#441 - Chapter 440 Perfect Weapon
“Qi Mingyue?” Li Chenqiu's face showed a surprised expression, and he subconsciously looked up at the sixth floor of the Linglong Pagoda.
Xiang Nanzhi, who was standing next to him, tugged at his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Qi Mingyue of the War College, is this the Qi Mingyue we know?"
“I’m not sure… maybe!”
Li Chenqiu's tone was calm, his eyes were scattered, and his dark eyes reflected the starry sky. No one knew what he was thinking.
The thin, tall youth hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, it's Qi Mingyue. I almost forgot in the heat of the moment!"
“A freshman can break through the fifth floor of the Linglong Pagoda. It’s really heaven-defying!”
“Moreover, he passed the fifth floor without any combat experience. He really deserves the word 'heaven-defying'."
The student who mentioned "Qi Mingyue" earlier continued, "When Qi Mingyue first entered school, although he could be called a genius, he was not considered dazzling in our War College.
But this situation only lasted for a short period of time. Later, this guy seemed to have cheated. His strength improved by leaps and bounds. Although his forbidden level is not high, his combat power is ridiculously strong!"
“How ridiculous is it?” someone asked curiously.
“At the fourth forbidden level, he can basically crush all fifth forbidden level Heavenly Chosen. Among the sixth forbidden level, it is difficult to find someone who can suppress him. Tell me, is it ridiculous or not!”
As soon as these words came out, some onlookers showed shocked expressions on their faces.
“The sixth forbidden level can’t suppress a fourth forbidden level? That’s too ridiculous!”
“What’s so ridiculous about that? Our academy has a big idiot named Li Chenqiu. When he was at the fourth forbidden level, he cut down three sixth forbidden levels while letting them use one hand. He’s so heaven-defying that he doesn’t seem human!”
“Damn, this world is too crazy. Sometimes I feel like I’m just an NPC, born to be a background board for these guys.”
“Brother, how did Qi Mingyue’s strength suddenly increase so much? Is there any reason?” Li Chenqiu, wearing a mask, stepped forward and asked curiously.
The man shook his head and spread his hands: "I don't know, maybe he suddenly got enlightened!"
Hearing this, Li Chenqiu frowned slightly, and a hint of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.
Many methods that can quickly improve strength often require paying some price. He had seen Qi Mingyue's madness before. In the prison, in order to help someone, he could do such a stupid thing as overdrawing his lifespan!
Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu's heart couldn't settle down.
“Brother, since you know the Linglong Pagoda so well, do you think Qi Mingyue's strength can pass the sixth floor?” someone asked the thin, tall youth.
“I think it’s a bit difficult.”
“It’s still difficult? He can fight the sixth forbidden level at the fourth forbidden level!”
The thin, tall youth shook his head gently: "To pass the sixth floor, you not only need strength, but also rich combat experience. Think about the students who have passed the sixth floor in the past. Which one of them hasn't been through hundreds of battles?"
“If you say that… it seems to be true.”
While the crowd in the back was discussing Qi Mingyue, a few men and women in casual clothes stood together a hundred meters away, looking in the direction of the Linglong Pagoda, discussing Qi Mingyue like everyone else.
“The soul strength far exceeds ordinary people, and there are obvious signs of organ failure all over the body, but he is not a Resurrector. He fits the person we are looking for very well.”
“What are the results of your investigation?”
“The identity background is very clean, there are no suspicious points.”
The leading man narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He whispered: "The perfect weapon."
…
Time passed by, and more and more people gathered under the tower, including people from various colleges.
Li Chenqiu and Xiang Nanzhi sat on the lawn not far away, quietly watching the Linglong Pagoda.
“I’m just curious, the Linglong Pagoda can’t only allow one person to enter at a time. What are you waiting for?” Xiang Nanzhi turned his head in confusion.
Li Chenqiu replied: "I'm very curious about how Qi Mingyue suddenly became stronger. I want to see him."
Xiang Nanzhi smiled speechlessly, pointing to the dark crowd of people and said: "If Qi Mingyue passes the sixth floor and comes out of the Linglong Pagoda, these people will probably surround him completely. How will you see him?"
“Just take a look from afar and see what kind of changes have happened to him,” Li Chenqiu replied indifferently.
“Do you think your eyes are microscopes? Can you know everything with a glance?” Xiang Nanzhi replied angrily.
Li Chenqiu grinned: "I wish it were so."
Xiang Nanzhi didn't dwell on this topic for too long. He changed the subject and leaned closer to say:
“I heard someone say that after passing the eighth floor of the Linglong Pagoda, there will be treasures given as gifts. Do you want to try the eighth floor to verify whether this is true or false?”
Li Chenqiu supported the ground with both hands and moved his butt over: "If you're curious, go verify it yourself!"
“Didn’t you hear what that idiot said just now? It has been a hundred years since the Spirit Illusion Realm was opened, but no one has been able to pass the eighth floor. The difficulty is so great, how can I verify it?”
“Since you know the difficulty is great, why are you telling me this? Do you think I can definitely pass the eighth floor?” Li Chenqiu asked back.
Xiang Nanzhi coughed lightly, half-covering his mouth: "Although you are a jerk, I have to admit that your ability to fight beyond your forbidden level is indeed a little bit stronger than mine, so…"
Buzzing——
Before Xiang Nanzhi could finish speaking, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the tower.
“Huh?”
Li Chenqiu questioned softly, looking for the sound. He saw that the sixth floor of the Linglong Pagoda burst out with silver light several times brighter than before.
Before he could figure out the reason, the onlookers under the tower exclaimed one after another, revealing the reason like NPCs.
“Damn! Qi Mingyue passed the sixth floor!!!”
“Oh my god, a freshman can actually pass the sixth floor. This is too awesome!”
“He can pass the sixth floor without much combat experience. When he gains combat experience, won’t he be able to pass the seventh floor!”
“You know what, that’s actually possible!”
Just as everyone was discussing, a light flashed at the entrance of the Linglong Pagoda, and a thin young man, supporting the wall, staggered out.
The young man's face was thin, his skin was morbidly pale, and hideous ravines covered his body. The blood-soaked white shirt hung loosely on his body, and the whole person looked extremely weak.
It seemed that if a gust of wind blew at this moment, it could knock this unsteady young man to the ground.
This person was none other than Qi Mingyue.
After seeing Qi Mingyue, the crowd gathered in front of the tower rushed forward one after another, surrounding him in a matter of moments, talking all at once, and the scene became extremely lively for a while, but there were also exceptions.
