Chapter 17: Elder An’s Shock

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With a flash of light, Fang Xuan returned to the main city of Cloud. After arriving at the guild, he sat down and threw the token to the golden-framed glasses opposite him.

“Oh my, Mr. Fang, you’re here. I heard that you accepted a five-star fire mission. I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to come out.”

The corners of Fang Xuan’s eyes twitched. How could he say something like that?

As he spoke, he placed his palm on the token and his face froze on the spot.

“This, this, this, this, he killed 15 fire element mosquitoes in a minute and a half and killed the Flame Commander in a minute??”

After saying that, he hurriedly covered his mouth. Fortunately, there were not many people in the guild today, so no one paid attention to his words.

Then, he quickly pulled Fang Xuan to the side.

“Young Mr. Fang, your speed has already broken the record of everyone in the past hundred years. I have no choice but to register your information. I can tell that you’re a low-key person. You can choose to remain anonymous, but soon, everyone in the Cloud Academy will know that a hidden genius has appeared in their academy.”

Elder An’s expression was very serious, and Fang Xuan could not help but be affected. He nodded solemnly. “Then let’s be anonymous.”

Soon, Fang Xuan left the guild with the token. According to Elder An, all the rewards were transferred to the golden card he had given Fang Xuan.

At this moment, in a cold secret room inside the guild.

“Shadow Guard.”

The candlelight flickered. There was nothing beside Elder An, but there was a shadow on the ground.

“Immediately go and check all the information on that Rank One Beast Tamer Fang Xuan who came today.”

“Yes.”

The shadow disappeared and everything returned to normal.

Fang Xuan did not know what happened after that. When he returned to the academy, he immediately saw the notice pasted on the door.

Congratulations to the anonymous member of this academy for killing the Flame Commander in a minute to break the historical record and the hundred-year record.

Three long black lines streaked across his forehead. Is there a need to…

Not only that, but everywhere he went, especially the new students, they were discussing who this mysterious person was.

He didn’t know if Zhao Xiang would expose herself. Although he didn’t reveal his name, his appearance and the familiars he used were still somewhat unique.

At the thought of this, he thought of the fragrant kiss a few hours ago and his heart could not help but beat faster.

When they returned to the dormitory, the full moon was already high in the sky. Perhaps it was because they were too tired from traveling during the day, so at night, they discussed with Lan Yu who had broken the Flame Commander’s record and fell asleep unknowingly.

After a good night’s sleep, it was soon the next day. Fortunately, it was a weekend and no one disturbed him until noon.

When Fang Xuanyi woke up, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

As expected, leveling up was getting harder and harder. He had killed the Thousand-legged Worm King in the Misty Forest and directly jumped to the maximum level of the zero-circle. However, the Flame Commander he killed this time was even stronger than the previous Thousand-legged Worm King, but it had only increased by ten levels, and its level had barely stopped at 60.

Fortunately, the ant had obtained a new skill: Capture.

It could capture bug-type monsters that were stronger than it and was not restricted by levels. However, bug-type monsters that were stronger than it might have a repulsive reaction or suffer a backlash.

After each use, the cooldown time was three days.

This skill was simply tailor-made for him. Firstly, he could hide his identity, and secondly, his level was increasing faster and faster. It was time to find a familiar that was more or less compatible with his ability.

Otherwise, an F-grade talent could easily insta-kill someone.

He wondered if the system had any other heaven-defying missions that could turn people into insects.

He had to move quickly. Since the cooldown time was three days, he might as well use it earlier so that he could test its usage.

At the thought of this, Fang Xuan opened his eyes and stretched before walking out the door.

He would take advantage of the weekend to do another mission.

He had always been a man of action, so he quickly appeared at the entrance of the guild.

Organizations that belonged to the guild, such as the Divine Palace, could accept missions. The compensation was the same. However, he and Elder An could speak, so he might as well come here.

Now that he could rely on quests to level up and earn gold coins, he could consider occasionally entering and exiting the auction house.

However, Elder An wasn’t around today. In his place was a beautiful woman. It was impossible to tell her age at all. She had a professional smile on her face and her aura was as calm as an ancient well. It was as if she didn’t have any cultivation at all. Even when he probed with his Detection Eye, there was only stagnant water. Presumably, she carried a tool to hide her aura with her. Instead of believing that a cultivator with no ability could become an elder of the guild, Fang Xuan would rather believe that Sun Ming would clear his name.

It had to be known that female cultivators who cultivated to the point of being powerful loved to make themselves look younger. Fang Xuan did not dare to be rash and obediently chose a lightning attribute mission to stand at the side and wait.

The former didn’t show any emotion when he saw Fang Xuan take out the first-circle token. With a professional smile, she projected the token on the wall.

He had chosen the Thunder Attribute Quest on purpose. The Fire-type Thorny Mosquitoes and Flame Wristguards he had killed previously, together with the Thunder Attribute items, could be refined into Fire Thunder Arms, which could greatly increase fire and lightning resistance.

“Hello, I also want to choose a thunder attribute mission.”

A clear voice came from beside him. Fang Xuan turned his head and saw that it was Ning Lanqing.

However, why did Ning Lanqing choose the thunder attribute mission instead of the water attribute? Logically speaking, the water attribute was her home ground.

Choosing a quest with similar attributes would not only reduce the difficulty by several times, but more importantly, the equipment dropped would all be of their own attributes. Otherwise, if they could not be compatible, they could only be hung at the auction. Would the daughter of a general lack money? That was impossible.

However, ants like Fang Xuan had balanced attributes. They did not have any outstanding attribute abilities, so they did not reject most attribute equipment. That was why he could use the Flame Wristguards at will.

One had to know that even if it was a natural fire attribute cultivator, it would probably take a period of time to get used to it.

However, Fang Xuan was not in the mood to ask. After all, everyone had their own reasons. There was no need to meddle in other people’s business.

Soon, the mission was registered on his token. After a simple greeting to Ning Lanqing, who was queuing up, Fang Xuan turned around and left the guild hall.

For some reason, after the incident with Zhao Xiang, he felt that he had let Ning Lanqing down. He felt like he was… having an affair?

Fang Xuan couldn’t believe that this emotion came from him. After all, he was only 14 or 15 years old in this life. If it was in the past, he would still be drooling and reciting ancient poems on his desk.

He shook his head and returned his attention to the mission.

Fang Xuan picked up the token with a flip of his hand. On the front was the unchanging “One”, and on the back were a few lines of purple words.

Entering the Lightning Domain.
