209: Chapter 209: All the Demons and Monsters Have Arrived

Lin Yuan stepped out of Instructor Wen Muxue's floating island, and the moment his foot touched the main road of Starry Sky University, he deeply experienced the true weight of the "trouble" mentioned by his unscrupulous homeroom teacher.

The top-secret list of the vanguard leaders had not yet been officially announced.

But in this territory of Starry Sky University, the intelligence networks of the aristocratic families and financial conglomerates were denser than spider webs.

As soon as he walked past two experimental buildings, a faint wave of fragrance assailed him from ahead.

A sophomore senior sister wearing a backless battle armor and long legs stepping in combat boots blocked the middle of the road.

She leaned sideways against a stone sculpture, her eyes shifting gracefully, and a badge that read "Vice President of the Starry Mutual Aid Society" gleamed brightly on her chest.

"Junior Lin Yuan, I've heard so much about you."

The senior sister actively stepped forward, the edges of her battle armor rising and falling slightly with her breath, and her words were filled with undisguised, fiery passion.

"The Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races is so dangerous, and my Divine Domain is the rare [Spring of Life], which can not only help your dependents recover health at a high intensity."

"I personally... can also provide you with all-around, close-contact psychological counseling during the long interstellar voyage."

Lin Yuan stepped back half a step to open up some distance.

This woman's brain was filled entirely with waste material.

She even dared to bring this kind of low-level coaxing tactic to Starry Sky University to use.

This was the campus, and eyes and ears were everywhere.

It really wasn't convenient for Lin Yuan to directly take action and throw her out.

"No need." Lin Yuan walked around her and strode forward, "I'm afraid the senior sister's skills are too poor and might sprain my waist."

Jiang Yan froze in place, her expression shifting between green and white.

At Starry Sky University, relying on her support Divine Domain and appearance, she had always been a hot commodity fought over by various Prodigy teams. When had she ever seen such a blunt straight man who spoke so crudely?

Lin Yuan quickened his pace, wanting only to rush back to the villa.

Not long after walking, he arrived at a plaza.

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie with a Slick Back suddenly jumped out from behind a flower bed.

The man was holding a holographic tablet with a flattering smile plastered all over his face as he squeezed in front of Lin Yuan.

"Student Lin Yuan! Long admired! I am Qian Baiwan, Chief Operating Officer of Tianquan Star Industry and Trade!"

The man spoke at an extremely fast pace, as if he was afraid Lin Yuan would run away.

"Every performance of yours since your Awakening has been closely followed by our company's senior management from start to finish! You are simply the light of the Human Race! A peerless Prodigy!"

Lin Yuan frowned, looking at this plutocrat manager who had popped up out of nowhere.

The management of Starry Sky University was extremely strict; for someone from an external financial conglomerate to sneak in like this, they had clearly spent a large sum of money.

"Get to the point." Lin Yuan interrupted his flattery.

Qian Baiwan gave a chuckle, his fingers sliding rapidly across the holographic tablet.

A set of silver-white streamlined battle armor was projected into mid-air.

"This is the "Silver Moon Type III" conceptual battle armor newly developed by our Starlight Heavy Industries. It is forged using deep-sea sunken silver and the bones of starry sky behemoths."

Qian Baiwan rubbed his hands, his eyes flashing with a businessman's shrewdness.

"As long as Student Lin Yuan wears this set of battle armor throughout the entire Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races and cooperates with us to conduct three live broadcasts on the Star Net."

"Our company is willing to pay five billion faith points as an endorsement fee! Furthermore, the battle armor will be given as a free gift!"

Lin Yuan looked at this flashy battle armor and sneered inwardly.

This thing looked cool, but on the battlefield, it was actually just a living target.

Starlight Heavy Industries was trying to use his life to advertise their product.

"Five billion?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! Five billion!" Thinking that Lin Yuan was tempted, Qian Baiwan hurriedly added:

"If Student Lin Yuan can live... oh no, return in triumph, we have subsequent business cooperation!"

"The school has regulations that vanguard members are prohibited from participating in any commercial activities during the preparation period."

Lin Yuan casually made up an excuse, reaching out to push away the holographic tablet blocking his path, "Manager Qian, you should go find someone else."

"Hey! Student Lin Yuan! The price is negotiable! Eighty billion! One hundred billion is fine too!" Qian Baiwan shouted from behind.

Lin Yuan completely ignored him, his footsteps not stopping.

Just as he shook off this financial conglomerate manager, Lin Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He keenly perceived that in the shadows of the buildings around the plaza and behind the flower beds, more than a dozen gazes were staring fixedly at him.

Some people had even taken out high-precision recording equipment and aimed it at his face to film.

"There is Lin Yuan!"

"Quick! Pass the Family's invitation letter over!"

"Student Lin Yuan! I am from the Jiangnan Li Family! Our Family head wants to see you!"

A group of people surged out from all directions, like a school of sharks that had smelled blood.

Lin Yuan's scalp tingled.

This leader position was simply a super spotlight.

It had attracted all sorts of freaks and monsters.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan directly mobilized the Divine Power within his body.

Exerting force with his feet, the stone slab ground cracked inch by inch.

Lin Yuan transformed into a blur, breaking the sound barrier and kicking up a gust of wind as he sprinted wildly in the direction of the freshman villa area.

"Don't run, Student Lin Yuan!"

"Our Young Miss wants to enter into a political marriage with you!"

"..."

This bunch of people was even more troublesome than the monsters in the Abyss.

Aliens could be directly killed, but this bunch of people could not be killed; they could only be avoided.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Yuan rushed into the gate of villa No. [079].

After passing through the gate, a pale blue light curtain lit up behind him.

Isolating the trailing auras outside.

Lin Yuan walked to the center of the living room and plopped down onto a futon.

Just as he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, his wrist's private terminal suddenly began to vibrate.

He raised his wrist.

The screen was densely packed with missed calls and unread messages.

[Tianhai Province Chamber of Commerce Alliance requests a call]

[Star River Pharmaceutical Group sent a top-secret contract]

[Jiangcheng City Lord's Mansion sent a congratulatory message]

"Classmate Lin, I am the eldest daughter of the Jiangdong Yun Family. Could we study the path of Divine Domain evolution together at the Drunken Immortal Tower tonight?"

"Leader Lin, the Longevity Guild cordially invites you to serve as an honorary director, with absolutely no restrictions on your freedom..."

"Brother Lin, take a look at our group's red underwear proposal!"

Lin Yuan's mouth twitched, his fingers swiping frantically across the screen.

Select all with one click, and blacklist them all.

Conveniently turning on the highest-level isolation do-not-disturb mode.

The world of the entire terminal finally became quiet.

This array of circumstances made him dream back to the days in Jiangcheng when he experienced the major exam sorting.

Back then, the province's aristocratic families also hammered on his door, and local financial conglomerates tried to drug him and forcefully send a wealthy Young Miss to make things official.

Now that he had arrived at Starry Sky University, this group of people's methods still hadn't changed.

"No matter where you go, a grassroots person rising to prominence will always be targeted by this bunch of vampires."

Lin Yuan sighed, tossing the terminal onto the marble coffee table beside him,

With his arms cushioned behind his head, he prepared to take a short nap.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The terminal vibrated again.

Lin Yuan frowned.

He had clearly activated the highest-level do-not-disturb mode, so how could a call still get through?

He opened his eyes and looked at the screen.

The screen displayed no number, only a circle of military encryption formation patterns slowly rotating.

It was Commander Xiao Lie.

Lin Yuan straightened his body and pressed the answer button.

Light flickered, and Commander Xiao Lie's holographic projection appeared in the center of the living room.

The projected image was somewhat unstable, occasionally showing static dots and lag.

The background of the projection was a shattered Void Realm.

Dark red energy storms raged, and meteorite fragments collided with each other in the storm, sending sparks flying everywhere.

"So many people looked for me today." Lin Yuan looked at Commander Xiao Lie in the projection and rubbed his temples.

"This leader position is simply a huge trouble."

Commander Xiao Lie wore blood-red armor and carried a long saber in his hand.

Hearing Lin Yuan's complaint, he let out a loud laugh.

"Congratulations, Lin Yuan." Commander Xiao Lie wiped a streak of blood from his face, "Starry Sky University vanguard leader."

"This position isn't something just anyone can sit in; goodness knows how many pairs of eyes across the entire Federation are staring at you."

A trace of nostalgia flashed through Commander Xiao Lie's eyes.

"Back then, I also participated in the Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races. Back then, I was also a thorn in the side, cutting my way all the way through. Thinking about it, I really miss those days."

Lin Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile.

"What's there to congratulate?" Lin Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly:

"I don't even dare to step out of the campus gate right now; the moment I go out, I'm treated like a monkey on display."

"Those financial conglomerates wish they could strip me bare and sell me for money."

Looking at the young man in front of him with a face full of disgust, Commander Xiao Lie couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.

"You brat, stop fishing for compliments after getting the better end of the deal; what does a little trouble like this count as?"

Commander Xiao Lie pointed at Lin Yuan, his stern facial features tightening: "These flies you are encountering now are merely appetizers."

"The severity of the situation is far more complex than you imagine."

Lin Yuan's heart sank.

Commander Xiao Lie was the Commander-in-Chief of the Spark Legion, guarding the Abyssal frontline all year round.

Something that could make him use the word "severe" to describe it was definitely no small matter.

"Is there a major movement from the alien races?" Lin Yuan asked.

"It's not just the alien races."

Commander Xiao Lie sneered, "The internal Human Race is not clean either; by taking this position, you have blocked many people's paths."

Commander Xiao Lie paused and continued speaking.

"Inside Starry Sky University, I have an old friend."

"She used to be my classmate. Over the next period of time, she will come find you."

"To tell you specifically what to do and how to handle the upcoming situation."

"Just listen to her arrangements; she can protect you."

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

Commander Xiao Lie's classmate.

To be able to be classmates with this theater commander-in-chief and now stay at Starry Sky University to teach.

This was at least a hidden True God level big shot.

For even a person of this level to personally step down to guide him, the danger level of this Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races skyrocketed in Lin Yuan's heart.

The projected image shook again, becoming somewhat illusory.

Lin Yuan looked at Commander Xiao Lie, originally wanting to bring up the matter of the Red Mist Contamination Zone.

He wanted to use that forbidden land as the habitat for his Divine Kingdom after ascending to a True God.

This matter required the military's cooperation and intelligence support.

But right as the words reached his lips, Lin Yuan swallowed them back down.

It was too early to bring this up now.

It was still a long way off.

Once he returned alive from the Blood Pact War and obtained enough bargaining chips, then applying would be justified.

"Commander Xiao, your environment over there is quite lively." Lin Yuan looked at the huge energy light clusters exploding in the background and changed the topic, "What are you doing?"

Commander Xiao Lie exercised his wrists and said, "My hands are itching."

A intense killing intent erupted in his eyes, "That bunch of scum on the frontline has been restless lately, always probing at the edge of the defense line."

"I came out to kill a few Abyssal Demon Gods, stretch my muscles and bones, and give them a reminder by the way."

Lin Yuan looked at the projection.

A dignified theater commander-in-chief, not devising strategies within the safety of the rear command post.

Instead, he was right on the front line every day, picking up a saber to chop people down personally.

The style of the Spark Legion was truly tough enough.

Lin Yuan did not say those polite nonsense words like "pay attention to safety" or "take care of your health".

Those kinds of words were not suitable for people like them.

Lin Yuan looked at Commander Xiao Lie, grinning to reveal a wild smile.

"Kill a few more." Lin Yuan's mouth carried a smile, yet it exuded a fierce ruthlessness, "Leaving them takes up space."

Commander Xiao Lie was stunned for a moment.

Afterward, he burst into a loud laugh.

"You brat..."

Commander Xiao Lie pointed at Lin Yuan and scolded him with a smile.

The image was cut off amidst a burst of violent explosions, and the holographic projection dissipated in the living room.

Lin Yuan leaned back against the sofa, looking at the empty living room.

Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races.

Alien Prodigies.

Internal Human Race.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, and the Divine Power within his body began to circulate along a specific route.

Since trouble could not be avoided, he would kill everyone who created trouble.

The storm was about to arrive, and he was already prepared to draw his blade.

Come on, no matter who it was, anyone who dared to block his path running toward his habitat would be slain.
