Chapter 39: Gao Yang, a Shameless and Mouthy Jerk

Xia Xue called Gao Yang over.

Gao Yang's eyes darted around rapidly, showing a meaningful smile.

"You two," Xia Xue said coldly, "shut your stinky mouths, or I'll rip you apart."

Xia Xue's arrogance was well-known. She only toned it down a little when she was with Lin Mo Yu, after all, Lin Mo Yu was even colder. If she were arrogant too, there would be no conversation between the two. Now facing Gao Yang, her spoiled temper was on full display.

Gao Yang was startled and touched his head, "Just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Xia Xue said, "Don't look for a team anymore. After our cooldowns are over, we'll take you to farm dungeons. You'll reach level 12 before the big exam without a problem."

Gao Yang let out an excited roar: "Really? You two are my saviors. You don't know, the academy I want to go to, I'm only confident I can get in at level 12. You're really good people."

Gao Yang's expression was extremely exaggerated.

Xia Xue frowned: "If you keep this up, I won't bring you."

Gao Yang immediately surrendered and instantly became serious: "Miss Xia, rest assured, I'll be honest. If you point east, I won't go west; if you point north, I won't go south." (The original text "If you point east, I won't go south; if you point north, I won't go east" is illogical, so it has been modified here.)

"What nonsense, shut up," Xia Xue snorted, and a fireball appeared in her palm. If Gao Yang dared to say another word, she would definitely smash the fireball on his face.

Gao Yang quickly and tactfully shut his mouth: "As you command, but I wonder how long your cooldowns will be."

Xia Xue calculated the time: "Another 10 hours."

10 hours was a bit long, but Gao Yang knew that he might not find a team in 10 hours either.

"Alright, you two rest and chat well, I'll go farm some mobs."

"Mo Yu, fight hard, I have faith in you! Sooner or later, you'll take Xia Xue down."

After saying that, he ran off.

Xia Xue stomped her foot in anger and threw a fireball directly.

With a boom, the fireball exploded behind Gao Yang, splashing a few sparks on him.

Ah—Gao Yang was scalded and screamed loudly, clutching his butt and disappearing in an instant.

Xia Xue stomped her foot angrily: "This guy, his mouth is too foul, he deserves a beating."

Lin Mo Yu could relate deeply, but she also had to admit that Gao Yang was a good person. When everyone else distanced themselves from her, only Gao Yang took the initiative to talk to her. Even though her responses were few, Gao Yang never showed disgust. Lin Mo Yu believed her instincts were not wrong. Gao Yang was a sincere goofball.

10 Hours Later

Gao Yang joined the team. Lin Mo Yu became the leader and entered the Nightmare-level dungeon.

As soon as they entered the dungeon, Gao Yang was the first to collapse on the ground in fright.

"Hey hey hey. Miss Xia, Boss Lin, why did you enter Nightmare difficulty?"

Xia Xue snorted: "Stop talking nonsense, just follow behind, you don't have to fight monsters."

Huh? Gao Yang showed various expressions of confusion, panic, and fear. Xia Xue felt like she might have been the same when she first came here. She seemed to have been scared enough back then too.

For the sake of his life, Gao Yang stayed close to Xia Xue, not daring to stray an inch. This was Nightmare difficulty; his little life could be wiped out with a swing from a monster.

Ten minutes later, Gao Yang still couldn't close his mouth as he watched the dead BOSS.

"This. This." "It's already dead?"

Xia Xue looked at him: "Can you shut your mouth? Your drool is dripping down."

Gao Yang wiped the corner of his mouth and suddenly hugged Lin Mo Yu's leg: "Boss, Boss Lin, can you take me with you when you farm dungeons in the future? I'll be your little pet."

Xia Xue helplessly said: "Why are you so spineless, you're a knight, can't you show some knightly spirit?"

Gao Yang shouted: "What's the use of knightly spirit? With Boss here, what do I need a knight for?"

Xia Xue really had no way with him, so she decided to ignore him.

A faint white light flickered on Lin Mo Yu's body. He had completed his upgrade. At level 16, he was confident he could enter Xia Jing Academy. After another dungeon run, Xia Xue could also reach level 15, giving her a good chance of being admitted to Xia Jing Academy.

As for Gao Yang, his goal was Jiang Ning Academy in the province. It was also a good higher education institution, with much lower requirements than Xia Jing Academy. A level 12 knight was already qualified enough.

Sunset

The sun set in the west, casting long shadows over everything.

On the city wall of South City, West Sea City. Several principals stood together, looking at the wilderness outside the city wall.

"The kids should be back by now."

"Tomorrow is the day of the big exam, I've told them all to return today."

"I wonder what the results of tomorrow's big exam will be."

"Most of them should be fine, it's just a matter of which academy is better."

"Old Lu, those two geniuses from your school, I heard their target is Xia Jing Academy."

Lu Yun's gaze was fixed on the distance: "Yes, Mo Yu and Xia Xue both want to take the Xia Jing Academy exam."

"Xia Jing Academy has the fiercest competition. By past standards, level 15 gives a good chance, level 16 ensures success."

"It's tough." "Level 15 still has hope, level 16 is one in a hundred thousand. In our West Sea City, besides Su Qianxing, last year's Lin Mo Han reached level 16, right?"

"I wonder if these two kids this year have any hope."

Lu Yun nodded: "Believe in them." Lin Mo Yu and Xia Xue, one is Lin Mo Han's brother, the other is the Xia family's precious daughter. Lu Yun felt that these two might both create miracles.

Finally, someone appeared in sight.

One principal said: "It's from our Third Middle School."

Under the detection spell, the level of the newcomer was clear at a glance. Xu Zhen, level 12, Swordsman.

The principal was very satisfied; level 12 was enough to get into a good higher education institution. Xu Zhen was also somewhat famous in Third Middle School, known as one of the geniuses.

"My Second Middle School classmate Wan Ming has also returned."

Wan Ming, level 13, Hawk-Eye Archer.

The students returned one by one, while the principals kept using detection spells on the city wall.

Every year at this time, it was actually also a pre-exam big comparison among the principals—a face contest.
