High-level martial arts: I can choose Hextech equips.

The tranquil starry sky flowed by, and looking out the porthole, this expanse of space seemed to never move.

Lin Shuxuan glanced at Ye Lingyue.

The cabin was dimly lit, but even so, she still wore large sunglasses.

Why do you always wear sunglasses? Is it because it looks good?

Lin Shuxuan felt that he was familiar with Ye Lingyue and could try to explore more in-depth topics.

Ye Lingyue hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took off her sunglasses, looking directly at Lin Shuxuan.

Her appearance was flawless, her features were almost perfectly measured; but her eyes were strangely unsettling.

The left eye is a pale yellow circle, and upon closer inspection, it even has a dense array of pits, while the right eye is a distorted vertical pupil, curved into the shape of a crescent moon.

It was ferocious and terrifying.

"Isn't it scary?"

She put her sunglasses back on and asked in a low voice.

"No, I think it looks great."

Lin Shuxuan said with a gentle smile.

When complimenting a girl, you must compliment something that she's sensitive about. If you compliment a beautiful woman on her looks, she won't listen to you. But you can say that her hairstyle is thoughtful and her perfume is nice.

Ye Lingyue must be incredibly moved... Lin Shuxuan was feeling smug when he heard the girl in sunglasses hesitate and say:

"Sister Yu Xin is right, you really are good at lying."

Lin Shuxuan's veins bulged as he secretly vowed to make Yu Xin pay for her crimes in blood.

During our casual conversation, we arrived at our destination.

Through the porthole, a pale blue planet surrounded by three silvery-white rings floated silently in deep space.

The location of the Federal Military Academy is also the capital planet of the Federation.

Tianbangxing.

The only planet without ecological erosion, after nearly a thousand years of development, has condensed all the civilization's essence within the Federation.

The so-called star ring is actually a man-made ring structure, but it is so magnificent and huge that it looks like a star ring from a distance.

Lin Shuxuan knew its full name.

The "space-based kinetic orbit" carries weapons capable of destroying a main fleet in an instant. If his current spaceship were locked onto the orbit, it would probably be repeatedly destroyed hundreds or thousands of times per second.

Even a powerhouse like Guan Yunyang is insignificant before such a creation... Lin Shuxuan sighed, wondering if he could grow to a level that could rival such a spectacle.

The spacecraft approached and completed its synchronized docking with the orbit.

Only by getting close can one truly appreciate the magnificence of this creation. Lin Shuxuan couldn't see the edge of the track at all; looking left and right, all he saw was an endless expanse of silver metal, like a vast ocean.

The orbit moves slowly as the planet rotates, like three continents intersecting in the universe.

Spaceships are not allowed to land on Tianbang Star; they can only reach the surface via a space elevator in orbit.

The platform, made of transparent alloy, is pierced by a thin line that extends to the ground.

The process was safe, but also thrilling.

The high-speed descent of the body, the ever-enlarging scenery, and the dazzling sparks created by friction as it passes through the atmosphere are just as thrilling as a drop tower ride.

Hai Lanlan was so frightened that she clung tightly to Ye Lingyue.

"What a spineless coward..." Lin Shuxuan glanced at her disdainfully, then stepped out of the elevator with trembling legs and onto the ground.

The wide streets, adorned with greenery, are bustling with people; the sky is clear and cloudless, and looking up, you can see the kinetic energy track stretching across the sky like a silver dragon.

Not bad... Lin Shuxuan nodded. Since Xinhai City was destined to be destroyed in the prophecy, it was necessary to move to another city to live.

"How much is this house?"

He casually pointed to a solitary two-story villa on the side of the street.

"Three hundred thousand."

"Really cheap..." Lin Shuxuan nodded, but this house wasn't good enough for him; it was too far from the residential area and lacked amenities.

"Ippei."

Ye Lingyue finished speaking in one breath.

Excuse me... Lin Shuxuan has gained a new understanding of housing prices in Duxing.

The Wang family gave him a bank card with 500,000 yuan. After deducting the 100,000 yuan left for his aunt, the remaining 400,000 yuan was barely enough to buy a toilet cubicle.

......

Arrived at the Federal Military Academy and completed the report.

He parted ways with the two girls and walked towards his dormitory.

Three towering buildings stand tall, inscribed with the words "Soaring to the Clouds".

Arriving at 802, this is his dormitory room.

But at this moment, a man was already waiting outside the door with his arms crossed, clearly having been waiting for a long time.

With heterochromia and spiky hair, it was Tang Hao.

Upon seeing Lin Shuxuan, her heterochromatic eyes darted toward him.

"Keep your distance from Yu Xin. This is the first warning, and the last."

Lin Shuxuan didn't bother with it at all. According to the prophecy of [Future Vision], he and Tang Hao were bound to have a battle, and it seemed that it was not far off.

There's no point in arguing about these things now.

But Tang Hao blocked his way.

"I don't need to explain how you became the leader of the Seven Sons of the New Sea, do I? You surpassed Ye Lingyue without any understanding of the Daotu path; do I need to point out the dirty tricks involved?"

"It's different at military academy, Lin Shuxuan. I'm only reminding you this once."

"It's impossible to cheat now."

I didn't cheat, I used cheat codes... Lin Shuxuan finally looked at Tang Hao seriously when he saw that Tang Hao was blocking his way.

"Get out of my way, or are you going to be beaten to a pulp right here?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao burst into loud laughter.

"You only dare to confront me because you know fighting is forbidden in the dormitory area? Why didn't you dare show up in Xinhai City back then?"

His smile was playful.

"New Sea Coward".

Enraged, Lin Shuxuan activated the Dragon Fist Heart Sutra, ready to teach Tang Hao a lesson.

The door to room 802 opened, and a clear, melodious voice rang out.

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from, blocking the way? It even talks like a dog barking."

Tang Hao's face flushed red and then turned pale, his heterochromatic eyes darting around as he looked at the newcomer.

He wore a white short-sleeved shirt, his long black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down his back. He was handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and his peach blossom eyes had a hint of charm when they turned; he had a somewhat feminine appearance.

"Li Rufeng, who are you cursing? You dare to curse me?"

Li Rufeng smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"I'm cursing you, you stray dog! Don't you know you're blocking my roommate's way?"

"You weren't subdued by me in the selection competition? You want me to teach you a lesson again?"

Tang Hao, who had been arrogant, suddenly stopped and gave Lin Shuxuan a fierce glare.

"Consider yourself lucky to be assigned to the same dorm room as him. Just you wait!"

He turned and left.

Lin Shuxuan was surprised and suspicious. As far as he knew, Tang Hao had already embarked on the path of cultivation. If he were in Xinhai City, he would be a strong contender for the top spot.

But he seemed quite wary of the girl in front of him.

Li Rufeng warmly put his arm around his shoulder and led him into the dormitory, explaining as they walked.

"Are you familiar with the training rules of the Federal Military Academy? Tang Hao will definitely be watching your application to participate in the competition, trying to suppress your achievements."

Looking into those amorous peach blossom eyes, Lin Shuxuan felt a little strange.

She slightly broke free from Li Rufeng's embrace and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Federal military academies frequently host similar search, attack, and evacuation game modes, where military academy students must search for supplies and evacuate within the competition area. These supplies then become resources for enhancing their strength outside the competition area.

If Tang Hao wants to target him, he will inevitably participate in the competitions he is in frequently, thereby suppressing his achievements.

"But don't worry, I'm here."

Li Rufeng patted his chest.

"The competition is in groups of three. Team up with us, and we'll split the spoils on the field. He won't be able to do anything about it."

Lin Shuxuan was certainly not stupid. The scene of him rebuking Tang Hao earlier was enough to prove Li Rufeng's strength. Military academies encourage cooperation between partners, and a strong teammate and roommate is a good choice.

But he shook his head and refused.

The two teammates should of course be Hai Lanlan and Ye Lingyue. Li Rufeng is very beautiful, but after all, he is a boy.

Explain the cause and effect.

Li Rufeng's eyes darted around, and he muttered under his breath:

"The rumors were indeed true."

"What rumor?"

As he inquired, Li Rufeng took out his phone and opened the campus forum.

[Shocking! Attention all female students! The New Sea Pervert is about to arrive at the Federal Military Academy!]

[Laugh! Shinkai's most cowardly martial arts champion in history, Shinkai the Coward!]

How deep are the dark secrets of Xinhai City?

Several posts with their titles highlighted in red and bold were featured on the homepage.

Li Rufeng blocked and blacklisted the second post, advising:

"It's wise to assess the situation, but it's a pity if someone refuses to cooperate with me just to get close to a girl."

He calmly analyzed the situation.

"Even if Ye Lingyue has also embraced the Dao, I don't think she's a match for Tang Hao. You have to understand, the Tang family has a deep foundation, and Tang Hao's teammates are definitely not weak either."

Lin Shuxuan was quite curious about what the post about the cowardly Xin Hai said, but unfortunately it had already been blocked by Li Rufeng.

"It doesn't matter. I'm confident in my abilities. Once the first round of the competition is over, the rumors about Shinkai the Coward will be dispelled."

Seeing his determination, Li Rufeng shook his head helplessly:

"You haven't even set foot on the path yet, I really don't know where your confidence comes from; I'll sign up for the same competition as you, so if you can't handle it, just ask me for help."

Then, something else occurred to him.

"What are you going to do about the derogatory term 'New Sea Pervert'?"

"Keep it; what you said is true."

Lin Shuxuan laughed. Now it was his turn to scrutinize Li Rufeng. His reputation had been tarnished on campus because of the post, but his roommate didn't seem to care at all.

He is very strong, and his teammates should have better options.

Having learned from Bai Shasha's experience, Lin Shuxuan was particularly sensitive to inexplicable acts of kindness.

Li Rufeng sighed softly and explained:

"The Federal Military Academy encourages roommates to form teams first."

"We live in a four-person dormitory."

The handsome man's face showed even more sorrow.

"You don't understand, there's also his roommate..."

"In the name of the Evil Dragon, I reign supreme here!"

At the entrance, a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) youth with purple-streaked hair, an eyepatch over his right eye, and a bandage on his left hand stood backlit.

Li Rufeng's face showed a hint of despair.

"If you don't team up with us, I'll have to compete with him."

"Nonsense! It is your honor to embark on this journey with me!"

The teenager, with his bandaged hand covering his left eye, spoke with a firm and confident tone.

Li Rufeng gave him a look that said, "Now you understand, right?"

Lin Shuxuan pondered for a long while under the intense gaze of the immature young man, and then said:

"On the day I return to this world, all traitors shall perish!"

"..."

A deathly silence fell as Li Rufeng covered his face and lay down on the bed.

The young man, filled with adolescent delusions, trembled deeply, profoundly shaken by the unparalleled adolescent aura contained in those words.

Compared to that, what he said was really too naive and shallow.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he even managed to speak properly.

"Is there anything else?"

Lin Shuxuan thought about it carefully.

"Fate is something that is meant to be trampled underfoot. If you do not yet have the power to resist it, you only need to wait with courage."

The young man's face was flushed.

"A little more, please."

"Our fire...will set the world... ablaze..."

Lin Shuxuan even imitated a bit of the rhythmic pauses in the book, and the chuunibyou youth opposite him looked up and sighed, his face flushed with excitement.

"I am not alone on my path, I am not alone on my path!"

Li Rufeng shifted slightly and slammed his fist on the bed to express his dissatisfaction.

......

At night, Lin Shuxuan browsed forums on his phone and found the post that insulted him as a coward.

The gist is that he won the Shinkai title by cheating.

This must be the work of the Tang family.

Although his method of defeating Mu Ning was magnificent and explosive, there are still ways to smear him.

After all, whether one possesses the Dao path or not makes a world of difference in combat power, and the methods he used to defeat Mu Ning were brutal, but they could also be twisted.

For example, this could be a pre-planned show.

Isn't distorting the truth exactly what the media loves to do?

As for the facts, sometimes they are not that important.

Lin Shuxuan scrolled through the replies with a smile on his face. The harsher he cursed now, the more these guys would feel their faces would hurt later.

He also created a smaller version of the "stirring up trouble" technique.

[Crazy Book: Lin Shuxuan, that good-for-nothing, will definitely show his true colors when the military academy competition begins.]

[Crazy Book: He'll definitely be crushed by Tang Hao. Let's see how he tries to talk his way out of it then.]

The post received widespread praise, and his profile even gained a few more followers.

"Cross-dressing is so much fun..." Lin Shuxuan was just thinking when he heard a low voice echoing in the dark dormitory.

"Our fire...will set the world... ablaze..."

The rhythm was melodious and varied, interspersed with satisfied sighs.

This is a four-person dormitory. Li Rufeng and a chuunibyou (delusional) youth named Lu Xiaoguo sleep in bunk beds.

Li Rufeng, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, suddenly kicked the bed board.

"Big brother, what time is it? Can you stop reading?"

The sound did indeed stop, only to resume softly a moment later.

"On the day I return to this world, all traitors shall perish!"

Li Rufeng glared fiercely at Lin Shuxuan. In the dim light, she seemed to exude a hint of coquettishness and charm.

Lin Shuxuan felt a bit nauseous and turned his head away.

"Since none of you can sleep, I'll tell you a ghost story."

Li Rufeng's tone suddenly became erratic.

"Do you know why the Lingyun Tower we live in is designed this way?"

Three towering skyscrapers flashed through Lin Shuxuan's mind... but he had no clue what to do.

"They are actually three incense sticks, used to make offerings to the original cemetery."

"Moreover, this was originally a girls' dormitory, but it was changed to a boys' dormitory because the girls had too little yang energy to be able to suppress it."

"A girl once witnessed a shadow flash by from the window of her dorm room, which faces the hill behind it—that's on the eighth floor!"

"..."

After the ghost story was finished, the dormitory became quiet, and Li Rufeng fell asleep contentedly.

Then Lu Xiaoguo from the upper bunk got up and pointed at the curtains.

"The shadow you mentioned, is that it?"

A huge, human-shaped shadow lingered on the pale green curtains.

Suddenly, Lin Shuxuan recalled the urban legends that Yu Xin had told him earlier: male and female dormitories swapped, the eighth floor...?

Is this Yu Xin's former dormitory?

Could there be any relics left behind by Sister Yu Xin...?
