Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

boom--!!!

A dazzling white beam of light pierced through the sky without warning and slammed into the newly paved asphalt road of Huayang Martial Arts University.

The violent shockwave, mixed with spatial particles, instantly cleared an area within a hundred meters. The scene was not much different from a nuclear bombing.

"Enemy attack—!!"

Gu Qingfeng's beard and hair stood on end, and his roar could shatter eardrums.

This former vice president of the Beijing Military Academy displayed the top-level reaction expected of a grandmaster.

His blood and qi surged instantly. He took a step forward, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and he transformed into a cannonball, hurtling towards the center of the pillar of light.

Although he had no weapon, the murderous aura emanating from this old man, as if he had crawled out of a pile of corpses, was enough to make an ordinary high-level martial artist wet his pants on the spot.

Mo Daozi crushed the sandalwood folding fan in his hand into wood chips, his sleeves billowing.

Dozens of talismans appeared out of thin air, intertwining to form a huge defensive array that tightly protected Ye Chen and his group of students behind them.

Ye Chen drew his longsword, its clear sound ringing out.

Golden light swirled around Zhang Xuan's fingertips.

Colorful poisonous insects crawled out from between Bai Ling's fingers.

Nalan Qing's eyes flashed with silver light, and several throwing knives hovered around him, revealing his killing intent.

All personnel are on high alert!

Everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.

At this critical juncture, any slight movement could be a deadly countermeasure by the Sakura Kingdom against Lin Xiao.

however.

When the blinding white light dissipated, dust settled everywhere.

There were no ferocious beasts as expected, nor any murderous assassins.

There wasn't even a hint of blood.

There were only two figures, staring at each other in the middle of the road in a peculiar scene.

The boy on the left is dressed casually without a single wrinkle, and his hair is neatly styled and perfectly styled.

He was stuffing two dark, soft lumps into his pocket with such fluid and practiced movements that it was almost heartbreaking.

The girl on the right has a slightly messy high ponytail, her face is flushed red, and she is covering her face with her hands.

Peeking through his fingers, he exuded an aura of social death, as if he wanted to live on another planet.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The school gate, which was originally filled with a menacing atmosphere, suddenly fell into an awkward and strange state.

The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind, an awkward silence.

Gu Qingfeng maintained his charging posture, forcefully stopping his foot at the edge of the pit, his shoe soles even smoking.

On that weathered old face, the expression gradually changed from ferocious to blank, and finally to a questioning of life.

"Lin...Lin Xiao?"

Mo Daozi dropped the talismans from his hands with a clatter, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his jaw almost dislocated.

"Xia...a girl from the Xia family?"

What the hell is going on here?

Where is the supposedly infernal dungeon where you're guaranteed to survive at any cost?

These two people had clearly just returned from buying goods at the pedestrian street.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Xiao calmly stuffed the two black stockings, still warm from his body, into his pocket, and patted them to make sure they wouldn't fall out.

Only then did he look innocently at the crowd around him who were on high alert.

"Um... are you all lining up to welcome me? There's no need for such a grand ceremony, it's kind of embarrassing."

puff.

Liu Bo, who was not far away, suddenly felt his legs go weak and tumbled off the flower bed.

He scrambled over, grabbed Lin Xiao's leg, and cried like a baby with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Oh my god! You're finally back!! You scared me to death!!"

"Get off me, get off me, new pants! Don't smear your snot on me!"

Lin Xiao kicked Liu Bo away in disgust, his gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on Gu Qingfeng and Mo Daozi, his eyebrows slightly raised.

The All-Seeing Eye is activated.

[Gu Qingfeng]: ...

Mo Daozi: ...

Wow, this lousy school actually managed to attract two big shots? That's quite a return on investment.

"Wait! Something's not right!"

Liu Bo suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent. He sprang up from the ground, raised his wrist, and stared intently at the digital watch that was available on Pinduoduo for 9.9 yuan with free shipping.

His hands were trembling, shaking violently.

"Three...three hours?"

Liu Bo's voice became sharp and distorted, like a rooster being choked.

"Less than three hours have passed since you entered the instance?!"

What?!

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Mo Daozi was struck dumb. He rushed forward, grabbed Liu Bo's wrist, glanced at the time, and froze on the spot, his worldview shattered.

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"

Mo Daozi muttered to himself, his expression dazed.

"That's a Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts! It's a hellish dungeon! Back in the day, even the legendary military strategist Bai Potian only managed to clear it after surviving the entire time limit. He came out covered in blood and it took him half a year to recover!"

"Three hours... excluding travel time, did you just go in, swipe your card, and come out?!"

All eyes instantly focused on Lin Xiao and Xia Chaoyue.

That look was less like looking at people and more like looking at two monsters in human skin.

Xia Chaoyue lowered her head even further, her toes already digging a three-bedroom, one-living-room shape into the sole of her shoe.

Don't ask me, I'm just a pendant, I don't know anything, I'm just a heartless supplier of black stockings.

"Senior, your words are narrow-minded."

Lin Xiao shrugged, looking completely nonchalant, almost like Versailles.

"Actually, it wasn't that difficult. The main thing was that the boss of that dungeon was particularly hospitable and insisted that we stay for a meal. I figured the school cafeteria wasn't open yet, so I chatted with her about life and our ideals."

"See, they were touched by my sincerity. They not only personally saw us out, but also gave us some local specialties."

Lin Xiao patted his bulging pockets, looking righteous.

The entire audience: "..."

What the hell are you talking about? Life and ideals!

What a weird local specialty!

Is your local specialty "original flavor black stockings"?!

If Bai Potian knew this, wouldn't he be so angry that he would jump out of his wheelchair?

"Alright, stop standing there."

At this moment, Chu Shanhe finally regained his principal's authority. Although his legs were still a little weak, he stood up straight.

He strode forward and introduced Lin Xiao with a beaming smile.

"Lin Xiao, come here, let me introduce you. These two are Dean Gu Qingfeng and Professor Mo Daozi, both titans of martial arts in our Dragon Kingdom. They came here specifically to teach in Huayang! They're here for you!"

"Greetings to both of you seniors."

Lin Xiao put away his playful smile and respectfully performed a junior's bow.

Even though he has cheat codes, we should still show due respect to these veterans who have truly shed blood for the human race.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Gu Qingfeng said "good" three times in a row, his sharp eyes looking Lin Xiao up and down, becoming more and more satisfied, and more and more alarmed.

Qi and blood flow like a dragon, hidden yet unleashed.

This kid's physical strength is probably even more terrifying than that of an average fifth-tier martial artist!

She's only a freshman! What will happen when she grows up?
