After asking a few questions carefully, he finally figured out the whole story.
The second monthly exam took place while he was traveling in Jiangsu Province.
The original arrangement of the academy was that they would finish exploring the magical city and take the second monthly exam in a few days after returning.
The college probably thought that Cheng Lin would just relax for three to five days at most and then come back just in time.
As a result, I didn't know that he gave himself a long vacation of about ten days.
So I completely missed it.
However, Cheng Lin himself couldn't accept this logic because he didn't receive the message at all.
Logically speaking, if the monthly exam is about to take place, the college counselor should at least send him a message to inform him to return in advance, right?
The result is nothing.
This is obviously very abnormal.
"I don't know about the monthly exam at all. Did no one in the college inform me?" Cheng Lin expressed doubts.
The well-informed Sun Xiao smacked his lips and said: "I heard a rumor. It is said that Vice President Kong wanted to arrange for someone to notify you to come back, but he was stopped by Deputy Director Huang. Deputy Director Huang meant,
Since you are having so much fun that you don't miss Shu, then don't notify me."
"..."
Cheng Lin held his forehead, could Huang Yin be more reliable? Is she so willful?
wrong.
He thought about it carefully and had a vague guess. This was probably Huang Yin's intention. If she had wanted to let him help repair the magic weapon for a long time, might she have deliberately prevented him from coming back to take the monthly exam.
Then she would lose the monthly exam ranking reward and lack cultivation resources, and then she would naturally ask him to cultivate magic weapons in exchange for resources...
This possibility is very high.
But no one expected that the projection would appear later and Cheng Lin would sneak into the projection, so Huang Yin changed her explanation and used the name of punishment to deprive him of his promotion material rewards.
To put it bluntly, I just tried every means to trap him so that he would willingly help repair the magic weapon...
"Can this generation of leaders be successful? Yang Congxian is much more reliable than her, right?"
Cheng Lin looked up to the sky and sighed in his heart, feeling that Huang Yin, the leader, was too out of touch.
If Yang Congxian or Shen Shanjing were here, it would be absolutely impossible to do this. Only a leader with Huang Yin's personality would do this.
He couldn't laugh or cry.
But things have already happened, and there is no use worrying about them.
As a result, he missed the second monthly exam without realizing it, and "repeating student" Han Lun took the opportunity to rise and became the new number one in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, the college did not change his dormitory back to Block F based on the ranking, otherwise Cheng Lin would have hit a wall.
I have no face to face the elders on building F...
…
"So, he squeezed out my position while I was away?" Cheng Lin said, rubbing his temples.
"You can't say that. After all, this Han Lun is one year older than us. He has been practicing for a long time, has been in the first division, and enjoys many resources. His strength is indeed not at the same level as ours. Even if you participate, you will not be able to defeat us."
Him." Fu Zhongting analyzed rationally.
Seeing him like this, Hua Bei was not happy: "Can you please stop raising others' ambitions and destroying your own prestige? Why can't Cheng Lin beat him?"
Fu Zhongting was helpless: "But he is indeed very strong. A player like you will be defeated if he goes up."
Hua Bei rolled her eyes: "It's as if you weren't killed instantly."
Fu Zhongting: "..."
Listening to the two people bickering, Cheng Lin was quite surprised.
Seeing this meaning, Fu Zhongting was actually killed? This is strange.
"Have you ever played against him? By the way, what's your ranking this time?" Cheng Lin looked at Fu Zhongting and asked curiously.
Fu Zhongting nodded, with a serious look on his face: "I fought him in the monthly exam, and he crushed me in all aspects. As for the ranking... I am still second."
As he said this, Fu Zhongting, who narrowed his eyes, showed a rare hint of embarrassment.
However, there was no frustration in his tone.
Because this is an unfair contest.
If both had the same amount of time and resources to practice, Fu Zhongting was confident that he would never lose to Han Lun.
Is this so...
Fu Zhongting is currently in the 3rd rank of the second rank, and his progress in cultivation has been very good. In this rank, he is second only to Cheng Lin.
And being able to hang him up means that Han Lun must be above the third level.
After asking, it turned out to be true. According to public information, Han Lun's current cultivation level is level 3, level 3.
"No wonder it won first place."
Cheng Lin nodded.
Fu Zhongting said solemnly: "So, I suggest you ignore his invitation. Han Lun obviously wants to defeat everyone, establish his authority, and block the students' negative public opinion towards him.
And you have now become the last hope of the entire second class, more than 2,000 students. At this time, Han Lun comes over and will definitely challenge you.
If my guess is correct, he will definitely not be merciful if he wants to establish his power. When you are injured, it will consume resources and time to treat the injury, which will greatly slow down your practice speed. No matter how you look at it, you will suffer a loss.
Let's just ignore him. This may lead to gossip, but we don't need to care about that.
They can say whatever they like and just treat it coldly."
Xie Qingke, who was next to him, also nodded and said seriously: "Cheng Lin, my opinion is the same as Fu Zhongting's. You must ignore this challenge. If you do, Han Lun will succeed."
Sun Xiao also looked serious: "I think the same thing. The academy has rules. Han Lun can't do anything to you without your consent. He doesn't dare.
But if he wants to suppress the negative voices, he will definitely need to step on you to change his image and become the well-deserved number one. The note he gave you must be a challenge. If you accept it, you will suffer a big loss.
!”
Hua Bei also nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, we will ignore him!"
The others also tried to persuade him, and they all agreed that Cheng Lin should ignore Han Lun and not give him a chance to challenge.
Cheng Lin held his chopsticks silently and remained silent.
He understood that everyone had good intentions. During the gathering at noon, he only talked about some experiences in Su Province, but he did not reveal that he had been promoted to the third level.
Therefore, in their opinion, if they were to fight Han Lun as a second-grade person, they would definitely lose.
In this case, the most sensible approach is to treat it coldly.
Obviously, they were worried that Cheng Lin would be "excited" and rush into action in a hot-blooded manner, causing him to suffer heavy losses, so they worked together to persuade him.
Facing the concerned eyes, Cheng Lin's heart felt slightly warm.
His eyes were flickering.
Although he is young, he already knows the severity through many experiences, so he cannot be easily fooled...but...he has other plans...
"Han Lun is jumping like this, will the academy just sit back and ignore it?"
Cheng Lin asked.
"The attitude of the college is a bit unclear. If it is an internal fight, there will be absolutely zero tolerance. But if it is an open 'discussion' and a 'challenge' agreed by both parties, the college will not stop it."
Xie Qingke hesitated and said, "After all, we are not ordinary students, but practitioners. The academy does not want us to become flowers in the greenhouse.
Appropriate fighting is necessary and not forbidden.
Only when you have been injured and seen blood can you be able to bear the heavy burden in the future."
"Understandable." Cheng Lin nodded, thought for a moment, picked up a piece of vegetables with chopsticks, and said calmly, "Anyway, there is nothing to do at night. I think it's okay to meet this Senior Han."
"Cheng Lin, you must not..."
Everyone was in a hurry and stopped him one after another. Fu Zhongting pressed his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Don't be impulsive! Han Lun is a third-grade monk!"
"I know."
Cheng Lin blinked, and the spiritual energy in his body shook slightly, and he actively exuded the aura of a third-grade monk, confining it within three meters around him.
Fu Zhongting and others were enveloped by the aura, and their colors instantly changed. Then their eyes lit up, with surprise on their faces: "You..."
Cheng Lin smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have reached the third level."
…
…
9:40 p.m.
Cheng Lin and his group walked out of the cafeteria after having a good meal and walked along the newly built road to the superpower practice area.
Several people expressed great shock at the fact that he was promoted to the third level.
However, despite being shocked, they still expressed concern.
Even though Cheng Lin has reached the third level, he is still a newcomer after all, and he has not even mastered the third level powers. But what about Han Lun? He is already the third level of the third level. If we use unofficial terms, he may have reached the peak of the third level?
Moreover, he has rich combat experience.
No matter how you look at it, Cheng Lin has no hope of winning.
However, Cheng Lin was quite insistent on this and said he must go and have a look, just for a look.
He also promised that he would never accept the challenge immediately. In order to prevent Cheng Lin from being cheated impulsively, several people insisted on following him to protect him, which made him feel helpless and warm at the same time.
So, on the campus shrouded in darkness.
A team of seven people drove toward the superpower training area.
But when they arrived here, they all frowned in unison:
