Chapter 80: Entering Border City
"I'm not..."
Zhao Qingyi paused for a second, instinctively beginning to speak.
But before he could finish, the group in front of him surged forward.
In an instant, Zhao Qingyi was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.
"So many... so many..."
"They're all core forces, we've struck it rich."
"This foolish girl, why didn't she use her awakened item?"
Pavilion Master Lin muttered to himself while carefully positioning his phone on a tree, ensuring it was aimed in the direction of the Cult members. Only then did he clear his throat and step forward.
His face bore the unique weathered and lonely look of a master.
"Are you... the Cult?"
"To harm others in broad daylight, truly a disgrace to us awakeners."
As his words fell, an energy storm instantly formed around him.
Under strands of blue light,
His icy face was highlighted.
And he looked unexpectedly handsome.
He slightly turned, ensuring the distant video captured his profile, proving his identity.
Even showing off a bit, Pavilion Master Lin made his awakened item appear.
A gust of wind.
Hanging on it were six crystals.
Handsome and powerful.
The Cult members were stunned.
Hadn't intelligence reported that Yu Sheng had only just awakened once?
And that Zhao Zicheng, merely a bystander, also had a single awakening?
Cursing under their breath.
They turned and ran without hesitation.
But it was too late.
What they faced was a thorough and unilateral annihilation.
Screams, bones.
Only Pavilion Master Lin’s somewhat desolate figure stood at the center of the battlefield, head tilted up at a 45-degree angle, gazing at the sky.
He sighed softly.
To achieve this perfect effect, he even silently activated the powerful skill of the sixth crystal.
The visual impact was simply stunning.
"Heh..."
"Is this the bugs of the Cult?"
"Not worth a single blow."
After leaving these words, he looked at Zhao Qingyi still lying on the ground, his face expressionless, then walked out of the camera’s view.
The moment he was out of frame, Pavilion Master Lin’s excitement surged.
That scene had definitely been explosively cool.
Pavilion Master Lin jogged to the tree, carefully turned off the camera, saved the recording, and briefly admired his own form before going back to help Zhao Qingyi up.
"Why didn't you use your awakened item?" he muttered.
"I told you to use it sparingly, not to completely abstain!"
"With a brain like yours, you'd die in Border City without even knowing how."
"I thought our students at Spirit Mind Academy were supposed to pride themselves on their intelligence!"
"How did you end up acting like those fools from Spirit Martial Academy?"
He spoke rapidly, giving Zhao Qingyi no chance to reply.
All that was left was Zhao Qingyi's bewildered expression.
It was the following afternoon.
Pavilion Master Lin, with a grand gesture, purchased an extremely flashy pink sports car, donned sunglasses, and dressed in a fine suit, no longer lingering, he sped towards Border City.
At the same time, the entire human race's attention was focused on Border City.
Including a large number of reporters who flocked there.
This was a longstanding tradition among humans.
Mo Pavilion Academy, the top school of the human race, everyone wanted to know how many people it would admit this year.
Even some underground betting houses opened books.
You could bet on odd or even numbers.

Or guess the exact number of admissions.
It was quite varied.
Although the other three major academies were also popular, compared to Border City, they still lacked a bit of flair.
Even at this time, every young person entering Border City was under close scrutiny.
Of course, the most noticeable were Zhao Zicheng and Yu Sheng.
It couldn’t be helped; they were not only young.
Their car was impressive too.
The luxurious ‘Fierce Tiger XS’ had just entered the city and immediately attracted a lot of attention.
All eyes were focused on them.
"Reportedly, Zhao Zicheng and Yu Sheng drive a Fierce Tiger XS, and now there’s another one in Border City."
"The route matches, the age matches."
"With such formidable records, it’s almost certain that this year Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng will be admitted to Mo Pavilion Academy."
"Especially since rumors have emerged that Yu Sheng, only eighteen, has already received a One-Pattern Cloud Medal."
Suddenly, information about Zhao Zicheng and Yu Sheng was flooding out of Border City.
Inside the underground betting houses, it seemed that even more accurate insider information had been obtained.
The names of Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng were prominently displayed.
Options for whether they could successfully enter Mo Pavilion Academy appeared.
The odds were set at 1:1.
Of course, bets could also be placed on both Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng either both getting admitted or both being eliminated.
These odds were slightly higher.
Given their formidable records, countless bettors placed their wagers.
Their fame had not yet spread among the humans, but gamblers had already firmly memorized their names.
It was somewhat amusing.
The next day.
Another youth entered the city.
Compared to Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng, this youth was more straightforward and attracted more attention.
Not very tall.
About 1.65 meters.
Among the awakened humans, who were everywhere, he could even be considered short.
Yet, he carried a tombstone on his back.
The tombstone bore no name.
It looked large and heavy, secured to his back with iron chains.
His slender body, paired with the enormous tombstone, created a striking visual impact.
Especially since there were bursts of energy emanating from him.
Normally, such a reaction only occurs when someone is about to advance to their next awakening.
Unable to perfectly control their own energy.
This meant...
The seemingly ordinary-looking youth was about to undergo his second awakening?
And he was just a recent graduate, only eighteen years old.
A prodigy!
A peerless genius.
Having just awakened a few months ago, he was about to undergo his second awakening!
Instantly, everyone began investigating this youth's background, but to no avail.
No one even knew where he came from.
Or what his name was.
Including... the underground betting houses.
In desperation, the betting houses simply listed him as "Tombstone Youth."
The odds of him entering Mo Pavilion Academy were set at 1:0.5.
Clearly, even the betting houses felt that this youth had a high chance of being admitted and did not want to lose much money on this.
Yet, despite the small potential returns, numerous gamblers, with eyes red from excitement, placed their bets on the Tombstone Youth.
Even though he entered the city a day later than Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng, his popularity quickly caught up.
In just a few hours, his popularity had peaked.
However...
The reason Mo Pavilion Academy's annual enrolment always became the focal point of the entire human race was due to its unending surprises.
