The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Transfer Student

”Cut the crap. What’s going on today?

The principal and the deans are all out here, and they’re not letting anyone walk down the middle? Didn’t you tell me a couple of days ago that some big shot was coming today? Is some official coming to inspect the school?”

Wei Nan was still fuming.

He looked at the extravagant decorations outside the school gate.

If it really was some official coming for an inspection, then fine. But if not...

Zhou Tao shook his head. ”What official? A Martial Arts prodigy from Beihai City is transferring to our school!”

”A Martial Arts prodigy from Beihai City?”

Lin Yi and Wei Nan both looked at Zhou Tao.

Wang Sheng nodded. ”You guys haven’t heard? The school forums are blowing up about it!”

”This prodigy’s name is Lishi. He’s at the Two-Star Realm. To put it bluntly, he’s already guaranteed admission into a Martial Arts University. He’s just coming to our school as a formality, basically to take up one of our spots!”

”Besides, our school has never had any particularly dazzling achievements in Xinghai City!”

”I heard the principal himself went to Beihai and promised him a ton of benefits just to get him to come here!”

”Anyway, this is really unfair to us. He comes in and immediately snatches a spot, meaning one less student will be able to get into a Martial Arts University!”

Just as the four of them were talking,

a commotion erupted outside the school gate.

Many of the female students were all waiting outside, not having come in yet.

The moment a black minivan stopped outside the gate,

the principal and deans all walked forward, their faces wreathed in smiles.

The surrounding students let out a burst of screams.

It was as if some celebrity had graced them with their presence.

Wei Nan’s face darkened. ”Holy shit, is all this really necessary? He’s just a transfer student.”

Neither Zhou Tao nor Wang Sheng said anything.

But their eyes were filled with envy.

A high school student at the Two-Star Realm would be considered a prodigy in any city.

The school would value him, and even the other students would see him as a role model.

It wasn’t strange at all for this to happen, even for a transfer student.

When the car door opened, a tall, slender man stepped out.

Instantly, the principal and the deans all rushed up with immense enthusiasm.

And the female students let out one deafening shriek after another...

Lin Yi patted Wei Nan’s shoulder. ”Let’s go. We should head back to the classroom.”

Just as the transfer student was getting out of the car,

Lin Yi got a clear look at his talents.

A Two-Star Martial Artist certification.

One white talent trait, two blue talent traits.

And they were all ordinary talents, nothing special.

The only thing that caught Lin Yi’s eye was a purple trait.

And it was the [Winning Streak Boost] talent.

[Winning Streak Boost: Rapidly accumulates boosts to all attributes through a series of battles. The more consecutive wins, the greater the boost. A loss will reset the streak...]

Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a little envious of such a talent.

’If I could get a talent like that and go on to hunt demonic beasts continuously,’

’wouldn’t the boost effect just keep increasing?’

’Perhaps a talent like this was the reason he could reach the Two-Star Realm while still in high school.’

”Look at that pathetic-looking pretty boy.

How can someone like that have a Two-Star cultivation level?”

Wei Nan said disdainfully on the way to the classroom.

Lin Yi didn’t say anything.

He was still thinking about the transfer student’s talent traits.

Wang Sheng quickly added, ”Wei Nan, his realm is widely recognized. It’s no secret in Beihai City. His talent really is that good!”

Hearing this, Wei Nan’s face darkened, and he fell silent.

At that moment, Lin Yi glanced at Wang Sheng and Zhou Tao.

’Those two love to surf the internet,’

’especially the school forums. They know all the school gossip like the back of their hands.’

Lin Yi looked at Zhou Tao and asked, ”That transfer student—does he happen to enjoy sparring with people a lot?”

”Huh? How did you know?”

Zhou Tao froze for a second, looking at Lin Yi in surprise.

Lin Yi smiled. ”Just a wild guess!”

”He really does like to spar. I saw on the school forums that someone posted his profile. This guy, Lishi, has loved fighting people since he was a kid!”

”In middle school, his realm was already way higher than anyone else in his grade!”

”And he’d often challenge the kids with decent realms at school. After starting high school, he spent all his time looking for people to spar with. Once he was done with his own school, he’d go fight other schools in Beihai City!”

”I heard that this time, during the period where third-year students were out of class to prepare for the Martial Arts Exam, that dude actually challenged the students of every single Martial Arts Hall in all of Beihai City. So arrogant!”

After Zhou Tao finished speaking,

Wei Nan could no longer hold back his explosive temper.

”He’s not coming to our school to challenge us, is he?”

”Hard to say. I think he’s a violence-freak to the bone. I doubt his coming here has much to do with the principal’s personal invitation and promises!”

”Someone on the school forums said he’s probably just here to pick fights. After all, there’s no one left in Beihai worth fighting...”

”Fine by me! If he wants to schedule a fight, then bring it on!”

”This is a perfect chance for me to test the results of my three months of secluded training!”

A fierce fighting spirit burned in Wei Nan’s eyes.

He was already itching to go a few rounds with that Lishi.

Lin Yi just smiled and didn’t join their conversation.

While they were talking, they arrived at the hallway outside their classroom.

Having not been back for three months, many classmates were greeting each other one by one as they met.

They exchanged pleasantries, with the topic of realm advancement being what interested them most.

Among themselves, they were all discussing what level of cultivation they had reached over the past three months.

”Wei Nan, how are you doing? I heard you went into seclusion before the school break for exam prep. How much progress have you made?”

”Yeah, did you break through to One-Star?”

A few classmates surrounded Wei Nan, their faces full of expectation as they asked.

Back at school this time, Lin Yi noticed that among his classmates,

aside from Wei Nan who had already reached One-Star,

the highest anyone else had reached was only the 4th Rank.

Most were at the 3rd Rank, but they all seemed full of confidence for the Martial Arts Exam.

Wei Nan laughed. ”What’s a One-Star? I’m not just bragging, you guys, but my current goal is to break through to Two-Star. Give me one more day, and I’ll definitely hit Two-Star tomorrow. Believe it or not?”

”Holy shit, can you stop bragging?”

”You’re already One-Star? That’s awesome!”

”One-Star is good enough! That basically guarantees you a spot already!”

”I’m so jealous of you guys. I crammed for three months, waking up earlier than a rooster and sleeping later than a dog, and only barely managed to reach the 4th Rank. I don’t know if I’ll be able to pass the Martial Arts Exam!”

”Keep it up! Whether we can pass the Martial Arts Exam or not, there’s no room for regret!”

”This is our one shot in life. We just gotta go for it!”

”Lin Yi, what about you? You’re one of the more talented ones in our class. I heard from Teacher Liu that you’ve already registered, right?”

Suddenly, Lin Yi’s desk mate said with a smile, blinking her big eyes.

His desk mate’s name was Li Meng, a cheerful and outgoing girl.

Even though they had been desk mates for three years, Lin Yi wasn’t very familiar with her.

It was mainly because his predecessor hadn’t interacted with her much.

And as for the current Lin Yi, he had only just arrived in this world before classes were suspended for exam prep.

Therefore, he didn’t have many memories of her.

Lin Yi smiled. ”It’s been okay.”

”Oh, stop being so modest! Wei Nan already told us you’re pushing for Two-Star right now.”

Yang Qian, who sat behind him, said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Lin Yi understood.

’No wonder even my desk mate, who I barely interact with, is suddenly asking about me with such concern.’

’So it was that big mouth Wei Nan who blabbed about all this, huh?’

”Don’t listen to him blabbering. The Martial Arts Exam is tomorrow. Even if I wanted to push for Two-Star, I’m out of time!”

”What about you two? How much did your realms improve during the three months of preparation?”

Lin Yi asked with a smile.

Yang Qian and Li Meng’s expressions both dimmed.

In truth, Lin Yi already knew the outcome just by looking at their talents.

Yang Qian was fairly talented and had already reached the 4th Rank.

But Li Meng was a bit behind, still at the 3rd Rank.

If the 4th Rank was the minimum threshold, Li Meng hadn’t even crossed it.

Her chances in tomorrow’s Martial Arts Exam looked grim.

Just as the classroom was buzzing with discussion and classmates were catching up,

suddenly, the door opened, and their homeroom teacher, Liu Song, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time, walked in with a smile.

And behind him followed another person.

Lin Yi looked up and his brow immediately furrowed.

’He recognized that person. It was the transfer student... Lishi.’
