81: Strange Coincidence

“Uh, so, should I go kill that Huang Yao?”

Yang Shuo also scratched his head awkwardly. Seeing this, Shadow said no more. “Huang Yao is a member of Great Wall Academy after all. It’s better not to act if possible.”

Saying that, he took out a thick stack of intelligence reports. “This Huang Family does business in demon cores. It can be said that thirty percent of the demon cores in the entire Chuan Yue District are controlled by this Huang Family.

You should understand how many lightning-type and wind-type demon cores are among them; I don’t need to say more.”

Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Yang Shuo’s eyes. He looked at the information that had just been handed over and revealed a confident smile. “Isn't it just robbing the Huang Family's merchant team? It’s a piece of cake.”

“Which of these merchant teams are you going to target?”

“If I’m going, I’ll go for the strongest one. I’ll take the merchant team where Huang Zhonghua is.”

In the intelligence report, more than a dozen large merchant teams were marked, with detailed information about the Huang Family's person in charge and their strength.

That Huang Zhonghua was merely at the third level of the Martial General Realm, only in the middle to lower tier among the dozen-plus merchant teams.

Looking at Yang Shuo’s confident appearance, Shadow actually thought he had chosen the strongest large merchant team.

Fortunately, after spending some time together, he had come to understand some of Yang Shuo’s personality, so it wasn’t surprising.

Ever since Yang Shuo broke through to the Martial General Realm, he had become much more confident, no longer as silent as before.

“Oh, right, I’m preparing to break through to Martial General. Don’t come around during this time.”

Shadow suddenly said, “Also, in half a month, the Thunder Treasure Valley in the Dream Marsh District will open. People from several nearby academies will be going. You can also take this opportunity to check it out.

Before that, you can handle the Huang Family matter. Maybe you can even make further progress.”

Yang Shuo nodded. He also knew about the situation in Thunder Treasure Valley. It was a treasure land in the Dream Marsh District, where thunder clouds covered the area year-round, and it was almost entirely filled with lightning-type spirit herbs and demon beasts.

Because of its excellent geographical location and rich resources, it was protected by Great Xia.

It only opened once every five years, for long-term sustainable development, and next month was the five-year opening time.

“Don’t worry, I will go. As for the Huang Family, I won’t let them off either!”

After speaking, Yang Shuo drained the juice in front of him in one gulp, then reached out, put on a ferocious mask, and strode away.

Shadow looked at the empty glass in front of him, then looked at the now empty bar, and was momentarily stunned. After a long time, he picked up the glass and began to wash it.

Meanwhile, within Great Wall Academy, in Li Mingxuan's dormitory, as a surge of aura erupted, he successfully completed his Breakthrough.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them. “Martial Warrior Realm fourth level, finally reached.”

After returning from Mo City, Li Mingxuan obtained a top-grade B-grade Cultivation Technique from Yue Shan. Afterwards, he fought Huang Yao, defeated him, and gained a lot of points.

He then used the points to exchange for various rare metals and traded them with Yue Shan for a spear technique that barely reached B-grade. Now, his strength had greatly improved.

“Kid, your speed of strength improvement is not bad, but your practical combat ability is still too poor. The cultivation of these Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills requires not only a large amount of resources but also practical combat ability.”

Yue Shan’s voice rumbled. Li Mingxuan did not refute this. Although he had obtained the B-grade spear technique, he had only just started practicing it and was still a long way from mastering it.

“What, do you have a way?”

“Go into actual combat, not the virtual combat in your academy, but real life-and-death combat. Only then can you stimulate your potential.”

Li Mingxuan frowned. He also knew that what the other party said was correct. “I can only go to the battlefield next semester. There’s no way to go now.”

“I didn’t tell you to go to the battlefield. Even if you go now, you can only clear out miscellaneous soldiers. If you go deep into the Inner Perimeter of the demon beasts, you’re just seeking death.”

Yue Shan said without any hesitation, “Flowers in a greenhouse are ultimately fragile. And don’t forget that Huang Yao from the Huang Family has resented you for a long time.

You know the strength of their family. If you don’t quickly improve your strength or give me enough rare metals, then how will you and your ordinary older brother handle their revenge?”

Hearing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Li Mingxuan’s eyes. Obviously, he also thought of Huang Yao’s hateful expression after his previous defeat.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a deep voice, “Can you destroy the Huang Family?”

“My current strength is not enough, and you also can’t afford the price for me to act. At most, I can take you to escape.”

Yue Shan said calmly, “Although your older brother has gone out, the Huang Family won’t find him easily. But you wouldn’t pray that they will never notice him, right?”

Li Mingxuan understood that if the Huang Family really noticed his older brother, it would be dangerous.

This gave him, who had been developing steadily, a sense of crisis. This situation somewhat diluted the joy of his recent Breakthrough.

“It seems I need to take on more missions!”

The academic atmosphere of Great Wall Academy was tough. Except for the first semester, students were sent to battlefields in various districts to fight against demon beasts during the rest of the time.

But that didn't mean there were no missions to receive within the academy. This was also to allow students to earn academic credits, and even more to allow students to temper their minds through missions, so they wouldn't be scared stiff by demon beasts when they went to the battlefield.

With this thought in mind, he immediately left the dormitory, preparing to go to the academy's mission hall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the door, he saw two familiar figures walking towards him. They also saw Li Mingxuan, and smiles immediately appeared on their faces. “Brother Xuan!”

The newcomers were precisely Qin Tian and Zhao Qianjun. Li Mingxuan immediately felt the aura on their bodies that had not yet been completely contained. The two had already broken through to the Martial Warrior Realm.

Even within Great Wall Academy, most people were only at Martial Artist eighth or ninth level. Only a small group could break through to the Martial Warrior Realm in just two months.

“What have you two been up to?”

Besides the Martial Warrior Realm aura, there was even a hint of blood smell on their bodies, which surprised him a little.

Hearing this, Zhao Qianjun was about to speak but was covered by Qin Tian, who then looked at Li Mingxuan. “Brother Xuan, let’s go to our dormitory first.”

Li Mingxuan was a little surprised, but seeing that there were other people on the road, he nodded.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Qin Tian’s dormitory. Then, without hesitation, the two of them took out two masks.

These two masks were very rough, as if they had been made casually.

“Brother Xuan, we are now Shadow Killers!”

“?”

Li Mingxuan was startled at first, then frowned. “Why?”

Seeing Li Mingxuan’s expression, Qin Tian knew that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly explained: “Brother Xuan, we haven’t killed ordinary people or innocent people. We only kill those like Wang Yixuan who are arrogant and wicked!”

Zhao Qianjun also echoed from the side, “Brother Xuan, this Shadow organization is really different. Listen to us explain slowly.”
