Chapter 525: 525 Flash Sale! College Entrance Exam Results Release [1 Update]

This was a man who seemed extremely young, yet he was cloaked entirely in black, not even a single strand of hair exposed, making it impossible to discern his true age.

He stood there like an imposing mountain, insurmountable.

Yeh Xingli froze on the spot, dumbfounded as he gazed at the man’s attire, an unbelievable thought cropping up in his mind.

Could it be... this man is the legendary Jidao Sect Leader?!

Some say the Jidao Sect Leader wears black and only moves at night; he could very well be an owl transformed.

"Who are you?" The expressions of the men in black turned grave; evidently, they sensed a certain danger from Yan Tingfeng’s presence.

Yan Tingfeng didn’t answer, tilting his head slightly, "Are you taking him with you?"

"Yes," the leading man in black cautiously replied, "This matter doesn’t concern you, and we do not wish to be on bad terms with you."

Yan Tingfeng smiled, "Of course you wouldn’t want to be on bad terms with me."

Hearing his words, the men in black all let out a sigh of relief.

With that said...

Yan Tingfeng said coldly, "Because you’re not qualified."

At the drop of those words, Yan Tingfeng moved.

He was incredibly fast, only leaving a trail of afterimages in the darkness.

And when he stopped again, all six men in black lay on the ground, incapacitated.

"All cleaned up," Yan Tingfeng looked down, carelessly wiping a drop of blood from his fingertip, "Also, send him home."

"Why do we have to send him home?" Right Protector muttered, "The kid could use some toughening up, hey, boss—"

Before he could finish, Yan Tingfeng had already vanished.

Yeh Xingli, clutching his laser gun, stood frozen, his mind reeling from the shock.

What in the world...

Until someone clapped their hands in front of him and said, "Hey hey hey, snap out of it."

Another voice chimed in, "You’re an S-class researcher at the International Strategic Studies Institute, aren’t you? How can you be so faint-hearted?"

"It must be the boss’s handsomeness that got to him; I understand that feeling," the first speaker added, "when I first saw the boss, my heart was thumping too."

When Yeh Xingli saw two black smiling masks appear before him, he jerked awake, almost letting out a scream, "You, you..."

"Where is your home?" Right Protector asked him, "You’re lucky to have encountered our boss today. When our boss steps in, even King Yama makes way."

Yeh Xingli shakily gave an address, "At, at..."

At that moment, he confirmed the identity of the man he’d encountered earlier.

It was indeed the Jidao Sect Leader!

Although the Jidao Sect Leader was elusive, the images of the Extreme Path Organization’s Left and Right Guardians were deeply etched in people’s hearts.

But how come the Jidao Sect Leader seemed so suave and imposing, while these two subordinates appeared to have... a screw loose?

Twenty minutes later, Yeh Xingli collapsed onto his large sofa, as if he had died once already.

His phone continued to "beep beep beep".

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Where’s the Scientist? Why so quiet, didn’t fall asleep for an entire day like YN sis, did you, pig?

[Crazy Scientist]: Stop mocking, bro, I almost died!

[Cultured Person]: Did Heaven-reaching Tower also cook up a car accident for you?

[Crazy Scientist]: Although the gate security intercepted some messages for me, secrets eventually get out; news about Atlantis leaked, someone came to kill me.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: You still have time to chat in the group; that proves you’re in quite good shape right now.

[Crazy Scientist]: I just said I almost died! If it weren’t for someone rescuing me, you guys would be reading about my gruesome death in tomorrow’s news report!

[Deadly Poison Master]: Who rescued you?

[Crazy Scientist]: The Jidao Sect Leader.

With these four characters revealed, the entire group fell silent.

[YN]: The Jidao Sect Leader?

[Crazy Scientist]: I met the Left and Right Guardians of the Extreme Path Organization, so that man has to be the Jidao Sect Leader; he’s not some high-level AI, he’s human!

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Really? What if someone was impersonating him? Why would the Jidao Sect Leader bother saving you?

[Crazy Scientist]: You’re asking me? Who should I ask? I’m not him, how would I know!

This was precisely what Yeh Xingli couldn’t figure out.

The International Strategic Studies Institute had indeed had dealings with the Extreme Path, and the latter had acquired several batches of equipment from their unit.

But as a member of the R&D department, he had never had direct contact with the Extreme Path.

How could the elusive Jidao Sect Leader of the Extreme Path have appeared so timely and rescued him?

Forget it, no point dwelling on it.

Yeh Xingli tilted his head and fell asleep.

The next morning, Ye Wanlan once again went to Shenzhou University and met with Lin Wenli.

"Sister, you can go back to Shenzhou with peace of mind," Lin Wenli said, "You still have a lot to do, and I’ve already come of age, so I can stay at Shenzhou University by myself."

"Yeah, and I’m still here, aren’t I?" Ling Yunzhan said with a smile, "Sister Ye can go with confidence, and as for Brother Lin, I’ll take care of him."

Ye Wanlan glanced at him lightly, "As long as you don’t let him get involved with Divinity Studies, I’ll be quite content."

Divinity Studies was not vague and elusive, but compared to other disciplines, it was much more profound and inscrutable, beyond the grasp of the average person.

The Divinity School at Shenzhou University had fewer than fifty students from undergraduate to graduate levels combined.

Moreover, sometimes too much involvement in Divinity Studies could lead to a mind alien to ordinary people.

Ling Yunzhan was a prime example.

Lin Wenli only started to gradually come in contact with the real world last year, and Ye Wanlan was afraid that too much information at once might cause his brain to overload.

"Don’t worry, if I really let him study Divinity Studies, the professors from the Space Technology Institute would have an issue with me," Ling Yunzhan said, "If anything really happened, you’d definitely cut me down first."

"Good to know," Ye Wanlan nodded to Lin Wenli, "Remember to video call uncle and auntie every day."

Watching the girl’s departing back, Lin Wenli hesitated for a moment before asking, "Has Dean Ling known my cousin for a long time?"

"Yes, your cousin—" Ling Yunzhan paused briefly and then smiled, "She is indeed a very impressive person. That’s why we were all so shocked when we met her in reality."

"Shocked?"

"We didn’t expect her to be so young. We first met seven years ago on the social platform Zeroing Community," Ling Yunzhan continued with a smile, "The community was suddenly shut down, and countless accounts were to be archived, so we created a chat group."

Lin Wenli listened quietly, etching the words "Zeroing Community" into his memory.

"She has extremely powerful computer skills, and we’ve depended on her to escape some deadly events, so we trust her from the bottom of our hearts," Ling Yunzhan went on to say, "It’s not a secret from you that at one point, several of us in the group thought your cousin was a high-level AI capable of manipulating networks at will."

Lin Wenli thought to himself, his cousin’s determination and abilities indeed far exceeded those of ordinary people.

"By the way, the summer session at Shenzhou University starts on July 10th, lasting forty days until August 20th," Ling Yunzhan said evenly, "These next few days, I will show you around Shenzhou University, so you can get familiar with the campus."

Lin Wenli’s expression fractured for a moment, and he spoke after a silence, "Can a few days’ time really be enough to see the entire Shenzhou University?"

"No, it can’t," Ling Yunzhan said frankly, "To be honest, some people have studied here for nine years and there are still places in the school they haven’t been to."

"...Nine years?"

"If the GPA doesn’t meet the graduation requirement or one doesn’t pass the thesis defense, they must stay another year, that’s all after staying for five years."

This nonchalant "that’s all" made Lin Wenli’s heart race with apprehension.

"Don’t worry, if it’s only an academic issue, Shenzhou University won’t dismiss you, as long as you can pay tuition, you can keep repeating," Ling Yunzhan said with a standard smile, "It’s just that the more years you stay, the more expensive the tuition becomes."

Lin Wenli: "..."

That made him even more worried!

**

Shenzhou, Yunjing.

This was also the first time Lin Wenli had been so far from Lin Huaijin and Khor Peiqing for such a long period, and the couple both found it difficult to part.

Khor Peiqing’s eyes were red, having already cried several rounds.

"Sigh, the kids have grown up, it’s time for them to grow on their own," Lin Huaijin consoled Khor Peiqing, "Besides, Yunjing has direct flights to the Global Center, so whenever we miss Wenli, we can fly over to see him."

Khor Peiqing, wiping her tears, said, "I don’t know if the food at Shenzhou University will suit Wenli’s taste. He loves your braised pork ribs and the spare rib lotus root soup I make the most."

"The chefs there definitely can’t match your cooking skills, Peiqing," Lin Huaijin stated confidently, "But Ah Lan said Shenzhou University has hired chefs from various cuisines, so Wenli should be able to find something he likes to eat."

Khor Peiqing grabbed a third pack of tissues.

"Peiqing, ah... That’s right!" Lin Huaijin suddenly smacked his forehead, "The high school exam results are coming out in two days, look at my memory, I almost forgot such an important event."

Every year, the combined high school examination results in Shenzhou are released on June 27th, and this year was no exception.

The followers of Ye Wanlan naturally also awaited this day.

[Really curious to see how many points Ye Wanlan can score. If it’s only 300 or so, that would be a big loss!]
