79: Chapter 79 Do You Want to Become Stronger?

The two hours of intense battle finally came to an end.

Qin Wanxing was as soft and submissive as a lazy kitten, curled up in Su Chen's broad embrace.

She let out a soft moan, seemingly finding her current posture uncomfortable. She shifted restlessly a few times before finding a warm, soft spot to rest her head.

"Wanxing'er, why are you acting so unusual today?" Su Chen's fingertips brushed across her flushed cheeks. With a lingering smile on his lips, he teased her softly.

"Hmph, didn't you understand my hint before the exam?"

Though her face was still flushed, Qin Wanxing was like a victorious little beast, stubbornly lifting her swan-like white neck with a hint of pride in her eyes.

But this spirited look only lasted for a second before she seemed to be drained of all strength, slumping back down limply.

There was no helping it; this knight, usually so valiant and heroic, was indeed severely exhausted.

"Good grief, so that threat of yours was meant in this sense."

"You win. You're truly impressive." Su Chen's lips couldn't help but twitch, feeling slightly speechless.

Although Qin Wanxing had indeed kept her word, the cost was clearly borne more by herself.

"Hmm, I quite like this style of yours. I suggest we do this more often in the future," Su Chen teased with a wicked grin.

"Oh, you're not allowed to laugh at me!" Qin Wanxing was overwhelmed with shame and indignation. She swung her weak little fists, playfully thumping Su Chen's chest in a coquettish tone.

In truth, she had indeed been a bit impulsive today.

Seeing Su Chen so familiar with Wen Ruoyun the past few days had left a sour taste in her heart.

Coupled with the lingering desire to surpass Su Chen in strength during the College Entrance Exam...

Most importantly, Su Chen's life-risking rescue at the critical moment had completely shattered her defenses.

With several layers of emotion stacking up, a moment of impulsiveness led to this "all-or-nothing" act.

"Wanxing'er, do you want to become stronger?"

Su Chen suddenly stopped her playfulness, accurately catching her mischievous little hands, his gaze turning serious.

Since she had become his first woman, as the successor of the Guiding Angel, he naturally had to provide the benefits she deserved.

"Who doesn't want to become stronger? Unfortunately, my foundation is just like that." Qin Wanxing's eyes dimmed slightly as she let out a soft sigh.

SS-rank talents and legendary-grade classes were the watershed of strength, and she happened to fall just short of both.

Although getting into Tianchen Academy wouldn't be a problem with her current advantages and pets, in a top-tier institution teeming with geniuses, this gap would only widen infinitely, eventually leaving her mediocre.

"I can help you achieve a qualitative change." Su Chen raised an eyebrow, his tone certain.

"Really?" Qin Wanxing looked up abruptly. A glimmer of hope sparked in her eyes, only to fade quickly.

She gave a self-deprecating laugh, clearly misunderstanding Su Chen's meaning. "Forget it. While equipment and pets are powerful, they are ultimately external things and can't keep up with one's own growth."

"No, I'm not referring to those." Su Chen threw a bombshell with a smile. "I can grant you a true legendary-grade class. So, how do you plan to reward me?"

"Give me a break, you're getting more and more ridiculous." Qin Wanxing rolled her eyes at him, not taking it to heart at all.

After all, in current knowledge, only Divine Miracles or the Guiding Angel could confer classes. She had never heard of professionals being able to grant ranks to each other.

"Sigh, these days, telling the truth gets you treated like a liar."

Su Chen shook his head with feigned solemnity.

His fingertips tapped lightly in the void. In an instant, the supreme authority of class granting was quietly activated.

[Ding! Class change contract established.]

[Your class has been successfully changed to: [Calamity Knight] (legendary-grade)!]

A legendary-grade class?!

Qin Wanxing's eyes suddenly widened, and her breathing became short and hot.

However, before she could carefully experience that surging power, Su Chen's mind moved, and he took back the class authority with a flick of his hand.

"Well? Do you believe I have this ability now?" Su Chen enjoyed her stunned expression with a playful look.

"You... how did you do that?" Qin Wanxing was completely shaken, her mouth forming a comical 'O' shape.

The impact this had on her was far more intense than Su Chen owning a dragon or slaying a 6th transition boss.

This was no longer in the realm of strength; it was touching upon the forbidden domain of the gods.

"It's a secret. Now, rephrase your words. Do you still want this class or not?" Su Chen crossed his arms, adopting the arrogant posture of a transcendent master.

"Brother Chen, I want it..."

The surprise instantly overwhelmed her reason. Qin Wanxing shamelessly hugged Su Chen's arm, her beautiful large eyes blinking pitifully.

"Tsk, a legendary-grade class for just a 'Brother'? That's too cheap." Having succeeded, Su Chen continued to push his luck.

"Daddy! Good Daddy! Please, just give it to me..." At this point, Qin Wanxing didn't care about her pride at all and cast aside all reserve. "In the future, no matter what you want to play or what you want me to do, I'll follow your lead and never resist!"

"Cough..."

Su Chen had originally just wanted to tease her and hear her call him "husband," but he hadn't expected this girl to lower her standards for the sake of becoming stronger even faster than he had imagined.

However, the allure of this reversal certainly made him feel extremely pleased, especially that last condition—it was enticing to the core.

He chuckled and stopped teasing her.

From the seven legendary templates in the Class Library, he selected the most destructive one, [Calamity Knight].

Although this was the opposite of her original "Paladin" sequence, its inherent laws of destruction perfectly complemented Qin Wanxing's defensive talent, transforming her from a pure shield into a walking killing machine.

"Wow! These skills are so domineering!"

"Husband, you're the best! I love you to death!"

After checking her panel, Qin Wanxing was flushed with excitement. She gave Su Chen a heavy kiss on the cheek, her eyes overflowing with near-blind adoration.

"There's no need for such formalities between us." Su Chen dotingly ruffled her long hair. "You've been busy for a long time and haven't had lunch yet, right? Come on, let's go downstairs and get you something to eat."

"Um... I..." Qin Wanxing's cheeks were burning. She shyly reached out her arms for a hug, her voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz. "My legs are weak, I can't stand up..."

This wasn't her intentionally acting spoiled; her "competitiveness" had been too strong, and she had insisted on challenging Su Chen. As a result, even her professional-rank body couldn't withstand that high-intensity "wear and tear."

Even with her knight constitution and talent-based damage reduction supporting her, she was indeed in a state where she couldn't move at the moment.

Su Chen, feeling both helpless and amused, scooped her up and carried her to the living room before returning to the kitchen.

The Mammoth meat from before had long since turned to charcoal, so he had to start the stove again.

"Eat more boss meat to nourish yourself. Let's see if you dare to show off in front of me next time." Su Chen walked out carrying a fragrant plate, a certain dangerous meaning in his smile.

"Hmph, I'm different now. I have a legendary-grade class too!" Qin Wanxing lifted her face, refusing to be outdone, and shouted habitually, "It's not certain who will win or lose next time!"

"Oh? Then why wait until next time?" Su Chen deliberately showed a devilish smile and made a move as if to pounce. "Since your status is fully recovered, why don't we try right now?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Qin Wanxing, who had just been talking tough, was instantly silenced, her face turning so red it looked like it might drip blood.
