Chapter 24 Shocking Discovery

The alarm clock woke Lin Zhendong up from his meditation.

He opened his eyes and checked his body. He nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad, not bad. I recovered half of my energy in one night. It seems my previous estimation of taking two days to fully recover was correct.”

“It might be because I used up all my energy yesterday. The energy I’ve recovered seems to be a little more than before.”

At the thought of this, Lin Zhendong was happy. “Although it is better to use it at full energy, it is not impossible to use it at half energy.”

his Unable to hold it in any longer, he swung hand and unleashed the true [Wood Elemental Shadow].

In an instant, a pitch-black figure without facial features stood beside him.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this figure.

Lin Zhendong calmed down after he felt that he could control the figure. He circled the figure and sized it up.

“Yes, it has no facial features. I can’t even see its outline. It’s just a completely black shadow.”

“However, it can be touched and can be hard or soft. It can be converted between physical and virtual. It’s probably useful as an assassin. Tsk tsk, it doesn’t seem to be of much use.”

Lin Zhendong examined the black shadow with some disdain as he beeped.

There was no way he wouldn’t despise it. It was the result of devouring the assassin’s flesh, blood, hair, and bones!

If it weren’t for the fact that he had to use the skill more to level up, he wouldn’t have been willing to use the real [Wood Elemental Shadow] skill.

He tried to get the shadow to squeeze toothpaste and fill it with water. He immediately felt his energy and spiritual energy depleting rapidly.

“Wow! Just a slight movement consumes more energy than casting flames!”

“This can’t be supplemented! I can only put it on standby!”

With a thought, Lin Zhendong’s shadow disappeared under his feet and hid in his shadow.

Lin Zhendong nodded in satisfaction after sensing the consumption of his energy and spiritual energy.

In this standby state, the consumption could be ignored and replenished in a breath.

Seeing that he had wasted a lot of time, he immediately brushed his teeth, washed his face, and changed his clothes hurriedly.

Then, Lin Zhendong took his textbook and notes and left the room.

She had already taken two days off. It would not make sense if she did not go to school!

She hummed a song as she ran towards the city’s First High Street.

Along the way, they first met a few students wearing the uniforms of the First High School, and then slowly, they met more and more. Finally, there was a road full of students from the First High School.

The students’ chattering, the sirens of passing cars, the police whistling to ease the traffic, and the deafening music from the campus made the area extremely noisy.

Logically speaking, the high school department should be a dormitory for all students.

However, the people who had planned the city had a narrow vision. The First High School only occupied an area of about 5 acres, but there were more than 6,000 students in three grades. The classrooms were already tight, let alone the dormitories.

As for expansion? The surrounding area of the First City High School is either a variety of unit buildings or residential buildings. It’s impossible to expand in the city center.

However, a large piece of land near the city of South County’s border had been requisitioned for a new school’s construction.

In this regard, the students of First High School were now mourning the fate of their future juniors. Not to mention the traffic problems, just the general state of high school that only had a break every two weeks after boarding was enough to make these seniors who enjoyed the treatment of day school gloat.

Lin Zhendong hummed a song with a relaxed expression. He even threw his textbook aside and slowly followed the crowd of students.

Among the students, he didn’t look like a third-year candidate at all. Instead, he looked no different from a first-year student. He had a silly smile on his face.

However, there was nothing he could do. After all, Lin Zhendong was happy from the bottom of his heart.

He had a job, and the admission requirements of those universities that enroll appointees were low.

According to his experience, even if he lay flat and did nothing, he would not fail the college entrance examination.

He had a job, a university, a windfall, and a skill. What was there to be unhappy about? However, as the crowd turned around the corner, Lin Zhendong, who entered the sight of the First High School, suddenly stood rooted to the ground. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the school 100 meters away. Because he saw a transparent layer of light with red lines covering the entire school. “Lair?!” Lin Zhendong groaned helplessly. He did not expect that the lair would envelop his school! Why didn’t he notice it when he returned to school two days ago?

Lin Zhendong calmed himself down and looked at the transparent light shield and the few red lines that extended to the light shield. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

It was a newly born lair, a brand new lair that even the Special Protection Department’s monitoring agency had yet to discover.

His chip was amazing. It could even see a newly born lair.

After confirming that this lair had just been born, Lin Zhendong was completely reassured. The time from the discovery of the lair to the outbreak of the lair was no unified standard. It could be fast or slow.

But so far, the fastest outbreak took three months, and the slowest took more than ten years.

In other words, this lair would erupt after his college entrance examination at the earliest. Moreover, when the lair developed to a certain extent, such as when the transparent light shield turned blood-red, the Special Protection Department would rush over to crack, break, destroy, and develop.

Lin Zhendong knew this lair would not pose any danger, but he still felt a headache. Although the lair could appear anywhere at any time, it would be disgusting if it happened to appear at his alma mater.

After the lair was breached, the entire school would be gone. Although there was a new school in Yuannan County, it wasn’t the school that he had studied hard for three years.

In the future, if he wanted to reminisce about his high school days when he came back, there would be no place to reminisce! Just as Lin Zhendong was letting his imagination run wild, a red warning suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

With just a glance, his hair immediately stood on end. [Target is hostile (attention). Strength: A-rank]

Lin Zhendong didn’t dare to look at the target, but the chip had many functions. He didn’t need to look at the target. The chip marked the target’s location and focused on it like a video. They were on the top floor of the building hundreds of meters away from the school. Three people wearing hoods and black cloaks covered their faces and figures. The hostile one was the one on the left.

Lin Zhendong subconsciously let the chip scan the strength of the other two.

[Target is neither good nor evil (overlooking ants). Strength: S-rank]

[The target is neither good nor evil (all mortals). Strength: A-rank]

Lin Zhendong could not help but twitch his eyes. The black-robed man in the middle was S-rank? The two people beside him were also at A-rank.

It was the first time he had seen an S-rank existence. In the past, he had thought that an A-rank was super awesome! Looking at it now, Su Yan and Xiao Ye were nothing!

“Sh*t! Could it be that the super big shot of the Vodun Sect had made a move? That’s impossible!” Lin Zhendong’s mind was racing. He did not believe the Vodun Sect would send an S-rank big shot to deal with him. At this moment, a red warning appeared in his eyes again. The data on the left that had been hostile before changed: [Target is hostile (suspicious), strength: A-rank]

Lin Zhendong was shocked and quickly thought about why this mysterious guy was targeting him.
