"Young fellas, get ready," Lei Ming said, then sat aside and closed his eyes, waiting for the challenge to begin.
He had experienced more than a decade of such challenges and had long since learned to take things in stride. Regardless of whether these students won or lost, their future paths were their own to walk. There really wasn’t much help Lei Ming could offer.
"Dear audience members, good morning. This is Rain Cloud TV Channel, and I am your host, Xiao Meng."
"The annual Iron Blood College Challenge is about to begin! How many challengers will successfully win the competition and enter Iron Blood College this year? Let’s wait and see!"
"Good morning, everyone. This is Anwu Sile TV Channel. What you are seeing on screen now is the arena specially built by Iron Blood College for this challenge."
"This year’s arena is much larger than in previous years. According to the staff, the arena is a circular pillar with a diameter of fifty meters. When a Martial Artist steps onto it, the pillar will continuously rise and fall, enhancing the spectator experience of the competition."
By the side of the arena, the crowd gradually grew. Even though Lu Lin and the others were in the rest area adjusting their conditions, they could still hear the bustling noise from outside.
Lei Ming checked the time, then stood up and said, "It’s about time. Let’s go out."
The group filed out one after another.
The candidates selected by Iron Blood College to participate this time had also been meticulously chosen.
The most popular freshman, Hang Jianshe, was naturally among them, as was the mutant Awakener ’Thousand Swords’ Zhu Haolin; the life attribute Awakener who had reached Level 1, ’Great Tree’ Yao Zongheng; the Light Awakened Warrior ’Sword of Light’ Cong Xiaolong; and other talented freshmen who had already become famous before they even started school.
Although these individuals couldn’t match Hang Jianshe, who had already reached Level 1 Peak, they had all surpassed Level 1. Some even possessed cultivation levels that directly challenged Hang Jianshe’s.
However, despite so many outstanding students, Lu Lin immediately spotted Feng Yuanyu in the crowd, ostentatiously dressed in a white tracksuit.
At that moment, Feng Yuanyu was full of spirit. Although he couldn’t compare to the ’Four Heavenly Kings’ among the Iron Blood College freshmen, he was not to be underestimated. Having learned the secret mental method of the East Forest Club, he was extremely confident.
Even if he faces Lu Lin, he is confident he will remain undefeated. Yes, that’s how it is.
Through meticulous analysis, Feng Yuanyu speculated that Lu Lin’s cultivation wasn’t merely that of a Level 1 Star Core Warrior. In fact, Level 2 wasn’t even Lu Lin’s limit.
Although it seemed unbelievable that someone could advance to Level 3 less than twenty days after Awakening, Feng Yuanyu believed there was an 80% chance Lu Lin had reached it.
Though his judgment wasn’t perfectly accurate, it held some merit. After all, Lu Lin had only been Level 2 when he had come to Alien on the Starship. Yet now, just a few days later, he had indeed advanced to Level 3. So, Feng Yuanyu’s assessment did have some basis.
As if sensing Lu Lin’s gaze, Feng Yuanyu met his eyes for a second, then quickly turned his head away.
That Lu fellow seems to have his sights set on me. Otherwise, with Lu Lin’s cultivation, there would be no need for him to keep staring at me.
Damn it! As a Level 3 ’Boss,’ why are you staring at me, someone who’s just reached Zero Level Peak? Is Hang Jianshe too weak? Or have the special attributes of Yao Zongheng, Cong Xiaolong, and Zhu Haolin lost their appeal?
Seeing Feng Yuanyu was also participating, Lu Lin felt relieved.
He had long ago figured out a way to deal with Feng Yuanyu.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
A handsome young man in a suit stood on the arena. He didn’t have a microphone, but his voice could reach everyone’s ears.
"It’s Principal Wang!"
"It really is Principal Wang! He’s so handsome! His looks are exactly like the pictures circulating online—no, he’s even more handsome in person!"
"I love him so much! I came to Iron Blood College just for Principal Wang. I feel my whole life has been worthwhile! I wonder if Principal Wang will notice me? I’ve even picked out the kindergarten for our children!"
"Give up, you shameless woman! Principal Wang is mine! No one can take him away!"
As soon as the man referred to as Principal Wang took the stage, the noise from below, instead of quieting down, grew even louder.
Principal Wang sighed, his hand on his forehead.
This was the price of being too handsome. Even though he was used to it, he still often felt troubled.
Principal Wang was not actually the principal of Iron Blood University.
Principal Wang’s real name was Wang Chunyu, a rather common name. However, having inherited his parents’ genes, he displayed an extraordinary talent from birth—
His attractiveness was universal. From childhood to adulthood, countless female students were hopelessly smitten with him, and countless female teachers gave him longing gazes. Even the women serving food in the cafeteria and the elderly grandmothers he encountered on the street couldn’t help but pause to admire his stunning appearance.
It was rumored that when Wang Chunyu went to the Exotic Battlefield, he encountered danger several times. Fortunately, he was rescued by accompanying teachers each time, narrowly avoiding disaster.
The reason was that his appearance had been noticed by females of Alien Races, who wanted to take him back to their clans for propagation.
On one occasion, he was even discovered by the queen of the Flame Roaring Fire Fox One Clan. To save Wang Chunyu, Humans had to dispatch two Titled Kings.
After some negotiations, Wang Chunyu agreed to visit the Flame Roaring Fire Fox One Clan twice a year. Only then did they let him go.
"Everyone, please calm down. Please calm down."
