That’s an attack helicopter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are they insane? This is Peking University! The airspace here is a no-fly zone! Who dares fly a military craft straight in?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is way too arrogant—where are the campus patrol officers? Why aren’t they stopping this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the stunned gazes of the students,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the cabin door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo and the others stepped down from the helicopter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son, I’m off then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao stood at the cabin door, wearing sunglasses, a cigar unlit between his lips, waving at Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, got it. Drive safely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo waved goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The helicopter roared again, lifting off and vanishing gracefully into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the helicopter had shrunk to a tiny black dot did Lin Mo finally look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the growing crowd around him and the pointing fingers, Lin Mo sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the helicopter, he had already mentioned to his father that landing directly on the campus lawn might be inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his father just shoved the cigar into his mouth and waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s inappropriate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m dropping off my son—what’s more natural than that? Who dares complain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anyone has an issue, let them come find me! I’ll see if they’re itching for a beating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming thug-like aura left Lin Mo speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re the Thunder Emperor—you decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Han Mengqing patted her chest and exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My god… finally gone…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, your dad’s presence is terrifying. Sitting across from him, I felt like even breathing was wrong—I couldn’t even take a full breath.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing grumbled, then suddenly clenched her tiny fists, face flushed with indignation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But seriously, those Japanese brats are evil! They pulled off an assassination!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I say we let Uncle Lin lead a force straight over and sink that damn island! See if they dare act up again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao glanced at her sister and tapped her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re thinking too simply.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ocean hides countless terrors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The sea remains a forbidden zone humanity has never controlled. Deep beneath, ancient legendary sea beasts lurk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Launching a cross-sea campaign risks encountering a beast tide—losses would be incalculable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Han Mengyao paused, her expression growing more serious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, Japan isn’t as weak as it seems. They have top-tier experts too. Crossing the sea isn’t just about the ocean’s terrors—even if we reach their territory, we’d be fighting on their home ground, at a terrible cost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing nodded slowly, half-understanding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is… the sea’s that dangerous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she huffed, still dissatisfied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we just let it slide?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo picked up the thread: “We can’t cross the sea, but we’ll meet them on the Ten Thousand Nations Arena.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If they want to play, we’ll play them properly there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing’s eyes lit up as she waved her fists:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Smash them into the ground on the arena! Make them understand why flowers are red!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball Spell’ rolled wildly: Hungry! Hungry! I want to eat ‘Braised Fire Demon Beef Tendon’!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Earth Shield Spell’ joined in: Master! Master! I’m hungry too! I want to eat dirt!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s lip twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bastards only think of food after a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soothed them internally:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, we’re going to eat—stop yelling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo turned to the three girls:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, I’m heading to the cafeteria for a meal. You guys?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too! Me too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing was the first to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao and Chu Lingxuan nodded as well—they were all hungry after the ordeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them headed toward the Longyuan Pavilion cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, on the playground bleachers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>three students watched the retreating backs of Lin Mo’s group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one in the middle was a short-haired, sharp-eyed male—Shen Jun, leader of the second-year ordinary students at Peking University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his left was the long-haired senior who had greeted the freshmen, Gu Qingge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his right stood a tall, slender male with an air of arrogance—Zhou Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. What a showy entrance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Kai leaned against the railing, tone dripping with disdain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flying a helicopter straight onto campus? Are the Dragon Order Class students really this arrogant now? Do they treat Peking University like their backyard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingge chuckled, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shen Jun, the leader there is Lin Mo—the top-ranked student of this year’s Dragon Order Class.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The three girls beside him are Han Mengyao at rank three, Chu Lingxuan at rank four, and Han Mengqing at rank fifteen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he’s the number one, Lin Mo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun narrowed his eyes, fingers lightly tapping the railing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingge watched the group disappear into the distance and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging by their direction, they’re heading to the cafeteria.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun adjusted his collar, speaking coolly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect. I’m hungry too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go. Let’s meet this ‘number one.’ The freshman trials are coming—since we’re senior representatives, we should size them up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Shen Jun strode toward the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Kai and Gu Qingge exchanged glances and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longyuan Pavilion Cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most luxurious cafeteria at Peking University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a cafeteria, it resembled a five-star upscale restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo and the others found a window-side table and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the lavish spread, even Han Mengyao, who had seen plenty, couldn’t help but be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this is too extravagant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This meal… must cost a fortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lingxuan whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who cares? It’s free! Dragon Order Class privilege!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing didn’t care at all—she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lin Mo’s mind, his spells had gone wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball Spell’ roared: That chicken! The flaming chicken! Shove it in my mouth! Hurry! Hurry!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Earth Shield Spell’ drooled: That pangolin looks so delicious… Master, hurry up, hurry up!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Thunder Strike Technique\": That eel... isn't bad either.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo was torn between laughter and tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of lava chicken, and was about to put it in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, juniors, mind if we join your table?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice sounded beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo paused, looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three people in ordinary class uniforms approached, carrying trays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun wore a polished smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingge and Zhou Kai followed silently behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they were second-year seniors, they dared not act presumptuous before this group of \"privileged\" Dragon Order Class students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo swallowed the chicken, gestured at the dozens of empty tables around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are plenty of seats here. Must we share a table?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun’s smile stiffened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy really doesn’t give an inch of face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he dared not react, so he spoke even more politely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, meals are more fun with company, and we just wanted to observe the flair of this year’s Dragon Order Class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully, he pulled out a chair and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingge and Zhou Kai followed suit, keeping their distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Mo said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their attitude was polite—no one hits a smiling face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun smiled and introduced himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, I’m Shen Jun from the second-year ordinary class, representative of the second-year seniors. These two are Gu Qingge and Zhou Kai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Shen, pleasure to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded politely, replied, then returned to eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice—his inner gluttons were pressing too hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three women also gave slight nods in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun looked at Lin Mo and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Lin, I’ve heard you’re number one in this year’s Dragon Order Class. Long time admirer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo, mouth full of meat, replied vaguely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mages are the core of any team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun smiled, pointing at Lin Mo’s dish, \"I see you’re eating Lava Chicken—strong fire element. You’re Fire-affinity, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Fire-affinity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then your Fire-affinity must be at its peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jun probed further, tone laced with flattery, \"But if you only master Fire, you couldn’t rank first in Dragon Order Class. You must have other affinities too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo put down his chopsticks, took a sip of drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Shen Jun, clearly understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was here to scout for the upcoming freshman trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Mo didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go ahead and scout—before absolute power, all probing is futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, I know a bit of Earth too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo admitted frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?
