9: College Entrance Examination

Leaving the Phoenix Merchant House, Su Bai stood on the main street, surveying his surroundings.

Sun Kai still hadn't arrived; it seemed he was probably still stuck in traffic, so Su Bai could only wait here for a while.

Thinking this, he directly opened his system panel.

“This data panel should be considered luxurious, right?”

Su Bai looked at his overall combat power, which had already reached two hundred, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upwards.

However, even so, Su Bai still couldn't be arrogant or complacent.

Many scions of prominent families were leveled up by others, and they didn't even go to those wild dungeons; they had unexplored secret realms at their disposal.

The level span of those secret realms was very large, making them a paradise for nurturing new professional players.

They could rapidly increase their levels and even complete their first advancement in a very short time.

“Oh, I’m so exhausted!”

“Old Su, you wouldn't believe how many people went to Sunset Prairie; I feel like everyone in Tang City went.”

“I wonder if that expert finally came out?”

Sun Kai appeared before Su Bai, clad in silver-white equipment, panting as he spoke.

He had almost been flattened from squeezing through the crowd.

“Then why did you go join the commotion?!”

Su Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He hadn't expected his small display to cause such a huge stir.

“That was a thirty-second clear of a Disaster Grade dungeon! Anyone with a bit of curiosity went to join the fun.”

“By the way, why weren’t you curious?”

Sun Kai rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

“If I told you I cleared it, would you believe me?”

Su Bai smiled slightly, a calm expression on his face.

“You?”

“Don’t brag; if you really could clear a Disaster Grade dungeon, I’d immediately kneel and call you dad.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Kai couldn't help but curl his lips.

“You said it.”

Su Bai directly pulled him to a corner and handed the Paladin equipment to Sun Kai.

The reason Su Bai told Sun Kai this news was that he knew he couldn't keep it a secret.

Just the equipment he gave him couldn't be explained.

“Holy crap.”

“Dad?”

“It’s really you?”

“How did you do it?”

Sun Kai immediately knelt, his eyes filled with shock.

That was a Disaster Grade dungeon, cleared in thirty seconds—that was too fast!

“Why are you shouting so loudly?”

“Are you afraid others won’t know?”

“Put away this equipment; it’s all useful for you. I’m about to complete my first advancement soon.”

“You should also speed up; it would be best if we could complete the first advancement quest together.”

Su Bai didn't have many friends; one could say he had very few.

Besides Sun Kai, there was only one other little girl who came out of the orphanage with him.

However, that little girl had already completed her class advancement and was now studying at the Imperial Martial Professional University in Meteor City.

In fact, whether it was Su Bai or Sun Kai, they would both leave Tang City sooner or later.

Only by developing in a big city could they obtain more resources and advance further.

“I probably can’t catch up to you. I grinded like crazy for a day and only reached level fifteen.”

“I estimate it will take at least a week for me to complete my first advancement.”

Sun Kai spread his hands, a helpless expression on his face.

He had even hired someone to power-level him; otherwise, the situation would be even worse.

“Alright then, since I’ll be soloing, the first advancement dungeon won’t be too difficult, and you can clear it by forming a team yourself.”

Seeing this, Su Bai could only give up.

“How did you do it?”

“Thirty seconds, instant clear—you’re too fast!”

Sun Kai was extremely curious, silently observing Su Bai.

“Don’t look at me with that damn look. I was just lucky and cultivated a King Tier Beast.”

“Alright, I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going to farm dungeons now. See you later.”

Su Bai directly summoned the Four-Winged Red Finch, immediately attracting Sun Kai's attention.

This bird was too cool!

Why didn't I become a Beast Master?

“Oh, right, don’t forget about the exam.”

“There’s only one week left until the college entrance examination. I heard the reward for the champion this time is especially generous.”

Seeing Su Bai about to leave, Sun Kai immediately shouted.

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.”

“I’m leaving now.”

Su Bai rode the Four-Winged Red Finch and flew directly out of the city.

Fortunately, Beast Masters who reached the Lord Tier could control their beast's physical changes.

Otherwise, if those massive creatures entered the city, they would certainly attract the attention of other professionals.

However, even now, Su Bai flying on his flying beast in the sky still attracted a lot of attention.

“Damn it, having a flying beast is so awesome!”

“Isn’t it? It saves time even when going to dungeons.”

“Comparing people makes one furious!”

“When will I have a flying mount? That way, I won’t have to run to dungeons every day!”

“Damn Beast Masters, may they die a horrible death…”

A group of people looked at the figure soaring overhead, muttering curses.

After leaving Tang City, Su Bai lay on the Four-Winged Red Finch, contemplating the college entrance examination.

Leaving Tang City was not an easy task.

Either you obtained a travel permit from the City Lord's Mansion, or you participated in the college entrance examination to study at a top academy, or you needed to pay an extra, enormous teleportation fee to leave Tang City.

Because professionals who wanted to leave their city had to pass through a teleportation array.

This era was not a peaceful one; the wilderness roads were simply impassable. Who knew what terrifying Bosses lurked in the wilderness?

Aside from the areas near the major main cities that had been explored, too many undeveloped areas remained within the vast territory of the Meteor Empire.

Even top-tier professionals dared not venture into the wilderness at will.

The college entrance examination was a must-take, and he was now pondering how to conceal his talent.

Given the current situation, he could claim to have specialized in a unique Beast Master profession, which should barely be believable.

The Four-Winged Red Finch had stopped steadily, pausing at the dungeon entrance.

“Forget it, there’s always a way when you get to it. Let’s just level up first.”

Without thinking, Su Bai got off the Four-Winged Red Finch and looked at the red teleportation array before him.
