Chapter 804: [615] Greetings from the Old Gods Association Demon King (Requesting Monthly Votes and Subscriptions) Chapter 804: [615] Greetings from the Old Gods Association Demon King (Requesting Monthly Votes and Subscriptions) Meng Jiao watched Pei Jinye and his two companions leave, then turned to the middle-aged man beside her, trying to inquire something.


    However, the middle-aged man shook his head, “What they went through, I do not know either, as we cannot see the content of your examinations. But I noticed you triggered two hidden instances, didn’t you gain anything?”


    Meng Jiao hesitated for a moment, shook her head, somewhat resentfully, “That old man insisted that I was with the Liu family, no matter how I explained, he wouldn’t listen.”


    The middle-aged man opened his mouth in astonishment, “My goodness.”


    He looked over sympathetically.


    Triggered the conditions, but ended up with nothing?


    There was nothing more miserable than that.


    But what exactly did Pei Jinye receive… that guy was cautious and didn’t say, really maddening.


    As more people completed their assessments,


    Xu Wanxiao came out.


    Following her was Situ Liyue, who snorted coldly, as if she saw nothing, looking around, but she did see Luo Yizhou alone.


    She hesitated for a bit and then walked over, “Is it just you? Has Pei Jinye not come out yet?”


    “You don’t know? He finished a while ago,” Luo Yizhou said indifferently.


    “Already finished?” Xu Wanxiao’s heart suddenly tightened, “He didn’t place first again, did he?”


    “No,” Luo Yizhou looked at the progress bar on the virtual screen, “He is second.”


    “Only second?” Xu Wanxiao felt inexplicably complex inside.


    They had come from Central State, and so far, her status was the most distinguished, her background the biggest, yet her own results during two consecutive days of assessments had been the worst.


    She didn’t know why, but hearing that Pei Jinye wasn’t first, she suddenly felt a bit relieved.


    Luo Yizhou noticed her expression, “Did you realize, if in the next round of examination you’re still outside the top hundred, you won’t have a chance to enter the elite class?”


    “What?” Xu Wanxiao was stunned, her face changing drastically.


    …


    Two hours before the predicted end, the middle-aged man’s face grew serious, he looked towards Lin Xiuxian and whispered, “Dean, something isn’t right. Out of the nineteen candidates, only half have made progress.”


    Lin Xiuxian looked down at his watch, “After the time is up, forcefully intervene. Professor Xiao, you might be bothered later.”


    “No problem, I’ll make a move.”


    Countdown to the end of the assessments was in the last two minutes.


    Students gradually woke up from the Illusory Realm.


    When the last second came, three students were still not awake.


    Everyone at the scene turned their eyes to see Professor Xiao acting, and in the sky, it seemed as if snowflakes were falling, each one crystal clear, spinning in mid-air.


    “How beautiful,” Xu Wanxiao raised her head, muttering to herself as she watched the snowflakes.


    Situ Liyue was different.


    She wasn’t a coddled trophy girl.


    For these suddenly appearing snowflakes, there was an almost instinctual terror. She was just about to close her eyes to escape, however, being only third-rank, she couldn’t resist a transcendental ninth-rank spiritual power technique.


    Her gaze was involuntarily drawn to it.


    Beside her, Zhong Taishu had already knelt on the ground, stupidly staring at the snowflakes.


    The three students who hadn’t woken up began to convulse.


    As one violently vomited blood and screamed, the other two also came to.


    The middle-aged man stepped forward and took the three away.


    Skillfully enough to make one think nothing had happened.


    “The one who vomited blood can only regretfully be eliminated,” Lin Xiuxian’s gaze was calm as he looked towards Professor Xiao beside him, “Thank you for your efforts.”


    Professor Xiao withdrew his hand, seemingly indifferent, and mused, “What do you plan to do with these three youngsters?”


    “The one who shuddered has irreversible mental damage; we’ll see in a year or so, as for the other two…” Lin Xiuxian shook his head, “If they can’t even pass such a minor test, honestly, even their third rank is somewhat questionable. I’ll send someone from admissions to advise them. If they can leave, they should. If they can’t, they stay, but if they can’t keep up with the upcoming courses, they’ss drop out on their own.”


    Professor Xiao looked at him, “Dismissing three freshmen in one go, aren’t you afraid of offending people?”


    Lin Xiuxian was nonchalant, “The research institute isn’t a regular school. Those trained here are the future defenders of humanity. Without the necessary qualities, they have no right to occupy resources.”


    “…” Professor Xiao turned away, “You’re not wrong; I won’t argue. What will you test in the third round?”


    “Speed test. I’ll rent a venue from Old Yan tonight; the Federation has updated with new equipment.” Lin Xiuxian seemed somewhat interested.


    Professor Xiao shook his head, “Tomorrow is the last foundational assessment before class division. Have you spotted any potential talents?”


    Lin Xiuxian shook his head, “Everyone this year is quite good; the competition is rather fierce. I’ll go to the academic office this afternoon to pick up the syllabus, and will send it to your email later.”


    As the two were talking,


    at the tea house outside the school,


    Murong Xiyue had already lit a stick of Calming Incense.


    Ji Yuyan and Pei Jinye were sitting opposite her.


    As the scent of the Calming Incense wafted, Pei Jinye could clearly feel his three attribute points constantly increasing.


    Murong Xiyue, sipping her tea, was discussing something with Ji Yuyan.


    Both were daughters from distinguished backgrounds.


    Showing no particular care or appreciation for the Calming Incense,


    Adhering to the idea of friends enjoying good things together…


    Only, when Ji Wutian learned about this, he couldn’t understand,


    “One man and two women… Locked in during broad daylight, anyone would struggle with that.”


    Pei Jinye had nothing to say.


    Ji Yuyan ended up chasing him around to hit him.


    The raucous went on until past eleven when Ji Wutian with his hand raised pleaded, “How about I take everyone out to eat? Let’s go out in Dragon City, your choice, and let’s not just keep it to us few people; call more. From my dorm, your dorm, and Old Pei’s dorm… Wait, where’s Old Pei?”


    “He just went to take a phone call,” Murong Xiyue replied promptly.


    Ji Wutian was stunned.


    He gave Murong Xiyue a weird look.


    It was Ji Yuyan who suddenly nudged him, “Stop talking nonsense, I want to eat at Full Moon Building!”


    “Shh, Ji Yuyan, you’re really ruthless!” Ji Wutian’s attention was diverted, “That place is five thousand per person. I’ve spent quite a lot on meals with Old Pei these past few days and really don’t have any money left. Could you lend me some… In that case, the beasts in my dorm don’t deserve it; just invite those from your dorm.”


    “Get lost, you said it yourself,” Ji Yuyan didn’t fall for his tricks.


    Ji Wutian clenched his teeth in frustration.


    …


    Meanwhile,


    Pei Jinye received a call from Zhou Weiren.


    He was very concerned about Pei Jinye’s cultivation in Dragon City and asked if there was anything he could help with.


    The main purpose of this call was because of the incident that had happened last night in Dragon City.


    “Make sure to stay safe.”


    Zhou Weiren repeatedly warned him.


    With Pei Jinye’s current identity in Da Peng City, he would need Pei Jinye’s help with many things in the future.


    Moreover, at the Dragon City Martial University Research Institute… in this affluent place.


    The more important figures Pei Jinye could befriend, the more Zhou Weiren would be ready to set aside his pride to ask for Pei Jinye’s assistance in the future.


    After hanging up,


    a message from the Old Gods Association came through a secured channel.


    Elder Wuji: [Jin Hu, the person in charge on the Eastern Continent… I’ll introduce you to him, to handle some operational plans for this period.]


    Pei Jinye used brainwave control to reply: [I’ll go if I can. I may not be able to evade the Federation’s tracking here, I just made contact with Star Ring today.]


    Elder Wuji: [No worries, I will take care of the trouble for you. Have you refined the Yuan Shen Mirror yet?]


    Pei Jinye: [It’s already refined.]


    Elder Wuji: [Good. This way, you can act more freely. I’ll have someone act on your behalf in the Western Continent to draw attention. Coordinate well with Jin Hu here, complete the task, and you can take thirty percent. Anything beyond the mission, you deal with as you see fit.]


    Pei Jinye slightly raised his eyebrows but still clearly agreed.


    Contact with Jin Hu was very smooth.


    It seemed that he had already been in touch with Elder Wuji and had been waiting.


    [At ten tonight, there’s a masked ball at the Red Bridge Bar, is it convenient to meet there?]


    [That’s fine. What’s the password?] Pei Jinye asked.


    [Do you have ‘white cut to black’? My answer will be: turn right, the second one.]


    [Okay.]


    Pei Jinye had never had contact with Jin Hu.


    Nor had he experienced what methods Jin Hu used.


    Well, what will be, will be.


    …


    When Pei Jinye reappeared next to Ji Yuyan, Murong Xiyue nodded and smiled at him.


    “Pei Jinye, do you think Ji Wutian did it on purpose?” Ji Yuyan yelled loudly, her fiery manner might make one think she was a crazed girl who had burst in from somewhere else.


    Compared to Murong Xiyue, she indeed seemed so.


    But even so.


    Ji Wutian wouldn’t dare to harbor any improper thoughts towards Murong Xiyue.


    “They were discussing going to Full Moon Building for lunch.”


    As Ji Yuyan and Ji Wutian were bantering, Murong Xiyue, seeing Pei Jinye walking over and sitting down, covered her mouth and laughed.


    This was probably what youth was all about.


    Pei Jinye slightly shook his head and poured himself a cup of Spiritual Tea.


    There was a time when drinking this was a luxury.


    At this moment, Murong Xiyue leaned in and whispered, “I’m curious, how did you get along with Senior Ying Wusheng in the hidden instance?”


    A refreshing fragrance wafted over.


    Pei Jinye looked over without any change in expression.


    He hadn’t noticed before.


    But looking closely now, Murong Xiyue’s skin was very fair. Although she was the Murong family’s pampered young lady, she was only wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and jeans… Leaning on the table, the light blue shirt looked very snug, accentuating her curves.


    However, Pei Jinye just glanced briefly and didn’t keep staring.


    “It was alright. Actually, the senior is quite easy to get along with. Just don’t be too reverent; just treat him with neither servility nor overbearance.”


    Murong Xiyue seemed thoughtful, “No wonder you triggered the hidden instance twice.”


    She smartly didn’t ask what rewards Pei Jinye had received.


    Pei Jinye didn’t act like an inexperienced boy bragging to a girl about his achievements either.


    Some things are best left unsaid.


    When other boys and girls gradually appeared, the social gathering formally came to an end.


    The girls brought a sweet fragrance that filled the private room.

    Some girls were watching Pei Jinye.


    “Pei Jinye, with such good grades, you’re definitely going to the elite class.”


    “You guys are strong too. The elite class surely includes you all.”


    Pei Jinye pushed Ji Wutian’s hand away.


    “Behave yourself, don’t touch me.”
