62: I can switch jobs! (Bonus chapter)

Jiang Hao returned to the dormitory. Since it was still early, he prepared to start a tense and exciting 5V5 team battle to get a feel for things.

As for lunch, ordinary food in the school was free.

Edible exotic beasts required points.

As long as the meal was ordered in advance, the school cafeteria would deliver it to the top one hundred students in the grade.

And Jiang Hao currently held the title of number one in the Xia Kingdom and number one in the freshman ranking battle, with a total of one thousand points!

"Tomorrow, I'll go pick out a good perception-type Saint-rank Martial Skill!"

Today, Jiang Hao was truly fed up with Feng Qiluo flitting around like a mouse.

"If only I had two thousand points! I could pick out an additional pure spirit-attack Martial Skill!"

Looking at the fishing rod tossed casually in the corner, he shook his head, dismissing the idea of using the Principal as bait.

He took out the crown and placed it on his head.

Principal Xia had already promised that this was an exclusive item for the eight of them; they could use it even if they left Shenzhou Martial Arts School!

"Combat Space, activate!!!"

..."Student Xia! Wait for me!"

Xia Pengcheng, who was about to go to the cafeteria for breakfast, heard someone calling him and looked back.

Is this... one of those fans who was cheering for me earlier?

And it's a very pretty female fan!!!

Xia Pengcheng instantly wiped away the sad face he had from being ignored by the others earlier, replacing it with a haughty, unconventional expression.

"It's you. I saw you stand up and applaud for me earlier. Is there something you need?"

Xia Pengcheng's only three experiences dealing with the opposite sex outside of his family...

Were being beaten up by Feng Qiluo and being mocked by that bratty girl from the Yu Family.

And being slapped in the face by the two-faced girl from the Xing Family.

Now, he could only try to find a way to send a message to the group for help.

That's right! That guy Jiang Hao must have many female fans; he must know what to do!

At this moment, Jiang Hao was surrounded by four Seniors whose faces read:

"This round is taking off!"

"Time to get carried again!"

"Brother Jiang, what map and spawn point do you choose?" a junior asked, bowing his head respectfully.

"Doesn't matter, anything is fine!" Jiang Hao casually chose a grassland map.

He chose the very center as the location!

A Senior offered a bit of flattery:

"Brother Jiang's choice of location is truly brilliant! The opponents will never expect someone to choose the center!"

Another introverted Senior with glasses and a bowl cut also nodded in agreement:

"The opponents will definitely choose the edge, and by appearing in the middle, we can resolve the fight faster!"

The battle began. The opponents were also on the grass map, and the two sides were no more than five meters apart.

Everyone was stunned.

"Well, this makes things convenient!"

Saber Qi tore through the air, sending all five opponents who were huddled together packing with a single strike.

Today, I'm going to grind until I reach a thousand points, dammit!!!

...Night fell, and Jiang Hao took off the crown.

He stretched his neck and took out the lunch that had been delivered long ago.

Jiang Hao had opened the door to get it halfway through his point-grinding session and then put it in his storage space, so it was still warm.

Opening his bracelet, he first added the fei xin account of Vice Dean Zhou recommended by Teacher Tang.

He sent a greeting to the Vice Dean and then briefly mentioned that he was going to exchange for a Martial Skill tomorrow morning.

Vice Dean Zhou replied quickly, saying he happened to be free tomorrow and could accompany him.

After finishing the serious business, he added the 760 points he had earned today.

Perhaps today's freshman ranking battle had stimulated those Seniors who were slacking off.

He actually queued for fourteen team battles today!

"system panel, add points!"

【Realm: Fourth Realm Fourth Heaven → Fourth Realm Sixth Heaven】+

【points: 1019 → 19】

Feeling the slight increase of Origin Power in his body, he shook his head.

"This bit of improvement is better than nothing, I suppose!"

"Next time, I should first increase my physique or spirit to the Seventh Realm!"

Because Jiang Hao's basic attributes were too high, the attributes gained from breaking through his current Realm couldn't even increase his Sixth Realm attributes by a single point.

Therefore, the system panel didn't display them.

And blindly breaking through Realms wouldn't work either; after all, Jiang Hao still wasn't clear on what the special status [Overlimiter I] actually did.

But based on years of web novel experience, raising this at a lower Realm was definitely the right move!

In any case, increasing basic attributes would still add to his combat power.

[Two Kings, Six Elites]: 99+

"What are they chatting about? So many messages!?"

【I Dont Eat Beef: Still lurking in the group so late? Can you lurk in peace at your age?】

【Prophet: God Jiang is here, @Alexander come and learn from God Jiang!】

"Huh? What are they up to?"

【Alexander: Brother Jiang, please give me some advice!】

【Alexander: Should I help a female fan buy a Saint-rank Martial Skill or not!】

【Jade Emperor: Buy it! You can't even bear to buy things for a girl?】

【Fish and Bears Paw: Two fans but you only have 700 points. You can have them fight; the winner gets the Saint-rank Martial Skill in three months.】

After scrolling through the chat, Jiang Hao was speechless. Isn't this clearly a female scammer?

Or rather, Xia Pengcheng was being treated as an ATM.

【I Dont Eat Beef: I don't think it's a good idea. Something feels off.】

【Prophet: God Jiang is right. I see a future where you're eating dirt!】

【Alexander: What a joke! No matter how down I am, I wouldn't resort to eating dirt! Grandpa loves me the most. When the time comes, I'll ask Grandpa for an advance on some points to buy the Martial Skill for my little sister!】

【Feng Qiluo (Vice-Captain): He's hopeless, take him away!】

Well, well, well! How long has it been?

He's already calling her 'little sister'?

He recalled those dozen or so freshman 'fans' this morning who seemed like they were completing a master's task.

There's definitely a trap here!

But then again, who told Jiang Hao to be so kind-hearted?

【I Dont Eat Beef: Then buy it! But I suggest asking for an advance of 1300 points and buying for both sisters! You can't favor one over the other.】

【Alexander: I've learned something! Thanks, Brother Jiang!】

Jiang Hao, of course, chose to personally cut off his last path of retreat!

July 2nd, Tuesday.

Jiang Hao arrived at the Weapon Combat Department early and went up to greet Vice Dean Zhou, who was already waiting.

Vice Dean Zhou looked at Jiang Hao's Fourth Realm Sixth Heaven Realm with satisfaction. As expected of... eh?

Fourth Realm Sixth Heaven???

"You broke through again?" Vice Dean Zhou looked at Jiang Hao with a face full of shock.

Hasn't only one day passed? He broke through again just like that!

"After finishing the ranking battle yesterday, I suddenly had an Epiphany and broke through."

Jiang Hao had a face that said 'I believe it, why don't you?'

The Vice Dean turned his head and asked:

"Student Jiang Hao, what type of Martial Skill do you want to exchange for?"

"I want a Saint-rank Martial Skill that can expand perception range and increase perception precision!"

"I see... do you have any candy?"

"Is a lollipop okay?" Jiang Hao pulled out a lollipop and handed it to Vice Dean Zhou.

"Student Jiang Hao probably hasn't chosen a teacher yet, right?"

"No, I feel like I don't really need a teacher," Jiang Hao said tactfully.

"True! With your talent, you already have your own path and don't need anyone's guidance!"

Vice Dean Zhou said with a hint of regret.

"I'm certainly not worthy of teaching you, but the Dean is also a Dual Cultivation Martial Artist; perhaps she could give you some pointers."

"However!!!"

"That crazy woman is holed up somewhere unknown and doesn't reply to messages. This Weapon Combat Department is going to finish sooner or later!"

Vice Dean Zhou's resentment seemed like it was about to break through the sky.

Jiang Hao kindly comforted him:

"It's okay! I heard that Dean Xing of the Sorcery Academy is about to break through to the Saint-rank and return."

"When that time comes, I can just transfer to the Sorcery Academy!"

Vice Dean Zhou's eyes suddenly widened!
