Chapter 274 The Five

Upon seeing these boys, Li Fei frowned slightly, clearly not wanting to interact with them.

But there was nothing they could do, because the leader of these people was their class's senior.

The so-called "senior students" are actually like assistants to counselors, responsible for helping freshmen quickly familiarize themselves with the campus environment when they enter university.

"Oh, it's Senior Brother Zhang!"

An Ying, who was standing next to Li Fei, greeted her politely.

Putting everything else aside, this senior student named Zhang Zihao is indeed very helpful...

He was especially overly enthusiastic towards Li Fei.

It's not hard to see that he probably has some feelings for Li Fei.

However, Li Fei was never really interested in Zhang Zihao's enthusiasm; she practically wore her rejection on her sleeve.

As Li Fei's roommate and best friend, An Ying naturally didn't have a very good impression of Zhang Zihao either. If it weren't for politeness, she wouldn't bother with this guy who took advantage of his position as the senior student to pester his junior classmates.

"Hehe... We're also planning to participate in this year's military training competition. How about we form a team and help each other out?"

Zhang Zihao then extended an invitation.

Upon hearing this, An Ying's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Wait, didn't you have military training when you were freshmen?"

Although Li Fei wasn't too surprised, her brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Hehe... I was trapped in a secret realm during my freshman year military training, so I missed the military training competition that year. I can only make up for the regret now."

Zhang Zihao responded with a smile as always.

"Then why don't you participate in the second and third years? Why wait until the fourth year to come?" An Ying asked with a puzzled look.

She clearly found it very strange...

The question made Zhang Zihao's face turn somewhat awkward.

"Well... I've been busy with my studies, so I haven't had a chance to participate." Zhang Zihao's smile was already a little stiff.

“No…aren’t there more things to do and busier in senior year? There are exams, graduation preparations, and…” An Ying counted on her fingers.

"Alright, An Ying, stop talking!" Even Li Fei couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her clueless roommate.

"Senior Brother Zhang, we're afraid of hindering your chances of getting good rankings, so we won't team up with you. An Ying and I need to prepare supplies, so we won't chat with you anymore!"

After saying that, he grabbed An Ying and left without looking back.

"Wait, I have something else to say..."

Zhang Zihao seemed to want to call out to Li Fei, but he saw that she quickened her pace and almost dragged An Ying away.

Upon seeing this, the burning passion in Zhang Zihao's eyes gradually turned into indifference, with a hint of doubt in them.

"Heh...it seems your methods are nothing special after all."

A skinny boy behind Zhang Zihao sneered.

This skinny boy was holding a skull staff, and his whole demeanor was somewhat gloomy.

It even carried a strange sense of death.

People with these characteristics are highly likely to be a special type of professional – a necromancer.

"Tao Jun, just shut up..."

From the group, a tall, burly man spoke up. The necromancer named Tao Jun merely snorted coldly and remained silent.

"This girl is too determined and extremely guarded, so I don't dare to increase her strength too much..." Zhang Zihao explained, then suddenly grinned and said, "But once we're in the secret realm, her wishes won't be up to her anymore..."

"Stop talking, let's talk about everything once we're inside! Besides, she's not our target!" the burly man said.

"Ah……"

Zhang Zihao didn't say anything more, but took one last deep look at Li Fei's back before turning and leaving.

……

"Li Fei, why are you walking so fast!"

An Ying complained with a hint of resentment.

"If I don't pull you away, I don't know what nonsense you'll continue spouting!" Li Fei poked An Ying's forehead in annoyance.

"Oops! What did I say wrong again?!"

An Ying covered her forehead and coaxed Li Fei in a sweet, coquettish voice.

“Zhang Zihao kept putting it off until his senior year to participate in the military training competition, just hoping to get a better ranking. And you kept exposing his shortcomings in front of everyone. Doesn’t he have any shame? Do you understand now?” Li Fei said with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't that very unfair to us?" An Ying asked, her eyes wide.

After Li Fei's explanation, An Ying finally understood why Zhang Zihao had delayed until his senior year to participate in the freshmen's military training competition.

Even if Zhang Zihao's current level is forcibly balanced to level 30 after entering the secret realm used for military training competitions, he will still be stronger than most freshmen.

After all, he was already a senior in college. Even without relying on level advantage or combat power difference, his practical experience alone was enough for him to easily defeat a large number of freshmen.

Even if I told people, they would definitely talk behind my back.

But Zhang Zihao's actions are actually an open secret.

Some people are unwilling to settle for a mediocre ranking, so they will try to postpone their participation in military training competitions.

In any case, anyone under the age of thirty who is a first or second-tier professional can have the opportunity to participate in military training competitions.

Therefore, every year when military training ends and the military training competition begins, many freshmen avoid the competition for various reasons, in order to have more time to accumulate experience and combat power.

Anyway, as long as you are under thirty, you can participate in a military training competition.

Some shameless people even wait until they are thirty years old to participate in military training competitions, hoping to have a chance to enter the Golden Hall of Skills.

As for the other limitation...

If someone is a genius who can reach the third-tier level before the age of thirty, they don't need to do this kind of thing to improve their ranking.

In reality, most of the top-ranked students in the annual military training competitions are still the geniuses among the freshmen of the same year.

“Where does absolute fairness come from? For someone of his background, being able to act within the rules is already the greatest fairness we ordinary people can hope for,” Li Fei said calmly.

"Huh?" An Ying tilted her head.

Li Fei couldn't help but smile wryly: "I forgot you're also the eldest daughter of the An family in the capital. I was being presumptuous!"

"Don't you dare make fun of me!" This time, An Ying caught the teasing in Li Fei's words and immediately reached out to tickle the soft flesh on Li Fei's waist.

The two girls immediately started laughing and playing around.

This scene, brimming with youthful energy, captivated many of the spirited young men around, who hesitated to move forward.
