The two opposite walls of the Training Room had Xilin and Knight "embedded" in them.

Xilin dropped from the wall to the ground, moved his arms, and shrugged. With every movement, the crisp sound of bones cracking could be clearly heard. Knight on the opposite side was in a similar condition.

"Haha, this is awesome! It's the first time I've had a good fight since coming to Seven Luminance!!" Knight laughed heartily.

Ci Jincheng and Long watched the two in the arena from the isolation zone, their faces twitching. Were these two actually King Kongs?

They had each smashed a human-shaped dent into the wall, then climbed out, shook themselves off, and were completely fine!

Xilin looked at his clothes. There were several noticeable scorch marks. Fortunately, he had brought spare clothes this time for safety. The training room didn't have separate changing rooms. Since everyone was male, what was there to be shy about? They could just strip and change.

While Xilin and Knight were changing, Long picked up a mini camera and started snapping photos.

"Hehe, next time I'll put photos of you two changing on the Seven Luminance Net for auction~~"

"Long, do you want a picture of yourself stuck to the wall too?" Knight gestured with his chin towards the two human-shaped indentations on the wall.

"Ah, we're roommates, after all. At worst, I'll split the money with you. Speaking of which, Xilin, you're really B-class gene? Many A-class ones can't compare to you."

He changed the subject pretty quickly, but Knight was indeed drawn into the conversation.

"Indeed, with that last move, I felt like I was hit by an armored vehicle." Knight said, shaking his arm. When Xilin had knocked down those two flying cars, he hadn't even used much force, otherwise, they wouldn't have just ended up like that.

Xilin smiled, "It's due to my physique."

"With your physique, you should join the army. Your promotion would be guaranteed to be fast. Like Pride's second brother, Ji Feihang. When he was a recruit, he took on an entire squad by himself. My dad said that's an A+ physique. The reason for this phenomenon might be hybrid vigor."

Hybrid vigor...

Indeed, just by looking at Pride and his second brother's names, one could tell. Their parents were not of the same race. The two sons were named, one after the father and one after the mother.

"But," Knight continued, "some people I know also have parents of different races, but their gene type is only B-class, far from their parents' A-class genes... Of course, I don't know about your situation, Xilin, and I'm not familiar with the Daongs Family." Knight was in a good mood now and talked a lot.

Long narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin, "So, if I find a woman from an extraterrestrial race in the future, will the chance of our child having an A+ gene be higher?"

Ci Jincheng mused, "This has indeed been studied. Some people believe that the greater the geographical isolation between parents, the higher the chance of the offspring surpassing their genes."

"Great!" Long clapped his hands, "I'll go find an alien woman to be my wife in the future!"

"Are you planning to remain chaste?" Xilin asked, not believing him.

"That's two different things. My wife will be from an alien race, but I won't have many requirements for my lovers."

"Tch~~" The three of them showed their disdain.

Xilin would never tell anyone the truth about his physique. The chip integrated into his body was his biggest secret.

Outside the Training Room, a group of students were discussing whether the person inside was an instructor or a senior student. When the door of the Training Room opened, the discussion immediately died down.

Xilin and the other three walked out one after another. Seeing so many students gathered outside the training room, Xilin and the other three merely glanced at them and headed straight for the exit.

"Who are those four? They don't have student badges, and I don't know which year they're in."

"It's that guy!" Some senior students recognized Long. Long's name had spread quickly among the senior students. This was because, during this period, the young master of the Andrelara Family was the most talked-about among the senior students who set up stalls in the Trade Zone.

"So, they're freshmen from this year's intake?"

"This is too fierce!" Someone swallowed hard, looking at the human-shaped indentations smashed into the training room wall. Even students specializing in military arts in the fifth, sixth, or seventh years didn't have this destructive power?

Not far away, a few third-year students were leaning on the railing, their gazes shifting away from Xilin and the other three.

"Fegler Knight? I didn't expect that guy to come to Seven Luminaries. Doesn't he always despise all academies except military schools?" a young man with an earring said, his voice laced with heavy sarcasm.

"Oh? Stolte, you know them? Which one is Knight?" someone next to him asked curiously.

The youth with the earring named Stolte remained silent, seemingly unwilling to elaborate...

At the same time, on a teaching building much farther away, two girls were also discussing. A long-distance viewer was placed in front of them.

"Flo, sis, who do you think was fighting inside just now?"

The girl speaking looked younger, with big, playful eyes. Two dimples appeared on her cheeks when she smiled, making her very cute.

"What do you think?" the girl named Flo asked with a faint, elegant, and refreshing smile.

"Hmm..." The younger girl propped her chin with her hand and pointed at Knight on the screen. "This guy is definitely one of them; his fighting aura hasn't subsided yet." She then pointed at Ci Jincheng. "This guy definitely didn't make a move. As for the remaining two..." Her big eyes swept between Long and Xilin, then pointed at Xilin. "This guy has a higher chance of having made a move."

"I think so too."

"It's just that the training room wall was smashed like that, yet these two guys look completely fine?"

Flo watched the ruby-like flying car ascend and fly away, her eyes filled with complexity. She felt that the days at Seven Luminaries would not be peaceful.

After returning to his dorm, Xilin took a good bath and ate the instant food prepared by the robot before closing the door to sleep. He needed to analyze the day's combat situation in detail in that state.

In his sleep, the sparring session with Knight replayed in his mind, every step, every muscle contraction of Knight, the subtle changes in the surrounding air, the fission of particles, the generation of electric light... everything began to play in high-definition slow motion.

However, Xilin's sleep didn't last too long. He woke up the next morning. He glanced at the time display on his bedside table, scratched his head, and went downstairs to wash up. The aroma of breakfast was already wafting from downstairs.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Long lounging with his legs crossed, shouting at the "Teacher Information Display" on the dormitory teaching platform.

"Look, this teacher's eyes are so beautiful, like shit!"

Xilin: "..."

Is that a compliment or an insult?

Ci Jincheng, who was eating breakfast at the dining table and spreading mayonnaise on his bread, paused upon hearing this. He frowned at the mayonnaise on his bread and suddenly lost his appetite.

Xilin didn't bother with that. After expending mental energy, he urgently needed to replenish his energy. He had the robot make him five servings of the same breakfast, then picked up the ham bread on the table and took a bite. "Where's Knight?"

Long pointed upwards. "He's on the roof messing with some wireless jammer. Oh right, Xilin, our network is usable now. Jincheng installed something, so those people in the management department can't track our real information. Meaning, even if we curse the principal on the Seven Luminance Net, we don't have to worry about being caught and having our credits deducted."

"Not just the Seven Luminance Net, but the B Star Zone University Alliance Network too," Ci Jincheng confirmed.

"That's absolutely fantastic! I had a flash of inspiration yesterday and put together a love letter. I'm going to send it to all the beauties in the B Star Zone universities!" Long excitedly took out his electronic notebook.

Xilin and Ci Jincheng leaned in to see what kind of touching and profound declaration of love it was.

The electronic notebook read:

"You are that fire. The moment you appeared, my entire body's blood began to boil my soul, churning for you. That heat, deep in my bones, makes me willing to search all the star systems for carnations to chase your footsteps, which refuse to stop for anyone..."

Xilin and Ci Jincheng broke out in a sweat. The horrifying words about boiling blood and souls could be overlooked, but what was with the carnations?

The two pointed at the word "carnation" on the electronic notebook, rendered in pink and crimson red tones, and looked at Long.

"Huh? Doesn't carnation symbolize passionate love?" Long's eyes widened, his expression innocent.

"Then what does a red rose symbolize?" Xilin asked again.

Long wore an expression like a child would know this. "Of course I know that. It's a curse!"

Xilin, Ci Jincheng: "..."

Curse your sister!

Knight, who had just finished installing the jammer and was coming down the stairs, ready to show off, was so startled he almost fell down the stairs.

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!

Young Master, you can't misuse flower language when writing love letters!

Xilin and the other two finally profoundly realized which string was missing in this Young Master's brain.

Thanks to book friend ree for the reward! ^^ Seeing a familiar name again, I'm excited!
