Of course, no one paid as much attention to these details as Ye Tian did.

The others were awestruck by the equipment in the base, with everyone expressing their admiration aloud.

“Brother Tian, look at these new weapons.

Usually, I can only see them on TV or the internet, but I never thought I’d get to see them in person.

This military training trip is totally worth it!”

Xiao Pang said excitedly, his eyes seemingly filled with little stars.

Just as some students were about to lean in for a closer look, Mu Yunlong immediately walked over and scolded them for their actions.

“Remember, these items are national treasures.

Don’t touch them recklessly.

Letting you see them is already a treat.

If you damage anything, the consequences will be severe, understand?!”

Hearing Mu Yunlong’s stern words, the boys who were about to approach quickly and awkwardly retreated back into the group.

“That was close, I almost ran over there too.”

Xiao Pang tiptoed back beside Ye Tian, carefully patting his chest.

Ye Tian had a forehead full of black lines.

Xiao Pang seemed quite interested in the military, so it looked like he’d have to let him experience something more impressive in the future.

After parting ways with Lin Chumo, Ye Tian headed to the dormitory and was quite lucky to be assigned to the same room as the Xu family’s eldest young master and his gang of lackeys.

As Ye Tian stepped into the room, Xu Hao and his two companions were initially surprised but soon exchanged knowing, meaningful smiles.

Xu Hao walked up to Ye Tian, extended his hand, and said, “I’m Xu Hao, the eldest son of the Xu family.

We have billions in assets and wide connections in Yunhai.

It seems that you and Lin Chumo are pretty close.

But look at you, not worth even 100 yuan from head to toe.

I could introduce you to a job so you can at least support your girlfriend!”

Although Xu Hao had a smile on his face, his mockery and sense of superiority were palpable.

Ye Tian, already sensing Xu Hao’s hostility, knew it stemmed from Lin Chumo.

Yet, Ye Tian didn’t take him seriously at all, as an ant cannot shake a tree, let alone the sky.

Seeing Xu Hao’s smug expression, Ye Tian responded with a light chuckle, “How much do those three guys make a month?

I want to see how much being Xu Hao’s lackey pays!”

One of the taller, fiercer-looking men stood up and said, “Ye Tian, don’t be ungrateful.

Young Master Xu talking to you is giving you face.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to take a step in Yunhai University.”

This man, named Zhang Dazhuang, was a bodyguard hired by Xu Hao’s father, Xu Liang, at a high price.

It was rumored that he was once a champion underground fighter.

“What if I don’t appreciate it?

Bite me.”

Ye Tian nonchalantly walked to his bed, placing his bag down right under Xu Hao’s nose without even looking at him.

“Damn it, so arrogant.”

Xu Hao fumed as he watched Ye Tian ignore his threats.

One of the lackeys, Liang Sheng, who had a rat-like appearance, walked up to Xu Hao and said, “Young Master Xu, don’t be angry.

Now that he’s in the same dorm as us, tonight we’ll make sure to teach him a lesson together.”

Xu Hao’s face twisted into a sinister grin at Liang Sheng’s suggestion, saying, “Indeed, let him taste my methods tonight.

For now, let’s go gather outside, or the instructor will start nagging again.”

Xu Hao swaggered out of the dorm, followed by his three bodyguards.

Other students shrank away as he passed, clearly intimidated by him.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian and Lin Chumo walked hand in hand towards the training field.

Apparently, Ye Tian was in such a hurry to leave because he wanted to meet Lin Chumo.

At that moment, Xu Hao encountered Ye Tian once more.

Xu Hao glared at Ye Tian with jealousy, while Ye Tian tightened his grip on Lin Chumo’s hand and walked past, ignoring Xu Hao’s murderous gaze.

Noticing this, Lin Chumo warned Ye Tian, “Tian, that looks like someone from a powerful family in Yunhai City.

He was just staring at us.

Be careful.”

Hearing Lin Chumo’s concern, Ye Tian playfully tapped her nose and said, “Who am I?

The invincible Ye Tian.

I’m your sky.

No way someone like him can defeat me.”

Ye Tian winked at Lin Chumo.

“Ugh, Ye Tian, stop poking my nose!

It might get crooked!”

Lin Chumo lightly slapped Ye Tian’s hand, but it was so gentle, it felt more like a gentle tickle.

“Got it, Lord Chumo,” Ye Tian saluted her playfully.

…

Following this, the freshmen at Yunhai University underwent grueling training under Mu Yunlong, including weighted running, sparring, military postures, squats, push-ups, and various other exercises.

As night fell, the sky turned pitch black, and Yunwu Mountain appeared to be shrouded in dark mist.

It was autumn, and the wind howled, occasionally bringing down red leaves that either landed on people’s heads or brushed against their faces, giving them goosebumps.

At this time, at the foot of Yunwu Mountain, on the outskirts of the military base, three figures huddled together, seemingly discussing something.

One of the shadows suddenly revealed a menacing smile, reminiscent of a demon.

After bidding farewell to Lin Chumo, Ye Tian strolled around the base, gazing at the unique scenery of Yunwu Mountain, his head lowered in thought.

When he returned to the dormitory, he found Xu Hao and the other three already lying in bed, their eyes closed.

Zhang Dazhuang was even snoring loudly.

Really, anyone else would think the four of them were fast asleep.

But as Ye Tian stepped in, he noticed that their breathing had been rapid just moments earlier, indicating excitement, and now it became steady, obviously contrived.

Watching the four, Ye Tian’s deep, lofty gaze shone brightly in the night like stars, dazzlingly sharp.

Ye Tian’s eyes twinkled with a scheming look.

“Faking sleep, huh?

Let’s see how long you can keep it up.

Tonight, I’ll play along.”

Ye Tian smiled mischievously and said, “So tired.

These four idiots sleep like pigs.” He then lay down and closed his eyes.

Hearing Ye Tian’s words, Xu Hao and his three companions, who were pretending to sleep, gritted their teeth.

“Just wait until you fall asleep, you’ll see what we’ve got for you!”

Huff…

Huff…

Huff…

Huff…

Listening to Ye Tian’s steady breathing, Xu Hao and the other three sat up in their beds.

Liang Sheng sneaked up to Ye Tian’s bedside and, seeing that he was sound asleep, gave Xu Hao an OK sign before returning to sit at Xu Hao’s bedside.

“Young Master Xu, this is the love potion I just bought.

Later, when I blow some at Ye Tian, he’ll completely lose consciousness.”

“Then we’ll strip him and carry him to the girls’ dormitory.

Tomorrow, when the girls see him, they’ll think he’s a pervert.

Lin Chumo will definitely break up with him!”

Liang Sheng spoke with a proud smile.

Turns out, the three shadows at the base of Yunwu Mountain were Xu Hao and his cohorts.

“Hold on.

Let’s turn off the lights first.

A cloudy, moonless night, perfect for mischief.”

Xu Hao ordered.

In the dark, four sneaky figures approached Ye Tian.

One of them held a packet that seemed like drug powder, and another burly figure held a burlap sack.

Of course, Ye Tian wasn’t asleep.

Watching the sneaky shadows on the wall, he smiled deviously.
