The security guard's attitude was not bad, nor did he have any unfriendly expression; he was simply doing his job in a professional capacity.
The driver rolled down his window, lit a cigarette, and watched as if he were observing a spectacle.
"I don't have a key card; my family lives inside," Jiang Fan replied.
"Then call your family."
"Good."
Just as Jiang Fan was about to take out his phone, he heard a sweet, soft voice coming from inside the gate.
" Brother Fan!"
Upon hearing the shout, Jiang Fan instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
Tang Duo, dressed in a pink tutu, was running happily towards him, and as always, she hugged his leg.
And as always, he touched the little girl's soft hair, "She seems to have grown a bit taller."
"That's because I've been drinking milk every morning lately, and I've had an endless supply of chicken, duck, and fish every day. Mom even bought me calcium supplements. And also..."
Tang Guo kept sharing her happy life with Jiang Fan, wanting Jiang Fan to know that it was all thanks to him, that he had brought such wonderful days to the family.
Hearing these words, Jiang Fan's lips curled into a gratified smile.
This is the most important reason why he strives to improve his own strength.
Tang Duo also walked over with a smile. Unlike Tang Guo, her gaze towards Jiang Fan showed more of the concern an older sister has for her younger brother.
Have you grown taller too?
Jiang Fan nodded and replied with a smile, "It didn't grow as much as Guoguo, only 2cm."
Tang Duo rolled her eyes speechlessly, " Guoguo, how much taller is she? You were already 181cm, okay? Now you've grown another 2cm, that's 183cm! How much taller do you want to grow?"
Nobody thinks they're too tall.
The group walked into the villa while talking.
The driver hissed, "I really misjudged him today. This kid doesn't seem to have any special skills. Apart from his eye-catching face, he doesn't have anything else remarkable. Luckily, I didn't make sarcastic remarks. He really is a resident of Yunlu Bay."
It's no wonder the driver was apprehensive. As he had said before, the people who could live in Yunlu Bay were all wealthy and powerful, not someone a lowly driver like him could afford to offend.
In the afternoon, Jiang Fan was resting in his room when he suddenly received a call from Teacher Yuanwu Xing Wu.
"Are you home yet?"
"We arrived this morning."
"Okay, remember to report for duty first thing tomorrow morning. Bring your luggage; the school requires all students to live on campus."
"Okay, thank you for reminding me Teacher Xing."
"And—" Xing Wu's voice became extremely solemn as he said those two words, "You must survive the trial in the Inner Wilderness Zone!"
It's no wonder Xing Wu was so serious; after all, it was the Inner Wilderness Zone teeming with monsters. Although it was far less dangerous than the Outer Wilderness Zone, it was still fraught with peril.
Moreover, Jiang Fan is just a freshman who has just entered university. No matter how talented he is, he is still a rough diamond that has not been polished.
In the past, Yuanwu School had also had its share of geniuses who perished during the freshman trials. Although it was a great pity, their school had always upheld this tradition.
Jiang Fan could sense the worry and importance Xing Wu placed on him from his tone.
Compared to Xing Wu's anxiety, Jiang Fan remained calm.
No, to be precise, I'm really looking forward to entering the Inner Wilderness Zone, because that would give me a chance to earn more points.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely survive."
"Um."
The next day.
early morning.
Jiang Fan arrived at the entrance of Yuanwu early by taxi.
At first glance, it stretches out like Yunlu Bay, seemingly without end.
It was so large that even if Jiang Fan used his Psychic Power to cover it, he couldn't see the edge.
This is different from when Jiang Fan was in high school. With his current Psychic Power, he can easily cover the entire high school.
Thinking about this, he felt incredibly small, being in Fortress No. 1.
It seems he needs to improve his Psychic Power as soon as possible. During this trial in the Inner Wilderness Zone, he needs to kill as many groups of monsters as possible and use all of them to exchange for Psychic Power.
Of course, Psychic Power is also related to one's own Qi and blood. If one's Qi and blood are insufficient, the improvement of Psychic Power will be limited.
However, if you can accumulate 100,000 points, you can directly exchange them for a Psychic Fruit, which means you can ignore all other conditions.
At the main entrance, several senior third-year students were craning their necks, trying to find the person they were looking for among the sea of heads.
Why hasn't that freshman named Jiang Fan arrived yet?
The senior who said this wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had delicate features, especially her large, expressive eyes.
The male classmate standing next to her frowned slightly as he watched her eagerly anticipating the moment.
"While Jiang Fan is indeed exceptionally talented, it's not like we at Yuanwu haven't recruited genius students before. And as you know, at Yuanwu, talent isn't the most important thing; what matters is having the courage to fight demonic beasts. I'm not kidding, maybe during the freshman trial, he'll be so scared of demonic beasts that he'll burst into tears."
The senior student, named Huang Ying, was somewhat displeased upon hearing her companion's words.
How do you know he doesn't have the courage?
"Then how do you know he has the courage?" Li Zhichao retorted.
"Because he's handsome!" Huang Ying said, her mouth practically stretched to her ears, her eyes filled with infatuation.
Li Zhichao had liked Huang Ying for a long time, but no matter how he pursued her, she wouldn't give him a chance. Now, seeing her looking so lovestruck, his hands, which were at his sides, suddenly clenched tightly.
"Hmph! What good is being handsome? Can you eat it?"
Huang Ying continued laughing, "Of course! If I had such a handsome boyfriend, I could eat with him every day and my appetite would increase!"
Li Zhichao was furious!
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard someone shout.
" Jiang Fan! Brother Fan! It really is you!"
Jiang Fan?
Huang Ying, Li Zhichao, and the others looked in the direction of the sound almost simultaneously, and saw a Little Fatty dressed in patched clothes dragging a snakeskin bag, excitedly running in a certain direction.
And sure enough, they saw that face that had appeared on major news media platforms.
Jiang Fan also saw the fat man and was slightly taken aback.
How did you get here?
"I was about to ask you that too." After saying that, the fat man suddenly realized something, and an incredulous look appeared in his eyes.
"You're not going to study at Yuanwu High School, are you?"
"Hmm." Jiang Fan nodded; there was no point in hiding it.
Upon hearing this answer, the fat man gasped dramatically, his beady eyes widening to their absolute limit.
"You—you—you are a genius who became the top scholar in the martial arts examination with the strength of Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, how could you choose Yuanwu? Don't you know about Yuanwu?"
