I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Chapter 634: Chapter 349

Due to Ye Jingqiu’s low resistance to Cat Xue, continuing their contact recklessly could really lead to her death. Despite strong personal opposition, everyone unanimously voted to temporarily ban her from contacting Mr. Xue.

After that, since Ye Jingqiu was temporarily unavailable, Xue Jing casually assigned He Han as the first “individual tutoring subject.”

Although it was unclear what this “individual tutoring” entailed, as Xue Jing’s first choice, He Han was quite proud.

“Indeed, I am Mr. Xue’s number one student in his heart…”

He Han, pretending to be elegant, sat in the chair, holding a cup in one hand and brushing his hair back with the other:

“Now, I am a great official, akin to being appointed as Marquis, given nine ritual implements, ascending to the palace without hastening, entering the court without bowing, not being named during praises, and holding a court position equal to the Three Ducal Ministers…”

“From now on, if you want to talk to Mr. Xue, you need my permission first. Get it?”

Chen Xingyan retorted, “Are you like a primary school kid who just got picked as class representative and starts showing off in front of classmates?”

“And according to you, people generally won’t last long after that.”

He Han glanced at him, shook the cup in his hand, and pouted towards the kettle placed on the nearby table:

“Hey, sizhu, do you think the water will jump into my cup on its own?”

Fu Jialin crossed her arms angrily, her chest slightly pushed out in aggravation, and said angrily:

“He Han, don’t be too He Han!”

The others also chimed in angrily, “Jiali is right; you’re being too much like He Han!”

“Hm?”

He Han was stunned, “Wait, why does using my name sound like cursing?”

“You were only chosen by Mr. Xue because of luck! Like a tissue that just happened to be pulled out. It’s not because you’re special, but because you were just there at the right moment! What’s there to boast about!”

“Evil counsellor, traitor, Zhao Gao!”

He Han spread his arms, enjoying the moment, “The whining of losers isn’t too unpleasant to hear.”

Chen Xingyan calmly reminded him, “It’s okay to act foolish, but you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself. I won’t help you.”

He Han laughed heartily and carelessly responded, “How so? Just a few jokes. My relationship with everyone is as deep as the ocean, solid as a rock, no one will take it seriously, right?”

Saying that, he turned his head to look at everyone.

All of them looked at him expressionlessly, a faint illusion-like black aura emanating from behind them.

Especially the female classmates, all clenching their fists crackingly, veins popping on their hands, their faces filled with an almost uncontrollable urge to beat him.

“Hm? Everyone’s eyes seem a bit red. Didn’t you rest well?”

He Han’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

At that moment, a small figure appeared almost instantly before everyone.

In an instant, everyone’s face turned respectful and happy, as if the previous murderous intent was merely an illusion.

“Mr. Xue!”

“Hmm.” Cat Xue nodded in response to the greeting, then turned to look at He Han.

“He Han, go around and gather some ‘Iron-Based Fruit.’ We’ll need them later for the ‘tutoring.'”

Steel Tree Sea was composed almost entirely of metallic substances, but likely due to an amalgamation with the laws of this world, not only were there ‘Iron-Based Plants,’ but these plants even bore fruit.

Of course, these fruits were also metallic.

Upon hearing Xue Jing’s instruction, He Han sighed in relief, quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and dutifully went to carry out the task.

Half an hour later.

Cat Xue hooked his sharp claws onto a large metallic tree, swinging his body back and forth.

He Han, holding a bulging backpack, walked up to him and performed a deep bow, saying:

“May Mr. Xue be fortunate.”

Cat Xue swung himself into the air, nimbly leaping onto He Han’s shoulder, and asked:

“Did you bring the items?”

“I did. The goods are pure.” He Han patted the backpack in his hand.

Xue Jing hummed in acknowledgement: “Alright, let’s go.”

He Han curiously asked, “Mr. Xue, where are we going?”

“D7 area… Why ask so many questions? Just go when I tell you to,” Xue Jing glanced at him.

He Han thought for a moment then tentatively asked, “I remember that place being quite dangerous, part of the ‘Expert Area’ in the Intersecting Boundaries, with many high-risk Transformers…”

Cat Xue calmly said, “What are you afraid of, am I going to harm you? It’s embarrassing for a man from the Seventh Metropolitan Circle to act so cowardly.”

He Han glared, “I’m not afraid to go, just asking simply…”

He thought for a moment, then added, “Also, although I’m not cowardly, I must clarify that I’m from the south, so losing face wouldn’t reflect badly on the northerners.”

Xue Jing curiously asked, “Oh? Didn’t you say before that you’re a local from Silver City? Or are your ancestors from the south? That doesn’t count. If you grew up in the north, then you are a northerner.”

He Han waved his hand, “My family for eighteen generations are from Silver City, true-blooded people of Jiangnan.”

“South of Heilongjiang.”

Xue Jing: “…”@@novelbin@@

…

Steel Tree Sea, D7 area.

Li Suisui and three boys along with a girl walked on a steel-shaded path.

He fiddled with his wristband. The holographic information of the map on his wristband continually changed, while the four students around him vigilantly surveyed their surroundings.

“Teacher Li… do we really need to undertake this subjugation task?”

Among the four students, a boy asked with a worried expression.

“Our individual scores are fully sufficient, aren’t they? By the end of the exams, when the scores are divided across the team, we’ll be ranked first and receive a wealth of points. Aside from that female fiend from the Demon King Class, we’re securely in the top four… Is it worth the risk?”

The other three didn’t speak, but they all looked toward Li Suisui, clearly sharing the same confusion.

“Normally, that would indeed be the case.”

Li Suisui continued to study the map, fiddling with her wristband as she spoke indifferently.

“But in this exam, there is someone whose actions cannot be judged by ordinary standards.”

“This person chose the unwise strategy of having the whole class form a squad… Usually, it’s a very unwise decision.”

“In any group, once the numbers increase, most of the people inevitably become a burden. The attempt to get good results for everyone usually ensures that no one gets good results.”

“But as I said, that person should not be measured by ordinary standards.”

“For that kind of person, no matter how unfavorable his decisions seem for the exam rules, you must assume he has methods beyond ordinary to ensure everyone achieves good results.”

Li Suisui said this and then glanced quietly at the others.

“If you’re content with your current scores, you may later face the consequence of suddenly having thirty more people above you in the rankings… Although being in the top fifty already qualifies you for admission into every university in the Seventh Metropolitan Circle, the martial arts resources of each school are limited.”

“The better your scores, the higher your ranking, and without a doubt, the more resources you will get. Is it your intention to be content with the top fifty, or will you strive with all your might to remain in the top ten?”

The four of them exchanged looks, then responded, “We will follow your advice, Teacher.”

Li Suisui nodded, “Hmm, you four have coordinated well over the past few days. Dealing with creatures from the Intersecting Boundaries below level 5 shouldn’t be a problem. With Xuanyi’s All-Killing Mystery, even the Iron-Based Creatures with strong defenses can be defeated. The task of eradication is achievable; there is no need to be afraid.”

“Roar—!!!”

Suddenly, a roar laced with the sound of metal friction came from not far away.

It wasn’t particularly loud but was painfully sharp, piercing the eardrums and seemingly carrying a hint of desperation.

Li Suisui furrowed her brows.

“It’s the ‘Big Chainsaw Ape’.”

“What’s going on, that sound… has it been preyed on by another creature?”

Li Suisui’s figure flashed as she hurried toward the source of the sound.

“Follow me!”

The four students looked at each other quickly and hurriedly followed.

…

“What the heck, a territory dispute?”

He Han stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

A huge steel-colored giant ape, nearly ten meters tall with its tail ending in a chainsaw-shaped appendage, was bound around its lower body by several thick silver metal roots, causing it to roar anxiously as it continually pounded its chest.

He Han covered his ears, grimacing, “Mr. Xue, have you heard that quiet animal joke…”

“It’s about a gorilla because it can knock on ‘mimi’…”

Cat Xue, sitting on He Han’s shoulder, ignored him, flicking her tail and controlling the distant Steel Seed with the Plant Pact to continuously produce thick metal roots attacking their target, the ‘Big Chainsaw Ape’.

The ape, muscular and obviously very strong, was frantically restrained by the growing roots. Its chainsaw-tipped tail swung wildly, creating sparks as it sawed through the roots, each cut followed by even more roots wrapping around.

Before long, a dense mass of roots had bound it up tightly like a rice dumpling, rendering even its tail immobile. The Big Chainsaw Ape could only howl in furious impotence towards the sky.

Cat Xue glanced at He Han.

“You’re really lucky to have stumbled upon an unknown Iron-based Plant preying on the Big Chainsaw Ape… Go, its Core Organ is in its head, use a Serious Punch to smash its head, and the eradication task will be complete, free points.”

He Han looked quirky.

Initially, when they first reached Area D7 and heard from Xue Jing that it was for an eradication task, he had refused.

But between the choices of a paw to the throat from Cat Xue and being torn apart by a gorilla, he had to venture over under Xue Jing’s insinuated guidance…

And just as they arrived, after attracting the Big Chainsaw Ape with various fruits from his backpack, a strange Iron-based Plant suddenly emerged and started thrashing the ape, soon binding it up, conveniently exposing its head for easy targeting.

This was luck…

Not possible.

He Han opened his mouth and suppressed the impulse to ask if it was Mr. Xue’s doing.

No need to ask, it certainly was.

If he had stumbled upon this situation by himself, it might have been a fortunate coincidence.

But he was brought here by Mr. Xue.

It was clearly Mr. Xue’s maneuver, specially arranging it to boost his score.

He Han coughed.

No, he couldn’t start laughing yet, or else he would spoil Mr. Xue’s hard work.

He displayed a resolute expression, calmly saying, “Just so you know, I’ve been called a ‘lucky kid’ since I was little. Buying ten popsicles, I’d win at least one ‘try again’, and every time the aunt next door saw me, she’d exclaim: ‘That kid will surely be a Superman one day.'”

“Encountering this can be said to be logical, quite normal, and utterly expected…”

Xue Jing twitched his mouth, fanned his head with a cat paw, “Less chatter.”

He Han rubbed his head, cautiously approached the still roaring and struggling Big Chainsaw Ape, swallowed, and hesitated,

“Uh… are you sure it can’t move?”

Cat Xue indifferently responded, “In three seconds, it should break free.”

“One…”

He had just counted to one when the roots restraining the Big Chainsaw Ape immediately started to loosen.

In a rush, He Han, disregarding his fears, activated Serious Punch and violently smashed towards the Big Chainsaw Ape’s head.

“Bang—!!”

The metallic skull shattered, and the Big Chainsaw Ape, like a machine that had been shut off, ceased its furious struggle in an instant.

He Han touched the cold sweat on his forehead and collapsed to the ground.

“No, Mr. Xue, you said three seconds, but as soon as I counted to one, it felt like it was breaking free…”

He gasped for air as he looked toward Cat Xue.
