113: Chapter 113 The Contempt of the Capital's Prodigies

Su Lin checked the time; the opening ceremony was officially starting at eight o'clock tomorrow.

According to the description, the top brass of Shenglong University would be in attendance, and even the Principal of Shenglong University had squeezed time out of his busy schedule to arrive at the scene.

Su Lin also attached great importance to this opening ceremony. After eating a sumptuous dinner prepared by the servants in his luxury villa, he went to bed early to rest.

The next day, Su Lin followed the tide of new students toward the huge Shenglong Auditorium.

The Shenglong Auditorium was where Shenglong University held important ceremonies. It was quite vast, enough to accommodate all the new students.

As soon as he reached the entrance, Su Lin saw a familiar figure running toward him—it was Liu Hao.

Liu Hao squeezed through the crowd and arrived panting in front of Su Lin.

"Brother Su Lin, I finally waited for you. I thought I had missed you."

"Waiting for me?"

Su Lin raised an eyebrow. He saw Liu Hao hurriedly take a large bag out of his backpack.

"Here, Brother Su Lin, have some milk tea."

There were four or five cups of exquisitely packaged milk tea in the bag.

Su Lin took the milk tea. The tea in the bag consisted of the exact types he had mentioned liking on the bus yesterday.

Liu Hao was quite thoughtful. Su Lin didn't stand on ceremony and took out a cup to open it.

"Brother Su, can I sit next to you today?"

"Of course."

Su Lin nodded. He wasn't some celebrity, and the seats beside him weren't reserved.

The two walked into the auditorium together. The auditorium was already full, and the new students were waiting for the ceremony to begin with anticipation and excitement on their faces.

Su Lin and Liu Hao walked in and were just about to look for seats when they heard a voice from the front row.

"You're the one called Su Lin? The one who stayed in the Supreme VIP room?"

A youth dressed in white was resting his chin in one hand while looking at the two of them.

Several people beside him were also looking at the duo with malice in their eyes.

Liu Hao immediately became nervous and whispered to Su Lin.

"Brother Su, these are the prodigies from the Imperial Capital. They're not to be trifled with! Especially the one speaking—that's Gu Tianming, who is at the Divine Aperture Realm stage seven!"

"Let's go quickly!"

Su Lin drank his milk tea silently, while Gu Tianming looked displeased.

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

A sharp pressure from a Divine Aperture Realm stage seven expert swept over. Liu Hao was forced back several steps by the impact and almost fell, but Su Lin grabbed him in time.

Gu Tianming gave a soft sound of surprise, his brow furrowed in confusion. This Su Lin was actually completely unaffected by his pressure?

As for his pressure, Su Lin had neutralized it in less than a second by breathing, opening his Divine Aperture, circulating his blood energy, and mobilizing his Thunder Origin Sword Embryo.

Although Su Lin was only at stage one of the Divine Aperture Realm, which was a huge gap from stage seven, it was a joke to think he could be suppressed by mere aura.

The Thunder Origin Sword Embryo within his body was specialized in breaking all kinds of pressure. Su Lin took out the key to the Supreme VIP room and displayed it in front of Gu Tianming.

"Who else could it be?"

Gu Tianming snorted softly.

"If I hadn't gone late yesterday, that Supreme room would have been mine!"

"You didn't think I didn't have 1,000 credits, did you?"

Gu Tianming got angry just thinking about it. He had originally thought no one could compete with him for that Supreme VIP room. He had worked hard all summer to earn enough credits, only to hear that the Supreme VIP room had been taken by someone else the moment he arrived at the processing center yesterday.

In his eyes, the luxury Supreme room was clearly reserved for him.

Su Lin ignored him. After showing him the key, he took Liu Hao to the back to find seats.

"Damn, this Su Lin, is he that arrogant? He doesn't even take Young Master Gu seriously?"

Gu Tianming's friend, Xue Chao, looked at Su Lin's retreating figure in disbelief.

"He's truly a newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger. Coming from a different province, he has no idea how much influence the Gu family has in the Imperial Capital!"

"It's a pity. Although he does have some strength, his days ahead won't be easy."

The entire row with Gu Tianming sighed with regret on Su Lin's behalf.

Xue Chao looked at Gu Tianming.

"Brother Gu, why don't you use your family's connections to kick this Su Lin out of the Supreme room? Let's see if he can still be arrogant."

Gu Tianming smiled slightly and said disdainfully.

"Him? He's not worthy!"

Su Lin and Liu Hao arrived at the seats in the back.

In the auditorium, there was a large gift box on every seat—a gift from Shenglong University to the new students.

Su Lin and Liu Hao found a random spot to sit down. They picked up the gift box and opened it to find a map of Shenglong University, some exquisite small gifts, and some gifted medicinal pills. They looked valuable at a glance; as expected of Shenglong University, they were generous.

As soon as the two of them sat down, many people secretly cast glances toward them and started discussing.

"Is that Su Lin?"

"Is he the one who took the Supreme VIP room in Zone 1?"

Su Lin moving into the Supreme VIP room yesterday had caused quite a sensation. Everyone had originally thought no one was qualified to stay there. They hadn't expected Su Lin to actually have 2,000 credits, and they were mission credits at that!

Witnessed by everyone, Su Lin had quite generously deducted 1,000 credits to become the owner of the Supreme VIP room.

Even the prodigies from the Imperial Capital who arrived later hadn't expected this Supreme VIP room to be taken so easily, and by an outsider, not someone from the Imperial Capital.

In less than a day, everyone had already engaged in all sorts of discussions and speculations about Su Lin.

More importantly, there was a rumor about Su Lin that made people pay even more attention to him: the matter of him slaying a Lingyun expert. Many people were still debating the truth of this.

Su Lin turned a blind eye to these discussions behind his back and sat comfortably in his seat.

Liu Hao also kept talking to Su Lin about the news he had recently inquired about.

While the two were chatting, all the new students arrived. Amidst the opening music, the opening ceremony officially began.

First, there were various performances prepared by Shenglong University.

Singing, dancing, the eighteen martial arts…

Various wonderful performances, coupled with the martial arts strength of the performers, made many of the scenes even more spectacular.

After the various performances ended, one extraordinary mentor after another walked onto the stage.

When everyone saw these mentors, their eyes immediately lit up; they were even more excited than when watching the wonderful performances.

"Earth Venerable Realm! And Heavenly King Realm!"

The crowd was shocked to discover that everyone on stage was actually at the Earth Venerable level or above.

After the mentors sat in the seats on the stage, a steady sound of footsteps came from behind the stage.

A middle-aged man who could leave a deep impression at a single glance, dressed in a black suit, slowly walked to the podium in the center of the stage.

His appearance was like a black hole, attracting everyone's attention.

The more they looked, the more frightened they became. Upon seeing this person, they felt as if they had entered a domain where they had become ants, while the other party was a giant thousands of feet tall, capable of whipping up a destructive storm with a single breath.

The middle-aged man smiled and approached the microphone on the podium.

"Welcome, new students, to Shenglong University."

"I am the Principal of Shenglong University, Zhu Hexuan. I welcome you here again!"

When everyone heard this name, it was like a thunderclap in their ears, and their bodies all trembled.

This name was known to everyone in the entire Shenglong Kingdom.

Shenglong University, Principal, Zhu Hexuan, Zhenxing Realm martial artist!

He could easily destroy a city with a wave of his hand.

Having made illustrious achievements on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, he became the Principal of Shenglong University after retiring from the front lines, and he had been in office for five years.

"That's Principal Zhu! He has even more charisma than I imagined!"

"Is this the aura of a Zhenxing Realm martial artist..."

Everyone looked at the god-like figure on the podium. Less than a minute after meeting him, almost everyone was conquered by this principal.

Strength was the best proof! It didn't matter how well the principal spoke; just because he was a Zhenxing Realm martial artist was enough to make all the new students respect him.

Even most of the prodigies from the Imperial Capital had never seen a Zhenxing Realm martial artist in person, let alone the students from other provinces.

At this moment, Liu Hao beside Su Lin was stunned like a block of wood, staring straight at Principal Zhu on the stage, while Su Lin was drinking his milk tea with a serious look in his eyes as well.

"This is a Zhenxing Realm martial artist. He really is very strong..."
