50: Chapter 50 You're SS-Rank? Mu Qianqian's True Identity

"Dean, the high school test is reliable, really, it’s very accurate, there’s no need to test again,"

Student Lin Yuan said with a slight smile and seriousness, the meaning was clear: I have some secrets I don't want you to know, so don't push your luck---

"But what if I just don't believe it?"

Mu Qianqian stepped forward, looking seriously into his eyes, and a burst of girlish fragrance made Lin Yuan’s heart flutter.

"Cough cough--- Then let's test it,""

Lin Yuan took a step back, shrugged, and then walked toward the instrument.

Since the Academy was offering him so many top-tier resources, they wouldn't do anything against him; on the contrary, the higher his talent, the more cultivation he would receive from the Academy.

Once he figured this out, Lin Yuan stopped caring. Even if this woman suddenly turned against him, he could still leave Qing University calmly by relying on Chu Yunfeng as his trump card.

Seeing this, Mu Qianqian smiled slightly. So, I can’t handle a little slippery fellow like you, huh.

Mu Qianqian suspected Lin Yuan’s ability was more than S-Rank. Although she knew the possibility was slim, she still wanted to test it—what if there was a surprise?

After all, the talent and strength Lin Yuan displayed were absolutely not something an S-Rank ability user could possess.

Because she herself was an S-Rank ability possessor, she considered herself quite a genius, but compared to Lin Yuan, she was completely inferior back then, with a huge gap.

Lin Yuan first walked up to the Martial Arts Tester and placed his hand on it. A few seconds later, several red characters appeared on the screen: "Martial Artist First Order Peak."

"What? You only have the Martial Arts Level of First Order Peak? How is that possible?" Mu Qianqian blurted out in shock.

She thought Lin Yuan would at least have the Martial Arts Level of Second Order Mid-Stage. After all, even monstrous talents could fight across levels; a Second Order Mid-Stage possessing the combat power of Second Order Peak was already extremely monstrous.

But now she suddenly discovered that the other party only had the Martial Arts Level of First Order Peak, which completely shattered her perception.

"Dean, First Order Peak is already quite good. How old am I?"

Lin Yuan said irritably. He thought Mu Qianqian felt his Martial Arts Level was too low...

"No, that's not what I meant. Student Lin Yuan, quickly, test your combat power again," Mu Qianqian repeatedly waved her hands and pointed to the testing instrument next to her.

Lin Yuan nodded. He hadn't used this thing before. He clenched his fist, circulated the spiritual energy within his body, and then suddenly unleashed a punch.

The fist, like a cannonball, carried powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Amidst the sound of air bursting, the punch slammed into the testing target.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the numbers on the screen quickly jumped up.

Ten thousand...

Fifty thousand...

One hundred thousand...

Finally, the number stopped at twenty-eight thousand.

Looking at the number on the screen, Mu Qianqian was once again unsettled. It actually exceeded the combat power standard for Second Order Peak by twelve thousand points. This wasn't a genius fighting across levels; this was a monster crossing an entire major realm...

When Mu Qianqian looked at Lin Yuan again, she suspected whether Lin Yuan was the reincarnation of some mighty expert from the starry sky---

Lin Yuan looked at the number and nodded with satisfaction. Normal performance.

"Student Lin Yuan, sending you to participate in the Martial Arts Examination seems like bullying the other candidates a bit too much..." Mu Qianqian chuckled lightly.

"Uh--- I'm not bullying them, I only kill fierce beasts,"

Lin Yuan said seriously. Mu Qianqian rolled her eyes directly and pointed to the last ability testing instrument.

"Test your ability now."

"Fine---"

Lin Yuan reluctantly placed his hand on the testing instrument. Mu Qianqian immediately stared at the screen expectantly.

A few seconds later, a bright red SS appeared on the screen.

Thump thump thump!

Mu Qianqian took several steps back, staring at the screen excitedly, with even a hint of tears flashing in her eyes.

"You--- You--- You are SS-Rank?" Mu Qianqian said excitedly.

"Yes, isn't it written right there? I am SS-Rank. I hope the Dean can keep it a secret for me," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"It really is SS-Rank, it really is--- Student Lin Yuan, don't worry, outsiders won't know a single word about your situation,"

Mu Qianqian murmured, her eyes never leaving the SS on the screen.

"Then--- If the Dean doesn't need anything else, I'll take my leave now,"

Lin Yuan saw Mu Qianqian zoning out, so he took his leave, intending to go. The items were already obtained anyway.

"Student Lin Yuan, wait a moment, take out your student card," Mu Qianqian slightly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Lin Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan directly took out his student card and handed it to Mu Qianqian.

Mu Qianqian took the card, scanned it on a small instrument beside her, and then handed it back to him.

"I have already raised your clearance level. This way, it will be more convenient for you in the Academy from now on," Mu Qianqian said with a smile.

"Mhm, thank you, Dean," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

"You can go take a look at the Martial Arts Hall. Also, in seven days, it will be the final test for the second-year students. You--- must also participate," Mu Qianqian's lips curled up slightly.

"Aren't you a monster? Then I'll give you some pressure. The second year has two students who just broke through to Third Order, with combat power exceeding thirty-two thousand. Let them grind down your arrogance," Mu Qianqian plotted in her heart.

"I'm participating in the second-year test? Are there fierce beasts to kill?" Lin Yuan frowned and asked.

"The test item is killing fierce beasts, scored by points, similar to the Martial Arts Examination you participated in. However, you can steal points from each other. As long as no one dies, any means are allowed."

"Then there's no problem, as long as there are fierce beasts,"

Lin Yuan readily agreed. How could he refuse ability points?

Hearing this, Mu Qianqian slightly lifted the corner of her mouth, which Lin Yuan immediately caught.

"It seems the Dean did this on purpose. Then let me witness the strength of the second-year seniors,"

With that thought, Lin Yuan cupped his hands in farewell:

"Dean, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back now."

"Mhm, go ahead."

Mu Qianqian's pretty face hid a trace of triumphant satisfaction from a scheme succeeding, which made Lin Yuan very displeased. As he was leaving the door, Lin Yuan suddenly turned back, his mouth curved into a smile, and he said:

"Dean, when I was cultivating on the third floor of the Martial God Tower, were you secretly watching me?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yuan took a step and performed a Space Warp, vanishing instantly from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already on the plaza downstairs, and then he quickly left the scene.

He could faintly hear Mu Qianqian's delicate shout of his name coming from the office building behind him...

Mu Qianqian's full chest rose and fell at this moment. Recalling Lin Yuan's handsome face and toned muscles---

Her face instantly flushed red again. "Hmph! You little brat, daring to flirt with me! We'll see if you can still smile during the second-year final test---"

Despite saying that, a faint, almost imperceptible smile still hung on her face.

Mu Qianqian returned to her seat, waved her hand, and a barrier appeared around her. She took out a mobile phone from her space ring and dialed a number?

"Uncle Hua, it's me. Are you feeling better recently?" Mu Qianqian said softly.

"Eldest Miss, I'm still the same. Alas--- this injury cannot be healed in a short time," Uncle Hua sighed.

"Uncle Hua, I have good news for you. Qing University recruited a New Student this year whose ability level is SS-Rank. His talent is terrifyingly strong; he can fight across major realms. Even in the vast Star Alliance, he is absolutely a top-tier prodigy. Perhaps we can go home early,"

Mu Qianqian said with pleasant surprise.

"Really? That's great! He can definitely surpass the Martial God Realm. Then we can return to the Star Alliance," Uncle Hua was also extremely excited upon hearing this.

"Mhm, Uncle Hua, if you hadn't risked your life to protect me back then, your cultivation wouldn't have dropped to the Half Step Martial God Realm. Otherwise, we could have returned to the Star Alliance anytime,"

Mu Qianqian said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter. Protecting the Young Miss's safety is the duty of me, Hua Hongfeng. It's just delaying things on Blue Star for a while longer."

It turned out that Mu Qianqian was not a native of Blue Star. She had accidentally arrived on Blue Star years ago after being attacked by interstellar hunters while traveling through space. She eventually ended up at Qing University and even became the Dean.

They couldn't leave Blue Star because only an expert who surpassed the Martial God Realm could take her out into the starry sky to return to the Star Alliance she spoke of.

Lin Yuan's powerful talent finally gave her hope of returning home...
