75: Advanced 5th Job Mission

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Su Bai went to Imperial Martial again, heading straight for Mu Yan's villa.

“Isn’t that the kid who’s always pestering Mu Yan?”

“That’s right, it’s him! That kid is here again!”

“This shameless guy is harassing Mu Yan again.”

“No way, I’m going to challenge him to a duel! What right does he have to monopolize our goddess?!”

“Damn it, I’m so furious! I’m going to duel that bastard.”

“Who’s coming with me?”

“Count me in.”

“Count me in too.”

“And me!”

A group of young men watched Su Bai enter Mu Yan’s villa, their faces revealing a hint of anger as they started signaling and calling on others to denounce Su Bai.

“Why are you here so early today?”

Seeing Su Bai arrive so early today, Mu Yan was overjoyed.

In this school, she barely spoke to anyone else.

The boys all adored her, liked her, and wanted her to be their girlfriend.

The girls all envied her, kept their distance, and dared not befriend her.

“You said yesterday that your class advancement quest was in the Ancient Elf Ruins. Is that true?”

Su Bai looked at the little girl in front of him and asked softly.

“That’s right, it is true. Why do you ask?”

Hearing this, Mu Yan nodded quickly.

“Then when are you planning to do your class advancement?”

This class advancement would definitely be dangerous; otherwise, Jiang Lin wouldn’t have needed Su Bai to go along.

“At least not until next month.”

“My level has caught up now, but this dungeon won’t open until the first of next month.”

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Mu Yan asked softly upon hearing this.

“My class advancement quest is there too.”

Hearing this, Su Bai immediately said.

He had checked his class advancement quest last night and discovered that the two of them had overlapping quest locations.

[Current Class Advancement Quest: Fourth Advancement to Fifth Advancement]

[Level: Fourth Advancement]

[Quest Introduction: There are many secrets in this ancient land. This time, you need to go to the Elf Race ruins, explore the secrets of the Elf Race, and find out the truth behind the Elf Race's disappearance.]

[Quest Duration: One month]

(Note: This is a special class advancement quest, please complete it as soon as possible)

This quest left Su Bai stunned.

It turned out that what had always held him back was never his level, nor his equipment, but the dungeon cooldown.

He only hoped that the next class advancement quest wouldn't be so special, and that he wouldn't have to wait almost half a month again.

“Really?”

“But why?”

“That dungeon is very complex, and the monsters inside are very strong, mostly level 200 or above. Why would your class advancement quest be there?”

Mu Yan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

She had entered it once before and obtained a special treasure there; her class advancement quest might also be related to this treasure.

“I don’t know about that. Perhaps it’s because my class is quite special, and the difficulty of my class advancement quest is several times harder than that of other class holders.”

Su Bai quickly explained upon hearing this.

“Alright, then it seems you’ll have to stay here a bit longer.”

As soon as she said this, Mu Yan’s eyes lit up slightly.

How great would that be!

Su Bai could often accompany her, and at least she wouldn't be alone anymore.

“That’s true. The Academy Grand Competition is about to begin soon. When it does, I can take you to participate, and you can be my audience.”

Su Bai calculated the time; in at most three days, the Academy Grand Competition’s preliminary rounds would begin.

Apart from the four great academies and five top-tier academies, other academies needed to compete for spots, which meant vying for qualification.

Hundreds of academies would compete for eleven spots, ultimately advancing to the final round.

“Really? You can’t lie to me, okay?”

Mu Yan immediately took Su Bai’s small hand, her eyes revealing a hint of excitement.

“Of course not.”

Su Bai nodded quickly.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang, interrupting their time alone.

“Who is it?”

Mu Yan opened the villa door and looked outside.

Dense figures stood at the villa's entrance.

These guys’ faces were flushed, their fists clenched, and they glared indignantly at Su Bai.

“Is something wrong?”

Mu Yan frowned as she looked at the group of people in front of her.

“We want to challenge that kid inside to a duel. Tell him to get out here!”

“Exactly! What is he, daring to monopolize our goddess?!”

“Sister Mu Yan, you can find your own boyfriend in the future, but it absolutely cannot be that guy inside.”

“He has a sharp nose and a monkey-like mouth; he doesn’t look like a good person at all.”

...

...

A group of people stood at the door, their eyes revealing a hint of anger, shouting loudly.

Hearing this, Su Bai’s mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it, where do I have a sharp nose and monkey-like mouth?

I am clearly one of the most handsome men in the world, yet they dare to slander me.

“I’ll explain to them.”

Mu Yan’s face was red, her eyes revealing a faint hint of shyness.

“No need, let me handle it.”

As soon as he said this, Su Bai immediately walked to the villa door, shielding Mu Yan.

Mu Yan’s heart warmed as she watched this scene unfold before her.

When she was bullied by others in the past, it was this solid and reliable shoulder that stood in front of her, blocking all the blows for her.

“You little brat, you’ve finally come out.”

“Tell me, which academy are you from?”

“You have a lot of nerve coming here to flirt with our goddess.”

“I want to challenge you to a one-on-one duel. Go to the Martial Arts Arena with me right now!”

...

...

These guys rolled up their sleeves, their small faces flushed red.

“This isn’t my fault. It’s because you guys are so useless that you couldn’t win over Mu Yan for so long, allowing me to easily hold her hand.”

Saying this, Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly and directly took Mu Yan’s small hand.

“Bastard, let go of her right now!”

“Damn it, I’m going to fight you to the death! Not even the King of Heaven could stop me!”

“Let go of her hand right now!”

The group of people standing in front of the villa were almost driven mad, wishing they could tear Su Bai into a thousand pieces.

That was their goddess, their lofty goddess! How could a mere mortal like Su Bai defile her?

“With all due respect, everyone present here is trash.”

“I’ve claimed your goddess.”

“My name is Su Bai, from Qinglong Academy. The world knows me as Champion Marquis. Who among you wants to duel me?”

Su Bai stepped out of the villa, taking a step forward, and said coldly.

As his words fell, the crowd in front of the villa instantly fell silent, looking at each other in dismay, their eyes revealing a hint of fear.
