Chapter 207: 152. Paid substitution
The gymnasium, second floor.
The advanced training room.
Under the guidance of their homeroom teacher, the students of the freshman genius class were using a variety of high-tech training equipment, such as gravity chambers, spirit cabins, and reaction chambers to undergo ultra-high intensity strengthening training.
“Li Moyu is too fierce, he can even withstand the power of a Seventh Order gravity chamber!”
“That’s incredible, Luo Yongjian has already been in the spirit cabin for almost a minute and he’s still holding on!”
“Ma Xiwei is awesome too, she has already scored an S grade rating in the reaction chamber!”
In the genius class, the Three Phantoms—Li Moyu, Ma Xiwei, and Luo Yongjian—stood out in the advanced training room, drawing continuous exclamations from their classmates.
Seeing the Three Phantoms improve so much in less than a semester, many thought of Lin Zichen.
This new student king, heralded as the most powerful in the school’s history, dominated during the enrollment trial, crushing the likes of Li Moyu, Ma Xiwei, and Luo Yongjian at that time.
Now that nearly a semester has passed, his current strength and how much he has improved is unknown.
Most likely he hasn’t made much progress.
After all, he has taken the Pureblood Human Path and hasn’t undergone genetic fusion.
Thinking thus, many shook their heads.
“Lin Zichen hasn’t undergone genetic fusion to this day; he must have been left far behind by those three.”
“That new student king is out of his mind. He has a high compatibility for genetic fusion, but he insists on taking the Pureblood Human Path, isn’t that stupid?”
“Sigh, honestly, it’s a shame to blend in with the crowd like this.”
The genius class was either mocking or lamenting.
But without exception, they all thought Lin Zichen was foolish.
A girl said in bewilderment, “I don’t understand what Shen Qinghan is thinking. If I were her, I’d definitely persuade Lin Zichen to switch to Evolution College and stop following the Pureblood Human Path; it’s such a waste of talent.”
At that moment, Ma Xiwei came out of the reaction chamber and, upon hearing the girl’s words, looked at her with a cold gaze and said, “People have their own ambitions. Don’t judge others so casually.”
“That’s true.”
The girl laughed awkwardly.
Ma Xiwei, the daughter of the college dean, was someone most classmates, except for a few with powerful family backgrounds, were quite afraid of.
They were very cautious around her, fearing they might offend her.
After all, the daughter of the dean had a somewhat aloof demeanor and didn’t seem easy to get along with.
“Teacher, why isn’t Shen Qinghan in class?”
Ma Xiwei asked the homeroom teacher.
Shen Qinghan was an exemplary student who had never been late since the start of school.
Yet today, she was absent from their first class in the advanced training room, which was quite unusual.
“The homeroom teacher replied, “Qinghan said she has urgent matters to deal with and asked for leave today.”
“I see.”
Ma Xiwei nodded and didn’t inquire further.
Before long.
Li Moyu from the gravity chamber, and Luo Yongjian from the spirit cabin, both emerged from their respective chambers, concluding their training.
Both were drenched in sweat and gasping for breath; they found a place to sit down and rest.
The intensity of the training they had just undergone was high and consumed a lot of their energy.
Seeing that nobody else in the class was training and all were gathered in the hall resting, the homeroom teacher spoke up:
“I’ve just received a notification from the Academic Affairs Office. The new student competition for your year has been moved up to the end of this semester and is scheduled for January 18th.”
“So sudden?”
Someone felt caught off guard.
At the same time, others felt excited.
The most excited was none other than Li Moyu.
“Better to have it sooner!”
Li Moyu confidently said with a smile, “I can’t wait to beat Lin Zichen!”
Although he had been crushed by Lin Zichen during the enrollment trial, that was several months ago.
Now, after undergoing several genetic fusions, his strength had significantly improved to the level of an ordinary Sixth Order, approaching that of a Seventh Order.
He believed that Lin Zichen, who hadn’t undergone genetic fusion, couldn’t possibly compare to him.
As for the Pureblood Human Path?
Song Yuyan, once the runner-up of the Capital City list, was a bloody lesson.
Not only did Li Moyu think this way, but so did Ma Xiwei.
She felt it was a pity that Lin Zichen was misguided.
Without undergoing genetic fusion or mechanical modification, he was destined to become just another Song Yuyan.
While it was a pity, they could only respect the fate of others.
“Holy shit, there’s a fight downstairs!”
A boy returning from the restroom shouted excitedly to everyone, “Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan are stirring up trouble, they fought with the sophomore flower from Evolution College downstairs!”
“They even beat up her roommate alongside her, swelling their faces so much they look like pig’s heads, completely disfigured!”
“Now that flower’s boyfriend has rushed over and is confronting Lin Zichen!”
They beat up the sophomore college flower?
Confronted the student council’s disciplinary officer?
Is that really true?
Is Lin Zichen that audacious?
The faces of everyone in the genius class were full of shock and disbelief.
“Let’s go, down to have a look!”
Someone shouted.
The very next second, the entire genius class rushed out of the training room, eager to go downstairs and watch the drama unfold.
Li Moyu, Ma Xiwei, Luo Yongjian, and others went to the corridor to look.
…
Meanwhile, downstairs.
Lin Zichen was still standing on the Martial Stage, quietly watching a man and a woman below the stage.
The woman was the red-haired senior sister, Ziqi.
The man was a student council disciplinary officer and also Ziqi’s boyfriend, named Jin Mingyu.
Jin Mingyu’s anger flared as he clenched his fists and ground his teeth, seeing his college flower girlfriend’s swollen face.
“Take care of her for me.”
