Chapter 23, Inter-racial Exchange Meeting: The Consequences of Blocking the Way

inside the hospital,

The willow tree has disappeared, with only a broken section of its roots remaining near the ground.

The ground inside the courtyard was riddled with holes, large and small, but the six rooms, the kitchen, and the bathroom remained intact.

Six figures lay on the ground, their bodies covered in wounds, blood mixed with dirt and sticking to them. Only Lin Ran could barely stand.

He was also in poor condition; his upper body and legs were almost entirely covered in undamaged skin, his face was covered in red and blue patches, and his trembling body looked as if he might collapse at any moment.

However, with the continuous influx of local spiritual energy, the most difficult stage was successfully overcome, and the body stopped trembling.

Lin Ran exhaled a breath reeking of blood and sent a message to Lin Sheng.

Two minutes later, four medical teams rushed into the courtyard with various instruments, and were stunned when they saw the battlefield.

Subsequently, various medical treatments were administered, and the six who had collapsed quickly regained consciousness, followed by detailed treatment.

Lin Ran is also receiving treatment. The spiritual energy specifically used for treatment is faster than the combined earth and wind spiritual energy!

In less than half an hour, everyone had fully recovered.

Lin Ran brought up the skill panel.

[Dragon Soaring Skill LV1→LV2: 200/1000]

[Fighting LV6→LV7: 500/3000]

[Hidden Dragon Body LV1→LV2: 100/1000]

[Attribute Control - Earth LV6→LV7: 200/3500]

[Attribute Control - Wind LV5→LV6: 10/3000]

One chaotic battle, five skills upgraded.

Lin Ran felt the abundant power and even wanted to fight again.

"Lin Ran, you're truly amazing. If we're electing a team leader in the future, I'll vote for you." Yan Lingfei changed her clothes and patted Lin Ran on the shoulder.

"What captain?" Lin Ran asked.

"The first plan involves many people, with orders issued directly by the Supreme Council. However, it cannot be without a leader, so a captain is needed, and there may be a vice-captain. As for the benefits, there's nothing you can't do within the entire Human Alliance, as long as you don't go too far," Yan Lingfei said.

"Hmm, thank you." Lin Ran's response was indifferent.

Yan Lingfei: "..."

Suddenly, Lin Sheng walked over.

"Mr. Lin, we have received word that there is a youth exchange event for people of different ethnicities tonight, and they specifically requested your attendance."

"An exchange meeting?"

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously raised her wrist and realized that the terminal had been damaged during the sparring match.

"I understand, time and place."

"Six o'clock in the evening, at Baiyujing in the border area."

"Okay, give me a terminal."

After receiving the terminal, Lin Ran checked the location; it wasn't far from the shooting range.

It's 9:30 now, so there are still eight and a half hours left.

"I'm going to the shooting range. Yunzhu, Mengyu, Lingxi, and Lingmeng, you guys get ready and come with me tonight."

"Feng Wuhen, Yan Lingfei, are you going?" Lin Ran asked casually.

"Go, of course we'll go! Let those alien races see what a captain's strength is all about!" Yan Lingfei patted her chest.

"Go." Feng Wuhen said succinctly.

"Alright, see you at Baiyujing."

Lin Ran waved and left the courtyard.

……

4:50 PM, shooting range.

[Aiming for LV10, experience points maxed out]

[Please select evolution path: 1. Eye Technique: Instant Slash, 2. Bullet Time]

"?"

Lin Ran pondered, not expecting there to be an evolutionary direction for pupil techniques, though he did have some guesses about bullet time.

According to the information feedback, the pupil technique has a high instantaneous output, while bullet time is a series of attacks in a short period of time with a high cumulative output.

His current cumulative output is not low, and his bullet time ability overlaps quite a bit.

Choose option 1.

【Eye Technique: Instant Slash LV1: 10/500】

Lin Ran fired a few more shots, his eyes flashing slightly.

A bullet split in two instantly, flew dozens of meters, and then crashed into the ground behind the target.

[Eye Technique: Instant Slash, Experience +5]

"!"

Lin Ran continued to try, using bullets as targets to activate her pupil technique, which was supported by the earth's spiritual energy. However, the bullets were too fast, and it took more than ten bullets to catch one. On average, she could successfully cast the technique once every ten seconds.

5:50.

[Eye Technique: Instant Slash LV1→LV3: 300/1500]

"Mr. Lin, we should get going." Lin Sheng, who had been waiting on the side, immediately stepped forward and said when he saw Lin Ran pause.

"Hmm, can we kill them at this exchange meeting?" Lin Ran asked as she walked towards the hovercar.

"Except for humans and cat people, who cannot die, the other races are irrelevant," Lin Sheng said.

"That's alright."

Once inside the car, Lin Ran discovered that besides himself, there were also six other catgirls in the car: Feng Wuhen, Yan Lingfei, and Yun Zhu.

Feng Wuhen nodded to him. Yan Lingfei was huddled together with Mengyu, while Lingxi and Lingmeng quietly stayed in the corner, their presence barely noticeable.

"Brother Lin." Yunzhu came closer, her tail naturally wrapping around her wrist.

"This is information about the alien races that might come to participate in the exchange meeting." Lin Sheng opened the terminal and projected it among the crowd.

"The races participating in this exchange are humans, cat people, elves, werewolves, fire spirits, and ice spirits, a total of six races."

"Humans and cat-people are on good terms, while they are hostile to werewolves. Elves look down on other races, and the ice and fire spirits are opportunists. All six races have their own mother worlds. The elves also have an attached small world, but the power ceiling of the small world is very low, with only the peak of the lower-level awakened beings, which can be almost ignored."

"This exchange meeting is likely due to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Cat People and the Human People, which has led to the alliance between the Elf People and the Werewolf People. The Ice Spirit People and the Fire Spirit People may very well side with them."

"If targeted by four races, neither the human nor the cat-people will be in a good position. However, the other side's alliance is not stable, so they chose to test the younger generation."

Lin Sheng explained the racial relations and the possible scenarios.

"What about strength and realm?"

"Not yet reached the late stage of Tier 1."

"Okay, I understand."

After listening, Lin Ran closed her eyes to rest, not wanting to waste any more time on it.

A dozen minutes later, the hovercar slowly came to a stop.

"We've arrived," Lin Sheng said.

Lin Ran opened her eyes and got out of the car to see a five-story tower-shaped building, its entire body gleaming white jade and carved with countless patterns.

The entrance is located in the middle of a wide and bustling street, with crowds of people on both sides, mainly humans, mixed with cat people, and some creatures from the battlefields of the heavens who have lost their mother world and become wandering races.

Everyone got off the car.

The four cat-people followed behind Lin Ran, while Feng Wuhen and Yan Lingfei lagged behind a little.

Yan Lingfei suddenly nudged Lin Ran's shoulder and pointed to a pink second-floor building not far away, where several low-level demons dressed in revealing clothes and with devil horns on their heads stood.

"Captain, they're all looking at you."

Lin Ran glanced at it, paid no attention, and walked towards the entrance of Baiyujing. Yan Lingfei pouted.

At this moment, four werewolves with wolf heads and human bodies stood at the entrance of Baiyujing, and one of the werewolves stepped forward.

"Baiyujing is booked out today. Please show your identification." The werewolf's eyes swept over the crowd, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.

Then, it saw its own body.

Lin Ran lowered her fingers and stepped onto the four neatly arranged werewolf heads as she entered the gate of Baiyujing.

Everyone: "..."

The long street was quiet.

a long time,

"Holy crap~ Are this year's rookies this good?!"

"I've never seen anything like this before. I've been on the battlefield for years and this is the first time I've seen such a fierce young man."

"Well done! He truly is the future of our human race!"
