Reincarnated as a Tabby Cat: Daily Life with the School Beauty Empress

"Ice Phoenix... Heart-Shattering Finger!"

This is one of the signature techniques that made him famous in his previous life. Although his current strength is only a fraction of what it used to be, it is enough to deal with a sixth-order beast that is completely suppressed and unable to move!

Su Qianxue's figure transformed into a pale blue streak of light, flashing past and appearing precisely above the head of the Sacred Fire Qilin.

With a single finger, it struck the Qilin right between its eyebrows, below its single horn. That was the connection point between its soul and its demon core, and its only weakness!

"Click..."

A faint cracking sound rang out, barely audible amidst the roar of flames.

The Holy Fire Qilin's body stiffened abruptly, and the flames in its burning pupils extinguished at a visible speed, eventually turning into a deathly gray.

Its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Su Qianxue fell to the ground, unable to hold on any longer. She knelt on one knee, panting heavily, her face as pale as paper.

Yichen jumped down from the tree, ran to her side, rubbed his head against her hand, and looked at her with worry in his eyes.

"Meow..." [Master, are you alright?]

Su Qianxue shook her head, but a smile appeared on her lips. She stepped forward and took out a fist-sized, crimson crystal of essence blood from the Qilin's corpse, with flames seemingly flowing inside.

The essence blood of the sixth-tier king-level beast, the Holy Fire Qilin!

This trip was worth it.

When Su Qianxue reappeared at the mouth of the valley, Qin Yong and Zhang Beibei were pacing anxiously back and forth.

"Why aren't they back yet? It's been almost half an hour." Qin Yong craned his neck, peering towards the hill. "Could... something really have happened?"

Zhang Beibei, who was standing to the side, also felt uneasy.

Just then, they saw Su Qianxue.

She walked slowly, her face was pale, and her clothes were stained with blood and dust, as if she had been through a fierce battle.

Their hearts sank, and the worst possible guesses came to mind.

"Su Qianxue, are you...are you alright?" Zhang Beibei rushed forward and asked cautiously, "Where's that beast? Did you see it?"

Qin Yong looked at her nervously, even forgetting the excruciating pain in his leg. He was more concerned about whether Su Qianxue had brought her leg back.

Su Qianxue stopped and glanced at them, her expression calm.

"I saw it clearly."

Her voice was a little hoarse, but her words were clear.

"I killed him."

The moment she finished speaking, she casually waved her hand, and a bloody thigh fell out of her spatial ring, landing on the grass in front of Qin Yong.

In the valley, even the sound of the wind seemed to stand still.

Zhang Beibei's eyes widened little by little, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she made a "hoho" sound in her throat, like a duck being choked.

Qin Yong stared intently at the leg on the ground, then suddenly looked up at Su Qianxue. His expression shifted from shock to horror, and finally to complete blankness. His brain had completely shut down, unable to process the information he had just received.

Kill...killed?

That's a sixth-tier peak beast!

She single-handedly killed that terrifying being that had made them both tumble and crawl, even losing a leg?

How is that possible!

"Kill...killed it?" Qin Yong's voice trembled. He pointed to the leg on the ground, then to Su Qianxue, his tongue barely able to flow. "You...you...killed it?"

Su Qianxue did not answer, but just looked at him calmly, her eyes seeming to say: I've brought the things back to you, it's time to fulfill our deal.

Qin Yong jolted awake from his shock. He hurriedly handed the purple [Magic Rune Token] to Su Qianxue, his movements somewhat comical due to his excitement.

"Here you go! Su, thank you... thank you!"

The way he looks at Su Qianxue now has completely changed. It's no longer the scrutiny and curiosity between classmates, but... a kind of awe as if looking at a deity.

Su Qianxue took the magic rune token; it felt slightly cool to the touch, and a pure spatial power flowed within it. Without saying a word, she directly infused it with a wisp of spiritual energy.

The magic runes on the sign lit up, a flash of purple light, and her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Only Qin Yong and Zhang Beibei remained, standing there dumbfounded, staring at each other in disbelief at the thigh they had just regained and the lingering spatial fluctuations in the air after Su Qianxue's disappearance.

"I...I'm not dreaming, am I?" Zhang Beibei pinched herself hard, wincing in pain. "She...she really solo-killed a peak sixth-tier character?"

"You're not dreaming..." Qin Yong murmured to himself, his gaze incredibly complex. "We...we seem to have never understood her from the very beginning."

Wang Teng? A genius from the Imperial Academy in the capital?

Compared to Su Qianxue's nonchalant statement, "I killed him," all those so-called titles were simply a joke.

Qin Yong suddenly felt that he had traded a magic rune token for a leg, which could be considered a favor, and the deal wasn't a bad one.

……

A flash of purple light appeared, and Su Qianxue's figure appeared beside a swamp.

She glanced around and saw several second-tier poisonous frogs scurrying about in the mud, their cheeks puffed out.

It seems that the teleportation of this magic rune card is indeed completely random.

She didn't pay it any mind, found a clean place to sit down, and began to regulate her breathing and recover. The battle with the Qilin had exhausted her spiritual energy and left her with serious internal injuries, requiring her to recover as quickly as possible.

Yichen crawled out of her arms, also exhausted. Activating the gravity space three times in a row, one of which was at its maximum output of thirty times, had taken a huge toll on it. It lay on Su Qianxue's shoulder, licked its paws, and soon began to snore softly.

While circulating her internal energy to heal her injuries, Su Qianxue was also making plans.

With the magic rune token, her efficiency in the trial grounds will be greatly improved. As long as her luck isn't too bad and she keeps teleporting to the lairs of high-level beasts, her daily harvest will be dozens or even hundreds of times that of others.

The freshman competition... perhaps she can give everyone a "surprise" in advance.

Time passed slowly, and when the teleportation light signaling the end of the trial appeared, Su Qianxue's injuries had almost completely healed.

A flash of white light, and she returned to the trial hall.

In the hall, students were teleported out in twos and threes, sighing and discussing their "miserable" experiences of the day.

"Damn it, I had such bad luck today. I ran into a level 4 Shadow Leopard and almost didn't make it back."

"What's that? Our team of five ganged up on a level 5 armored tiger, and it still managed to escape. Three of us were injured."

Su Qianxue silently walked through the crowd, and no one noticed the impressive achievements hidden beneath her pale face.

Meanwhile, Qin Yong, supported by Zhang Beibei, was also teleported out. He immediately went to the academy's medical center and, after paying a considerable amount of points, successfully had his broken leg reattached.

Lying in the medical pod, Qin Yong and Zhang Beibei exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised shock in each other's eyes.

"Beibei, what do you think about what happened today...? Should we tell anyone?" Qin Yong asked.

Zhang Beibei fell silent.

Tell anyone? Who would believe that? A freshman, single-handedly killing a peak sixth-tier alien beast? People would just think they're crazy.

"I won't say." Zhang Beibei shook her head, but her tone was unusually firm. "But we need to be clear in our hearts that from today onwards, in this Imperial Capital Royal Academy, who is the true number one genius?"

They knew they had inadvertently stumbled upon a tremendous secret.

This aloof girl named Su Qianxue has revealed just the tip of the iceberg, yet it's enough to overturn everyone's perceptions.

Her future extends far beyond this small royal academy, and even beyond the Dragon Empire.

They were fortunate enough to witness one of her hunts before the dragon took flight into the heavens.

This secret will become the deepest imprint on their hearts.
