Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 177 - 163: Why Is Iron Blood College So Competitive?
"What!"
Long Qiansu, Wan Shushan, Wang Jianfang were stunned.
Could it be that the method to cultivate spiritual strength, which has troubled humans for a thousand years, is going to appear today?
"Haha, I won’t tell you guys, I’ll try it myself first."
"If I advance to Titled King, I’ll share it with you then."
Long Qianli chuckled softly and didn’t continue explaining, his figure slowly dissipated.
Leaving a few people looking at each other in dismay.
"That heartless guy, even won’t tell me."
Long Qiansu muttered and also slowly left.
Wang Jianfang and Wan Shushan were speechless, you sisters, if Long Qianli really understands what Lu Lin said and starts cultivating spiritual strength, would she not tell Long Qiansu?
But as for them, they were simply running a wasted trip.
Wan Shushan also left.
Only Wang Jianfang and Wu Hongming remained seated on the sofa.
Lu Lin speculated that the two of them must have something to say.
Sure enough, Wang Jianfang coughed twice: "Lu Lin, first of all, welcome you to Iron Blood College, and successfully challenging all freshmen, currently you are already a top-level student."
"In time, your certificates of elite level and scholar tyrant level, honors, and various rewards will be sent to you, just focus on cultivation."
"However, remember to go to school for classes every day, you have never been to the Exotic Battlefield, there will be courses teaching relevant knowledge in class, let Teacher Wu arrange this for you."
"Okay, thank you Principal Wang, thank you Teacher Wu."
Lu Lin quickly expressed his gratitude.
Such a small personal matter of his, yet Wang Jianfang cares about it, indeed made him feel flattered.
"Um, these are minor issues, what I want to tell you is, soon, at the end of this month, the preliminary rounds of the Federation University Student Games will begin."
"In past years, students participating in the University Games had to reach at least Level 4 realm, you are an exception this year, go observe it."
"The University Games are held every two years, it’s the highest level event for college students in the entire federation, by going you can broaden your horizons."
"Next time, when you are in third year, I expect you to bring back the first place for Iron Blood College."
"Alright."
Lu Lin was also familiar with the University Games, the University Games are held once every two years.
The location is usually within the Exotic Battlefield.
But due to the Exotic Battlefield prohibiting any use of electronic devices, each University Games, the outside world can only know who ascended the total champion’s throne, and which university became first on the points leaderboard.
Iron Blood University, though it has many geniuses, often only manages to secure individual champions each time, ranking second on the school points leaderboard.
The first place is Hua Xia Military Academy, with a stable and unshakable status.
Wang Jianfang’s intention is for Lu Lin to, in two years, when he achieves the total champion title himself, also lead Iron Blood University to the top of the points leaderboard.
Lu Lin naturally understood.
He is confident in the speed of his ability progress, though he dare not say he will advance to Seventh Level or Level 8 in two years, reaching Sixth level should certainly be possible.
By then, sweeping away all university participants, naturally he can achieve a double first-place result.
"Great, since that’s the case, you’ll attend classes here at Luse Academy, too, our school’s competing team is also training here, you can find Lei Ming then."
What?
Lu Lin stared blankly at Wang Jianfang, not understanding what he meant.
"Principal... Principal Wang, didn’t I already successfully challenge, why do I still have to attend classes here at Luse Alliance Academy?"
Seeing Lu Lin’s expression, Wang Jianfang laughed.
Wu Hongming also laughed.
"Lu Lin, let me explain this."
The establishment of Luse Alliance Academy was initially to stimulate Iron Blood College’s students, always reminding them that there’s a group of people behind waiting to catch up.
When the academy was first established, the last 100 students of every grade would be assigned to attend classes at Luse Alliance Academy.
The rundown teaching buildings, simple cultivation facilities, and accommodations akin to pigsties constantly remind those dispatched to Luse Alliance Academy:
Falling behind means being beaten.
Suddenly downgraded from Iron Blood College, a federation’s top institution, to Luse, everyone’s hearts were unbalanced.
Some gave up on themselves, simply stopped cultivating.
Some slacked off, seemingly cultivating, but their minds were elsewhere.
Yet there were those who rose from shame, diligently cultivating, hoping to someday beat the students who were stronger at the time, venting their anger.
A year later, Iron Blood College announced the challenge match.
Every Luse Alliance Academy student could freely challenge the Iron Blood students.
This news, once announced, instantly brought hope to those who persevered in cultivating through despair.
Many succeeded in charging into the school’s leaderboard’s top ten through a year of bitter cultivation at Luse Alliance Academy.
Inspirational.
Exciting.
Hope.
And tangible things like reputation and scholarships.
Instead, those challenged and defeated students could only be downgraded into Luse Alliance.
After years of such operation, the challenge game had taken shape.
The annual freshman challenge match is broadcasted live across the entire federation.
While the competitions for sophomores, juniors, and seniors remain internal, regarded as an internal martial arts activity.
Throughout the years, the reason Iron Blood University students have such a high learning atmosphere is because they fear being scrubbed to Luse Alliance Academy.
If talent truly doesn’t suffice, then it’s an exception.
But everyone was admitted through qualifications, who is willing to admit they’re worse than others?
Going to the Exotic Battlefield, buying Star Power Potions, joining various enterprises, in order to acquire more resources, the students of Iron Blood College have been hustling for years.
Especially when it’s close to graduation in their senior year, the craziness of those students makes even Principal Wang and Wu Hongming terrified.
No one wants "Graduated in XXXX from Luse Alliance College" written on their graduation certificate; that would be a lifetime disgrace.
"So, Lu Lin, you should see, the reason why there are few old students in Iron Blood College and Luse Alliance College is because of this."
"No one will stop striving if they have someone always chasing behind them."
"Similarly, many students retain this fighting spirit of Iron Blood College even after they graduate, joining large federation corporations. Their annual income and growth aren’t something ordinary peaceful martial artists can compare to."
Lu Lin listened secretly clicking his tongue.
What kind of extreme measures do these people think of to get students to study and practice diligently.
Threaten the students from Iron Blood.
Tell them, if you don’t push yourself today, tomorrow may not be enough.
Give the students from Luse hope.
Tell them, don’t worry if you’re not doing well now; with effort, you can pull others down.
They are hustling.
Unquestionably, they are hustling.
Lu Lin even thought if he were fortunate enough to enter Iron Blood College, he would definitely be driven mad by the school’s system.
"Meanwhile, to motivate the students of Luse Academy, the school puts the University Games Sprint Class here to allow Luse students to see role models."
"People better than you are working harder; what reason do you have to go back to sleep?"
"Secondly, it’s to remind those geniuses that among the federation’s current nine Titled King strong individuals, frankly, none are inherently gifted; if they give up, the end result will be just anyone among the masses."
"However, the cultural courses at both academies are the same; even at Luse Alliance College, you can learn the same courses as Iron Blood College."
"How about that, relieved now?"
Lu Lin shook his head.
He wants to enter Iron Blood College.
He worked tirelessly to challenge.
He achieved a streak of fifty accomplishments.
He became a top-level student at Iron Blood College.
Why take classes at Luse Academy too?
"Well, since Lu Lin has no issues, let’s head out first."
Wang Jianfang overlooked Lu Lin’s head shake, his figure slowly dissipating.
Wu Hongming opened his mouth to say something but ultimately opened the door and left quickly.
Lu Lin...
He feels like he’s been duped.
But there’s no evidence.
Lu Lin picked up the Demon God Record booklet and put it in the safe in his bedroom.
At this moment, the phone rang.
Of course, the first to call were mom and dad. First, they congratulated Lu Lin on his successful challenge, then mom said Lu Lin dared to fool her, and promised to give him a good scolding later.
Lu Lin awkwardly apologized to mom and dad, saying he’d bring back some alien local specialties next time.
He hung up the phone and then received calls from Hu Nan, the Chief of Saturn North Hill Continent, followed by Bai Jingwei, Cen Xian, and Zhuge Li.
He didn’t expect that Zhuge Li, who spent years in the lab, would congratulate him, which delighted Lu Lin for quite a while.
Up next was Zhao Lei... two little sidekicks, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, Xiao Yan jokingly teased Lu Lin a lot, which made Lu Lin’s teeth itch in frustration, thinking he’d better actually get a room card later to see if she would still be smug.
And Class Advisor, Teacher Li from Blue Star.
Teacher Li called him with a task, saying the principal wanted to set up a statue of Lu Lin at Golden Sword High School, and subtly inquired when his parents would come to Blue Star, as the school would arrange someone to pick them up.
Lu Lin explained that his parents are used to Saturn and don’t want to easily change workplaces, but the principal of Golden Sword High School appeared on the line to inform him that they could hold the titles of Vice Principal and Chief Financial Officer remotely.
Lu Lin paused to understand the principal’s intention, which was simply to take money without doing work, not even needing to be present.
As Lu Lin was about to decline, the principal clarified the real intention, asking him to make a report speech at Golden Sword High School every year before graduation, to motivate the juniors soon to awaken.
Accommodation and travel fees are all covered, not costing Lu Lin a penny.
Lu Lin doesn’t care much about this money now, but seeing the principal’s sincere look, he ultimately agreed.
This principal, usually invisible at school.
But he genuinely contributes to the students, otherwise, he wouldn’t invite Blue Star’s famous Star Guides for several years to guide a group of senior students in star techniques.
Just look at Tata City and Linbei City on Saturn, the principal has contributed a lot to Golden Sword High School.
After hanging up the call from Blue Star, Lu Lin received congratulations from Wang Juan, Da Xiang, Han Ya, Xiao Ru, and others, chatting for quite a while, only then realizing it’s almost lunchtime, wondering why Zhou Ziqiang, Bai Buyi, Chen Xiran, Fang Gang haven’t returned yet.
If they don’t come back soon, Lu Lin’s going to be hungry.
Then another call comes in, from Guan Kuang, Sir Guan.
"Hey, Lu Lin, weren’t we supposed to meet at Jinchao Pioneering Team this afternoon? I just happened to meet your friend at Iron Blood University and invited them over."
"It’s noon now anyway, how about eating something and helping guide star techniques?"
Great.
Guan Kuang worried Lu Lin would run away, so he invited Zhou Ziqiang and the others over.
Last time at Mingli Academy, Guan Kuang saw Zhou Ziqiang, didn’t expect the old man to have such good memory.
Since that’s the case, what more is there to say.
"Sure, I’m coming right away."
Lu Lin hung up the phone and went downstairs to drive.
Just then, he received a message.
"I watched the morning match, it was great—Guan Yue"
Lu Lin was stunned.
