Yang Hu was unaware of Mu Ruoxue's thoughts.
At this moment, he was already sitting in the back seat of Li Yang's car, lost in deep thought.
After learning Mu Ruoxue's identity, he immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.
It was the feeling that things were slipping out of his control for the first time since he awakened the system.
As for trusting Mu Ruoxue's word?
Yang Hu sneered.
Why should he entrust his safety to that?
Just because she was a pretty girl who looked innocent?
Impossible.
"Should I reveal my identity to the major families?" Yang Hu suddenly had this thought.
Being exposed could put someone in danger, but it could also protect them.
What if the Mu family learned that they were the only ones who knew his secret as an alchemist and decided to kidnap him or something similar?
One must not forget that Yang Hu had no record of his strength or alchemy within the Martial Alliance.
If the Mu family wanted to monopolize this secret and kidnap him, locking him up to make alchemy for them, what then?
There would be no force to balance them or try to protect him in order to gain his favor.
But if all the major families knew this secret, it would be very unlikely for any of them to use force.
Because that would give the perfect opportunity for another family to step in and protect him, only creating hostility.
Although such a situation was very rare, it would require a series of factors.
Mu Ruoxue would have to truly report this to the Mu family, the Mu family would have to investigate everything about him, and then decide to kidnap him.
And even if they tried, with his strength as a Grand Master, even without combat experience, unless it was a peak level Grand Master, it would be hard not to cause a commotion.
But Yang Hu knew he could not gamble with his life.
Especially since he still had a younger sister whom he needed to protect.
Yang Hu had already made up his mind.
In the next few days, he would personally train Yang Mingxue until she became a warrior, so he could finally have another chance to summon again.
Otherwise, he truly would not be able to rest easy.
At the very least, the strength of a Martial King was required.
After all, there was the city lord and the commander of the city defense army.
These were the only two Martial Kings and the highest combat power in Luoyang City.
After calming his mind, Yang Hu's eyes turned toward the car window.
There stood an enormous building, perhaps the tallest in the city.
The Martial Alliance branch.
'Soon it would be Xiao Xue's turn to go there and register as a warrior.'
***
At this moment, inside the Martial Alliance, there were two girls, both rubbing their hands, visibly nervous.
Suddenly, a middle aged woman with a gentle expression and an employee uniform stepped forward.
"Yang Bingxue, you are next," the woman announced.
Then she hesitated before trying to give advice once more.
"Girl, I really advise you not to participate, at least not today."
"Today's examiner really hates prodigies who try to pass the test before reaching the Warrior level."
"If it were another examiner, there would not be much of a problem. They would be lenient, but today's examiner…"
The woman paused. At the same time, Li Siyao's heart raced.
"What is wrong with today's examiner?"
"Today's examiner has a nickname, Student Demon," the woman muttered softly.
"Student Demon? Why?" Yang Mingxue, who had been silent, finally asked.
Seeing Yang Mingxue's expression change, the woman let out a sigh of relief and continued.
"I do not know the reason, but every time a nine star martial apprentice faces him, he becomes a different person, consumed by endless hatred."
"The problem is not just that he does not hold back and strikes to injure or even cripple people."
"In his words, a person so arrogant will undoubtedly die once they leave the city, so crippling them is saving their life."
"What?" Li Siyao's expression changed drastically. She tugged at Yang Mingxue's shirt and whispered, "Mingxue, it is better not to. Let us leave."
"This…" Yang Mingxue hesitated.
Hearing those words, she inevitably wavered.
Crippled?
If she truly became crippled, how could she take care of her brother?
Would she remain a burden forever?
"But if I give up, I can only try again in a month?" Yang Mingxue asked timidly.
She knew that if she lost, she could only schedule another test after a month.
But since this woman had mentioned the possibility, perhaps it was possible to reschedule to another date?
Thinking this, she looked at the middle aged woman with hope.
However, the staff member's next words threw her into an abyss.
"No. It would be one month if you were defeated, but if you give up, you can only take the test again after six months," the middle aged woman said, with a trace of regret.
Every time, people asked the same thing, and after hearing the required time, they rarely changed their minds.
After all, six months was more than enough for most people to become an initial level warrior.
That meant that even after breaking through, it would be impossible to come back and register as a warrior.
And without registration, not to mention the ten thousand yuan subsidy.
They would be forbidden from leaving the city to hunt monsters, since they would not have a warrior certificate.
Therefore, even knowing they would face someone extremely cruel, it was better to risk defeat than to be unable to register for six months.
"Then I have to participate," Yang Mingxue decided.
