After Qin Yang, Lin Dongling, and the others finished lunch, they went back to the dormitory and brought the packed lunch boxes for the guys to eat.

The afternoon military training started at two o'clock.

Even though early September in Jiangnan isn't as hot as the north, it's still quite warm in the afternoon, with training sessions lasting from two until five.

After three continuous hours of training, most of the students are sore, making it a perfect time to relax a little.

After five, there's usually a singing competition organized, and in some places, it's held in the evening.

The singing competition generally splits into two groups, though sometimes there are several groups singing together, shouting and inviting each other to sing.

Qin Yang's major happens to have two classes, Class One and Class Two, each with around sixty students, roughly equal in number.

"Class One, give us one."

"Give us one, Class One."

"One, two, three, hurry up!"

"When you're called, you come, when you're told to sing, you sing!"

"..."

At this moment, the large sports field was filled with the resonant sound of the singing competition, the shouting deafening.

A day of military training can be pretty exhausting for these college students, who usually don't exercise much, so this was a good opportunity to let off some steam.

The major Qin Yang belonged to was naturally part of it, with Class One and Class Two inviting each other to sing.

"One, two, three, four, five, we've been waiting so hard."

"If you don't sing, you'd better go home soon."

"..."

Class One, led by Chief Instructor Liang Gang, collectively sang a song called "Unity is Strength," while Class Two, led by female instructor Li Ying, sang a military song.

After a round of singing competition between the two classes, the focus shifted to the instructors and the students present.

Under the students' encouragement, Liang Gang was the first to step out, performing a set of military martial arts moves. A male student then volunteered to recite a fast-talking piece, which garnered a lot of applause, followed by a female student who sang a song.

"Goddess Dongling, give us one..."

In a group of students, pretty girls naturally attract attention, and within a few minutes, some boys turned their gaze to Lin Dongling.

Under the students' cheers, many eyes turned towards Lin Dongling.

"Then I'll sing a song for everyone."

Lin Dongling's face turned slightly red, but she graciously stepped up.

"Alright, let's give her a warm round of applause."

Beside her, female instructor Li Ying spoke with a smile.

The venue erupted in loud applause, and Lin Dongling stepped to the front.

"The most beautiful scene in my life

is meeting you.

In the vast sea of people, I gaze at you quietly,

strange yet familiar.

...

A thousand years later, where will you be

What kind of scenery will be by your side

..."

The lyrics and melody of this song "Star Moon Myth" were very moving, and Lin Dongling's voice was clear and ethereal, as if transcending through time, directly touching people's hearts.

At that moment, even the eyes of several nearby formations turned towards her.

"A goddess is always a goddess, singing so beautifully."

"I can't take it, I've already fallen for her."

"Tsk, really? She's already taken."

"By whom? The goddess just started college, who moved this fast."

"..."

As the song ended, many boys in the venue began to shout.

"It's that guy, that guy is quite close to Goddess Dongling."

In a short time, many eyes fell on Qin Yang.

"I even saw them eating together in the cafeteria today."

"That guy is only a tiny bit more handsome than me, and my goddess has been taken away just like that."

"..."

The surrounding conversations reached Qin Yang's ears, causing him to smile wryly. Ever since he met Lin Dongling, trouble seemed to follow.

"Give us one, Qin Yang!"

Unknown who it was, someone shouted from the crowd.

"Qin Yang, give us one!"

"Come on when you're called, why hesitate..."

"..."

The other boys also shouted together, the uproar growing louder. Although some wanted to see Qin Yang's embarrassment, having taken away their goddess so soon, most were good-natured, with a playful spirit.

"Alright, I'll perform something too."

Qin Yang smiled and stood up. Since the girls stood up to perform, he couldn't back down, could he?

"Sing, sing!"

Seeing Qin Yang step to the front, the crowd immediately began to shout.

"Singing alone is boring, we want a love song duet, right, everyone?"

"Yes, we want to hear a love song duet."

"..."

The students' calls rose one after another, and the atmosphere quickly reached its peak as many eyes fell on Qin Yang and Lin Dongling, whose pretty face flushed red.

"Ahem, let's forget the love song, I'll perform a magic trick instead."

Qin Yang cleared his throat and said.

Hearing Qin Yang's words, the students' uproar quieted down, apparently not expecting Qin Yang to say that he would perform a magic trick.

"Alright, let's have Qin Yang perform a magic trick for us."

Instructor Liang Gang glanced at Qin Yang and said promptly.

"Does anyone have tissues?"

Qin Yang glanced at the crowd and asked.

"I have some here."

A nearby girl took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang smiled slightly, took the tissues, and removed one, spreading it open.

"Does anyone have a lighter?"

Qin Yang looked around, and Instructor Liang Gang handed over a lighter.

"Everyone, look closely, there's nothing on this tissue."

Qin Yang unfolded the tissue in his hand, smiled, and said to the crowd, then pressed the lighter to ignite the tissue.

Whoosh!

The tissue instantly caught fire, quite dazzling.

With a flick of his hand, the flame disappeared, revealing a crisp red 100-yuan note in Qin Yang's hand.

In an instant, everyone's expressions changed.

"Wow, he actually turned it into a hundred bucks!"

"Yeah, without any sign..."

"Watching his hands appear empty, where did that hundred come from?"

"..."

The students erupted into excitement. Although they had seen such magic tricks before, witnessing it up close, where a bright red hundred appeared with a "shwoosh" after the flame, was quite a sensory shock.

Qin Yang smiled slightly, knowing the fire and tissue were just a trick, and as for that hundred yuan, a mere thought prompted Qin Yang to retrieve it from the Spatial Storage Talisman.

"Do another one!"

The crowd enthusiastically said, spirits high.

"Haha, alright, I'll perform another one for everyone."

Qin Yang chuckled lightly.

"Watch closely, this is still a piece of paper."

Qin Yang said, taking out a tissue and repeating the previous steps, then pressing the lighter to ignite the tissue in his hand.

Whoosh!

The tissue caught flame, the blaze rising, then Qin Yang flicked his hand again, the flame dissipated, and in Qin Yang's hand appeared a pristine snow-white lotus.
