Chapter 108 The Divine Lord Has Already Decided to Be the Top Scorer in the College Entrance Examination! Huh? Me?
"Wow~"

The soft, soothing sound of pages turning filled the air as Ye Mingqiu carefully read "Detailed Explanation and Application of Appraisal Techniques." The girl leaning beside him did not diminish his learning efficiency.

Because she just leaned against it, without moving or speaking, she got used to it over time.

Moreover, Tang Ruobing had a pleasant scent, which seemed to be a perfume that could enhance learning efficiency and concentration, allowing people to focus on their studies. He liked that scent very much; it was the fragrance of knowledge.

Without her, Ye Mingqiu actually felt a little out of place when reading and studying, since that's how he'd spent the past month. As the saying goes, it takes twenty-one days to form a habit, and he'd already made it.

He really liked this harmonious relationship, which made his studies more comfortable.

[Note: The Eye of Omargon has rewarded you with pure soul energy, increasing your soul strength by 2.8]

Uh?
Ye Mingqiu looked at the prompt with confusion, then checked his storage space, looked around at the surrounding environment, and carefully observed Tang Ruobing's sleeping face. Hmm, she's really beautiful.

No abnormalities, no changes

Where does that soul energy come from?

He really didn't want to understand.

Although I "don't know what happened," I feel like I've become stronger again.

"Ding ding dong~ ding ding dong~"

The communicator rang, and Tang Ruobing sighed as she took it out, looked at her older brother who had called her, and slightly pouted.

She had just finished exploring the world and was in a bad mental state. She was very tired and exhausted and wanted to rest comfortably for a while. So she didn't read the spirit world message her brother sent her earlier, since that guy usually sent a lot of useless messages.

"This is?"

"My brother called me."

"Do I need to avoid it?"

"Need not."

Tang Ruobing answered the phone immediately, her eyes clearly showing some anger. She was really tired and wanted to rest for a while.

Before she could speak, a voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was very urgent. He said, "Little sister, little sister, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Calm down, speak properly."

Tang Ruobing sighed again; she really disliked her brother's overly dramatic personality.

For some reason, even though he is more composed when exploring the spirit world and when he is outside, he is unusually straightforward and impulsive when dealing with his own family.

"Calm down? Do you know what? This year's college entrance exam has a super powerful dad! If nothing unexpected happens, he'll definitely be the top scorer!"

"what?"

Tang Ruobing was startled. If it was such crucial information, she really had to pay attention. The college entrance examination was a major event in her life, and she would keep an eye on any potential top performers who might emerge from it.

She turned to look at Ye Mingqiu and said, "This is very important information. I'll put it on speakerphone, and you should listen carefully too. Don't take it lightly."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded seriously. Next, he would also have to take the college entrance examination with Tang Ruobing, and getting good results in the college entrance examination was very important.

"Tell me in detail."

Tang Ruobing said.

"I discovered an incredibly powerful player. He didn't accept any quests while exploring the world; he just plunged headlong into hordes of monsters and killed them for three days and three nights! He killed tens of thousands of boss-level BOSSes; their corpses piled up like mountains!"

"Is it a low-level monster?"

Tang Ruobing asked.

"No, they are leaders of the same rank."

"So strong!"

Tang Ruobing's pupils trembled.

She would be shocked if someone could kill thousands of leaders of lower rank than herself, but she wouldn't lose her composure too much. However, killing thousands of leaders of the same rank was a bit outrageous.

It's important to understand that bosses of the same level are not easy to find. Bosses are stronger than lord-level professionals, and their base attributes are even close to those of weaker hero-level professionals. Even hero-level professionals would find it difficult to kill a large number of bosses of the same level.

He's ridiculously strong!

Tang Ruobing turned to look at Ye Mingqiu and said with utmost seriousness, "You see, there are still many hidden strong people in this world. Although you are very strong, never let your guard down. No one knows what kind of monster might suddenly emerge from some hidden corner in the future, understand?"

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded seriously, but something felt off, though he was too embarrassed to say it.

“I admit he is very strong, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s locked in as the top pick,” Tang Ruobing questioned.

"You think this is the end? This is just the beginning!"

"what?"

"He not only killed tens of thousands of lords, but also took down seven or eight king-level bosses! And they were all king-level bosses of the same rank! According to his own account, one of the peak king-level bosses tried to ambush him, but he killed him with a single punch!"

Are you sure you're not spreading rumors?

Tang Ruobing's expression changed. Even an enhanced hero couldn't possibly take down seven or eight monarchs, so how could a peak monarch-level expert be killed with a single punch? Even legendary-level classes aren't that strong, are they?
"No, absolutely not. At that time, one of our people accepted the exclusive mission of the Son of the World. The BOSS at the peak of the Monarch level was the target of the final part of the mission. After he finished speaking, the mission was completed. He did kill the BOSS at the peak of the Monarch level. The other four people did not participate."

"."

Tang Ruobing's expression gradually became serious. Taking down a peak-level King-level expert in a one-on-one fight, even if it wasn't an instant kill, was still a very impressive achievement.

Generally speaking, the king-level powerhouses that psionicists can kill are weak kings, rarely standard kings. As for strong kings and peak kings, basically no one can defeat them.

Weak, Standard, Strong, and Peak are the classifications psionicists use for bosses of the same level.

"Let me tell you, the peak-level King BOSS he killed was no ordinary person. He was a former World's Chosen One. At his peak, he even had the strength of a peak Overlord. He was the strongest World's Chosen One in history."

"In the darkest hour of that world, the remains of an ancient god gave birth to three terrifying ancient calamities, all of which were overlord-level. Kalidos stepped forward, killed all the overlord-level ancient calamities, and challenged the source of the calamity alone."

"Unfortunately, he failed. He was corrupted by the power of the ancient god and went mad. His strength was greatly reduced, and he degenerated to the peak of the king, becoming the final BOSS of the World's Child mission. Alas, he was quite a figure back then."

"."

Tang Ruobing fell silent. Killing a former peak overlord had truly elevated the prestige of this achievement. At this moment, her expression began to turn serious.

Meanwhile, Ye Mingqiu scratched his head. He really didn't know that the peak-level King he had killed with one punch had so many backstories. He thought it was just a nameless roadside monster.

He wasn't quite sure before, but now he's pretty sure that the person the other person was talking about is himself.

The next moment, Tang Ruobing turned her head and said with utmost solemnity, "Ye Mingqiu, don't be afraid. Even if he can kill a peak King-level expert, I will do my best to restrain him. Trust me."

"Yes, I trust you too much."

Ye Mingqiu nodded deeply.

"Do you think this is the end?"

Suddenly, another sound came from the other side.

"besides?"

Tang Ruobing's eyelids twitched wildly.

"Ha! If it were just something like that, do you think I'd be in such a hurry to call you?" "You would."

"Don't interrupt!"

The voice on the other end became embarrassed and annoyed, and continued, "Not only that, he also went alone, without any preparation, directly into the high-risk area, fought the final BOSS, and successfully killed the remnants of an ancient god who was at the peak of the Overlord level, and possibly even more!"

"what?!"

Tang Ruobing couldn't help but exclaim. A psionicist, without any preparation, single-handedly killed the remains of an ancient god at the peak of the overlord realm. Is this some kind of myth?
She quickly calmed down and asked with utmost seriousness, "Brother, are you sure you're not kidding me? Are you sure such a person exists? Are you sure you're not dreaming in your sleep?"

"I'm absolutely certain that one of my teammates is a strong contender to win the college entrance exam!"

"Who?"

"Tian Qing, Level 9 Apocalypse Knight."

"It turned out to be her."

Tang Ruobing frowned and murmured, "Then how did you know that guy was a candidate in the same year as me? How can you be sure he hasn't already gone to university?"

"He added Tianqing as a friend and told her that he was taking the college entrance exam this year. If it weren't for my good relationship with her, I definitely wouldn't have known such crucial information. Don't spread it around, it would be bad if that big shot found out."

"."

Tang Ruobing's expression grew increasingly grim. If what her brother said was true, and there really was such a monster in the next college entrance examination who could single-handedly kill the top-level powerhouse of the same grade, then she would have absolutely no hope of gaining strength.

There's absolutely no chance!

She turned to look at Ye Mingqiu, a look of self-reproach on her face, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't think I can control him anymore. The upcoming college entrance exam will probably be very difficult. I'm just too weak."

"It's okay, you've already done a great job. I believe you'll be able to beat him in the future."

Ye Mingqiu comforted her.

"Ah."

Tang Ruobing responded softly, feeling a warmth in her heart. Then she asked her brother on the other end of the phone, "Brother, what's that person's code name? I'll write it down."

"Divine Lord".

"Oh, what's so mysterious about it?"

"My Lord."

"."

Tang Ruobing froze, falling into a deafening silence.

She stiffly turned her head to look at Ye Mingqiu beside her, and asked in a trembling voice, "Hey, the god my brother was talking about, could it be... you?"

"Hey?"

Ye Mingqiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"."

Tang Ruobing remained silent, her heart filled with unease as she recalled what she had said to Ye Mingqiu.

She then decisively hung up the phone, took out her staff from her storage space, and shouted with a flushed face, "Today I'll show you what true restraint is!"

"Hey! Don't hit me! I didn't mean to!"

"I do not care!"

After playing around for a while, Tang Ruobing squatted alone on the sofa, curled up into a small ball, hugged her legs with her arms, and glared angrily at the ground not far in front of her.

"Are you still angry?"

Ye Mingqiu leaned against her and gently poked her tender waist with his finger, making her shudder. She then glared at him fiercely, as if she might bite him at any moment.

"Hmph! You're so powerful, you probably don't need anything from me, especially since you already have overlord-level equipment," Tang Ruobing said in a low voice.

What bothered her most wasn't that Ye Mingqiu was hiding the truth, but rather that he might have been hiding it to protect her feelings. She had always thought she was the one helping, but in reality, she had been the one being taken care of, and this contrast was hard for her to accept.

"No, I wasn't this capable before; it was all thanks to your investment."

"really?"

“At first, I was really poor, so poor that I couldn’t even afford potions to improve my attributes. You gave me money, my first start-up capital, which allowed me to become a psionicist in the shortest amount of time.”

"Later, I successfully passed the trial, but I did not enter the item in advance. It was you who gave me Blood Soul Revenge, allowing me to enter the Spirit Realm as quickly as possible and gain a huge boost again."

"Later on, without your accessories, I probably wouldn't have been able to dominate the world of Emergency Recruitment. Every bit of help you gave me was crucial, really, thank you so much."

Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

"Oh."

Tang Ruobing seemed to be in a better mood. She then sat up and, as usual, picked up her books to study. She felt that her knowledge and abilities were no longer sufficient and that she had to study even harder.

The next moment, Ye Mingqiu made a move, instantly pulling her back and closing the book.

"Eh?"

Tang Ruobing looked at him with a puzzled expression, her gaze seeming to say: Why are you stopping me from studying?
Ye Mingqiu replied, "You once told me that after completing a world exploration, one's mental state would decline, and one's efficiency in both studying and doing things would decrease significantly. One must first relax one's mind before returning to a normal life."

"what?"

Tang Ruobing was speechless. She had indeed said those words before, but she felt that her strength was not enough and she couldn't afford to waste time.

"Rest, rest well before studying again."

"Oh."

Tang Ruobing lay down with a pitiful expression, closed her eyes, and began to rest.

On the other side, Ye Mingqiu read a book while showing a bright smile.

Great! I've successfully stopped Tang Ruobing from competing with me. This means I'll have more time to study than her, and my efficiency in improving my skills will be much higher!

Hmph, you think you can mess with me?
impossible!
Thus, the scene between the two returned to its original state: one rested, while the other focused on studying "The Principles and Applications of Appraisal Techniques." He still had many textbooks to study; this was a necessary step on the path to becoming a sorcerer.
