Chapter 307: Tempting Chen Dao

The student union president spoke with such righteousness that Xiao Lin frowned when he heard it. Before he could even say anything however, Lilith waved her hand and replied with a big grin, “No problem. It’s too burdensome for other people to come along anyway. ”

Lilith agreed with such glee that Xiao Lin was left stunned again, but their communication ended just as he was about to say something. As expected, the cost was high, but Lilith was the one who paid for it.

However, the communication between Xiao Lin and the student union president was still ongoing, and it seemed that the other party did not intend to hang up. Xiao Lin was silent for a moment but he soon took the initiative to ask, “Why did you ask Lilith to come here alone?”

The president’s face reverted back to the usual smile when facing Xiao Lin, “Silver Province is special in that it’s difficult for any forces to intervene. The balance will be broken if there’s too many people, and you might not understand—”

“I do understand!” Xiao Lin answered, but in the end, he could only sigh with a wry smile.

In fact, what Xiao Lin really wanted to ask was whether Dawn Academy would do the same thing.

Previously in New Washington, Judge Academy did not hesitate to embroil themselves in disputes and detain him simply on the suspicion that he was a SS-level talent. Lilith was also rumored to be a SS-level talent, so would Dawn Academy do nothing if she entered their colony?

Although Lilith did not seem to be too much of a schemer, she was not an idiot either. She had definitely predicted the possible dangers that might occur, yet she dared to take the initiative to request his help. Was it because Asabanor’s was too important for Judge Academy, or did Lilith simply not care about her own safety?

After the storm in New Washington, Judge Academy never announced Asabanor’s appearance to the outside world for fear of backlash from the locals. However, a joint arrest warrant had been applied for amongst the insiders of each college.

In fact, Judge Academy aside, the other academies had a great interest in the matter as well, although their concern was with The Final Place instead of Asabanor.

Xiao Lin was afraid of trouble, but since it had already been decided, he would strive to complete it meticulously. With great strength comes great responsibility, and that was something he understood very well. Although his strength was still at Black Iron-rank, his status within the academy was actually quite special. Everyone treated him politely, be it the year leaders or the student union president, but he was not that narcissistic as to believe that it was due to his own charm or personality.

The reason was simple. The dean valued him and cared for him under subtle guises. Xiao Lin was very grateful to the old man despite only meeting him once. Therefore, Xiao Lin would not refuse a chance to do something for Dawn Academy.

There were a lot of advance preparations to be made. According to the student union president, the result of the negotiations with Judge Academy was that Lilith would go directly to Silver Province instead of passing through Dawn City. To put it bluntly, the American side was not too at ease if she had to go to Dawn City first.

However, going that route would take many days, so in the meantime, Xiao Lin returned to the academy and began studying the Lightsword. It was one of the skill books he brought back from New Washington. Since he had reached Black Iron-rank and mastered sword aura, it was much easier for him to study it again.

Lightsword was an actual combat skill based on ordinary sword aura. Sufficient lethal force could be produced by compressing, condensing and controlling the sword aura. A skill like that was actually really easy to master, but it also overlapped considerably with other sword aura skills. The most important aspect was that the Lightsword’s subsequent upgrades required a certain foundation of spell training despite being a purely physical killing skill. Although Dawn Academy did not offer such a course, books on the subject could still be found in the library.

Using the simulated battle system, Xiao Lin only took four days to master the skill. The effect of his LV2 Academic Genius was slowly starting to manifest. For skills where his basic attributes had met the learning requirements, his learning efficiency would be rather high.

During his time in Dawn City, Class Twelve’s Chen Dao had also successfully achieved Black Iron-rank. He was just over one week later than Xiao Lin, but it did not engender too much surprise due to Xiao Lin’s remarkable earlier achievement. Cheng Ming and several other monitors were almost only a few points short of Black Iron-rank in terms of attributes, so the most they would need to reach that rank was probably another few weeks.

As a result, even the senior students were discussing how awesome the freshmen were. As far as the speed of getting to Black Iron-rank was concerned, the present batch of freshmen were undoubtedly the best Dawn Academy had ever seen.

“As expected, comparing yourself with someone else will only make you feel inferior. I was kinda happy at first, but then I heard you were going on a business trip to Planet Norma again? Why don’t I have this kind of treatment?”

After returning from his Lightsword practice, Xiao Lin would sit in the dormitory’s lounge area and drink a cup of strong tea while reading the latest issue of Dawn Academy Evening News. He would occasionally run into Chen Dao and wondered why the latter suddenly enjoyed reading the newspaper recently. He finally understood why after noticing that the front-page cover of the newspaper depicted a few lifelike elven beauties.

“Business trips are a pain and you might die. It isn’t worth it even though you have a long lifespan. You’re well aware that you’ll lose twenty years of life span whenever you die in the New World.” Xiao Lin’s trips to the New World had been public knowledge on the forum for quite some time already, as he had delegated Gu Xiaoyue and Zhou Feng to deal with Class Seven’s daily affairs.

Chen Dao did not begrudge the trips to the New World, but rather, because he wanted to see the beautiful women of various races.

Xiao Lin responded half-heartedly to him but had a sudden thought in his heart. He asked, “Do you really want to go to the New World?”

“Hell yeah I do!” Chen Dao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. His eyes lit up immediately after realizing that Xiao Lin’s tone seemed to suggest that there was a way.

Xiao Lin had a serious look and solemnly patted Chen Dao’s shoulder. He asked sternly, “I see you as someone with excellent aptitude and potential. There’s an opportunity for us to defend our colonial territory there, so are you willing to shoulder the responsibility and take on this arduous yet glorious mission?”

“Huh?” Chen Dao was in a daze.

Xiao Lin let out a dry cough and said more directly, “Do you want to join the army?”

“Join the army? We can go to the New World?” Chen Dao’s focus was completely different from Xiao Lin’s.

“You can. The military has special authority and isn’t subject to school regulations. Moreover, the colonial army often needs to go out to perform tasks. The chances of encountering beautiful women of all ethnic groups are very high,” Xiao Lin felt like he was one of those weird old men waving a lollipop in front of some young girl, although on that occasion, it was not a young girl.

“Okay! Then I’ll join the army!” Chen Dao answered gleefully and even blamed Xiao Lin for not telling him earlier.

The process went so smoothly that even Xiao Lin was a little dumbfounded by it. Chen Dao was not a sly person, or rather, he had not yet reached that age of adulthood. Meeting beauties from various races was something he thought about day in day out, so the temptation was simply too hard for him to resist.

In any case, Xiao Lin thought to himself that the sixth regiment finally changed from having two members to having three.
