"..."

"Who was the person you were chatting with just now?"

Mo Qinghuan's hand holding the pen jerked violently, then relaxed at once.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Say it again, and I need to get back to work."

Seeing that Mo Qinghuan stubbornly refused to admit it, Mu Xiaoyu had no choice but to get up and leave.

What a coincidence.

The moment Mu Xiaoyu left, Su Luo's call came back.

After much coaxing and persuasion, Mo Qinghuan finally calmed down.

"I'll make the Qian family of Tianshui City understand where the line is."

"At the same time, you'd better mind your own boundaries too."

Mo Qinghuan's words sent a chill through Su Luo's whole body.

"I'll mind my boundaries. See you at university."

After hanging up, his feelings were somewhat complicated.

He felt that Mo Qinghuan might be jealous, but he did not dare ask. Who knew whether she would fly into a rage out of embarrassment?

The start of term arrived quickly.

Before leaving, Su Luo specifically went to bid farewell to his homeroom teacher, Wang Yue, and thank her for her help.

He also visited his biological mother's grave to pay his respects.

The three sisters, meanwhile, finally advanced to the first rank of Noble Ones before the school term began.

During the holiday.

Shen Huaiyue and Shen Huaiyu had both been deeply puzzled.

They had thought the two fellows from the Qian family would latch onto them.

To their surprise, the two were quite sensible and did not come bother them again.

The four got off the train and walked out of the station.

They stood in the city where Giant Ability University was located.

The Giant Metropolis.

At a glance, they spotted Giant Ability University's reception staff.

The four stepped forward and shook hands with the man in turn.

"Hello, my name is Li Shan. I'm a student reception officer at Giant Ability University."

"Please hand me your admission notices. I need to verify everyone's identity."

The three sisters handed their admission notices to Li Shan.

Su Luo handed over his Special Recruit notice instead.

Li Shan glanced at it, and the moment he saw the Special Recruit notice, he was utterly shocked.

According to the information on it, Giant Ability University had actually admitted three Special Recruits this year.

In the past few years, there had not even been a single Special Recruit.

Without question, these three had to be dragons and phoenixes among men.

He raised his eyes and carefully sized Su Luo up.

He wore a mask, so his face could not be seen clearly, but he was probably quite handsome.

Li Shan opened the notice and checked the seal to confirm whether it was genuine.

After confirming that it was real, he stood and returned the notice to Su Luo.

"Student Su Luo, you are one of this year's three Special Recruits."

"A dedicated person will personally take you to the university."

"Are these three young ladies your friends?" Li Shan asked, pointing at the three sisters.

"That's right." Su Luo nodded.

"Alright, please follow me, all four of you." Li Shan smiled warmly and gestured for them to follow.

The four followed Li Shan to an open area.

Three luxury RVs were neatly parked in the open area.

Li Shan waved, signaling the drivers to open the doors.

Then he turned back to look at the four of them.

"Student Su Luo, these are luxury RVs specially prepared for Special Recruits."

"Food, drink, and entertainment—all are available. Have a pleasant journey."

Su Luo let the three behind him board first, then looked at Li Shan.

"Thank you for leading the way, Senior Li Shan."

Seeing Su Luo being so courteous, Li Shan was somewhat flattered and slightly bowed at the waist.

Those previous Special Recruits had all treated ordinary students like them with their noses in the air.

He had not expected such a polite one to suddenly appear, and he felt somewhat at a loss.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. You should get on too."

After waving goodbye, Su Luo entered the RV.

If you can't find a book by its title, try searching for the author. It may simply have been renamed!

The inside of the RV truly had everything one could need.

There were all kinds of alcohol, beverages, and snacks, as well as an enormous movie screen for entertainment.

Once the door closed, the RV started moving.

It carried the four toward the Giant Ability University campus.

Two hours passed.

The light inside the RV suddenly vanished, and everything around them became pitch-black.

The four opened the windows and looked outside.

A towering wall that pierced the clouds immediately appeared before them.

By rough estimate, the wall was at least several hundred meters high and dozens of meters thick.

Perhaps only Moto, one of the three Supreme Experts, could construct such a wall.

That was because Moto possessed the world's one and only SSS-Class Ability: Giant Transformation.

After transforming into a giant, every attribute of his body increased a hundredfold.

That heaven-defying effect allowed him to sit firmly among the three Supreme Experts.

Legend had it that, in order to pass this ability down to his descendants,

he had once gone mad with making his wife bear children.

But regrettably, not a single one of his descendants awakened this ability, leaving him extremely disappointed.

As the four marveled at the sight.

The RV drove into the university plaza, where many students were already waiting.

The difference was that they did not receive the luxury of being picked up and dropped off. They had all taken taxis there themselves.

"Who's that? Why does he get a private car?"

"One look tells me you don't know anything. He has to be one of this year's Special Recruits."

"A Special Recruit? Then he must be a genius."

"Of course. Word on the street is that there are three Special Recruits this year, and each one is more monstrous than the last."

"Monstrous? How monstrous? An S-Class Ability?"

"Tch~ What kind of monster is an S-Class Ability? They're most likely all SSS-Class Ability awakeners."

"Tsk~ Then they really are monsters."

"..."

The RV stopped beneath a raised platform.

Three Stone Seats stood atop the platform, apparently specially prepared for this year's Special Recruits.

At that moment, the driver informed Su Luo and the others to get out.

The four gathered their luggage and stepped out of the RV.

The moment they got out, a university teacher came forward to greet them.

Her gaze swept across the four faces before finally stopping on Su Luo's.

"You're the Special Recruit, Student Su Luo?"

Su Luo nodded somewhat strangely.

"That's right, I'm Su Luo. May I ask your surname, Teacher?"

Mu Xiaoyu said with a smile, "My surname is Mu. Just call me Teacher Mu."

"Teacher Mu, is there something you need?" Su Luo asked.

Mu Xiaoyu raised a hand and pointed at the Three Stone Seats atop the platform.

"The three seats above are specially prepared for this year's Special Recruits."

"Choose a seat you like and sit there while you wait for the testing to begin."

"Testing? What test?" all four asked at once.

Hearing that, Mu Xiaoyu pointed at a square stele behind them.

"By convention, every new student must have their Ability Level and Ability Quality tested upon enrollment."

"That square stele is the tool used for the test."

"The students have not all arrived yet. The testing will begin once everyone is here."

After hearing Mu Xiaoyu's explanation, the four nodded to show that they understood.

"Alright, Su Luo, go on up. Pick a spot you think suits you," Mu Xiaoyu urged.

After exchanging glances with the three sisters, Su Luo stepped onto the platform.

He climbed more than thirty steps and arrived before the Three Stone Seats.

Everyone below the platform was now looking at Su Luo.

They were extremely curious which Stone Seat he would choose.

In the end, Su Luo did not even look at the seats on either side.

He sat directly in the middle Stone Seat, then placed both hands on its armrests.

With a gaze that looked down proudly upon all things, he stared at the crowd below.

Everyone was stunned by the pride radiating from Su Luo.

Until another private car stopped beneath the platform.
