Chapter 20 (1/2)

Li Qishui glanced at everyone. He opened his mouth, and asked, “What happened?”

No one dared to say anything.

Li Qishui had always been stern, and he was their headteacher too. Thus, whenever the students saw him, they were like mice that saw a cat.

Li Qishui looked at Mo Xiaobai. The coldness on his face subsided a little. “Xiaobai, what happened? You can speak.”

Mo Xiaobai lifted the corners of his mouth and gave a forced smile. “I suddenly achieved my breakthrough and became a Force Warrior, so my classmates were a little excited—”

“What?!”

Before Mo Xiaobai could finish his sentence, Li Qishui exclaimed with wide eyes.

He hurriedly came beside Mo Xiaobai and carefully felt his aura.

Then, his breathing got heavier and an excited smile blossomed on his stern face. “Good, good, good! This is really unexpected! Not bad!”

He raised his hand and patted Mo Xiaobai’s shoulder. The smile on his face got gentler. “There’s still a period of time before the university entrance exam starts. Continue working hard. Don’t waste your time.”

Mo Xiaobai nodded. “Yes.”

Li Qishui nodded in satisfaction. Then, he turned and returned to the podium. His expression became calm once again.

He scanned the students below, and then said, “I’m sure that all of you know about the murder case this morning, right?

“This is the second victim, and he’s a student from our school.”

Li Qishui frowned slightly before continuing, “The officials are trying their best to catch the killer. For this period of time, don’t linger around outside after school ends, and don’t go to quiet places alone. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

The reply from the students was exceptionally loud.

Even without Li Qishui’s reminder, no one would dare to go to quiet places.

They were still young. Wasn’t it good to continue living?

Four days later, early in the morning, Mo Xiaobai sat cross-legged on his bed and opened his eyes slowly.

He smiled. It was an excited smile.

He finally managed to breakthrough to one force point third-rank!

However, his head started hurting when he saw that there were only around 20 pieces of crystal remnants left in his space ring.

His cultivation was going smoothly, but his crystal remnants were depleting at a fast rate too. They weren’t even able to last him a week.

Fortunately, he managed to reach the third-rank, so his battle power increased slightly. He was able to go to graystone hill to take a look.

After he finished breakfast, Mo Xiaobai told Mo You and Mu Yuzhu that he wanted to go to graystone hill for an expedition. At first, Mo You and Mu Yuzhu didn’t agree.

However, when they heard that Mo Xiaobai had already reached one force point third-rank, they were flabbergasted.

After some consideration, they still agreed with his suggestion.

Cultivation wasn’t the only thing Force Warriors needed to do. Going to the hollow realm for expeditions was a normal thing for them too.

Mo Xiaobai had already reached one force point third-rank. Along with his flawless grade force foundation, his power of the Giants, the uncommon grade Triple Slash force technique, and the full set of elite grade items, his battle power might be higher than that of an ordinary one force point fifth-grade Force Warrior.

If they didn’t allow him to go on an expedition when he had such power, they would be spoiling him too much.

In the end, Mo You agreed to help Mo Xiaobai take leave from his school so that he could go to graystone hill.

Mo Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

If his parents hadn’t agreed, he would have had to go secretly.

Mo Xiaobai left the house happily as Mu Yuzhu kept reminding him about what he should be careful with.

At the graystone hill expedition center.

After Mo Xiaobai entered the main hall, he went to the counter to buy his ticket first.

You only needed to be a one force point Force Warrior if you wanted to enter first-rank normal grade hollow realms. But, for higher grade hollow realms, some required the Force Warriors to reach a certain rank.

The entrance ticket was quite expensive. It cost 10 first-rank crystal remnants.
