Rumble.
A clap of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and an autumn rain suddenly fell. This was the first rain the newcomers had experienced since arriving at the North Style Academy. Everyone looked out of the dining hall.
The raindrops weren't heavy and fell without a sound, but they were dense and urgent. A newcomer who had just rushed into the dining hall was already covered in water droplets in the blink of an eye after the clap of thunder.
"The rain isn't light." He turned his head to take a look, then went to get his food.
The people who were about to leave after eating were not stopped by the rain at this time. The one in front waved his hand to display a special ability, and the rain only swirled around him, unable to fall on him no matter how hard he tried. He just walked into the rain and floated away.
The newcomers were immediately interested, and each used their own methods to avoid the rain, stepping into the rain one after another. For a moment, it became a scene of competition. A few newcomers who didn't have abilities in this area couldn't help but feel awkward. They could only pretend that they hadn't eaten their fill, and continued to dawdle in the dining hall.
From Separated by Water, to Cutting Water with a Knife, to Light at the End of the Tunnel …
All kinds of abilities emerged one after another. It was a waste to use them on something as trivial as shielding from the rain. However, it also showed that these newcomers who hadn't started training in the North Style Academy already had their own extraordinary abilities.
"Wow, Water's Last Glory!"
Another rookie stepped into the rain and conjured a water screen above his head. He used water to block the water, diverting all the falling raindrops away. It made the rookies in the cafeteria, who recognized this superpower, exclaim in surprise.
When Lu Ping heard this name, he couldn't help but raise his head to look.
Chairman Ku Qi of the Zhiling Area's Academy Supervisory Committee used this ability. He fought five of them alone, and almost defeated them. Who would've thought that there would be someone here who knew this ability?
That newcomer won the loudest cry of surprise so far, and turned his head to smile at everyone in satisfaction.
Lu Ping also slowly stood up at this time.
"I'm done eating." He said to Lin Tianbiao.
"Let me see you off?" Lin Tianbiao also stood up.
"No need." Lu Ping smiled, turned around, and slowly walked out of the dining hall. Lin Tianbiao did not move. Everyone's gazes were focused on Lu Ping, including the rookie who had used Water's Last Glory to walk into the rain.
Everyone was curious about Lu Ping.
Because no one could clearly see Lu Ping's strength.
At first, she thought that he was useless, but after hearing what he had done in the Xuan Jun Empire, she was shocked. However, he also felt that it wasn't something a good-for-nothing could do. After that, Lu Ping's body was full of problems. One moment, his soul power was gone, and the next moment, he was beaten half to death.
Everyone became more and more curious about him. Now, was it time to see some clues?
Everyone stared at Lu Ping, their gazes following Lu Ping as he slowly moved outwards.
Lu Ping had not fully recovered from his injuries. He could barely move. Too fast or too hurried. Therefore, he walked very slowly.
However, everyone was very patient. They slowly waited and watched. Finally, Lu Ping walked to the door. There were some raindrops drifting in with the wind, and the ground was already wet.
It was coming!
Everyone's expression turned solemn. Lu Ping had taken the first step that they had been waiting for. Then. Second step, third step …
Everyone watched and pondered.
Lu Ping walked very slowly. They pondered for a while, and Lu Ping only took five steps.
Some people started to retract their gazes, and looked around curiously. Then, more and more puzzled gazes appeared.
"He didn't use his superpower?" Someone said what he saw.
"He didn't." Someone affirmed.
Lu Ping didn't use any superpower. He just walked out, as though he didn't see the rain. Then. His figure was quickly swallowed up by the fine and dense rain. His figure gradually became blurry in the curtain of rain, very slowly becoming blurry.
"He still doesn't have soul power, right?"
"Probably …"
No one dared to make a conclusion about Lu Ping. However, many people looked at Lin Tianbiao. Recently, he was very close to Lu Ping. Everyone hoped that he could answer their doubts.
However, Lin Tianbiao didn't intend to say anything. He just sat down quietly and continued to eat the food on his plate.
Lu Ping walked in the rain.
The rain had instantly drenched his whole body.
His soul power hadn't recovered, so it was impossible for him to block the raindrops. However, even if he could do it. He wouldn't.
He didn't hate being drenched in the rain. It was something new to him. This was an experience that he didn't have before he came to Zhenfeng College. This was a memory that he had after he came to Zhenfeng College. Being able to relive it, Lu Ping didn't feel embarrassed.
Just like that, he walked slowly in the rain and returned to the Fifth Courtyard dripping wet.
The rain didn't lessen, but there were still people in the courtyard.
Of the two bamboo chairs, one had long been soaked, while the other had a large umbrella set up above it. Under the umbrella, Huo Ying was lying on the chair. He was resting with his eyes closed as usual. Only when Lu Ping came in did he open his eyes to take a look.
"Do you like being drenched in the rain?" He looked at Lu Ping and asked.
"I can't say that I like it, but I don't hate it either." Lu Ping said.
"Do you want to continue drenched?" Huo Ying asked.
"That's fine." Lu Ping said.
"Then sit." Huo Ying said.
Thus, Lu Ping sat on his bamboo chair that had long been drenched. He lay down on his back and was drenched even more thoroughly.
"Some people hate the rain." Huo Ying said as he gazed at the distant mountains. In the autumn rain, the Big Dipper Peak was covered in a hazy mist.
There were many people who hated the rain, but in the North Style Academy, the one who hated the rain the most was undoubtedly Megrez Star Chen Jiu.
He loved to bask in the sun. There was nothing he hated more than the rain.
Currently, his mood was very bad. Yet, there was this kind of rain. It made his face so gloomy that it seemed like it would drip water.
"That idiot!" Chen Jiu slammed his palm on the table. The two students in front of him kept quiet out of fear. They shrunk their necks and didn't dare to make a sound.
They had never seen their mentor so angry before. Usually, he was indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything at all. But now, his anger could be seen from the cracks on the hardwood table under his palm.
"Eldest senior brother, he … …"
"If he wants to die, then let him die." Chen Jiu said coldly. That student immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to say another word.
Chen Jiu stood up and walked to the window. He gazed at the rain outside.
"The date of execution is set after the Seven Stars Competition." He suddenly said.
"Doesn't that mean we still have time?" One of the students was pleasantly surprised.
"This is already the limit of what I can fight for." Chen Jiu said.
"I will continue to act quickly." The student said.
"Both A and B must be properly arranged." Chen Jiu said.
