Just as Ye Fei could not help but fantasize about how his future life would change if he was able to obtain such a large sum of money, Ling Xuewei began to mumble in her heart.

“What should I do, what should I do… Should I tell him that it’s been more than a hundred years since the school was founded, but no one has ever received that sum of money?”

“Will it seem like I’m pouring cold water on him if I tell him?”

“Will my Prince Charming think that I am looking down on his strength?”

Ling Xuewei’s face was cold on the surface, but her heart was in a crazy dilemma.

Ye Fei asked her, “What’s the ferocious beast locked up on the top floor? What’s its level?”

He was very curious about what kind of powerful ferocious beast it was that no one had been able to defeat it for more than a hundred years.

Ling Xuewei replied, “It seems to be a dragon…”

“I heard that it’s a level eight dragon-type beast master, the famous Gondola’s pet. Because it failed to evolve, it was personally sealed in the beast tower by gondola…”

Ye Fei muttered, “So it’s actually Master Gondola’s former pet… No wonder no one has been able to defeat it.”

Ling Xuewei said, “Yeah! I heard that there was a senior in the last batch who was especially powerful. She was publicly recognized as the strongest newcomer King, even more outstanding than the previous batch of newcomers.”

“Even the teachers had high hopes for her. They felt that she might be able to break through the hundred-year-old school’s history of not being able to clear the subdued beast tower and become the first student to successfully clear it.”

“But unfortunately, even for a genius like her, she only managed to reach the eighth level in the end. She didn’t even manage to reach the ninth level…”

Speaking of this, Ling Xuewei’s voice was filled with regret. “It would be great if she could persevere until the ninth level. At the very least, she would be able to leave behind a recording of what Master Gondola’s Dragon looked like…”

Ye Fei said, “Maybe we’ll be able to see it this year.”

Ling xuewei shook her head and said, “I’m afraid not… I’ve specifically asked around. There are a few students who are most likely to become the rookie king this year. Their strength and level are still a lot lower than that senior from last year.”

“Senior hasn’t even reached the eighth floor, so it’s even more impossible for them.”

Ye Fei said, “You’re still missing one person.”

“Who?”

Ye Fei pointed at himself with a smile.

“Me.”

Ling Xuewei was stunned.

She started screaming crazily in her heart, “Ahhhhhh, my Prince Charming is so handsome! My Prince Charming is so handsome!”

“My confident Prince Charming is so adorable!”

She was just like a little fangirl.

Ye Fei even felt like he was a celebrity.

However, this little fangirl was still a prideful girl. Even though she was so excited that she was about to die, she still pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

“You don’t even know the rules of the trial, yet you’re saying that you can reach the highest level. You’re too confident…”

“How about this? Let’s form a team tomorrow. I’ll take you. I can also explain the rules to you at the same time, so that you won’t be eliminated if you break the rules before you reach the highest level.”

Rose thought to herself, “Prince Charming will take me along! I want to go to the top level too!”

Ye Fei laughed. “Okay.”

After sending Ling Xuewei off, Ye Fei went to Qing Kui’s house to have dinner as promised.

He originally wanted to comfort Qing Kui. After all, he had indeed given her the cold shoulder back at the shop.

Unexpectedly, Qing Kui was so carefree that she seemed to have forgotten that little bit of unhappiness.

During the meal, she casually asked, “Shall we team up for the trial tomorrow?”

“Uh…”

Ye Fei was instantly embarrassed.

He had already agreed to team up with Ling Xuewei…

He had also already given Qing Kui the cold shoulder in the shop, which made her unhappy. If he rejected her team invitation because of Ling Xuewei again, it would probably hurt her even more.

Sensing Ye Fei’s hesitation, Qing Kui asked, “What’s wrong? Do you want to challenge the level alone? It will be very difficult, but it’s up to you.”

She had never forced Ye Fei to do anything.

Ye Fei wanted to say that he would challenge the level alone, but such a lie would be exposed when he arrived at the scene tomorrow, so what was the point?

There was no other way, so he could only tell the truth.

“I’ve already agreed to team up with Ling Xuewei…”

Afraid that Qing Kui would be upset, Ye Fei especially emphasized, “After all, she helped me apply for admission. It’s not too good to reject her, so I can only agree.”

Qing Kui made an ‘oh’ and did not say anything else, but her expression was clearly a little disappointed.

Seeing her like this, Qing Kui’s father asked, “Can only two people form a team in your trial?”

“Nope. A team can have four people at most,” Qing Kui said.

“Then why don’t you join us too! What’s there to be unhappy about such a small matter!” Qing Kui’s dad was also a carefree person. He could not bear to see his daughter upset over a small matter.

Ye Fei quickly said, “Right, right, right. Qing Kui, you should join us too! The more the merrier! Who knows, we might be able to break through to the top!”

Qing Kui finally smiled and said, “Then I’ll have to think carefully about how to spend the bonus when the time comes.”

She was not a pretentious person. At least Ye Fei did not forget about her, and she felt comfortable in her heart.

The next day, a certain rich second generation heir who had been forgotten accused in grief and indignation, “Ye Fei! You’re a person who has girls but has no humanity!”

“You only want to form a group with a girl! What about me? What about me?”

“Don’t tell me I’m not your friend? Why didn’t you form a group with me! Why?!”

Based on the way he questioned him, those who did not know would probably think that he had been abandoned.

Ye Fei could not afford to lose this person.

“Group up! Quickly shut up!”

Thus, Ye Fei inexplicably formed a four-person team.

He even inexplicably became the team leader.

“I just entered the school, so I don’t know anything… all of you entered the school earlier than me, so why do you want me to be the team leader?”

The three of them said in unison, “Because you’re the best fighter.”

What an irrefutable reason.

The other students were also forming their own teams, and people kept shouting —

“I beg a trainer with a defensive pet!”

“I’m looking for a student with a control skill!”

“I’m looking for a healer, I’m looking for a healer! Third Class, First Class!”

..

Ye Fei realized that the other party members were very focused on matching their skills with each other.

No one was as casual as them.

Ye Fei felt that it was necessary to properly formulate a strategy first.

He already had a control skill, and his damage output was also outstanding. All that was left was defense and healing.

Actually, healing could also rely on his healing mix. In any case, he had a lot of free time to train, so it should be enough.

All that was left was a character with rough skin and thick flesh who could charge in front and resist the damage.

“Which one of your pets has better resistance?” Ye Fei asked.

The other three looked at each other.

Green sunflower said, “My Whitey is a strength-type. He walks the path of damage. His defense is average at best.”

Ling Xuewei said, “My Xiao Wei is a control-type. You’ve seen her before.”

Ye Fei had not only seen her pet, but also her weak combat prowess.
