Entering Camp Trial Begins

In the dormitory at night.

Lin Zichen sat cross-legged on the bed and underwent four rounds of body tempering.

In order to achieve his goal of Quinary Body Tempering before his sophomore year, he would temper his body whenever he had free time.

I don't know how much time passed.

Lin Zichen slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a deep breath, and then, with a thought, brought up the body tempering progress bar to check the progress.

[Four-times Skin Tempering: 12%]

Only 12%...

The quenching efficiency was slightly slower than when it was quenched three times.

It's not too slow, so it's acceptable.

"Xiao Chen, am I coming in?"

Shen Qinghan's sweet voice rang out from outside the dormitory door.

Before Lin Zichen could respond, she used her Mental Power to open the door remotely and entered the dormitory without permission.

The couple didn't have many rules; they could come and go as they pleased.

Why didn't you dry your hair after showering?

Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan as she entered, and seeing that her hair was wet, he couldn't help but say something to her.

Shen Qinghan took off her slippers and sat on the bed. "I want to dry my hair too, but there's no hairdryer in the dorm, so I can't."

Hearing her say that, Lin Zichen realized that there really wasn't a hairdryer in the dormitory.

This tiny single-room dormitory room has very few electrical appliances.

"Then let me use my qi and blood to dry you out."

As Lin Zichen spoke, he placed his hand on Shen Qinghan's hair, and with a thought, released wisps of scorching blood energy, slowly evaporating the moisture from her hair.

Two minutes later.

Most of the moisture in the hair has evaporated.

My hair is no longer wet and sticky.

Instead, the strands spread out smoothly, appearing very soft and pleasing to the eye.

"You help me dry my hair, and in return, I'll make you feel better."

Shen Qinghan smiled gently.

After saying that, she gently pushed Lin Zichen down, brushed her bangs that were getting in the way behind her ears, and then bent down to serve Lin Zichen tenderly.

Lin Zichen didn't speak, but closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the moment.

About half an hour later.

Shen Qinghan finished her service, climbed onto Lin Zichen and lay down, smiling as she said:

"Feeling better now?"

"Comfortable."

Lin Zichen said with a satisfied expression.

Shen Qinghan tossed a strand of hair that had slipped down behind her ear and said in a soft voice, "I've made you feel good, shouldn't you give me a reward?"

Lin Zichen poked her soft cheek and said with a smile, "That comfortable feeling was my reward for drying your hair. Why do you want a reward?"

I want it!

Shen Qinghan spoke in a soft, coquettish voice.

Lin Zichen pinched her cute bottom, smiled affectionately, and said, "Get up, I'll go get your reward."

"There really is a reward?"

Shen Qinghan sat up in surprise.

Lin Zichen sat up, reached for the backpack on the bedside table, took out a small, delicate medicine bottle, and handed it to her, saying:

"Here's your reward."

"Aren't these the ten Advanced Blood Qi Pill you won during the day?"

Yes, I've given them all to you.

"No way! Keep some for yourself, why give it all to me?"

Shen Qinghan did not take the small medicine bottle offered to her.

The reward she had just asked for was something like a kiss from Lin Zichen; she never expected something so valuable.

Although she and Lin Zichen were not strangers, but childhood sweethearts who had grown up together, she couldn't bring herself to accept ten Advanced Blood Qi Pill worth millions with a clear conscience.

At most, I'll accept one, and then slowly make it up to Lin Zichen in the future.

In short, we can't let Lin Zichen get away with this for free; we can't let Lin Zichen lose out.

The contributions from both sides must be equal.

Lin Zichen knew what Shen Qinghan was thinking, and said gently:

"I don't need this Advanced Blood Qi Pill. I can easily improve my Qi and Blood by running a few laps on the track, which is equivalent to the effect of an Advanced Blood Qi Pill. Giving it to me would be a complete waste."

"Then we can give some to Aunt Xin and Uncle Sheng."

"My parents are ordinary people; they can't withstand the effects of Advanced Blood Qi Pill."

After saying that, Lin Zichen directly put the small medicine bottle into Shen Qinghan's hand, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "Don't be afraid of owing me anything. We're family. Your well-being is my well-being, understand?"

Seeing that Lin Zichen had already put it this way, Shen Qinghan had no reason to be coy anymore, so she pursed her lips and accepted the small medicine bottle.

She thought to herself that she would definitely repay Lin Zichen in other ways in the future, so that he could earn back his money with interest.

After calming herself down a bit, Shen Qinghan leaned in and kissed Lin Zichen on the cheek, her beautiful eyes crinkling into a sweet smile as she said, "Thank you for the sugar daddy's allowance. Hanhan 'll serve you even better from now on."

"Little Dirty Girl, you're getting more and more flirtatious with your words."

Lin Zichen pinched Shen Qinghan's cherry lips and teased her with a smile.

Shen Qinghan pushed Lin Zichen down again, leaned on him, gazed deeply into his eyes, and asked in a soft, seductive voice, "So, do you like it?"

"Like."

Lin Zichen nodded honestly.

Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly, brought her face close to Lin Zichen's ear, and said in an even softer voice, "Daddy, Hanhan can be even more seductive~"

After saying that, she lowered her head and kissed him, using her soft lips to please Lin Zichen.

She knew very well that there was nothing she could do to help Lin Zichen at this stage.

The only thing she could do was to provide emotional support to Lin Zichen as his childhood sweetheart.

And occasionally, she would use her not-so-skilled techniques to make him feel good.

The next day, at 5 a. m.

It was still dark.

Lin Zichen got up, washed up, and went to the dormitory next door to wake Shen Qinghan up.

After she finished washing up, I went with her to the canteen for breakfast, and then we went to the playground to assemble together.

When the two arrived at the playground, there weren't many people gathered there.

There were only seven people.

They were Ma Xiwei, the five people from the Military District, and that pretty female freshman from Capital University.

As for the five members of the Machine God Group, none of them showed up.

At this moment, the five young men from the Military District were enthusiastically talking to the two girls, wanting to get to know these two beautiful women.

Ma Xiwei very aloof and didn't pay much attention to the five people from the Military District.

In contrast, the girl from Capital University seemed much more enthusiastic, chatting and laughing with the five people from the Military District.

Good morning!

A dark-skinned young man from the Military District greeted Lin Zichen with a smile when he saw him arrive.

The dark-skinned youth was the one who wanted to spar with Lin Zichen yesterday; his name was Zhao Yuanzhong.

"Morning."

Lin Zichen responded politely.

Zhao Yuanzhong was very outgoing and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, asking curiously:

"Are you two siblings or lovers, always together?"

When he asked that question, the other four people from the Military District, as well as the girl from Capital University, all turned to look at him.

Clearly, these people all care about the relationship between Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

Before Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan could answer, the aloof Ma Xiwei spoke up:

"Those two are an engaged couple, so don't overthink it."

Upon hearing this, the others all looked regretful.

Five young men from the Military District, but unfortunately Shen Qinghan is already taken.

That girl from Capital University, unfortunately, Lin Zichen is already taken.

Zhao Yuanzhong looked at Lin Zichen and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that, I was just asking out of curiosity."

"I know."

Lin Zichen gave Zhao Yuanzhong a way out.

Teenage boys, those who know, know: when they see a pretty girl, they want to get to know her.

The little thoughts in her heart are almost transparent; they can be seen through at a glance.

"I heard that the younger generation in your Military District have all undergone training in the Origin Land?"

Lin Zichen sensed the awkward atmosphere, so he changed the subject and asked Zhao Yuanzhong.

He had always been curious about the Origin Land, and now that he was in the Military District, he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about it.

Zhao Yuanzhong: "I'd say I barely qualify."

"Reluctantly?"

Lin Zichen was puzzled by this.

If you've been there, you've been there; if you haven't been there, you haven't been there. What does it mean to barely count it as having been there?

Zhao Yuanzhong explained, "The Military District has garrisoned cities in the Origin Land. Young soldiers like us, whose Biological Rank is still at an ordinary stage, are sometimes assigned to do odd jobs in the cities, but we can't leave the cities."

"Entering the city is like entering the Origin Land, but if you can't leave the city and can't access the Origin Land outside the city, which is full of primal competition, it's the same as not entering at all."

"To truly enter the Origin Land, it's impossible without Advanced- Biological Rank."

"Ordinary Rank creatures simply cannot withstand the repulsion of the Boundary Force."

"We can only stay inside the city and move around under the protection and isolation of the city's defenses."

Boundary Force repulsion?

This was the first time Lin Zichen had heard this term, and he quickly asked, "What is Boundary Force repulsion?"

Zhao Yuanzhong continued to explain, "When Earthling enter the Origin Land, they will be driven away by an invisible force. However, this force is not strong and only has a significant impact on those whose Biological Rank is below Advanced."

After saying that, he laughed and said, "I know you're going to ask next whether Exotic Beast are repelled by the Boundary Force on Earth."

"The answer is, it will be repelled by the Boundary Force, and by an even stronger Boundary Force."

"In fact, the strength of many Exotic Beasts on Earth has been weakened by the Boundary Force."

"They will be even stronger in the Origin Land."

"In the face of humans, they are virtually invincible among beings of the same level."

Zhao Yuanzhong continued, "Otherwise, given that the Biological Rank are the same, what makes you think that Earth's Gene Fusionist could defeat the Exotic Beast that are the source of the genes?"

"I see."

Lin Zichen nodded, having learned a lot of useful information.

This kind of knowledge cannot be learned from books.

Seeing Lin Zichen's bewildered expression, Zhao Yuanzhong couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't your elders tell you this?"

"No."

Lin Zichen shook his head.

He didn't tell Zhao Yuanzhong that his parents were ordinary people who knew nothing about these things, and didn't even know about the existence of the Origin Land.

We chatted like that for a while, about this and that.

As time went on, the remaining participants in the special training gradually gathered on the training ground.

There were 20 people on the entire playground.

The Military District, Shanhai University, Kyoto University, and the Machine God Group each have 5 members.

It was 7 a. m.

A man jumped off the rooftop of a building in front of them and landed with a thud in front of the crowd, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After the dust settles.

What came into view was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early thirties and was wearing a camouflage uniform.

Lin Zichen had a thought and sensed the man's Biological Rank.

Very high.

High- Advanced Tier 6.

With that kind of ability, he would definitely be Dean a college in one of the two major universities.

Moreover, they are the Dean of the two strongest academies, the Evolution Academy and the Mechanical Academy.

Is everyone here?

The man glanced at the scattered crowd and asked in a loud voice.

Zhao Yuanzhong's voice was equally loud. "Reporting, Instructor, everyone is here!"

He was the captain of the five men in the Military District.

However, he wasn't the strongest in terms of ability; he was simply the most proactive person.

After listening to Zhao Yuanzhong's answer.

The man nodded, then introduced himself to those who didn't recognize him, "My name is Lu Tianrong, and I'm your instructor for this special training. You can call me Instructor Lu."

After that brief self-introduction, he began to command the group in front of him, "Now, starting with the five from the Military District, please report in order, beginning with a brief self-introduction!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Zhao Yuanzhong, who was at the front of the five people in the Military District, immediately began to introduce himself and report for duty.

"Military District, Zhao Yuanzhong!"

The four people behind him then reported for duty.

"Military District, He Yancheng!"

"Military District, Liu Ruihe!"

"..."

After reporting to the Military District, others followed suit and reported to their posts one after another.

"Mo Yanwei of the Machine God Group!"

"Zhang Kai of the Machine God Group!"

"Machine God Group, Zhu Shishi"

"..."

"Kyoto University, Qin Chuan!"

"Kyoto University, Gao Mu!"

'Kyoto University, Shangguan Yueying!'

"..."

"Shanhai University, Lin Zichen!"

"Shanhai University, Li Moyu!"

"Shen Qinghan from Shanhai University!"

"..."

As everyone loudly reported their names, Lu Tianrong, the instructor, had already memorized each person's appearance.

After registration is completed.

Lu Tianrong addressed the group, "I won't waste any more time on small talk. You're all here to participate in special training and improve yourselves."

"Now, I'm going to divide you into four temporary teams. After that, you'll immediately begin the Camp Entrance Assessment."

"You will begin your real special training after the Camp Entrance Assessment is completed."

After speaking, Lu Tianrong wasted no time and immediately began to randomly assign everyone to teams.

"Luo Yongjian from Shanhai University, go over to the Machine God Group."

"Shangguan Yueying from Kyoto University, go to Shanhai University."

"He Yancheng from the Military District, you'll go to Kyoto University."

"Zhang Kai from the Machine God Group, go to the team at Shanhai University."

"Zhao Yuanzhong from the Military District, go to Shanhai University."

"..."

It took Lu Tianrong about two minutes to shuffle all four teams.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were lucky; they weren't transferred to other teams and remained in the Shanhai University team as a couple.

However, all three original team members were transferred away.

The replacements were Shangguan Yueying from Capital University, Zhang Kai from the Machine God Group, and Zhao Yuanzhong from the Military District.

Lin Zichen had figured out the pattern in Instructor Lu Tianrong's team assignments.

It's about ensuring the team is sufficiently diverse.

We need people from Mountain University, people from Capital University, as well as people from the Machine God Group and the Military District.

This was definitely not arranged randomly; there must have been a special purpose behind it.

However, the intention behind this is currently unknown.

Lin Zichen thought it must be related to teamwork, testing the ability of a team to work with strangers.
