Chapter 34 - Banquet

Chapter 34 Banquet

The banquet was held in a grand hall. In the dazzling hall, people in different clothes came and went, chatting happily.

Wang Xu was not conspicuous among them. When he walked in, even the waiter did not look at him.

There were many handsome men and beautiful women. Red Ax was like Granny Liu who had entered a grand garden and was filled with curiosity about everything. His eyes could not take in everything.

“Hey!” Wang Xu waved at Golden Shield and the others who were dressed in suits in the distance. The members of the Crimson Flame Legion were all here today. Black Whip and Blue Sword were wearing formal suits, while Gui Suan and Golden Shield were wearing suits. Red Eyes was fiddling with his strange red clothes.

“Brother Wang, you look quite energetic today.” Golden Shield smiled and punched Wang Xu.

“It’s rare for us to attend such a banquet. We can’t embarrass our Crimson Flame Legion.” Wang Xu smiled.

A few people entered the lobby one after another. They were all women in evening gowns, but Wang Xu’s eyes lit up.

“Tang Yan!” Wang Xu waved his hand.

In the distance, Tang Yan was wearing a snow-white dress, revealing her snow-white shoulders. Her hair was tied up, and her steps were graceful. She was like a fairy who had stepped into the mortal world. As soon as she entered the hall, she attracted the attention of many men.

Tang Yan was too beautiful. She was indescribably beautiful. She was like a holy light that shone on the ground, making people feel warm and want to approach her.

“Wang Xu!” Tang Yan saw Wang Xu and smiled brightly as she waved her hand.

Everyone in the hall immediately focused their gazes on Wang Xu. There were all kinds of gazes, envy, jealousy, pity, frustration. If looks could kill, Wang Xu would probably have turned into an atom by now.

“Not bad, kid. You actually picked up a peerless beauty without anyone noticing!” The few people from the Crimson Flame Legion couldn’t help but tease Wang Xu.

Wang Xu touched his nose and blushed.

“Tang Yan, I heard that you joined the Flower Sect Legion?” Wang Xu took two glasses of wine and handed one to Tang Yan.

“Yes, I have an older sister in the Flower Sect Legion. She introduced me to the legion.” Tang Yan pointed at one of the women in a black evening gown. This was a queen-like woman, like an iceberg. All the men who approached her felt a chill. As if she felt his gaze, she looked in Wang Xu’s direction, and Wang Xu’s heart skipped a beat.

What a powerful gaze!

At least level seven, Wang Xu thought.

The Flower Sect Legion was ranked 97th, and their leader, Hua Ying, was a level-seven master. Clearly, she was Tang Yan’s iceberg sister.

One after another, Wang Xu saw a few familiar faces.

Ying Xing, the senior brother of the Inner Academy, was at level five during the graduation trial. He had just joined the Soul Stream Legion and had already reached the peak of level five. He was only one step away from level six.

Zhang Xinglin was still dressed in black. His eyes were cold and he had a proud personality. He closed his eyes and rested in the corner.

“Senior Ying Xing, how have you been?” Since he had already seen him, Wang Xu naturally couldn’t ignore him, so he went up to greet him.

Ying Xing’s expression changed when he saw Wang Xu.

Wang Xu had reached level five, and he was at the mid-stage of level five.

Geniuses all had pride and were especially strong-minded. He thought that it was already impressive for him to advance from the mid-stage to the peak of level five in just a few days. He did not expect that someone would be faster than him, and it was even a junior from the Outer Academy. This made Ying Xing feel very upset.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Xu saw someone and couldn’t help but smile.

William Smith was a genius who had once dominated the entire safe zone. He had been arrogant since he was young. He was talented and powerful and had almost never lost. However, Wang Xu made a fool of him in the graduation trial. Not only did he kill all his team members, but he also successfully escaped.

This was a huge grudge.

William Smith’s gaze also followed Wang Xu. When he saw Wang Xu’s harmless smile, the anger in his heart couldn’t help but rise.

Humiliation!

Absolute humiliation!

He was a level-five genius student, but he was actually schemed against by a level-four guy. He had been holding this anger in his heart and wanted to vent it for a long time.

“Wang Xu, don’t think that you can live peacefully just because you’ve advanced to level five. Don’t let me meet you in the wild, or I’ll definitely let you die miserably!” William Smith said with a dark expression.

William Smith was now at the peak of level five, just like Ying Xing. He was only one step away from level six. He believed that he didn’t need much strength to deal with a little guy who had just advanced to level five.

“Anytime,” Wang Xu replied with a smile.

Even Xu Zhou, who was at the peak of level six, had been defeated by him. What right did William Smith have to threaten him? It could be said that all the powerful opponents in the past were no longer obstacles in Wang Xu’s eyes!

There were more and more people in the hall. Golden Shield’s expression was a little bitter as he saw these students participating in the banquet.

“Those present are all legions within a hundred. Except for us.”

Wang Xu was secretly shocked. How powerful was it to be able to invite all the members of the legions within a hundred? Who was the organizer of this banquet?

“Phew…” Suddenly, the sound of a floating tool spewing flames came from above the noisy hall. Then the transparent skylight above the hall opened. The entrance of a dark blue flying battleship opened and cast a pillar of light. A tall and burly figure slowly landed in the pillar of light.

A flying battleship!

Wang Xu had heard countless times that flying battleships were the means of transportation for experts. Even flying insect beasts might not be able to shoot it down as it was made with supersonic speed and special material.

A forty-square-meter flying battleship required tens of millions of contribution points, and the bigger ones directly exceeded hundred million. There were flying battleships sold in the Legion Mall, and the highest price was three hundred million. It could be said to be priceless.

Flying battleships were a symbol of status and strength. Even if some people could afford to buy flying battleships, they could not afford to maintain them. What they needed to consume was cosmic energy. Moreover, they need all kinds of high-level firearms and high-level ores to maintain them. If they could maintain a flying battleship, their strength would at least be above level eight!

As expected, Wang Xu shifted his gaze from the flying battleship to the burly figure that was slowly descending. This person’s aura was mysterious and extraordinary. He was even more powerful than Teacher Poison, the dean, and the others.

Eighth level! This person was at the eighth level!

The burly figure slowly landed as people discussed. Then, he smiled warmly. “Thank you all for personally attending the banquet organized by me, Yan Cheng. It’s my honor.” The voice was magnetic, and his burly but handsome face, coupled with his powerful strength, made the eyes of many women present burn.

“Today is my sister, Yan Muling’s 19th birthday. I took the initiative to hold a birthday party. Muling blamed me for mobilizing too many people. I hope everyone doesn’t mind.” Yan Cheng apologized to everyone first, making everyone’s impression of him rise.

Wang Xu chuckled. It seemed that a level-eight powerhouse wasn’t as old-fashioned as he had imagined. It was just that he didn’t know how beautiful the “Holy Fairy” that Red Ax had mentioned was.

Everyone loved beauty. As a man, Wang Xu naturally had expectations for beautiful women.

At this moment, an elegant white figure slowly landed in the pillar of light. As soon as she appeared, there was a cry of surprise.

Beautiful!

Too beautiful!

A beauty that didn’t belong to the mortal world and could only be seen in the heavens!

Wang Xu was stunned, but he was more surprised. Wasn’t this woman… the woman he met in front of the testing machine that day?

Tang Yan pouted and pinched him, making him rub his nose awkwardly. Being attracted to another beauty in front of a beauty was a huge taboo. No matter how beautiful she was, he couldn’t look at her directly!

There was silence in the hall. The men’s gazes were almost completely attracted to Yan Muling. Her graceful figure was wrapped in a black crystal dress. Her beautiful black hair flowed like a waterfall, and her holy and noble temperament was intoxicating.

Yan Muling slowly landed under everyone’s gaze. Her sparkling eyes looked at the crowd. There were familiar people, people she knew, and people she didn’t know. And… Eh? It was that level-five student?

Wang Xu retracted his gaze after the shock. To him, no matter how beautiful a woman was, she could not compare to Tang Yan.

“I’m Yan Muling. Thank you for coming to my birthday party. Thank you.” An ethereal and pleasant voice sounded. Everyone was shocked again and could not take their eyes off Yan Muling.

“Ax, wipe your saliva. Look at you.” Red Ax, who was at the side, was almost drooling. When he came to his senses, he chuckled and wiped his saliva.

e even mor

became even more lively with the main character here. Wang Xu also chatted with people he was familiar with.

“Dean!” Wang Xu saw the dean with a walking stick and immediately went forward to greet him. To him, the dean was his benefactor. This favor was too great.

“Yes, I’m old, but my eyesight hasn’t aged yet. It’s only been a few days, but you’ve already reached level five.” The dean smiled.

Silver Armor and Three Eyes, who were beside the dean, also looked at each other in surprise. Wang Xu’s improvement was indeed beyond their expectations.

The few of them chatted happily. During this period, Three Eyes told them that after the graduation trial ended, Huang Long lost nearly half of his students. He was so angry that he flew into a rage, making them happy for a long time.

“Hello.” Just as they were chatting happily, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded. Wang Xu glanced at it and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Yan Muling.

Her crystal-like eyes looked at Wang Xu. Yan Muling extended her hand. Wang Xu saw the gazes that were filled with hatred and killing intent behind her and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

Wang Xu shook her hand briefly and forced a smile under the pressure of so many gazes. “Hello, Miss Muling. May I know why you’re looking for me?”

The dean and the others shook their heads. Wang Xu was too bad at chatting. When other girls take the initiative to strike up a conversation, he should at least have a chat or praise them.

“I want to know how you managed to punch so hard in the cultivation room last time.” Yan Muling blinked and asked.

Cultivation room? Wang Xu suddenly understood. The fist strength test would keep the last test subject’s fist strength data. Unless it was deliberately cleared, it would not be cleared until the next test result was refreshed.

At that time, Wang Xu left in a hurry and forgot about this matter. He didn’t expect Yan Muling to return.

“Fist strength? What fist strength? I rarely go to the cultivation room. You must have gotten the wrong person.” Wang Xu pretended to be stunned. He didn’t want to expose his strength.

Yan Muling pursed her lips and smiled. She didn’t expose Wang Xu. “In that case, I’ll take my leave first.” Then, Yan Muling flicked her black hair and turned to leave.

Wang Xu heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that Yan Muling would keep asking and make this matter known to the entire city. At that time, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
