao Yu couldn't help but hold his breath.

Then Ji Pingyang slowly lowered his hand, his eyes becoming somewhat complicated, and his lips trembled slightly.

He still had some impression of Lin Lang. At the opening ceremony, Lin Lang had been brave enough to ask questions, and his dark face had been full of thirst for knowledge.

He couldn't understand why Lin Lang had become like this.

"A teacher's negligence is to blame for lax teaching."

"You are a student of Jing University. No matter why you became like this today, I, as the principal, cannot shirk my responsibility."

Ji Pingyang closed his eyes, a look of heartache on his face.

"I won't kill you. You are Wanli Hao's student, so let him decide how to deal with you."

Lin Lang's expression was a mix of green and white, and even more complicated. He obviously didn't expect Ji Pingyang to not kill him.

To these big shots, weren't small figures like him just ants that could be crushed at any time to vent their anger?

"Principal, while Lin Lang may have acted rashly and gone astray, I think the root cause is still the organization that bewitched Lin Lang, that is the real tumor!" Qiao Yu pressed on while the iron was hot.

"What's the name of that organization? Where are they? Give me a direction!" Ji Pingyang reopened his eyes, his eyes full of chilling killing intent.

"That organization is called Bai Ze! They specialize in researching evil techniques that fuse players and bosses together, and they..." Qiao Yu recounted how Bai Ze had been trying to capture him all along.

"As for where they are..." Qiao Yu scratched his head, he really didn't know.

Without saying a word, Ji Pingyang directly handed Qiao Yu a marble-sized pill.

"Jing University is busy with affairs, I can't protect you personally. This thing is called the Sword Pill. No matter where you are, I can sense it if you crush it."

"Next time if Bai Ze comes looking for you again..." Ji Pingyang's aura exploded, and the clouds in the sky were instantly split in two.

Qiao Yu was instantly overjoyed when he heard this. Was this the influence of the number one swordsman?

This was the effect he wanted!

With Ji Pingyang's help, it would be much easier for him to deal with Bai Ze in the future.

"Understood! I will definitely help Principal find Bai Ze's tracks!"

Qiao Yu gave a salute, then smiled obsequiously and leaned towards Ji Pingyang, looking like a fly rubbing its hands.

"Hehe, Principal, I've brought Lin Lang back for you, so about the Qiongqi pendant you promised me..."

"Thump!"

Ji Pingyang reached out and knocked Qiao Yu on the head.

"You little brat, would I, the dignified principal of Jing University, go back on my word?"

Ji Pingyang took off a golden pendant and handed it to Qiao Yu, who quickly reached out with both hands to receive it.

[Qiongqi Pendant]:

Grade: A ( 강화 +6)

Effect: Increases player's Spirit and Intelligence by 150 points, increases player's skill power by 35%, and increases casting speed by 30%.

Class Restriction: None

Qiao Yu's heart was filled with excitement. After experiencing the joy of being a necromancer in the Soul Cleansing Lake, he had always wanted this Qiongqi pendant, and now he had finally gotten his hands on it.

Moreover, after such a long time, the Qiongqi pendant had been strengthened once more by Ji Pingyang, and its attributes were even stronger than before.

"Kid, cherish my Qiongqi pendant. This thing has been with me since I was in the middle ranks. If it's successfully strengthened one more time, it might awaken a weapon spirit!" Ji Pingyang said.

"Weapon spirit?" Qiao Yu suddenly thought of the beating hammer in Huang Xiuqiang's hand.

"Principal, how can I strengthen the Qiongqi pendant one more time?" Qiao Yu quickly asked.

"Strengthening stones can only be dropped in dungeons above Grade B. It's too early for you to be thinking about this now," Ji Pingyang waved his hand.

Qiao Yu nodded, then asked with some concern.

"Principal, what about you after giving me the Qiongqi pendant? Will this affect your combat power?"

"Me?" Ji Pingyang smiled. "It's okay, I'm fine with anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yu saw Ji Pingyang take out a new pendant and hang it on his body.

[Congratulations to swordsman player Ji Pingyang for binding a brand new S-grade equipment in the game, rewarding 50 free attribute points. We hope that other players will continue to work hard.]

Qiao Yu: "..."
