Chapter 31

"Where is he still not here?"

"Exactly, I'm waiting to go to the world battle points!"

"Damn, River God, you haven't lost everything yet?"

...

In the spacious hall, ninety-seven students were scattered about, in groups of three or two, having become quite familiar after seven days of interaction.

Each of these prodigies, dressed in elemental battle suits, was a talented gene warrior from various districts. The most eye-catching were the four in gene battle armor, who had been recruited early and enjoyed 'exclusive benefits.'

Long Qin stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the window, exuding a cold aura.

Wang Xiuming, with a friendly smile, mingled with several students, chatting and laughing.

The liveliest scene was in the center of the hall, where a handsome man and a beautiful woman formed a delightful pair. The man had long golden hair and a sunny smile, standing gracefully. The woman, dressed in a purple gene battle suit, had a delicate and youthful face, as gentle as a fairy, and got along very well with the other students.

Xue Jin and Xia Ling.

Suddenly, Long Qin's eyes slowly lit up, and a bright light flashed at the entrance of the hall. A man and a woman entered with their mentor, Yue Meng, and everyone's attention immediately focused on the man in the martial uniform.

"Wow~" Lin Feng's gaze quickly swept over, and he immediately felt a fiery stare.

It's her!

"She must be the Xia Ling that Tao Jing mentioned." Although he was mentally prepared, Lin Feng still shuddered when he met Xia Ling's gaze, which seemed to want to cut him into pieces. He wouldn't have cared if it were a boy, but a girl, and...

Xia Ling is only 16 years old this year.

Ignore it!

Lin Feng guiltily avoided Xia Ling's gaze, but suddenly felt another hostile stare. He glanced over, "He should be... one of the four specially recruited students, Wang Xiuming?" Lin Feng was puzzled. It was understandable that Xia Ling resented him, but he had never met Wang Xiuming before, so why the hostility?

Because of the Ancient Martial Arts Academy?

Or... because of one of the students he eliminated during the assessment?

Lin Feng was confused.

...

Lin Feng wasn't the only one confused.

Xue Jin looked at Xia Ling, the goddess he admired, with puzzlement. She usually had a smile on her face, so why the sudden change? He had never seen Xia Ling so angry. Following Xia Ling's gaze, Xue Jin saw Lin Feng, then looked back at Xia Ling. A glint of thought flashed in his eyes.

"Let me introduce everyone," Yue Meng smiled gently. "New student, Lin Feng."

"I'm sure you all know that Lin Feng earned a lot of points for the Gene Warrior Academy this year. Shouldn't we give him a round of applause to welcome the new student?"

"Sure!"

"We need to beat the Ancient Martial Arts Academy!"

"Awesome!"

...

Thunderous applause erupted, and Lin Feng smiled.

It seemed that everyone cared a lot about outshining the Ancient Martial Arts Academy.

...

After the introduction, Yue Meng took out a shiny crystal watch, which immediately caused a stir among the students.

"Mass C7!"

"Damn, this benefit is too good."

"It costs at least 120 silver coins outside, right?"

...

A big move!

Lin Feng took the star watch marked with Mass C7, feeling a bit surprised. Xue Jin's brows furrowed, puzzled. As far as he knew, the top-tier benefit should have been the 30 silver coin Jili D8, while the Mass C7 was at the level of exclusive benefits.

Despite this, Xue Jin didn't say anything, as 30 silver coins and 120 silver coins made no difference to him.

"All the benefits are in there," Yue Meng smiled. "Check them out when you get back."

"This is a battle crystal, which can be integrated into your gene battle suit, representing your identity." Yue Meng's hand glowed, and a golden square crystal appeared. Lin Feng reached out to take it, knowing the importance of the battle crystal. It was not just a symbol of identity but also a pass, representing the student's status in the Battle Academy.

Golden...

Lin Feng's eyes flickered.

"Wow~" A chorus of gasps, and everyone's expressions changed.

Even Long Qin, who had been leaning against the window, had his eyes light up, and Xue Jin's face changed dramatically. He raised his hand and said, "I don't understand, Mentor Yue. Isn't it only the specially recruited students who are eligible for the golden battle crystal and to live in Area A?"

"Not necessarily," Yue Meng's beautiful eyes looked at him, and she said calmly, "If you achieve Battle Star Level 3 in the Battle World, you can also apply to live in Area A."

Battle World, Battle Star Level 3?

Lin Feng mused, paying attention.

On the way here, Tao Jing had mentioned the Battle World, which was very important for every student.

"How could he achieve Battle Star Level 3!" Xue Jin was shocked. To reach Battle Star Level 3, one needed to be at least a high-level gene warrior.

"Lin Feng indeed didn't," Yue Meng smiled slightly, "but he is... a specially recruited student."

"The fifth specially recruited student of the 102nd class of the Gene Warrior Academy."

Wow~

A wave of discussion.

Even Tao Jing looked shocked, and Xue Jin's face turned pale, "Didn't Lin Feng get the top-tier benefit by passing the assessment?"

Yue Meng shrugged, "The three senior mentors unanimously agreed that Lin Feng, in terms of both strength and potential, deserves the exclusive benefits." This statement left Xue Jin speechless, his handsome face looking somewhat embarrassed, but he couldn't argue. He clenched his fists, veins bulging.

Exclusive benefits?

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile.

After all the twists and turns, from the Crown Elite Academy to the Sunset City Gene Academy, and now to the Battle Academy, he had finally received the exclusive benefits.

"Alright." Yue Meng clapped her hands, her beautiful eyes scanning the crowd, "On the first day of entering the academy, I told you that if you want something, you have to fight for it and earn it! At 18, your journey as a gene warrior is just beginning, and the Battle Academy will not shortchange any student with potential!"

"Whatever your abilities, we will provide you with the corresponding resources!"

"Whether you become a dragon or a worm depends on you!"

Yue Meng's words made the entire hall fall silent.

Every student's eyes were filled with fiery enthusiasm, their blood boiling.

※※※

"I'm troubling you again." On the way, Lin Feng smiled apologetically at Tao Jing.

"Not at all." Tao Jing lowered her head shyly, "We are friends." Her voice was soft, and she偷瞥着林 Feng, "Besides, it's Mentor Yue who arranged for me to help you get familiar with the academy." As she spoke, her red face relaxed a bit, showing a hint of pleasure.

"Um." Lin Feng nodded gently.

Looking around, he saw nothing but metal and mechanical high-rises.

Magnetic levitation stairs, floating castles, capsule houses, and a dense network of wireless eyes in the sky made the entire Battle Academy a tightly packed three-dimensional space, utilizing the space to perfection. If he had to explore it alone...

He would probably get lost again.

"Tao Jing, is the Battle World that interesting?" Lin Feng suddenly asked curiously, "I see everyone talking about battle points, is it different from the Battle World during our assessment?" Thinking of how eager the students were, Lin Feng was indeed puzzled.

Is a virtual reality network that captivating?

"Of course, in the academy, battle points are crucial," Tao Jing's face lit up, "You'll see soon, Big Brother Lin."

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully.

Tao Jing wasn't a playful or pleasure-seeking girl, so the Battle World must indeed have its uses.

"By the way, Tao Jing, do you have any information on Wang Xiuming?" Lin Feng's eyes brightened. From the beginning to the end, two gazes had been fixed on him, one from Xia Ling and the other from Wang Xiuming. If he said Wang Xiuming had no hostility towards him, he would be lying to himself.

"Ah!" Tao Jing's face turned pale, looking flustered and uneasy.

"Hmm?" Seeing Tao Jing's unusual reaction, Lin Feng's brows furrowed. Suddenly, a feeling stirred in his heart, and he looked ahead. As they descended on the electric stairs, a figure in a gene battle suit stood resolutely, seemingly... waiting for him.

Wang Xiuming?

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed.
