Chapter 163: 156, pleasure color. That’s it? Hehe... (Please subscribe to monthly ticket)
On the last day of June, even on Alien, they could still feel the heat of summer.
Lu Lin already knew the address of the Luse Alliance and walked to the school with Zhou Ziqiang.
Quite a few students came here to register, but they all seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were afraid of being seen.
Apart from the occasional parents sending their children, most students walked into the campus with a small bag on their back and a suitcase in tow.
「Registration Place.」
After Lu Lin and Zhou Ziqiang registered, they looked at the crowded place on the other side.
"Bro Lu, take a look! Aren’t you going to challenge Iron Blood College? That’s the registration place for the challenge over there."
Lu Lin nodded and walked over with Zhou Ziqiang.
There were no fewer than fifty or sixty people surrounding the registration point, but very few actually stepped forward to register.
After all, most students, like Zhou Ziqiang, had come here because they had no choice but to attend this college after failing to get into their preferred school.
Every person present was more or less like Zhou Ziqiang, and it was estimated that no more than three of them had a higher initial cultivation than him.
Everyone knew their own level.
At the same time, they also knew the level of students who could be admitted to Iron Blood College.
Challenge?
They would just watch when the time came. Whoever wanted to participate could do so.
"Bro Lu, what about it? Are you going to sign up?"
Zhou Ziqiang asked knowingly.
Lu Lin didn’t speak, just nodded and walked straight to the registration place.
Unlike the previous enrollment registration place, this was not staffed by students but by a rugged, burly man with bushy eyebrows, big eyes, and hair standing straight up on his head. He didn’t look like someone to be messed with.
No wonder most students didn’t dare to come here to register.
If a gentle and pretty girl were sitting there instead, the number of onlookers would surely double.
"Hello, I want to sign up for the challenge."
Lei Ming raised his head and looked at Lu Lin, who stood before him.
He found he couldn’t gauge Lu Lin’s ability.
How is that possible?
He was a Level 6 Extreme Warrior; how could he be unable to see through a student who hadn’t even reached the First Level?
"Hmm, finally, someone has come to sign up."
"Name, level, attribute."
"Your challenge target; leave it blank if you don’t have one."
Lei Ming said casually.
"Alright. Thank you."
Lu Lin filled out the form according to Lei Ming’s instructions.
"Wait a minute, you’re Third Level?" Lei Ming asked, his eyes fixed on Lu Lin’s stated Star Power Level.
Is he joking?
A freshman who just had his Awakening on June 1st reaching Third Level within a month? Is he making this up?
"Yes, I’m Third Level."
Lu Lin’s expression remained unchanged.
However, the other freshmen who heard Lu Lin’s answer couldn’t help but create a commotion.
"Haha, brother, there’s a limit to bragging! Anyone with a shred of common sense wouldn’t believe you."
"Exactly! This guy might look decent, but I didn’t expect him to be an idiot. What a waste."
"I heard a super genius is signing up at Iron Blood College today, someone who’s reached Level 1 Peak! They say he was trained by a super clan from Alien. This guy dares to claim he’s Third Level? He’s making himself out to be even more powerful than that genius!"
"Powerful? Only with his words! Hell, I could claim Mountain Breaking King Zhao Lei, Lord Zhao, broke through to achieve The title of King with my support!"
"Hahaha, and I could say Divine Martial King Zhang Nutao is my second uncle!"
"And I’m the one who regularly sprinkles seasoning for Barbecue King Liu Han!"
"Yeah, and I’m the one who..."
The crowd’s chatter grew increasingly outlandish.
However, Lu Lin turned his head, his gaze landing on the student who claimed to have helped Zhao Lei break through, and memorized his face.
I’ll need to investigate later, Lu Lin thought. Was it a failure by the Star Investigation Office that led to the leak of that secret?
The fact that Lu Lin had helped Zhao Lei reach the Promotion Realm was now a secret completely sealed within the Federation’s archives.
To maintain cover, the Star Investigation Office had even set Lu Lin’s identity confidentiality to Class C.
Otherwise, right after Zhao Lei was promoted to be a Titled King, Lu Lin’s file confidentiality would have been immediately upgraded to SSS Level. Even a fool could see something was amiss then.
Lei Ming looked at the composed Lu Lin before him, and doubt began to stir in his heart.
Could it be? Has he really reached Third Level?
No, no, no, impossible.
If any freshman could truly reach the status of a Third-Level Star-Core Fighter within a month of their Awakening, then he, Lei Ming, would dare to propose to Iron Blood College’s infamous ’Ferocious Female,’ Qi Feiyun!
"Lu Lin?"
Lei Ming glanced again at the form Lu Lin had filled out and noted the name. Suddenly, he remembered; the name on it, he recalled, was this very one. Back when the College Entrance Exam scores were released, he had received a peculiar application.
It was worth noting that Luse Alliance College was typically the last resort for examinees. Most, even knowing they likely wouldn’t get into their preferred university, would still apply elsewhere, hoping for a chance at a lower-score admission. Such cases weren’t unprecedented in the Federation’s history. Only after receiving rejection notices from their dream schools did applicants typically turn their attention to institutions like Luse Alliance. So who, like this Lu Lin, would list Luse Academy as their choice right after the scores were released?
In Lei Ming’s view, either Lu Lin was confident of winning the Challenge Match...
...or he had completely despaired, knowing no other academy would accept him, leaving Luse Alliance as his only option.
Could it be that Lu Lin truly possessed such ability, hence his confidence?
Lei Ming stared into Lu Lin’s eyes.
Confident.
