As they were eating, loud rattling roars of the engines, coupled with sounds generated by the friction between the huge tires and road surface, were transmitted in the direction of the campsite’s entrance late at night.
The initial tranquillity of the campsite was instantaneously disturbed. Many students who were practising came out of their tents.
In just a few minutes, the campsite was so crowded and vivid as though it had transformed into a school which just released its students.
There were more than ten troop lift trucks coming from afar. Lu Shu suddenly realized that these Dao Yuan Cla.s.s students from other provinces had finally arrived.
There was no clue whether w.a.n.g Haoli and the rest had reached Xijing City. It was fairly interesting to recall this friend befriended during a brief journey.
Then, at this moment, Lu Shu suddenly received a text message.
w.a.n.g Haoli: I’ve reached the hotel. The tour group will be heading to the next destination tomorrow. Wis.h.i.+ng you the best ~
Lu Shu took a glance at the message but did not reply as he put the domestically produced divine-like phone back to his pocket.
He meticulously observed the Dao Yuan Cla.s.s students who had just alighted, and they still looked the same. Yuzhou was still leading the nation for making out of the remains. Qingzhou and most other provinces held similar standards.
Speaking of which, Lu Shu suddenly thought of the words Jiang Shuyi used to describe Cao Qingci. If Yuzhou had a mightier overall strength than other provinces, that would mean that Cao Qingci belonged to the strongest batch amongst the talents.
It was unsure when she could break through Cla.s.s C. Once Cla.s.s C was attained, perhaps entering the inner chamber was certain.
At this point, there was an oncoming boy who looked stern. There were a lot of schoolmates involuntarily sticking around his side. Lu Shu gave him a glance. The waves of magical energy from his body has attained Cla.s.s D. He was no doubt a Cla.s.s A highly able talent a.s.suming that he had not attained honors.
In truth, Cla.s.s A highly able students were often revolved by others no matter where they were except for Cao Qingci, an uninfluenced contender.
There was another girl who had similar features as this student. Both talents looked incomparably outstanding.
Chen Zuan beamed by the side as he looked at the two of them, “The two of you perhaps have attained Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude for abilities?”
Gao Shenyin laughed coldly, “It’s better to not be terrified and p.i.s.s your pants upon entering the remains. Apt.i.tude for abilities does not represent anything.”
“Sour,” Chen Zuan fanned the air that was in front of his nose, “So sour!”
Just as Gao Shenyin was about to break out, Chen Zuan suddenly changed the conversational topic, “Teacher, have you heard of the talent from Yuzhou. Her name is Cao Qingci.”
Upon hearing this name, Gao Shenyin appeared dignified, “I’ve heard that she made a killing in the remains.”
“Do you know what I’m most worried of?” Chen Zuan baffled a sentence.
“What?”
“I’m most afraid that other clans may have a similar talent. By then, our parents will just compare us with ‘kids from other clans’ and start to nag…” Chen Zuan commented as he looked profoundly melancholy.
“Good-for-nothing,” Gao Shenyin sad coldly, “If one is really afraid that the pace of practice is slow, just go to the black market and collect some magical stones.”
“It’s easy to say. I’m not the only pract.i.tioner in my clan. I can’t have all the resources used for practice!”
“I’m sorry,” Gao Shenyin gave a gleaming white smile with his mouth wide-opened, “I’m the only sole pract.i.tioner in my clan.”
Chen Zuan settled down for a while before getting angry, “Come on, let’s degrade each other!”
Lu Shu felt a tinge of regret at the side. If only he had interfered, there would be no distress tonight. It was a pity…
He seemed regretful as he looked at the Dao Yuan Cla.s.s students who were alighting from the trucks, “Why do I feel that they don’t seem wealthy at all. Not many of them wear a watch.”
Chen Zuan heard Lu She’s words and felt curious, “Brother Lu Shu, what does this statement mean?”
“Well…” Lu Shu pondered for a while, “Perhaps you will understand once you enter the remains…”
Jiang Shuyi appeared oddly.
Unsure of why, upon hearing Lu Shu’s words, Jiang Shuyi’s conscious was hoping that Lu Shu would not make his business too widely know without thinking whether Lu Shu has the capability of running this business.
To be frank, Lu Shu felt that Chen Zuan was relatively interesting. Although this fellow seemed scheming, his personality wasn’t very complicated.
Additionally, an odd ambiance was surfacing as the few of them gradually desired to form a small team. Of which Chen Zuan’s shameless interaction significantly contributed to it…
Lu Shu wouldn’t agree if it was said that Chen Zuan did not have an intention.
It was still rather conspicuous when the few of them sat at the side of the dining table. The rest of the students would uncontrollably glance towards their direction. The ones who attracted the most attention within the group of them were Jiang Shuyi and Lu Xiaoyu.
Lu Shu glanced at the group of boisterous students as they were being allocated to their individual tents by their respective cla.s.s form teachers. He felt a good sense of freedom as there wasn’t any cla.s.s form teacher to supervise him while he was here.
As compared to the relaxing environment Lu Shu and the rest were in, the majority of the Dao Yuan Cla.s.s students appeared dignified. This was because what was considered an opportunity for Lu Shu was a danger to the students.
Lu Shu instantaneously felt a huge sense of astonishment.
At this moment, Chen Zuan’s phone rang. He composedly lowered his head to take a glance.
The first message pertained to information provided by the clans. As the clans were previously collecting information on Cla.s.s A highly able evildoers, they ended up in a situation where they were clueless about Jiang Shuyi, Gao Shenyin, and Lu Shu.
Chen Zuan was shocked as he continued reading. Gao Shenyin’s opportunities to acquire honors were not intentional. Residing at the borders, he would occasionally come across drug dealers from other territories. Once, the drug dealers held up a gun, Gao Shenyin managed to kill 4 of them. He even arrested one of the awakened people alive.
No wonder there was an air of arrogance as he was a disciple who had killed someone.
The source had stated that Jiang Shuyi wasn’t weak either. She had killed more than 6 skeleton cavalries in the remains.
Chen Zuan initially thought that the two of them were the most outstanding students this time around. He gasped when he saw Lu Shu’s particulars… He was mired in disbelief by the details before raising his head to glance at Lu Shu once again…
Formulated the long-range awakened person strength related attacking mode, one which was currently being promoted experimentally by the internal department of the Heavenly Network.
Individually destroyed a whole team of skeleton cavalries.
The number of skeleton cavalries being killed was approximately 17…
Resale of magical weapons in the remains to grant several people the opportunity to exchange military honors.
Lastly, the text message had an attachment, a photo which had been taken when Lu Shu was coming out of the remains. He had big gold chains and small watches all over, with a bundle of spears on his shoulders as he displayed an awe-inspiring body of gumption and frivolousness…
Chen Zuan only understood now that Lu Shu was truly the real big shot! Ignoring both his apt.i.tude for abilities and outlook, he was currently the big shot!
He recalled the words Lu Shu said to him.
“Why do I feel that they don’t seem wealthy at all. Not many of them wear a watch.”
“Brother Lu Shu, what does this statement mean?”
“Perhaps you will understand once you enter the remains…”
Chen Zuan suddenly raised his wrist and smiled at Lu Shu, “Brother Lu Shu, this Bulgari of mine costs eighty-grand… This piece was brought out for fun. I don’t usually bring those watches which are too luxurious out. I’ve better ones at home…”
Gao Shenyin appeared appalled by Chen Zuan’s sudden act in flaunting his wealth, “Idiot! What’s there to flaunt with an eighty-grand watch!”
“You know nothing,” Chen Zuan currently felt a sense of accomplishment as though he was the only sober one amongst a world of drunkards.
