God-Tier Awakening: The Dead Can Still Level Up

Chapter 7: Great Work

As Professor Liang approached Ruan Mei, she subconsciously straightened her posture, clearly expecting some praise after destroying the puppet in one move.

Yet the next moment, Professor Liang calmly took out a broom from his inventory and handed it to her.

"Student Ruan, next time, you better remember not to destroy school property," he said with a pleasant smile. "Now clean this properly, and after that, repair the other arenas too."

Hearing this, several students nearby immediately snickered while others simply shrugged as if they had already expected something like this.

Xingluo walked over and patted Ruan Mei’s shoulder consolingly, while Ruan Mei stared at the broom in her hand with a blank and slightly wronged expression.

After dealing with her, Professor Liang finally turned toward Xingluo and walked over with a more satisfied look in his eyes.

"Well, Student Luo, here is your well-deserved reward. It seems you have been practicing your combat skills quite properly."

As he said this, his eyes sharpened faintly, causing Xingluo to stiffen slightly before giving him a nervous smile and stretching out her hand.

Professor Liang did not expose anything and simply took out a mesmerizing red longsword from his inventory.

The sword shimmered faintly beneath the sunlight, and a golden gleam flowed across its blade, clearly showing its status as a Gold-grade weapon.

The moment Xingluo held it, even her breathing became slightly heavier because she had never owned something of this quality before.

"Well, I did not have a Level 70 weapon with me, so this one is Level 80 instead," Professor Liang said casually before handing her three small runes.

"Take these Dominion runes, they will let you use the sword until you reach the proper level."

Before Xingluo could feel too happy, Professor Liang’s smile deepened again. "But in exchange, you will participate in a combat competition for me later."

Hearing this, Xingluo’s expression became awkward at once, but she still nodded and agreed after looking at the sword in her hand

The moment Xingluo accepted the weapon, a cold chime suddenly rang beside Shen Wuxia’s ears.

[Mission Completed.]

[Anchor Luo Xingluo has received Professor Liang’s reward.]

[Anchor Trust Level has increased slightly.]

[System Activation Progress: 60%]

Seeing the final line, Shen Wuxia quietly released a breath before a small smile appeared on his face.

Hmm, it better activate quickly instead of floating around like useless decoration.

His gaze then shifted toward Xingluo, who was still staring at the Gold-grade Longsword in her hand with a faintly dazed expression.

Seeing her react like this over a single Gold-grade weapon, Shen Wuxia’s smile faded slightly before he sighed again.

There really is a vast difference between Beichen and Tianchen.

Even though Shen Wuxia had been an orphan, Tianchen University’s support alone had been enough for him to own a complete set of Gold-grade equipment and even a few items above that level.

But here, in Beichen University, a single Gold-grade weapon was enough to make an entire class risk Professor Liang’s demonic punishment without hesitation.

Only then did Shen Wuxia understand more clearly how limited Xingluo’s situation truly was.

Soon afterward, the class slowly dispersed because it was already break time, while Xingluo, Yun Xia, and Su Lan hurriedly helped Ruan Mei clean and repair the damaged arena.

While they worked, Xingluo kept throwing suspicious glances toward Shen Wuxia again and again before finally whispering under her breath.

"How the hell did you do that? Were you once a high-level player? Or are you here to usurp my body?"

Hearing her increasingly wild theories, even Shen Wuxia became speechless for a moment. How many webnovels does this girl read?

He ignored her imagination afterward and continued floating beside them until they finally finished cleaning everything.

After leaving the training grounds, the girls went to a nearby cafe for lunch, while Shen Wuxia silently followed behind them.

The moment they sat down, Yun Xia immediately slumped into her seat and grabbed the menu with both hands.

"I am starving. Whatever happens, Xingluo, today you have to treat us after receiving the once-in-a-century kindness of Demon Liang."

Xingluo looked at her nearly empty account balance and felt her heart bleed slightly, but in the end, she still gritted her teeth and agreed. "Okay, just do not destroy me completely. I am already on my last straw."

Hearing this, Yun Xia immediately started ordering with frightening speed, while Ruan Mei only ordered another drink and continued sipping quietly.

As dishes gradually filled the table, Shen Wuxia silently turned his head toward the falling snow outside the window, and Xingluo could not help chuckling after seeing his gloomy reaction.

But as she continued eating with her friends, a faint guilt slowly surfaced in her heart.

No matter how strange his existence was, without Shen Wuxia’s guidance, she would never have received that Gold-grade sword today.

Just then, Yun Xia suddenly bit into her food and asked casually, "So, are you going to the banquet organized by Young Master Qin tonight?"

Hearing Qin Haoran’s name, Shen Wuxia immediately turned his head back toward the table, while Xingluo nodded after a brief pause.

"Yeah, I need to go. It will also help me know some of the party members before the raid, and he invited me so sincerely that I cannot really reject him."

Yun Xia instantly became excited after hearing that and leaned closer with shining eyes. "Then what dress are you going to wear tonight?"

Xingluo’s face became slightly stiff as she looked at her in confusion. "What is the need to dress up for just a team banquet?"

Yun Xia pouted at once and said, "Why do you want to throw your opportunity down the drain, Xingluo? After classes, I will help you choose a suitable dress."

Xingluo only shrugged helplessly and said, "We will see," but the next moment, she suddenly felt a chill crawling up her back.

When she turned her eyes sideways, she saw Shen Wuxia staring at her with an expression so dark that it almost looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Her heart jumped slightly, and she quickly stood up from her seat while looking toward her friends. "I will come back in a bit, I just need to go to the washroom."

After entering the washroom, Xingluo closed the door behind her and immediately turned toward him with a frown. "What the hell was that? You nearly gave me a heart attack. What happened?"

Shen Wuxia stared at her for a moment before asking in a low voice, "You are going to Qin Haoran’s banquet tonight?"

Xingluo nodded with visible confusion. "And you are going alone?" She nodded again, but this time her expression became more guarded.

After confirming this, Shen Wuxia’s voice became heavier. "You should not go."

Hearing this, Xingluo frowned deeper and looked at him directly. "Why not?"

"You do not know Qin Haoran," Shen Wuxia replied without hesitation.

Xingluo’s confusion slowly turned into frustration because ever since morning, Shen Wuxia had reacted badly whenever Qin Haoran’s name appeared.

She took a breath and said in a lower voice, "I do not know what kind of enmity you had with Qin Haoran, but please do not interfere with me."

Shen Wuxia froze slightly after hearing the sudden heaviness in her voice. "My mother’s life depends on this raid," Xingluo continued, her fists slowly tightening at her sides.

"If this raid succeeds, he has promised everyone one million credits, and that money is enough to treat my mother."

Her eyes reddened faintly, but her voice remained stubborn as she looked at him. "If you do not know, then learn it now. She is dying because of a chronic poison, and her level has already fallen from 169 to just 109."

Shen Wuxia’s expression changed slightly, yet Xingluo did not stop there. "My dad is already in a terrible situation trying to keep everything together, so please do not bother me about this anymore."

Hearing this, Shen Wuxia tried to speak, but the words stopped at his throat before they could come out.

He understood very clearly that telling her anything directly would only make the situation worse, especially when Qin Haoran was extremely good at manipulating people through their weaknesses.

But at the same time, he was also shocked by the condition Xingluo had been hiding until now.

He thought about his alliance account and the credits still stored inside it, yet no matter how much he wanted to help, he could not casually reveal his real identity to her.

In the end, Shen Wuxia could only sigh silently and follow her out of the washroom while thinking about whether there was any other way.

Xingluo did not speak to him again, and the silence between them became heavier as they returned to the cafe table.

By the time Xingluo reached the table, the others had nearly finished eating already. Su Lan looked up at her and quickly said, "Hurry up, Xingluo, the next classes are going to start soon."
