This is Outrageous!

Early in the morning, before the sky had even brightened, Lin Mo was jolted awake by the chaotic noise outside his door.

"Who the hell is that, this early? Don't they let people sleep?"

Lin Mo grumbled as he crawled out of bed, pulled on his shorts, and opened the door to see what was going on.

Outside, a crowd of people was bustling.

A large group of boys and girls in school uniforms stood neatly arranged outside, their expressions varied.

Some looked expectant, some disgusted, and some... groggy and half-asleep, nodding off repeatedly.

All around, the neighbors had gathered, pointing and whispering about these people.

"What's going on here?"

"No idea, who are all these people?"

"That... should be the uniform of Jiangcheng No. 2 High School, right?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's No. 2. Little Mo's kid wears that uniform."

"Whoa, aren't those teachers in the front? With so many teachers and students, what are they here for? A slum tour?"

"Our slum is full of poor families, what's there to tour? Besides, have you ever seen anyone sightseeing with a gong and drum team?"

"Look, that old man at the front is grinning so sleazily, who is he?"

"Judging by the setup, that old man couldn't be the principal of No. 2 High School, could he?"

"..."

For a moment, the residents of this area were all commenting on these people.

"Creak~"

A faint sound of a door opening came, and the crowd outside instantly fell silent, all turning to look.

They saw Lin Mo, wearing nothing but his shorts, open the door with a displeased expression.

"What the hell?"

When Lin Mo saw the scene outside and recognized the people, he blurted out a curse.

"Haha, Lin—"

The old man at the front saw Lin Mo and started laughing as he prepared to greet him.

"Bam!"

But what greeted him was Lin Mo decisively slamming the door shut.

"Damn it, what's going on!"

Lin Mo, completely baffled, quickly threw on his clothes and pants.

Then he opened the door again.

"Principal, what is this..."

"Ahem, haha, good morning, Lin Mo!"

The principal, Yang Ziqing, who had just been awkwardly frozen, coughed twice and put on a smile again.

After greeting him, he waved his hand grandly.

Immediately, gongs and drums thundered, and a large banner was quickly unfurled.

[Seeing Off the Light of No. 2 High School—Lin Mo, as He Departs for the Martial Alliance Elite Camp.]

"..." Seeing this banner, Lin Mo was speechless.

But it wasn't over yet!

Immediately after, another banner was raised.

[Wishing Lin Mo a Smooth Journey and a Victorious Return!]

"Are all these people here to see Lin Mo off?"

"The Light of No. 2 High School? Could Lin Mo be..."

"What is the Martial Alliance Elite Camp?"

"I don't know, I've only heard of the Martial Alliance. Anything connected to the Martial Alliance must be pretty strong, right?"

"Definitely. I've always seen Little Mo's kid working hard; looks like he's finally made it."

"Yeah, the Martial Alliance Elite Camp—just the name sounds like a formidable place, or why else would they send him off with such a big show?"

"That must be it. Didn't you hear Lin Mo call that old man the principal? The principal came to see him off in person; Lin Mo has definitely made it."

"..."

While Lin Mo stood there speechless, the neighbors around him were all beaming with joy.

In this area, anyone who knew Lin Mo liked him.

Hardworking, humble in demeanor, and good-looking—who wouldn't like that?

Moreover, this was the shed district, a gathering place for impoverished households.

Lin Mo making it big was like bringing glory to the entire shed district.

Naturally, everyone was happy for him and felt honored by association.

Hadn't they noticed the swarm of reporters outside? Cameras were clicking nonstop.

"Lin Mo, this is our school's reward for your outstanding performance—five million!"

At that moment, the principal walked up, holding an oversized check, and said with a beaming smile.

If you think this book is good, to avoid losing it next time, remember to add it to your bookshelf.

At the same time, he kept gesturing and posing for the nearby reporters.

"Oh, thank you, Principal."

Lin Mo responded mechanically, a helpless look on his face.

But inside, he was cursing up a storm.

Principal, weren't you supposed to have the homeroom teacher deliver the check?

Why is the whole show already set up?

Do we have to be this flashy?

Meanwhile, Yang Ziqing was feeling immensely satisfied.

If Lin Mo hadn't been selected for the Martial Alliance Elite Camp, his information would have been kept confidential.

Then, aside from secretly gloating to himself, he would have had no way to show off so openly.

But now that Lin Mo was in the Elite Camp, that restriction was gone.

The Martial Alliance Elite Camp had Grandmaster Realm experts stationed there. No matter how crazy or reckless the Heretics were, they wouldn't dare barge in.

By the time Lin Mo graduated, he'd already be a Seventh-grade powerhouse with the ability to protect himself. Why would he still fear those Heretics?

That was why Yang Ziqing personally came to deliver the check and put on this whole spectacle.

As for the students he brought along, they were the ones from Jiangcheng No. 2 High School selected for the Martial Arts Training Class.

At that moment, they looked at Lin Mo, their minds swirling with countless thoughts.

Most of them didn't know Lin Mo—after all, for the past three years, he had been an unknown figure.

Of course, there were also classmates who did know him.

For example, Wang Shouquan and Lin Ya'er.

Their expressions were especially vivid.

Wang Shouquan was naturally full of resentment, but after Lin Mo's "trust-busting" lesson last time, he had been thoroughly beaten into submission.

Coupled with his parents' warnings, he no longer had any desire for revenge.

To be honest, he had still been quite unwilling to accept it.

But last night, after being notified by the principal that all members of the Martial Arts Training Class had to come this morning to see Lin Mo off.

He once again understood just how strong Lin Mo was, and all his temper vanished.

This freak—in just one day of not seeing him, he was already stronger than his own parents.

He had even become an Awakened.

Heaven must be blind!

As for Lin Ya'er, her heart was a tangle of mixed emotions.

At school, she was exceptionally talented and thought highly of herself.

She had never looked at anyone else with any real regard.

Though she had felt a little differently about Lin Mo, it was only because he was quite handsome.

Plus, he usually didn't talk much and spent almost all his time in hard training.

That was what made her change her view of him, treating him differently from others.

But she had never thought Lin Mo could surpass her.

Especially after the recent tests, seeing Lin Mo's Blood Qi Value that made it hopeless for him to get into a Martial University, she had already classified him as someone she would never interact with again.

After all, once you step into the martial world, it's as deep as the sea—the two of them would soon be living in completely different worlds.

Lin Mo would never catch up to her, no matter how hard he tried.

But who would have thought the tables would turn?

In just a few days, Lin Mo had leaped to become the pride of No. 2 High School.

He had even been selected as one of Southern Province's representatives for the Martial Alliance Elite Camp.

Others might not know what the Martial Alliance Elite Camp represented, but Lin Ya'er's family background was no ordinary one, so she naturally understood.

Everyone who entered there was an Awakened.

After graduation, they were absolutely guaranteed to step into the Seventh-grade and above.

In fact, those in the know understood that the Martial Alliance Elite Camp had another name, known among martial artists as the Grandmaster Reserve Camp!

When Lin Ya'er learned that Lin Mo had obtained this spot, she was utterly shocked.

She couldn't sleep a wink all night.

Looking at Lin Mo in the distance, his shoulder clasped by the principal as they posed for endless photos, Lin Ya'er's gaze was incredibly complex.

Now, they truly belonged to different worlds.

Except this time, it was her who couldn't catch up to Lin Mo.

Then, at the principal's signal, the students from the Martial Arts Training Class stepped forward one after another to offer their congratulations.

At this moment, whether they knew Lin Mo or not, every single one of them wore a face full of respect, acting familiar with envious ease.

No kidding—who wouldn't want to befriend a genius like this?

This was someone destined to step into the ranks of a Great Martial Artist, a future powerhouse who could even become a Grandmaster.

Only Lin Mo, at this moment, was screaming helplessly inside: "What the hell, this is just way too ridiculous!"
