Chapter 105 - Air Cars, Three Lists
"Isn"t this young guy too decisive?"
From afar, the teacher with the surname Gu still in hiding was speechless after witnessing the scene unfold before him.
Before he could do anything, Ye Xuan had already defeated the person.
After that, with just a few sentences, he was able to uncover the person"s background. Then, he directly killed the man on the spot.
Such decisiveness and willingness to kill... Just seeing it sent chills down his spine.
It was hard to imagine that the current Ye Xuan had not yet joined a university.
He was still a high school student.
The teacher could not understand how Ye Xuan trained to be so powerful despite his young age.
Did he not feel uncomfortable at all?
Simultaneously, in the hotel restaurant far away, the students from Yunzhong City who had just witnessed everything on the video were completely silent. One could even hear a needle dropping on the ground.
After some time, Gu Luo, who regarded himself as a ruthless person, finally spoke.
"Isn"t this guy too ruthless?"
He lamented how not fighting Ye Xuan that day was good luck for him.
...
"What"s going on here?"
At that moment, a few guards quickly entered the alley.
Who knew how many people heard the Tyrannosaurus" roar just now?
And the patrolling guards of Yunhai city had clearly responded very quickly.
"Captain Guo."
Ye Xuan was a little surprised after seeing one of them.
"Ye Xuan?"
"This is?"
He looked at Ye Xuan. Then, he scanned the area. His brows raised slightly.
"It"s like this..."
Ye Xuan did not hide anything.
He directly explained to Captain Guo the situation, from how he noticed that he was being followed, and then later on how he defeated and killed the person.
After hearing Ye Xuan"s description of the incident, Captain Guo frowned. "Fu Xingfa has a relative?"
Then, he quickly apologized to Ye Xuan, "Terribly sorry, it looks like we were careless on this."
"This is not Captain Guo"s fault, but I did kill another person and caused you guys trouble again."
"Haha, this is not causing us trouble but rather helping us get rid of a hidden and potential problem."
Ye Xuan did not have to lie to him concerning this.
Moreover, for such incidents, things would become clear once they went back to check surveillance recordings.
In this day and age, every city would have surveillance cameras everywhere.
After that, Captain Guo asked Ye Xuan some other simple questions. After recording the details thoroughly, he let Ye Xuan leave.
He did not even ask him to return to the station.
"Captain Guo, sorry for troubling you again."
Ye Xuan bid his farewell to Captain Guo and left.
He let Lil Wan bring him directly back home.
At that time, Ye Guotao and Su Yunmeng had probably already finished preparing their meals and were waiting for him.
"I did not think that the headteacher from Yunzhong City would also come."
On his way home, Ye Xuan remembered the Tidal Treasure Snail reminded him that apart from the unknown young man he killed, another person followed him. As he thought of that, he could not help but shake his head.
He knew that the teacher called Mr. Gu had no ill intentions and only followed him to help.
Normally, he should thank the guy.
However, in the end, he did not call out to him.
So, he would treat it as though he had not met the teacher.
His supernatural perception ability could not yet be exposed. As such, it was better that he kept it hidden.
...
At that time, the teacher, Mr. Gu, had just returned to the hotel. As he looked at his silent students, he asked, "Did you guys see it?"
Gu Luo raised his head and said, "Yes, we saw it! Ye Xuan is indeed powerful! I"m not his opponent!"
"That"s not the point. The most important thing is Ye Xuan"s cautiousness and decisiveness."
"My time left to teach you a lot is limited, and we only have a few days left."
"And my last lesson to you guys is, in the future, when you encounter an enemy, you need to be as cautious and decisive as Ye Xuan!"
He used Ye Xuan as a positive textbook material to lecture the group of students.
...
At dinner, Ye Xuan lamented, "Tsk, tsk. Dad, mom, your culinary skills have improved quite significantly, huh?"
Over the past few days, while he was gone, Ye Guotao and Su Yunmeng"s culinary abilities had indeed improved by leaps and bounds.
"Ye Xuan, you"re really outstanding this time."
This time at dinner, it was not only Ye Xuan and his family.
At the same time, Ye Xuan"s uncle"s family was also present.
Ye Xuan"s uncle was called Ye Guobin. He was a few years older than Ye Guotao.
However, ever since Ye Han awakened his beast-taming apt.i.tude, he had been energetic and lively.
"Uncle."
Ye Xuan looked at Ye Guobin and said, "Last time I went to Jiangzhou university and met older cousin Ye Han, it looked like he was doing quite well at Jumu University."
"I presume he will settle down permanently in Jiangzhou City in the future? By then, you and auntie can go over there."
"Why would we go there?"
Ye Guobin shook his head and said, "We"ve settled our roots here in Yunhai City. We will not go there to increase his burden. Jiangzhou City is not a place that"s easy to live in."
"You..."
Beside him, Ye Guoatao shook his head but did not say anything else.
If Ye Xuan were not a special enrollment to Jiangzhou University, where their accommodation and even their jobs were pre-arranged, he and Su Yunmeng would not follow Ye Xuan to Jiangzhou City and increase his burden.
Jiangzhou City"s living expense was not comparable to Yunhai City, after all.
...
"So, we"ll be leaving tomorrow, huh?"
At night, Su Yunmeng looked at the house that they"d stayed in for many years. Her face was filled with melancholy.
She had never thought that she would leave this place one day.
A mother"s honour increases as her son"s position rise.
This was particularly true for her.
Beside her, in an attempt to console her wife, Ye Guotao said, "We"re just temporarily moving. Didn"t Ye Xuan say? We can still come back in the future if we want to."
"Come back?" Su Yunmeng glanced at Ye Guotao. "Do you really think that we"ll be able to come back?"
"By the time we move to the new place, where the environment is better, and after we"ve made new friends, even if we do come back in the future, it will probably be only for a few days."
"However, Yunhai City is indeed quite small. It is a good thing we can move away."
Su Yunmeng shook her head.
...
Time flew by, and before long, it was the next day.
Ye Xuan, Ye Guotao, and everyone else woke up very early.
With their belongings packed the night before, they took one final look at their house before getting a taxi to head straight toward the Air Car station.
The Air Car was a new type of transportation in this generation.
In terms of their shape, they were the same as old traditional trains.
However, they were powered by multiple flying-type beasts.
If it were Ye Xuan"s old world, it was probably difficult for anyone to imagine what it was like for a train to be carried by over a dozen giant flying-type beasts and flying in the sky.
However, the country of Xia was just too big.
Monsters were entrenched everywhere, between prefectures and cities.
If they did not use these Air Cars, large-scale migration would have been impossible.
And it was thus that this miraculous by-product was born into this world.
...
Before long, Ye Xuan and the others reached the Air Car station.
They did not need to buy tickets.
He was a special enrollment student at Jiangzhou University.
All his expenses on the way to Jiangzhou University were free.
Even if he brought along his family, it was still the case.
As for getting on the Air Car, he only needed to use his combat watch to scan his personal information.
"Roar!"
After a short while, accompanied by giant beasts" roars, a long Air Car that looked like a black dragon arrived.
Hundreds of meters from the station"s entrance, Ye Xuan"s group stopped breathing as they looked at the gigantic transport from afar.
In particular, the scene above the vehicle where dozens of giant Sky Dragon Beasts flapped their wings in unison was particularly captivating.
In an instant, the giant Air Car had arrived in front of them.
Gradually and slowly descending from the sky.
"Three minutes to get on the car. Everyone, hurry up!"
Seeing the Air Cars stop, the guard standing at the Yunhai City station entrance immediately started to organize the people around him to get them on the Air Car.
"This is the first time I"ve been on this thing in my life."
After getting on the Air Car, Su Yunmeng looked out the window, her face filled with melancholy.
At the same time, she was feeling very nervous as well.
After all, the Air Car was going to rise into the sky later.
"Don"t worry. Many people have used these things before. It"s not like they encountered any issues. Moreover, the Air Car has many powerful people in it. Even if we encounter a powerful monster, we"ll be fine."
Ye Guotao tried to console and rea.s.sure her on the side.
Boom!
Then, the Air Car rumbled and, with the Sky Dragon Beast lifting it, rose into the air before heading towards its destination.
Inside the large Air Car, even though everyone had fastened their seatbelts, they could still feel a powerful vibration.
Air Cars moved very fast; however, compared to traditional trains, there was a huge disadvantage.
And it was the vibration during take-off, and landing was just too strong.
...
The Air Car stopped a few times on the way.
Apart from Yunhai City, it also went past several other cities and made stops in these cities, respectively, bringing on pa.s.sengers heading toward Jiangzhou City from these respective cities.
As they were moving toward the last city, Lil Wan checked the map and, while on Ye Xuan"s shoulder, said, "This is Yanchuan City. We"ll be arriving in Jiangzhou City after Yanchuan City."
"Yanchuan City, huh?" Ye Xuan"s heart jumped.
Yanchuan City was a megacity.
While it was not comparable to Jiangzhou City, it was by no means weak.
And this time, as the Air Car stopped...
It did not take long for three youngsters about the same age as Ye Xuan to appear.
Each of them looked very excited.
They walked toward seats not far away from Ye Xuan and sat down.
A thin youngster whose face was slightly long and facial features were very hardened began to speak excitedly immediately after taking a seat. "Did you guys hear? The students from year six have just graduated, and Wanshan University"s Yue Qingyang has already become the first to get into the Jiangzhou Fengyun List."
"No, wait. Qi Liangcai, I really don"t understand you."
After hearing his words, the only girl among the three could not help but say, "We"re going to enter Jiangzhou University soon, and here you are talking about Yue Qingyang of Wanshan University. Look at your excited face. Is this really good?"
The girl who spoke had a pretty face. She sat there and gave off a very peaceful feeling.
"Tsk! What do you know?" Qi Liangcai shook his head and said, "It is because we are enrolling in Jiangzhou University that I am excited. I am destined to be the one to lead Jiangzhou University back to its glory."
"The worse Jiangzhou University"s decline is, the better the glory is when I lead Jiangzhou University back to its glory days!"
"That"s enough out of you!"
Another one from the group, a tall young man, rubbed his forehead after hearing Qi Liangcai"s declarations.
He could see the people around them had started looking towards them. He was starting to feel that his decision to head to Jiangzhou University with Qi Liangcai was a big mistake.
He leaned into his chair, glanced at Qi Liangcai, and said, "The first ones we have to face after getting to Jiangzhou University are the students on the Rising Star List."
"If you"re something, start talking after you get on the Rising Star List."
Rising Star List?
From nearby, Ye Xuan"s heart beat faster after he heard their conversation.
In university, every prefecture in the Country of Xia had three major lists.
The three major lists were the Rising Star List, the Longhu List, and the Fengyun List.
The Rising Star List had s.p.a.ce for 100 people.
Only first-year and second-year students could get on the list.
The Longhu List also only had 100 s.p.a.ces.
However, only students with a combat strength of Silver level and above could get on the list. Besides, only students in their fourth year or below were allowed to compete to get on the list.
For the last one, the Fengyun List, only Platinum level students or students with combat abilities equivalent to a Platinum level could get on the list.
Ye Xuan thought, "I wonder if I can get on the Rising Star List with my current level of strength after entering Jiangzhou University."
