Chapter 132: Reminder
The next day, sunny.
Lu Bai chatted with the campus psychologist as usual, then came out of the psychological counseling room. He looked up at the holographic sky screen.
The weather was sunny as always, and there was still some time before mealtime.
Since it was still early anyway, he simply walked toward the combat training hall.
After causing such a big commotion yesterday, he was naturally no longer a nobody in others’ eyes.
Ranking first in two consecutive rounds of deathmatch duels, this result was so outstanding that it felt glaring to many.
Students he encountered along the way all instinctively made way for him.
“Lu Bai? The genius who just rose up in our campus?”
“That’s right, it’s him.”
“I heard when this result was announced yesterday, no one believed it, and they even almost expelled him.” “No way? Who would be that stupid?”
“It’s absolutely true, my cousin was right there at the scene.”
“If he was really expelled, that would be interesting.”
Many students passed by him and then discussed him in private.
But they only dared to gossip behind his back; they didn’t even dare to look up in front of Lu Bai.
“How come we’ve never heard of this elite before?”
“Shh~ Keep it down. Let me tell you, he wasn’t outstanding before. I heard he fell into the river…”
Normally, facing such an outstanding potential stock, whether to latch onto his thigh or represent their own faction to recruit him, someone would always come forward to chat with Lu Bai.
Unfortunately, Lu Bai wasn’t a normal case at all. His previous social circle was limited to his own class, and all factions had never had any intelligence on him before.
Plus the rumor that the drowning incident drastically changed his temperament, like he had unblocked the governing and conception vessels and soared straight up, which really made them unable to figure out what kind of personality Lu Bai had now.
Before figuring it out, all factions chose to continue observing.
Lu Bai didn’t care about others’ discussions, as long as they didn’t affect him. He was happy to have peace and quiet.
Arrived at the combat training hall.
Lu Bai familiarly changed into loose combat gear.
He casually placed the protective gear on the ground and started warming up on his own.
Seeing this, a scrawny old man walked up to him, picked up the protective gear, and patted off some nonexistent dust.
“You’re something, kid. Even I, the old man, know about it.”
The scrawny old man looked Lu Bai up and down, full of emotion: “Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought, first place in two rounds.”
Lu Bai gave a smiling face in response, said nothing, and continued warming up.
“I misjudged you. You came every day last month. Although I thought you should get a good result, this result of yours is excessively good.”
Hearing this, Lu Bai stopped his warm-up movements and looked at the scrawny old man with a half-smile.
He kept staring until the scrawny old man’s expression became stiff, then softly asked: “Did someone send you to find me?”
“Haha, no no.”
The old man dryly laughed twice and waved his hands repeatedly.
Somewhat unnaturally, he watched Lu Bai finish warming up, handed him the protective gear, and then turned to leave as if fleeing.
Watching the scrawny old man’s back as he left, Lu Bai withdrew his gaze.
Since he had just arrived here, and last month was basically a two-point-one-line lifestyle between home and the training hall, he actually hadn’t made any friends.
Excluding his younger brother and sister, this scrawny old man and Liang Fuzhong were probably the only two people he could talk to, um… the psychologist didn’t count.
