96: Freshman Arena

“Yu, Yu Xiu?”

Hu Jiali was stunned at first, then abruptly twisted her snow-white neck. Her youthful, sweet face showed panic as she stammered to Yu Xiu, “You, you just said, you, your name is Yu Xiu?”

At this moment, the sophomore students responsible for registration were not much better than Hu Jiali.

They never expected that this sunny and handsome big boy in front of them was actually the rumored great Devil King Yu Xiu.

“I am Yu Xiu!”

Saying this, he took out his admission letter from his storage device and handed it to the sophomore student in charge of registration.

It was just that they seemed a little afraid, their originally calm eyes now darting around.

After taking the admission letter, opening it, and seeing the information, they stopped talking even more, simply lowering their heads to register the information.

On the other hand, Hu Jiali occasionally raised her head, her peach blossom eyes curiously examining Yu Xiu.

This sunny, handsome boy who made people feel very comfortable was actually Yu Xiu, but was he really the great Devil King?

Oh no!

I think I’ve been badmouthing him the whole way, even saying he was a Devil King who killed without batting an eye. He won’t be angry, will he?

He wouldn't kill me to silence me, would he? He is a Devil King who kills without batting an eye.

I never thought that one day, I, Hu Jiali, would gossip about the person themselves.

“Yu, Yu Xiu, according to the school System information, you are an SSS-level freshman and do not need to pay tuition fees.”

“This is your information receipt. With it, you can collect your student ID and other items.”

After the enrollment information registration was completed, the sophomore student respectfully handed Yu Xiu a receipt stamped with the Huaxia University seal.

“Thank you, senior sister!”

Yu Xiu took the information receipt, his long fingers holding the receipt and shaking it twice in front of Hu Jiali’s eyes, saying, “Senior Sister Hu, I’ll have to trouble you to take me to collect my items next.”

“Oh, oh, this is what I should do. I am, I am a volunteer.”

Hu Jiali suddenly snapped back to reality, remembering her previous act of staring intently at Yu Xiu’s face, and immediately became even more flustered.

Hu Jiali raised her snow-white wrist, and Yu Xiu only saw a fair arm quickly snatch the information receipt. Looking again, Hu Jiali was already taking small, quick steps forward.

Yu Xiu also seemed to understand Hu Jiali’s sudden strange behavior.

Gossiping about the person themselves was indeed a very embarrassing thing.

However, Yu Xiu didn't say much, simply following Hu Jiali in silence.

He didn't know how long they had walked.

Hu Jiali suddenly stopped, turned around, her peach blossom eyes darting nervously, and said with a forced smile, “I, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Yu Xiu smiled playfully and asked, “Is senior sister referring to me killing without batting an eye, or to the great Devil King?”

Seeing Yu Xiu’s expression, Hu Jiali immediately became even more flustered, abruptly taking two steps back. Her originally sweet face now showed vigilance.

She feigned composure, but her tone of voice was clearly lacking in confidence.

“I, I’m telling you, don’t mess around. This is Huaxia University. If you kill someone here, you won’t escape either.”

“I really didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t know you were Yu Xiu. Besides, everything I know, I heard from others.”

Yu Xiu deliberately remained silent, then asked, “Who told you? As long as you tell me their name, I’ll let you go.”

“I, I…” Hu Jiali shook her head sharply and said, “I can’t say. She’s my good friend. I won’t say.”

“Is that so?” Yu Xiu took a step forward, and Hu Jiali’s pupils contracted, as she abruptly took two steps back.

“I, I won’t say.”

Hu Jiali’s voice suddenly choked, tears involuntarily streaming down her face, and she stubbornly said, “I won’t betray my good friend.”

Seeing this scene, Yu Xiu stood dumbfounded. His eyes, which had been narrowed, now showed an embarrassed expression.

He had only found Hu Jiali amusing before and wanted to tease her, but he didn't expect to make her cry.

“Uh, senior sister, I was just joking with you. Although I’ve killed many, I never indiscriminately kill the innocent.”

Hu Jiali’s face showed a bewildered expression, her tear-laden eyelashes trembled twice, and she asked tentatively, “You won’t kill me?”

“Why would I kill you? Just because you said I kill without batting an eye, and I’m a Devil King? Those things aren’t enough to warrant killing someone to silence them.”

“Are you sure?” Hu Jiali hesitated, apparently still skeptical.

“I’m sure!”

Hu Jiali pouted, then suddenly thought of something and quickly said, “You, you can’t kill my good friend either.”

Yu Xiu couldn't help but laugh, “Senior sister, I don’t even know who your good friend is.”

“That’s true!”

Hu Jiali suddenly realized, sniffled, and raised her fair, slender arm, haphazardly wiping her eyes.

Apparently feeling that this way of wiping wasn't effective, she then rubbed her eyes haphazardly with both hands.

“You’re so annoying!”

Hu Jiali, having calmed down, finally realized that Yu Xiu had been teasing her all along.

“Yes, I’m annoying!”

Hu Jiali chuckled, blinked twice, and waved her hand, saying, “What happened just now is in the past. I’m not angry with you. Actually, you’re quite a good person. The rumors are all lies. You’re not at all like a Devil King who kills without batting an eye.”

Yu Xiu nodded with a smile and said, “You’re right, the rumors are all lies.”

Hu Jiali pouted with a smile, “Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll take you to get your student ID.”

“Oh, right, then I’ll take you to the freshman ranking arena. With your strength…”

Hu Jiali became more and more excited, “Wow, I can’t imagine what their expressions will be when they find out you’re Yu Xiu. It’ll probably be incredibly fun. I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Hurry, hurry, walk faster!”

Under Hu Jiali’s constant urging, Yu Xiu and she quickly arrived at the Political Education Building.

At this time, there was a long line like a Dragon here, obviously all students coming to collect their student IDs.

“I forgot, today is registration day, so there must be many students collecting their student IDs. Let’s wait in line!”

Hu Jiali looked at the long queue, a disappointed expression on her face.

It seemed she was disappointed that she couldn't see those people’s shocked expressions right away.

“Cultivation God!”

At this moment, several students at the front of the line suddenly turned their heads and shouted in surprise.

Yu Xiu looked over, certain that these students were not from Qin Province.

To know him, they must have participated in the Provincial Training Camp.

“Cultivation God, are you also here to get your student ID? Our line is closer to the front, you can come queue with us!”

Yu Xiu originally wanted to refuse, but Hu Jiali’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, classmates. I also want to take Yu Xiu to the freshman arena…”

“Freshman arena?”

“Cultivation God is going to the freshman arena?”

Several students were clearly a bit slow to process. No one knew Yu Xiu’s strength better than them; he was a Martial Venerable!

Who would dare to challenge Yu Xiu at the freshman arena?

However, on second thought, this seemed like a very interesting thing.

“Cultivation God, come to our spot. We’ll go with you later.”
