The strength is the sum of the whole class, and he is promoted to the Grandmaster level at the beginning.

27: Jiangtan students beg on their kneesThree days passed in a flash.

During this period, Yu Xiu enjoyed life in the villa; he even hired a chef to prepare nutritious meals for him daily.

However, on the second day, Yang Duling came over, told Yu Xiu she was going to take on a mission, and then had a meal at the villa.

This meal made Yang Duling completely lose her lady-like image; she devoured her food, making Yu Xiu click his tongue in surprise.

Actually, it wasn’t Yang Duling’s fault; the main reason was that during her days in the wooden cabin, to save points for resources, she ate dried meat for every meal, and it was the kind with only salt and no other seasonings.

”I must work hard on missions to earn points, buy a villa, eat big meals, and live a life like yours as soon as possible.”

After leaving this statement, Yang Duling got up and left.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

After breakfast today, Yu Xiu was bathing in various precious Spiritual Materials when his watch suddenly rang.

”Martial Skill Ranking and Hunting List?”

Yu Xiu looked and found that these two lists had officially opened.

”Let’s go see the challenge situation of the Martial Skill Ranking first!”

The Hunting List required leaving the Genius Training Camp to hunt Vicious Beasts in the forest, so Yu Xiu decided to challenge the Martial Skill Ranking first.

...

A moment later, Yu Xiu was fully dressed.

His clothes were special Martial Arts uniforms, made from top-grade Materials, which not only possessed powerful defensive capabilities but were also fire-resistant, waterproof, and, most importantly, dust-proof.

This black Martial Arts uniform made Yu Xiu, who was already handsome, appear even more elegant, slender, and capable.

He walked out of the villa.

Along the way, Yu Xiu presented a stark contrast to the students he encountered.

These students were either covered in dirt, or their clothes were tattered; occasionally, a few were decently dressed, but their skin was dark.

In contrast, Yu Xiu had no comparison to them, like the difference between a beggar and an emperor.

”Who is he? He’s wearing a special Martial Arts uniform, and his skin is so fair. He clearly hasn’t been out on missions.”

”He’s probably a Young Master with a powerful background; his family arranged for someone to take care of his food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so he doesn’t need to go out for missions at all.”

”Sigh, I’m so envious. Why don’t I have a good dad like him?”

”Look, those girls’ eyes are practically melting. Isn’t he just handsome? Here, without strength, everything is just empty talk.”

These people walked with Yu Xiu towards the Martial Arts Arena, discussing him behind his back.

They were clearly very jealous and envious.

”Greetings, Lord Yu Xiu!”

Just as Yu Xiu entered the Martial Arts Arena, those Outer City people who had previously escorted the Jiangtan City students immediately stepped forward and greeted Yu Xiu respectfully.

However, Yu Xiu didn’t even acknowledge them.

Instead, he walked towards the other side of the Martial Arts Arena because he saw an acquaintance there.

”Lord Yu Xiu?”

”Could it be that Great Grandmaster boss who ranked first in strength?”

”No wonder he can wear expensive Martial Arts uniforms, and his skin is still so clean.”

”I knew it; Lord Yu Xiu looks like a powerful person.”

”Didn’t you just say that Lord Yu Xiu was born well and you were very disdainful?”

”I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.”

When these people learned Yu Xiu’s identity, their tone immediately changed, while the girls’ already melting gazes became even more intense.

”You’ve all gotten darker; it seems you’ve been working very hard these past few days!”

At this moment, Yu Xiu was standing in front of the students from Jiangtan No. 1 High School.

”Cultivation God, these are minor matters, as long as we can improve our strength.”

”However, we are still very grateful to Cultivation God. While doing missions these past few days, we also saw many gruesome things.”

”What kind of Genius Training Camp is this? It’s clearly a living hell.”

”These Outer City people act without any bottom line; they’re simply deranged.”

”We also met many people from the Pre-selection class in the forest; they are suffering too much.”

Listening to everyone’s recounting, Yu Xiu merely nodded indifferently and said, ”The Dao of Martial Arts is inherently fraught with danger. Just do your own thing and don’t bother with anything else.”

”Cultivation God, we understand. We won’t meddle in other people’s business here.”

”That’s right, besides our own people, we won’t trust anyone else.”

”In this environment, human nature is simply too terrifying; you can’t trust it at all.”

Yu Xiu was surprised and asked, ”What, did something else happen these past few days?”

”It was Little Wu; he encountered a student from his own class in the forest, from the Pre-selection class, and saved him. As a result, that person nearly got Little Wu killed; he was truly ungrateful.”

Yu Xiu didn’t know who Little Wu was, but he wasn’t surprised by these matters at all.

”A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit!”

As Yu Xiu’s words fell, he looked at Yang Duling in the crowd, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, ”Why did you cut your hair short?”

At this moment, Yang Duling no longer had her flowing long hair; it had been cut into shoulder-length short hair.

She no longer had her previous Immortal Qi; instead, she exuded a capable aura.

And her skin had also darkened a lot.

”No choice, there are too many bugs in the forest. If you’re not careful, they’ll crawl into your hair.”

”And washing hair is also troublesome, so I just cut it short.”

Yu Xiu nodded and said no more.

He just didn’t notice that at this moment, the crowd gathered in the Martial Arts Arena all had their eyes on him.

Through the recent spread, Yu Xiu’s identity was already known to everyone.

Previously, the Genius Training Camp only circulated rumors of Yu Xiu, the Great Grandmaster level expert.

But now these people finally saw Yu Xiu himself.

To be precise, Yu Xiu stood out like a crane among chickens among the people in the Martial Arts Arena.

His attire and fair skin formed a stark contrast with everyone else present.

With just one glance, one could find Yu Xiu’s figure in the vast crowd.

”Remember Lord Yu Xiu’s appearance, and the appearance of those around him, especially that short-haired girl, her name is Yang Duling, and she is suspected to be Lord Yu Xiu’s girlfriend.”

At this moment, inside the Martial Arts Arena, leaders were instructing their subordinates.

It could only be said that the gap between Lord Yu Xiu’s Great Grandmaster strength and these people was too vast.

It made them unable to even harbor thoughts of catching up or challenging him, only deep apprehension and reverence.

”Yu Xiu, please save us. We really can’t take it anymore.”

Just then, a group of students, like beggars, suddenly rushed forward, knelt before Yu Xiu, and began to wail.

What was originally one person quickly turned into dozens, then hundreds.

”Cultivation God, it’s them?”

The students from Jiangtan No. 1 High School also recognized the identity of these people. While surprised, they were also incredibly grateful in their hearts.

If it weren’t for Yu Xiu’s protection, their fate would probably be similar to that of the people before them.

Precisely because they bore the name of Jiangtan No. 1 High School, whether in the forest or during missions, no one dared to actively cause them trouble.

They only needed to quietly do their missions, acquire points, and improve their strength.

”Yu Xiu, we don’t want to be slaves anymore. These past few days, we’ve been living like neither humans nor ghosts. We really can’t take it anymore.”

”Yu Xiu, we beg you, please help us! We’ll do anything, we just don’t want to be slaves anymore.”

”We’re really about to die, Yu Xiu, please!”

These students spoke while kowtowing, and the scene looked incredibly tragic.

However, everyone looked at Yu Xiu and found that he remained expressionless from beginning to end.
