BXBX NOVEL Chapter 144 - 112, Jiang Muyun, Enters the Radiation Island!
“I understand.”
Upon hearing Zhao Yunxiao say this, Zheng Cheng felt perplexed, but he agreed verbally nonetheless.
“Captain Yunxiao, if there’s nothing else, we’ll head to the Star-Locking Array now.”
“Wait a moment…!”
Zhao Yunxiao suddenly called out to them, “She’s on her way.”
“Who?”
“Jiang Muyun?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Cheng and the others saw a young girl with long, pliant, black hair and a dignified princess-style haircut, wearing a white dress adorned with red flowers, approach them, escorted by three shadows.
Jiang Muyun.
The daughter of the Master of Black Sun.
A Fallen One who was once immersed in darkness, but saw the light.
A heroine who has gifted us with many world wonders!
“Captain Yunxiao,” Jiang Muyun said sweetly, “I heard that among those participating in this year’s combined college entrance examination for new professionists, there are a few of our fellow Night Guards involved. I wonder if these are the ones?”
Zhao Yunxiao gave Zheng Cheng a look before replying, “Indeed, allow me to introduce them to you.”
“Zheng Cheng.”
“Oh, it’s Brother Zheng Cheng?” Jiang Muyun exclaimed in surprise, “I heard that the Secret Realm was cleared thanks to Brother Zheng Cheng’s contributions, and he even brought back several hundred Different Race corpses.”
“You’re truly impressive!”
Zheng Cheng smirked, said, “Just doing my duty…”
Meanwhile, he was already on high alert in his mind.
Normally speaking, he was the culprit behind the death of her mother.
It wouldn’t be unreasonable for them to be hostile to each other, but her enthusiasm was unexpected.
Given Jiang Muyun’s behavior, she was either a naive girl or a cunning hypocrite!
Zhao Yunxiao then introduced, “This is Yao Zhixue.”
“Sister Zhixue, I am your fan!”
Jiang Muyun said sweetly, “As a female nine-star professionist, I hope you can prove our worth and take the top spot in this year’s college entrance exam in Qinzhou Province.”
“We need to show those men that we girls are not to be trifled with!”
With that, she turned to Zheng Cheng and smiled, “Of course, Brother Zheng Cheng, I’m not talking about you. I’m only referring to other men.”
Yao Zhixue, who had been silent all along, moved her lips reluctantly but ultimately nodded in response.
With a suppressed smile, Zhao Yunxiao introduced their next member with a strange look in his eyes, “This is… Song Chaoyu.”
“Song Chaoyu… Sister.”
Jiang Muyun’s tone changed, her gaze suddenly turned sharp, but was quickly back to normal.
“Sister Song Chaoyu, it’s nice to meet you…”
Song Chaoyu retorted, “How glad are you?”
Jiang Muyun giggled, “So glad that I’d like to… eat you up~”
“Just kidding, Sister Chaoyu, we are going to be colleagues after all!”
Song Chaoyu’s guard went up a notch.
Her identity as a professionist was granted by none other than Jiang Muyun’s mother, the Master of Black Sun.
Who knows what she’s thinking? I need to find the right opportunity to teach this girl a lesson!
“And finally…” Zhao Yunxiao introduced, “Cai Shen.”
“Ah! I’ve heard of Brother Cai Shen, many people in the department are discussing him.” Jiang Muyun grinned, “They say that your profession, the first in over three hundred years, will definitely make you a significant person in the future!”
Hahaha…”
Like a pleased pig, Cai Shen grinned so comically that his eyes were almost closed.
“Really? Is that really what everyone’s saying?”
Jiang Muyun earnestly replied: “Absolutely! More real than my all-time favorite bubble tea!”
“Alright then,” Zhao Yunxiao interrupted them,”It’s about time, let’s make our way to the Star-Locking Array.”
“Sister Yunxiao, I wonder if Brother Zheng Cheng’s team still has any vacancies?”
Jiang Muyun suddenly suggested, “Perhaps we can form a team together, after all, we’re all Night Guards…”
“That’s not necessary!”
Song Chaoyu immediately rejected, “Our team is already full, we don’t need anyone else.”
“Oh, that’s too bad…”
“Let’s go!”
Taking Zheng Cheng’s arm, Song Chaoyu began walking toward the Star-Locking Array. Yao Zhixue and Cai Shen followed closely behind.
Zhao Yunxiao nodded, “Muyun, you should also get going. Be careful.”
“If anything happens, notify Captain Xu Qingfeng immediately, understand?”
Jiang Muyun respectfully replied, “Understood, Sister Yunxiao.”
After Zhao Yunxiao left, Jiang Muyun’s gaze remained the same.
Watching Zheng Cheng and his comrades leave, her eyes filled with curiosity.
“Miss!”
Behind Jiang Muyun, a large man suddenly spoke, “Why are you being so courteous to them?”
“That Zheng Cheng,” he continued, “was one of the killers of our master!”
“And Song Chaoyu, her profession might have come from our master…”
“Silence!”
Jiang Muyun’s gaze suddenly turned icy, and she sternly interrupted, “From now on, there’s no Black Sun Master, no ‘our master’!”
“Only the Night Guard Jiang Muyun, got it?”
“Yes… Miss!”
“And you two!”
Jiang Muyun then addressed the other two, “I just want a quiet life. Neither the Black Sun Church nor the Dawn Organization have anything to do with me!”
“If you have other plans, feel free to leave, there’s no need to stay with me!”
“Yes, Miss! We won’t dare!”
“Miss! You… We understand!”
“Miss, the upcoming College Entrance Examination for new professionists…”
“Of course we will participate!” Jiang Muyun said sternly, “Not only will we take part in the examination, but we will also aim for the title of ‘scholar’!”
“At the very least, we will secure a spot in the top three. Got it?”
“Yes, Miss!”
Zheng Cheng and the others walked toward the Star Lock Formation. All of a sudden, Song Chaoyu said, “I don’t like her.”
“Who?”
“Jiang Muyun.”
“I don’t like her either,” Yao Zhixue suddenly said.
“Why?”
“Her smile is fake,” Song Chaoyu frowned. “And I constantly feel… her gaze on me gives me the creeps, like she wants to eat me…”
“Fake? Really?”
Before Zheng Cheng could answer, Caiji replied first, “Don’t just blabber about. She’s our dear sister and not as evil as you’re making her out to be.”
“Scram!” Song Chaoyu barked. “Bootlicker, get lost!”
“Can’t you see that she’s a two-faced woman?”
“And she’s very good at it…”
Zheng Cheng scratched his head and said, “Alright, let it go. It’s time, let’s start the test.”
“At worst, we need to stay away from her, that’s all.”
“Hmph!”
“I want to spar with her,” Song Chaoyu retorted.
“You…”
“Brother Cheng!”
“Captain!”
“Captain! We’re over here!”
As they spoke, several calls echoed.
Chen Xiao, Chen Zixiong, and Yang Lie were eagerly waving in their direction.
Zheng Cheng waved back, “Let’s go, it’s about to start!”
Soon, over twenty thousand new Professionists stood and crowded the whole square.
Caiji suddenly asked curiously, “Brother Cheng, where are Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi?”
“They are the descendants of prestigious families and definitely have reserved spots. Why are you worrying unnecessarily?”
“Right.”
In the middle of the Star Lock Formation, there were ten fully armed professionists standing.
They were Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, Li Zhen, Li Jiao, and six other Professionists from prominent families.
Li Jiao looked into the distance, “Brother Zheng Cheng, be careful!”
“Don’t worry, Jiaojiao,” Li Zhen said, “Zheng Cheng… he won’t get into any trouble!”
“All new Professionists, get ready…!”
A majestic voice suddenly emanated from the Professionists Guild, and the ground started to glow with a brilliant white light.
“Teleportation will begin shortly. All personal space items will be sealed, and nobody is allowed to use space-related abilities.”
“Start teleportation…”
“Hum, hum, hum…”
The bright light beneath their feet suddenly exploded, engulfing the whole square and covering all new Professionists.
On the ground, the intricate patterns on the Star Lock Formation started to move like tadpoles.
The speed increased, the light grew brighter and finally shot straight up into the sky!
Simultaneously.
From a distance.
Throughout the Blue Star, within the scope of Xia Country, more than thirty beams of light shot into the sky.
Clouds dispersed, the air vibrated.
Countless people, looked up at the sky!
The bright gate of light gradually dissipated, and Zheng Cheng tentatively opened his eyes.
All he could see were heads crowded together.
He was standing in the same position as before, with Chen Xiao, Cai Shen, Yao Zhixue, and Song Chaoyu by his side.
But the ground beneath them had become rough and barren.
“Brother Cheng! Look, look at the sky!”
Zheng Cheng subconsciously looked up to see the once clear blue sky now incredibly dark.
Layers of thick black clouds hung over their heads like inverted mountains.
Even with his sight, he could see numerous shadows of creatures moving within those clouds.
A strange, fetid, choking smell lingered in the air.
For some reason, he felt an indescribable pressure coating his body.
His heartbeat began to speed up.
“Damn! Is this the Radiation Island planet?”
“So oppressive.”
“Look at the sky! Such thick black clouds, and are those monsters?”
“Radiation Island… we’re at Radiation Island?”
Hushed discussions and exclamations surrounded them, as the newly arrived Professionists reacted with shock and caution.
“Everyone, pay attention…!”
Suddenly, a stable voice echoed from the sky.
Zheng Cheng looked up to see hundreds of stone pillars standing around the clearing.
Each pillar was occupied by a figure.
They were too far away to see clearly.
“Welcome to the Radiation Island Planet! This is the exam venue for all new Professionists in Qinzhou Province… Izu Island!”
“I am your invigilator for this high school exam, Xu Qingfeng!”
No sooner had his voice faded than the Star Lock Formation on the ground started to flicker again.
A simple silver charm appeared in front of each candidate, floating slowly by their side.
“Xu Qingfeng?”
Zheng Cheng pondered, “Is he the Xu Qingfeng that Yunxiao warned me about?”
“I’m sure you’re all clear about the rules of this exam, so I won’t repeat them,” Xu Qingfeng’s voice continued. “This is a Teleportation Charm, one for each of you.”
“If you’re in mortal danger, tear open the charm, and you’ll be teleported back here.”
“The duration for this high school exam is ten days. After ten days, you should return here to end your exam.”
“I hope you all fight bravely, exterminate all the degenerates on Radiation Island, and not waste this opportunity!”
Xu Qingfeng’s tone became chilling, “Now, I announce… the start of the Radiation Island Race Purification Plan Branch, the Joint High School Examination for new Professionists!”
