Chapter 348: Impressive!

Translator: AtlasStudios  Editor: AtlasStudios

Nie Ting disappeared after he entered the base, while the other students who were released to survive alone in the city started to arrive. Only then did Lu Shu suddenly realize that in total, including Chen Zuan and himself, there were eighty-four Class A geniuses.

But earlier on the train, there were only thirty-two. Thus, subconsciously, Lu Shu had thought that there were only thirty plus attendees at the assessment. Judging from the current state, those unfamiliar faces were actually even more pitiful than Cheng Qiuqiao and the rest.

In fact, they had reached the Capital five days earlier than those from the Beijing-Guangzhou line, and all of them had secretly sneaked in. In other words, Lu Shu’s batch was in the assessment for ten days while the rest were in it for fifteen days.

But all of those students were scattered in different districts and none were at the train station, which explained the fact that neither side ran into each other.

Undeniably, it took Nie Ting immense efforts to avenge his people.

With no one attending to them, the other students were at a loss upon their arrival, and could only wait for further notice.

As for Lu Shu and Chen Zuan, everyone in the Heavenly Network was interested in taking a look at the two rookies who had fought for a few days with the veterans.

Some experienced fighters uninvolved in the mission gathered near them, “You are Lu Shu, and you are Chen Zuan, right?”

Other Class A geniuses were utterly confused. Were they celebrities? Why was everyone so curious about them?

To the veterans, no hard feelings should be taken after the assessment was over. At the end of the day, it was not out of personal hatred, but that they were ordered to deal with the students. After all, all of them were comrades-in-arms.

Now, every member in the Capital’s Heavenly Network was aware that over a hundred veterans were tasked to beat up two rookies for three days and four nights. In the end, however, not only did they fail to catch the newbies, but they even had their money robbed as well.

In addition, quite a few veterans who did not manage to catch up with their team were beaten black and blue by the rookies. Although Lu Shu’s fists knew the limits, he did not go easy with his enemies faces.

That had earned him some nicknames in the Heavenly Network. In their daily chats, when people could not remember his name, they would say, “Oh, the one who robbed our money the other day?” or “Oh, the one who only hits people’s face when he fights?”

Speaking of which, interestingly, during actual interpersonal interactions, the veterans were all starting to respect, or even admire, the two fellows. How very impressive!

Back in their days of assessment, who could fight back against the veterans? But now, there were two exceptions.

However, they also knew that it was mainly Lu Shu’s credit and was none of Chen Zuan’s business.

Hence, they attracted many veterans’ attention. One person even shouted elatedly, “My goodness, I’ve been wanting to beat Hao Zhichao up for so long! I’ll treat you to a beer another time!”

Sat by the side, Hao Zhichao’s face darkened at once, “Shut up!”

In fact, many people said similar things, but did not target Hao Zhichao alone, “My goodness, I’ve been wanting to beat XXX up for so long! I’ll treat you to a beer another time!”

“My goodness… I’ll treat you to a beer another time!”

As a result, Lu Shu immediately became a very popular person in the entire circle of the Capital’s Heavenly Network.

Casting Chen Zuan’s feelings aside, other Class A geniuses waiting there were all in shock. Who were those two beasts? They had been exhausted enough just trying to earn themselves a living, but how come it seemed that those two fellows picked a fight with more than one hundred veterans?

Holy crap! How strong were they?!

Nonetheless, what they did not know was that in fact, Lu Shu was only busy trying to escape, and his most brilliant fight was only against Hao Zhichao and four others. But with so many people talking at once, they thought that Lu Shu and Chen Zuan were chasing one hundred plus veterans and beat them all up, which was pretty scary…

Therefore, the misunderstanding successfully made Lu Shu a demon-level figure in those Class A geniuses hearts, someone they simply could not afford to mess with…

In fact, in the crowd, there were two people from Qingzhou who had met Lu Shu before.

The girl and the boy already knew that Lu Shu was powerful, as he was given a major military credit by Chen Baili once they were out of the Salt Lake remains. Furthermore, his sister was extraordinarily strong as well, which made Lu Shu even more unforgettable.

At that time, they had yet to be convinced by Lu Shu’s power, but now, they had clear evidence. He was indeed strong!

Those Class A geniuses who arrived late were confused by the commotion, but after knowing the truth, they all held Lu Shu in high regard, he was that much of a professional?!

Meanwhile, those who arrived in the Capital together with Lu Shu were puzzled by another question. They all witnessed Lu Shu being carried away in a luxurious car, so why was he back here again?

Their discussion made Lu Shu want to laugh. How would they believe that he was taken back by the Heavenly King himself?

At that moment, all of the Class A geniuses were guided into a giant auditorium. To Lu Shu’s surprise, the underground base was enormous, it was just like an inverted skyscraper.

A man was standing on the podium. Lu Shu had seen him before. It was Shi Xuejin.

Lu Shu’s impression on him was rather vague due to his low-key character, but he did remember that Li Xianyi had mentioned before that this man was resolved to be well-versed in the three teachings and to show a path to cultivation for the ungifted, ordinary people. Besides that, Lu Shu did not know anything else about the man.

After everyone had settled down, Shi Xuejin smiled, “Research has shown that those who travel often have a higher chance of success. Does anyone know why?”

Lu Shu pondered for a while, “Because their parents are rich?”

“From Shi Xuejin’s distress, +199…”

As a man of manners, Shi Xuejin completely ignored him and continued, “In addition to reading widely, you need to explore different places as well. But your traveling is meaningless unless it offers you a clearer understanding of the world and also, of yourselves. I believe, in the past fifteen days, each and every one of you have certain takeaways. Maybe you are still unclear about some points, but don’t rush. We can take it slow.”

“This time in the Capital, it was more of short-term training than a progress report. You are all Class A aptitude geniuses, who are bound to become future mainstays in our Heavenly Network. But, cultivation ability alone is clearly insufficient. The world is full of injustices. It will fall into chaos if everyone uses his or her power for their own gains.”

“More importantly, I will explain in detail the various methods of cultivation to you. The Yinyang Kinship of the Three that you have learned is incomplete, as it was created solely for the purpose of fast improvement in abilities. But, when you reach Class C and are competent enough to ascend to Class B, we’ll have to catch up with all the scenery that we have missed.”
