Quiet!
After Lin You's blunt words were heard, the atmosphere at the scene became noticeably stagnant.
The student who had named the person before was also stunned. He seemed to have not expected that someone would actually stand up and respond so domineeringly. His brain was a little stunned.
But he quickly came to his senses and locked his cold gaze on Lin You. As he looked him over, he sneered, "Are you sure you're the Lin You mentioned on the forum? If you step forward now, you'll end up in embarrassment and a bad ending."
At this point, he spread his hands and said sarcastically, "After all, you're replacing the legendary Lin You, who can easily crush small characters like us. He's a super genius that only appears once in ten years. I really want to believe that you are really that strong, but can I ask you to show the corresponding strength?"
forum?
Lin You understood and guessed what was going on.
He was too strong in Jiangcheng University, and was spread around by students of the school.
Even if it is the truth, it sounds like nonsense to outsiders.
As one of the top ten cities, Jiangcheng has a constant stream of talented people emerging every year, not only local people but also talents from other places who come here to visit.
It is unlikely that someone can easily defeat everyone else and become the recognized strongest newcomer in Jiangcheng.
Unless the strongest newcomers from the two top duel cities, Magic City and Imperial City, come to participate in this training camp, there will be a chance, and the chance is not small.
Of course, not necessarily this year.
This year, a monster with an innate physique suitable for demons appeared in Jiangcheng. With Du Zhizhong around, even the geniuses from the Imperial Capital and the Demon City would probably not be able to crush him, right?
Thinking about it this way, it is actually normal for these people to question themselves. It would be strange if they didn't question themselves.
But this does not mean that you can stand up so rashly and rudely and chase him like a mad dog.
"strength?"
Lin You said calmly, "It's really easy for me to deal with you. Besides, I am who I am. I, Lin You, am not so bored as to pretend to be someone else."
As he was speaking, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, Lin You, I didn't expect it was really you, long time no see!"
The person who spoke was a petite, energetic girl with short hair. She walked out of the crowd of Asaba High School, walked quickly to Lin You, and asked excitedly, "Where's the little cutie? Is that little cutie still following you?"
With this interruption, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly changed.
When Lin You heard this familiar voice, his heart moved slightly. He thought of something and turned his gaze away.
Just as I imagined, I saw an acquaintance.
It’s still an acquaintance from Jianghua High School.
Deng Yuxin!
She was a strong girl who was always at the top of the duel class and was unshakable.
Her Origin Card 'Marshmallow' also left a deep impression on Lin You.
At that time, marshmallows were almost unsolvable.
But now, Lin You knows that the so-called protection from destruction by battle is also divided into different levels.
The White Star Monster's marshmallows are said to be indestructible in battle, but there is actually an upper limit to their durability.
It is equivalent to a huge natural shield, but this shield will not be damaged at all by the attack of the White Star Monster.
But if you replace it with a Black Star or even a higher level monster, there will be a way to break through, but it will still take a lot of time.
Regardless, this special effect is considered extremely powerful.
Apart from this, Lin You's other major impression of her was naturally her special liking for cute monsters.
This is actually not uncommon. Many female duelists have this hobby, but the degree varies. It is relatively rare to find someone as fanatical as her.
"Still following."
Lin You smiled and said, "It's been a while. How are you? Which university are you attending now? Are your studies going well?"
"Asaba High School."
Deng Yuxin quickly said, "This is the college my brother used to attend. Do you want to duel with him later? I haven't seen the little cutie in a long time. I miss him so much."
Lin You didn't answer, but was slightly stunned.
Asaba High School?
The fifth-ranked university in Jiangcheng.
Although it is still a first-class university, with Deng Yuxin's conditions, she is fully capable of going to a better university, right?
Since she didn't come to Jiangcheng High School, Lin You thought she would go to Maple Leaf High School, where Pei Fei was said to have gone.
Just as I was thinking about him, I saw a man with glasses walk out from the crowd of Maple Leaf High School. He smiled and said, "Long time no see, Lin You. It seems you have become a very important figure."
"I was just thinking of you. It's true that whatever you think of comes true."
Lin You chuckled and said, "Pei Fei, did you really go to Maple Leaf?"
Pei Fei didn't shy away from saying, "Yes, this is the university I decided to attend a long time ago. It also meets my expectations and imagination. As for some people's impetuousness, that's another matter."
The words were suggestive, and the Maple Leaf student who had previously expressed doubts immediately looked at him unkindly. "Pei Fei, who are you insinuating about? Can you clarify your own position?"
Then, he looked back at Lin You and said coldly, "Okay, Lin You, right? You're more confident than I thought, but confidence comes from fighting, not words."
"So you want to compete with me now?"
Lin You smiled faintly and said, "I can satisfy you, and I don't mind wasting this little bit of time. Just come and give it a try."
The other party remained silent.
Didn't talk easily.
Although his ability is pretty good in Maple Leaf High School, enough to rank in the top ten, he is ranked relatively low and cannot be compared with his brother.
This level of strength is considered outstanding even among all the geniuses present.
But when facing Lin You, he actually lacked confidence.
I thought this was just a boastful character, but now, the other party has really stood up, and he is quite domineering.
Even though the evaluation of him by people in Jiangcheng University is a bit exaggerated, he must be a tough guy in Jiangcheng University.
The top three should be there!
If a real duel breaks out, there is a high possibility that he will lose, which will be a disgrace to Maple Leaf High School.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at someone.
The man quickly said in a deep voice, "You can fight, but not now. Several instructors are nearby. A hasty duel here will not only cause trouble for you, but also for both universities. The training period is long, and there will be plenty of opportunities to compete in the future. For now, let's hold off."
Just as he finished speaking, someone from Jiangcheng High School walked out and said unhappily, "Who are you? You were the ones who provoked us, and now you're the ones who are calling for a halt. Do you think we need Maple Leaf High School to teach us how to do things?"
The man was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "We were reckless just now. I apologize for that. If you have any dissatisfaction or resentment, you can vent it on me after the training begins. I, Du Zhizhong, will not complain at all."
Du Zhizhong?!
The guy from Jiangcheng University was immediately shocked.
Is he Du Zhizhong?
At this moment, not only him, but also the students from various schools, all focused their eyes on Du Zhizhong.
This person's reputation for having an innate demonic physique is genuine and not at all false.
Many people even think that this person is probably the strongest newcomer in Jiangcheng this year!
Even though not much has been revealed about this person, his innate physique suitable for demons is enough to explain a lot.
Past examples are there.
Anyone who possesses this physique is almost always a top-notch super genius.
Jiangcheng hasn't produced a new person with this physique for at least several years.
The appearance of Du Zhizhong broke this awkward streak. How could it not attract attention?
The guy from Jiangcheng University didn't say anything more.
But it was not because the students of Maple Leaf High School apologized, but simply because the person who apologized was Du Zhizhong.
But when Du Zhizhong stood up to apologize, everyone at Maple Leaf High School looked somewhat unhappy.
Especially the one who had taken the initiative to find trouble before, he looked at Du Zhizhong anxiously, hesitating to say something.
But before he could make up his mind, Du Zhizhong said in a low voice, "Xiao Heng, stop talking."
"Brother Du, no..."
The man was completely anxious and was about to speak, but at this moment, he saw Du Zhizhong frowning, sighing in frustration, and shut up.
"Well? If you can accept this apology, then please stop for now."
Du Zhizhong's gaze fell on Lin You.
"It's just to make things clear."
Lin You said calmly, "That's as you wish. It happens that I'm not interested in wasting time on this."
It is enough as long as the attitude is clear and the other party is willing to admit his mistakes.
In fact, it is impossible to start a duel without paying attention to others now.
It is already the training period now, and the instructors will not turn a blind eye to such blatant disturbances.
This small conflict ended with Du Zhizhong's apology.
Everyone at Maple Leaf High School was a little depressed. They had just met and had already suffered a small loss, but they didn't want to make trouble again.
That means taking Du Zhizhong's apology as a joke.
It's not a pleasant thing to make this person angry.
Therefore, some Maple Leaf students who wanted to vent their unhappiness were now staring at the people from Jiangcheng University with a covetous look. Naturally, the people from Jiangcheng University were not at all intimidated and held their heads high and chests puffed out.
What are you looking at?
Du Zhizhong has already "bowed his head", what else do you small fry want to do?
Shameful!
Ignoring the confrontation between the two sides, Lin You, Deng Yuxin and Pei Fei reminisced about the past.
On the beach, gradually, another mechanical fortress appeared.
Students from other universities have also arrived.
Two groups of people came up from a mechanical fortress, but came down.
Those universities with lower rankings have to compete for seats.
Spell the sixth and seventh numbers together.
The eighth, ninth and tenth numbers are combined into another one.
The ranking is low and there are few participants. There is nothing we can do.
By the time everyone arrived, it was almost noon.
The instructors responsible for activating the mechanical fortress were also preparing to leave.
Consistent with the information received previously, these people are not participating in this training camp, and there is only one person in charge.
But we don’t know who it is yet, but he must be quite capable to be able to train so many geniuses.
"Please wait a moment. The training instructor will be here soon. I wish you smooth training and rapid growth."
Instructor Chen, who brought everyone from Jiangcheng University here, smiled and said something before leaving. Without staying any longer, he quickly drove away from the mechanical fortress.
The other instructors are similar.
Some simply said nothing, leaving only a meaningful smile and then quickly left.
On the beach, students from various schools gathered and waited.
At this moment, not so many people are communicating freely.
Even when speaking, he kept his voice low.
The training instructor is coming soon, and he will most likely be an extremely strict instructor. It is better to be honest for now to avoid bad luck later.
This wait lasted for about ten minutes.
At the back of the beach, a figure suddenly came into everyone's sight.
He seems to be a man with a strong physique. Looking at his physique, in the minds of the students, he is confirmed to be a devil instructor.
But when the instructor approached, the students were a little surprised.
Nothing else.
There was a gentle smile on the other person's face. Not only that, judging from his appearance, he was the approachable type.
Combined with that smile, he looks like a sunny and warm man.
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
Soon, the instructor approached, first sizing everyone up, then spoke gently, "Everyone, it's nice to meet you. As you can see, I'm the 'devil' instructor responsible for your training this time. Don't argue, I'm sure many people think so, but it doesn't matter. Previous impressions are irrelevant. I just hope that over the next month, I can get along with you, get along as friends, and grow and progress together."
At this point, he slapped his head and apologized, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jia Jiao. You can call me Coach Jia, Brother Jia, or Old Jia. It's all fine. It's up to you. Whatever is easier to remember. I have a bigger problem. There are too many of you. It may not be easy for me to remember you all. I hope you can bear with me in this regard. In short, I will try to remember each and every one of you. I also need to work hard!"
Jia Jiao said a lot at once, but the more he spoke, the more confused everyone became.
What, what is going on?
Why is it different from what I imagined? No, it’s too different!
Devil instructor?
What nonsense!
It would be fine if the facial features didn't match, but a gentle voice could also be considered a congenital condition.
But what he said now, no matter how you listen to it, doesn't sound like something a devil instructor would say, right?
Shouldn't we give them a warning as soon as they arrive, and intimidate those students who may not be obedient during the training?
What's going on now?
Doubt, confusion, and surprise!
Jia Jiao seemed to have guessed some of their thoughts and couldn't help but smile. "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at being strict, so I might disappoint you. To express my apology, why don't you have a good meal first? In fact, I have already prepared a big meal for you. After lunch, you can rest for a while and then go swimming together to relax. The water here is very nice, and the weather is great today. I think the formal training will start tomorrow. It may be a little hard, and I hope you are prepared."
“…”
It’s even quieter!
What did the instructor say?
Relax on the first day of training?
Not only a great meal, but also a very knowledgeable organization to go swimming in the sea?
Oh shit!
Some people suddenly became excited, and one student couldn't help but shout, "The instructor is awesome!"
This sound quickly set the rhythm.
Many students began to shout that the instructor was awesome.
Some students were already looking at the beautiful girls present with great anticipation, imagining the dreamy scene of them wearing sexy swimsuits and letting the sea water soak their delicate skin.
There are quite a few beautiful women present!
"Ah, I didn't expect to have a full meal. I wonder what kind of feast it will be."
Guo Rui was also very excited, but he was not excited about the female students in swimsuits, but about the feast that the instructor mentioned.
Lin You was a little confused.
how so?
Could it be that my previous thinking was wrong? Lao Xia said that the danger of this training camp came from one person.
The first person that comes to mind is naturally the instructor in charge of this training camp, or in other words, who else could it be besides the instructor?
But now it seems a little unpredictable.
However, it is not surprising that the answer that comes to mind most easily is not the correct answer.
Could it be that there is someone lurking in those villas?
Lin You soon had some ideas, but it was still difficult to judge now, so he decided to go to the villa and take a look first.
"Okay, everyone, follow me now. If you have any questions, we can talk while we eat later."
Jia Jiao smiled and spoke, leading the way.
In fact, there is no need for a guide. After all, the villas are so eye-catching and very close to here.
Before long, everyone arrived near the villas, five to be exact.
Each building is extremely grand and huge, all divided into three floors, and each has an area of more than 1,500 square meters.
The area is quite large, but there are also many people living in it.
There are a total of ten universities participating in the training camp. The number of people from five top-notch universities combined is nearly 500, while the number of people from the remaining five universities combined is less than 200.
There are about 700 people, and each villa can accommodate more than 100 people, but it can actually accommodate them completely.
As they approached the villas, Jia Jiao said again, "Classmates, there's a banquet hall inside each villa, in the restaurant on the first floor. You can go to any villa you like. Take this opportunity to get to know each other and strengthen your relationship. Afterwards, I'll visit each villa in turn."
There was soon a commotion at the scene.
Many people have started looking for old acquaintances. Some of them were high school classmates, but they may not have gone to the same high school. This is a good time to catch up.
Lin You followed the people from Jiangcheng University as usual and went to a nearby villa.
An acquaintance also followed, not Pei Fei, but Deng Yuxin.
She was still thinking about Chestnut Ball, and kept talking about it when she followed him.
"Lin You, when the training officially begins, you must remember to let the little cutie out for some fresh air. During the past few months I've been at Asaba High School, I've missed it constantly. It's your Origin Card. Could you please tell it how much I love it?"
"I will."
Lin You felt a little embarrassed. Is this little guy really so popular?
"coolie!"
The chestnut ball suddenly flew out, with its short little claws sticking out of its furry body, looking very proud.
Lin You couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself: "Little guy, I didn't know you would care about this. Someone likes you so much, you must be very happy, right?"
"Coolie~"
Chestnut Ball nodded without denying it at all.
At this moment, some sounds came to my ears.
It was the "whisper" between Chu Ke and Qi Yuxuan.
"Sister Yuxuan, that pretty short-haired girl seems to be very close to Brother Xiaoyou. Do you think they are having an affair?"
Qi Yuxuan remained calm and quietly patted Chu Ke on the back of his head. "Don't be so gossipy. It's not polite to talk about things behind someone's back, especially when you're so close."
It was indeed very close, so close that Lin You was only two meters in front of him, and these words were clearly heard by him.
He had long been accustomed to this. This girl, Chu Ke, just liked this. Her gossipy heart was always burning.
No matter how Qi Yuxuan tried to correct it, he couldn't change it back.
Chu Ke stuck out her tongue innocently, then looked around. Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, she quickly pulled Qi Yuxuan aside, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Sister Yuxuan, Sister Yuxuan, there's something going on, a big situation!"
"Stop being so startled, okay? My little ancestor, what's wrong?"
Qi Yuxuan felt helpless.
Chu Ke quickly said, "Sister Yuxuan, didn't you notice? There's a stranger behind us. He must be from another university."
"Is that strange?"
Qi Yuxuan said nonchalantly, "There are also many people from other colleges who know students from our class. They came together for a meal before the training officially started. How can you make such a complicated connection with such a simple thing?"
“It’s not that simple!”
Chu Ke smiled mysteriously, then said firmly, "He's staring at Brother Xiao You, and his eyes are very fierce. With that kind of look, either he has a grudge against Brother Xiao You, or..."
At this point, she poked Deng Yuxin in front of her with her little hand and said, "Wow, could this be the legendary love rival? This is too exciting!"
Why!
Qi Yuxuan sighed inwardly, feeling tired.
The bad thing about little girls is that they read too many romance novels, as they always have some bizarre associations that open up their imaginations.
How come I suddenly imagined a love rival?
He shook his head, glancing at the person Chu Ke was talking about from the corner of his eye, but his expression shifted slightly.
Wait, that seems a bit unkind.
That look was mostly staring at Lin You's back.
Is it really so bloody?
Qi Yuxuan blinked, but it was not easy to make a final conclusion at this time.
Be a little careful and keep walking.
Soon, everyone walked into the villa's gate.
The door is open.
Once inside, a one-wheeled robot slid over, uttering a monotonous, repetitive mechanical voice, "Follow me, follow me."
Everyone followed it, first passing through a magnificent hall, and then turning a corner.
Click.
The robot opened a door for everyone, and inside the door was a spacious and well-ventilated restaurant.
There are several long tables in the restaurant.
Each one is more than ten meters long, and one bed alone can accommodate dozens of people dining at the same time.
At this moment, what is placed on the table can be said to be a full banquet of Manchu and Han cuisine.
What’s more important is that it’s difficult to name almost every dish.
Crystal-textured, jelly-like meat, rainbow-colored exotic curry, golden bread, and more.
Every dish is extraordinary and is rarely seen on the market.
Some students who are more particular about food felt amazed at this moment.
And some foodies can't keep calm anymore.
“Is this heaven?”
Someone murmured, and the next moment, they quickly took their seats.
Guo Rui also hurriedly took a seat and then excitedly waved to Lin You, "Lin You, come and eat, this is simply perfect. Luckily I made it to the advanced class, otherwise I would regret missing this feast for the whole year!"
Is it that exaggerated?
Lin You smiled, but even for someone like him who was not particular about food, his appetite was aroused when he saw the delicious dishes on the table.
"Coolie~"
Even Chestnut Ball's eyes lit up as it set its eyes on several rare desserts on the table.
But he didn't act immediately and looked at Lin You.
At this time, there are many people around, and if it rashly eats the food on the table, it may cause a stir.
Others cannot see Chestnut Ball in its elf state.
I'm afraid it will turn into a supernatural event.
"Yours is indispensable, don't worry."
Lin You also knew that the little guy liked this, so he calmly brought some desserts nearby to his table, then slightly leaned over to cover it.
No one paid any attention to this side, and soon, Chestnut Ball started eating happily.
A look of happiness quickly appeared on his face. It looked delicious.
Several tables were soon occupied and everyone took their seats.
After traveling for such a long time, everyone was already hungry, and now they encountered such a rare feast. Even the few people who had no appetite ate something simple at this moment.
At the table, everyone was eating and chatting.
Lin You's table was naturally no exception. Most of the people sitting at this table were students from Jiangcheng University.
But there are a few exceptions, such as Deng Yuxin.
But it doesn't affect it.
It's not from Maple Leaf High School.
Besides, even if it’s Maple Leaf High School, it’s nothing.
External conflicts are conflicts, but there is no need to escalate personal issues to the collective level.
What's more, if there is a conflict, just deal with it in the right occasion. No one should feel guilty. It can be put aside at the dinner table.
We ate and chatted for a while, and then someone came in.
When they saw him, everyone stopped eating and said in unison, "Hello, instructor."
"They're all eating."
Jia Jiao said with a smile, "How is it? Does it suit everyone's taste?"
"What are you talking about, instructor? This feast is simply amazing."
"Yes, Instructor Jia, this is not your craft, right?"
Some people are curious.
"Nothing."
Jia Jiao smiled and said, "This is specially prepared for you by the association's top chef. If I were this good, I wouldn't have any trouble finding a girlfriend."
"Ah? Instructor, you must be joking. With your good looks, there should be several long lines of girls pursuing you, right?"
"Yeah, are girls nowadays so short-sighted?"
"Hey, I'm telling you guys, stop blasting me. What do you mean girls these days are so tasteless? We don't think so. Instructor Jia is so handsome and has a good temper. He's so popular no matter how you look at him. You should say that girls out there are pretty good."
A group of people chatted with each other, praising Jia Jiao highly, and were in a very happy mood.
It is a blessing to meet an instructor with such a good temper.
Although it is said that strict teachers produce excellent students, having a good temper does not mean that the training methods are inferior.
Jia Jiao is a training instructor personally selected by the Duelist Association. How could his abilities be bad?
No student will worry about this.
The students praised him for a while, and then someone suddenly asked, "Instructor Jia, there's something I want you to explain to me."
The person who spoke attracted a lot of attention.
It’s nothing else, the one who spoke was Deng Zhuo!
Jia Jiao was still as kind as ever. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Deng Zhuo nodded and said, "What exactly is this place? A secret place, or some special area?"
Hearing the question he asked, the students at this table, as well as those at other tables, all looked over here.
I almost forgot, this question is very crucial!
Many people have discussed this before.
Where is it that requires a mechanical fortress to travel continuously in a space channel for five hours?
“A lot of people are concerned about this.”
Jia Jiao smiled, but quickly explained, "This place can be said to be a secret realm, but it's not. It can be understood as the special area you mentioned. It's a space specially opened up by the Duelist Association. This space is also specially used to help you train."
Independent space?
Everyone was a little shocked. To open up a space on their own, this was no simple feat!
The Duelist Association is indeed powerful.
After getting the answer, Deng Zhuo nodded again, "Thank you, instructor, for clearing up my doubts."
Then, he sat back.
After he took his seat, several students asked some questions.
Jia Jiao also patiently answered his questions one by one, and then prepared to leave. He still had to visit other villas.
Before leaving, he reminded, "Everyone, after dinner, around one o'clock, everyone will gather at the beach to relax. I hope no one will refuse. Leisure team building is also part of the training camp. We are all students of Jiangcheng, so we should get closer to each other. As you know, the National Freshman Exchange Competition will be held in March next year. At that time, some of you may fight side by side. It's not a bad thing to get to know each other better now."
After saying that, he added, "By the way, you don't have to worry about the swimsuit, just go directly."
