Chapter 218: 157. Targeted by a Fox Demon_2
Shen Qinghan licked her lips, a look of complete satisfaction on her face as she said with a smile,
“You might not believe it, but I dreamed that after we graduated from university, we had a cute daughter. When it came to naming our daughter, we couldn’t agree and got into a dispute, arguing about getting a divorce.”
“Your dream is just outrageous.”
Lin Zichen listened and found himself at a loss for words.
Shen Qinghan: “Indeed, it’s outrageous. The divorce was actually initiated by me. Afterward, I spent every day at home washing my face with tears, but I was too stubborn to give in, even though I’m not that kind of person in reality.”
Lin Zichen: “That’s how dreams are, full of bizarre elements. The plot never follows logic.”
Shen Qinghan sat up on the bed, took Lin Zichen’s arm, and said, “Exactly, there’s no logic at all. In real life, I would never argue about divorcing you. As for our daughter’s name, I would let you decide entirely.”
“Letting me decide entirely is a bit much.”
Lin Zichen gently said, combing her hair, “When it comes to naming our child, we’ll definitely need to discuss and decide together.”
And so they sat on the bed talking for a while.
Soon, the two of them got out of bed, washed up, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast together.
After eating breakfast, they left home together and headed to the sports hall to participate in the end-of-term freshman competition.
…
Sports Hall.
First floor.
When Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan arrived, it was already packed with people everywhere you looked.
The spectator seats were almost entirely full.
It had to be said, this annual freshman competition was quite popular, drawing a lot of attention.
Lin Zichen looked around and soon led Shen Qinghan to the front, where the competitors’ waiting area was located.
Both of them were competitors and needed to go there to register and sign in.
“Everyone else has signed in; just the two of you are left. Come on over and sign.”
As soon as they entered the competitors’ waiting area, a student council member responsible for registration spoke to them with a slightly cold voice.
Lin Zichen’s recent stand-in service work had almost completely annoyed the student council, and many of its members were reluctant to show him a friendly face.
Here “many” was limited to the male members of the student council.
As for the female members, they remained Lin Zichen’s admirers, as they had always been, not turning into critics just because their positions opposed each other.
After signing in.
Lin Zichen, holding Shen Qinghan’s hand, found an empty spot to sit down, chatting as they waited for the competition to begin.
They didn’t chat for long.
Soon one was playing with their phone, while the other curiously observed the surrounding competitors.
The one on the phone was Lin Zichen, scrolling through the news.
The one observing the competitors was Shen Qinghan, using her peripheral vision to assess every potential rival, wanting to be thoroughly prepared.
Although Lin Zichen was very optimistic about her, saying she had the strength to be in the top three among the new students,
she herself wasn’t so confident.
She feared she might make a fool of herself on the martial stage in case something unexpected happened.
She had to be extra cautious.
It was crucial not to underestimate any opponent.
After spending a few minutes scoping out the competition, Shen Qinghan gathered the following information:
A total of 128 competitors.
99 from Evolution College, 28 from Mech God Class, and 1 from martial arts.
The lone martial artist was Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen and the entire Evolution Class had been exempted from trials and directly qualified to compete.
The rest of the dozens of competitors had enrolled themselves and fought their way through the preliminary qualifiers, punch by punch, kick by kick.
Shen Qinghan focused particularly on the 28 Mech God Class students.
All were students from that class.
Their bodies were equipped with various types of alloy equipment provided by the Mech God Corporation.
Their combat power seemed very strong.
Shen Qinghan felt that if she were to unexpectedly fall on the martial stage, it would most likely be at the hands of a Mech God Class student.
…
Half an hour later.
The freshman competition finally began.
The first round was from 128 to 64, eliminating half of the competitors.
Lin Zichen was matched with an ordinary male student from Evolution College.
As soon as the male student saw his opponent was Lin Zichen, his complexion drastically changed.
Meeting the big boss right at the start, what the hell!
Before long, the contest began.
Lin Zichen didn’t waste any time and knocked the male student out with a single kick, advancing to the next round.
On the other side,
Shen Qinghan was paired with a female student from her class and also won easily, moving on to the second round.
…
The second round.
64 to 32.
Once again eliminating half of the competitors.
This time, Lin Zichen was matched with a girl from the talent class.
Upon seeing that her opponent was “Face Smacking Fiend” Lin Zichen, she opted not to even step onto the stage, decisively forfeiting to protect her face from being turned into a pig’s head.
Learning the reason for the girl’s forfeiture, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
Elsewhere.
Shen Qinghan was matched with a boy from a regular class.
She won with ease, without even needing to activate her Exotic Beast Gene, just kicking the opponent out with her own physical strength.
…
The third round of the duel.
32 into 16.
Lin Zichen was matched against a runner-up from the talent class and immediately finished him with one kick.
Shen Qinghan was matched with a third-place contestant and likewise won with ease.
Many were astonished by Shen Qinghan’s performance.
Before this, everyone thought she was just a vase in the talent class.
Pretty but useless.
Unexpectedly, her strength was so formidable.
Three rounds into the competition, every match had been a quick kill, truly proving that appearances can be deceiving.
…
The fourth round of the duel.
16 into 8.
Lin Zichen was matched with a boy from the Mech God Class.
The opponent’s arms had undergone mechanical augmentation, turned into a pair of alloy steel arms.
Inside were firearms, sharp blades, and a lot of highly destructive high-tech equipment.
In the duel, Lin Zichen didn’t rush to finish off the mechanical being.
Instead, he stood still, allowing the mechanical being to unleash his firepower at will, to get a feel for the level of mechanical augmentation offered by the Mech God Group.
Seeing Lin Zichen standing motionless, the mechanical being didn’t waste the opportunity and aimed his guns at Lin Zichen’s vital points, firing wildly.
However, with all ammunition spent, Lin Zichen was still unscathed, and his opponent was forced to admit defeat.
On the other side.
Shen Qinghan was also matched with a mechanical being.
She wasn’t as resilient as Lin Zichen, couldn’t withstand bullets, nor dodge them, getting shot several times and blood instantly gushing out.
But luckily, with the Living Dead Slug gene aiding her, she healed quickly and was not seriously harmed.
In the end, she too won the duel effortlessly and advanced to the next round.
…
At this time.
The clock had struck 12 noon.
The morning’s matches were now over.
The remaining three rounds would take place in the afternoon.
However, the match-up results for the next round were already out.
Lin Zichen was matched with a previous underling defeated during the school’s opening trial, the top scholar of Yuntian Province—Lu Qizhi.
Lu Qizhi, seeing that his opponent was Lin Zichen, instantly felt ashen-faced and his heart chilled.
He had originally hoped to reach the semifinals.
Now it seemed hopeless, only able to stop at the top eight.
On the other hand, Shen Qinghan was matched with Ma Xiwei, which was a lot of pressure.
Both of their Biological Levels were ordinary Sixth Order.
They were well-matched opponents.
It was uncertain who would win and who would lose.
Lacking confidence, Shen Qinghan felt her chances of winning were slim.
…
Meanwhile.
In Shanhai City.
Atop the rooftop of a shopping center.
The Fox Demon girl stood on the very edge of the fence, her eyes filled with curiosity as she surveyed the surrounding skyscrapers, finding them incredibly unbelievable.
The environment on Earth was entirely different from that of the Origin Land.
They were two completely different worlds.
She was wide-eyed and amazed.
“By the way, since your Divine Plant Cult has been rooted on Earth for so long, you must have seen many handsome men. Do you have any good recommendations?”
The Fox Demon girl turned to the elderly man in the mask beside her, inquiring.
She had come to Earth specifically to find herself an Earthly bed companion.
The elderly man with the mask was well-prepared and immediately pulled out a photograph from his embrace, respectfully presenting it to the Fox Demon girl, saying, “My deity, this young man definitely meets your criteria. Not only is he extraordinarily handsome, but his physical body is also immensely strong. Please have a look.”
The Fox Demon girl reached out to take the photo, and upon seeing Lin Zichen, her eyes brightened, expressing her interest eagerly, “Tell me more about his situation.”
