Chapter 854: Chapter 852 Four-star Task

Seeing Lin Xuan’s shocked expression, Bing Ling calmly said, "You’re overthinking it. Do you think a Four-star Task is as common as cabbage?"

"Moreover, without a certain status and qualification, it’s very difficult to receive a Four-star Task."

"As for a million Spirit Stones, it’s actually not that much. If you can take on a Five-star Task, that’s when the rewards are truly terrifying."

"I’ve heard that just doing a Five-star Task once is at least five million Spiritual Value."

"Five million!"

Lin Xuan was astounded; completing such a task once could directly exchange for Earth-grade Martial Arts.

However, he knew that Five-star Tasks were even more challenging.

Then Bing Ling said, "Though the rewards for Five-star Tasks are extremely tempting, over these many years, only one person has been able to complete it."

"One person? Who is it?" Lin Xuan was very curious.

"Dugu Aotian!"

This time, Bing Ling’s expression finally changed, showing a very solemn demeanor.

Dugu Aotian!

Lin Xuan’s pupils also contracted; he had seen this name because it was ranked first on the Xuan Venerate List.

"Alright, let’s not discuss other things anymore; let’s talk about this task." Bing Ling said lightly.

"The task I took on is somewhat special, a treasure hunting mission, similar to that of the Ancient Treasure Cave, where you generally find Martial Arts Technique, Treasures, Elixir Pills, and such."

"We only need to turn over thirty percent of our acquired items to the Academy, and the rest is ours."

"Such treasure hunting missions are very popular because, in addition to gaining a lot of Spiritual Value, you can also obtain some ancient Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It’s a task that every Academy disciple wants to complete."

"Is there such a good thing!"

Lin Xuan was somewhat tempted, and that one million Spiritual Value reward was something he could not refuse.

He knew he had promised the Dark Red Divine Dragon to help him get that Dragon Blood.

The price of that Dragon Blood was very expensive, even more than Earth-grade Martial Arts, so this was indeed a great opportunity for Lin Xuan.

"Alright, I agree!" Lin Xuan nodded solemnly.

"I wonder who else is participating?" He had heard that this was a team task, so he wanted to inquire about other martial artists.

Bing Ling had long decided. Beside her, Xue Man said tenderly.

"Besides you, there are Ye Yan, who is ranked twenty-fifth on the Xuan Venerate List, and Yang Lin, ranked thirty-sixth."

"The last one is a fellow fresher like you, her name is Dongfang Fenghuang, I guess you should know her."

"Dongfang Fenghuang!"

Lin Xuan was surprised, he did not expect there to be another fresher joining besides him.

But why not Murong Qingcheng? If considering strength, presumably Murong Qingcheng’s strength was stronger.

As if sensing Lin Xuan’s confusion, Bing Ling explained, "Dongfang Fenghuang’s Martial Soul is somewhat special, which is why I chose her."

"I see." Lin Xuan nodded.

"If there is nothing else, we will depart in three days. When the time comes, you can meet at this Ice Spirit Valley, and we will head out together."

"Alright."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly, he was about to leave when suddenly a sound of something slicing through the air came from behind.

A figure, like a bolt of lightning, quickly arrived at Ice Spirit Valley.

This was a young man filled with wildness, dressed in beast clothes, with disheveled hair and piercing eyes, resembling a Demon Beast.

This young man landed, eyes scanning his surroundings. When he saw Lin Xuan, his expression immediately changed, his pupils contracted, and a glimpse of nervousness and apprehension appeared on his face.

Lin Xuan also saw him at this moment, but he raised a playful smile at the corners of his mouth.

This wild youth was none other than the Wolf who was sent flying a few days ago.

Lin Xuan did not expect to encounter him here at Ice Spirit Valley.

The Wolf, seeing the smile on Lin Xuan’s face, immediately snorted coldly, with a touch of chill in his eyes.

But he quickly restrained himself and then turned to Bing Ling, saying.

"Ice Crystal Fairy, I wonder if you’ve thought about what I said before?"

As he finished speaking, a strange brilliance flashed in Wolf’s eyes, appearing quite expectant.

Bing Ling, however, said calmly, "The last person has been chosen, it’s Lin Xuan."

"As for you, if there’s a chance, we can cooperate in the future."

"What? Lin Xuan!"

Upon hearing this, Wolf’s face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly turned his head, fiercely glaring at Lin Xuan, with both hands tightly clenched, his whole body trembling slightly.

He didn’t expect that the last slot in the treasure hunting mission went to Lin Xuan!

He was very unwilling, knowing that treasure hunting missions were incredibly popular, but at this moment, he could only give up because he couldn’t defeat either Bing Ling or Lin Xuan.

"Since that’s the case, then so be it, we can cooperate again if there’s a chance in the future."

Wolf cupped his fists and quickly flashed away, leaving Ice Spirit Valley.

...

Five thousand meters outside Ice Spirit Valley, there were some figures, seemingly waiting for something.

"He’s out!"

"So soon?"

These people looked up towards the sky.

"How did it go, was it successful?" one of them asked, looking at the landing Wolf.

"No, the last slot was taken." Wolf’s face was overcast, his voice icy.

"Someone dared to snatch the boss’s spot, could it be one of those guys in the top twenty?"

"No, it’s Lin Xuan." Wolf said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with murderous anger.

Upon hearing this, the others were also shocked, with a hint of apprehension on their faces.

They clearly remembered the life-and-death battle earlier, with Lin Xuan holding the Lonely Star Sword, instantly killing Yan Qingfeng.

Although most people thought that Lin Xuan’s victory was due to the Half Earth-grade Treasure.

But since the Treasure is part of a martial artist’s strength, as long as the Lonely Star Sword was with Lin Xuan, no one dared to touch him.

"Damn it, I can’t swallow this indignation!"

Wolf roared, his eyes blood-red, like a crazed beast.

"Boss, I have an idea that will surely make Lin Xuan die outside!"

"What idea? Quick, tell me!" Wolf asked.

"We can tell the Yan Family about Lin Xuan going out, given the Yan Family’s rage, they absolutely won’t spare him."

"No one can touch him inside the Academy, but once outside, with the Yan Family’s strength, killing him would be easy as pie."

"Even if the opponent has the Lonely Star Sword, he still won’t be able to resist."

"Good idea! Let’s do it!"

Wolf showed a sinister smile, "Lin Xuan, for provoking me, I will make your death very unpleasant."

The figures moved like lightning, quickly disappearing.

...

Three days later, Lin Xuan left the courtyard, setting out for Ice Spirit Valley.

Soon, he arrived again at the Ice Cold Valley.

This time, besides Bing Ling, there were several other figures in the valley.

Among them, one was entirely in flaming red, resembling a dancing flame. It was very striking in this world of ice and snow.

This fiery figure Lin Xuan recognized; it was Dongfang Fenghuang, a fellow fresher like him.

With a slight nod, Lin Xuan greeted Ice Crystal Fairy and Dongfang Fenghuang.

Then, he turned his gaze to the other two.
