Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Ye Xuan is on his way to Wanshan University?”

“He suggested I take the challenge but postpone the fight?”

At Jiangzhou University, a girl in a white gauzy dress sat quietly on a red wooden bench by the lake.

She picked up her cell phone to read the new message that had just arrived while petting a white dove standing on her shoulder.

That message was exactly from Ren Xue.

However, she was quite puzzled by Ren Xue’s message.

She wondered what Ren Xue was up to.

Ye Xuan was on his way to Wanshan University, but it was Ye Xuan’s business. Did it have anything to do with her?

And what difference would it make even if she postponed the fight?

However, she was a gentle person, and Ren Xue was a good friend of hers. Therefore, she did not hesitate to open the campus app to accept Jiang Tianqing’s challenge.

And she chose to fight against him the next day.

…

“Ye Xuan.”

On the back of the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle, Lin Shiru had been texting someone. Then she suddenly looked up at Ye Xuan. “There might be some problem with the trip to the ancient city on the turtle shell.”

“Problem? What problem?”

Ye Xuan asked in surprise.

“I was just told that some people probably would harm the genius students from the Xia on the trip to the ancient city on the turtle shell.”

Lin Shiru said with a serious face.

“Some people will harm the genius students from the Xia?”

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrow. “Who are those people? They are from other countries or other planets?

“Besides, now that you have got the news, that means the Xia already has a countermeasure, doesn’t it?”

By then, Ye Xuan had found although Jiangzhou University was in decline, Lin Shiru was always very well informed.

For example, in theory, news like this should not have been disclosed to her. Her position was just not high enough.

“Yep. You are right.”

Lin Shiru said after a nod, “The Challenger-level Beast Tamers of our country are going to beat those people at their own game. They are going to catch everyone that is scheming against us.”

“The thing is we need some baits so that not only more people but also more important people will rise to the bait.”

“What does that mean? You want me to be the bait?”

Ye Xuan’s face fell.

He would never do that.

It was not because he was a person who only wanted to enjoy benefits without making any sacrifices.

Instead, it was because he had been improving fast. If he was sent as bait and some accident came up, all of his efforts would be wasted.

Besides, what if he died? How would his parents cope with it?

“Yep.”

Lin Shiru said after a nod, “You were nominated. Besides you, Feng Xiangming from Zhongzhou University, as well as a few other genius students, were also nominated.”

“But you know, for your safety, in case anything comes up, you won’t have to be there in person.”

“A Challenger-level Beast Tamer will visit you these days to make a clone of each of you.”

“He will use your clones as baits to draw the attention of those who intend to harm the Xia.

And you won’t be sent to the Turtle Shell Ancient City until all of those people have been caught.”

“Well, I see.”

Not until then did he feel relieved.

He was really scared out of his wits earlier.

After all, in what circumstances would Challenger-level Beast Tamers have to act in person? When the enemy was also Challenger-level Beast Tamers. What else could it be?

He would not even know how he was killed if used as the bait to draw those Challenger-level Beast Tamers’ attention.

However, it would be okay if they only wanted a clone of him.

After all, he would not be harmed even if his clone died.

“Ms. Lin, what should I?”

Ye Xuan asked Lin Shiru.

“Keep a high profile!”

Lin Shiru only said four words.

Then she explained further, “This will be a big action for the Xia. And the enemy is powerful. But how many people will be lured into the trap will depend on how high-profiled you and the other few geniuses are. You should try your best to convince them your potential is threatening for them.”

“I see.”

Ye Xuan nodded.

It was really beyond his expectation that he was given such a task.

Whether I am high-profiled enough will even affect the future of the country?

“Ye Xuan, you don’t have any personal social media account that the university verifies, do you?”

Lin Shiru asked all of a sudden as if something had occurred to her.

“No, I don’t have any.”

Ye Xuan shook his head.

School had just started. He did not even know where he could apply for that.

He even did not have any social media account of his own. Let alone a verified one.

Usually, he would only check his friends’ feeds.

“Well, register one. I will get you verified. Then you write a post to tell everyone we are on our way to Wanshan University.”

Lin Shiru said immediately.

Apparently, this trip to Wanshan University was an ideal opportunity to be high-profiled and show off.

Lin Shiru probably would take advantage of this opportunity to make Ye Xuan a real leading figure of Jiangzhou University.

“Ms. Lin, I will no followers if I register now. What difference can I make even if I publish a post?”

However, Ye Xuan found Lin Shiru’s instruction very weird.

“Well, it is only a matter of number.”

Lin Shiru said calmly, “I will recommend your account. Ren Xue has a lot of followers. She will recommend your account, too. And you tell your friends to follow you. You are famous. I guess you will have hundreds of thousands of followers in ten minutes or even less than ten minutes.”

Hundreds of thousands of followers in ten minutes?

Am I that good?

Lin Shiru dumbfounded ye Xuan.

Then he registered a personal social media account out of curiosity right away.

He passed the verification of the platform very quickly.

The registration was completed in a few minutes.

Then Lin Shiru contacted someone. He got a checkmark near his profile photo in less than two minutes and became a member officially verified by Jiangzhou University.

“Hey bros, please do me a favor. I have just registered my personal social media account Ye Xuan (Jiangzhou University), and Jiangzhou University has verified it. Please follow me and recommend my account to more people. Thanks a lot!”

Then Ye Xuan sent a group message to everyone on his chat app.

He asked them to help recommend his account.

Then, he wrote his first post on that account after some consideration.

“It has been a week since the start of my university life. I suddenly realized I shouldn’t be so lazy anymore, so I talked with my tutor and set a small goal for myself. In the next two months, I will try my best to achieve the Platinum level and lead Jiangzhou University to become the winner of the Hundred Academy League!”

He pondered after he had published this post. Then he published another one.

“I am only on the high Silver level now. On my way to Wanshan University.”

“Anyone can help me get in touch with Jiang Tianqing from Wanshan University? I will give the Rising Star List of Jiangzhou a shake and become the new number one on it.”

“Please help me contact Cai Feng and Yu Guan from Wanshan University, too. I also want to make some changes to their ranks on the Longhu List.”

“Ye Xuan?”

Ye Xuan saw Lin Shiru, who had already followed him, look up at him from her phone when he had published all of those posts.

There was something odd in her look.

“Is there anything wrong?”

Ye Xuan looked at Lin Shiru.

“Don’t you think you are too high-profiled?” Lin Shiru asked in a helpless tone.

“The more high-profile, the better. Am I not right?”

Ye Xuan replied with a grin.

“But it is a little too much. Even if the enemy’s plan is frustrated this time and it suffers a loss, it probably will attempt to attack you for the second time.”

Lin Shiru said, shaking her head.

“For the second time?”

There was a gleam in Ye Xuan’s eyes. “Well, in that case, I will go to the Dragon Horn Planet directly when I come back from the Turtle Shell Ancient City. Even if those people want to kill me, I don’t believe they will chase me to the Dragon Horn Planet.”

Ye Xuan had made his own plan.

He knew he would be targeted sooner or later because he had been improving too fast.

That was inevitable.

However, the appearance of the Dragon Horn Planet gave him a new option.

He would go to the Dragon Horn Planet and hide there for the moment.

There were resources that he needed for cultivation on the Dragon Horn Planet, too.

Besides, there were space channels connected to the Ancient God Planet on the Dragon Horn Planet. Therefore, his level-up progress would not be restricted.

“The Dragon Horn Planet?”

Lin Shiru looked a little relieved.

She knew it was a good idea.

And Ye Xuan should disappear from the public for some time indeed when this action was over.

Because even without this action, Ye Xuan had been in the limelight for a very long time.

Maybe he would be assassinated for real.

“Ye Xuan’s verified social media account?”

At the same time, all of his friends were struck dumb by Ye Xuan’s group message.

Then most of them opened the social media platform to follow Ye Xuan’s verified personal account.

“Darn it!”

However, they saw Ye Xuan’s new posts as soon as they followed him. And they were instantly dumbfounded.

He intends to achieve the Platinum level in two months and lead the Jiangzhou University to won this year’s Hundred Academy League?

Ye Xuan, are you crazy? Have you lost your senses?

Or are you sleep talking?

The Beast Tamers who had just bid farewell to Ye Xuan at Bujin Mountain were especially dumbfounded by Ye Xuan’s posts.

“High Silver level?”

“Did you level up again?”

They were all in a daze. They wondered when he had leveled up.

Ring…

On the back of the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle, Ye Xuan got a call while talking to Lin Shiru and Ren Xue.

“Ye Xuan.”

He heard Tang Mengxia’s surprised voice as soon as he took the call. “Ye Xuan, when did you achieve the high Silver level? I don’t remember you leveled up at the Tianshan Base. And that was only a short while ago. I have not even arrived at my university yet.”

“You saw my posts, Mengxia? It was just now. I leveled up only just now.”

Ye Xuan said, smiling, “Don’t forget to recommend my account to more people. I don’t have many followers yet.”

“You need more followers? No problem. I will help. I will tell more people to recommend your account.”

Tang Mengxia replied immediately.

They talked a little bit more. Then she hung up the phone.

However, she did not come to her senses until a good while later after she had hung up.

Does he want to achieve the Platinum level in two months?

And he is on his way to Wanshan University?

She took a deep breath.

She knew this was getting serious.

With Ye Xuan’s current fame across the Xia, these two would get him numerous followers.

“Shoot!”

Simultaneously, as more people saw Ye Xuan’s posts, the whole world was instantly petrified by him.

They knew this was getting serious.

Whoosh!

Whooshing across the air, the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle finally arrived at Wanshan University with Ye Xuan, Lin Shiru, and Ren Xue on its back.
