Chapter 155 Learning from Seniors
Four hours later.
Unlike the other bustling club buildings on campus, the office building of the Court of Justice club was filled with a cold and oppressive silence.
At the entrance to the second training room, Zhang Yating's cousin, Zhang Yalan, stood quietly.
She was tall and slender with a serene demeanor. Dressed in the standard uniform of the court society, she stood upright with a professional and calm expression.
The red indicator light above the door was flashing silently, indicating that something was happening inside and should not be disturbed.
Finally, the indicator light turned from red to green.
"Whoosh—"
The heavy alloy door slid open with a click, revealing a spacious and clean interior.
Zhang Yalan stepped inside and saw a young man in a black combat uniform standing in the center of the training room. His breathing was long and shallow, almost inaudible, yet his aura was like a peerless, deadly sword sheathed, its sharpness concealed within.
"Vice President," Zhang Yalan stopped at a safe distance and bowed slightly, "I have some work to report."
The young man slowly opened his eyes; they were deep, cold pools, devoid of any emotion.
He was Si Linguang, the vice president of the Tribunal Society.
"Speak." He uttered a single word calmly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority.
Zhang Yalan immediately began her report, speaking at a measured pace and clearly: "In the past week, the club's anonymous tip-off email address received a total of twenty-seven tip-offs. And in the four hours this afternoon, more than thirty more were added."
Si Linguang's face remained expressionless.
Zhang Yalan continued, "The contents of these whistleblower letters are highly consistent, all pointing to the same person—Lin Qiye, the top freshman this year."
Upon hearing this name, Si Lingguang glanced at Zhang Yalan with his usually calm and collected eyes.
"The report mainly focuses on three points," Zhang Yalan continued. "First, his strength has increased at an abnormal rate in a short period of time, which is not in line with common sense; second, the source of the drug he used in the final is unknown, and its effects far exceed the scope of known technology; third, based on the above two points, the whistleblower suspects that he has been corrupted by the abyss or is the product of some forbidden experiment, and suggests that the Tribunal conduct a thorough investigation to ensure the safety of Galaxy Martial Arts University."
After listening to the report, Si Linguang asked, "Were they all anonymous?"
Zhang Yalan's heart skipped a beat. Although she maintained her composure, a hint of panic flashed involuntarily in her eyes.
She composed herself, quickly regaining her professional demeanor, and replied with her head bowed, "Yes, Vice President. All whistleblower reports are submitted anonymously."
Si Linguang did not speak again.
His gaze moved from her face, slowly descending to the metal name tag on her chest, which bore her name and title.
[Officer - Zhang Yalan]
He merely glanced at her calmly, without any extra expression, yet Zhang Yalan felt as if he had been completely seen through, a chill rising from her spine.
"understood."
Si Linguang nodded, withdrew his gaze, and resumed his businesslike indifference.
"This matter is of utmost importance, as it involves the top student of this year's freshman class and has a significant impact. I need to consult with the supervising teacher and the club president before making any further decisions."
"This matter must not be disclosed beforehand."
Zhang Yalan quickly replied, "Yes!"
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately bowed and then turned and quickly retreated.
Only when the heavy alloy door slowly closed behind her, blocking out that cold gaze, did Zhang Yalan realize that a fine layer of cold sweat had seeped out on her back.
Standing before the vice president, she felt not only the pressure of martial arts will, but also a mental scrutiny, making her feel that all her little thoughts were exposed.
This kind of purely psychological pressure is far more suffocating than direct physical confrontation.
Inside the training room, Si Linguang stared at the tightly closed door, his deep eyes devoid of any emotion.
Zhang Yalan's information clearly appeared in his mind.
Zhang Yalan comes from the Zhang family of Yanshan. Her family business, "Yachen Biotechnology," is one of the important suppliers of the Chen Group. In the eyes of many, the Zhang family is almost equivalent to a vassal family of the Chen Group...
He pondered for a moment, then decided not to delve any further. Instead, he took out his personal terminal, dialed a number, and made a direct voice call.
beep - beep - beep -
The voice call rang for more than ten seconds, and just when Si Linguang thought the other party wouldn't answer, it was finally connected.
On the other end of the phone came a slightly hoarse, languid woman's voice.
"Little Aunt..."
"Si Lingguang, please address me by my title at school."
"Ahem...Teacher Si Qingwan."
"What is it?" The voice on the other end of the phone was unreadable.
"Uh, here's what happened..." Si Linguang briefly recounted the contents of the anonymous whistleblower letter and Zhang Yalan's report.
After listening to his story, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Just as Si Linguang thought she was about to give some kind of order, Si Qingwan simply said calmly:
"The president isn't here, so why don't you chair the meeting?"
"Your work efficiency is terrible."
"I personally made initial contact and conducted a preliminary investigation of Lin Qiye immediately after the freshman exams ended."
Si Qingwan's voice carried an undeniable air of authority:
"Lin Qiye has not been corrupted by the abyss."
"As for his so-called 'secrets,' those are the student's own adventures and privacy, and are not something our court should investigate."
Si Qingwan hung up the phone with Si Linguang, a playful smile playing on her lips.
……
On the other side, in training room 2202.
Om-!
With a clear and long gunshot, a blur of motion suddenly froze in mid-air.
Lin Qiye holstered his gun and stood upright, his posture as straight as a spear.
In the empty training room, the hard alloy floor was covered with shallow scratches and footprints, marks left by six hours of continuous drills.
He was shirtless, his muscles were smooth and explosive, and he looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water. Sweat slid down his angular face and dripped onto the scorching ground, evaporating instantly.
His thoughts sank into the system panel.
Basic marksmanship: Level 4 (0/400)
Just then, the door to the training room was pushed open with a "whoosh".
The person who came was Qin Xiaoxiao.
She was dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit and had come to ask her mentor, Lin Yuechan, for advice, but she never expected to see this scene when she opened the door.
Lin Qiye, the top freshman, practiced the most basic marksmanship shirtless and sweating profusely.
His gaze was intensely focused, as if only he and the spear in his hand existed in the world. His almost self-destructive madness and obsession shook Qin Xiaoxiao to her core.
Is this... the reason he became the top freshman?
Just as she was stunned, Lin Qiye was also startled by the sound of the door opening and subconsciously turned his head.
When his gaze fell on Qin Xiaoxiao and he saw her alluring, curvaceous body tightly wrapped in her combat uniform, the anger that he had just suppressed during his marksmanship training suddenly surged up again!
In that instant, the way he looked at Qin Xiaoxiao was filled with an undisguised, primal possessiveness!
Qin Xiaoxiao naturally caught his wolfish gaze, her pretty face flushed red instantly, and her heart skipped a beat.
However, the next second, an even stronger sense of vigilance instantly overwhelmed that hint of shyness.
As the pride of the Qin family, her future had already been planned out by her family.
The original plan was to enter the mysterious realm within three years and then cultivate the "Return to Origin Heart Method"!
She knew better than anyone that her virginity was her last trump card to use when her martial arts will encountered a bottleneck in the future, so that she could break through to a higher realm!
For this reason, she also studied with teacher Lin Yuechan, learning from a genius predecessor.
Before this, any romantic relationship between a man and a woman was enough to ruin her future in martial arts, and it was not allowed!
