The two fought for nearly ten minutes, ultimately ending in a draw, neither able to gain an advantage over the other for the time being.
Logically, Yun Qiaoqiao should have more combat experience than Guan Yang, and she should have had the upper hand, but Guan Yang's inheritance was also something that had never appeared before, and she hadn't really fought much with people before, spending most of her time killing mutated beasts.
Guan Yang was also in the same situation; facing a Knight inheritance that had never appeared in this world, he was also somewhat constrained, so the two were evenly matched.
After a true head-to-head battle, both gained an initial understanding of the other's strength, then stopped.
Seeing them stop, Lu Chenxing didn't say much, because both of their combat levels were very high, and they performed very well in battle, so he didn't need to add anything.
After the match ended, everyone left the second basement floor together and headed to the first-floor lobby.
When everyone was seated on the sofa, Yu Ziyue took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Actually, the main reason I came today was because I learned that Xiao Hao, this child, has comprehended the power of rules. This achievement is inseparable from Boss Lu's help, so I've prepared some things to thank Boss Lu."
"President Yu, you are too kind," Lu Chenxing said with a smile, holding Xiao Zhi and sitting opposite her. "His ability to comprehend the power of rules is mostly not because of me, but because his cultivation talent is excellent. I merely lent a helping hand."
"Alright, Boss Lu, let's not be so polite here. You know me, there's no reason to take back something I've given," Yu Ziyue said with a smile. "What's more, I'll still need your care for him in the future, so you must accept this."
As she spoke, she took out a specially made transparent card and handed it to Lu Chenxing, smiling mysteriously, "This is a spatial teleportation card. Boss Lu, take some time to look at it. I've put the things inside, and you should like them."
Since she had said so much, Lu Chenxing accepted it and thanked her, "Then I thank President Yu very much."
"It should be me thanking you. Boss Lu has taken so much trouble for our Xiao Hao."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yu Ziyue prepared to leave with Guo Jiahao, mainly because Little Fatty was eager to go back for practical combat training, so he was urging his mother to go home.
After they left, Lu Chenxing let out a long sigh, looked at the sun, which was already halfway through the morning, and took Xiao Zhi, Guan Yang, and Yun Qiaoqiao to the Super Martial Arts Academy. He wanted to thoroughly supplement his knowledge base; he had originally planned to come early in the morning, but unexpectedly, he was delayed again.
The spatial array flickered, and the figures of the four appeared on the side of the school library. Guan Yang went to class, while Yun Qiaoqiao went to audit the courses she needed. Now that she had the qualification to audit classes at a top-tier university, she couldn't waste it.
The university she had graduated from before was a very small school, very different from this kind of top-tier university, so she still planned to look around.
As for Lu Chenxing, he took Xiao Zhi directly to the library; he already felt his thirst for this knowledge!
······
At the same time, on the other side, Yan Pingsha had already brought Wang Hu and Lu Hai to the Nufeng Guild's base.
The Nufeng Guild's base is on the outskirts of Loshen City. The main building does not cover a large area; it is smaller than the Paper House and is not in the style of a manor, but rather a shop-style storefront, though the interior decoration is quite spacious.
The interior also utilized spatial technology to expand, so there was no cramped feeling.
When Yan Pingsha brought the two into the Nufeng Guild's base, a pretty girl sitting at the front desk playing with her phone looked up. Seeing that it was her, a hint of surprise and a touch of panic flashed in her eyes.
But when she saw the two unfamiliar faces behind her, looking left and right, an unusual expression flashed across the girl's face, but then she put on a friendly smile, quickly stood up, and greeted, "Sister Yan, you're back?"
Seeing the girl at the front desk, Yan Pingsha was also a little surprised, "A Lai? Are your family matters taken care of?"
This girl named A Lai was one of Yan Pingsha's good friends at the Nufeng Guild before, and she was the one Yan Pingsha had contacted to go on the promotion mission together, but A Lai had said she had something to do.
Originally, Yan Pingsha had said she could wait until they were done, and then they could go together, but A Lai said she had family matters and might not be able to return for a short time, at least a month or more.
How long had it been, though? She was already sitting idly at the front desk.
"Ah... finished, finished!" A Lai said repeatedly, then immediately changed the subject, "Who are these two Sister Yan brought?"
"It's good that you're finished," Yan Pingsha said with a normal expression, seemingly not noticing anything amiss, which made A Lai breathe a sigh of relief.
"These two are freelancers from Tianyuan City. This is Wang Hu, and this is Lu Hai. They plan to stay and develop in Loshen City from now on, so I'm here to introduce them to join the guild."
Yan Pingsha introduced the two to A Lai. Wang Hu greeted her a bit shyly, "Hello, little sister."
Hearing that they were new recruits joining the guild, and from Tianyuan City, A Lai immediately became energized. She quickly invited the two to sit down, handed each of them a piece of paper, and said enthusiastically, "Guests who have come all the way from Tianyuan City, welcome! And thank you for choosing our guild!"
"But before you join the guild, we will ask you some questions. Do the two of you mind?"
Wang Hu and the other man quickly shook their heads, "No problem, ask away!"
Every guild actually has a similar process, mainly to avoid recruiting unscrupulous people who might damage the guild's image.
Upon hearing this, A Lai looked at Yan Pingsha, saw her sitting in the waiting area as usual, waiting for the results, and seemingly not angry with her. This made her feel relieved, but at the same time, a hint of mockery crept into her heart.
However, A Lai could not show it in front of her. Instead, she began to inquire about Wang Hu and Lu Hai's basic information.
After asking, A Lai naturally began to inquire about their recent situation, "May I ask why the two of you came to Loshen City?"
"We came with my second sister. She has some other reasons to stay in Loshen City, so we also have to accompany her in Loshen City," Wang Hu said truthfully.
"Oh, so your family members aren't here?" A Lai asked casually.
"No, my second sister and I don't have any family left. As for the third one, his family isn't in this city either."
"In that case, there's one last question," A Lai asked with a smile, "Why did you choose our guild?"
After Wang Hu and Lu Hai exchanged glances, they replied helplessly, "To be honest, we've actually been to other guilds, including guilds in Tianyuan City, but we didn't pass their tests because our strength is a bit... too ordinary."
Lu Hai also whispered, "This time, Miss Yan said that the Nufeng Guild could accept us, that's why we came..."
Their words conveyed a lack of confidence, completely without any trace of acting, which made the smile on A Lai's face widen.
