Chapter 567 - Plain Looking (1/2)

After training his skills a while longer, Nie Yan looked at the clock. The servers were shutting down soon.

Nie Yan checked his progress: Reverse Grip Backstab was at Rank 6, 35%; Counter at Rank 6, 12%; Flicker Strike at Rank 6, 67%; Phantom Assassination at Rank 6, 95%; and Backbreaker at Rank 8, 56%. All five Freedom Skills had reached at least Rank 6.

Glancing at his skill bar, Nie Yan’s eyes focused on a certain skill. “I wonder if it’s possible to raise the rank of Steal in this map.”

The higher the rank, the greater the success rate of Steal. The Steal skill of most Thieves was Rank 3 or lower. If Nie Yan could raise it to Rank 6, it would surely be useful! Steal was a supplementary skill from one of the fragments of Sulgata’s Shadow. Once the fragment became bound to him, he could obtain skill proficiency in Steal.

If using Steal here also gave 50x skill proficiency, this was a good opportunity to raise its rank.

Once the time came Nie Yan exited Conviction and left his game capsule.

Xie Yao also happened to step outside of her game capsule at the same time. She wore a pink lace nightgown which exposed her delicate jade-like shoulders. The tight clothing accentuated her flawless figure, most noticeably her ample bosom which overflowed with sex appeal.

“Nie Yan, isn’t today the first day of class?” Xie Yao suddenly recalled, knitting her delicate brows. She had nearly forgotten something so important.

Nie Yan withdrew his gaze and nodded. “Yeah, it’s today. We should check in.”

“We only have an hour. I’ll hurry up and change.” Xie Yao grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom.

Rustling sounds came from the other side of the frosted glass door. Lustful thoughts sprouted in Nie Yan’s mind as he watched Xie Yao’s silhouette. Shaking his head clear with a smile, he also went to put on some clothes.

Inside the washroom, Xie Yao stood completely naked on the rug. Her fair legs resembled marble sculptures.

Taking off her nightgown, Xie Yao was filled with nervousness. What if Nie Yan barged in here right now? She couldn’t trust him not to misbehave. Glancing back outside, it appeared he was in the middle of changing his clothes. She breathed a sigh of a relief. Though a faint trace of disappointment flashed in her heart.

The Top Military Academy had no shortage of outstanding beauties. Thinking about the possibility that Nie Yan would fall for another girl, Xie Yao’s mind became clouded with dark thoughts.

Xie Yao looked down at her body. Even though it couldn’t compare to Jiang Yingyu’s, it wasn’t that far off. Most recently, she could tell certain areas of her body had become much more developed. Her skin cast a supple jade-like glow, and her bosom also appeared larger than before.

Thinking to this point, Xie Yao blushed bright red. She couldn’t help but imagine their future together. Her heart already belonged to Nie Yan. Recalling how busy he was lately, she came to a decision. She turned bashful as a plan started taking shape in her mind for tonight. However, her resolve was still firm.

After a while, Xie Yao walked out of the washroom wearing a tunic top along with a violet flower patterned long skirt.

Seeing Xie Yao, Nie Yan couldn’t pull his eyes away. She looked absolutely enchanting, like an otherworldly beauty.

Xie Yao did a little twirl as her skirt danced about.

“How is it?” Xie Yao asked with a cute smile, gazing at Nie Yan with a look of expectation.

“Not bad.” Nie Yan nodded.

After washing up, the two finished breakfast before leaving for school. Not far from the villa was a bus stop. They could wait there for a ride.

Nie Yan really liked this kind of simple lifestyle. The turmoil of his past life made him cherish the current peace all the more.

Not many people were riding the bus, about a dozen or so. Many of the passengers were students of the Top Military Academy. They sat at the front most eats, from time to time sneaking glances at the back.

“Who is that girl? Is she from our school?”

“Yeah, I think she’s a freshman. I saw her on campus filling out a few forms the other day.”

“It’s a shame she already has a boyfriend.”

They were quietly whispering to each other. Even so, to his great surprise Nie Yan could hear every word they said. It appeared his hearing had improved quite a bit. It wasn’t only limited to this. After using the game capsule for some time, even though he was working out less, his strength had improved quite a bit too. He couldn’t remember the last time he tested out his fitness.

The conversation topic of these students gradually shifted to Conviction.

“I’m already Level 71. I guess you guys are around the same as well. Did you know? Liu Chen is already Level 79! Hah… wish we could be like him,” a slim student in a checkered shirt said, purposefully raising his voice.

Level 71 was already quite impressive at this stage of the game. However, bragging about it in front of a certain Level 97 individual was sort of like showing off your paltry machete skills in front of Guan Yu.
