104: Chapter 104 The First Person

That afternoon.

Inside Dongcheng University.

On the sports field.

Pei Ruanruan, Tang Xiaotang, and the others watched Jiang Qin strangely as she began circling the track.

This exercise wasn't originally planned.

But Lu Li suddenly said that Jiang Qin's physical fitness still needed improvement, so she ordered Jiang Qin to run two laps.

Although it was a good thing to become physically stronger, only making Jiang Qin run felt a bit odd.

"Captain, why is only Qin Qin running!" Tang Xiaotang spoke up for Qin Qin.

She suspected Lu Li was taking personal revenge, but she didn't know what the grudge was about.

"Makes sense," Lu Li nodded upon hearing this. "You missed class last time, right? You go too."

Tang Xiaotang: "?"

But military orders were absolute. Although Tang Xiaotang wanted to stop, she obediently accompanied Jiang Qin.

Lu Li looked at everyone on the field with great satisfaction. "Are there any other defenders?"

"None!"

They all spoke in unison, their spirit soaring like a rainbow.

"Good. Rest in place. Wait for these two to return, and then we will officially begin."

Lu Li felt she was amazing, ordering two laps and getting two laps done.

Coincidentally, Lu Li also took a picture of Jiang Qin running and sent it to Fang Xun.

It left Fang Xun completely puzzled.

However, it was fine if his sister ran; exercising more wasn't a bad thing.

In reality, for Jiang Qin, these two laps were effortless.

Although she also wondered why the Captain suddenly ordered her to run laps.

But running was fine; the Captain surely had her reasons.

It wouldn't hurt her anyway.

However, when Jiang Qin returned easily, Tang Xiaotang was exhausted, looking like a dead dog.

She was barely able to be carried back by Jiang Qin.

"Captain, we're back," Tang Xiaotang weakly leaned on Jiang Qin's shoulder.

"Xiao Tang," Lu Li looked at Tang Xiaotang, who resembled a dead dog, with unusual seriousness.

"Your physical fitness is indeed lacking. From now on, run two laps for me every day."

Tang Xiaotang: "?"

Damn it, the sky had fallen.

Tang Xiaotang deeply regretted her earlier righteousness. Didn't she know Qin Qin had great stamina!

She could kill a bull with one punch!

"Alright. Let's put other things aside for now. Everyone stand properly."

After this small interlude, Lu Li called the dozen or so people together.

Well, among the four grades at Dongcheng University, there were only about a dozen Ability Users or Psionic Armor Adepts.

Moreover, besides Jiang Qin and Tang Xiaotang, and Pei Ruanruan's trio, the others could only be said to barely be able to adapt to the Spiritual Energy Armor.

For those few, even wearing Spiritual Energy Armor, it would be difficult to exert its power.

Of course, these few might be the worst batch Lu Li had ever led.

Literally the worst.

Next year, the Ability Users and Psionic Armor Adepts signing up would likely flood the gates of Dongcheng University.

This was because Wei Heng had decided to invite the Great Senior to be a visiting professor at the Superpower Academy of Dongcheng University, as well as the honorary dean of the Superpower Academy.

This wasn't difficult; just pestering Jiang Qin relentlessly would likely get it done.

After all, that kid was a genuine doting sister complex.

With Fang Xun around, even just a title could attract a massive number of people.

"Ahem," Lu Li's spirit hadn't been wandering for too long; she quickly brought her thoughts back.

"Today, we aren't having a lecture."

"Huh? Captain, what are we doing then?" Tang Xiaotang asked curiously.

"Today, you will act with our Ability Squad. Go arrange the people coming to Dongcheng City.

We need to clear out some residential areas occupied by Remnant Beastss on the border.

They've been coming too frequently lately; people are even starting to sleep on the streets."

Speaking of this, Lu Li felt a bit speechless.

Initially, in the small place of Dongcheng City, no one lived in the houses. Her own place was directly assigned to her from a house belonging to a former construction company boss.

Now, even the public restrooms could barely fit two people.

In just a few days, the population had suddenly exploded.

Well, it didn't explode in just these few days.

For the past few months, ever since the news of the Great Saint in Dongcheng City spread, the number of people coming to Dongcheng City had gradually increased.

But before, Dongcheng had plenty of houses, and everyone could find a place to live.

It was only in the last few days, bolstered by the absolute shock of the Great Saint's dominance and the sense of security he provided,

that the population suddenly surged.

Then, the newcomers had nowhere to live.

Lu Li was genuinely worried: if the areas recovered by Dongcheng City continued to grow, and Fang Xun couldn't look after everything, what would happen?

"Are we... going to the battlefield?"

A senior student asked nervously.

They were still just children.

"Of course," Lu Li glanced at him. "It's fine. Stick close to Jiang Qin; she can protect you."

Lu Li directly entrusted the task of looking after the upperclassmen to Jiang Qin.

She needed to fight on the front lines and truly didn't have much energy left to look after them.

But it was time for the children from the ivory tower to see the world.

As for Jiang Qin, Lu Li wasn't worried at all.

If Jiang Qin truly encountered danger, certain people would suddenly refresh and smash those things to pieces.

That would save her trouble.

"Understood, Captain," Jiang Qin nodded. She could do it.

"Thank you, Junior Sister," the seniors immediately gathered around Jiang Qin. They were certainly aware of the legend of Verdant Maiden.

"Oh, right," Lu Li looked toward Pei Ruanruan's trio again.

"This place can't compare to the Imperial Capital. There won't be any Dao Protectors specifically looking after you.

Although the Disaster Beast and Remnant Beastss here are slightly weaker, don't be too careless; be extra cautious."

"Thank you for your concern, Captain. We won't," Pei Ruanruan nodded.

Don't compare the three of them with those spoiled good-for-nothings.

They were the Invincible Genius Society, after all.

Incidentally, Jiang Qin had finally joined the Invincible Genius Society, bringing Tang Xiaotang with her.

As for those old seniors, Pei Ruanruan naturally didn't invite them.

"Okay, get ready, and we'll go! Let's move out!"

Lu Li said, and with just a wave of her hand, she made the dozen or so people soar into the air.

Previously, Lu Li couldn't do this.

She could only control so many metal rods because those alchemical metals were custom-made for her.

But after the horse talisman cleared her old injuries, she could manage it.

From that moment on, apart from the unreasonable entity that was Fang Xun,

she was the number one person in Dongcheng City.
