CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 321: DON’T ASK WHAT YOU SHOULDN’T

"Awesome!"

"Teacher Lu Lin is the coolest!"

"Long live Star God Team!"

As night fell, or perhaps as night was just about to fall, the two teams completed today’s exploration work and returned to the camp.

Lu Lin, in front of everyone, assessed the harvests of the two teams.

Star God Team captured a total of one hundred and seventy-five demon beasts in one day.

The largest was an Ancient Pine Tiger, and the smallest was a group of elusive scorpion-tailed mice.

However, although they captured quite a number, compared to Star Dust Team, they came off worse.

The students of Star Dust Team were dissatisfied about being assigned to this team, despite most of them being at the Star Dust stage of cultivation.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.

Nothing would change it.

However, when Lu Lin announced a competition between the two teams, and that whoever had the most captures before nightfall would win the title of Star God Team, it was undoubtedly a huge motivation for Star Dust Team’s students.

Compared to Star God Team’s one hundred and seventy-five demon beasts, their capture numbers directly doubled.

Three hundred and fifty-five demon beasts.

If Lu Lin hadn’t personally checked it, he wouldn’t have believed such a small planned area could harbor so many demon beasts.

Apart from the regular varieties of demon beasts, Star Dust Team hunted many that Star God Team hadn’t noticed...

For example, Ghost-faced Spiders, White-call Birds, Fire-patterned Snakes and other seemingly inconspicuous demon beasts, they didn’t let a single one escape.

Because of this, they were able to capture twice as many demon beasts as Star God Team.

When Lu Lin announced the final results, the members of Star Dust Team cheered joyfully, full of excitement.

The honor earned through one’s own hard work is far better than something given freely.

They kept cheering and taunted classmates just renamed to Star Dust Team nearby.

"Look at who belongs to which team, our future is destined to be Star God strong individuals."

"Indeed, true strength is the hard truth; don’t you know the term undeserved rank?"

The new "Star God Team" members talked to themselves, while the entire neighboring team watched with gloomy faces, secretly clenching their fists.

Every word felt like a dagger piercing their hearts.

Those people indulged too much, their arrogant smiles intensified their grief and anger.

They lost.

This was undeniable.

But it was just a loss, nothing more.

All the new Star Dust Team students silently vowed in their hearts, tomorrow, they must reclaim their honor.

But they did not yet know, that the members of the "New Star God Team" had already planned before returning.

If they won, they would put on an arrogant stance to relax the vigilance of the opponents.

Now it seemed the members of the new Star Dust Team had fallen for it.

Just wait, let’s compete again tomorrow.

Lu Lin and the teachers watched the students on both sides with their competitive spirit, and felt it was indeed motivating.

That’s the spirit of the sprint class.

The competition commenced.

When Lu Lin proposed holding another gigantic bonfire evening party, unexpectedly, the team members from both teams rejected the idea.

New Star God Team’s attitude was arrogantly saying they’d already captured three hundred and fifty-five demon beasts today, they’re exhausted and needed to rest early.

While the new Star Dust Team, ashamed but braving themselves, had lost the match today and lacked the face for such an event.

After a simple dinner, both teams retreated to their tents for rest.

Though they were supposed to rest, from Lu Lin’s perception, he noticed most of the students were cultivating.

Moreover, five or six leading students secretly gathered in tents to plan for tomorrow.

One team just won, so naturally they wanted to maintain their momentum and keep winning.

One team having just lost felt unwilling, thinking tomorrow they’d overturn their opponent.

Team leaders on both sides kept discussing plans until late, resting only when hearing Lu Lin call them to rest.

Lu Lin exchanged smiles with Gao Shu and Zhou Chang, the three set out to explore the area where students would enter tomorrow.

On the way, Gao Shu and Zhou Chang suggested to Lu Lin to expand the area a bit for tomorrow.

Today, following the team, both teams of students felt unsatisfied after slaying all the demon beasts in their respective areas, wanting to venture into unexplored zones.

It took much persuasion from the two to finally hold them back.

The areas handled by the two teams today could be said to have been ravaged thoroughly.

One team even dug up underground rodent holes.

The other team missed nothing flying in the sky or digging underground.

In the exploration area Lu Lin planned for tomorrow, there’s also a not-so-narrow river.

Perhaps by then, it would also suffer the students’ onslaught.

Lu Lin agreed with their suggestions; all three were energetic, and for the night, they marked out a larger territory.

The area even included quite a few fierce meat-eating demon beasts.

The battle tomorrow would be even more thrilling but the harvests would also be plentiful.

...

At that moment.

Outside Lu Lin’s camp.

Sun Xiaorui, finished with her work, instructed her junior brothers to prepare several months’ worth of food and put it into her Storage Ring.

Just as she was about to leave the Main Camp, she recalled what Lu Lin said yesterday about Star Core Period cultivation methods.

She fetched a basic cultivation method, thought for a while, and took several different Star Core Period cultivation methods as well.

This could be considered the most comprehensive cultivation content accessible in the Wild Blade Clan, apart from what’s personally transmitted by the Sect Leader.

It should be enough to meet Lu Lin and their world’s cultivation needs, she thought.

Sun Xiaorui didn’t know why she was doing this.

But when you have the thought, just do it once.

After all, these Cultivation Methods regarded as treasures within the Wild Blade Clan were relatively mediocre in the whole Xi Chu Empire.

In the future, if there’s an opportunity, she would collect some higher-grade Cultivation Methods for Lu Lin.

Sun Xiaorui flashed and appeared on the outskirts of Lu Lin’s camp.

But.

After probing around here, she didn’t see Lu Lin’s figure.

Strange, where did he run off to this late at night?

The teachers naturally couldn’t detect her presence, so Sun Xiaorui curiously listened to their conversation. After a long time, she learned of Lu Lin’s whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lin not only has good strength but also such a smart brain.

He went out early to explore the area the students are responsible for, eliminating many unnecessary dangers and simultaneously giving the students enough pressure.

Sun Xiaorui believed that under such measures, the students would definitely achieve considerable growth.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard the teaching assistants talking about Lu Lin’s team division.

This surprised Sun Xiaorui even more.

Just by simply dividing a team, it made the students of the two teams work so hard.

Such a simple method, why had she never thought of it before?

And then there’s that Hero Ranking.

Although no names have been written on the Hero Ranking yet, Sun Xiaorui believes that as soon as Lu Lin starts writing, it will definitely drive countless students crazy.

Back then, when she was an outer sect disciple, she participated in the Sect’s big competition.

But at that time, Sun Xiaorui’s strength was inadequate, and she could only watch with envy as those masters unleashed their Knife Aura on the arena.

Now, even though her strength has improved.

After becoming one of the top fighters among the sect’s disciples, Sun Xiaorui is no longer very interested in rankings.

Although not very interested, she cannot deny the motivational effect of the rankings on a student.

Sun Xiaorui couldn’t help but want to open up Lu Lin’s brain and study it carefully.

How can it be that, being the same human, having seen the same experiences, Lu Lin has so many ideas and methods?

It seems that if she has the chance in the future, she should let Lu Lin serve once as the true General Manager Adviser of the Wind Chasing Army.

Leaving the camp, Sun Xiaorui flew in the air looking for Lu Lin’s whereabouts.

In the distance, a Star Power Fluctuation came, and Sun Xiaorui quickly teleported over.

Just as she appeared, she saw Lu Lin crushing the throat of an Ancient Pine Tiger with his hand.

If Sun Xiaorui wasn’t mistaken, that Ancient Pine Tiger already had the cultivation of the second level of Star Core Period.

This is a bit terrifying.

"Who’s there!"

After killing the Ancient Pine Tiger, Lu Lin suddenly sensed the anomaly brought by Sun Xiaorui’s teleportation and turned around to shout loudly.

"Is someone there?"

Gao Shu and Zhou Chang also gripped their battle knives tightly, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

Their cultivation was indeed much higher than Lu Lin’s, but in terms of perception, they were far behind.

"Junior Brother Lu, it’s me."

Sun Xiaorui said and walked out of the darkness.

Seeing the familiar face armor and her high ponytail, Lu Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Sister Sun, why are you here?"

Lu Lin casually inquired.

"I have something to discuss with you."

"You two stay here and don’t move. I’ll be back after a few words with Lu Lin."

"Understood, Senior Sister Sun."

Gao Shu and Zhou Chang exchanged a glance and answered repeatedly.

Once Lu Lin and Sun Xiaorui left, the two finally relaxed.

It seems the rumors are true; Senior Sister Sun indeed has a high regard for Lu Lin.

But, why?

"Here."

Out of Gao Shu and Zhou Chang’s line of sight, Sun Xiaorui handed the Storage Ring she had to Lu Lin.

Facing Lu Lin’s puzzled eyes, Sun Xiaorui spoke before he could ask, "This is enough food, meat, and vegetables for a thousand people to eat for two years."

"Oh."

Lu Lin solemnly received it with both hands, slightly surprised at Sun Xiaorui’s efficiency.

Yesterday, Lu Lin told Sun Xiaorui that his clan members inside the Soul Sealing Space Crystal still had food, enough to last at least two more months.

Unexpectedly, just after saying it yesterday, today Sun Xiaorui had the food ready.

"I also prepared four books of cultivation methods for the Star Core Period; you can test them with your clan members when you return."

Sun Xiaorui spoke while the Star Power within her was constantly operating.

Since Lu Lin’s first session nearby boosted her cultivation, Sun Xiaorui had been cultivating continuously, even when she wasn’t near Lu Lin. Yet, compared to being around him, her own pace felt slower than that of a tortoise.

For example.

Training beside Lu Lin, Sun Xiaorui felt like a peerless genius, able to comprehend a dozen Star Skills by herself, in a premium Star Power Gathering Array, with at least a million Star Crystals surrounding her, burning Soul-awakening Smoke, and consuming Mirror-breaking Pills while cultivating.

When away from Lu Lin, it felt like being alone without a teacher, without a secret book, without any cultivation resources, only able to explore her cultivation blindly.

Comparing the two scenarios, if not worlds apart, was at least a stark contrast.

Regardless of whether Lu Lin was her "Chosen One," Sun Xiaorui had the urge to bind him by her side.

Not for anything else, but merely because Lu Lin can accelerate her cultivation speed.

However, tonight Lu Lin had his own work to do, and Sun Xiaorui didn’t want to linger.

After handing over the food and secret books to Lu Lin, Sun Xiaorui made a sound of affirmation and turned to leave.

She became even more determined to have Lu Lin fulfill the duties of the "General Manager Adviser" properly.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Sun."

Lu Lin cupped his hands toward Sun Xiaorui’s departing figure before returning to Gao Shu and Zhou Chang.

"Lu Lin, what did Senior Sister Sun want with you just now?"

Gao Shu asked curiously.

Lu Lin turned his head to look at Gao Shu, "Don’t ask about what you shouldn’t know, beware of losing your life."

Gao Shu was stunned, thoughts swirling in his mind.

Could Lu Lin possibly have some unspeakable relationship with Senior Sister Sun...
