A wandering person would not have a home.
When Zhou Xuan returned to his residence, it was already 11PM.
During this period, other than eating dinner, he had been cultivating in the Demon Subduing Pagoda.
As he was only doing odd jobs, the academy did not assign him a dormitory. Therefore, for the past month, he had been renting a room in the Biji District outside the Demon Subduing Academy.
At that time, he and Song Fan had found the house together.
Song Fan lived opposite, but now that he had a dormitory in the Demon Subduing Academy, he rarely came here.
Zhou Xuan remembered that Song Fan had come three times in the past month. Every time, he would bring a female companion back, and each time, the female companion would be different.
When he came back tonight, he saw Song Fan's pet beast in the bushes downstairs. It was a two-and-a-half-meter-long husky with a little female wolf beside it.
The air was filled with the scent of spring.
After he went upstairs, he met Song Fan and the pretty female student he met in the afternoon.
Obviously, Song Fan had changed his female companion again.
"Little Xuan, why are you back so late? Did you go on a date?" Song Fan looked at Zhou Xuan with a smile. "Bring your female companion back for us to meet."
There was no doubt that he was showing off his female companion.
The woman's name was Chen Yueru. She was tall and had snow-white skin. Her eyes seemed to be able to eat people.
Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly. "I remember that the female companion you brought back the night before wasn't this."
Song Fan was obviously stunned.
Then, he quickly reached out and hugged Chen Yueru tightly. "That's all in the past. Yueru is my true love now."
When Chen Yueru heard this, she was not angry. Instead, she looked at Song Fan with a smile and said meaningfully, "Do you want to call her over to play Fight the Landlord with us?"
Song Fan: "…"
At that moment, he couldn't stay calm anymore. "Really?"
There was actually such a good thing?
Chen Yueru smiled even more brilliantly and said, "Of course. I can call my ex over too."
Song Fan: "…"
Chen Yueru left.
Before she left, she didn't forget to pat Song Fan's chest. "Actually, you're just average."
"What average?" Song Fan didn't react for a moment.
"It feels so so," Chen Yueru said before leaving.
Song Fan stood at the door and watched Chen Yueru leave. He did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Suddenly, he looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "I'm already a Gold Two-Star Demon Hunter. How can I be ordinary when I'm so strong and powerful?!"
Obviously, he could not accept such an evaluation.
When Zhou Xuan saw this scene, he could not help but laugh.
"Why don't I call your ex or your ex ex over for you and find some self-confidence?" he teased.
"Go away." Song Fan did not have the habit of going back.
"So-so, it's actually just so-so." A demonic sound lingered in his ears, and he felt as if he had suffered ten thousand critical hits in his heart. He began to doubt himself.
"Drink with me." He looked at Zhou Xuan with a bitter expression.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand. "I'm from the countryside. I don't have the money to buy wine."
"I have wine in my room," Song Fan said and returned to his room.
Zhou Xuan didn't go in. He shouted, "I don't want to observe your battlefield. Let's go to my room to drink."
The two of them drank a lot until one in the morning.
When Song Fan returned to his room, he was still mumbling about how "it felt so-so".
It was really heartbreaking.
Zhou Xuan even suspected that this fellow had a shadow in his heart.
Although he slept late, he got up at half past six.
As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. He wanted to hurry up and sign in.
After washing up, he went to Ruyi Breakfast at seven o'clock.
He ate vegetarian food for breakfast. It was still soy milk, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, and two fragrant and soft white steamed buns.
When the lady boss, Liu Ruyi, served breakfast, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Silver Four-Star. Little Zhou, you've broken through?"
Of course, what she saw was Zhou Xuan's disguised realm. She could not tell that Zhou Xuan's true realm was far higher than this.
This was the profoundness of the Turtle Breathing Technique.
"That's right. My luck is pretty good," Zhou Xuan said with a smile. "Fortunately, I broke through. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be qualified to do odd jobs in the Demon Subduing Pagoda."
"It's good that you've broken through." Liu Ruyi nodded.
She was more or less surprised. She did not expect Zhou Xuan to be able to break through in a place like the Demon Subduing Pagoda. It was really not easy.
After Zhou Xuan finished his breakfast, he walked into the academy and arrived at the assessment area.
He was full of confidence in this month's assessment.
Firstly, he had made a breakthrough. Secondly, he left early in the morning and left late at night every day. He worked seriously and was definitely competent.
As expected, the instructor of the assessment office only used two minutes to announce that he had passed the assessment.
Then, the other party said meaningfully, "Zhou Xuan, there are many demon beasts on the first level. Thank you for your hard work."
"Not at all." Zhou Xuan hurriedly expressed his stance. "I want to thank the academy for giving me this opportunity. I'll work hard."
Just as he was about to leave, Song Fan arrived on his husky.
"You also need to be assessed?" He was a little surprised.
Song Fan shook his head and said, "I'm just doing a simple registration so that I can collect the resources."
He was different from Zhou Xuan.
He had the guidance of an advanced instructor and various resources to support his cultivation. Every time he broke through, he would be rewarded.
A month ago, he was a Silver Eight-Star. Now, he had advanced to become a Gold Two-Star Demon Hunter. His cultivation speed was also very fast, surpassing many people.
Moreover, his Astral Soul was a Silver Moon Wolf. Silver Moon Wolves were high-level demon beasts that could evolve into Silver Moon Wolf Kings and had the potential to become Wolf Gods.
Therefore, Song Fan had a bright future ahead of him.
After registering, he patted Song Fan's shoulder and said, "Congratulations on your breakthrough. I'm also happy for you that you can stay. In the future, if you need any help, just let me know. I'll definitely help you if I can."
Zhou Xuan nodded. "Then I'll thank you first."
He was different from Song Fan.
He did not have the guidance of a mentor or the support of the academy's resources, so he could only occasionally go to class.
However, he had the Unscientific Sign-In System. He was confident that he would not fall behind students like Song Fan.
Without any delay, he left the assessment area and headed straight for the Demon Subduing Pagoda.
He opened the door to room 6 and saw the big-headed tiger demon cultivating diligently.
The big-headed tiger demon had a Silver Nine-Star cultivation base and had thick skin. After a night of recuperation, his injuries had mostly recovered.
"Want a fight?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"No, I'm convinced. I'm not going to fight you." The big-headed tiger demon shook its huge head and obediently lay down.
Although it was not a human, it was not stupid at all. Its face still hurt a little.
When Zhou Xuan saw how obedient the big-headed tiger demon was, a smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.
He liked obedient demons.
"Follow me." As he spoke, he took down the Demon Suppression Stone at the door.
"Alright." The big-headed tiger demon hurriedly nodded.
It was not that it had never thought of escaping, but it knew that it was courting death if it did so.
Therefore, it obediently followed Zhou Xuan to the door of room 7 to help Zhou Xuan.
In room 7, the lower half of the mermaid's body was soaking in the pool, revealing only a charming face.
When she saw Zhou Xuan, she did not sing and launched a mental attack.
This was because she also saw the big-headed tiger demon standing behind Zhou Xuan. No matter how enchanting her singing was, it was strenuous and unrewarding.
Zhou Xuan stood at the door and waved at the mermaid.
When the mermaid saw this, she wrapped herself in mist and came over obediently.
Zhou Xuan reached out and held her chin, saying softly, "You really look like Flame Spirit Concubine."
The moment he touched the mermaid, the system's voice sounded in his ear. "Ding! Target discovered. Do you want to sign in?"
