On the training ground, there were about a thousand Qing Campus students remaining.
Although these more than a thousand Qing Campus students were Intermediate-level mages, most of them couldn't even cast Middle-Rank magic.
However, this was enough to enter the Main Campus; reaching the Middle-Rank meant they could establish themselves in the Main Campus!
As for the assessment, it was related to the rewards before entering the Main Campus.
After hearing the rules, Ai Tutu excitedly said:
"We can actually team up, that makes things so much simpler!"
Without even thinking, Ai Tutu directly brought Mu Nujiao to find Cheng Xiao.
Now, the prestige of Cheng Xiao was like a terrifying shadow, looming over the entire Qing Campus.
Unless Cheng Xiao voluntarily gave up the reward for being first in the assessment, the chance to enter the Three Step Tower, then there might be a chance to compete.
Of course, this was not realistic.
Cheng Xiao did not refuse the request to team up.
Ai Tutu excitedly hugged Cheng Xiao's arm, holding on very tightly:
"Cheng Xiao, you're simply amazing!"
"Ai Tutu, watch your image!" Mu Nujiao looked unhappy.
Hearing this, Ai Tutu became even more brazen and deliberately said to Cheng Xiao:
"The Vinegar Jar is overturned again~~~ We're so close, what's wrong with a hug? Cheng Xiao doesn't even mind, Mu Nujiao, why are you so anxious?"
"You!" Mu Nujiao wanted to scold Ai Tutu, but when she parted her lips, she didn't know what to say.
Cheng Xiao lightly coughed twice and flicked Ai Tutu's forehead:
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Ai Tutu covered her forehead in pain and muttered:
"One is madly in love, one spoils and protects, and I'm stuck in the middle being bullied!"
At this moment, a graceful figure walked over and skillfully linked arms with Cheng Xiao's other arm.
"Cheng Xiao Junior, can I be on your team?"
Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu looked over at the same time, and upon seeing the other party's stunning beauty and unique temperament, they immediately became wary.
"Rain Dream Senior, do you also need the resources from the Three Step Tower this time?" Cheng Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Ding Yumeng hooked his strong arm and said coquettishly:
"Of course, although my Fire element has broken through to the Middle-Rank, my Sound element is still in the Primary-Rank.
"I heard from my sister that the effect of the Three Step Tower is very exaggerated, and I also want to experience it once inside.
"Cheng Xiao Junior, please take Senior with you this time, okay?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao only remembered that this Senior in front of him was a special existence who cultivated both Blood Magic and Orthodox Magic.
Because of Ding Yumeng's unique vampire aura, Cheng Xiao would subconsciously put her identity as a vampire first.
If she were an Orthodox Mage, the Three Step Tower would indeed have a multiplying effect on her.
"That's not a problem." Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement.
"Junior is so good!"
Joy showed on Ding Yumeng's face, and she quickly stood on tiptoe and lightly kissed Cheng Xiao on the cheek.
Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao, who were originally on guard, were completely stunned when they saw this scene.
A Senior who is beautiful, proactive, and can act coquettishly - this is simply a fatal blow!
As expected, even Cheng Xiao was momentarily stunned and didn't react immediately.
After some time apart, Ding Yumeng seemed to have changed quite a bit.
"Since that's the case, from now on, we are teammates, and I also ask the two little sisters to take care of me." Ding Yumeng said to Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao.
Towards a love rival, Ai Tutu originally didn't want to show any good face, but considering that the other party was Cheng Xiao's friend, she still nodded in response.
Mu Nujiao's expression wasn't very good, but she still showed a slightly stiff polite smile.
It's so uncomfortable to see the person you secretly love being kissed by another woman right in front of you.
After Ding Yumeng left, Ai Tutu immediately asked impatiently:
"Cheng Xiao, who is she? When did you meet? Your relationship is so close, why didn't we hear anything at all?"
"She's a Senior I met not long after school started. Because of some hunter commissions, we've often been in contact." Cheng Xiao explained simply.
"Is that so? Then you're just in a cooperative relationship, right? She kissed you just now, aren't you angry?" Ai Tutu continued to ask.
Cheng Xiao thought for a moment and asked back with a blank look:
"Should I be angry?"
Ai Tutu elbowed Mu Nujiao's arm beside her and whispered:
"Mu Nujiao, did you hear that? He's not angry about being kissed by someone he knows, you should hurry up and kiss him too."
"Ai Tutu, stop messing around!"
Mu Nujiao's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, already annoyed by being NTR'd in person.
"Serves you right for being the bitter owner." Ai Tutu first cursed inwardly, then said:
"Mu Nujiao, didn't you hear what Cheng Xiao just said? That Senior met him when school started.
Original text is being read!
"This shows that she saw Cheng Xiao's performance after the Beast Fighting Competition and became infatuated with him, trying every means to get close to him.
"There will be no shortage of women like this in the future. Now there's only one who kissed Cheng Xiao right in front of you. What will happen if there are more later?
"If you ask me, you should take the initiative now and make the raw rice into cooked rice. Maybe you can even compete for the position of Harem Master in the future!
"If you keep dragging this on, let alone anything happening with Cheng Xiao, you might even have to queue up to see him in the future!"
This time, Mu Nujiao uncharacteristically did not get angry and refute Ai Tutu, but instead genuinely fell into deep thought.
What Ai Tutu said was not without reason; she wasn't the only one who liked and secretly loved Cheng Xiao.
The reason she was able to get so close to Cheng Xiao was purely because she was the first friend he met, and that was it.
If she didn't make good use of this identity and take action, things might really turn out as Ai Tutu said.
"What, what should I do?"
When Mu Nujiao said this sentence, she seemed to have used up all her courage, lowering her head and not daring to look up.
"Mu Nujiao, you've finally come to your senses!" Ai Tutu looked surprised, glanced at Cheng Xiao, and then quietly said to Mu Nujiao:
"Aren't we teaming up with Cheng Xiao for this assessment? Listen to me..."
...
Late at night, in a dilapidated factory near the Huangpu River.
This factory seemed to specialize in purchasing low-quality meat, and the foul smell could be sniffed from a long distance away.
Besides the smell of low-quality meat, there was also a disgusting odor like feces.
"Lulu, wait for me here. If you don't see me come out after ten minutes, leave immediately!"
After Xu Zhaoting said this, he ignored his girlfriend's obstruction and secretly snuck into the dilapidated factory.
What he didn't notice was that the moment he entered the shadow, a pair of pale eyes opened within the shadow.
He secretly snuck in through a broken window.
Xu Zhaoting stood on the steel beams high up in the factory, looking down, his face showing anger:
"As expected, it's these beasts from the Black Vatican! No, it seems... someone is missing?"
"Are you talking about me?"
While Xu Zhaoting was confused, a cold voice came from behind him.
Driven mad by revenge, Xu Zhaoting had completely failed to consider that there was another person lurking in the dark.
By the time he reacted, it was already too late
