As soon as the words fell, a faint golden light quickly covered Ye Xiang's body.
His pupils also turned golden at this moment. Facing the bloodthirsty Rat King that rushed towards him, he sank his feet.
Boom!
When the two collided, dust flew all over the ground.
Shen Youwei couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but she couldn't see clearly what was happening inside the dust.
She could only hear the sound of fists hitting the flesh and the roar of the bloodthirsty Rat King.
Soon, after the smoke and dust dissipated, the two girls could see the situation of the battle clearly, and shock immediately appeared in their eyes.
They saw that Ye Xiang was pressing the bloodthirsty Rat King with one hand, and his fist emitting golden light was constantly falling with the other hand.
The 16th - level Rat King had no ability to resist at all. It was beaten so miserably that one of its sharp fangs broke off and fell, and it spat out a pool of blood.
At this moment, the bloodthirsty Rat King suddenly burst out and began to struggle violently. All the blood - red hairs on its body stood up and hardened.
Seeing this, Shen Youwei's face changed, and she quickly shouted, "Brother Ye, be careful! It's going to shoot out its barbs!"
The golden light in Ye Xiang's eyes flashed violently. He had no intention of retreating at all. He gathered all the golden light on his right fist.
With lightning speed, he smashed down hard on the head of the bloodthirsty Rat King!
Boom!
"Puff!"
Its head was directly pierced by Ye Xiang's punch, and the golden light bloomed.
The next moment, the huge body of the bloodthirsty Rat King slowly fell to the ground and completely lost its life.
Ye Xiang instinctively glanced at the scoreboard. 216 points, not bad. That is to say, the 16th - level Rat King is worth 48 points, which is three times that of an ordinary strange beast.
He shook his hand. Thanks to the golden light on his body, after the battle with the Rat King, there was not a bit of dust or blood stain on his body.
He turned around indifferently and walked back, looking at Shen Youwei with a smile and saying, "Well, are you relieved now?"
Shen Youwei looked at Ye Xiang in front of her, who was as lazy and casual as ever. It seemed that the confident Brother Ye had finally come back.
She nodded repeatedly, "Mmm! Brother Ye is so amazing!"
Song Xinrui glanced at the corpse of the 16th - level Rat King and felt a little regretful. If only she were at the 16th level. By using this corpse to summon a 16th - level Rat King, her combat power could be greatly enhanced.
Ye Xiang glanced at the time and said, "Let's take a rest first. We'll set off again in two hours. We each earned 216 points in this round. There's definitely no problem getting 600 points in three days."
"Okay, thank you. I haven't really helped much yet." Song Xinrui said with a bit of embarrassment.
These two hundred points came too easily.
Ye Xiang looked at the wild boar beside her that was still shivering and couldn't help but smile, "How can you say you haven't helped? You've helped a great deal. This wild boar was the main force this time. We won't eat it tonight."
The intelligence of pigs is not low in the first place, and the intelligence of a 4th - level wild boar is equivalent to that of a ten - year - old child.
When it heard that it had worked so hard but was almost eaten, it felt like crying but had no tears, and felt that its future pig life would be dark.
"Pfft..."
Song Xinrui couldn't help laughing when she saw the look of the wild boar.
"All right, go and eat. He was just scaring you."
Upon hearing this, the wild boar didn't say a word and ran towards the corpse of the Rat King, and began to gnaw on it with loud grunts.
After a while, its level actually directly upgraded from level 4 to level 7 continuously, and its body also became several times larger.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiang was not surprised. Strange beasts could devour each other to improve their levels. The wild boar's level was too low, and the corpse of the 16th - level Rat King was of great use to it.
The scores of the three of them finally stopped at 216 points. They directly left everyone else far behind, doubling the scores of others. Even Gao Yang only had 150 points at the moment.
Instructor Xu Lu analyzed the data calmly and said, "It seems that they should have cleared out the Bloodthirsty Rat Cave. The last 16 points soared up simultaneously. Most likely, the Rat King has been killed."
Qing Yulu stared blankly at Ye Xiang's name. In just half a day, he had accumulated over 200 points. There was no doubt that at this rate, the three of them would definitely be able to pass with high scores, and they might even be admitted to those three top universities at the same time.
Just then, the old principal's phone rang. He picked it up and took a look, then frowned slightly.
After that, he raised his head and looked at the people in front of him, saying, "The admission score line has been issued. The admission score for those three top universities this year is 750 points. The mandatory requirement of being at the 15th level in a profession has been raised to the 16th level. The requirement of assisting and killing strange beasts above level 20 remains unchanged, but it needs to be divided equally according to the number of people in the team. That is to say, for a team with a certain number of people, they need to kill that many strange beasts above level 20."
Several instructors couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"What's going on, Principal? Last year, the admission score line for those three universities was only 640 points. This year, it has been directly raised by more than 100 points, and the requirements are much stricter." The female instructor of Class 2 asked in confusion.
The old principal had deep eyes, as if he had guessed something, and his gaze was fixed on the outer city.
"Behind the three top universities is the support of the entire China. Making such a decision suddenly, most likely they have detected some movement from the alien races."
The three top universities, which already had strict admission requirements, had suddenly raised the threshold so much. There was no doubt that they were completely following the path of an elite force.
Upon hearing this, several instructors immediately understood. This was the only possible explanation.
"What about Ye Xiang and Youwei?" Qing Yulu couldn't help frowning.
The old principal smiled slowly at the corners of his mouth, "They cleared out the Bloodthirsty Rat Cave in half an hour. Are you still worried that they won't be admitted to those three universities? You should secretly rejoice this time. Two students from your class are going to enter top universities. You're sure to get the title of Honorary Instructor in Ningchuan this year."
The female teacher of Class 2 beside her looked at Qing Yulu with envy all over her face. With this title and position, there would be a chance to be employed by a university above the first - tier admission line in the future.
However, Qing Yulu's face became complicated, and she let out a slight sigh, "I don't deserve it. In fact, I haven't paid much attention to Ye Xiang in the past two years."
The old principal shook his head, "It's not your fault. I didn't expect this kid to hide his abilities so deeply either."
He turned to look at Xu Lu, "Analyze where they will choose to go next. Most likely, they will still target groups of strange beasts."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu opened the map and quickly said, "Fourteen kilometers away from the Bloodthirsty Rat Cave is the Weedy Grass Ridge. There lives a group of Wind Wolf packs with an average level of about 15. There are quite a lot of them. Twenty-two kilometers away is the Swamp Forest, where the Two-Headed Rotting Snakes have been entrenched all year round. These two locations are completely in opposite directions."
"The Swamp Forest is one of the most dangerous places in the outer city. Ye Xiang and the others probably won't choose to go there, right?" The female instructor of Class 2 frowned slightly and said.
According to the speed at which the three of them were gaining points, even if the target was 750 points, three days would be enough.
However, the old principal and Qing Yulu exchanged a glance. This kid might not be satisfied with the few points that the Wind Wolves could offer.
At this moment, Ye Xiang opened the map to check where to go next. His gaze shifted back and forth between the Weedy Grass Ridge and the Swamp Forest, and he quickly had an answer in his mind.
"Next, we're going to the Swamp Forest," Ye Xiang said.
"Okay, sure." Shen Youwei smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, Song Xinrui leaned over to take a look at the map. When she saw the warning about the dangerous miasma marked on the Swamp Forest, she quickly took out two sachets from her backpack and handed them to Ye Xiang and Shen Youwei, saying, "Miasma appears from time to time in the swamp, and you can get affected without realizing it. These sachets contain traditional Chinese medicine, which can detoxify the miasma."
Shen Youwei took the sachet curiously, gave it a sniff, and her eyes lit up. "It smells like violet. Is your family a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Xinrui?"
Song Xinrui nodded. "Yeah, both my father and my grandfather are traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. I'm the only one in the whole family whose awakening went wrong..."
Shen Youwei comforted her, "It's okay. The healer profession has always been a supporting profession, while the summoner is a combat profession. It's quite good too."
Ye Xiang took the sachet, sniffed it out of curiosity, and then casually put it in his pocket.
"Student Song is well-prepared. Even if she hadn't teamed up with us and just joined a decent team, she could easily be admitted to a university above the first-tier admission line."
Song Xinrui pursed her lips and clenched her fists tightly. "But my goal is to enter a top university."
Shen Youwei smiled faintly. "Okay, let's work hard together!"
