Xia Xue called Gao Yang over.
Gao Yang's eyes darted around quickly, flashing a mischievous smile full of hidden meaning.
"You two…" he started.
Xia Xue cut him off coldly, "Shut your filthy mouth, or I'll tear you apart myself."
Xia Xue's pride was notorious.
Only when she was with Lin Moyu did she ease up a bit.
After all, Lin Moyu was even colder—if Xia Xue got any more arrogant, the two of them wouldn't even speak.
Right now, facing Gao Yang, her heiress temper was fully on display.
Gao Yang was startled and scratched his head, "Just joking, just joking, don't take it seriously."
Xia Xue said, "Don't bother finding a team. Once our cooldowns end, we'll take you dungeon farming."
"Before the big exam, hitting level 12 won't be a problem."
Gao Yang let out an excited roar, "Really? You two are truly my saviors!"
"You don't know how much I want to get into that academy, but only at level 12 do I have a real shot."
"You're such good people!"
Gao Yang's expression was wildly exaggerated.
Xia Xue frowned, "If you keep this up, I'm not bringing you."
Gao Yang immediately surrendered, instantly serious, "Miss Xia, rest assured, I'll behave perfectly. If you say east, I won't go south; if you say north, I won't go east."
"Stop spouting nonsense. Shut up." Xia Xue snorted, a fireball appearing in the palm of her hand.
If Gao Yang dared to say one more word, she would definitely throw that fireball at his face.
Gao Yang wisely kept quiet. "I obey, just curious how much longer the cooldown is."
Xia Xue calculated, "Another 10 hours."
Ten hours was a bit long, but Gao Yang knew he might not find a team in that time either.
"Alright, you two rest and chat. I'm going to farm some wild monsters."
"Good luck, Moyu! I'm rooting for you! You'll take down Xia Xue sooner or later!"
With that, he ran off.
Xia Xue stomped angrily, throwing a fireball.
Boom! The fireball exploded right behind Gao Yang's butt, sparks scattering on him.
"Ah-oo~~!"
Gao Yang yelped in pain, clutching his rear as he vanished in the blink of an eye.
Xia Xue stomped her foot in frustration, "This guy, his mouth's too loose, totally asking for a beating."
Lin Moyu felt the same but couldn't deny Gao Yang was a good person.
When everyone else distanced themselves, Gao Yang was the only one who took the initiative to talk to her.
Even when her responses were few, Gao Yang never showed disgust.
Lin Moyu trusted her instincts.
Gao Yang was a sincere goofball.
Ten hours later, Gao Yang joined the team.
Lin Moyu was the captain as they entered the nightmare-level dungeon.
As soon as they entered, Gao Yang was the first to freeze in terror.
"Hey hey hey... Miss Xia, Boss Lin, why did you pick nightmare difficulty?"
Xia Xue snorted, "Cut the crap. Just follow behind. You're not the one fighting."
"Huh?"
Gao Yang showed a mixture of confusion, panic, and fear.
Xia Xue wondered if she had been like this the first time she entered.
She seemed just as terrified back then.
For the sake of his life, Gao Yang stuck closely behind Xia Xue, not daring to step away.
This was nightmare difficulty—one hit from a monster would kill him instantly.
Ten minutes later, Gao Yang stared at the dead Boss, still unable to close his mouth.
"Th-this…"
"Just... dead?"
Xia Xue looked at him, "Can you shut your mouth? You're drooling all over the place."
Gao Yang wiped the corner of his mouth and suddenly grabbed Lin Moyu's leg, "Boss, Lin Boss, can you take me on your dungeon runs from now on? I'll be your little pet."
Xia Xue was helpless. "How can you be such a spineless guy? You're a knight—can't you show some knight spirit?"
Gao Yang shouted, "What's the use of knight spirit? With you as Boss, who needs a knight?"
Xia Xue gave up and decided to just ignore him.
Lin Moyu's body flickered with a faint white glow.
He had just leveled up.
At level 16, he was confident about getting into Xiajing Academy.
After one more dungeon run, Xia Xue would reach level 15 and also stand a good chance of entering Xiajing Academy.
As for Gao Yang, his goal was Jiangning Academy in his home province.
It was also a good higher education institution, with lower requirements than Xiajing Academy.
A level 12 knight was already qualified.
The setting sun cast long shadows over everything.
On the city wall of South City, Xihai City.
Several principals stood together, watching the wild zone beyond the walls.
"The kids should be back soon."
"Tomorrow is the big exam. We told them all—they must return today."
"I wonder how the results will be."
"Most should be fine; it's just the difference between academies."
"Old Lu, I heard your school's two geniuses both aim for Xiajing Academy?"
Lu Yun's gaze didn't waver from the distance, "Yes, Moyu and Xia Xue both want Xiajing Academy."
"Competition is fiercest there. According to past standards, level 15 is hopeful; level 16 guarantees success."
"Tough."
"Level 15 is still possible, but level 16 is extremely rare. Apart from Su Qianxing, last year only Lin Mohan reached 16 here in Xihai City."
"Wonder if these two kids have a chance."
Lu Yun nodded, "I believe they do."
Lin Moyu and Xia Xue—one was Lin Mohan's younger brother, the other the Xia family's heiress.
Lu Yun thought these two might just make a miracle.
Finally, someone appeared in sight.
One principal said, "That's from our No.3 High School."
Using detection spells, the newcomer's level was obvious.
[Xu Zhen, Level 12, Sword Fighter.]
The principal was pleased—level 12 was enough for a good academy.
Xu Zhen was somewhat famous in Third High, known as one of the geniuses.
"My school's Wan Ming is back too."
[Wan Ming, Level 13, Eagle Eye Archer.]
Students returned one by one as the principals kept using detection spells on the city walls.
Every year at this time, it was also a kind of pre-exam contest among the principals.
A battle for face.
