Chapter 9: Lan Yu

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On Fang Xuan’s back was Ning Lanqing, who was still unconscious. The scenery on both sides retreated rapidly.

According to the latter, another Thousand-legged Worm King would appear tomorrow. They had to leave before dark, or it would be difficult to deal with.

He looked up at the slowly setting sun and thought about his gains from this trip.

According to the system, after killing the Thousand-legged Worm King, he had already jumped to Level 50. His insect energy points had also increased a lot. Moreover… he touched the ring on his hand. The spirit cores and poisonous teeth in it were nothing. They were far inferior to the value of this ring.

Ning Lanqing also slowly woke up. After letting out a few moans, Fang Xuan finally noticed the abnormality on her back, so he stopped to check on Ning Lanqing’s injuries.

“Fang Xuan? Where’s the Thousand-legged Worm King?”

“Of course he’s dead.”

Fang Xuan shrugged. The former looked around—the forest was still the same forest, but the fog had disappeared, revealing a patch of greenery.

“My poison… was cured by you?”

Although Ning Lanqing was unconscious, she didn’t lose her memory. At the last moment of her consciousness, it seemed like Fang Xuan was standing in front of her.

Wasn’t he the lowest grade F talent? How could he reach this realm?

Could it be that he had other secret skills?

Fortunately, Ning Lanqing could be considered an Eldest Young Miss who had seen the world. She didn’t ask Fang Xuan too much, and Fang Xuan just laughed it off.

Fang Xuan spread out his perception and roughly probed Ning Lanqing’s physical condition. Other than the excessive consumption of energy, there was nothing else unusual. Only then did he relax.

“I was lucky. I happened to find something in the fog that could detoxify you. Let’s go. Let’s leave before dark.”

As he spoke, Fang Xuan squatted down and gestured for Ning Lanqing to get on his back again.

At the end of the day, she was in danger because she wanted to protect him. He couldn’t mistreat her, could he?

Ning Lanqing looked at Fang Xuan, who was still hunched over, and then at her own arms that were tied up with cloth strips. Her face turned red, but she didn’t refuse.

After all, it was better to preserve her strength now. If she encountered other magical beasts later, she could still fight.

Moreover, it felt good to let this guy carry her.

Fang Xuan was completely unaware of the girl’s thoughts behind him. Instead, he silently sensed the changes in the upgraded ant.

This Thousand-legged Worm King had brought him 100 insect energy points. Coupled with what he had obtained previously, he could now control nearly 20 ants at the same time.

Of course, he could not be too ostentatious. He would just let them think that he was still that trash with F-rank talent.

Other than that, the various abilities of his body had all been enhanced in different sizes. Now, carrying Ning Lanqing on his back was even lighter than walking on foot.

The abilities of the ants had also been strengthened. Now, he could control them to use the [Earth Poison] skill.

This skill came from the same source as the Thousand-legged Worm King. It could freely control the poisonous fog through Fang Xuan’s consciousness. When there was a chance, he had to try it in actual combat.

Fang Xuan followed the directions in his memory and headed west. Finally, he saw the tall grass he had come from.

After pushing aside the bushes, he saw Leng Lingxiao and a group of dejected students not far away. It seemed that they had gotten into a lot of trouble in the forest. He let out a long sigh of relief. It was finally over. Then, he carried Ning Lanqing and walked towards the team.

The students on the ground were originally panting, but when they saw their postures, they had different reactions. Their stolen gazes more or less carried some hostility, especially Sun Ming, who was at the edge of the crowd.

Only then did Fang Xuan realize that something was wrong. He hurriedly put Ning Lanqing down from his back and nodded slightly at Leng Lingxiao.

The latter was stunned and returned a somewhat forced smile.

This made Fang Xuan even more certain: This guy had seen most of what he had done in the Misty Forest. Even when Ning Lanqing was unconscious in the end, he didn’t make a move. He was quite tolerant.

“Everyone is here. Very good, there are no casualties. Then, who killed the Thousand-legged Worm King?”

“It’s Fang Xuan!”

Before the person in question could reply, a crisp female voice resounded in the middle of the crowd.

Then, there was a long silence.

“Not only did Fang Xuan kill the Thousand-legged Worm King, but he also stood up and killed it alone when I was attacked by the Thousand-legged Worm King.”

Fang Xuan sighed and looked at the serious Ning Lanqing behind him.

This little girl really knew how to create hatred for me.

“Oh? So it’s Student Fang Xuan?”

Leng Lingxiao was a little surprised.

He knew the general situation of the Misty Wood. He had been there when Ning Lanqing and the other two had entered the Misty Wood. But from what she had said, it seemed that Fang Xuan was the main force?

At this moment, Fang Xuan was extremely embarrassed and could only nod twice.

“It’s just a loophole. Coincidence. Coincidence.”

“Hmph, what’s there to brag about? It’s just a coincidence. This kid stole my limelight. I haven’t settled the score with him yet.”

An extremely inappropriate voice entered everyone’s ears. It was Sun Ming, whose face was filled with dissatisfaction.

Fang Xuan wanted to continue treating him like a fart, but Ning Lanqing couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Student Sun Ming, can you tell me in detail who stole your limelight? Not only did you almost get me killed, but you also ran faster than anyone else during the entire process when we fought the Thousand-legged Worm. Is this your so-called limelight? Other than causing trouble, what other limelight do you have?”

Sun Ming still wanted to retaliate. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

What Ning Lanqing said wasn’t a lie at all. Everything was the truth.

“Alright, be quiet for a while. It’s getting late.” Leng Lingxiao was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.

“Since Fang Xuan killed the Thousand-legged Worm King, all the spoils of war will be obtained by him. Everyone has to learn from him.”

“After all, it’s not just a casual remark that an F-rank talent can do this. Do you understand?”

There was a smattering of applause from the audience. Fang Xuan didn’t think much of it. At this moment, a simple-looking mushroom-headed young man stuck close to him with a smile on his face.

“Hehe, Student Fang Xuan, since you killed that poisonous bug, did you bring out all the materials on its body?”

“Yeah, but not much.”

After a few negotiations, Fang Xuan found out that this person was from an aristocratic family of alchemists, and he himself was a low-level alchemist.

Alchemists were divided into nine grades. They could make medicinal pills with various functions and effects. Almost all high-level alchemists were resources that all the major families in the continent were fighting for.

Ten cultivators might not even produce an alchemist, and it might be difficult to find even a mid-grade alchemist among hundreds of alchemists. Therefore, alchemists became an extremely rare profession.

“If you don’t need the poisonous skin on the Thousand-legged Worm King, I wonder if you can sell it to me? Even if this poisonous skin is put on the auction market, it will be difficult to sell for a high price. However, it is a material that we alchemists can’t ask for more.”
