CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 121: START OF SCHOOL

August 22nd, the opening day of Mingjing City University.

The annual batch of new students is also enrolling today.

Long queues are forming at the gates of each college in Mingjing University, creating a lively atmosphere.

Xu Lingyun stands among the new students, looking very eye-catching.

First, his height is just over two meters, with a strong muscular body. The green short-sleeve shirt he’s wearing looks like a tight tank top on him. He’s wearing shorts that reach his knees, exposing two big hairy legs, and a pair of flip-flops.

More eye-catching is the broad longsword slung across his shoulder, looking very imposing.

Xu Lingyun actually has quite a dignified appearance, but his attire and demeanor give off the vibe of a mountain bandit.

Among a group of eighteen-year-olds, he looks like a tiger among a flock of sheep, incredibly conspicuous.

Xu Lingyun is rather pleased, exuding confidence. In his eyes, these classmates are like cute little creatures, completely harmless and easy to handle.

As a side branch of the Xu Family, he grew up in the Tenth Ring District and often went into the mountains to hunt, engaging in fierce battles with various gang members.

One could say that growing up, fighting was a daily necessity. Xu Lingyun developed a competitive nature, displaying talent through continuous combat.

At fourteen, Xu Lingyun was sent by the Xu Family to study under a famous swordsman and even renamed Xu Lingyun.

At the start of the year, Xu Lingyun reached Level 5 and completed his first Genetic Sequence Mutation Evolution.

Therefore, attending university is because Xu Lingyun’s cultural knowledge is lacking, and his temper is too short-fused. The Xu Family hopes he can learn restraint and find tranquility on campus.

A powerful swordsman must possess great wisdom. Those who only know fighting can’t go far.

The Xu Family has high hopes for Xu Lingyun, hoping he will become an exceptional swordsman, not just a thug.

In fact, Blood Shadow single-handedly changed the situation in Mingjing City, decisively thwarting the two super-organizations, Divine Shield Group and Black Dragon Association.

Previously, everyone knew that swordsmen were strong, but knowing is one thing, and understanding is another.

Blood Shadow displayed the grandeur of an exceptional swordsman, one person, one sword, unstoppable, all who block perish.

Such majestic demeanor makes the prestigious families of Mingjing City extremely envious.

Sending Xu Lingyun to Mingjing University is the Xu Family placing even greater hopes on him.

Xu Lingyun, for his part, doesn’t really understand this. However, at his age, filled with vigor, he also loves new things.

Seeing a large group of peers, Xu Lingyun is quite excited. His eyes scan around and he suddenly spots a petite, beautiful girl.

The girl has her hair in a bun, wearing a green Sword Dao uniform, holding a sword box in one hand and luggage in the other. Her small round face is particularly pretty and cute. When exchanging glances with others, she always slightly nods, appearing exceptionally polite.

This little beauty is clearly very energetic and filled with Primordial Qi, yet she behaves with composure and courtesy. Moreover, this beauty seems quite formidable.

Xu Lingyun has a near-beastly sharp intuition. He can’t meticulously sense the changes in Source Power nor analyze the subtle movements of opponents. He evaluates people based on feeling.

He can immediately sense if someone poses a threat to him.

This petite beauty in front of him surprisingly gives him a slight feeling of danger. Clearly, she is truly capable.

Xu Lingyun becomes more interested in the little beauty, striding over to say, "My name is Xu Lingyun, what’s yours?"

Qingyi Fei Niao looks at the wild large figure in front of her. She doesn’t really like his direct and rough manner nor his aggressive stance.

Such a strong and direct way of asking a girl’s name, only Gao Xuan can make it non-offensive.

But Gao Xuan is poised and charming, even when flirting, it’s debonair and flowing.

This Xu Lingyun, it’s like a wild bear eating honey, crude and savage, oblivious to others.

Qingyi Fei Niao slightly nods, "Sorry, it’s not convenient to tell you my name."

Xu Lingyun raises his thick eyebrows, "What, look down on me?"

"Not at all."

Qingyi Fei Niao takes a small step back, showing no intent for conflict with Xu Lingyun.

Xu Lingyun gets even more displeased. To him, asking a name is no big deal, just making a friend, he’s not intending to do anything.

Xu Lingyun steps forward, looking down at Qingyi Fei Niao, "I hate it when people look down on me. Now tell me your name, and we can still be friends."

"Sorry." Qingyi Fei Niao’s voice is not loud, but very firm. There is no fear on her pretty round face.

After acquiring the Yin Yang Sword, her father helped her purchase the Skywalker Gene Potion. She has already completed a Genetic Sequence Evolution.

The Xu Lingyun in front of her is strong, but not superior to her. As a swordsman, Qingyi Fei Niao is confident enough. If the opponent really wants to fight, she can cut him down.

Xu Lingyun’s voice is extremely loud, and other students also notice the conflict between the two. However, with Xu Lingyun’s rough appearance, no one wants to meddle.

"What are you doing, trying to bully someone?"

Jiang Xuejun comes out of the crowd, standing beside Qingyi Fei Niao with a very assertive attitude.

Xu Lingyun glanced over Jiang Xuejun, and couldn’t help but show a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth. With such weak strength, she dares to meddle in others’ business. However, this girl dresses wildly and looks quite pretty.

But when he turned his gaze and saw the two people behind Jiang Xuejun, the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

One of the girls was dressed in a white casual outfit, with striking features and a tall figure. The cold purity in her brows made her seem distant, making a lasting impression.

Xu Lingyun had seen all kinds of beauties and had been with many, he considered himself experienced.

But this was the first time he had seen such an elegant and cold aura in a girl.

Xu Lingyun was greatly moved, this beauty outshone the cute round-faced girl he liked before.

But when he saw the boy beside the beauty, he was truly stunned.

Xu Lingyun didn’t have much education and didn’t know how to describe the other party. He just felt that this boy was too good-looking, so dazzling that it was blinding.

Even with so many beauties around, beside that boy, they were like stars beside the bright moon, becoming mere background.

Xu Lingyun was stupefied for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask the boy, "Who are you?"

"Gao Xuan."

Gao Xuan smiled slightly, revealing white teeth as neat and clean as jade.

A group of students around were staring hard at Gao Xuan, regardless of gender, those who saw Gao Xuan for the first time had the same reaction.

Xu Lingyun squinted slightly, feeling that Gao Xuan’s smile was too dazzling and blinding.

"You’re really good-looking. My name is Xu Lingyun."

Xu Lingyun thought for a moment and added, "I find you pleasing to the eyes, from now on you’re my friend. If anyone bullies you, just mention my name."

"Alright."

Gao Xuan wasn’t angry, instead, he smiled politely, "Please take care of me in the future."

For some reason, Xu Lingyun felt a bit guilty under Gao Xuan’s smile. It didn’t seem appropriate to continue acting tough.

"Giving you face, I won’t hold a grudge over this matter."

Xu Lingyun threw out a polite phrase, turned, and left.

Jiang Xuejun rolled her eyes unhappily, this big guy really knew how to find himself a way out.

Any one of their Four Saints could teach this kid a lesson.

Stimulated by Gao Xuan, Jiang Xuejun practiced hard at home for over a month, and actually advanced to Level 5. Once stabilized, she could use a genetic potion to guide a breakthrough.

She was now full of confidence. Although she couldn’t compare to the two freaks Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang, she wasn’t inferior to Qingyi Fei Niao.

If An Hu hadn’t died, she could have fought him. In her eyes, Xu Lingyun wasn’t even as good as An Hu.

Jiang Xuejun felt good about herself, and Gao Xuan didn’t discourage her. Xu Lingyun was indeed much stronger than her. Qingyi Fei Niao might not even be able to beat Xu Lingyun.

This young man had a beast-like intuition, and his combat awareness obviously far surpassed Qingyi Fei Niao.

If there was no sudden demise, becoming a tenth-level swordsman would be quite easy.

In the memories of Gao Xuan’s past life, there was no Xu Lingyun. This was normal. Although talents like Xu Lingyun were rare, there were still plenty on a planet.

Few geniuses genuinely reach the peak. Fallen geniuses would be forgotten, unable to leave a mark in the long river of history.

Jiang Xuejun felt she had scared away Xu Lingyun and was in a good mood. She helped Qingyi Fei Niao with a suitcase and led the way familiarly, "I know Teacher Wang from the Sword Dao Institute well, I’ll take you for the registration."

Jiang Xuejun had studied for a year and was already very familiar with the Sword Dao Institute. Her family background was also good, and she managed all relationships smoothly.

The Sword Dao Institute was an independent campus with vast grounds. Jiang Xuejun brought Gao Xuan and the others to a teaching building and found Director Wang Chang’en, who was in charge of the 08 freshmen.

Wang Chang’en was very polite to Jiang Xuejun. Such trivial matters like registration were not his job, but he personally registered Gao Xuan and the others, assigned them to Class 08, and let them choose their dorm rooms.

Although Gao Xuan had a place to stay, the dormitory still needed to be collected. The three chose three adjacent dorm rooms.

Mingjing University, as the top university in Mingjing, had single-occupancy dorms with excellent environments.

With such single-occupancy dorms, there was no gender separation.

The school’s monitoring system was strict; breaking into someone’s dorm without permission had serious consequences.

After handling these trivial matters, Wang Chang’en encouraged them a few words, then politely saw them off.

Once Gao Xuan and the others left, Teacher Wan Tao walked over and whispered, "Director Wang, is this the Gao Xuan?"

Wang Chang’en nodded, "Keep a close eye on Gao Xuan, and make detailed records of all violations. Immediately report his major issues."

Wan Tao felt a bit troubled and said, "Director Wang, Gao Xuan seems to have good relations with the Jiang Family, should we be more cautious?"

"What are you afraid of? Gao Xuan has offended many people, including the Jiang Family, the Xu Family, and the Zhang Family want to deal with him!"

Wang Chang’en sneered, "A brat from the countryside thinks he can act recklessly just because he’s good-looking. Little does he know that a noble family can crush him with a simple gesture!"
