I Break through Crazily

"Yes, I understand. So, the Heaven-Devouring Thieves are basically a cancerous existence in the Four Great Domains. They're utterly disgusting."

Tang Yi nodded, having gained a basic understanding of the Heaven-Devouring Thieves.

No wonder everyone on the Void Warship had been so afraid of the Heaven-Devouring Thieves; it turned out there was a precedent for their fear.

An enemy you couldn't kill, one that would pop up from time to time just to harass you, was simply infuriating.

Tang Yi decided in his heart that as soon as he was strong enough, he would find out where the Heaven-Devouring Thieves came from, locate their lair, and then eradicate them. They were just too vile.

And just as this thought crossed Tang Yi's mind...

"DING! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for receiving a main quest: 'Find the lair of the Heaven-Devouring Thieves and exterminate them.' No time limit."

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment.

'This...'

'I just thought about it for a second, and I got another main quest?'

Including this one, Tang Yi had now accepted a total of three main quests, all of which were currently incomplete.

The first was: 'Six months from now, go to the Purple Cloud Sect and defeat Shangguan Siyu in public!'

The second was: 'Investigate the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps and wipe out their corrupt influence in one fell swoop!'

And the third was this new one.

All three were quests he received right after thinking about the matter.

'Could it be...'

'From now on, whenever I encounter something, I can get a quest just by thinking about it?'

The thought of the huge rewards for completing quests made Tang Yi's heart burn with excitement.

'If that's really the case, then I'll have to make sure I think things through whenever something comes up.'

"Tang Yi, you've asked me so many questions. I wonder, could you answer one of mine?"

Elder Lu's sudden question pulled Tang Yi from his daze.

"I wonder what Elder Lu wishes to know," Tang Yi replied after a moment's hesitation.

'There's no way I can tell anyone about the Battle God System in my head,' Tang Yi thought. 'And I definitely can't reveal that I'm a transmigrator.'

'If Elder Lu asks about that, I really don't know how I'll answer.'

Seemingly noticing Tang Yi's hesitation, Elder Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry. Everyone has their secrets, and I won't pry into yours. I just want to ask, what is your attitude toward the West Mansion?"

"My attitude toward the West Mansion?"

Tang Yi was taken aback for a moment.

'Well, as long as he's not asking about my strength, it should be fine.'

As for the West Mansion...

Tang Yi had initially taken the West Mansion's examination because of his father, Tang Haotian's, instructions. Otherwise, he never would have participated.

However, as time went on, he discovered that this Influence wasn't as complicated as he had imagined. Everyone he'd met from the West Mansion was not only easygoing but also incredibly kind. Even though they were powerful, they didn't have the disdainful attitude that strong cultivators often showed toward ordinary people.

Whether it was Wang Zongyao, Xiao Bai, or even Elder Lu, they were all good people.

Of course, Tang Yi didn't know if there was internal strife and backstabbing within the West Mansion. But he did know that the people from the West Mansion he had met so far were all wonderful individuals willing to sacrifice themselves for the younger generation.

'A West Mansion like this is worth helping out.'

With that, Tang Yi looked at Elder Lu and replied, "If I am fortunate enough to enter the West Mansion, then the West Mansion's business will be my business. If the West Mansion is in trouble, I will definitely step forward to help."

"Good. Very good. Your words are enough." Hearing Tang Yi's answer, Elder Lu nodded, thoroughly satisfied.

After a moment's hesitation, Elder Lu continued, "Tang Yi, besides this question, I was actually hoping to ask a favor of you."

"A favor?" Tang Yi glanced at Elder Lu, wondering what kind of favor he could possibly offer.

"Yes, a favor. It should be very simple for you. I'd like to ask you to take first place in this House Entrance Examination and, if possible, help the other examinees from the Thirty-six Cities of the North District get into the West Mansion."

Elder Lu said slowly.

After speaking, he looked at Tang Yi with an expectant gaze, hoping that he would agree.

"This..."

Tang Yi hesitated.

'Helping the few from the Tang Family is one thing; that's my responsibility,' he thought. 'Taking first place in the House Entrance Examination is no problem either. But the others...'

'The examinees from the Thirty-six Cities of the North District are strangers to me. Why should I help them? If it's not necessary, I really don't want to waste my energy.'

'I'm not an Angel, so why should I have to shine my light upon the world?'

Seeing Tang Yi's hesitation, Elder Lu quickly added, "Tang Yi, I know it's a huge hassle to ask you to help the examinees from the Thirty-six Cities of the North District enter the West Mansion, and it might even affect your own performance. But you know the situation with our Thirty-six Cities of the North District. It gets worse every year, and the number of spots we get decreases annually. The other Three Major Zones even team up to suppress the North District, causing our examinees to suffer heavy losses. It's been years since a truly strong expert has emerged from our region."

"Our North District examinees aren't actually weak. Geniuses are born every year. Last year, our overall strength even reached a new Peak, but because of the suppression from the other three zones' examinees, we just can't get ahead."

"Why doesn't the West Mansion do something about this situation?" Tang Yi asked, confused.

He had heard about this from Bai Ye before. Bai Ye had even asked everyone to team up back then.

But Tang Yi didn't understand. If it was so unfair, why didn't the West Mansion's leadership intervene? He didn't think they would be so cold-hearted.

Elder Lu shook his head. "How could they? Under the West Mansion's competitive system, it's a situation they can't manage even if they wanted to. The West Mansion's leadership would love nothing more than to see the examinees fight to the death. Only through fierce competition can peerless experts be born, and that is the very foundation of the West Mansion's dominance in the Western Domain. Unfortunately, the examinees of the North District have just become stepping stones for the other Three Major Zones."

"To curb this behavior, relying on the leadership to intervene is useless. The only way is for the North District's examinees to stand up for themselves, prove their own strength, and stop others from bullying them. And you, Tang Yi, are the strongest among this year's North District examinees. I have no other choice but to turn to you for help."

Of course, there was another reason Elder Lu didn't mention. The examinees from the Thirty-six Cities of the North District came in last every year, with very few managing to enter the West Mansion. This left Elder Lu extremely embarrassed every time. He couldn't keep his face among the other regional Elders, which was why he wanted to rely on Tang Yi to turn the tables and have a moment of glory, so he wouldn't have to walk with his head down every time.

Seeing the incredibly expectant look in Elder Lu's eyes, Tang Yi hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Alright, I understand. I will help the examinees from the Thirty-six Cities of the North District enter the West Mansion when I can."

"So you're saying you agree?" Elder Lu was overjoyed to hear Tang Yi's response. With Tang Yi's help, he no longer needed to worry about the results for the Thirty-six Cities of the North District. Their chances of getting into the West Mansion would surely increase dramatically.

"Yes."

Tang Yi confirmed.

And just as Tang Yi confirmed, a notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

"DING! Congratulations to Tang Yi for receiving a main quest: 'Become number one in the West Mansion's current House Entrance Examination and help as many examinees from the Thirty-six Cities of the North District as possible enter the West Mansion.'"

"Note: You must help more than thirty examinees enter the West Mansion to meet the quest completion requirements."
