Zhantian City is the closest of the four academies to the Abyss, so the spaceship's first stop is Zhantian City.
As Jiang Wuyuan followed Ruan Kongyin and the others off the spaceship, they passed by the procession of Jiangnan Academy and vaguely overheard some talk about the national competition.
A nationwide competition?
He secretly made a note of this matter, thinking he could ask Ruan Kongyin about it later.
In Jiang Wuyuan's eyes, Ruan Kongyin's existence was practically equivalent to that of an intelligence agent.
Returning to familiar surroundings, Jiang Wuyuan felt a sudden lightness in his heart, and the tension stirred up by the smoke of war gradually dissipated.
After saying goodbye to the hunting party, he headed towards his dormitory.
On the way, I first let Huo Ling and Huo Qianshan know that I was safe.
Huo Qianshan quickly replied, first congratulating him on his victory, and then inquiring about his health, such as whether he was injured.
Jiang Wuyuan replied to each of them, saying that he was doing well.
As for Huo Ling, there was no movement for half a day.
Jiang Wuyuan was a little puzzled, but didn't think much of it.
Anyway, since we're all on campus, nothing should happen.
——
The words came true.
Jiang Wuyuan received Huo Ling's message at night, and heard that Huo Ling was already lying in the infirmary.
Jiang Wuyuan was shocked by this.
When he got out of bed, dressed, and rushed to the infirmary, he saw Huo Ling being held down on the hospital bed by a nurse, looking bored. The wound on his face was slowly healing, and it seemed that he had already been treated.
Seeing Jiang Wuyuan walk in from the door, Huo Ling waved excitedly, then lowered his hand somewhat guiltily: "Ice!"
Jiang Wuyuan frowned and walked over: "How did this happen?"
"Do you know that the school has a martial arts arena?" Huo Ling asked tentatively.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded: "I know, you went to the martial arts arena to compete for rankings?"
"I just wanted to give it a try, but who knew I'd run into such an unreasonable guy." Huo Ling pursed his lips speechlessly. "I had already surrendered, but he still managed to hit me in the end. I didn't have time to defend myself before I was blasted away."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyuan's expression remained unchanged; he simply asked, "What's that person's name?"
"Don't be impulsive, Ice Cube. Fighting is forbidden at school." Huo Ling was really afraid that Jiang Wuyuan would impulsively try to avenge him. "Besides, I'm just not as good as him. It's normal."
He was only a freshman, and the person opposite him was a year older than him.
The students at Zhan Tian Academy can be considered geniuses, so it's normal that they can't beat them.
Huo Ling did not feel defeated; he was well aware of his own strength.
"I was just asking." Jiang Wuyuan didn't know why Huo Ling thought he was impulsive, since Huo Ling seemed more like the one who would act impulsively.
“Okay. He’s a sophomore named Lei Zhengting, and he’s ranked in the top 500 warriors on the leaderboard.” Huo Ling curled his lips. “Don’t underestimate the top 500. There are nearly 10,000 people in our university. Although half of them are in vocational professions, it’s still impressive that he can rank in the top 500.”
Jiang Wuyuan responded and made the name a memorization.
It wasn't for revenge, I just wanted to remember that such a person existed.
"How are your injuries?" Jiang Wuyuan asked with concern, seeing that Huo Ling seemed perfectly fine.
"Oh, it's nothing, I've already been treated." Huo Ling waved his hand. "I wanted to leave, but the nurse insisted that I stay a little longer for observation."
"Then let's stay a little longer." Jiang Wuyuan agreed with the nurse and sat by his bedside to keep him company.
——
The fact that Huo Ling was sent to the infirmary did not change Jiang Wuyuan's plan.
Or rather, he never intended to avenge Huo Ling.
For these prodigies, personally crushing their former rivals is the true path to cultivation.
However, things didn't go as planned.
That day, Jiang Wuyuan arrived at the cafeteria for lunch on time.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a commotion of footsteps approaching.
Jiang Wuyuan slightly raised his head and glanced at it.
The leader carried a huge axe, and a hideous scar ran from his eyebrow down to his cheek.
After hearing the name Lei Zhengting, Jiang Wuyuan still took note of the person's information.
Furthermore, his characteristics were very distinctive, so Jiang Wuyuan remembered him immediately.
With today's medical technology, that scar is actually quite easy to heal completely.
However, it is said that Lei Zhengting really liked this scar, even calling it a man's badge of honor, and refused to allow the therapist to remove it completely.
A very unique person.
Now, watching him enter the restaurant surrounded by his entourage, Jiang Wuyuan merely glanced at him and didn't intend to do anything.
"Brother Lei, what would you like to eat?" one of his underlings asked obsequiously, rubbing his hands together.
"Give me more meat, and make me a braised pork knuckle!"
"Okay." The younger brother nodded immediately and ran to the food counter to order.
Lei Zhengting was used to being waited on by these people, so he didn't care what dishes they served him and just found an empty seat to sit down.
"Brother Lei, what are we doing this afternoon?"
Today is Tuesday. Freshmen don't have classes, but sophomores do have classes in the morning.
They had just finished class and were about to have lunch.
Lei Zhengting thought for a moment: "Let's go to the martial arts arena."
"Hehe, we'll get to see Brother Lei show off his prowess again today!" one of the underlings chimed in. "Yesterday, Brother Lei ran into a freshman, a top prospect, and beat him so badly he begged for mercy on his knees!"
"Hmph, a freshman brat." Lei Zhengting, emboldened by the flattery, scoffed, "What seed player? He's just a little kid who's barely weaned. This year's freshmen are nothing special."
