112: Ghostly Treasure Hunt

Xue Cheng understood that this time, he had taken advantage of Xiao Weiqing and Qin Tian.

He knew Qin Tian's strength well; he improved every day, and he had already entered the top 30 of the Heavenly Ladder.

As for Xiao Weiqing, he was even more incredible.

Although his ranking on the Heavenly Ladder was only 20, that was because Xiao Weiqing didn't participate in it much.

In fact, everyone in the top 10 of the Heavenly Ladder, except for Dongfang Xuan and Xia Mo, had been taken care of by Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing maintained a 100% win rate to this day; the only other person with a 100% win rate was Dongfang Xuan.

Among the 64 higher academies and thousands of Supernatural Universities in the Great Xia, who didn't know that Luo Jiang Academy had produced a monster who had reached the Second Realm just one month after his Supernatural Awakening, sweeping through the Geniuses of every university?

It was just that Xia Mo and Dongfang Xuan's points were too high, and Xiao Weiqing only went to the Heavenly Ladder occasionally to maintain his ranking, so Xiao Weiqing had never encountered the two of them.

However, everyone was looking forward to a match between Xiao Weiqing, Dongfang Xuan, and Xia Mo.

Naturally.

As those Geniuses with Level 6 Extraordinary Talent successively reached the Second Realm, everyone began to discuss the relative strength of Xiao Weiqing and these people again.

The three of them boarded the aircraft.

This aircraft was specifically for traveling between Luo Jiang Academy and the Youming Ruins.

At this moment, many people were already sitting on the aircraft.

Most of them were second year Trainees, with a few third year ones.

The arrival of the three attracted the attention of the other Trainees.

"Xiao Weiqing?"

A soft exclamation focused everyone's gaze on Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing turned his head to look.

"Senior Liu?"

The person who said Xiao Weiqing's name was none other than Liu Qi, who had learned the saber with him under Zhao Jia back then.

"Long time no see. You are a prominent figure in the academy now; from the principal down to the Trainees, who doesn't know you?"

"Senior Liu, you flatter me."

"Going to participate in the assessment in the Youming Ruins?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Yes."

Liu Qi glanced at Qin Tian and Xue Cheng beside Xiao Weiqing and nodded. "Are these two your teammates?"

"This is Qin Tian and Xue Cheng."

"Hello, Senior Liu."

"Hello."

Liu Qi did not put on airs. Since these two could be Xiao Weiqing's teammates, they must also be Geniuses from the first year Upper Academy. He had also heard of Qin Tian's name.

The future achievements of these two would certainly be much higher than someone with his Level 3 Extraordinary Talent. It was definitely the right choice to get to know them.

"Find a place to sit. We'll arrive in an hour."

The three of them found a corner and sat down.

Liu Qi also returned to his seat.

"Liu Qi, is he that first year Xiao Weiqing, the freak who opened his spiritual qi sea just one month after Awakening?"

Liu Qi nodded. "That's right, it's him."

"He doesn't have an extra head or extra hands compared to us; he's just a bit more handsome. How could he manage to open his Dantian in one month?"

Which of them, the Trainees of the second year Lower Academy, hadn't taken half a year, or even more than half a year, to open their Dantian and enter the Second Realm?

"It really is maddening to compare people."

"Indeed, you can't compare. I heard the academy re-tested his Extraordinary Talent, and the Rank has been modified to Level 5."

Someone else said, "Actually, not long after school started, I heard of him. Level 3 Extraordinary Talent defeating a Level 5, and even defeating a Level 6 in the Heavenly Ladder. I even specifically studied him. Who would have thought..."

"The ugly duckling can turn into a white swan because it was a white swan to begin with. Besides, Xiao Weiqing isn't an ugly duckling either."

"Sigh, for us with Level 3 talent, we should just honestly Cultivate and not think about those unrealistic things."

A group of second year Trainees whispered to each other, their gazes occasionally sweeping toward Xiao Weiqing's direction, full of envy.

Time passed in a flash.

The aircraft arrived at a small supply station, which had been built by Luo Jiang Prefecture half a month ago to serve as a transit and supply point for exploring the ruins.

There were quite a few Demon Suppressing Army soldiers patrolling the surroundings.

The aircraft hatch opened, and after the three of them landed, Xiao Weiqing discovered that many other aircraft were also landing.

"There are students from other Supernatural Universities?" Xiao Weiqing saw many students wearing the uniforms of other schools.

"Yes, because the Youming Ruins appeared suddenly in Luo Jiang Prefecture, it is considered the property of Luo Jiang Prefecture.

However, this ruin is unstable and might not be open for long, so Luo Jiang Prefecture decided that all Supernatural Universities within Luo Jiang Prefecture, as long as they meet the criteria, can go and compete for it."

"Let's go, we're almost there."

Everyone passed through the small town.

After passing through several inspections, they arrived at a plaza.

A burly officer wearing the uniform of the Demon Suppressing Army stepped out.

"There are 321 of you in this batch. After entering, don't waste time exploring the ruins. Follow the signs directly to the Youming Hall in the center for the assessment. What you can obtain depends on your own strength."

"Remember, internal fighting is prohibited within the ruins. Otherwise, not only you yourselves, but even the Supernatural University you belong to will be held accountable."

Immediately after, a huge oval door appeared, surrounded by black mist. It was impossible to see the situation inside, as if it led to an abyss.

Xue Cheng complained, "This ruin passage feels a bit eerie."

Liu Qi laughed from the side, "You're not the only one who has said that."

"Hurry up."

Everyone entered the black mist one by one.

The three of them, Xiao Weiqing, also entered.

Hum~

Suddenly, a sense of weightlessness hit him, and Xiao Weiqing felt himself falling. This feeling was very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the next moment, his vision suddenly cleared.

His feet touched solid ground.

After his vision recovered, Xiao Weiqing looked around and found only a few people beside him.

"Together?"

Someone beside him saw Xiao Weiqing looking a bit lost and asked.

"Sure, Senior."

"No need to call me Senior. I'm also a second year; my name is Lin Yong, from Tianyin Academy."

Xiao Weiqing said, "Hello, Senior Lin. My name is Xiao Weiqing, from Luo Jiang Academy."

"first year?"

Lin Yong was stunned. Wasn't that only two months after Awakening?

"Xiao Weiqing? Your name is Xiao Weiqing? You are Xiao Weiqing?" Lin Yong suddenly remembered something.

Xiao Weiqing looked helpless. Did he need to ask three times?

"Yes, Senior Lin."

Lin Yong stared at Xiao Weiqing, his eyes full of amazement. "I have heard of you."

"Let's go, to the Youming Hall."

Xiao Weiqing and Lin Yong walked for about half an hour and arrived at a group of broken buildings.

Passing through the ruins, their vision suddenly opened up.

On the wide plaza, quite a few people were standing, bustling about. In fact, there were over a thousand people, but the plaza was so large that it seemed empty.

A large hall sat in the center of the plaza, looking quite old. The three main gates in front were tightly closed.

"Xiao Weiqing, the people from your Luo Jiang Academy should all be in the front. You can just go there."

"I'm going to find my teammates."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Thank you, Senior Lin."

"You're welcome."

Xiao Weiqing walked through the crowd and arrived at the Luo Jiang Academy camp.

"Xiao Weiqing, here!" Xue Cheng waved his hand.

"Xiao Weiqing?"

"Xiao Weiqing really came?"

"What's the use of coming? Three rookies who just reached the Second Realm; they probably won't even pass the first round."

Many people were sizing up Xiao Weiqing, with curiosity, envy, and jealousy.

Xiao Weiqing ignored them and reunited with Qin Tian and Xue Cheng.

"How is it? When does the assessment start?"

Qin Tian said, "I asked the seniors; it should be tomorrow, or at the latest, in the afternoon."
