After breakfast, Lin Sheng boarded the bus to Hui An High School with doubts in his mind.
Along the way, many people on the bus were discussing the explosion the night before in low voices.
Some of these ordinary passengers were just making wild guesses, but some were obviously reasonable.
From these people, Lin Sheng heard a word: Whitehawk Base.
He knew about Whitehawk Base. It was the only naval base in Anduin Province, and also the largest naval base in all of Celine.
Celine's strongest Whitehawk Fleet was stationed in the base.
Some people guessed that the explosion might have been an accident at Whitehawk Base.
But most people didn't believe it. After all, it was the strongest naval base in all of Celine. There shouldn't be a problem easily.
When he arrived at school, Lin Sheng quickly entered the classroom.
The other students were also discussing the explosion the night before in low voices.
Some of them had computers at home and could surf the internet. They were more well-informed and were discussing the various posts they had seen on the internet in low voices.
There were all kinds of guesses, but it was said that all the posts were deleted and banned within a short period of time.
Lin Sheng sat in his seat and quietly flipped through the textbooks. For some reason, his learning speed seemed to have increased recently.
The study plan he had set up previously only took two-thirds of the time to complete.
"Hey, did you hear the explosion last night?" Shen Yan, who was sitting in front of him, turned around and asked.
But she seemed to be different from the other students. She didn't have a sense of excitement and novelty, but was more composed.
She looked a little different from the usual Shen Yan.
Lin Sheng glanced at her.
"I heard it."
"What do you think?" Shen Yan paused and continued to ask. "Do you really think the fireworks warehouse exploded?"
"Whether it's true or not, what does that have to do with us?" Lin Sheng asked. "Studying well is your biggest task at this stage."
"But don't you think that the current government is too weak?" Shen Yan said indignantly.
"I'm not interested in these things," Lin Sheng said lightly.
The corruption of the upper echelons of Celine was not something that happened in a day or two.
There were many things that everyone knew, but they just didn't say it out loud.
"But …" Shen Yan still wanted to say something. But when she saw Lin Sheng's expression, she suddenly froze.
She could tell that Lin Sheng was really not interested. It was not a taboo.
Soon, the foreign language teacher walked in, and the bell rang, officially starting today's class.
Lin Sheng's course progress had already surpassed the teacher's teaching progress, so he simply took the test paper and exercise set and simulated it himself.
When he was tired, he would meditate on the runes of the Ashen Seal.
The Ashen Seal seemed to be stuck at a bottleneck. When the defense increased to about twice the previous test, it completely stopped.
After that, no matter how he meditated, the defensive power of the rune did not change.
He guessed that perhaps the Ashen Seal had reached its limit.
After all, it was just an Ashen Seal, and the Holy Sanctum had more than one Ashen Seal rune.
If an Ashen Seal could be so powerful, the Holy Sanctum would have conquered Blackfeather City long ago.
She went to class, ate, rested, and continued with class.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened throughout the day.
After school in the afternoon, Lin Sheng carried his bag and walked out of the school alone.
From afar, he saw Shen Yan and two other young girls standing at the entrance of an alley across the street.
The three of them seemed to be whispering something.
From afar, it looked like a very normal student socializing.
Lin Sheng was about to leave when he suddenly saw a black car slowly stop in front of Shen Yan and the other two.
The three girls quickly got into the car.
The black car started up again and left into the distance.
Lin Sheng squinted his eyes and stood at the school gate for a while before turning around to hail a taxi and head to the club.
Shen Yan was hiding something.
As her best friend, and with the mind of an adult, he quickly deduced some clues from her.
But there were some things that he did not want to care about, and could not.
…
…
Ironfist Club, shooting range.
Russell held the latest Lanvin 13 black handgun, loaded with eight rounds, and stood solemnly opposite Lin Sheng.
"Master Lin, are you sure you want me to shoot you? Lanvin 13's penetrating power is much stronger than the average Black Shark handgun. It's not a joke if you get shot. "
"Why do you have so much nonsense to say? It's just a dye bullet. You make it sound like it's real. "Xia Yin was speechless.
Lin Sheng smiled.
"Let's start, it's just practice."
He had only killed three of Sir Kaarman's adopted children who were at least Level Two, and they were all strong humanoid monsters like Annie.
The memory fragments he had obtained also contained a large amount of experience and instincts in the field of combat weapons.
Among them, what Lin Sheng valued the most was the training memory of dodging arrows.
The three adopted children of Sir Kaarman had received comprehensive training, not only in horsemanship, archery, but also in dodging long-range attacks.
While what Lin Sheng got was just a memory fragment, he had more or less acquired some training instincts in this area.
"Then I'll start?" Russell said loudly.
"Go ahead." Lin Sheng nodded.
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, Russell opened fire with the pistol in his hand.
Almost reflexively, Lin Sheng leaned to the side. The two of them were ten meters apart, and the moment Russell pulled the trigger, he began to move.
The silver metal wall behind him exploded with a small red blob.
It was proof that the dye bullet had missed.
"He dodged it!" Xia Yin could not help but clap.
The few members standing at the door applauded as well, as if they were the ones who dodged it.
The strongest among them, Sarroux, had once been forced into a corner by Russell's gun skills.
Now that Lin Sheng had dodged it, the crowd became excited.
"It's not over yet!" Russell's wrist moved slightly, and the muzzle fired continuously.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Lin Sheng dodged left and right, but he still could not dodge all of them. Four dye bullet marks appeared on his body.
The bullets themselves did not have much lethality. They were only used as practice bullets for specialized training.
After being hit, the corresponding area would be dyed with the unique color of the bullet.
This meant that he had been hit once.
Lin Sheng stopped, and looked at the red bullet marks on his body.
"Clean it up and come again!"
He had made up his mind this time, and was going to officially start dodging training. Since the Ashen Seal had reached its limit.
Then to fight against firearms, he had to start from other aspects.
The Ironfist Club was now on the right track. The incident with Wang Yue had made the members have a deeper understanding of their own influence.
However, this realization seemed to have caused the atmosphere in the club to start to make people uncomfortable.
The dodging training went on for half an hour, and Lin Sheng could not take it anymore.
The biggest drain of dodging training was that he had to be highly focused, and pay attention to Russell's every move.
This also meant that he had to be highly focused for a continuous period of time. It was fine if it was short, but as time went on, his already low stamina would be depleted.
After all, he was just an ordinary high school student who had just started training. Aside from Sacred Blood and the Ashen Seal, he was not as strong as the others in the club.
After thanking Russell, Lin Sheng changed his clothes before dinner, and took a taxi home.
It was night again, and it was also the time he was most looking forward to.
The box that he had obtained earlier was still in his arms. Whether or not the box contained the knowledge he wanted, he would only know after he opened it.
