My name is... Murong Yun

Many students were already waiting by the initial lake.

Some of them gathered, recounting the stories of the past week.

"You wouldn't believe it, I was walking along that day when suddenly a Vicious Beast charged at me!"

"Could I tolerate that?"

"I immediately pulled out my five-meter-long greatsword, vowing to fight that beast to the death!"

Several youths gathered, one of them vividly describing his experiences; at this age, showing off is common.

Suddenly, the air temperature around them dropped a bit.

Bing Qinru had returned!

She sat alone by the lake, cupping the water with her hands to simply wash off the grime.

The somewhat noisy scene quieted down considerably due to her appearance.

As more and more students returned, the two instructors also appeared.

Instructor Kuang clapped his hands.

"Students, the first week of training officially ends now!"

There wasn't much response from below; a week of life-and-death struggle had matured these youngsters considerably.

Instructor Kuang nodded secretly.

"As a reward, each of you will receive 100 points. I will explain the purpose of these points shortly."

"Next, I will lead you to the true location of the Prodigy Training Camp!"

As an official institution of the Dragon Country specifically for training Geniuses, it certainly wouldn't be so shabby.

And these Geniuses weren't surprised; their Families had likely informed them in advance.

Lin Xiao's expression remained unchanged; don't ask, because he doesn't know!

Soon, several helicopters appeared in the sky. The students boarded in an orderly fashion, heading to the real Prodigy Training Camp!

"We've arrived!"

"Is this the Prodigy Training Camp?"

Many looked at the scene before them, murmuring softly.

There was no excessive grandeur, only profound depth and unfathomability.

A stone gate, with a giant stone beside it, carved with the five large characters: Prodigy Training Camp!

"Welcome to the Prodigy Training Camp!"

Instructor Kuang smiled as he looked at everyone.

However, due to previous experiences, his smile didn't bring any warmth to these students.

"From today until the end, you will spend one of the most important periods of your lives here!"

He spoke as he led the students on a tour.

"The Prodigy Training Camp has several areas."

"This is the Central Plaza, which can be used for your daily training and sparring!"

"To the east is the Sumeru Illusion Realm, where you can accelerate your Cultivation speed in the Secret Realm."

"To the north is the dawn tower, and to the west is the Mission Hall."

"And to the south, the south is the Treasury, filled with countless Cultivation resources, Cultivation Techniques, and Martial Skills."

"Excuse me, Instructor, can we use all of these?"

A student raised his hand to ask.

Instructor Kuang stopped, turned to look at the student, and smiled slightly.

"Of course, as long as you have enough points, you can use all the resources within the Prodigy Training Camp!"

"Points?"

Lin Xiao understood almost immediately upon hearing this.

"Yes, points. Points are the hard currency in the Prodigy Training Camp, and they are also the key to whether you can quickly improve your strength in the coming days!"

"Currently, each of you has 100 points, which are considered initial points."

At this moment, a young man walked over. He bowed to Instructor Kuang.

"Instructor Kuang, you've arrived!"

"Oh? It's Xiao Mu. Then I'll leave the rest to you." Instructor Kuang glanced at the newcomer and nodded.

Then he disappeared from his spot.

The newcomer was named Mu Yuan, an old hand here.

He looked at the hundred young men and women before him, subtly adjusting his appearance.

"Hello, junior brothers and sisters, my name is Mu Yuan, and welcome to the Prodigy Training Camp!"

"I'll take you to your dorms first!"

After some arrangements, this batch of newcomers finally settled down.

During this time, Mu Yuan had already connected and familiarized himself with many of them.

He also had a general understanding of this batch's situation.

"From what I see, only those few are worth befriending." Mu Yuan had his hands in his pockets.

Besides him, there were others here. Receiving new students wasn't really beneficial, but he volunteered, hoping to establish connections with some of them.

His own background wasn't very strong.

"That Lin Xiao, though, I heard he's very strong, but unfortunately, he comes from a humble background." He shook his head. In his mind, strength wasn't as important as background.

No matter how strong you are, can you surpass the foundation accumulated by others through generations of effort?

Of course, he wouldn't offend the other party either.

Lin Xiao was in his dorm. He looked at the dorm assigned to him; it wasn't bad, much better than his home in Pingan District.

"As a newcomer, I need to first understand the specific situation here!"

He prepared to go out to see if he could gather some information about the place.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure standing in front of him.

"You are...?" Lin Xiao looked at the man at his door and thought for a moment: "Are you Tuoba Shi?"

"It's me..." The person was indeed Tuoba Shi.

He was a bit flustered. Facing Lin Xiao in person, he felt his breathing was somewhat suppressed.

"Is there something you need?"

Lin Xiao was curious; he had no prior interaction with the other party.

"Lin... Lin Xiao, that... I came today specifically to apologize to you!"

Tuoba Shi steeled himself and recounted the whole incident.

"Lin Xiao, I didn't mean to use you to show off back then, please don't take it to heart!"

After speaking, he bowed his head deeply.

Lin Xiao was stunned; he hadn't expected the other party to come to apologize.

He stroked his chin, pretending to think for a moment, then patted the other's shoulder with a composed demeanor.

"Since you are so sincere, and I am not a petty person, let's consider that matter closed!"

Tuoba Shi trembled internally from the pat, but upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

The stone that had weighed on his heart for a week was finally gone.

He looked up at the young man, who was about the same age as him, and said somewhat bluntly:

"Thank you!"

"If anything happens, I, Tuoba Shi, will definitely help you get even!"

As soon as he said this, he blushed a little himself. With Lin Xiao's strength, if anyone needed help getting even, it would be Lin Xiao helping him.

"Ah, Brother Tuoba, I actually do have something I'd like to ask you about right now!"

"Brother Lin, please speak!"

"En, regarding this Prodigy Training Camp..."

Lin Xiao asked Tuoba Shi about the specific situation of the Prodigy Training Camp.

As a member of the Tuoba Family, the foremost Noble Families in the entire Northwest, Tuoba Shi was very clear about the Prodigy Training Camp.

He told Lin Xiao all the information he knew.

It turned out that besides these newly Awakened individuals, the Prodigy Training Camp also had other older students from previous batches.

Because there were abundant Cultivation facilities here, under the operation of the Noble Families, each person who came here could stay for a maximum of three years.

And with long-term operation, this place had gradually been stratified, and some had even established their own forces.

The higher-ups of the Prodigy Training Camp also turned a blind eye to this.

Where there are people, there is conflict!

"You mean, those older students will bully us newcomers?"

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, this is actually a tradition. No matter what your background is outside, it's useless once you come here!"

Tuoba Shi explained earnestly.

Among the older students here, there were also people from his Tuoba Family, but given the Tuoba Family's ethos, they wouldn't offer much assistance to him.

"How do they bully us? Are they perhaps eyeing the points in our hands?"

"Yes, points are very important in the Prodigy Training Camp. Without points, it will be difficult to move an inch here!"

So that's how it is!

Lin Xiao finally understood.

"Um, Lin Xiao, I have a cousin who is also here. He's part of the Divine Wind Hall. I've already joined the Divine Wind Hall, do you want to come along?"

Tuoba Shi looked at him with some anticipation. Lin Xiao was the strongest among their batch of newcomers.

If he could join the Divine Wind Hall with him, the days ahead would be much easier.

"Thank you for the offer, but I'm not considering that for now."

Lin Xiao shook his head; he didn't like the feeling of being constrained.

"Alright." Tuoba Shi didn't insist. Since the matter was resolved, he didn't stay any longer.

After Tuoba Shi left, Lin Xiao closed the door again.

"This is getting interesting!" He raised an eyebrow slightly.

For the next period, he stayed in his room Cultivating. He had just signed in for quite a few ability stones recently through the System.

On the third day, Lin Xiao walked out of his room.

As he passed the Central Plaza, some sounds from the sparring arena attracted him.

"Useless trash! Do you dare to provoke me again next time?" On the stage, a man was stepping on another person, continuously kicking him.

The person being kicked was spitting blood, covered in numerous injuries.

He was beaten without any ability to retaliate, only able to lie on the ground, allowing the other party to insult and trample him at will.

After venting, the man felt bored. He kicked the opponent off the arena with force.

"Kid, from now on, keep your head down in this Prodigy Training Camp!" After saying that, he turned and walked to the side, where there was a container for points.

He put his wristband into it. A moment later, his wristband showed an additional two hundred points!

"One hundred points in hand!" He smiled, looking at the points he had gained.

Lin Xiao noticed that the person kicked off the arena looked familiar, like someone who had entered with him in the same batch.

But he had no intention of standing up for the other party.

In his heart, everything in this world had little to do with him!

Just as he was about to leave, the person who had won the match earlier inadvertently noticed him.

"Oh, you look very unfamiliar?"

"Junior brother, are you new here?" He walked forward very 'friendly' and blocked Lin Xiao's path.

"Yes... yes, senior brother, is there something I can help you with?"

Lin Xiao suddenly became a bit reserved.

He slightly stepped back with his left leg, a hint of timidity appearing on his face.

These small actions were seen by the other party, who inwardly scoffed, 'A weakling! But I like it!'

"Heh heh, since you're new, you must not be familiar with this place yet."

"How about this, junior brother, I happen to be free right now and can show you around. You just need to give me ninety points."

The man looked at Lin Xiao with a beaming smile, though it seemed a bit stiff.

"Ninety? Senior brother, isn't... isn't that a bit too much?"

"Too much? Not at all... You just arrived, after all, and you can earn points quickly."

"And by spending these ninety points, you'll not only quickly understand the situation here but also gain a friend."

"If anything happens in the future, you can come find me, senior brother, and I'll solve it for you."

"How about it?" He said, leaning closer to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao kept backing away, and a hint of cold sweat seemed to appear on his forehead.

"That, that, senior brother, these points, I... I want to use them to improve my strength, you see..."

"Then you mean you don't want to make a friend with me, senior brother?" His voice turned slightly cold.

"No... Junior brother doesn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

"It's... it's just, senior brother, why don't you give me some pointers?" Lin Xiao's face twitched slightly.

"Pointers?" The man was stunned on the spot.

After a while, he finally reacted. He carefully observed Lin Xiao.

"Is this kid pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"

"He's indeed very unfamiliar; he must be a newcomer!"

According to what he knew, among the newcomers, only two people were relatively strong: one named Lin Xiao and one named Bing Qinru.

"Junior brother, what's your name?"

"Senior brother, I... I'm Murong Yun..."
