Gaining a tiny bit of weight every day, my weight is a billion tons.

The sky was completely dark.

The tent was taken from those three unfortunate assassins.

It's windproof and sandproof, but a bit small.

Su Ming cleaned it thoroughly.

He tossed the last thin blanket to Shen Qingci.

He sat down cross-legged against the tent entrance.

On the open ground not far away,

The rhubarb's blood-red cocoon stood quietly.

The dark red and gold patterns on the surface flicker.

It beats rhythmically, like a heartbeat.

We're heading back tomorrow.

If this bastard hasn't hatched by tomorrow night...

We can only leave it here to fend for itself.

He wasn't too worried.

This guy is just like him, both tough and cheap.

After Shen Qingci finished treating the wound on her arm,

He retrieved two energy recovery potions from his spatial bracelet.

He tossed one to Su Ming.

Su Ming caught it and glanced at the label.

Five thousand federal dollars.

"You're giving away this medicine like it's free."

"I didn't want your money in the first place."

Shen Qingci glanced at him.

He unscrewed his own bottle and took a sip.

She leaned against the inner wall of the tent.

Her long, slender legs were curled up under the thin blanket.

His gaze fell on the wound on the back of his hand.

This experience in the Abyss

It was even more exciting than all the actual combat she had done in the past year combined.

Her energy source was almost depleted.

The lingering effects of the third-sequence stupa bone marrow are still ongoing.

The fingertips occasionally revealed a faint, bone-white sheen.

She opened the leaderboard on the terminal.

Looking at his unbelievable points.

7100 points!

In just one day, I went from 3420 to 7100!

All of this seems so unreal.

Danger lurked everywhere, yet it seemed...

It was a close call, but no real danger.

Shen Qingci looked at the figure in the wrinkled school uniform at the tent entrance.

I was a little dazed for a moment.

Su Ming.

That seemingly ordinary body

Just a few hours ago, he was riding on the back of a near-fourth-tier wolf king.

They brutally killed a near-fourth-tier source beast.

His prized trump card, the [Floating Bone Cage],

In front of him,

It seems to be just a skill for clearing out mobs.

Her points in a year are less than his points in a single day.

What kind of monster are you?

unconsciously,

Shen Qingci has become extremely curious about him!

"Your college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow, right?"

Shen Qingci suddenly spoke.

Su Ming snapped out of his reverie and nodded: "Yeah, the day after tomorrow."

"and you……"

Shen Qingci hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

Have you decided which university to apply to?

"I haven't decided yet, I'll see how it goes."

Su Ming shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

"I'll apply to whichever school has the prettiest admissions officer or the prettiest girl in the school."

Shen Qingci almost choked on her breath.

Are you going to school or to go on a blind date?

Besides, with your abilities, do you even need to look at scores?

You can't just pick any university in the entire federation?

He's putting on airs again!

Amused by Su Ming,

Her nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed.

She raised her chin slightly.

With a hint of pride and smugness.

"Don't call me Miss Shen anymore."

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

"And don't call me 'long legs' either."

"That won't do. I've never been good at lying since I was a child."

You want me to lie and say you're short? I can't do that.

Shen Qingci's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at him.

Ultimately, they didn't dwell on the term.

You can call me senior.

"I got first place in both the written and practical exams in last year's college entrance examination."

Should I call her "senior"?

Su Ming's eyes lit up.

Hi sis!

He likes his older sister and his sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law are also nice.

"Okay, senior."

He readily agreed and shouted out.

It sounds so natural and catchy.

Shen Qingci nodded in satisfaction.

I felt like I had finally gotten my revenge on this guy.

Su Ming moved closer to her as a result.

His face was full of curiosity.

"Then, senior, you must know a lot of inside information that ordinary people don't know, right?"

Tell me about it, it would be good for this inexperienced junior to understand.

There's a direction to strive for.

Shen Qingci was very pleased with being called "senior sister".

She has always been aloof and doesn't have many close girlfriends.

Not to mention being treated as a senior and asked for advice.

This feeling is quite novel.

She thought for a moment and then said, "The best Awakened Universities in the Federation all originated from the military."

Collectively known as the four major military academies, each corresponding to one of the four major theater commands.

"In addition, there are Federal Central University and Oriental Pearl University."

It is also known as the Imperial Capital University and the Magic City University.

"Let me tell you about the four major military academies first."

"First is the North, Xuanjia Academy."

"Black Armor?" Su Ming pondered the word.

"Yes, as long as the Xuanjia armor remains intact, the Northern Frontier will not perish."

A hint of respect flashed in Shen Qingci's eyes.

"Xuanjia Academy is the Federation's strongest shield."

The main focus is on the frontal battlefield and holding the defensive line.

The ace is the Iron Wall system.

Specializes in defensive enhancement talents.

Graduates are mostly assigned to the Northern Border Defense Corps.

There's also a cold-weather combat command system over there.

Admissions are biased towards talents with ice and earth elements.

She glanced at Su Ming.

Your talent lies in the defensive branch of the enhancement tree.

Looking only at the surface data,

Xuanjia Academy is indeed a good fit for you.

Defense? Defense is the last thing I need right now.

But Xuanjia Academy sounds like a bunch of heavily armored idiots.

It doesn't quite match my own development path.

I'm a well-rounded warrior!

Suddenly, Shen Qingci recalled the scene of Su Ming killing the Wolf King with a hammer.

Addendum:

"Emmm... there's something wrong with this school."

Their teaching system is designed around the concept of 'taking damage and countering'.

"You need to be careful; if you go, you might get yelled at by the instructors every day..."

Su Ming thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.

He was like this even when playing video games in his past life.

He talks about playing with tanks but acts like a warmonger.

The battle starts with a 1v5 situation.

Every time, my teammates insult my entire family.

This is even more unacceptable.

"I heard there's a formidable guy in the third year of Xuanjia Academy named Xiao Zhan."

His S-rank invincible golden body talent has consistently placed him at the top of the academy's combat power rankings.

It is recognized by the Federation as the top defense among the younger generation.

Shen Qingci added.

Su Ming pursed his lips.

the first?

I can go up against him right now!

Let's see who the real dad is!

"What level is he at?"

"He's at the peak of the third tier, but it's widely acknowledged within the community that his combat ability is already incredibly close to that of the fourth tier."

It was still just a plate of food, and Su Ming felt there was no need to remember this person's name.

"What about Dongfang Lingyun Academy?"

Shen Qingci shook her head. "This is the least suitable for you."

"Thunderous might, dominating the heavens."

Lingyun's main attacks are air suppression and rapid raids.

The ace is the air raider.

The admissions department prefers special departments related to wind, lightning, and flight.

Their admission standards are the most stringent.

The requirements for reaction speed are simply outrageous.

She looked at his feet, the feet that had crushed everything.

"You're having a hard time even stepping on the ground today, so forget about going to heaven."

Su Ming's lips twitched.

These words are very hurtful and extremely insulting.

But what they said was the truth.

Its current quality engine is just a linear accelerator.

Without braking or steering, I ended up at Lingyun Academy.

I'm afraid he'll have to crash his head through the school building during the very first class.

Wait, right!

He suddenly remembered that he could exchange the third tier for the [Inertial Drift] skill!

The price of that thing is...

"The Western academy is called Shadow Academy. Its motto is a bit cheesy: 'Lone Wolf Travels a Thousand Miles, Never to Die!'"

Shen Qingci also started complaining.

"Western Shadow Academy, no need for further explanation."

Shen Qingci didn't mince words, summarizing it in a single sentence.

"You went on a stealth assassination mission, and you were exposed on your very first day."

The Earthquake Bureau is more accurate at locking onto you than they are at locking onto the Source Beasts.

Su Ming did not refute.

In the past, his ten-ton body would shake wherever he went.

Without relying on quality and internal composure, it is just a human body seismometer.

Stealth my foot! I just went in.

The earthquake warning sounded first at the enemy base.

But now, he has amazing skills!

Those long legs probably don't know that I can now exert force normally!

Jie Jie Jie...

Su Ming smacked his lips.

In the blink of an eye, three options have been eliminated.

"And what about the Southern United Martial Arts Academy, where you are?"

When her school was mentioned, Shen Qingci became noticeably more talkative.

"Our school's full name is 'Southern Theater Command Joint Martial Arts Academy'."

The most complex of the four federal military academies in terms of organizational structure.

"The core of the school lies in the word 'unity'."

"How do we form an alliance?"

"First, it's a three-way alliance between the military, the conglomerates, and the Hunter Association."

Shen Qingci explained:

"The military region provides facilities, staffing, and access to military missions;"

The Federal Military-Industrial Complex consists of large conglomerates that provide money and equipment.

The Hunters Association provides frontline combat instructors and information on source beasts.

My dad's scrap yard was actually an outsourced unit of a military-industrial complex.

Su Ming suddenly realized.

Isn't this just the mixed ownership system from the previous life?

State-owned enterprises provide the licenses, private enterprises provide the funds, and industry associations provide the connections.

No wonder my father-in-law, a scrap metal yard owner, has such great abilities.

"Secondly, it is the alliance of the four war zones."

Shen Qingci continued,

"Although we are called Southern Martial Arts Academy, we have exchange student slots every year."

You can go north to learn cold-weather warfare, or go west to learn stealth tracking.

The four major military academies also hold a "Four-Academy Grand Competition" every year.

They are vying for the honor of being the strongest military academy.

"So, graduates of this school aren't limited to working in the south?"

"Yes. They could be assigned to any war zone in the entire Federation."

Su Ming slowly processed this information.

There's a saying about job hunting from a past life: choosing the right platform is more important than choosing the right position.

A large platform means more choices and easier job switching.

After all, you have to talk to someone when looking for a job!

The Southern United Martial Arts Academy seems to be that "big platform".

"Finally, and most importantly, is the integration of retired and active personnel."

"Seventy percent of the instructors at our school are experienced and have extensive networks."

It can teach you life-saving skills that you'll never learn from textbooks.

Students who perform well

They could even directly infiltrate major military industrial enterprises or the Hunter Association.

Su Ming listened intently.

This Southern United Martial Arts Academy,

It sounds like a mini-society.

The military, business, and civilian sectors are intertwined.

The relationships are complex, but the resources are truly abundant.

What about the top-tier majors?

"The Beast Hunting Command System has a 70% practical assessment component."

Your melee combat ability is overwhelmingly superior among those of the same rank.

This department is practically tailor-made for you.

Shen Qingci looked at him with a meaningful gaze.

"Senior, you're putting so much effort into promoting your school to me!"

Do you want me to be your junior?

Shen Qingci's face flushed red instantly.

In an instant, she transformed from a knowledgeable senior student back into the Valkyrie who gets easily angered when teased.

"Who...who asked you to be their junior! I was just...just stating the facts!"

She stiffened her neck and avoided eye contact.

"Whether you go or not is none of my business!"

"Oh..." Su Ming deliberately dragged out the tone.

"Looks like I was overthinking it. Sigh, I was just thinking..."

If I had a pretty senior to protect me, it would be so much better when I went out on missions in the future.

"No need to bring a tent, just borrow one from the senior student."

Shen Qingci glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed:

"You...you scoundrel! Who wants to sleep in the same tent as you!"

"Get out...!"

Just then.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound.

It came from the center of the tent.

It interrupted their argument.

The two of them turned to look at the same time.

A crack burst open from the top of the cocoon.

Dark red flames shot into the sky.

The cracks spread throughout the entire cocoon.

Fragments shot out in all directions.

An aura far more explosive and intense than that of the Crimson Mane Wind Blade Wolf King

It burst forth with a roar from the crack!

Su Ming stood up.

His quality was understated and he kept it running.

But the ground beneath their feet was still shaken and cracked by this aura.

The blood cocoon shattered completely.

The moment the flames faded,

Su Ming's pupils contracted sharply.

Those standing there,

It was no longer the same Big Yellow it used to be.

It has already completed its evolution!
