Mysterious light? What the hell is that?

Xia Bingxue felt a bit embarrassed when she heard that; she didn't have that much money on her.

She hesitated for a moment, then admitted,

"I don't have that much money with me..."

"Can I give it to you when I get back?"

She frowned slightly, pulling at the corners of her mouth:

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you as soon as I get back. I won't owe you; my credit is very good."

She smiled, looking at Li Xunle, and gently placed the equipment into her character's backpack.

"Sure, no rush."

Li Xunle, however, was indifferent, unconcerned.

He looked south, his eyes thoughtful:

"Let's go, continue south. Wealth awaits us."

With that, he strode off gracefully towards the south.

Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan immediately followed suit.

Zhao Hao happily trailed behind.

They occasionally checked messages in the academy's WeChat group.

In the group, trial students would periodically post photos of absurd monsters they encountered.

Things like skeleton monsters, zombie monsters, bone spirits, fierce beasts... Some pictures were eerie and terrifying, scaring some timid girls in the group.

Suddenly.

A message caught everyone's attention:

"Huge news! I just saw Lin Yu and Li Chen, Sword Saint actually PK-ing!!!"

"What? No way! Pictures or it didn't happen, don't talk nonsense!"

"It's true, look, these are the pictures I took!"

"Holy cow, it really is them two? Lin Yu's competitive spirit is a bit strong; Li Chen, Sword Saint must have been forced to PK with him."

"Brother, what's the outcome? Waiting online!"

"I don't know... they kept fighting and then moved away, but! I saw Li Chen, Sword Saint actually flying with his Sword Control Technique!!!"

"What? Flying with Sword Control Technique? Sword Control Technique?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Chen, Sword Saint's family isn't wealthy. How could he afford this six-star Sword Control Technique?"

"Don't forget, he's a hidden class—Sword Saint. There's a chance he'll automatically learn some advanced skills."

"That makes sense! I almost forgot about that."

"Brother, where are you? I want to go see..."

"Currently in the southeast, but I don't know where they'll be later..."

...In the wilderness trial, the academy didn't prohibit fighting, so wilderness PK was common.

After all, this was a real world, and experiencing real combat helped students temper their character.

The academy only emphasized that one couldn't kill without cause.

If the other party tried to kill you, you could still fight back fiercely.

Even kill the opponent.

The prerequisite was that you needed evidence.

Otherwise, the academy couldn't speak for you, and the Xia Country Law Enforcement Team might arrest you.

The consequences would be hard to say.

Unless your strength was so great that the Xia Country Law Enforcement Team couldn't do anything to you.

Or, if you didn't enter the city and stayed in the wilderness year-round, then the possibility of being caught would be greatly reduced.

But the wilderness had extremely harsh living conditions; one careless mistake could lead to being killed by monsters.

So even many people who committed crimes weren't willing to stay in the wilderness, unless they had no other choice... Zhao Hao walked, keeping an eye on the group's messages:

"Big Brother, the group says Lin Yu and Li Chen, Sword Saint are clashing, but we don't know who's stronger or weaker, and I heard Li Chen, Sword Saint knows the Sword Control Technique!"

Li Xunle slowed his steps, raising an eyebrow:

"Lin Yu and Li Chen, Sword Saint? Sword Control Technique?"

He knew a little about these two, but not much.

Lin Yu was relatively more familiar, having fought him before.

He was a very competitive person.

But Li Chen, Sword Saint was a very low-key person, and he was pure-hearted and ascetic, like an ascetic monk.

Before he changed to a hidden class, he was unknown.

Therefore, Li Xunle didn't know him too well.

But he knew Guan Shanyue valued him greatly and recognized him, which indicated that Li Chen, Sword Saint truly had something special.

However, he didn't pay much attention to their outcome; neither of them could beat him anyway.

Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan were also very surprised.

They never expected Lin Yu and Li Chen, Sword Saint to clash.

Their gazes turned to Li Xunle, guessing whose strength, Li Chen, Sword Saint's or Li Xunle's, was superior.

One had to know that since Li Chen, Sword Saint knew the Sword Control Technique, his speed would definitely be terrifying.

Li Xunle's speed, by comparison, would probably be quite lacking.

If that were the case, a fight between the two should result in both sides being injured.

According to their guess, before Li Chen, Sword Saint could kill Li Xunle, Li Xunle would certainly be able to inflict two or three poison rings on Li Chen, Sword Saint, so he would definitely die.

Of course, there was another point.

That was to see whose range was further, Li Chen, Sword Saint's Sword Control Technique or Li Xunle's poison release distance.

The one with the greater range would have the advantage.

Perhaps only Li Xunle himself knew that he was invincible.

Don't forget, his strongest ability was Immortality!

This secret was known only to him.

He wasn't afraid of death; increasing his speed was merely to reduce injuries.

"Li Xunle, do you think you can beat Li Chen, Sword Saint?"

Xia Bingxue was very curious and asked tentatively.

"Li Chen, Sword Saint? Let alone Li Chen, Sword Saint, even Li Chen, Sword Saint plus Lin Yu couldn't beat me!"

Li Xunle laughed heartily, not putting them in his eyes at all.

Tan Huan sighed from the side:

"See, Zhao Hao, look at your Big Brother, how confident he is. You should learn more from him!"

Although Zhao Hao thought Li Xunle was a bit exaggerated, as a brother, he had to support him:

"Of course! Even if they both teamed up, they couldn't beat Big Brother. I need to learn this slowly!"

Zhao Hao was very shrewd.

He had to cling tightly to this leg.

At this point, even a fool would know what to say.

Even if Li Xunle's words were exaggerated, he certainly wouldn't undermine him in front of outsiders.

Zhao Hao finished speaking and looked at Li Xunle: "Right! Big Brother!"

"Not bad, your words have a lot of spirit!" Li Xunle praised him cheerfully.

"Setting a flag usually backfires, doesn't it?"

Tan Huan muttered softly.

"It won't happen at all." Li Xunle was very confident.

Time slowly passed.

Li Xunle led the three, clearing monsters all the way. Along the way, they encountered a five-star monster, but it still didn't last more than two minutes.

It also dropped three five-star pieces of equipment and one star-up gem.

They were quite valuable.

Their character backpacks were full.

198 one-star items, 68 two-star items, 26 three-star items, 9 four-star items, and 5 five-star items.

There were also many upgrade gems, star-up gems, and attribute gems.

This made Xia Bingxue very happy.

This was only the first day, and there were more than ten days left.

At this rate, it was very likely that their bags wouldn't be enough.

She was already imagining how surprised her father would be when she showed him all these things.

At the same time, everyone's levels had also increased.

However, it was indeed as Teacher Tang Wu said: levels were easy to raise before level 30, but after level 30, leveling up became slow.

Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan's levels reached 27.

Zhao Hao and Li Xunle's levels were 31 and 32 respectively.

Li Xunle estimated that at this rate, he might only reach around level 40 in half a month.

It was even possible he wouldn't reach it, because the higher the level, the more experience points were needed.

Dusk was falling; unknowingly, a day was about to pass.

Tan Huan was a bit worried:

"Li Xunle, we're already fifty miles south. Shouldn't we consider finding a safe place to spend the night?"

Before Li Xunle could speak, Zhao Hao spoke first:

"Of course! We should keep an eye out for any shelters."

It took them half an hour.

They found a decent-sized stone cave, large enough to accommodate seven or eight people.

Li Xunle pondered for a moment, then decided:

"This will do!"

The others readily agreed.

Aside from a cave entrance large enough for two or three people, the interior was all stone walls.

It was a natural shelter.

They only needed to guard the entrance and wouldn't have to worry about any problems.

Just as they were about to rest for a bit... Suddenly!

A bright light appeared outside the cave!
