81: Shengjing Exchange!

“Li Pengfei, will you die if you don’t speak? What, you don’t put our captain in your eyes?”

Xiao Qianqian stood with her hands on her hips, clearly in a huff.

“Captain, why are you defending this kid so much? Is it just because War God Hu Jun brought him?”

Facing Xiao Qianqian’s pressure, Li Pengfei’s tone softened a bit.

“Fine, I’ll give you Face today.”

After speaking, Li Pengfei said to Xia Qi with a dark expression, “I know you’re a crony, but don’t think you can do whatever you want just because War God Hu Jun is backing you.”

“At War God Academy, we value strength, not connections.”

“For this Trial, we can take you, but please stay obediently behind the team and don’t do anything that drags the team down, otherwise, I, Li Pengfei, will be the first to deal with you impolitely.”

Xia Qi smiled. He hadn't said a word the whole time, and Li Pengfei was already acting like a big shot.

He had seen arrogant people before; Su Yuanchen was like that.

But compared to Li Pengfei, Xia Qi felt that Su Yuanchen was much more likable than this guy.

“Idiot?”

Xia Qi suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but everyone heard it clearly.

Li Pengfei’s expression instantly changed, “What did you just say!”

The next second, a strong energy fluctuation emerged from the staff in his hand, and scorching flames swept forth, as if an attack was about to be launched.

Xia Qi narrowed his right eye, and his left pupil began to flicker.

“Duplicate Element Talent, unable to replicate.”

Although the replication failed, at least he knew this guy had a fire element Talent.

It seemed his Rank should be SS-Rank, because he couldn't replicate SSS-Rank Talent yet.

No wonder he was so arrogant.

Xiao Qianqian took a step and stood between the two, her expression instantly darkening, “Li Pengfei, why don’t you be the captain?”

“Are you really bullying a newcomer right in front of me? You don’t put me, the captain, in your eyes, do you!”

Seeing Xiao Qianqian about to explode in anger, Li Pengfei was like a chick whose throat had been choked, all his arrogance gone.

“No, Sister Qianqian, I’ll give you Face.”

Saying that, he glared fiercely at Xia Qi and walked to the side, no longer speaking.

However, everyone could see it.

He was very unconvinced. If looks could kill.

Xia Qi had probably been killed countless times in his mind by him.

Xiao Qianqian turned around and said with a very apologetic expression, “Little brother, your senior apologizes to you. Don’t lower yourself to Li Pengfei’s level.”

“Today we’ll just go through the motions. We’ll gather here at 9 AM tomorrow, and I’ll tell you the specific Trial content then.”

“No problem.”

Xia Qi nodded.

“Alright then, you go back and buy some supplies today. See you tomorrow.”

Xiao Qianqian smiled and waved her hand. Xia Qi glanced at Li Pengfei, then turned and left.

After Xia Qi had walked far away.

Xiao Qianqian turned her head, her expression uncertain as she stared at Li Pengfei.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, she sighed helplessly.

“Pengfei, I know you have grievances. Your brother’s spot was taken by Xia Qi, but personal grudges cannot affect the team.”

“Xia Qi was brought personally by War God Hu Jun. Do you know what that means? When have you ever seen War God Hu Jun personally bring someone?”

“I hope you consider the bigger picture and don’t lose sight of what’s important.”

At these words, Li Pengfei’s expression also became very ugly, “I am indeed uncomfortable. My brother is so excellent, why should his spot be taken by a freshman?”

“However, I know my limits, so don’t worry about it.”

Xiao Qianqian nodded helplessly, “I’ll remind you one last time, don’t cause trouble. I’m begging you.”

Li Pengfei turned and left, not responding to Xiao Qianqian’s words.

Xiao Qianqian looked at Li Pengfei’s back and felt an inexplicable irritation.

She knew Li Pengfei’s personality very well. He said he knew his limits, but in reality, he was an impulsive person.

Forget it, she would just keep a close eye on Li Pengfei then.

Under her protection, Xia Qi should be fine.

Shengjing Exchange.

Xia Qi wandered around and found that there were no particularly suitable items for exchange.

The most used supplies by professionals were, firstly, energy potions, to replenish internal energy.

Secondly, Life potions, which could be used to treat injuries.

Of course, there were many other types of supplies, such as Swiftwind Potions, to increase speed.

Various elemental potions, to enchant weapons.

And defensive potions, to enhance magic defense and physical defense, and so on.

These types of potions still had some effect on Xia Qi, but their integral value was high, and the amplification intensity was not too high. After some consideration, Xia Qi still couldn't bear to use his current integrals.

As for energy potions, he could make them himself using his Talent.

Life potions and such items actually made little difference whether he had them or not. With Xia Qi’s current strength, even if he couldn’t win, he could still run away.

He would save the integrals; they might be of great use later.

After browsing for about half an hour, Xia Qi’s eyes lit up. He actually found Talent Potions for sale in the exchange.

“Talent Potion, price 1000 integrals.”

A thousand integrals was indeed a bit expensive. He had less than 100,000 integrals in his hand, barely enough to buy a hundred bottles of potions.

But this was the second place, besides the black market, where Talent Potions were traded.

Xia Qi walked up and asked, “Is there a limit on the purchase quantity of Talent Potions?”

The one who responded to Xia Qi was a female senior student wearing glasses, “A student can only purchase a hundred bottles within a year.”

A hundred bottles, alright.

Xia Qi nodded. Such a restriction was understandable.

Shengjing University had many students, and Talent Potions were indispensable items for improving Talent.

So even if there was inventory, there would be certain restrictions.

However, a hundred bottles were still far from his target. To upgrade Congenital Double Pupils LV3 to LV4, he needed a thousand bottles of Talent Potions.

That still left nine hundred bottles of Talent Potions. He probably still had to inquire at the black market in Kyoto City.

“Oh, junior, are you buying something here?”

A bell-like voice rang in Xia Qi’s ears. Xia Qi turned his head and found that the person speaking was the senior who had helped him get familiar with the school yesterday.

“Senior Luo Zisheng?”

“That’s right, you have a good memory.”

Luo Zisheng walked over with a smile, looked at the items in the display cabinet, “What, are you buying Talent Potions?”

“No, I was just asking. It’s just that I might be entering a Trial tomorrow, so I came to buy some supplies.”

“Tomorrow’s Trial? You’re not talking about the War God Academy Trial, are you?”

Luo Zisheng looked at Xia Qi with some surprise. She hadn't expected Xia Qi, being just a freshman, to be able to participate in the War God Academy Trial.

“No wonder I heard today that a new person went to War God Academy. So it was you! I’m from the Hidden Dragon Academy next door. If you ever need anything, you can ask me for help.”

“Oh, by the way, would it be convenient to add me as a friend? I think you look a lot like someone I know, and I feel a sense of familiarity.”

Xia Qi thought for a moment, then nodded. They added each other as friends.

“Who is this familiar person you mentioned?”

“Teacher Xia Dongliu, do you know him?”
