After having lunch at the canteen, Lu Lin went straight back to the training building. At this moment, several students were already training inside the dodgeball training room. Lu Lin stood outside watching for a while, with only one thought in his mind: If he had played the beginner dodgeball training back then, this would also be the level. He felt he could clear the level perfectly even hopping on one leg. No doubt about it, last time someone must have messed with him, but he didn’t know who did it. Seems a bit boring, huh. Thinking this, Lu Lin found an empty training room, swiped his Student Card, and started training. Let’s start with the beginner level first, warm up a bit, and then challenge the intermediate difficulty later. Earlier he saw some other students training at the intermediate level, the difficulty was, hmm, okay, he felt quite confident. Five minutes later, after playing three times in the beginner level, Lu Lin was even more sure of his thoughts. The current beginner mode was completely different from what he had played before. So next up, it’s time to challenge the intermediate mode. Upon seeing the training menu, selecting the intermediate mode added a leaderboard feature. Lu Lin glanced at it and chuckled to himself. He thought those ranked in the top ten were all trash. The challenge of the intermediate mode increased in difficulty, with two different colored elastic balls being shot from the launchers. Among them, the red balls need to be dodged. Successfully dodging one adds five points. Failing to dodge, you lose five points. The blue balls need to be attacked. Hitting one down adds five points. Missing a hit results in a deduction of five points. Theoretically, a total of 1,500 elastic balls of varying colors would be shot in each training session. If all the red balls are dodged and all the blue balls are hit down, the score can reach up to 7,500 points. Adding the base score of 1,000 points, the maximum theoretical total score can reach 8,500 points. However, looking at the leaderboard, not even half scores were achieved, let alone full scores. Currently, the top scorer on the leaderboard in the intermediate dodgeball training only had 3,855 points. But by the time you reach the hundredth place on the leaderboard, that student only had 680 points. Not only did they not earn more points, but they also lost quite a bit of their base score. Lu Lin chuckled again, he had the Perceive Star Skill, the Evasion Star Skill, and had practiced the Seize the Gap from Ten Steps Kill to mastery. The Three Principles of Body Movement: eyes must be precise, the brain must be quick, and the body must be agile. Lu Lin felt he fulfilled all these criteria. If that’s the case, let’s begin. "Intermediate dodgeball training, starting now..." The computer voice mechanically explained the rules of training, and at this time, fifty firing points appeared in the training room. Lu Lin also had to equip a small locator-like device on his body to allow the firing points to promptly adjust the shooting direction. Additionally, he had a metal rod used to hit the blue balls. Only hitting the blue ball with the metal rod counts as a successful hit; using the hand, head, or any part of the body to hit the blue ball would be judged as the trainee being hit, deducting five points. Moreover, this metal rod can only be used for hitting the blue balls; hitting the red ball would also result in a deduction of five points. Lu Lin took a deep breath; he was ready to face the challenge. "Training is about to start..." The computer voice faded out, and simultaneously, three firing points started shooting elastic balls, two red and one blue. Of the two red balls, one was extremely fast, and the other was slower, spinning as it moved. The blue ball flew towards Lu Lin, keeping almost the same trajectory as the fast red ball. "No way, it’s high difficulty from the get-go." Lu Lin sighed but showed no fear; he stepped back with his left foot, his whole body tilting to one side, dodging the red ball in front, then twisted, raising the metal rod in his hand to hit the blue ball. Meanwhile, the slower red ball was already nearing Lu Lin, so he used his left hand to support himself on the ground, performing a half-spin to avoid this red ball. With the three initial elastic balls successfully dodged and hit, Lu Lin’s score increased by 15. However, this was just the beginning. If Lu Lin failed to dodge later on, the score could still be deducted back. Another five balls were shot in succession, and Lu Lin hurriedly flipped to dodge, raising the metal rod in his hand to meet them. At the top of the training building, a large, wholly golden-yellow cat was purring and sleeping. This cat was the mascot of Iron Blood University, Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang was the pet of the first principal of Iron Blood University. Since the university’s establishment, it had been living within the school. It wasn’t very attractive, but it was powerful enough that not many students dared to approach it. Usually, it enjoyed playing pranks on students, but only on the elites and geniuses among them. After all, bullying ordinary people is meaningless. Winning gives no sense of achievement. Losing makes it seem immature. Now that Mr. Huang’s cultivation had reached the ninth level, no one in Iron Blood College could control it. Among the current students, Hang Jianshe, Cong Xiaolong, Yao Zongheng, and Zhu Haolin were played with to the point of ecstasy and despair by Mr. Huang during Lu Lin’s absence. Originally, the one it most wanted to "play" with was Lu Lin. Because Lu Lin was stubborn. In the past, when it played with those elite students in the dodgeball training room, none of them could persist for long, eventually all giving up in frustration. But Lu Lin? He was stubborn enough. Even after several rounds with Mr. Huang, he could keep going. Eventually, he played Mr. Huang until it had no more complaints. As mentioned before, exotic beasts aren’t without intelligence. Any beast that reaches the first level has the wisdom of a child. They can distinguish between good and bad and know how to live most conveniently and comfortably. Old Huang, who had reached ninth level in strength, didn’t dare to enter the Exotic Battlefield to transcend the heavenly tribulation, so he could only bully students in the school. Finally meeting someone as entertaining as Lu Lin, he couldn’t let him go easily. But within a few days, Lu Lin was sent out by Long Qianli on a mission, making Old Huang feel like a lonely pillow at night. Half a month ago, Lu Lin returned from the Exotic Battlefield, and his life and studies were very regular, either in class or in the gravity training room every day. Old Huang had tried to get Principal Wang Jianfang to grant him control of the gravity room, wanting Lu Lin to experience a truly ethereal feeling, changing the gravity index thirty-six times a second. Who wouldn’t feel blissfully overwhelmed? But he was rejected by Wang Jianfang. The gravity training room is inherently very dangerous for students. To ensure their safety, each training room is equipped with a teacher to watch over them at all times. How could they let Old Huang mess around so carelessly? Old Huang could only wait for Lu Lin to come to the dodgeball training room, where bullying Lu Lin wouldn’t be stopped by Wang Jianfang. He couldn’t wait for Lu Lin to develop extremely strong body movement skills to avoid attacks in the Exotic Battlefield. Now, the harsher the challenges Old Huang gave to Lu Lin, the stronger Lu Lin would become. But the noon sun was too warm, and Old Huang couldn’t help but fall asleep. He was startled awake when he heard the first class bell in the afternoon. The one named Lu Lin should have finished eating by now. Old Huang opened his back-end management system to check the situation in the dodgeball training room. Lu Lin had already scored over 5800 points. This, who would’ve thought a nap would let Lu Lin amass so many points. Old Huang instantly sobered up, disappearing from the rooftop and entering the dodgeball training room’s Artificial Control Console. Lu Lin had successfully dodged or hit nearly 1000 elastic balls, with two red balls and four blue balls failing, losing him 30 points. This back-and-forth amounted to 60 points. Just blame Lu Lin for being careless, who would’ve thought the shooting machine could rotate, taking advantage of Lu Lin’s distraction to suddenly shoot several elastic balls. These were not balls fired in a straight line; some had a swaying force. With Lu Lin unprepared, he was continuously hit by six small balls. "Switch to manual shooting." Old Huang pressed a button. On the simple console in the control room, fifty handles and fifty buttons suddenly appeared. Switching to manual control mode also presented a high challenge for the controller. Ordinary people, with weaker strength or poorer spiritual strength, had no time to react according to the training room’s situation, only making themselves more flustered. Since the dodgeball training room at Iron Blood University was built, only Old Huang had used manual operation mode. Others were dizzy just looking at the complex handles. Old Huang meowed, his eyes gleaming. He didn’t use two front paws but rather all four paws. Almost instantly, Lu Lin felt a difference. Although those fifty firing ports hadn’t started shooting yet, he seemed to smell a familiar scent. The abnormal intermediate dodgeball training had now... just begun. In the moment Lu Lin was stunned. Suddenly, fifty firing points simultaneously shot out elastic balls. Each firing point released one, two, three elastic balls. Almost in an instant, 150 elastic balls flew toward Lu Lin, almost enveloping him completely. "How the heck do you play this." Watching this scene, Lu Lin was completely not in the mood to dodge. Where was there room for dodging? It was complete firepower coverage. Instantly, 750 points deducted. In the control room, Old Huang saw Lu Lin choosing to play dead and a hint of a smile appeared on his face. Haha, this step is just to tell you, I’m back. Old Huang wasn’t foolish enough to really play . With this approach, nobody would come to the school’s dodgeball training room anymore. Watching on the monitor as Lu Lin was engulfed by all the elastic balls, Old Huang paused for a moment and then started slow shooting. Red ball, blue ball, red ball, red ball, red ball, blue ball. Blue ball, blue ball, blue ball, red ball, blue ball, blue ball. Lu Lin nearly strained his eyes seeing these shooting operations. Was this dodgeball training room or a color-blind test room? All the elastic balls fired by Old Huang had very fast speeds, with multiple red ones mingled with a blue one, or several blue ones mingled with a red one. Several times, Lu Lin was tricked by the mingled small balls without noticing. Either hitting the red ball or dodging the blue ball. The dodgeball training room instantly transformed into a reaction training room, color blindness test room. Lu Lin glanced briefly at the score on the big screen, his heart gradually sinking. Within just a moment, his score dropped directly below 4500 points, only at 4480 points. If this continued, although he could still rank first, it was completely different from what Lu Lin intended. He wanted to achieve that crushing level of score. Lu Lin coldly chuckled, no matter who was messing with him, he wasn’t afraid. No fear—just do it. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveI★Fire.net Since someone could attack him at such a quick pace, he should have a corresponding speed to react, dodge, and hit. It’s just practice, bring it on. Let’s see who’s afraid of whom.
