No Mentor! Level 51 Senior!

"Teacher Ling also mentioned the Freshman Tournament—it seems this tournament is truly extremely important!"

Lu Yuan's gaze darkened as he clenched his fists.

Growl~

Just then, Lu Yuan's stomach let out an untimely protest.

Lu Yuan understood his stomach's complaint.

After all, from the moment he got off the high-speed rail until now, he hadn't eaten a proper meal, so being hungry was only natural.

With that thought, he opened "Heart in Shen Da" and clicked into the cafeteria delivery module.

As soon as he entered, all kinds of delicacies greeted his eyes!

The images displayed on the screen made his mouth water just by looking at them!

"As expected of a top-tier university! Even the variety of food is this rich!"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up as he couldn't help but praise.

With so many food options, Lu Yuan was spoiled for choice.

In the end, he decided to order a simple braised chicken rice!

The delivery arrived quickly.

While savoring the braised chicken rice, Lu Yuan took the opportunity to search the campus forum for preparations and precautions needed when entering the otherworldly passage for the first time.

These weren't included in the "52nd-Year Freshman Must-Read Guide"; Lu Yuan had to search specifically to find them!

Everyone cherishes their life, So generally speaking, no one would connect freshmen with entering the Underground World passage.

But Lu Yuan was different—he had awakened a system!

If he wanted to grow stronger quickly, entering the Underground World passage to hunt ferocious beasts was inevitable.

After a hearty meal, Lu Yuan left the dormitory.

His current goal was to visit the Seventh-Rank Ice Grandmaster on campus in advance.

It would be even better if the instructor took a liking to him as a disciple.

A casually chosen student wouldn't receive special attention—it would be about the same as one-on-one tutoring in a cram school.

But being a disciple was different!

That was about inheritance, about teaching real skills!

An instructor's energy was limited; if they were to train a disciple, the time and resources spent would be incalculable, never something achieved overnight.

Based on information from the campus forum, Lu Yuan learned the details of the Seventh-Rank Ice Grandmaster on campus.

Qin Tianlong, age 46, awakened with the S-rank Supernatural Ability Nine Nether Profound Ice, realm seventh-order Lower Rank, especially skilled in spear technique, and served as the dean of the Ice Element Academy at the school.

Most crucially, he had created his own exclusive S-rank Skill, "Ice Blast Technique"!

According to Ling Weiwei's notes, Lu Yuan already knew Qin Tianlong's residence on campus.

Shencheng Supernatural University's campus was enormous; even riding a shared electric scooter took nearly half an hour!

Over twenty minutes later, Lu Yuan could already see Qin Tianlong's residence in the distance.

Like the students, the instructor's residence was also a two-story villa.

The only difference was that students had double occupancy, while instructors had single occupancy.

After parking a shared electric scooter in one spot, Lu Yuan walked toward Qin Tianlong's residence.

As he walked and was about to reach the villa's front door, A senior student with a somewhat mature face and black-rimmed glasses approached.

That senior shook his head and spoke first: "Instructor Qin isn't here. You should head back."

Lu Yuan immediately asked, "Who are you?"

He had ridden the electric scooter for over twenty minutes; he couldn't just turn around and leave based on one person's words without getting to the bottom of things.

The black-rimmed glasses senior smiled slightly and introduced himself: "I'm Hu Dahai, a 51st-year student of Instructor Qin. You must be a specially recruited freshman..."

"I'm a 52nd-year freshman, Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan nodded.

He didn't find it strange. Since the other party was Instructor Qin's student, had never seen him before, and he was already at the villa's door, it was natural to assume he was a specially recruited freshman.

Hu Dahai continued, his expression full of surprise: "Then you must have awakened at least an S-rank Ice Element Supernatural Ability, right?"

"Mm, I awakened the S-rank Ice Element Supernatural Ability Ice Snow Crown!"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

As he spoke, Lu Yuan casually activated his ability, and a wave of chill erupted from his body!

Above his head, a crown formed of ice and snow quietly appeared.

"Then no problem. Our school hasn't had a student awaken an ice-type S-class supernatural ability in years. Instructor Qin will definitely pick you—he might even take you on as a disciple!"

Hu Dahai patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and chuckled, acting like they were already old friends.

Shifting the topic, Hu Dahai added, "It's just a pity that Instructor Qin left a few days ago for the Underground World passage in the province. According to the butler at the gate, he probably won't be back for a week."

"Alright then, I'll come back in a week..."

Lu Yuan turned his head, about to leave—

Just then, Hu Dahai said amiably, "Since you're already my future junior brother in my book, and I've got nothing to do right now, how about I show you around the west side of Shen University? You just got to campus today, right..."

Lu Yuan gave a slight nod, indicating his agreement.

As a newcomer, not knowing the roads wouldn't do—he couldn't just keep staring at a map.

After they toured a few classic spots, Hu Dahai suddenly said to Lu Yuan, "You know, the Miss of the Xia Family was specially recruited to our school, and she's in the same year as you!"
