Chapter 376 - 370: The Legendary Deeds of Senior Lin Qi
"Line up and enter the security checkpoint, everyone!" a burly man shouted.
"ROAR!!"
At that moment, a fighter jet tore through the sky.
"How come some new students don’t have to go through security? They get to fly straight into the school in a fighter jet?" a new student complained.
"That’s a privilege reserved for Awakened Talents!"
"If you were an Awakened Talent, you’d get the same treatment!" the burly man, Duan Wei, sneered.
The student who had asked fell silent. Compared to an Awakened Talent, he was leagues behind.
Many of the Talents watched the jet wash from the fighter, their eyes filled with envy.
Some S-class Talents were resentful. ’We have to prove we’re not any weaker than the Awakened Talents.’
After entering the campus, many new students joined the line for the Fist Power test.
"My Fist Power is 1,000 kg!"
"I got 1,500 kg!"
"2,400 kg!"
"That’s Qu Lingyue from Jiangnan Province! He was ranked 6th in the college entrance exams. His power is insane!" someone exclaimed in shock.
Hearing the crowd’s gasps, a burly young man among them broke into a proud smile.
But when he saw he was only ranked 54th in the all-time records, he frowned. ’My Fist Power is this incredible, so what kind of Talents are in the top ten?’
"That’s insane! Qu Lingyue is that strong and he’s only 54th? What kind of monsters are ahead of him?"
"Three of them are from last year’s class. Seniors Huo Wanyang, Ao Feng, and Lin Qi," someone noted in surprise.
Not far away, Ao Feng walked through the security checkpoint and watched the new students crowded around the Punch Force Tester.
He was lost in thought. This time last year, he had been full of fighting spirit, determined to compete with Huo Wanyang for the title of strongest freshman.
But then Lin Qi had come out of nowhere. With a Talent the likes of which had never been seen, he had swept away all competition, remaining undefeated.
He was as dazzling as the sun, crushing any will they had to even try to compete.
Soon, the new students from the various institutes were picked up and led away.
The new students of the Azure Sky Sixth Institute listened as a teacher gave them an orientation from a tour vehicle.
The strict, hierarchical system based on various perks and benefits particularly stood out, making them feel an intense pressure to compete.
Just then, a tour vehicle carrying returning students passed by.
"Hey, underclassmen! Welcome to the Azure Sky Sixth Institute!"
"Here at the Azure Sky Sixth Institute, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know the Dean, the teachers, or the upperclassmen."
"But there’s one person you have to know: Lin Qi!"
an upperclassman called out with a grin.
"Professor, who’s Lin Qi?" a pretty girl asked curiously.
The teacher chuckled. "Lin Qi? He’s the legend of our Azure Sky Sixth Institute."
"You’ll learn all about him soon enough."
"I know who he is!" a round-faced boy piped up.
Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, he couldn’t resist showing off.
"My older brother is a sophomore here."
"Lin Qi was the Dean of last year’s class at the Azure Sky Sixth Institute. He’s a total badass Talent."
He then proceeded to list Lin Qi’s achievements.
"He led the Sixth Institute to first place in the Disaster Beast Hunting Competition, and he beat the runner-up, Huo Wanyang, to win the freshman tournament."
"Then, in the national freshman tournament, he defeated the top-ranked contestants, including an S-class Awakened Talent, to claim the championship."
"And that’s not all! In the global freshman tournament, he went on to defeat countless Awakened Talents, even SS-level ones, sweeping the competition to take home yet another championship."
"And according to the latest news, Senior Lin Qi is very likely to become the first-ever Unawakened SS-level Talent," the round-faced boy finished, his voice full of worship.
The other students who heard this were left dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open.
A look of pure adoration filled their eyes.
To them, Awakened Talents were untouchable beings, yet they were being defeated by an Ordinary Talent.
Just imagining themselves in Lin Qi’s shoes made their blood boil with excitement.
"He’s incredible. Truly a living legend," someone marveled.
"I wish I could get Senior Lin Qi’s autograph... He’s so strong. He’s my new idol!" another person declared, completely won over.

「Azure Sky Sixth Institute Dormitory Area, The Plaza」
"ROAR!!"
The Sparrowhawk Fighter landed amidst a gale, its cabin door opening.
Luu Wei was the first to step out, followed by Lin Qi, Jiangtao, and Jiang Miaoyin.
"Classmate Jiang Miaoyin, I’ll take you to your villa," Teacher Luu Wei said with a nod.
"I’ll go with you," Jiangtao said, nodding.
Meanwhile, Lin Qi was saying goodbye to Wuu Lingyun, who was still in the fighter.
Wuu Lingyun said with a smile,
"Lin Qi, don’t hesitate to call if you need anything!"
"Will do!"
"ROAR!!"
After watching the fighter jet depart, Lin Qi grabbed his luggage and headed back to his own large villa.
He needed to see Dean Liu in a bit. The dean had already taken care of the arrangements for the Awakening Fruit.
