Chapter 57: The Outside World Is Too Dangerous! From Today On, I'll Be a Shut-In!

Chapter 57: The Outside World Is Too Dangerous! From Today On, I'll Be a Shut-In!

In the boys' dormitory, Lin Tianming lay on his bed like a salted fish, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

He had just finished the morning's training session and hadn't felt too tired at first. However, once he returned to his dormitory, Lin Tianming realized how exhausted he was from Jiang Han's training.

Today's training was the most exhausting session since he started school. It included level-up training, special training for the God's Hand copying and plundering abilities, and potential development training for his spiritual ascension.

The intensity and volume of the three types of training were maxed out. At this moment, he was physically and mentally drained to the extreme.

His roommate, Chu Yunfei, saw him lying on the bed with a lifeless look and teased him.

"What happened to you today? Why are you so weak? Did you and that senior last night... hehehe!"

Lin Tianming glared at Chu Yunfei, who was making sarcastic remarks. "Get lost! I didn't do anything with her. It's just that Teacher Jiang Han's training today was all devilish training, and it exhausted me!"

Being good brothers in the same dorm, Chu Yunfei and Lin Tianming were very relaxed with each other after a few days of getting along.

"Have you had lunch? I'm about to go eat. Want me to bring you a meal?" Chu Yunfei asked.

Lin Tianming, not to be outdone, replied, "My good son, then I'll trouble you to bring me one!"

"Wow, Tianming, you actually have the nerve to order me around when you need a favor. What do you want to eat?"

Chu Yunfei didn't take it seriously. It was normal for boys to joke around and call each other sons.

Lin Tianming laughed and said, "Just bring me the same thing you get!"

"Alright, but if you don't like it, it's not my problem!"

With that, Chu Yunfei left the dorm.

Lin Tianming continued to lie on the bed like a salted fish. After a while, his phone beeped with a message notification.

He picked up his phone and saw it was a voice message from Ye Qingxue.

"Brother Tianming, I'm sorry! The teacher in charge of our ice-element class went over time, so I couldn't come to find you after class or send you a message to have lunch together. Are you still available now?"

Ye Qingxue was his only girlfriend with a 100% affection rating. Although Lin Tianming was very tired now, he wanted to have lunch with her to strengthen their relationship.

Just as he was about to reply to Ye Qingxue, he received another message from Wang Yanran.

"Sorry, little junior, I scared you last night. But I really didn't mean to hurt you. To make it up to you, I'll treat you to some delicious food outside of school at noon today. I'm already downstairs at your dormitory. Remember to come down after your training with Teacher Jiang Han!"

"What! Wang Yanran is already downstairs?"

At a time when he was exhausted from Jiang Han's training, and she came directly to block him at the dormitory entrance, Lin Tianming was stressed out.

Although he had copied Jiang Han's super forbidden spell Purple Thunder Shocking Heaven, he was now too exhausted to use any skills and was extremely weak.

He couldn't afford to be caught by her now!

"Senior Sister Yanran, sorry, I already have plans for lunch today, and my evening is also fully booked. Let's reschedule for another day!"

After sending this message to Wang Yanran, Lin Tianming immediately sent another message to Chu Yunfei: "If you run into that senior from last night at the entrance, don't tell her I'm back in the dorm! Also, don't mention you're bringing food for me!"

Receiving Lin Tianming's message, Chu Yunfei chuckled to himself, "Looks like that senior was pretty fierce last night. Tianming got scared!"

Assuming something must have happened between Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran last night, Chu Yunfei replied, "I know what you're up to. Don't worry, I got it. I'll make sure you're well-rested before you meet her again!"

Lin Tianming ignored Chu Yunfei's wild guesses and continued to reply to Ye Qingxue.

"Qingxue, I've already eaten, and I'm busy tonight, so I can't join you."

"Brother Tianming, are you mad at me?"

"Of course not. It's just that I'm really busy today. Don't overthink it. I'll definitely spend time with you tomorrow!"

"Promise?"

"Promise!"

Lin Tianming originally planned to spend time with Ye Qingxue, but considering his extremely weak state and the danger of running into Wang Yanran, he decided to stay in the dorm and rest for the day.

Having finally resolved to spend the day as a shut-in, someone else tried to lure him out.

He glanced at his phone and saw it was a message from Mo Jinghong.

"Junior Lin Tianming, want to meet today? I happen to be free and would like to get to know you better!"

"No, I already have plans with someone else!"

After refusing Mo Jinghong's invitation, Lin Tianming received another message from Feng Lan.

"Tianming, how about another sparring session this afternoon?"

"No way!"

He was too exhausted to use any skills, and sparring with Feng Lan would be like asking for death. He definitely wasn't going.

Not long after refusing Feng Lan, Lin Tianming received a friend request.

It was from Lei Dong, whom he defeated yesterday. The note attached to the request read:

"I'm Lei Dong. I was careless yesterday. Let's have another match today!"

Instead of rejecting Lei Dong's friend request, Lin Tianming left it pending.

"These enemies sure know how to pick the right time to seek revenge. They all want to come after me today!"

The outside world was too dangerous. Today, Lin Tianming just wanted to be a shut-in and stay safely in his dorm.

"Tianming, I'm back, and I brought your lunch!"

After a long wait, his good roommate Chu Yunfei finally returned with lunch. Starving, Lin Tianming sat up and took the food from him.

Seeing Lin Tianming eating on the bed, Chu Yunfei commented, "Why don't you come down and sit to eat?"

"Today's training was too exhausting. I'll just eat on the bed," Lin Tianming replied.

Lin Tianming sat steadfastly on the bed, devouring his lunch.

Watching Lin Tianming eat ravenously, Chu Yunfei chuckled.

"Tianming, I ran into that senior who was looking for you last night at the entrance!"

Lin Tianming asked, "What did you tell her?"

Chu Yunfei replied honestly, "You told me not to say you were in the dorm, so I followed your instructions!"

Relieved by Chu Yunfei's answer, Lin Tianming said, "Good job, Yunfei. This time you were reliable!"

"What do you mean 'this time'? I created two chances for you to be alone with that senior!"

Lin Tianming ignored Chu Yunfei's wild imagination about his relationship with Wang Yanran and continued eating.

"But seriously, after I told her you weren't in the dorm, she stayed downstairs even after I finished eating and came back. She caught me and asked why I only brought back one meal. It scared me!"

Learning that Wang Yanran was still downstairs, Lin Tianming was alarmed. "What did you tell her?"

"Don't worry, I'm quick-witted! I said the cafeteria was crowded, and the lady at the serving window had some urgent matters, which delayed the meal."

Chu Yunfei's quick thinking eased Lin Tianming's worry.

"Good, Yunfei. Next time I'll treat you to something nice!"

Chu Yunfei smiled with satisfaction. "You said it! Next time you're treating! But seriously, are you really going to leave that senior hanging? Aren't you going to check on her?"

"Let her stay there. She'll probably leave after a while!"

Today, Lin Tianming wasn't going out no matter what!

He was completely drained, and even if his skills were off cooldown, he couldn't use them. The outside world was too dangerous, and if another goddess reborn came to kill him, he would be defenseless in his weakened state.

Today, staying in the dorm as a shut-in was the safest choice.

No one could lure him out!
