Chapter 337: Chapter 235: Promotion to C-Level! This Guy Plays the Puppy to Eat the Sow

"..."

Su Xuan stared at her, a bit lost in thought. Although he was sure he didn’t know this woman, he couldn’t shake the feeling he’d met her somewhere before.

Their eyes met for a few seconds before the woman turned and entered the adjacent lounge.

This only deepened Su Xuan’s confusion. ’What is she even doing here?’ he wondered.

While his attention was focused on the woman, Cheng Lan walked over to him.

"Su, you look young enough to still be in school, right?" Her short, ink-blue hair gave her a sharp, distinctive look. She stood with her hands on her hips, looking directly at Su Xuan. "Doesn’t spending all your time in a game world affect your studies?"

"?"

Su Xuan was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond to Cheng Lan’s question.

He really hadn’t expected her to bring up his schoolwork right off the bat.

As he fell silent, he heard Xu Feiyan’s whisper in his ear. "Don’t be fooled by her appearance. Cheng Lan used to be a high school teacher. She quit after inheriting her family’s fortune, though."

"A high school teacher?" Su Xuan’s gaze returned to Cheng Lan, a wave of surprise washing over him.

’A gym teacher?’

"Language arts teacher."

"?"

Xu Feiyan’s answer only confused Su Xuan more.

He sized up Cheng Lan. Her sharp features and imposing aura made it hard to associate her with the image of a gentle and refined language arts teacher. ’No matter how I look at her, she seems more like some kind of mob boss...’

"Don’t worry, my studies haven’t fallen behind," Su Xuan replied.

Although he had been engrossed in the game for the past few days, his academic performance had, surprisingly, been steadily improving. Concepts that were once difficult to memorize now stuck after a single read-through.

Cheng Lan looked surprised by Su Xuan’s answer. "You’re still in school?"

Her voice was tinged with disbelief.

The others also wore looks of surprise.

Su Xuan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It’s only a few more days, anyway. I’m pretty much a college student now."

Most importantly, he had legally become an adult a few months ago.

Hearing this, Cheng Lan reached out and flicked Su Xuan on the forehead. "Then you need to study even harder," she said earnestly.

"I was going to go easy on you, but now I’ve decided to send out my Guild’s three strongest Adventurers. I’m going to cure your gaming addiction and get you to study hard."

"..."

Su Xuan’s eyebrows twitched at her words.

[Both Guild Presidents, please prepare. The battle will commence in one minute!]

As the notification sounded, Su Xuan and Cheng Lan led their respective teams of Adventurers to the battle area.

Meanwhile, Xu Feiyan and the others sat in the lounge to watch the promotion match.

As Su Xuan led his Adventurers onto the battlefield, his eyes immediately locked onto Cheng Lan in the distance. She stood a hundred meters away, followed by three Adventurers: a female from the Snake-man Race, a Skeleton Knight, and a Rock Giant that was over ten meters tall.

Su Xuan was rather surprised by Cheng Lan’s lineup of Adventurers, especially the Rock Giant. He had never seen anyone use a Rock Giant as an Adventurer before.

He glanced at the Levels of the three Adventurers and found that the Rock Giant’s was the highest, at Level 55. The Snake-man woman followed close behind at Level 52, while the Skeleton Knight was Level 50.

"Su, I’m not going to hold back, you know. You’d better use everything you’ve got," Cheng Lan shouted confidently.

As the President of a C+ Level Guild, her Tier was two ranks higher than Su Xuan’s. From a Tier perspective, there was almost no reason for her to lose.

Cheng Lan’s confidence naturally sparked a discussion among her friends.

"Cheng Lan is as confident as ever~"

"Can’t she go a little easy on the little guy?"

"Looks like the little guy’s Guild only has one Adventurer over Level 50. The difference in strength is pretty huge."

"Go, kiddo! Don’t you dare lose to Cheng Lan!"

"..."

Players only had permission to see limited information. Besides Level and Race, almost everything else was replaced by question marks.

Because of this, they were very worried about whether Su Xuan could defeat Cheng Lan.

Hearing their chatter, Cheng Lan’s expression tightened. "Those traitors," she muttered under her breath. "Dropping their friends the second they see a handsome face!"

As for the enemy’s cheer squad rooting for him, Su Xuan just calmly rubbed the tip of his nose. ’I didn’t expect the Succubus Physique to be this useful~’

Then, Su Xuan glanced behind him, considering who to send out.

Before he could make a decision, Rosaline had already stepped forward with her sword in hand, striding onto the battlefield.

The moment she saw Rosaline enter the field, Cheng Lan called out a warning to Su Xuan. "Su, are you only sending out one Adventurer? Confidence is important, but too much of it can turn into arrogance."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the three Adventurers behind her moved in unison, quickly advancing to the center of the battlefield.

However, before the three of them could even react, Rosaline had already drawn the Oath Sword from her waist. With a flash of blue lightning, she instantly appeared in front of them.

’So fast!’

The sight sent a jolt through everyone present.

They had never seen such incredible speed. It was as swift as a lightning bolt, its trajectory almost impossible to follow.

Only Petico, standing beside Xu Feiyan, could barely track Rosaline’s movements. Yet even she wore a look of utter shock.

Just a few days ago, Rosaline’s speed had been nowhere near this terrifying. How could her strength have increased so dramatically in such a short time?

"Quick, stop her!"

Seeing this, Cheng Lan immediately issued a command to the Rock Giant and Skeleton Knight beside her, trying to halt Rosaline’s attack.

At the same time, she ordered the Snake-man to begin chanting a Magic spell to end the battle.

However, before the words had fully left Cheng Lan’s mouth, Rosaline’s Oath Sword had already swung down.

A flash of the blade was all it took. The ten-meter-tall Rock Giant was instantly sliced into countless fragments by the Oath Sword and crumbled to the ground.

"Th-that’s impossible?!" Cheng Lan was aghast. Her Rock Giant had been destroyed in an instant?

Immediately after, Rosaline’s Oath Sword pointed at the Skeleton Knight.

The Skeleton Knight, clad in bones as hard as iron, was also struck down by a single blow, its bones shattering and scattering across the ground.

And in that brief moment, Rosaline had already appeared before the Snake-man woman.

The powerful aura radiating from her was enough to make the female Snake-man faint from fright, collapsing to the ground in a heap.

The battle was over in the blink of an eye, plunging the entire scene into a dead silence. Not only Cheng Lan but even her friends watching from the sidelines were staring with wide eyes and gaping mouths.

"I-It’s over?"

"What just happened?"

"I couldn’t see a thing!"

"He’s that strong? Cheng Lan’s three Adventurers were insta-killed just like that?"

"Hah! He’s playing the innocent puppy to prey on a pig!"

"And Cheng Lan, that pig, got eaten alive!"

"..."

Amidst the buzzing crowd, a crisp notification sound suddenly chimed in Su Xuan’s ear:

[Congratulations, you have successfully defeated the enemy Guild. Your Player rating has been promoted to C-Level!]

[Please choose an impressive name for your Guild. It will be registered on the C-Level Guild rankings!]
