Chapter 353
Welcome? Join the Royal Fighting Team?!
Meng Yiran was completely dumbfounded.
The look in their eyes as they gazed at Lin Xia's back was no longer just one of awe and curiosity. So... can someone really do whatever they want when they're powerful enough?
Enrolling in school can excite Contra players this much?
Lin Xia seemed to have anticipated the enthusiastic response from the three education committee members, and showed no surprise on her face, only nodding slightly.
"In that case, thank you very much, the three education commissioners."
It was as if accepting this admission was a matter of course.
"Lord Lin, you're too kind! It's our honor!"
Meng Shenji quickly waved his hand, his smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.
"I wonder, Lin Tong... uh, Lord Lin, what are your specific requirements for the enrollment arrangements? For example, which grade? Which class? Do you need a separate tutor? Or a dedicated training place?"
"Regarding accommodation, we will immediately arrange the best detached courtyard house, guaranteeing quiet comfort and complete facilities, absolutely befitting your status!"
Seeing Meng Shenji's appearance caused Ning Rongrong and the others watching to twitch their lips again.
What a shameless face!
"No need for that."
Lin Xia raised her hand, stopping Meng Shenji from becoming even more solicitous.
"Just follow the normal procedure. But please assign us to the Royal Fighting Team!"
Lin Xia's gaze swept over Ning Rongrong and the other two.
"The three of them also enrolled together."
"Of course, no problem!"
Meng Shenji immediately made the decision.
"Miss Ning, Miss Zhu, and Miss Meng, it would be a great honor for the three of you to join our academy! Our elite class is always open to you!"
He couldn't wait to bring everyone around Lin Xia into the picture, so that their relationship would become even closer.
Meng Shenji readily agreed and immediately said to Zhilin:
"Brother Zhilin, you must arrange this personally right away! Get Lin's and the three young ladies' student registration processed as quickly as possible!"
"We'll stay at Tingtao Garden. It's a quiet place with great scenery and all the latest facilities!"
"Understood, Chief, I'll take care of it right away!"
Zhilin immediately stood up, bowed slightly to Lin Xia, and then quickly left the office.
He needs to process this sudden and dramatic change and think about how to maximize his benefits.
Bai Baoshan rubbed his hands together and said heartily:
"Don't worry, Lin. If you need anything at the academy, just ask! I, Lao Bai, will be the first to object to anyone who dares to mess with you!"
His words were both a statement and a subtle reminder, hoping that Lin Xia, this great Buddha, could behave herself and not cause too much trouble in the academy.
Lin Xia gave a noncommittal "hmm".
The following morning, at the Royal Academy of Heaven, in the Royal Fighting Team's exclusive training ground.
Sunlight streamed through the enormous domed skylight, casting bright spots of light on the polished obsidian floor.
The air was filled with the vibrant energy of souls and a faint fragrance of grass and trees.
The training ground is extremely large and fully equipped, large enough to accommodate the execution of powerful soul skills and team combat drills.
At this moment, all members of the Royal Fighting Team have finished their morning training and are taking a short rest.
Yu Tianheng, the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, was tall and stern-faced. He was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel, his gaze sweeping steadily over his teammates.
Dugu Yan, dressed in a dark green outfit that accentuated her slender figure, had emerald green eyes that carried a hint of languor and innate arrogance as she fiddled with her dark green nails.
The graphite and millstone brothers stood silently to one side, like two iron towers.
Yu Feng leaned against the wall, a playful smile playing on his lips.
Oslo closed his eyes to rest, his breath as sharp as a cheetah's.
Ye Lingling sat quietly in the corner, her face veiled, her aura as cool and serene as the moon, as if separated from the surrounding clamor by an invisible barrier. Footsteps approached from afar, breaking the tranquility of the training ground.
Qin Ming, the leader of the Royal Fighting Team and a promising young Soul Emperor, walked in with a slight frown.
Behind him were Lin Xia, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran, as well as Chief Education Committee Member Meng Shenji, who had a gentle smile on his face.
"Teacher Qin, Chief?"
Yu Tianheng was the first to stand up straight, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The other team members also turned their gazes toward them, with curiosity and scrutiny.
The fact that Meng Shenji personally led his team to the training ground was unusual in itself. And when their gaze fell upon Lin Xia and the others, their doubts deepened.
Lin Xia was still dressed in a simple blue robe, with a tall and handsome figure, but the unfathomable depth hidden beneath his calm demeanor made the perceptive Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan feel a chill run down their spines.
Ning Rongrong was charming and lovely, her eyes carrying the unique reserve of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess and a hint of subtle pickiness as she surveyed this environment, which was countless times better than Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing was as cold as ice, expressionless, as if everything around her was irrelevant to her. Only her icy blue eyes occasionally swept over her, carrying a sharp scrutinizing gaze.
Meng Yiran appeared somewhat nervous and uneasy, her small hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, but her eyes were filled with amazement at the training ground of this top-tier university.
Qin Ming looked at Meng Shenji, his eyes filled with undisguised confusion.
"Chief, what's going on...?"
Meng Shenji smiled broadly, seemingly oblivious to the team members' doubts, cleared his throat, and introduced in a loud voice:
"Tianheng, Yanzi, and all the team members, let me introduce our new members!"
He stepped aside and gestured to Lin Xia and the others.
"This is Lord Lin Xia, the city lord of Gengjin City!"
"City Lord?!"
Yu Tianheng's pupils suddenly contracted, the playful look on Yu Feng's face froze instantly, even Oslo, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them, and the Graphite and Stone Mill brothers also showed surprise.
The city lord of Gengjin City?!
That legendary, mysterious, and powerful being, whom even the Empire and the Three Upper Sects treated with deference?
So young?
Why are you still here?
A strange light flashed in Dugu Yan's emerald eyes as she looked Lin Xia up and down, her gaze filled with inquiry and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.
As the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, she naturally knew some secrets that were difficult for ordinary people to access. Even when her grandfather spoke of Geng Jincheng, he spoke with a certain solemnity.
Meng Shenji continued his introduction.
"This is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Miss Ning Rongrong!"
Ning Rongrong slightly raised her delicate chin as a greeting.
Her status as the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is enough to make her respected in any Soul Master group.
"This is Miss Zhu Zhuqing, the second young lady of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire."
Zhu Zhuqing simply nodded slightly, her aloofness unchanged.
"This is Miss Meng Yiran, the granddaughter of the peerless dragon and snake senior Meng Shu."
Meng Yiran tried to straighten her back and gave a somewhat restrained smile.
After the introduction, Meng Shenji's voice carried an undeniable certainty.
"Lord Lin and the three young ladies, from today onwards, you have officially joined our Royal Fighting Team! Let us warmly welcome our new members!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the training ground.
Welcome to the Royal Fighting Team! (End of Chapter)
