Chapter 5

After confirming his fingerprint, Lin Feng entered the classroom on the thirtieth floor.

The spacious and vast room reflected the shine of the metal floor, and the large panoramic windows provided a clear view of the academy's scenery. Rows of gene nutrient tanks were neatly arranged, equipped with supercomputers and consciousness helmets, allowing students to train and study 24 hours a day. Even at this moment, several gene nutrient tanks were tightly closed.

Number 32.

Lin Feng slowly walked to his own gene nutrient tank, which was slightly smaller than the one at home. He gently touched the cold metal surface, feeling both unfamiliar and familiar. Since the age of twelve, he had been educated here. The supercomputer contained complete courses, allowing him to learn while absorbing the gene fluid.

Of course, the academy also had mentors, but the classes were not frequent.

It was the master who led the way, and the cultivation relied on the individual.

"Hey, what wind blew our tenth-class genius here?" A mocking voice sounded. Shi Wenlong, dressed in a silver-white elemental combat suit, entered with his head held high, his arm around Wang Qian, who was dressed in red and had her head lowered. Two lackeys followed behind, making quite a spectacle.

The two lackeys immediately burst into laughter and whistled, and the gazes of the other students in the classroom also gathered.

They all wanted to know how much strength Lin Feng, whose brain domain had regressed to 5% after two years, still had. Or perhaps... whether Lin Feng was really as rumored, with damaged genes, unable to drive gene energy, and had become a waste.

However, they were destined to be disappointed.

Because Lin Feng showed no reaction at all.

"Say that again if you dare!" Yang Li, with his short temper, suddenly stepped forward, like an enraged bull.

"What, relying on your master's power?" Shi Wenlong sneered, glancing at Lin Feng with disdain. "Pity, your master is just a wimp." As he spoke, he grabbed Wang Qian, lifted her chin, and kissed her forcefully, causing a chorus of wolf whistles.

Lin Feng's gaze remained calm.

Glancing at Wang Qian's red elemental combat suit, he knew that with her family's conditions, she could not afford it.

In his memory, the innocent girl who used to laugh sweetly had grown up.

"Damn, you scoundrels!" Yang Li, who dared to speak his mind, mocked, "Just because you have a bit of money, you think you're something, a second-generation rich kid. Truly, once the scar heals, you forget the pain. I said, 'Toothless Prince,' two years ago, you were beaten to the ground by Ah Feng in the combat arena, and you've already forgotten?"

The surrounding students couldn't help but laugh.

The nickname 'Toothless Prince' was given to Shi Wenlong two years ago in the combat arena, where he had two front teeth knocked out in front of everyone. Since then, he had been known by this nickname. However, apart from Yang Li, no one had the courage to mention this embarrassing incident to Shi Wenlong.

Sure enough, Shi Wenlong's face turned ashen, and his eyes blazed with anger.

"You're asking for death!" Shi Wenlong pushed Wang Qian away, his eyes bloodshot. The two lackeys also rushed forward, shouting in anger.

Lin Feng's eyebrows furrowed, and gene energy instantly flowed through his body.

Although he didn't want to cause trouble, he couldn't stand by and watch his good friend be bullied. Most importantly, if Yang Li got a bad record because of this, it would be a big problem.

Suddenly—

"Stop!" A cold, sharp voice rang out, as if freezing the entire space.

The intense tension instantly dissipated. Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and the gene energy that had gathered in his body dissipated. He saw a short-haired woman in a white combat suit, with a heroic and graceful demeanor and long, shapely legs. Her appearance was like a brilliant star, instantly becoming the center of attention.

The mentor, Yin Roshuang.

She was very strong!

Lin Feng looked at Mentor Yin Roshuang, silent. Just now, he had felt a strong pressure, as if being watched by a hunter.

This was the strength of a high-level gene warrior.

"What are you doing?" Yin Roshuang's cold gaze swept over Lin Feng and finally landed on Shi Wenlong.

"Nothing, nothing," Shi Wenlong forced a smile. "Just saying hello." After saying this, he glared fiercely at Yang Li and Lin Feng, with a look that said, "We'll see about this later," before returning to his seat. The two lackeys followed, not daring to look at Yin Roshuang.

Joking, once a student had made a lewd remark to Yin Roshuang, and the result was...

Not only was one of his legs crippled, but he almost lost his third leg as well.

...

The authority of the mentor could not be challenged, and no one dared to act rashly.

Yin Roshuang never interfered with conflicts between students, considering it normal for young people to be hot-blooded. As long as they didn't cause trouble within her sight, it was fine. She took out a password box, pressed the fingerprint lock, and fifty bottles of gene fluid, clear and shiny, appeared neatly arranged. The students' eyes gleamed, and Lin Feng's heart also stirred.

Indeed, it was something to be desired.

Lin Feng knew very well that each bottle of gene fluid on the market was very expensive.

"Take them by number," Yin Roshuang said calmly.

The students began to collect the gene fluid in order, while Yin Roshuang made notes. Soon, it was Lin Feng's turn.

"Two bottles," Yin Roshuang announced, and the other students looked at him with envy. No one ever had too much gene fluid, but for Lin Feng, the feeling was different now. Once, he had been like the other students, looking forward to this day every month, but now...

His heart was very calm.

"Objection!" The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken. Lin Feng turned to see Shi Wenlong standing up, a cold smile on his face. "I think the academy shouldn't waste any more resources on a tenth-class waste. Giving Lin Feng gene fluid is a waste; he can't use it at all!"

"Isn't that right?" Shi Wenlong, with a righteous expression, incited the other students.

"Right!" "That's true!" The two lackeys echoed, causing the other students to murmur, seemingly agreeing. The once peaceful classroom became noisy, but Yin Roshuang's cold voice quickly silenced everyone.

"In my view, you are the waste," Yin Roshuang's cold gaze instantly made Shi Wenlong's face turn red, and he stood there, stunned, unable to move. Lin Feng smiled, his voice low, but it was even more piercing to Shi Wenlong's ears, distorting his handsome face.

※※※

"Damn bitch, one day I'll ride her and see if she's still so proud when she's moaning!" Shi Wenlong, full of anger, gritted his teeth.

"Exactly, acting all high and mighty, what's so great about her!" The lackey 'Hou Jin,' with a sharp mouth and a sly face, flattered.

"I said, monkey, when the boss is done, we'll have our turn." The other lackey 'Yin Se,' with gleaming eyes, rubbed his hands, recalling, "Every girl the boss has been with is super hot, just thinking about it makes me hungry."

"Are you eyeing Wang Qian?" Monkey sneered.

"How could I?" Yin Se laughed slyly, but his eyes kept darting around.

A look of arrogance flashed across Shi Wenlong's face, and he said disdainfully, "You guys are short-sighted and lack ambition. What's a woman? With money, you can have any woman you want. Want Wang Qian? Fine, kill Lin Feng and that dog Yang Li, and you can have her to play with as much as you want!"

Monkey and Yin Se's eyes lit up, their hearts racing.

"Boss, are you serious?!" Yin Se's breathing quickened, and his pants tented.

"Are you kidding? When has the boss ever lied to us?" Monkey stared.

Shi Wenlong sneered, "You guys are no good." A glint of determination flashed in his eyes, and the image of Lin Feng appeared in his mind. Shi Wenlong's forehead veins bulged, looking extremely fierce. For him, there was nothing more satisfying than getting rid of Lin Feng!

...

At this moment, Lin Feng was walking with Yang Li.

"Ha, that was really satisfying!" Yang Li laughed heartily, holding his stomach. "You didn't see Shi Wenlong's face, like a red apple, it was hilarious. Mentor Yin is so cool, one word from her and Shi Wenlong probably wanted to die."

"Yes," Lin Feng sighed softly.

Mentor Yin was a high-level gene warrior and had the backing of the academy. Even if Shi Wenlong had a wealthy family, would he dare to provoke her?

But what about himself?

In the academy, he was protected by his 'student' status, but after two months, he would leave the academy and lose that protection. Expanding his brain domain from 5% to the 10% threshold was not an easy task. Even his brother had taken three years to achieve it.

The cultivation of ancient martial artists was even slower.

To join the city guard or a martial school, it would take a few more years.

"Perhaps, I should join the Jiaoyang District Guard," Lin Feng thought.

Many graduates of the Jiaoyang District Primary Gene Academy chose to become guards, as it was safe, had benefits, and was close to home.

"But to be fair, Shi Wenlong is indeed lucky," Yang Li said, pursing his lips. "He spends his days eating, drinking, playing, and dating, but he still managed to reach a second-class brain domain width through his family's resources. He might even enter one of the three major advanced gene academies. Even if he doesn't, becoming a gene warrior is a sure thing. Fusing with even a D-level elemental core would make him far stronger than me."

There was a hint of melancholy in his voice, and Lin Feng, looking at him, knew what he was thinking.

Yang Li was not envious, but he had a sense of frustration. Despite his talent and hard work, he was still not as strong as Shi Wenlong.

"Do you remember what I told you a month ago, Ah Li?" Lin Feng smiled, taking out two bottles of gene fluid and handing them to him. "Don't give up. There are still two months until graduation. Do your best. In my heart, you are a hundred times stronger than Shi Wenlong."

Yang Li's eyes widened, and he reacted quickly, "No way, Ah Feng! How can I take your..."

"Take it." Lin Feng interrupted Yang Li, throwing the two bottles of gene fluid, which made Yang Li fumble to catch them. Looking at his friend, Lin Feng said softly, "The gene fluid is just a decoration for me now. It's better to use it. When you have the ability, you can pay me back later."

Holding the two bottles of gene fluid, Yang Li's face turned red, and he looked at Lin Feng, moved to tears.

"Alright, don't be so emotional, big guy." Lin Feng turned, his gaze sweeping over the distant classroom, and he patted Yang Li, whose eyes were moist, and smiled, "Let's go, I need you to accompany me to the Jiaoyang Combat Plaza."

"No problem, today's expenses are on me!"

"Really? I just need an elemental combat suit."

"Ah?"

...

The two figures slowly disappeared from the academy.

Behind the large panoramic windows of the classroom, two pairs of vicious eyes appeared.
