113 It’s Shameful to Escape, but It Works!

Hearing Wang Xiao’s words, Zhou Xiruo was slightly stunned, but she immediately understood what he meant.

The strength that every lord could achieve in the end was determined by many factors.

Other than talent and soldiers, everyone’s experience, knowledge, luck, and even thinking habits would cause different developments.

Even for lords with the same talent, there were many who were lucky and rose rapidly.

And this was only a “normal accident”. Other than that, there were also “abnormal accidents”—for example, Wang Xiao.

The beast tamer lord was publicly acknowledged as a trash talent on the entire Blue Planet. However, after the battle against the Crimson Star, who still dared to say that the beast tamer lord was a trash talent?

Therefore, no matter how magical this trial ground was, the results could only be used as a reference.

However, the Yuheng Academy treated this result as a standard and even used it to judge students. It really made Zhou Xiruo feel angry and amused.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Xiruo sighed with mixed emotions. “I originally thought that there must be something extraordinary about Yuheng Academy since it was on par with Kaiyang… I didn’t expect it to actually be so stupid!”

“You can’t say that. After all, their academy ranking is still very telling.”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he strode out of the door and turned around to give Zhou Xiruo an encouraging look. “Since you know what’s going on, you can take the test here. In any case, it’s only a simulation development. There shouldn’t be any danger.”

“Myself?”

Zhou Xiruo looked puzzled when she heard this. “But if you don’t participate in the assessment, it’s meaningless even if I pass!”

“Says who?”

Wang Xiao chuckled and glanced at Yi Han and Xu Junrou. “What do you think is the probability of passing the assessment with the talent of an alchemist?”

Zhou Xiruo was slightly stunned before understanding what Wang Xiao meant.

When Xu Junrou first met him, she had said that the reason why she did not need to attend class was completely because of Yi Han. Therefore, as long as Zhou Xi could pass the assessment, she might be able to let Wang Xiao benefit from her.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiruo no longer hesitated. She nodded at Wang Xiao with a firm gaze and reached out to close the door.

Wang Xiao silently cheered at the door and walked towards Yi Han and Xu Junrou.

Seeing Wang Xiao come out alone, Yi Han could not help but reveal a puzzled expression. “Idol, why did you come out alone?”

“He said that the [Beast Tamer Lord] is not an advanced talent and I’m not qualified to participate in the assessment.”

Wang Xiao shrugged and casually replied. He did not seem to care. After all, he knew his strength.

However, Yi Han clearly did not expect this answer and did not know what to say.

Fortunately, Xu Junrou reacted quickly and immediately changed the topic. “Actually, it’s fine if you don’t participate. Zhou Xiruo will definitely pass. When the time comes, she can apply to the academy head for a companion. You can still participate in the trip.”

“We think so too.”

Wang Xiao nodded and then looked at Yi Han. “By the way, how’s your [Lava Ripper]? After obtaining the [Sacred Beast Heart], you should be able to break through, right?”

At the mention of the [Lava Ripper], Yi Han immediately perked up and said excitedly, “I was about to tell you about this!”

“I failed the first time I broke through. Fortunately, you sold me nine [Sacred Beast Hearts] at that time. Later, I bought two more in the trading market and succeeded the second time!”

“The second time?”

Wang Xiao frowned. “Didn’t they say that the [Sacred Beast Heart] can forcefully increase the success rate of breaking through to 100%? Why did it fail again?”

Yi Han shook his head in confusion. “I don’t know either. Perhaps the legend is wrong?”

“Perhaps…”

Wang Xiao smiled awkwardly. He no longer had any expectations for the [Sacred Beast Heart].

This was because Yi Han’s [Lava Ripper] had to be upgraded from silver level two to gold. The normal success rate at this stage was about 70%.

On the other hand, Yi Han only succeeded after breaking through twice. Didn’t this mean that the so-called [Sacred Beast Heart] was not effective at all?

However, even if Wang Xiao had decided on this, he did not plan to remind Yi Han. After all, he had sold the other party nine [Sacred Beast Hearts] at the price of “10,000 star coins per piece”.

If Yi Han discovered that this thing was useless and reacted to settle the score with him, Wang Xiao would definitely not return the money. However, if he did not, it would affect the relationship between the two of them. Therefore, the best way was to not mention this matter.

It was shameful to escape, but it worked!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and changed the topic. “By the way, you seem to like collecting legends. Where did you hear that?”

“It’s our academy’s information library.”

As Yi Han spoke, he pointed back. Wang Xiao looked in the direction and discovered that it was a building beside the teaching building. It was almost the same height as the teaching building, but the area was more than twice as large.

When Wang Xiao saw it previously, he thought that it was a training ground or something. He did not expect it to be an information library.

“It looks like there should be a lot of information inside, right?”

Wang Xiao stroked his chin. “Is it convenient for you to bring me to take a look?”

“Of course!”

XYi Han nodded without thinking and prepared to lead the way for Wang Xiao.

“Wait a minute!”

Xu Junrou grabbed Yi Han. “If Zhou Xiruo passes the assessment later, she still has to go through the procedures to apply for travel. I’m not familiar with that process, so it’s better for me to bring Wang Xiao to the information library.”

Yi Han was stunned when he heard this. “Didn’t you bring me to do the procedures back then?”

“If I tell you to go, go! Stop talking nonsense!”

Xu Junrou glared at him. Yi Han did not dare to say anything at that moment. He lowered his head and muttered softly, “I was just asking. Why are you so mean…”

Wang Xiao looked at this pair of clowns with a faint smile and immediately felt a little helpless.

He was observant and could naturally tell that Xu Junrou was afraid that he would take the opportunity to ask about something, so she did not want Yi Han to be alone with him.

However, Xu Junrou was thinking too much this time. Wang Xiao only wanted to go to the information library and find out if there was any information about the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon].

In fact, Wang Xiao no longer cared about the origins of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]. However, Andu’s words that night had aroused the doubts in his heart.

Especially after Andu was arrested, Andu said that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] would kill Wang Xiao.

Although he could not rule out the possibility that Andu wanted to shake his mentality, Andu had already been locked by the [Prisoner Shackles] at that time. There seemed to be no need for Andu to do such a thing.

Moreover, even if Andu was really bluffing, Wang Xiao had to figure it out now. Otherwise, this knot would remain in his heart.

Losing the trust of one’s soldier was a huge taboo for any lord!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao’s mood became a little heavy. He was not in the mood to worry about Xu Junrou’s guard against him. After taking one last look at the [Trial Proving Ground], he waved his hand and gestured for Xu Junrou to quickly lead the way.
