204: Chapter 204: We're all the same age, so why does he have the advantage of being outmatched?

At a remote corner of Starry Sky University.

Freshman dormitory building.

This was a dormitory building remodeled from an abandoned starship, the lights in the corridor flickered on and off, and the air circulation System worked intermittently.

The door of Dormitory 302 was kicked open with a single kick.

A freshman with dark red short hair strode in and casually slammed his luggage bag onto the bed.

"Is this f*cking place for humans to live in?" The red-haired freshman pulled at his collar, his face full of irritability.

"I am at least a seeded player in the Tianxuan Star Domain, and this lousy school just stuffed us into this kind of scrap iron can?"

The long-haired youth in the neighboring bunk sneered, pulled out a short blade from his Storage Ring, and played with it in his hand.

"Be content. I went to ask around just now, the treatment of our High-Risk Class 3 is considered quite good, and the ordinary classes next door live in underground air-raid shelters."

"My ass is good!" The red-haired freshman pulled over a chair and sat down.

"I heard that those early-batch students were assigned independent large villas as soon as they arrived, and even their military training was exempted."

"Why, just because they came two months early?"

The third stalwart youth, who was organizing his battle armor, stopped his movements, his voice rough:

"I heard that too. Moreover, the instructors responsible for our military training this time are none other than this early batch."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the dormitory fell silent for a second.

Afterwards, the red-haired freshman let out a scoff.

"Peers acting as our instructors, what kind of interstellar joke is this."

He leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes filled with disdain, "Everyone just slaughtered their way out of the college entrance examination testing grounds, who is worse than whom?"

"I sensed it just now, in our building alone, there are no fewer than twenty people at the initial stage of the fifth-turn Demigod."

The long-haired youth plugged the short blade back into its sheath, his gaze arrogant.

"I achieved a Breakthrough to the fifth-turn Demigod before the college entrance examination. No matter how good the resources of that early batch are, can they turn the world upside down in two months?"

"If they want to step on our heads and act domineeringly, they still have to see if they have the ability."

The stalwart youth twisted his neck and sneered.

"Tomorrow during the military training, I want to see how capable these so-called instructors really are."

"If they can't even beat me, they'd better surrender the villas early and roll back to live in this lousy dormitory."

The more the three talked, the more excited they became.

As top Prodigy from various Star Domains, the arrogance in their bones did not allow them to bow their heads to their peers.

In their view, the early batch had simply walked two steps ahead. If they truly met in actual combat, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious.

In the corner of the dormitory.

By the window on the lower bunk, a fair-looking boy sat on the edge of the bed.

Wearing a pair of oval glasses, his whole body exuded a timid and honest temperament, making him look very easy to bully.

He did not participate in the heated discussion among the three, but just lowered his head to look at the star key in his hand, his eyes vacant.

He felt that his life was full of black humor.

His original plan was very perfect: to apply for a middle-ranking key university, and choose a Divine Domain direction leaning towards logistics or research.

Safely muddle through until graduation, and then accept the employment of some financial conglomerate or Family.

Be an Advanced consultant, receive a high salary, and live a stable life.

He had even filled out his college applications.

As a result, when the admission notice was issued, he was directly dumbfounded.

Starry Sky University, High-Risk Class 3.

He didn't apply to this school at all!

Later he found out that it was because the admissions office director of his Star Domain,

in order to make up the school's quota, adjusted and transferred him, a good sapling whose comprehensive score met the standards, over here.

What kind of place was Starry Sky University?

The top institution of higher learning in the entire Universe, the casualty rate here was not lower than that of military academies at all.

The students here were either aristocratic Family children with heaven-reaching backgrounds or peerless ruthless people who killed without blinking an eye.

And he was just a Demigod of the Divine Domain plant department.

Looking at the three thorny roommates in the dormitory who were rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, preparing to hard-clash with the instructors during tomorrow's military training, he only felt a wave of headaches.

These idiots.

Those who could enter the early batch, could they be ordinary people? Could those arranged by the school to be instructors lack any real skills?

"These three fools will definitely get beaten up tomorrow." He sighed silently in his heart.

"I only hope that when they get beaten up, they don't splash blood on me. I just want to survive and muddle through to get a graduation certificate."

He turned over, lay down, pulled up the quilt, and covered his head.

The same thought existed not only in Dormitory 302.

In this dormitory building, among nearly a thousand freshmen, more than forty percent of them held similar thoughts.

They were all outstanding talents of their respective Star Domains, with high aspirations and arrogance.

After learning the news that the instructors were peers, feelings of unconviction spread rapidly among the freshman group.

An action of "counter-giving a dismounting blow" against the instructors was brewing in secret.

...

Early the next morning, the main campus of Starry Sky University

The light of the artificial star penetrated the atmosphere of the Dead Star and sprinkled on the plaza.

Lin Yuan appeared in the center of the plaza on time.

He did not deliberately release his Divine Power, nor did he put on any majestic posture.

Just standing quietly there, the surrounding light was pulled by some invisible force field, undergoing subtle distortions.

Sixth-turn Demigod, Law restrained inward.

A few minutes later, several figures flashed over from different directions and landed on the plaza.

On the right side of the plaza, Yan Lie was spinning around Lin Yuan.

"Monitor! Later when we welcome the freshmen, do you need me to throw out a couple of lava meteorites for them to liven up the atmosphere?"

Yan Lie was full of excitement, waving his fists, "As long as you say the word, I'll flatten their dormitory building first!"

Lin Yuan glanced at him, thinking that with these fellows around, could this group of freshmen really survive?

"Shut up, stand straight."

"Alrighty!" Yan Lie immediately brought his heels together and stood behind and to the side of Lin Yuan.

Cheng E walked out from the shadows, with his hands in his pockets.

The moment he saw Lin Yuan, Cheng E's steps paused for a moment.

Quickly adjusting his direction, he walked to a stone pillar furthest from Lin Yuan and leaned against it.

Cheng E's gaze drifted, consistently avoiding direct eye contact with Lin Yuan.

In the Rubiks Cube World, he had been grabbed by the neck with a single hand by the Incarnation of an evil ghost of Lin Yuan.

The scene of having his life Origin sucked dry alive had become an inescapable nightmare in his life.

That sense of absolute suppression made cold sweat uncontrollably seep out of his back whenever he approached within ten meters of Lin Yuan now.

Shen Yubai came stepping on water ripples, landing not far from Cheng E, took a glance at Lin Yuan, and slightly nodded to greet him.

Shen Yubai's mindset was relatively stable.

He was besieged and killed by Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao's Mechanical Deities in the Rubiks Cube World, and did not face Lin Yuan's terror directly.

He knew Lin Yuan was strong, but he didn't have that bone-deep fear.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, Tuoba Lie landed on the plaza.

He was still bare-chested, with totems flickering on his bronze-colored skin.

Tuoba Lie stood up, his gaze staring straight at Lin Yuan.

His breathing grew slightly heavier, and a trace of dread flashed deep within his eyes.

In the Rubiks Cube World, his sternum was crushed by Lin Yuan with a single kick, and the pain of the dual collapse of his Physical Body and Law was still fresh in his memory to this day.

But Tuoba Lie revered the strong, yet he would not lose his own arrogant bones because of it.

Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao walked down the steps of the teaching building.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at her, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao's changes were too huge.

That Vice Monitor who wore black-framed glasses and always had the appearance of a calm top student had disappeared.

Now she had her long hair casually draped, and her gaze was indifferent.

After her mechanized death in the Rubiks Cube World, her Physical Body returned to normal.

But that experience of completely erasing emotions and turning into an absolute rational machine brought earth-shaking changes to her state of mind.

She was no longer troubled by greed, and her spiritual Sea of Consciousness became incomparably pure.

Her Divine Power fluctuations were restrained, but Lin Yuan could feel it.

The Divine Power within her body had completed a deep-level reconstruction, and her strength was more than a tier stronger than a month ago.

Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao walked up to three meters in front of Lin Yuan and stopped.

She looked at Lin Yuan, her gaze complex.

There was instinctive worship towards the strong, gratitude to Lin Yuan for forcing her into a desperate situation to survive, and a hint of a thirst for knowledge wanting to explore Lin Yuan's secrets.

The only thing missing was resentment.

"Monitor." Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao's tone was calm, with not too much emotional fluctuation in her voice.

"The improvement is huge." Lin Yuan gave an objective evaluation.

"A blessing in disguise." Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, stood behind and to the side of Lin Yuan, and said no more.

Time ticked away minute by minute.

Ten minutes had already passed since the agreed gathering time.

Six instructors, still one short.

Tuoba Lie frowned, impatiently kicking a pebble on the ground:

"What on earth did that grandson Bai Ye go and do? Late on the first day of gathering, does he really treat himself like a big shot?"

As soon as his voice fell, a sound of breaking wind came from the sky.

An undead Bone Dragon dove down from the clouds.

The Bone Dragon hovered above the plaza, its bone wings stirring up a gale, blowing everyone's clothes fluttering.

A figure leaped down from the dragon's back and steadily landed in front of everyone.

Seeing the attire of the newcomer, the few people on the plaza were stunned.

Bai Ye wore an exaggerated dark-style floor-length robe, with the collar standing very high, almost covering half of his neck.

On his face was a pale bony half-face mask, revealing only a pair of eyes.

In his hand, he was leaning on a white bone staff embedded with a huge Soul gemstone.

He deliberately lowered his voice, speaking in a hoarse and magnetic tone:

"Everyone, kept you waiting. The awakening of the undead always requires some time."

Tuoba Lie widened his eyes, looking at Bai Ye's attire, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"Are you sick in the head?" Tuoba Lie scolded unceremoniously, "Being late is one thing, dressing up like a shaman dancing for the gods. Do you think today is going to the interstellar theater to perform a grand play?"

In Tuoba Lie's eyes, Bai Ye in the Rubiks Cube World was purely a freeloader hugging Lin Yuan's thighs.

Relying on flattery to mix his way into the position of vice monitor, and now he even dared to put on a mysterious act here.

Bai Ye straightened his body, holding the staff with one hand and heavily stamping it on the ground.

"Do you understand what a sense of oppression is? You muscle idiot whose brain is stuffed with yellow sand."

Bai Ye looked at Tuoba Lie with a disdainful gaze through the mask, "We are going to be instructors today. What do instructors need?"

"They need mystery, they need majesty, they need to make that group of freshmen feel unfathomable at a single glance!"

Bai Ye pointed at Tuoba Lie's bare upper body: "Look at you, bare-chested, like a bandit."

"When the freshmen look at you, they will only think you are a reckless brute with developed limbs and a simple brain, with zero aura."

"Who are you calling a reckless brute!" Tuoba Lie laughed out of extreme anger, yellow sand faintly floating around his body.

"Talking about you." Bai Ye was not afraid at all, his lips outputting like a machine gun.

"What, want to fight? Don't forget, I am a vice monitor now, and you are at most a clerk. Watch your attitude when talking to leadership."

"You're courting death!" Tuoba Lie was completely enraged by this "leadership".

He feared Lin Yuan, but he definitely did not fear Bai Ye this "freeloader".

Yellow sand converged in Tuoba Lie's palm, and the surrounding air became dry and scorching hot.

Bai Ye was not to be outdone either. The Soul gemstone at the top of the staff lit up with a miserable green light, and white frost began to form on the ground beneath his feet.

Seeing that the two were about to fight on the plaza.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan raised his eyelids and glanced at the two.

There was no Divine Power explosion, nor any Domain suppression. Just a simple look.

The yellow sand in Tuoba Lie's palm instantly dissipated.

He gritted his teeth and forcefully swallowed down the anger that had surged to his throat.

Glaring coldly at Bai Ye, he turned around and retreated back to his original position.

Bai Ye also quickly put away his staff, crowded up to Lin Yuan's side, and chimed in:

"Brother Lin Yuan is right, business matters. I won't lower myself to the level of this sand-brain."
