People in the military admired Luo Lingxing because they had personally experienced the benefits of those miraculous martial arts techniques. Ordinary people liked Luo Lingxing because of his two promotions and contributions to the military. However, the military academy students were different. They had not witnessed the power of those martial arts techniques, nor had they personally experienced Luo Lingxing’s contributions to the military. Unlike the general public, they did not blindly worship him. Therefore, they looked down on Luo Lingxing, thinking he was a celebrity who was just trying to attract attention and that he was only promoted to a higher rank because of Major General Han. They believed that his so-called contributions to the military were just a pretext to deceive the public.
Furthermore, he became a transfer student without lifting a finger, which made the students who worked hard to get in feel quite inadequate.
Therefore, with this understanding, their impression of Luo Lingxing naturally worsened.
However, Luo Lingxing was unaware of all this. His reason for coming here was simple. He hoped to learn more about mecha. Although Han Junzhan could also guide him, aside from the fact that Han Junzhan was very busy, Han Junzhan’s level was too high, and he could not systematically teach the basic knowledge. Although Luo Lingxing’s starting point was also very high under such circumstances, a weak foundation would easily lead to collapse. Therefore, Luo Lingxing decided to come here to learn the basics in a down-to-earth manner.
For someone who grew up in a cultivation world, seeing mecha was always novel and intriguing. This kind of thing that could generate enormous destructive power without spiritual energy made him feel a little restless.
On Luo Lingxing’s first day at the military academy, Han Junzhan personally escorted him over and handed him over to the dean.
“I’ll have to trouble the dean to take good care of me in the future,” Han Junzhan said to the person with unusual gentleness.
“Not at all,” the dean said with a grin.
The dean of the military academy was a kind old man who always had a smiling and benevolent look on his face. However, Han Junzhan, a graduate of the military academy, knew that the dean’s appearance was only superficial. Once you offended him or did anything to offend him, his kind appearance would be replaced by a stern one. That contrast was what the students feared most.
However, apart from that, the dean was a very good person, at least he was very good to the students in the college, and everyone respects him, including Han Junzhan.
Han Junzhan gave a few more instructions out of concern, and then Luo Lingxing sent him off to the military headquarters, while he followed behind the dean.
The Military Academy campus existed independently of Imperial University. Although it was not as large as the main campus, it was still very spacious compared to other academies. After all, the majors in the Military Academy are all related to the military, and they needed to conduct certain training every day, especially the mecha major, which requires even more training grounds.
The dean handed Luo Lingxing over to a teacher from the Mecha Academy, saying, “From now on, this will be your student. Take good care of him.”
“Yes,” Sun Guning replied indifferently, without even glancing at Luo Lingxing.
Luo Lingxing could clearly sense that the teacher disliked him. Although he didn’t know why, he didn’t care. He came here to learn, not to be liked.
Luo Lingxing silently followed behind Sun Guning, and together they arrived at the class for the mecha major.
The mecha major was divided into two classes: an elite class and a regular class. The two classes together had only about a hundred students. Compared with other majors, the number of students in the mecha major iswaspitifully small. However, precisely because of this, every student who could get in was one in a hundred. But even among these one in a hundred, there were differences.
The students in the elite class were basically at or above grade A in terms of physical fitness, while those in the regular class were at grade B, just barely meeting the qualification line for mecha. Luo Lingxing was currently assigned to the regular class.
However, Luo Lingxing didn’t care much about it.
“Everyone, please be quiet and introduce yourselves.” Sun Guning said the first part to the students below, and the second part to Luo Lingxing.
The students in Mecha Class 2 already knew that a transfer student would be joining their class, and they knew who this person was. Some even went online to search for information about Luo Lingxing in order to learn more about him. However, when they actually saw Luo Lingxing in person, they couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
It had nothing to do with anything else, but purely because of Luo Lingxing’s personal appearance and temperament. That kind of exquisite beauty, otherworldly and refined, was something that the camera could not express. Only by actually seeing him in person can one truly understand what those ancient idioms of praise really mean.
However, everyone quickly recovered from their daze, blushed, and secretly berated themselves.
So what if they were a little better looking and have a better demeanor? They were going to be soldiers in the future. Soldiers didn’t care about their appearance. Weren’t soldiers all rough men? How could they be soldiers if they had such pretty-boy looks?
However, despite this, everyone still couldn’t help but look at Luo Lingxing’s face, then secretly despise themselves after realizing it, and then couldn’t help but…
However, Luo Lingxing didn’t care about any of this, and his self-introduction was very brief: “Hello everyone, I am Luo Lingxing.”
Military cadets: …
That was all? The end?
Luo Lingxing’s mood wasn’t too good at the moment. Although he had a mild temper, it didn’t mean that he would repay evil with kindness when others showed him malice. After all, if you repaid evil with kindness, then how would you repay kindness?
Although the students didn’t say anything, he could still feel their disdain and contempt. He didn’t know why, but since everyone had this attitude, he naturally didn’t need to waste too much energy on them.
“Find a seat yourself,” Sun Guning said.
Luo Lingxing chose a seat where no one was around and sat down. Then he focused on the podium and listened to the teacher’s lecture, ignoring the curious or puzzled looks from those around him.
After class, Luo Lingxing quietly reviewed the knowledge he had learned in class. Then he noticed that the light around him had suddenly dimmed. When he looked up, he saw several classmates surrounding him. However, judging from their eyes and the aura they exuded, they clearly did not want to have a good chat with him, their new classmate.
“What is it?” Luo Lingxing asked calmly.
“I heard you’ve been promoted to lieutenant, so you must be quite skilled. That’s why I’d like to challenge you to a duel.”
A tall boy said with a roguish smile.
“Not interested,” Luo Lingxing replied indifferently, then continued tidying up his things.
The boys who had gathered around were clearly taken aback by Luo Lingxing’s refusal. They were stunned for a moment, then reacted and said resentfully, “As a soldier, how can you be so spineless as to refuse someone’s challenge?” “It’s an unimportant challenge. Accepting it would be a waste of my energy,” Luo Lingxing offered a rare explanation, which nearly made the boys vomit blood with anger.
A trivial challenge? Was he looking down on them? They hadn’t even looked down on this transfer student yet, and now the transfer student dared to look down on them?
Okay, very good! They absolutely must teach this arrogant transfer student a lesson, to show him where he can come and where he absolutely cannot!
“Are you afraid of losing?” “That’s right. If they can get in through connections, they must not have any real ability. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they take the entrance exam fairly?” The speaker took a deep breath, trying to calm his fluctuating emotions, and deliberately provoked Luo Lingxing.
However, the provocation tactic didn’t work on Luo Lingxing, who didn’t even bother to respond this time.
What does it feel like to punch cotton? This is exactly what it felt like right now.
“So this dignified lieutenant is actually a coward, too afraid to even accept a challenge from a student who hasn’t even graduated yet. If word gets out, won’t people laugh their heads off?” another sarcastic voice came.
Luo Lingxing stopped tidying up and looked up at the few boys in front of him who were still quite young. That one glance sent a chill down their spines, and they were even a little afraid to meet his eyes.
“If I accept and win, will you stop harassing me?” Luo Lingxing said coldly.
Actually, he initially planned to get along well with his classmates, since he would be in the same class for the next few years if nothing unexpected happened. However, after transferring schools, neither the teachers nor the classmates seemed to be very friendly to him. At first, he didn’t take it seriously, but gradually he realized that it was probably because he had transferred schools and joined the class.
Since that was the case, he just planned to live out these next few years peacefully. He didn’t really need to get along with these kids who, in his opinion, hadn’t even grown their hair yet. His requirements were quite low. As long as people didn’t bother me, he wouldn’t bother them. However, there were still some people who couldn’t even do that.
There were always people who are blind to his nature and try to provoke him. He didn’t accept their taunts, and they kept chattering on and on, which made him a little impatient.
If force could solve this problem, he wouldn’t mind teaching these people a lesson.
“Of course, but don’t talk big too soon. You’ll have nowhere to cry when you get slapped in the face,” the person who started the provocation said with a wicked smile.
As for Luo Lingxing, although they didn’t say they knew him very well, they still knew his basic information. They knew that his physique used to be at Grade C, and although they didn’t know how he improved it by one level, it was certain that he had never been in contact with mechas. After all, his previous career had always been in the entertainment industry, and he had no opportunity or time to be in contact with mechas. In addition, his physique did not allow it.
These students in the mecha class have been exposed to mecha since childhood. Although there was a difference in their levels, they were still much better than ordinary people. Under such circumstances, how could Luo Lingxing possibly have a chance to win the challenge?
Luo Lingxing ignored their “well-intentioned advice” and asked directly, “What are we competing in?”
“Since we’re students in the mecha class, we’ll naturally compete in mechas. Since you were able to get in without passing the transfer exam, your mecha skills must be incredibly impressive. I’m really looking forward to it,” Gao Zhiquan said with a smile, though it was hard to say how genuine that smile was.
“Okay.” Luo Lingxing agreed without hesitation.
Although he hadn’t been in contact with mechas since his physical level reached Grade B, it shouldn’t affect his performance in the competition. Everyone was a little surprised by Luo Lingxing’s quick agreement, but most felt that Luo Lingxing was overestimating himself. They were determined to teach him a lesson later, as the mecha class wasn’t easy to get into, and not just anyone could join!
