Chapter 285 - Chapter 280: Opening the Gate of Vows

The footsteps of summer arrived quietly. The cicadas on the trees lining the corridors of St. Freya High School began to chirp noisily... It had been almost a year since Li Xuan came to this world...

A week had passed since he woke up... Li Xuan, who originally wanted to laze in bed for another week, was forcibly dragged up by Theresa...

Yes, due to his perverted recovery ability, the wound that had almost pierced through him was already seventy to eighty percent healed... This was very frustrating, as he couldn't even laze in bed anymore...

As everyone knows, St. Freya High School was built on an island in the Far East. Turning an uninhabited island into a school... this is something probably only the wealthy 'Schicksal' would do...

And now... Li Xuan was on the back mountain of St. Freya High School... an undeveloped mountainous area that was still a forest. The reason he was here so early in the morning was because...

"Li Xuan! We're preparing to go to the Divine Land tomorrow~" Theresa, holding a cylinder made from rolled-up document files, completely lacking the dignified style of a principal, patted Li Xuan's head with the cylinder in her small hand, 'smack smack smack!'

"..." Li Xuan was helpless. If it were a man hitting him on the head, he definitely wouldn't hold back... But now, the other party was the self-proclaimed world's cutest, with the appearance and figure of a loli, and more importantly, she was his superior... Principal Theresa.

Although he didn't know why Principal Theresa wasn't in her office handling documents at this time, but was instead playfully hitting his head... Li Xuan felt that being hit by the loli-faced Theresa for a while was actually quite nice... It didn't hurt anyway.

"Um... Principal Theresa, do you have any other basements that can block Honkai energy and light?" Li Xuan suddenly remembered the large pile of Honkai energy crystals in his ring that he hadn't used yet... After so long, it was time for another pull.

"...You, you... want to do that thing again?!" Theresa took a step back in alarm. Last time, she had to pay a considerable price to eliminate the impact of the golden light pillar Li Xuan created.... However, it was still inevitable that a new campus legend was added to St. Freya High School...

"Ahem... After all, we're going on a mission..." Li Xuan turned his head away in embarrassment. He had to strengthen his power... Nowadays, even his shield could be broken... He was also very panicked...

"...Sigh~ Alright..." Theresa was silent for a while. The pair of willow-like eyebrows on her fair face seemed to be furrowed in difficulty, as if she had resignedly agreed to his request...

Then... he was thrown onto the back mountain of St. Freya High School as if he were being discarded... Even if a golden pillar of light appeared here, Principal Theresa said she could lie to the public and say it was for some secret event. Yes... and just muddle through it like that!

.........................

Although it was the back mountain of St. Freya High School, there were still obvious signs of modification... Perhaps for other reasons, this small island was not completely transformed, leaving this small part. However, it was believed that it would not take long to be completely transformed...

The so-called back mountain was not completely barren. Perhaps it was intended to be like a park... so there was still a road and a small pavilion standing in this green forest...

The sunlight penetrated the layers of leaves on the branches. The leaves, which had turned a deep green after early spring, radiated an even more dazzling green in the sunlight...

"The cicadas are crying, people are breaking down..." Li Xuan sat in the small pavilion, looking at the azure sky and listening to the cicadas chirping all over the mountain... His heart was completely calm...

Then, after watching the off-road vehicle that brought him disappear at the end of the road, a small golden door appeared out of thin air in his right hand... That was the 'Gate of Vows'.

"I didn't expect... that it would have these effects after the blood pact..." Li Xuan placed the Gate of Vows on the stone table in front of him. He didn't rush to make a wish, but instead touched the chest area of his white short-sleeved shirt...

The chest area of the white short-sleeved shirt, transformed from the 'Xuanyuan Festive Garb', was a bit bulging. If one looked closely at the clothes, one could see several miniature emblems tucked inside....

After being directly infected by Li Xuan's blood, the original emblems could actually shrink... Emblems the size of half a palm became the size of a little finger. And most importantly... the number of emblems he could wear was no longer limited to 3...

As long as there was space, Li Xuan could hang emblems on his clothes as he pleased... Of course, he could still only use the skill attribute bonuses of 3 emblems at the same time, but it was much more flexible... He could change emblems at any time, no longer needing to manually switch emblems, which was so troublesome...

The improvement was like a sword immortal who, after shooting out his flying sword, evolved from having to go and retrieve it himself to the flying sword being able to fly back on its own... Truly a joyous occasion...

"Alright, let's do this!" Li Xuan said with great vigor. With a wave of his right hand... a small mountain of Honkai energy crystals appeared on the ground. The crystals shimmered with an azure blue luster under the sunlight... A faint fluctuation of Honkai energy emanated from them.

"I won't kneel this time..." Li Xuan felt it was necessary to change his wishing posture. Kneeling on the ground to make a wish was really not very elegant...

"With one year of Kiana's life as a sacrifice... O Gate, give me a powerful piece of equipment!" Li Xuan solemnly declared to the Gate of Vows standing on the ground, as if taking an oath. As for the innocently sacrificed white-haired furball... Li Xuan thought that sacrificing a year of her life was no big deal. Anyway, Bronya had said that idiots usually live long lives!

"..." The Gate of Vows.

"It's starting!" After praying earnestly and piously, Li Xuan began to stuff handfuls of Honkai energy crystals into the gray mirror in the middle of the 'Gate of Vows'...

The azure crystals were swallowed by the mirror's surface, which even rippled like the surface of a lake... The dense patterns on the golden door frame slowly lit up from the bottom up...

The moment it finished devouring 2800 Honkai energy crystals, the entire small door, as if cast in gold, lit up like a small light bulb... The patterns on the door frame were completely illuminated...

The next moment... a golden pillar of light, dazzling even in broad daylight, suddenly rose from the 'Gate of Vows'... shooting straight up into the sky...

At this moment, many people at St. Freya High School who happened to look up at the sky could also see that pillar of light... The golden pillar of light extended all the way into the clouds in the sky, as if connecting heaven and earth....
