Chapter 6

A wanderer has no home.

When Zhou Xuan returned to his residence, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

During this time, he had been practicing in the Demon Suppressing Tower, except for when he ate dinner.

Since he was just a laborer, the academy did not provide him with a dormitory. Therefore, for the past month, he had been renting a place in the Biji neighborhood outside the Demon Suppressing Academy.

At the time, he and Song Fan had found the place together.

Song Fan lived across the hall, but he had a dormitory at the Demon Suppressing Academy and rarely came here.

Zhou Xuan remembered that Song Fan had come three times this month, each time with a different female companion.

When he returned tonight, he saw Song Fan's pet, a two-and-a-half-meter-long Siberian Husky, in the bushes downstairs, accompanied by a small female wolf.

The air was filled with the scent of spring.

After he went upstairs, he indeed encountered Song Fan and the female student he had seen at noon, who was quite attractive.

It was obvious that Song Fan had a new companion.

"Xiao Xuan, why are you back so late? Did you go on a date?" Song Fan looked at Zhou Xuan with a smile. "Bring your companion back and let us meet her."

Without a doubt, he was showing off his companion.

The woman was named Chen Yuru, tall and slender, with fair skin and eyes that seemed to devour people.

Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly. "I remember the companion you brought back the night before last wasn't this one."

Song Fan was clearly taken aback.

Then he quickly put his arm around Chen Yuru and said, "That was the past. Now, Yuru is my true love."

Chen Yuru didn't get angry when she heard this; instead, she looked at Song Fan with a smile and said meaningfully, "Why don't we call her over to play a game of Landlord?"

Song Fan: "..."

At that moment, he was a bit flustered. "Really?"

Could there be such a good thing?

Chen Yuru smiled even more brightly and said, "Of course, and I can call my ex too."

Song Fan: "..."

Chen Yuru left.

Before she left, she patted Song Fan's chest and said, "Actually, you're just average."

"What do you mean, average?" Song Fan was momentarily at a loss.

"You just feel average to me." Chen Yuru said and left.

Song Fan stood at the door, watching Chen Yuru leave, and was dazed for a long time.

Suddenly, he looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "I'm already a two-star Gold-level Demon Hunter, so strong and powerful. How can I be just average?!"

Clearly, he found it hard to accept such an evaluation.

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Otherwise, I can help you call your ex or your ex-ex to boost your confidence," he teased.

"Go away." Song Fan didn't have the habit of going back to his exes.

"Just average, just average." The words echoed in his ears, and he felt as if he had taken a thousand hits, starting to doubt himself.

"Let's have a drink." He looked at Zhou Xuan with a bitter face.

Zhou Xuan waved his hand. "I'm from the countryside and don't have money to buy alcohol."

"I have alcohol in my room." Song Fan said and went back to his room.

Zhou Xuan didn't go in and shouted, "I don't want to watch your battlefield. Let's drink in my room."

The two drank a lot, until one o'clock in the morning.

When Song Fan returned to his room, he was still muttering about feeling "average."

It really hurt.

Zhou Xuan even suspected that this guy might have a psychological shadow.

Although he went to bed late, he got up at 6:30.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. He wanted to sign in quickly.

After washing up, he arrived at Ruyi Breakfast Shop at seven o'clock.

When the owner, Liu Ruyi, saw him, she was pleasantly surprised: "Four-star Silver, Xiao Zhou, you've advanced?"

Of course, what she saw was Zhou Xuan's disguised level. She couldn't see that his real level was already nine-star Silver.

This was the subtlety of the Turtle Breath Technique.

"Yes, I was lucky," Zhou Xuan said with a smile. "Fortunately, I advanced, or I wouldn't even have the qualifications to work in the Demon Suppressing Tower."

"It's good that you advanced." Liu Ruyi nodded.

She was somewhat surprised that Zhou Xuan could advance while working in the Demon Suppressing Tower, which was quite difficult.

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Xuan went to the academy and arrived at the evaluation office.

He was very confident about this month's evaluation.

First, he had advanced in level. Second, he had always arrived early and left late, working diligently and responsibly.

Sure enough, the instructor at the evaluation office announced his passing after just two minutes.

Then, the instructor said meaningfully, "Zhou Xuan, there are many demons on the first floor. You'll have to work hard."

"I'm not afraid of hard work," Zhou Xuan quickly responded. "I'm grateful to the academy for giving me this opportunity. I will work hard."

Just as he was about to leave, Song Fan arrived on his Siberian Husky.

"Do you need to be evaluated too?" he asked, somewhat surprised.

Song Fan shook his head. "I just need to register to collect resources."

He was different from Zhou Xuan.

He had a senior instructor guiding him and various resources to support his cultivation. Each time he advanced, he received a reward.

A month ago, he was eight-star Silver. Now, he had advanced to one-star Gold. His cultivation speed was fast, surpassing many people.

Moreover, his Star Soul was a Silver Moon Wolf. The Silver Moon Wolf is a high-level demon beast that can evolve into a Silver Moon Wolf King and has the potential to become a Wolf God.

Therefore, Song Fan had a bright future.

After registering, he patted Zhou Xuan's shoulder and said, "Congratulations on your advancement. I'm glad you stayed. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I'll do my best to help."

Zhou Xuan nodded. "Thanks in advance."

He was different from Song Fan.

He had no instructor to guide him and no resources from the academy to support him. He could only occasionally attend classes.

However, he had the Unscientific Sign-in System. He was confident that he wouldn't fall behind students like Song Fan.

Without further delay, he left the evaluation office and headed straight for the Demon Suppressing Tower.

He opened the door to Room 6 and saw the Big-Headed Tiger Demon practicing diligently.

The Big-Headed Tiger Demon had a nine-star Silver level, with a tough hide. After a night of rest, his injuries were mostly healed.

"Want to fight?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"No, I surrender. I won't fight you," the Big-Headed Tiger Demon shook his large head and obediently lay down.

Although he wasn't human, he wasn't stupid, and his face still hurt.

Zhou Xuan smiled when he saw the Big-Headed Tiger Demon's obedience.

He liked those who listened.

"Follow me." He said, removing the Demon Suppressing Stone from the door.

"Sure thing." The Big-Headed Tiger Demon nodded eagerly.

He had thought about escaping, but knew it would mean certain death.

So, he obediently followed Zhou Xuan to the door of Room 7, standing guard for him.

In Room 7, the mermaid's lower half was submerged in a pool, with only her enchanting face visible.

When she saw Zhou Xuan, she didn't start singing to launch a mental attack.

Because she also saw the Big-Headed Tiger Demon behind Zhou Xuan, and even her seductive singing would be futile.

Zhou Xuan stood at the door and beckoned to the mermaid.

The mermaid, wrapped in a mist, obediently came over.

Zhou Xuan reached out and lifted her chin, saying softly, "You really look like Yan Lingji."

As he touched the mermaid, a voice from the system sounded in his ear: "Ding, target detected. Do you want to sign in?"
