151: Credits skyrocket

Cold, icy rain poured down haphazardly.

It was winter, and Pengcheng was experiencing a torrential downpour.

A clap of thunder roared!

"You want to kill me?"

Lao Qiyuan's words were more explosive than the thunder, his gaze as sharp as a sword, fixed on Li Jinxue.

He naturally knew Li Jinxue.

Time Attribute, Divine Power Realm One-Star.

Although not comparable to Lu Yuan, she was considered outstanding among the Freshman students at Pengcheng University.

What puzzled Lao Qiyuan was why Li Jinxue harbored murderous intent towards him.

Rumble—

Thunder rolled, and the atmosphere was tense!

Li Jinxue's expression was calm, but her heart was in turmoil.

She had already tried hard to suppress her killing intent towards Lao Qiyuan, yet she was still discovered.

"Principal, Li Jinxue killed many Great Shun Dynasty Practitioners in Starry Sky City; she might not have fully recovered yet." Lu Yuan interjected, thinking that Li Jinxue underestimated the Principal too much.

What kind of person was Lao Qiyuan?

He once served as the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sword Alliance and was hailed as the God of War of Huaxia!

The number of Demon and Monster Races and fierce beasts he had killed was countless, and he had crawled out of piles of corpses countless times.

There had indeed been successful cases of assassinating God Emperor Realm Experts in history.

But the conditions were extremely stringent!

Clearly, Li Jinxue had underestimated Lao Qiyuan; he was not in a completely relaxed state right now.

And even if there was an opportunity, whether she could break through a God Emperor Realm Expert's defense was still a question.

"Mm." Lao Qiyuan gave Li Jinxue a meaningful look.

Pengcheng University covered a vast area, and his encounter with Lu Yuan was not accidental; he was inquiring about matters in Starry Sky City.

"Just now, Chu Wushe was ambushed by Ancient Professionals in the mountains behind Imperial Capital University!"

Lao Qiyuan said.

"The mountains behind Imperial Capital University?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

What surprised him was not that Chu Wushe was ambushed, but the location of the ambush.

"Someone is secretly helping the Ancient Professionals; this organization possesses a spatial spirit tool," Lao Qiyuan explained.

Spirit artifacts were also divided into many types.

Among them, those related to space were the rarest and most precious!

"You were also present when Mu Yaoling was interrogated; their target is the five young people predicted by the Imperial Advisor, and you and Chu Wushe are the first to bear the brunt."

Lu Yuan nodded.

These five young people who would turn Blue Star upside down, according to his guess, might include Jiang Tianxia and Han Junchen.

As for the last person, he wasn't sure.

He had also considered his Older Sister or Senior Fu.

However, Mu Yaoling explicitly stated that they were Practitioners who awakened this year!

He, Chu Wushe, Jiang Tianxia, and Han Junchen perfectly matched the Imperial Advisor's prediction!

"Principal, do you really believe the prediction of the Imperial Advisor of the Great Shun Dynasty?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Yes!"

Lao Qiyuan's tone was firm.

"You, including Chu Wushe, are the most brilliant geniuses in the thousand years since the spiritual energy revival." Lao Qiyuan glanced at Li Jinxue again.

"This year is very special, if not for the awakening of Ancient Professionals, and if he hadn't died..."

Lao Qiyuan suppressed his excitement.

"According to the Supreme Alliance Leader's plan, Huaxia will launch a decisive battle against the Demon and Monster Races, and then unify Blue Star!" Lao Qiyuan's tone was filled with four words.

Go down in history!

Everyone longed to go down in history, to carve their names into the vast annals of time.

Especially someone like Lao Qiyuan, who had spent most of his life in the military!

Had Huaxia become this strong?

Lu Yuan processed the massive amount of information.

"When the decisive battle between Huaxia and the Demon and Monster Races officially begins, it will be an opportunity for Huaxia, and also an opportunity for you young people!" Lao Qiyuan said no more.

Even if he didn't tell Lu Yuan these things, the Alliance Leaders of the Seven Alliances and One Hall would tell Lu Yuan sometime soon.

Watching Lao Qiyuan leave in the heavy rain, Lu Yuan turned to look at Li Jinxue.

"What was he saying to you?"

Li Jinxue asked.

She was right beside Lu Yuan, yet she couldn't hear what Lao Qiyuan was saying.

"Don't be so reckless next time." Lu Yuan didn't answer Li Jinxue, instead bringing up the terrifying scene from just now.

Li Jinxue bit her lip.

She knew, without Lu Yuan telling her, that she had been too reckless just now.

"Thank you." Li Jinxue said softly.

If Lu Yuan hadn't helped smooth things over, she wouldn't have died, but she would have had no hope of revenge in this lifetime.

The heavy rain continued, and Lu Yuan and Li Jinxue went their separate ways back to their residences.

In the teaching building, students walked briskly.

"Holy crap!"

A national expletive rang out, instantly attracting the students' attention.

"What's with the 'holy crap'? You scared me!"

"Lu... Lu Yuan!"

Someone pointed at the academic credits displayed on the big screen.

academic credits were especially important at Pengcheng University, not only determining whether one could graduate smoothly, but also being closely related to daily life, food, housing, transportation, and the use of special cultivation grounds.

Especially the special cultivation grounds!

In addition to earning academic credits by hunting fierce beasts, Pengcheng University also set up numerous rankings to encourage students to climb the ranks and receive rewards.

At this moment, the rankings were scrolling in real-time on the large screen in the teaching building.

Freshman to Senior, and so on.

[Freshman Lu Yuan, 1st place, 3 million academic credits]

[Freshman Han Junchen, 2nd place, 600,000 academic credits]

...[Sophomore Wu Yanchen, 1st place, 800,000 academic credits]

[Sophomore He Yuexi, 2nd place, 600,000 academic credits]

...Lu Yuan's academic credits reaching 3 million points didn't surprise passing students.

Long ago, Lu Yuan had dominated the Freshman academic credit leaderboard, and his cumulative academic credits this year were even higher than that of Ren Mingjie, the first-place Senior.

And it was a landslide lead!

Ren Mingjie, the number one person at Pengcheng University, had just broken through to the Law Realm not long ago.

Seeing Lu Yuan's academic credits soar again on the teaching building's big screen, the students were dumbfounded.

3.5 million, 4 million, 4.5 million... "What's going on? Is the machine broken? How did Lu Yuan's academic credits rise to ten million!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, it's still rising!"

More and more people gathered in the teaching building, watching Lu Yuan's academic credits skyrocket at an extremely exaggerated rate.

First the students, then the instructors, and finally, three Vice Principals arrived in person!

"How many fierce beasts did Lu Yuan kill?"

Vice Principal Zhan ShouZheng murmured.

Even he had never seen so many academic credits!

"Lu Yuan indeed just returned from No Man's Land; I saw him chatting with the Principal." Another Vice Principal said.

Only upon returning to school from No Man's Land would academic credits be refreshed.

99999+

After a while, Lu Yuan's academic credits stopped rising, fixing at 99999+.

Students present: "..."

Instructors: "..."

Zhan ShouZheng rubbed his temples.

So many nines, he almost couldn't recognize the number.

On all the ranking lists that awarded prizes based on academic credits, the first place uniformly became Lu Yuan's name!

"If only I had this many academic credits, even half would be enough for me to stay in the special cultivation grounds until I die!"

"I remember academic credits can be exchanged for anything, even for becoming the Principal!"

"Become the Principal?"

Hearing this, Zhan ShouZheng's expression became strange.

Since the founding of Pengcheng University, no student had ever served as Principal.

None other than the academic credits required were simply too high!

"Would Lu Yuan do that?" Zhan ShouZheng asked.

The two Vice Principals' mouths twitched.

Now it wasn't a matter of whether Lu Yuan would, but whether he wanted to!

Given Lu Yuan's current academic credits, even if being Principal required ten million academic credits a month, it would be enough for him to serve until graduation!
