Chapter 30

"Didn't you know about that monster dormitory?" Wang Yuan widened his eyes, looking at Mo Wen in disbelief.

"I don't know. Tell me, what's so special about that dormitory that makes you react like this?"

Mo Wen naturally knew there was something strange about that dormitory, but Wang Yuan clearly knew something he didn't.

"My God! I really don't know how you managed to survive."

Wang Yuan almost fell to the ground when he heard this, looking at Mo Wen as if he were incredibly naive.

"That dormitory is famously known as the monster dormitory at Huaxia University. It's said to have a history of over a hundred years and is a special zone in the school dormitories, reserved only for monsters. Ordinary people would never go there. Those who can stay in that dormitory are definitely monsters."

Wang Yuan looked at Mo Wen as if he were from Mars, even suspecting that Mo Wen was deliberately teasing him.

"Monsters?" Mo Wen stroked his chin, thinking of the ugly boy Ren Liusha. Compared to ordinary people, he was indeed a monster.

"Exactly. It's said that Huaxia University designated that special area a long time ago. The people who can stay on that floor are all misfits who can't get along with normal people. However, in recent years, a strange phenomenon has occurred. The five people on that floor are all staying in the same dormitory, while in previous years, they mostly lived in separate dormitories."

Mo Wen nodded. Indeed, his dormitory had five people, and the other dormitories on that floor were all empty.

"Have you heard of the 'Five Monsters of Huaxia University'?"

Wang Yuan suddenly leaned in mysteriously.

"No."

Mo Wen shook his head, satisfying Wang Yuan's curiosity.

"Legend has it that the Five Monsters of Huaxia University are the five strange people living in that dormitory. Their fame surpasses even the most popular campus beauties and rich kids. Almost everyone at Huaxia University knows about them. They are secretly called the Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Ghost, Northern Demon, and Central Transgender."

"Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Ghost, Northern Demon, and Central Transgender?" Mo Wen's lips twitched, and he shook his head with a smile.

"Exactly. Don't underestimate them. They are all people no one at Huaxia University dares to provoke. According to a friend of mine, they are all powerful ancient martial artists with unfathomable cultivation levels and unpredictable temperaments, but their abilities are incredibly formidable."

Seeing Mo Wen's indifferent reaction, Wang Yuan rolled his eyes. Mo Wen was like a newborn calf, fearless of tigers, showing no concern for the famous Five Monsters. He didn't know that Huaxia University was a place of hidden dragons and tigers, and those who could gain such a reputation were not simple people.

"They are indeed all ancient martial artists."

Mo Wen nodded in agreement. Ren Liusha was skilled in insect cultivation, and someone with such powerful insect cultivation naturally wouldn't have low internal energy cultivation.

However, Mo Wen didn't know Ren Liusha's exact cultivation level. After all, his own cultivation was still lower, so he couldn't discern much.

"Do you really live in that monster dormitory?"

Wang Yuan asked skeptically. If Mo Wen didn't even know about the Five Monsters of Huaxia University, how could he possibly live in that monster dormitory?

Mo Wen shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

"You can tell me this, but don't go spreading it around, or it will be a laughingstock."

Wang Yuan rolled his eyes again. Seeing Mo Wen's silence, he naturally assumed Mo Wen was lying. Although Mo Wen was also an ancient martial artist, he was far from the Five Monsters. His friend, also an ancient martial artist at the internal breath stage, would turn pale when talking about the Five Monsters.

Wang Yuan knew how terrifying the monster dormitory was. It was said that the dormitory was full of evil spirits and heavy yin energy, and ordinary people would fall ill after staying there for one night. It was also said that Southern Ghost's room was filled with dead bodies, and he spent his days with the dead.

As for Northern Demon, he was a cruel and bloodthirsty person. His room was filled with various human organs, some soaked in liquid, some stored in containers, and some thrown on the ground. It was said that they were all people he had killed himself, and one could smell the blood and killing aura from five meters away.

However, the most terrifying was the Central Transgender. It seemed that the other four of the Five Monsters were all wary of him, though Wang Yuan didn't know why.

Just hearing about the monster dormitory was enough to send shivers down one's spine, let alone living in it. If Mo Wen really lived in that monster dormitory, how could he still be alive to attend the military training? Wang Yuan wouldn't believe it.

Mo Wen didn't bother with Wang Yuan and walked back to the dormitory.

However, from Wang Yuan, he learned some rumors about that dormitory. It was indeed not a normal place. But why he was assigned to that dormitory was still a mystery. Could the school have known he would dare to live there?

That was clearly impossible. Could the dormitory manager have made a mistake when assigning rooms? That was also unlikely, given the dormitory's fame, it wouldn't appear on the list of new student assignments.

Could it be that the dormitory manager deliberately did this to him? Or was someone trying to get back at him?

But that didn't make sense either. He had no grudge with the dormitory manager, so why would he target him? And this wasn't a joke; if it got to the school, it could lead to serious consequences.

Could Cheng Hao have known he would appear at Huaxia University and bribed the dormitory manager to put him in that monster dormitory?

But when he saw Cheng Hao later, he was clearly surprised, indicating he didn't know Mo Wen would be at Huaxia University.

Mo Wen couldn't have imagined that the reason was Shen Jing. The dormitory manager was a fervent admirer of Shen Jing. When he learned that Mo Wen had a close relationship with Shen Jing, his dark side immediately took over, and he sought revenge without hesitation.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a full moon hung in the sky, unusually bright. The weather was perfect, with a cool breeze making the summer evening pleasant.

At 7 PM, the trainees from the four military training camps began to gather on the playground. A simple stage was set up in the middle, complete with all the necessary equipment.

The evening party would be held on this stage.

The trainees were excited. After two weeks of intense training, their tightly wound nerves could finally relax.

After two weeks of training, the trainees' spirits were no longer the same as when they arrived. The four training camps were divided into four areas, forming a semicircle around the stage. The trainees sat neatly on the grass, their gazes straight, the formation orderly and without a hint of disorder.

Although there were over two thousand people in the venue, the playground was very quiet.

Tonight, no one wore the serious military uniforms, but rather casual clothes. The boys wore shirts and shorts, while the girls had a variety of outfits, from dresses to evening gowns, shorts, and even stockings and high heels. Everyone exuded youth and enthusiasm.

"It's said that the female trainees' camp has prepared many programs. One program from the female camp is equivalent to three from the male camps. We're in for a treat tonight."

"Yeah, there are many beautiful girls in the female camp, but I haven't managed to get any of their contact information."

"It's said that the camp beauty, Qin Xiaoyou, will perform on stage tonight. She's my goddess."

"Ha, there are plenty of people in the military district who like Qin Xiaoyou. You're not the only one."

"It's said that the camp beauty has a close relationship with a guy named Mo Wen. Damn, I've investigated several times but couldn't find that Mo Wen. The people in the third company, ninth squad, are all tight-lipped and won't say anything."

"Me too. Damn, if I find that Mo Wen, I'll make him pay."

"Shut up, do you think you're something? You think you can lay a hand on the camp beauty?"

"What do you mean? Are you looking for trouble...?"

...

In the three male training camps, there was a lot of chatter, but the most discussed topic was always the camp beauty, Qin Xiaoyou.

With her excellence and competitiveness, Qin Xiaoyou quickly stood out in the female camp and became the recognized camp beauty. Her beauty was self-evident, and there were few girls in the female camp as naturally beautiful as her.

But what was most attractive was her inner qualities. Military training easily showcased a person's character, especially for girls. Their gentle yet strong, never-give-up spirit easily touched others. She was a combination of beauty and excellence.

In the training camp, many trainees secretly called her the "Gentle General," a woman who could be compared to a general. Perhaps many trainees imagined her as someone who could excel in both social and domestic settings and fight on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, they were all wrong. Only Mo Wen understood that Qin Xiaoyou was not gentle on the outside and strong on the inside, but rather strong on the outside and gentle on the inside. She wasn't a woman who wanted to fight on the battlefield but one who needed protection. However, no one had ever truly protected her, so she had to protect herself.
