“thank you, principal.”

bai wushang was the first to express his gratitude. he then turned to zhu qin and handed her a crimson scroll.

” that’s right. the red dragon emperor saved me. ”

“it’s only because of the evil spirit essence that my appearance and soul power have changed greatly, i’m like a completely different person from before …”

bai wushang pointed out the main points and gave a concise description.

at the same time, he was clear that he had an intermediate bloodline and that the dragonblood treant came from the palace. both were obtained through the most reasonable means.

zhang qingwu was a calm person, but he was shocked. ”

“what? you actually have a bloodline? why aren’t you using it?”

” it doesn’t directly increase combat power. it’s more like a support. ”

bai wushang explained briefly.

there was no need to hide this. it would do him more good than harm to announce it while the top ten were present.

the same was true for the dragon-blood tree monster. it had received a favor from the red dragon emperor. if this news spread, who would dare to have any evil thoughts?

” i’ve gained a lot. there are infinite possibilities in the future. ”

yu liang smiled, not stingy with his praise.

bai wushang cupped his fists at the elegant man and said solemnly, ”

” speaking of which, i should thank you, senior, for choosing to speak up for me under those circumstances. ”

” this favor is as heavy as a mountain. i will remember it in my heart. in the future, if there is anything i can do to help, i will definitely help. ”

“it’s too serious.” yu liang shook his head. ” my father is a golden-dragon guard and the right-hand man of the red dragon emperor. ”

“under my influence, i know your majesty’s desire for talent and the hope you place on the people of da qian.”

” more importantly, i don’t want you, who killed the absolute beginning evil spirit and brought good fortune to thousands of people, to die like this. ”

” this isn’t the fate that a hero should have. it’s too cold-blooded and too innocent. ”

bai wushang looked at yu liang’s clear, bright, and pure eyes. he could roughly feel his true feelings, and couldn’t help but let out a breath of turbid air.

the other party’s breath was long and deep, like a bottomless abyss, and its depth could not be felt at all.

however, when he thought of the academy’s evaluation of him, his soul power must have already entered the peak of the mystic general rank.

this was a person who seemed refined and had good intentions, but his strength was unfathomable and difficult to fathom.

it was said that it had been a long time since anyone had seen him use his full strength.

it was impossible to tell how strong he was.

however, there were rumors that even if xia wanlong were to launch a sneak attack, the chances of him defeating the first seat would be close to zero.

the previous second place, the berserk asura hua mo yu, might be slightly stronger.

however, he didn’t have the power to fight back either, because yu liang had fought against two people and easily defeated the second, third, and second seats to climb to the first place.

if one had to compare, bai wushang had broken the record of the first-year students and set the record for the highest ranking in the shortest time.

however, the other party had broken the record of the strongest first seat. otherwise, how could he be praised as having the qualifications to become a saint?

with a trace of respect, bai wushang no longer discussed with him. he debated his gains and losses, weighing his merits and demerits.

at that time, they had never met, but this first seat didn’t hesitate to reveal his background and fully support him.

even if it wasn’t because of him in the end, it was still a huge favor.

if there was a chance, he would definitely repay it, or else he would feel guilty.

thinking of this, bai wushang turned to face the red-haired woman.

looking at the moon and flowers, the peerless beauty, his heart felt even more complicated. it could be said that all kinds of feelings were mixed.

however, for some reason, the few words of thanks that were originally lingering in his throat could not be said.

” she probably doesn’t like to talk so much. no matter how much she says, it’s better to repay this life-saving grace with actual actions in the future … ”

bai wushang turned his body slightly and looked at the orange-red bird that was marked as ” early stage complete body ” and ” 2-star commander level ” standing quietly on the red-haired woman’s shoulder. his thoughts churned, and he was suspicious.

in the end, she pursed her lips and nodded slightly, only saying two words.

“thank you,” he said.

zhu qin stared at him silently, and the surprise in her eyes slowly faded away. she returned to her expressionless state and interrupted, ”

“no need.”

” if it wasn’t for you, the evil spirits would have killed everyone, and i wouldn’t have survived. ”

” but if you replace ‘him,’ it’s the same as saving me. ”

“so, if i can, i will save you once.”

the red-haired woman did not deliberately reveal any emotional fluctuations, but her voice was very sweet, like the marbles of a kingfisher, intoxicating people.

she no longer stammered, and her speed of speech was no different from that of a normal person. she stared into bai wushang’s eyes and said in a threatening manner, ”

” i’m pursuing the path of the supreme. i don’t want to leave any flaws in my state of mind. ”

” at this point, you don’t owe me, and i don’t owe you. this is a very simple cause and effect relationship. ”

“if you mention it again in the future, the flames will be merciless. do as you see fit.”

“also, wait for me at any time. i’ll come and find you for a fight.”

“……”

the corners of bai wushang’s eyes twitched.

good fellow, after his sharp tongue, his offense has become so strong.

however, with this explanation, he could more or less understand what the other party was thinking. he was no longer confused about this “rescued but still confused” relationship.

after some thought, bai wushang followed zhu qin’s lead and replied,”

“of course, there’s no problem with fighting. i’m always ready to fight.”

“if it’s karma, then i won’t mention it in the future since you’re so insistent on it.”

“interesting ~”

xia wanlong snapped her fingers, curled her red lips, and smiled. ”

” when you fight, remember to call me. i can be the judge for free. ”

“blue-white, blue-red, take me too! i also want to watch the battle!”

lan qian’s eyes sparkled as he raised his little hand and shouted, afraid to miss this good show.

only the metal dummy sitting in the ninth seat suddenly spoke, ”

“hey, hey, hey, are you guys done? is there anything important? if there’s nothing else, i’ll send the puppet back!”

“i’m not here to listen to your gossip! i can’t even focus!”

“wait!” yu liang stopped him. ” brother zhuge, please calm down. ”

” it’s not easy to hold a meeting of the ten heroes. why don’t we take this opportunity to discuss some of the problems that the academy is facing recently? ”

zhuge ming hesitated for a moment and said in a gentler tone, ” go on, i’m listening. ”

” first of all, according to the information i’ve gathered, small beast tides have been breaking out in the southeast corner of the endless sand region, which is a part of the middle circle. ”

” there are several safety zones over there that belong to da qian. we, shanhai, have invested in them, so they can be considered our peripheral controllable defense system. ”

yu liang said in a clear voice,

“i hope that junior jiang and brother ye can go to the scene and investigate the situation.”

“there’s a high chance that a great treasure is about to appear. of course, we can’t rule out the possibility of a man-made disaster.”

“alright, we’ll set off tomorrow morning.”

jiang lingyue seemed to be used to this kind of task distribution. she almost instantly got into the zone.

” compile the detailed information into an information scroll and give it to me. also, i want an advance payment. ”

“no problem,” he said. yu liang nodded and turned to ye buzhan. ” brother ye, i’ll leave this to you. ”

” i hope to focus on the investigation. if i can solve it, i will. ”

“if you can’t solve it … we’ll talk about it later. i don’t have time to do it.”

“there’s a serial killer at the peak of the mystic general level who has harmed our academy’s students at least four times in the past half a month. i have to kill him as soon as possible to prevent more innocent people from dying …”

“i know.” this was also the first time night without chop had become one of the top ten. he was a little surprised and curious about this kind of half-work, half-training paid task.

however, he didn’t reject it. he accepted it readily and quickly adjusted himself to a battle-ready state.
