Chapter 60 The Ceremony of New Students
"Hey bro, what are you having for dinner tonight? My treat!"

Huangfu Xuanjue moved closer to Xu Mo, grinning, his previous arrogant demeanor completely gone.

Xu Mo couldn't help but find it funny to see him like this. Such a contrast!

Xu Mo couldn't stand this guy constantly bothering him any longer, so he stopped and looked at Huangfu Xuanjue: "What do you want?"

Huangfu Xuanjue chuckled: "Brother, I really want to be your friend. You're capable, but not arrogant. You're just my type!"

In reality, Huangfu Xuanjue saw that he couldn't defeat Xu Mo, and his beast taming was also countered by Xu Mo. In addition, since first-year students at the Holy City Academy had to live on campus, he thought that it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. That's why he decided to "set aside past grievances" and become "friends" with Xu Mo.

"Haha, you're quite an interesting person. Actually, we didn't have any real grudge against each other."

Xu Mo shrugged. Although Huangfu Xuanjue was quite arrogant, he had never done anything excessive or said anything excessive. He was just a pampered rich second-generation.

"Haha, then tell me what you want to eat tonight, it's on me!"

Huangfu Xuanjue patted his chest.

"Whatever, I'm not that particular about food."

"Hey bro, that's because you've never tasted top-quality ingredients. Let me show you something new today."

Huangfu Xuanjue took Xu Mo to a restaurant owned by their Huangfu family.

Well, for the first time, Xu Mo understood why people have a desire for food.

In the past, he would occasionally dine out when he was feeling peckish, which was nothing compared to a restaurant like this.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned to their dormitory and became acquainted.

"Hey bro, how was the food today? Did you like it?"

Huangfu Xuanjue looked at Xu Mo with a smile.

Xu Mo nodded sheepishly, taking back his earlier statement that he "had little appetite."

Seeing that Xu Mo had finished eating, Huangfu Xuanjue felt embarrassed and put his arm around Xu Mo, whispering, "Brother, the freshman ceremony is coming soon, do you have any thoughts?"

"Freshman Ceremony? What's that? The opening ceremony?"

Xu Mo was completely confused.

Huangfu Xuanjue chuckled: "Brother, you don't understand, do you? The annual freshman ceremony at Holy City Academy is similar to a battle royale game. That is to say, we freshmen need to survive as long as possible in a certain area, and the senior students from the previous year are responsible for hunting us down."

"Then why can't we turn the tables and hunt them down?"

A brilliant idea popped into Xu Mo's head.

Huangfu Xuanjue looked at Xu Mo with admiration, as if to say, "He truly is the man I admire."

"Hehe, great minds think alike. I asked the same question before. It just so happens that I have a cousin who is a year older than me, and I had a friendly match with him a while ago."

"How is the result?"

Xu Mo was somewhat impatient; this kind of information was very rare.

"I withstood two blows."

Huangfu Xuanjue said truthfully.

"what!"

Xu Mo was extremely shocked. He knew that if Jian Yi hadn't been able to restrain Zhen Hai, he might not have been a match for Huangfu Xuanjue.

Does that mean he can only withstand two moves from his cousin at most?

"Brother, I know you must have been the most talked-about genius in high school, but look at this Holy City Academy, isn't everyone here a genius?"

Hearing Huangfu Xuanjue's words, Xu Mo scratched his head sheepishly: "Hehe, actually I wasn't a genius in middle school. I almost didn't become a beast tamer back then."

Huangfu Xuanjue gave him a "I don't believe you" look: "Brother, don't be modest. If you weren't one of the top students in a middle school, you wouldn't have had the chance to come to the Holy City Academy. But you're a genius, and those senior students from the previous year were geniuses too! So we're no match for them at all!" Xu Mo was also secretly pondering. He had fought Feng Yan before, and indeed, if she was serious, he couldn't withstand a single move. He wondered what Feng Yan's strength was.

"Hey, I do know a senior student, but I don't know what level her skills are?"

Xu Mo asked questions humbly.

Huangfu Xuanjue looked quite interested; he was also curious about which senior student Xu Mo knew so soon after arriving.
"Who is it? Tell me."

"Feng Yan."

Upon hearing Xu Mo's words, Huangfu Xuanjue's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Are you sure the senior you know is named Feng Yan?"

"Hmm, is there a problem?"

"Describe what she looks like to me."

Huangfu Xuanjue still didn't believe it.

"She's quite good-looking, has a great figure, and her tamed beast is a little red bird."

At first, Huangfu Xuanjue thought Xu Mo was bragging or that he had been deceived.

But when he heard the words "Little Red Bird," he knew that Xu Mo was referring to that person.

"Hehe, brother, you're really something. But since you know her, you can ask her to go easy on you."

Xu Mo frowned; he hadn't expected Huangfu Qianjue to say that.

Is she very capable?

Xu Mo asked, puzzled.

"That's incredibly impressive. Her strength was already top-tier, but for some reason in the first half of the year, her little red bird suddenly evolved to the epic level, and her strength increased by leaps and bounds afterward. Now, she can be considered the number one in the previous generation."

"so smart?"

Xu Mo was somewhat incredulous, never expecting that Sister Feng Yan, who had fought alongside him before, would be so formidable.

"Of course, there are very few epic-quality tamed beasts in the entire Holy City Academy. Most high-quality tamed beasts evolve after they level up, so before the fifth tier, epic-quality is already the ceiling."

Xu Mo nodded, but then he thought of Wu Wang. If Feng Yan and he were to compare, who would be more powerful?

"How long can you hold your own against Feng Yan? Your Xuanming Turtle attribute should be able to counter her."

Xu Mo's eyes lit up as he considered the issue of elemental counteraction.

"You really think highly of me. My cousin could only last three moves against Senior Feng Yan, but he said that if Senior Feng Yan were serious, he wouldn't even last one move."

When Feng Yan was mentioned, Huangfu Xuanjue deflated like a punctured balloon.

"This……"

Xu Mo was speechless. What should he do if someone was this strong?
"So now you understand why they're the ones hunting us down, right?"

"I understand. But since there's such an activity, are there any rewards or punishments?"

When the topic of rewards and punishments came up, Huangfu Xuanjue's eyes lit up again: "So, you should ask Senior Feng Yan to let us off the hook, and maybe the two of us can win the championship."

"why?"

"Hey, battle royale is all about who survives the longest. Even if you do nothing, you're still the champion as long as you die last. And the champion's reward is Yuan Pearls!"
