Chapter 30

Room 3288.

Lin Feng tightly pressed his lips, looking at Yang Li lying on the white bed sheets.

It was so quiet, as if he were just sleeping, except for the energy drip connected to one wrist and the body function monitor connected to the other. The once robust and fierce Yang Li had now become a vegetative state.

How ironic!

Clenching his fists, Lin Feng's chest heaved repeatedly.

Behind Lin Feng, Lin Yuer and Tao Jing were secretly shedding tears. Although it wasn't the first time they had come to see Yang Li, the two women still found it hard to bear their sorrow.

"Ah!" Lin Yuer couldn't help but burst into tears, overwhelmed with grief. Tao Jing gently held her in her arms, comforting her. Lin Feng's eyes sparkled with a crystalline luster, filled with guilt and hatred, and a deep sense of determination.

"Trust me, Ah Li."

"I will soon earn enough money to invite the God of Wealth to heal you!"

"And... I will definitely avenge this!"

Closing his eyes, Lin Feng's mind instantly conjured up the image of Shi Wenlong.

Snap! His eyes gleamed brightly, and Lin Feng, like a drawn alloy combat knife, turned and left the ward.

After sending his sister home, Lin Feng and Tao Jing headed to the Combat Academy.

"New QP?" Lin Feng looked at Tao Jing in surprise, knowing that she wasn't wealthy.

A QP magnetic levitation car costs around 10 silver coins, equivalent to a bottle of ordinary gene liquid.

"It's a reward from the academy." Tao Jing lowered her head and said softly, "Brother Lin, did you forget? Both Yang Li and I received second-class benefits. The academy not only provided us with a magnetic levitation car but also assigned us a dormitory in Area C, so we don't have to share a room with several people like in Areas D and E."

"Among the second-class benefits, there is an E3-level elemental core. I chose the 'Chromium Core.'" Tao Jing glanced at Lin Feng.

"Chromium Core?" Lin Feng pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Among the three E-level elemental cores, the Chromium Core is indeed the most suitable for you."

The Manganese Core enhances strength; the Iron Core enhances defense; the Chromium Core enhances speed. Tao Jing's slender build and physical attributes were only above average in speed, so fusing with the Chromium Core was indeed the best choice at present. Of course, this only applied to E-level elemental cores. If the scope were expanded to D-level and C-level, many light nucleus and electromagnetic elemental cores would actually be more suitable for Tao Jing than the enhancement type.

Above B-level, there are special types, but these are super rarities that are hard to come by.

"She... fused with a special type elemental core." Lin Feng's eyes sparkled as he recalled the purple-clothed girl he met during the assessment, whom he accidentally kicked on the buttocks and was mistaken for a pervert. Her strength, especially the elemental power that blended into the mist, was unfathomable.

Even now, despite becoming an ancient warrior, he still had little confidence in facing her.

"I will likely encounter her..." Lin Feng muttered to himself.

...

In this technological era, driving is a simple matter.

Everything is automated by the superbrain. You just need to know how to turn it on and off, like a light switch. Jumping off the magnetic levitation car, Lin Feng and Tao Jing walked into the Combat Academy side by side, drawing many envious glances. Tao Jing, who had taken off her martial uniform and put on an elemental combat suit, didn't have the fiery figure of Mentor Yue Meng, but she had a unique, delicate, and charming aura.

Tao Jing seemed a bit shy, not knowing where to place her white, tender hands.

"What's wrong?" Lin Feng smiled at Tao Jing, "Afraid of being seen?"

"No, not really." Tao Jing blushed and looked a bit embarrassed.

"Truly, a girl changes greatly as she grows up." Lin Feng smiled and looked at Tao Jing. In the初级基因学院 (Primary Gene Academy) in Jiaoyang District, she was completely unremarkable, coming from a poor background and underdeveloped, which made her short. He vaguely remembered her wearing patched clothes and shoes when she was young. Now...

The change was significant.

Hearing Lin Feng's praise, Tao Jing's face turned red, and she bit her lip, suddenly mustering the courage to look at Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, if... I mean, if someone pursues me, would you mind?"

Huh?

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback.

"It depends on who it is." Lin Feng smiled faintly, his eyes showing a hint of confusion, and then a soft look as he gazed at Tao Jing, "If he truly cares for you, I would be happy for you."

"Really?" Tao Jing's face turned pale with a hint of red, and her eyes showed disappointment as she lowered her head.

"I believe with your intelligence, you will make the right choice." Lin Feng wasn't worried about Tao Jing at all. This quiet and shy girl was much more mature than the seemingly smart Wang Qian, "By the way, the academy has been in session for many days. Tell me about it?"

"Okay."

...

Returning to the Combat Academy.

This time, Lin Feng was no longer a candidate for the assessment but a true member of the Combat Academy.

Listening to Tao Jing's introduction, Lin Feng learned a lot about the Combat Academy. As he had known before, the Combat Academy is a college that encourages competition and focuses on 'combat,' emphasizing practical combat. The internal competition within the academy is intense.

In the Combat Academy, the stronger you are, the more you get.

Especially between the Gene Warrior and Ancient Warrior divisions, the rivalry is intense.

"Brother Lin, you stole the show in the assessment, and the Ancient Warrior division is very upset and wants to regain their face." Tao Jing smiled faintly, glancing at Lin Feng, who was still a bit shy but much more familiar than before, "In every admission assessment, the Gene Warrior division has always been completely suppressed by the Ancient Warrior division, except for our class..."

There was a hint of pride in her words, and Tao Jing's face was radiant.

Lin Feng looked at Tao Jing's smile and inwardly sighed. This wasn't good news for him.

From Tao Jing's words, he could clearly sense a sense of 'belonging.' The tension between the Gene Warrior and Ancient Warrior divisions... seemed quite significant.

And himself...

It seemed he had caught the attention of the Ancient Warrior division.

Headache!

Lin Feng was also helpless. The trouble with the purple-clothed girl hadn't been resolved, and now the Ancient Warrior division was causing more issues. He would just have to see how things unfolded. Walking down the corridor and through the fork in the road, Lin Feng soon saw the entrance to the Gene Warrior division, towering like a mountain, with three laser cannons on each side, their dark muzzles exuding an intense pressure.

Above the main gate, the character '战' (Combat) was like a giant dragon coiling, standing proudly.

"This!?" Lin Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His eyes widened as he looked up at the '战' character engraved on the metal gate, his heart surging with emotion.

In his mind, it was as if a shadow was holding a combat knife, like a heavenly warrior, bursting with fighting spirit, and splitting the sky with a powerful strike...

"Boom!" Lin Feng snapped back to reality, his chest heaving.

It was like a dream, yet incredibly real. Spreading his hands, Lin Feng saw that they were covered in sweat.

"What's wrong, Brother Lin?" Tao Jing was slightly stunned.

"Nothing." Lin Feng's face was a bit pale. He raised his head and looked deeply at the '战' character, feeling as if his heart would leap out of his chest, "Was it an illusion? Or... a real existence?"

"Could this be what the ancient warriors call..."

"Combat Knife Intent!?"

Lin Feng was shocked.
