97: Problems, responsibilities, Tianxing Great Wall!
Lu Sheng was startled by the words.
Dean???
Although he had been at Star Academy for a long time, Lu Sheng's understanding of Star Academy was limited to some annoying Prefects, his classmates, and Lan Zhan, Elder Li, and Elder Wang.
Even Bai Ming and Zhang Tianfang, whom he had met at the beginning of the semester, he hadn't seen in a long time.
As for everyone else... he didn't know them.
However... before leaving the Cultivation room today, Lan Zhan had said that someone wanted to meet him.
Perhaps... it was this guy in front of him.
As for the other party's identity, Lu Sheng had no doubts.
Anyone who could so easily enter Star Academy and bypass identity verification to enter his room was no simple character.
If the other party wanted to harm him, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist.
Moreover, Lu Sheng didn't feel he had offended anyone.
After a brief thought, Lu Sheng simply sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Xuan and spoke softly.
"Dean, is there something you need?"
Seeing Lu Sheng's composure in the face of danger, a look of appreciation appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
"Not bad, to be able to remain calm at a time like this; this mindset is commendable."
Lin Xuan praised him.
Lu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly.
He wanted to say that with Lin Xuan's strength, being able to easily enter his dormitory, he wouldn't have much of a chance to resist even if he wanted to.
"I came here today to see what kind of student broke the record of my Star Academy."
"At the same time..."
Lin Xuan looked at Lu Sheng and said with a smile.
"I want to ask you a question."
"What question?"
Lu Sheng was a little curious.
Lin Xuan's smile suddenly faded, replaced by a serious expression, and he said in a deep voice: "If one day, the alien demons descend upon Great Xia, and everyone is no match for them, what will you do?"
Lu Sheng was stunned.
This sudden question left Lu Sheng momentarily unable to react.
When the alien demons descend, what would he do?
Lu Sheng froze.
He had thought Lin Xuan would ask about his background, or about the limits of Qi and blood, or even about comprehending Sword Intent.
But he had never expected Lin Xuan to ask such a question.
So much so that... Lu Sheng now didn't know how to speak.
Lu Sheng felt a wave of confusion in his heart.
If the alien demons descended, what would he do... would he escape their pursuit, or would he, like the soldiers fighting on the front lines, still stand on the front lines and confront the alien demons?
Lu Sheng fell silent.
At that moment, he couldn't find the answer in his heart.
Lin Xuan looked at Lu Sheng's expression and smiled slightly.
"You don't have to rush to answer this question; tell me your answer after you return from the Tianxing Great Wall."
Lu Sheng came back to his senses, looking at Lin Xuan with a puzzled expression.
"Tianxing Great Wall... what is that place?"
Lu Sheng vaguely felt that the Tianxing Great Wall might be related to Tianxing City, or even Star Academy.
But before this, Lu Sheng had never heard of it.
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "A place... constantly shrouded in darkness."
Lu Sheng's body trembled slightly.
"Do you know why I asked that question just now?"
The profound look on Lin Xuan's face dissipated, and that gentle smile reappeared on his face.
Lu Sheng shook his head.
Lin Xuan slowly said: "The answer to this question will affect the academy's arrangements for you after you return from the Tianxing Great Wall!"
"Is this also a test?"
Lu Sheng asked doubtfully.
Lin Xuan shook his head: "It's not a test; from the moment you began the first stage of training, you became students of Star Academy."
"However, every student of Star Academy has different responsibilities."
"And the responsibility they must bear is the answer to that question!"
Lin Xuan looked directly at Lu Sheng and spoke softly.
"Are you... ready to bear this responsibility?"
Lu Sheng fell silent once again.
Since his Transmigration, Lu Sheng had rarely felt that he carried any mission or responsibility.
But from the moment of the Demonic Cult's rebellion in Yun City, Lu Sheng felt that a faint responsibility of his own rested on his shoulders.
That was a responsibility every Martial Artist needed to bear.
But that feeling wasn't very obvious.
And now, Lin Xuan suddenly brought this up, leaving Lu Sheng somewhat caught off guard.
"You don't need to answer this question immediately either; it's the same as before, everything... wait until you return from the Tianxing Great Wall to give me the answer!"
"At that time..."
"Everything will be clear."
Lin Xuan smiled.
"By then... I will come to see you again!"
With that, Lin Xuan seemed to have no intention of staying any longer; an abstruse fluctuation gently spread from his body.
Immediately, under Lu Sheng's gaze, Lin Xuan's figure, like a bubble, gradually dissipated, eventually... vanishing into thin air from Lu Sheng's sight.
"Responsibility, huh..."
Looking at the spot where Lin Xuan disappeared, Lu Sheng remained engrossed in thought.
He looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"What is responsibility?"
"Why will everything be clear after going to the Tianxing Great Wall?"
"What kind of place is this Tianxing Great Wall anyway?"
One by one, questions echoed in Lu Sheng's mind.
After a long silence, Lu Sheng finally stood up from the sofa, found his communication wristband, and opened the official website of Star Academy.
After spending tens of thousands of points to exchange for many Blood Refinement Realm resources there, a faint ripple finally appeared on Lu Sheng's face.
"Who cares about responsibility or questions? As long as I become stronger, I'll naturally be able to bear these responsibilities."
"All problems... will be easily solved!"
Lu Sheng smiled softly.
Soon, the doorbell rang at the entrance.
Lu Sheng opened the door and brought in the silver box, which contained precisely the Cultivation resources Lu Sheng had exchanged for.
"I have to go to the Tianxing Great Wall, but it's probably not now."
"Since that question needs to wait until I reach the Tianxing Great Wall to be understood, there's no need to waste time on these questions now."
"Only by improving my strength... is the root of everything!"
Lu Sheng murmured, then took out a bottle of Medicinal Pill from the box.
After taking one, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed.
The Hidden Dragon Formless Sword slowly circulated, silently refining the resources, gradually increasing his Qi and blood.
