Chapter 85: College Entrance Exam Reform, New Entries

Liu Wentao heard the word "Demon."

His originally relaxed expression also began to turn serious. "We’ve got a clue, but haven’t located the exact base. Based on the attack you suffered on the Tang City train and the Beast Tide’s walking route..."

Liu Wentao stood up and walked to his desk, drawing a circle on the map behind it. The approximate location was in the middle of four cities, including Shencheng City and Tang City.

"Their exact base is likely here."

"Then why not make a move?"

"This area is huge, and it’s where two Abyss Edges intersect in the fourth region, making large-scale investigation impossible. The only option is to form small teams to investigate.

But right now, none of the four cities can form the necessary information for these teams to enter..."

"So, the intelligence from above is saying to temporarily clear out the Abyssal Creatures at the Abyss Edge, and everything else will be mobilized after the National Examination."

"I see." Shen Fei noted down the map in his mind.

It’s understandable to be cautious, given the Breaking Abyss Army’s warning.

After all, the National Examination is approaching.

The National Examination is currently the top priority for Wu Xia. Don’t be fooled into thinking the exam is just students going into the exam room casually.

The mobilization of personnel, security, and even instant emergency response, all require national-level mobilization, comparable to a great battle.

"Count me in for the operation!"

"You’ll be notified if something happens," Liu Wentao nodded, not refusing.

Shen Fei’s current strength can’t be seen as a high school student’s; he’s long surpassed many people.

"Then I’ll head off first."

"Mm."

...

Shen Fei returned to his house, greeted by the aroma of cooking, as Su Muyu was preparing a meal.

Shen Fei entered, gesturing for Empress and the others to go upstairs while he walked into the kitchen, observing the busy figure. "You’re back. Take a rest; the meal will be ready soon."

"Alright."

A moment later, Shen Fei sat at the dining table after washing his hands and couldn’t help but say while looking at Su Muyu’s bare face, "Should we hire someone? You should focus more on practicing."

"Don’t worry."

Su Muyu picked up a piece of meat for Shen Fei. "I can manage my time well. People are like springs; combining relaxation is the King’s Dao. Cooking isn’t hard work for me, it’s a way to relax."

"And it’s a chance to practice my control over flame."

"Huh?"

Shen Fei was puzzled. Cook as cultivation?

"Yeah, all these dishes are cooked with the Fire of Evil Power. How is it? Does it have a unique taste?"

"I thought I smelled something smoky, can it really be done this way?"

"Sometimes don’t see Professionals as you know from games. Some special skills can control power, sometimes it’s easier to make it big, but small is harder," Su Muyu explained.

Shen Fei nodded, "That’s true, but I’m a Summoner, hehe. Let’s have Empress learn your cooking style. Little girls are always looking at domineering Empress’s forced love... learn to cook...

What’s wrong?"

Shen Fei noticed Su Muyu squinting at him, making him feel a chill down his spine.

"You don’t want to eat my cooking?"

"Of course not."

"Then why have Little Ji learn?"

"Well... she’s good at Fire Magic, have her learn..." Shen Fei looked at Su Muyu’s face and chuckled, "Then let her learn something else."

"Hmph."

Su Muyu snorted, "It’s fine to learn; I’m not jealous."

"Oh? You’re jealous of my Summoned Beast?" Shen Fei shook his head, realizing that this Summoned Beast meant a lot to him, but after all, it’s still a Summoned Beast.

However, the Summoned Beast is indeed special, especially because it can develop intelligence.

Rumor has it that over time, the intelligence of Summoned Beasts will get higher and higher, essentially no different from people.

"Hehe."

Su Muyu gave no explanation, relying on a woman’s intuition.

Although it’s unclear why Shen Fei’s Summoned Beasts are so special, having intelligence.

But as long as they possess intelligence,

they are essentially no different from humans.

After eating, Su Muyu washed the dishes and looked at Shen Fei from the sofa. "There seems to be a change in the last item of the National Examination this time."

"What change? Wasn’t the last item a practical exercise? Heading to the Abyss Edge."

"It was initially, but the teacher told me this time, it should be a trip to the Abyss," Su Muyu leaned against Shen Fei and quietly said.

"Abyss? Sending a bunch of kids to the Abyss?"

Shen Fei was a little shocked, and by ’kids,’ he did mean high school students, right?

But this information came from Su Muyu’s teacher, a Tier Seven Venerable, so it must hold some truth.

Su Muyu nodded, "Yes, but I believe preparations have been made. It’s just that the pace of Abyssal invasions is accelerating recently, and Wu Xia has decided on a more aggressive approach to training students.

Other countries have already been sending individuals into the Abyss Edge after awakening their Profession for leveling, while instances are said to be for the wealthy."

"That’s good, too. I was thinking about when I could enter the Abyss. If the National Examination allows us to check out the Abyss, it at least gives us experience when we go in alone."

"Yes."

At night.

Su Muyu was on the computer examining Warlock combat methods and pondering skill combos, while Shen Fei lay on the sofa, soaking his feet.

That’s right, soaking his feet, but the water wasn’t ordinary, as there were colored liquids floating in it.

"Is this really effective?"

Shen Fei looked at Plague Doctor, who nodded, "This is to nourish... uh, strengthen the body, surely effective."

"Alright. How’s the recent potion research?" Shen Fei, not bothered by the heat, plunged his feet in.

"There’s no problem, but many materials need money."

"Money is not an issue. The things you concoct should be usable as items, correct?" Shen Fei pondered, knowing the initial investment was necessary.

"Definitely," Plague Doctor nodded.

"That’s good then. Try to concoct some for injury recovery and mana replenishment during this period; they’ll be very useful."

"Understood."

As the two chatted, Shen Fei opened the Term Ocean and did a Triple Draw.

[Legendary Term: Calamity Poison Body]

[Legendary Term: Innate Sword Bone]

[Legendary Term: Shadow Monarch]

"That’s... an Epic Level enhancement for Stabbing Immortal!" Shen Fei looked at the introduction of the three terms, surprised that two of them suited Stabbing Immortal so well.
