Chapter 389 - Attention and Salutation

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Master Hai was known to be a professional in the area of myths and legends in the Great Wall University, or even in the entire interstellar space. He had a great reputation, wore Huaxia ancient long robe, and his white beard fluttered with the wind. He was a person with distinguishing characteristics.

Feng Lin recognized him the moment he set his eyes on him.

When Master Hai saw Feng Lin, he smiled as well. “Feng Lin, thankfully I recruited you in advance. Otherwise, the Mythology Academy won’t be able to hold you back now. Do you know that the other academies are now fighting for you to enroll in their academies? What you’ve done during this period has been exemplary, pressing down all the other academies’ students completely. You’re really amazing!”

He stroked his long beard as he said this, his face full of praises for Feng Lin.

“Dean, you’re too kind!” Feng Lin said, being neither too conceited nor rash.

Master Hai nodded and didn’t continue with the useless talk. He went straight to the point. “The reason I’ve called you over on the first day of enrollment is to explain things to you in person and make arrangements for your learning missions. By right, freshmen would have to learn from the school’s arranged courses after enrollment. But your situation is special. You’ve already become a Second Lieutenant before you officially enrolled in the school. This is an extremely special case. Based on the latest news that we’ve received, the spirit race is now raring to move and could set off a war against our Great Wall University at any moment. Therefore, your military responsibilities are more important than your learning missions. There’s a need to set our priorities straight. The arrangement that the academy has set for you is to perform your military missions first before going on with the learning courses. I can give you special rights to this. As long as you can obtain results that are outstanding or higher in every test in the future, you can make arrangements for your courses freely. What do you think about this?”

Master Hai looked at Feng Lin with great interest.

Not attending classes but yet obtaining outstanding results in the tests, this wasn’t something that ordinary people would be able to do.

However, since Feng Lin had done so many surprising things, Master Hai couldn’t help but have more anticipation while he gave Feng Lin special rights.

“Alright!” Feng Lin agreed without giving it much thought.

Master Hai was stunned for a moment. “You don’t need to put more consideration into this? If you find it difficult, I can make special arrangements for you to have a tutor!”

However, Feng Lin shook his head. “There’s no need!”

He had the confidence.

He understood all of Earth’s myths and legends, and the Mythology Academy’s courses on them weren’t of much use to him.

Those teachers couldn’t even be compared with him, so how could they possibly be able to tutor him?

The reason why he had joined the Mythology Academy was only because he wanted to find out the traces of ancient mythological civilizations through the mythological ruins’ records that the Mythology Academy had.

“You really don’t need it?” Master Hai asked, surprised.

“Really!” Feng Lin replied honestly.

Seeing that Feng Lin didn’t seem to be putting up an act, Master Hai nodded but secretly smiled.

(After the semester ends, let’s see if you still have this much confidence.)

However, at this moment, Feng Lin spoke up again, “Deputy Dean, I would like to request something! Since I’ve chosen to freely make arrangements for my courses, can the academy allow me to freely browse through all records on the mythological ruins?”

When Master Hai heard this, he immediately found it strange, “Are you thinking of mastering from self-study? You want to leap up to become a professional in myths and legends before you’ve gained knowledge on it?”

Feng Lin smiled and didn’t reply.

Master Hai assessed him from top to bottom. “Fine! I shall see what’s the limits to your abilities. Open up your identity microchip. I’ll give you the right to freely browse through the Mythology Academy’s database on myths and legends. The content of the mythological ruins that the academy recorded is converted into data and stored in it. However, if you wish to see the actual item, you’ll have to come personally to make an application. Some of the things are unique in the world and are priceless, thus having layers of protection. You must first get the school’s approval before getting to them! When the time comes, I’ll do my best to give you the greatest extent of convenience!”

“Thank you, Deputy Dean!” Feng Lin nodded and didn’t raise any overboard requests.

It was already beyond his expectations to be given such great authority. If he continued to be greedy, he’d be too much!

When Master Hai heard this, he also smiled. “There’s no need to be like this. It’s been several decades since someone who is ranked first amongst the freshmen has come to our Mythology Academy. No matter how much of a decline our Mythology Academy is in, we can’t possibly let a good seed like yourself go to waste, right?”

Saying this, he winked playfully.

When Feng Lin heard this, he also smiled, feeling that he hit it off very well with this old man.

Then, the two of them continued to chat about the general knowledge after enrolling in the school. After that, Feng Lin didn’t continue to disturb Master Hai’s research and took the initiative to ask to leave.

Master Hai watched for very long as the long and slender figure gradually left. He smiled.

This kid was getting increasingly special. In the future, he might be able to bring about a very different change to the Mythology Academy and Great Wall University. It was really interesting to find out how far Feng Lin’s future development would go!

With this matter settled, what’s next was to report at the Great Wall Army’s Logistic Unit!

Feng Lin thought of this as he walked out of the Mythology Academy’s front gate.

“Look! That freshman has come out!” A group of students quickly crowded over. They emitted strong auras and had a vitality of at least 8,000 or higher. Every one of them was a high-level grand cultivator and the person in the lead emitted an intense vitality pressure. He had probably attained a breakthrough to the adept realm.

“Are you the number one freshman, Feng Lin, who has just enrolled in the school?” The person in the lead spoke up with an air of superiority.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The corners of Feng Lin’s lips curled up into a hint of a smile. Another immature and inexperienced guy had come to court trouble.

He wanted to see what tricks these people were going to pull.

“And who are you?” He looked straight into the person’s eyes, not giving a reply but posed a question instead.

“Brat, how can you speak with Senior Guo like this?”

“What impudence!”

“Don’t know any respect!”

...

The other lackeys started bawling.

However, the person in the lead waved his hand to get them to shut up. He then spoke up in a deep voice, “I’m called Guo Beichen, your senior in the third year. I’m also the president of the Mythology Archaeology Society, the top ten club in the Mythology Academy. You don’t look bad, so I’m giving you a place in the club. Quickly fill up the form and join in! If you were to waste this chance, there won’t be another!”

After saying this, he sent an electronic form to Feng Lin’s identity microchip directly without caring whether Feng Lin agreed to this arrangement or not.

He spoke with arrogance as if giving Feng Lin a spot was a tremendous honor.

However, Feng Lin didn’t even take a look and deleted the form directly.

What a joke. If he wished to join a club, he could have joined the club that martial queen Zhao Yue`e was in! Why would he need to join this undistinguished club?

“No need. Thank you!” Feng Lin politely declined and paved a way through the crowd as he tried to leave.

“What impudence! You’re given face but to think that you don’t know any better!”

“What an arrogant freshman!”

“Do you think that you’re that amazing just because you’re ranked first amongst the freshmen? You’re but a mere grand cultivator!”

...

The other members of the Mythology Archaeology Society reprimanded him and crowded over.

Guo Beichen’s eyes narrowed and his expression turned somber.

Feng Lin was just a freshman and yet he had obtained the title of Second Lieutenant. His reputation in the school was great and if they could get him to join their club, it would boost the Mythology Archaeology Society’s reputation. Guo Beichen, as the president, would also obtain great benefits from this.

He had thought that a freshman would be easy to control but hadn’t expected Feng Lin to not show him any face at all. It seemed that Feng Lin wouldn’t know what was good for him if he wasn’t taught a lesson!

He released a dangerous aura.

Feng Lin looked calmly at this group’s ugly faces. It was a waste of his energy to raise his hands against them; thus, he took out something from his pocket and pinned it in front of his chest with indifference.

When the others saw this scene, they were immediately startled. It was the Second Lieutenant’s badge.

Feng Lin spoke up calmly, “Aren’t you guys going to salute when you see an officer? Or have you forgotten about the Great Wall University’s school rules?”

At the mention of the school rules, they immediately shuddered and instinctively stood at attention, performing a military salutation. “Greetings, officer!”

After they got back to their senses, their expressions were instantly filled with grief. However, they didn’t dare put down their hands.

The Great Wall University was a militarized school. Therefore, the rules were strict and no joke; no one dared to violate them recklessly.

Feng Lin nodded and walked up to Guo Beichen. “So, is the Mythology Archaeology Society, being such a big club, thinking of violating the school rules? It seems that your club doesn’t wish to continue its operation!”

Guo Beichen’s eyes narrowed intensely and he felt shocked, angered, but also fearful at the same time. His trembling hand lifted slowly and he respectfully saluted, standing upright.

“Very good! I’m ordering all of you to do 10,000 frog leaps on the spot. If there’s anyone who dares to go against the orders, don’t blame me for not going easy on you!” Feng Lin smiled coldly.

Being just one rank higher could flatten everyone else, let alone that these people were just a group of soldiers while Feng Lin was already a Second Lieutenant.

The school rules were military rules. The consequences would be extremely dire if they were to violate them.

They exchanged a glance and had no choice but to start sticking out their butts and jumping on the spot, feeling extremely aggrieved. Many ridiculing laughs rang out from the surroundings, and they gritted their teeth so tightly that it felt like they were going to shatter.

However, they didn’t notice that Feng Lin had walked far away.

It wasn’t until a while later that a hysterical and agonizing howl rang out behind Feng Lin. “Feng Lin, this isn’t over between us!”

Feng Lin smiled coldly and gradually headed far away.

He wasn’t interested in seeing a group of men sticking out their butts!

What indecency!
