I entered the bathroom and took a cold water bath, feeling much more refreshed after it. As I looked at my handsome reflection in the mirror, I saw a face that has grown more stern compared to my younger days. My features, looking sharp as if they were engraved with a knife, revealed an unwavering determination. The muscles on my body were well built and defined, as if carved from stone. Bullet scars dotted my chest mixed among a tangle of various thin scars from knife wounds, all of which I had accumulated over the years since I was 17 years old. I have been constantly teetering dangerously on the border between life and death.

Truth be told, it was impossible to come out unscathed, but in the end I still survived. Admittedly, surviving had nothing to do with luck; one could only rely on themselves. As the old man had always said, ‘Only those who have walked through many life and death situations can be called true practitioners.’ Perhaps I have already accomplished the task he had set out for me.

Getting dressed, I heard the phone ring: Wan Er was urging me to turn up at the girls’ dormitory lobby at exactly 8pm to go for dinner. As expected, when I arrived at 8 PM, the two beautiful girls were already waiting for me downstairs. We all walked towards the Hunan restaurant to hopefully eat our fill.

After eating, on the way back, I quietly followed Wan Er by her side.

“Li Xiao Yao?” She looked at me suddenly.

“Yes.” I gave her a wide smile. “Young miss, what’s wrong?”

Wan Er gave a small laugh, “It’s not anything major, but I wanted to tell you that tomorrow at 11AM, Q-Sword and Jian Han will arrive at Hangzhou’s Western District. At that time, we’ll be going out to greet them at the campus gates. Then I’ll be inviting them out to eat lunch as a sign of our friendship. You’re also from Hangzhou, so come with me.”

I nodded slightly, “Of course I’ll be coming. Don’t forget, I am your bodyguard, if you are meeting with a stranger, I have no reason not to follow you…”

Wan Er couldn’t help but smile, “Okay then, follow me if you must. I never said you couldn’t follow me.”

“Okay!”

……

As I got back into the dorms, it was still early, so I logged back online.

“Shua!”

Appearing in Ba Huang City, I went to take a look at the Auction House. I received a pleasant shock there; unexpectedly the True Soul Spear I had put on the auction had already been sold! There was no bidding because someone had used the “buyout option”! 15,000G with the current exchange rate of 1:7, was about 105,000 RMB! How could anyone spend that much money for a single spear!?
TL: 105,500 RMB translates to roughly 17,000 USD

I took a look at the buyer’s name—Mu Tian? Why did this name sound so familiar?

Looking at his information, I saw–

Mu Tian Lv 52, Silver Swordsman.
City: Ba Huang City
Guild: Flying Dragon
Position: Team Leader
TL: Team leader is the position below Guild Master, Deputy and Elders

……

So [Flying Dragon] bought the True Soul Spear? That’s kind of dumb… To give a Swordsman the True Soul spear …. Isn’t that kind of a waste? They should know that 25% specialization bonus is a scary thing if used correctly… A Knight wielding this True Soul Spear would be on a completely different level than a Swordsman wielding it!

I took another look at the rankings list. Unsurprisingly, the owner of the True Soul Spear was someone else: Drunken Spear, the Nature Knight. Surprisingly, [Flying Dragon] spent over 100,000 RMB for the True Soul Spear just to give to Drunken Spear. Godd*mn, [Flying Dragon] sure knows how to get money. They don’t ever seem to be short on that end!

Taking out all of the gold directly, I threw it into the auction house for sale. It was all sold in 10 minutes given the large amount of people selling Gold at a 1:8 ratio while I was selling it at 1:7. Thus over 105,000 RMB was sent to my bank account, I even personally paid the tax fee. Splitting the 105,000 RMB into ten different packages, I sent equal portions to Wan Er, Yuzi Chengshuo, and Darling Duck’s bank accounts. With the price of the True Soul Spear easily searchable, no one could say they were treated unfairly. In a few minutes, everything was done and the transfer was confirmed.

Finally I went offline, it was time for me to sleep!
