I Break through Crazily

As the group headed toward the candidates from the Three Major Zones, Tang Baijie glanced at Fan Wei, then intentionally pulled him back to put some distance between them and Tang Yi and Tang Piaomiao, looking like she had something to say.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing her expression, Fan Wei asked, a little puzzled.

Tang Baijie shot Fan Wei a look, lowered her voice, and said with dissatisfaction, "When we were in danger earlier, didn’t I tell you to run? I even let you go to save your own life, but you came back. Do you realize that by doing so, you’ve made my good intentions go to waste?"

"I know," Fan Wei said, nodding seriously.

"You knew, and you still came back?" Tang Baijie asked, confused.

"It’s because I knew of your good intentions that I came back," Fan Wei explained.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Tang Baijie didn’t understand.

"I couldn’t bear to watch a kind person like you die all alone," Fan Wei said earnestly.

Tang Baijie frowned and said irritably, "So you were just going to die with me? How stupid can you be! Was it worth it?"

"It was worth it!" Fan Wei answered immediately, without a second thought.

Tang Baijie looked up at Fan Wei again. Both touched and confused, she asked, "Why?"

"Why?"

Fan Wei thought for a moment before turning his head to look deeply at Tang Baijie. Then, with an exceptionally serious expression, he said, "Because... I like you!"

After saying this, without waiting to see Tang Baijie’s reaction, Fan Wei quickened his pace and hurried to catch up with Tang Yi and Tang Piaomiao.

And as Fan Wei said those three words, "I like you," the corners of Tang Yi’s mouth curled up unconsciously into a smile.

Of course, with hearing as sharp as his, there was no way Tang Yi wouldn’t have overheard the conversation between Tang Baijie and Fan Wei.

Seeing Fan Wei’s feelings for Tang Baijie, Tang Yi thought it would be a joyous occasion if the two became a couple. He would be happy to witness such an event.

’He likes me?’

Tang Baijie stared blankly at Fan Wei’s retreating back, her heart a mess of complicated feelings...

’With her woman’s intuition, she had faintly sensed Fan Wei’s feelings for her before. But without hearing him admit it himself, she’d always dismissed it as her imagination. How could a man so handsome and with such great Talent possibly like a woman like her, who was neither beautiful nor talented?’

But now that she had heard Fan Wei admit it himself, she finally knew it wasn’t a delusion.

Hearing Fan Wei personally say those three words, "I like you," Tang Baijie felt both joyful and worried.

’She was happy that such a handsome man liked her, but worried that she wasn’t good enough for him. Her heart was in a knot.’

"What are you spacing out for? Hurry and catch up. We’re about to see a good show."

Seeing Tang Baijie in a daze, Fan Wei turned his head and shouted back at her.

"Oh, right." Tang Baijie snapped out of it. ’We’re still in the middle of the House Entrance Examination,’ she thought. ’Affairs of the heart... hmm, I’ll just leave it be for now and think about it later.’

With that thought, she quickened her pace to catch up...

...

"Damn it. As expected of a top-tier among Level 5 Demon Beasts. So many of us have been besieging it for this long, and we still haven’t managed to kill it."

Jiao Zhiming cursed impatiently in the area where they were fighting the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog.

"What’s the rush?" Shao Yushan said slowly. "Our main goal isn’t to kill this Fire Scorpion Giant Frog. We only chose it as a target to get revenge for it chasing us earlier. Our real objective is to use the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog to weaken the candidates from the Three Major Zones and get more of them killed. That way, the bloody aura in the Little Extreme Sacred Land will grow richer. Once it reaches a certain concentration, the Altar containing the Saint Spirit Blood can be opened!"

He was at the Battle King Level of strength, yet his movements were unhurried. When he attacked the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog, it was clear he was barely trying, just going through the motions.

"I’m just frustrated that we’ve been fighting this beast for so long and can’t kill it, so I’m just complaining a little," Jiao Zhiming said, looking around. "By now, almost a hundred candidates from the four zones have died, right? It looks like there are still over two hundred left on the field."

"That sounds about right," Shao Yushan replied, glancing at the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog. "However, looking at the state of that Fire Scorpion Giant Frog, it still has plenty of energy left. It won’t be going down anytime soon. These West Mansion candidates will probably have to lose another hundred or so people."

"In that case, we’ll have taken care of several hundred candidates this time without getting our own hands dirty. That’ll count as a great accomplishment. We’re sure to get a huge reward when we get back," Jiao Zhiming said with delight.

"Sigh," Shao Yushan said, shaking his head. "Compared to getting a reward when we get back, I’d much rather trade the credit for this achievement for a first time with those three beauties. But it’s a pity Master Fu has taken an interest in them."

"Yeah, those three are absolute Top Grade. I’ve never seen women of such quality. It’s a real shame," Jiao Zhiming added with regret. "I wonder if Master Fu has caught them yet."

"He probably has. We sent their location to Master Fu as soon as we found them yesterday, and he confirmed he got it. He might be enjoying himself all alone right now. Tsk, tsk, a foursome! That must be incredible," Shao Yushan said, clicking his tongue in envy.

"Don’t say another word. Just thinking about it is driving me crazy." The moment Jiao Zhiming pictured those three great beauties writhing beneath Xiaofu, a fire of lust surged within him, making him unbearably restless. "Damn it, I have to find a couple of girls tonight to let off some steam."

"Alright, that’s enough. Let’s focus on finishing the mission," Shao Yushan consoled Jiao Zhiming. "We can make plans for tonight later. There will be women." As he spoke, his gaze drifted to a few of the female candidates who were attacking the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog.

’These female candidates are quite attractive,’ he thought. ’They can’t compare to those three beauties, but they’re still high-quality. Tonight... perhaps I could have some fun with them...’

’But first, the mission has to be completed successfully. Enough of the other candidates need to die off. Only then will it be easy to make a move.’

But just as everything was proceeding according to Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming’s plan, a few candidates suddenly darted out from the forest.

With the exception of one unfamiliar candidate whose clothes were clean and tidy—he had likely just arrived—the others appeared to be the same North District candidates who had been fighting the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog earlier. Their faces were blackened with soot, their clothes were in tatters, and they looked completely miserable.

Everyone had assumed those North District candidates had been wiped out. No one expected a few of them to have survived!

Moreover, for them to return here so fearlessly... they certainly had guts...

Seeing these North District candidates return to the battlefield, no one thought much of it. They simply assumed the candidates were fools who had come back to throw their lives away.

At that moment, Shao Yushan shouted to the North District candidates, "Hey, you lot! Since you’re back, get over here and help! This Demon Beast is on its last legs!"

Hearing this, Tang Yi glanced at Shao Yushan, thought for a moment, and replied, "Alright. I’ll be right over to help. I can definitely give you all a big hand."

As he spoke, Tang Yi broke into a smile—an incredibly brilliant one.
