Lu Lin found a room for the two of them and no longer concerned himself with their affairs. The fierce-looking Zhang Xianzhi was a ninth-level Martial Artist of the Ice Attribute, having been at the ninth level for about forty years, with rich combat experience. In contrast, the more cultured Bao Hu had an Innate Attribute of the Gold System, and he excelled at defense. When facing a Titled King like Lv Susu, who wasn’t adept at attack, he could probably hold out for three to five minutes. This was the reason the Titled King Division sent them. One attacks, the other guards, and with Lu Lin’s own Earth Control Star Skill, at least escaping from danger and ensuring safety shouldn’t be a problem. Even with two ninth-level bodyguards, Lu Lin didn’t feel any different from usual, except that while he was in class, Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu would be working in the school. Occasionally, when people saw Lu Lin talking with the two new teachers, they would just think that they paid more attention to Lu Lin, without any overinterpretations. Returning to Chongnuo City, Lu Lin was able to live a calm yet fulfilling life, until... An Electromagnetic Levitation Bus drove into Iron Blood University. Lei Ming, who was leading the team for the University Games, was the first to jump off the bus and took a deep breath. "Ah, the wonderful scent of university life." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fire.net Behind him, elites from Iron Blood College stepped off the bus in silence, seeing Lei Ming’s demeanor, they lined up quietly behind him. It wasn’t until Hang Jianshe, Yao Zongheng, Cong Xiaolong, Zhu Haolin, and Zheng Yulong came down last. The University Games preliminaries held in Bovangpo City this time allowed them to see the super geniuses from different schools. Before going, although they didn’t say it out loud, they were indeed quite proud inside. They had a feeling that the world’s talents weren’t really impressive. But after the journey, they realized how ignorant they were. Before, in the High School stage, everyone was the same, with no early Awakening, just some being taller or more robust. But after passing the watershed of the Awakening Ceremony, Star Core Warriors and ordinary people became two completely different levels. And they felt it even more deeply in the University Games preliminaries. Even among the Star Core Warriors who awakened their talents, there were huge differences. In fact, compared to their previous gap with Lu Lin before the trip, it was even larger. "Old Hang, do you think Lu Lin will regret taking leave this time?" "Federation Top 100 Universities competing on the same stage, it’s the pinnacle arena for our generation’s youth, and he missed such a great opportunity because he went to the Exotic Battlefield, truly a pity for him." Cong Xiaolong murmured as he leaned towards Hang Jianshe. Yao Zongheng heard it and chimed in, "Lu Lin envies us? What are you thinking?" "Being able to enter the Exotic Battlefield as a freshman, he’s way ahead of us." "What’s the use of being ahead? We will eventually enter the Exotic Battlefield too. By then, we will have more powerful strength and more diverse Star Skills, and certainly be better than Lu Lin." Hang Jianshe couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. Cong Xiaolong immediately got anxious, "Old Hang, what do you mean by that?" "Do you think that if we can’t surpass Lu Lin now, we’ll never surpass him in our lifetime?" Hang Jianshe stopped in his tracks, not looking at Cong Xiaolong beside him, and sighed, "Not surpass him? It’s more than just not surpassing, have you forgotten last month’s federation-wide media report?" "Lu Lin, with just his mouth, scolded three Star Generals of the Alien Race to death." Old Hang, let’s not mention Lu Lin, we’re still good friends.
