Dashing Student-Chapter 1119 - 1118: Come to My Room

Directly becoming a formal assassin has precedents in the history of Yama Hall, but it’s always been reserved for exceptionally gifted prodigies.

The potential Chen Nan showed is barely enough.

So, after the iceberg-faced Elder suggested it, the other Elders remained silent for a moment.

"Since Elder Han has spoken, we naturally have no objections."

Elder Han nodded, turning to face all the candidate assassins.

"Chen Han did well; the goal of an assassin is to kill the target, and any means to that end are acceptable."

"Moreover, Chen Han is the only one who successfully assassinated One-eyed. We have decided that Chen Han does not need further training and will directly become a formal assassin of Yama Hall."

Then, he tossed a token, which slowly fell into Chen Nan’s hand.

The token was engraved with "D-level 9527".

Chen Nan was somewhat surprised, not expecting to achieve his first goal so quickly; next comes the effort to accumulate merit points to exchange for the Heaven-Slaying Art.

Before he obtains the Heaven-Slaying Art, he must suppress the influence of the Qilin Technique, so he should avoid killing as much as possible.

"You have one month, and then head to Forget Sorrow Forest; you can receive missions there."

Elder Han also threw Chen Nan a map, which marked "Forget Sorrow Forest" as a secret realm not far from Immortal Camel City.

Chen Nan understood that this was likely a gathering point for Yama Hall assassins.

The one-month period was to see if he could indeed kill One-eyed.

One-eyed is already old; although he was a B-level killer when young, he now can only handle insignificant tasks. Being killed by a junior might be the best end.

Of course, if Chen Nan fails and dies by One-eyed’s hand, Elder Han and others won’t say much, given he’s merely a D-level assassin.

The group boarded a flying boat, quickly returning to the secret realm, where candidate assassins would continue their training while Chen Nan was focused on killing One-eyed.

Upon returning, Qing You approached Chen Nan.

"Chen Han, congratulations."

In the past month, his relationship with Chen Nan had gotten much closer.

"It’s alright." Chen Nan modestly smiled, thinking that were it not for Yama Hall’s secret technique, he wouldn’t have hidden his cultivation to come here.

His true cultivation also improved in the month, advancing from the first layer early stage to the first level middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

The consequence was near depletion of his spirit stones and elixir pills.

Luckily, this time, Zhang Mu sent him part of the Zhang Family’s wealth, amassing millions of low-grade spirit stones and tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones.

The other elixir pills, of course, were enough for Chen Nan’s continuous cultivation for a month.

"Chen Han, I will strive to cultivate and aim to keep up with you, so you must wait for me."

After Qing You spoke, her face flushed red, yet she bravely looked into Chen Nan’s eyes.

Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, then reacted, appearing that his several times of saving Qing You from One-eyed had won her heart.

He wanted to explain but didn’t know where to start, so he just gave up.

Perhaps letting her keep such a sentiment would enable her to live strongly amidst the cruel Yama Hall.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you."

While the two were conversing, One-eyed staggered over to Chen Nan, his face gloomy and eyes fierce.

"I heard you killed the Zhang Family head? And you intend to kill me?"

Chen Nan was fearless, locking eyes with him, "Yes, you will definitely die."

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?" One-eyed harshly questioned, gritting his teeth.

This was not only disregarding him but outright humiliating him!

"You can try."

Chen Nan sneered, showing no sign of backing down.

After a prolonged stare, One-eyed suddenly laughed.

"Haha, very interesting; I await your attempt to kill me. By then, even if I kill you, I think the Elders will say nothing."

Shortly after, he turned and left, clenched his fist so hard that his nails dug into his palm.

Qing You and others finally breathed easy after they left, "You truly aren’t afraid of him?"

"What is there to be afraid of?" Chen Nan smiled slightly, "I’m now a formal assassin and younger and more promising than One-eyed."

"And One-eyed is already old; to Yama Hall, he is a waste. If he dares to kill me, Yama Hall won’t spare him, so he doesn’t dare make a move on me."

"I see." Qing You nodded, looking at Chen Nan with admiration, "You’re very clever; I couldn’t think of any of this."

"But how do you plan to kill One-eyed? He’s a Great Cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, after all."

"I’ll need your help for that." Chen Nan leaned over to Qing You’s ear and whispered something.

Qing You’s expression constantly changed before ultimately nodding.

In the following month, One-eyed’s nerves remained tension-tight, fearing Chen Nan might attempt to assassinate him any time.

Yet Chen Nan made no move, dedicating the month entirely to cultivation, almost depleting the spirit stones and elixir pills brought from the Zhang Family.

His cultivation once more advanced from the first layer middle stage to directly entering the later stage, and superficially from Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer to Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer.

On the last day of the month, One-eyed sneered coldly as he watched Chen Nan’s silhouette.

"Last day, Chen Han; what means do you have?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Nan seemed to forget about it, bidding farewell to other candidate assassins, and then leaving the secret realm directly for another secret realm, Forget Sorrow Forest.

"Did he...give up?"

One-eyed felt uneasy, harboring an inexplicable fear of Chen Nan deep within.

Yet Chen Nan indeed departed.

"Could it be he felt he couldn’t succeed in assassinating me and decided to give up? No matter what, I’m a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm. Chen Han is but a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator; even if he’s a genius, so what?"

Thinking this, One-eyed became happy again, and with Chen Nan gone, who could protect Qing You!

"Zhu Yeqing, come to my room!"

One-eyed shouted towards Qing You afar, waiting in his room.

He had long coveted Qing You. Now that Chen Nan was gone, there was no longer any hesitation.

Though his nerves were taut for a month, leaving him somewhat weary, he feared prolonged delay, aiming to capture his prize without further ado.

Soon, Qing You arrived in One-eyed’s room, sensibly closing the door behind her.

This gave One-eyed a thrill of conquest, making him laugh uncontrollably, "You’re smarter than that boy, Chen Han. Don’t worry; as long as you satisfy me, I will definitely take care of you."

He gazed at Qing You with lustful, practically drooling eyes, presenting an utterly lecherous demeanor!
