Ruolin Mentor

The force of the palm strike caused the sturdy student's body to bow slightly before he was sent flying seven or eight meters upside down, landing on the ground with a muffled thud.

His body skidded along the ground for several meters before finally coming to a halt.

On the ground, the sturdy student struggled to get up, his face pale, his hands clutching his chest in pain.

In the blink of an eye, the battle had concluded, and the outcome was decided in an instant.

Many students had yet to fully process what had happened; the strong student's body was already hurtling through the air, leaving them momentarily staggered.

"Accepted, senior!" Lu Yunxiao spoke calmly as he retracted his palm. To him, dealing with a four-star fighter like the senior student was a matter of one move—why prolong the fight unnecessarily?

Lu Yunxiao's words resonated, and realization dawned upon many students. Lu Yunxiao's composed demeanor belied a shocking truth—defeating a four-star fighter with a single move. Just how fearsome was Lu Yunxiao's strength?

"This young man is truly remarkable!" A female student couldn't help but sigh, her eyes shining as she gazed at Lu Yunxiao.

"The freshman must be at least a four-star fighter himself, otherwise, Zhang Yuan wouldn't have been defeated. Such extraordinary talent!"

Another female student expressed her astonishment.

"Indeed! What an astonishing talent!" The sentiment was echoed among the other female students.

Listening to the hushed whispers around him, Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly. He took a step forward and turned his attention to the fallen sturdy student, inquiring gently, "Senior, are you alright? I didn't exert too much force, so you shouldn't be too hurt."

"I'm fine, you've won." The sturdy student struggled to rise. While Lu Yunxiao's palm had caused him discomfort, his injuries were mostly superficial. His internal organs and bones hadn't suffered much damage. He acknowledged his defeat.

"Senior, I apologize for my boldness, but don't underestimate the new students moving forward," Lu Yunxiao said softly, extending his right hand to help the struggling senior student up.

"Oh, I won't make the same mistake again. In reality, it's a general rule at Canaan College—old students aren't supposed to specifically target new students. I was once a newcomer here too," the strong student sighed, explaining.

"I understand that, but when there's oppression, there's bound to be resistance. New students also have their pride," Lu Yunxiao responded in a calm manner.

"I'm aware of that, I've come to realize it now," the strong student admitted, his expression tinged with bitterness.

Hearing this, Lu Yunxiao simply shrugged, withholding his judgment.

"It seems luck was on my side today; I've stumbled upon a little genius," another voice interrupted, capturing everyone's attention. A graceful figure slowly approached from the other side of the hall.

Dressed in an elegant green gown, her delicate face featured a soft smile, and her eyes sparkled with warmth and agility.

Appearing to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven, she exuded a mature charm, polished by the passage of time.

A beauty in her own right, though not quite as stunning as Yun Yun, she radiated a different kind of charm. Her gentle demeanor carried a unique allure.

"This young man possesses quite the talent. Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Ruo Lin. You can call me Instructor Ruo Lin," she said with a soft smile, her gaze fixed on Lu Yunxiao. His exceptional appearance and strength had left a strong impression on her; defeating Zhang Yuan and showcasing such terrifying talent was a rarity.

"Coincidence, host. You must understand that the responsibilities assigned to Canaan College's leading instructors are often consistent from year to year. This Ruolin instructor might oversee a large territory within the Gama Empire."

The system chimed in, explaining the situation to Lu Yunxiao.

"Ah, I see." Lu Yunxiao nodded in understanding.

For an institution like Canaan College, it was only natural to assign instructors to specific territories within each empire during enrollment. Therefore, encountering Instructor Ruo Lin wasn't entirely unexpected. The role she fulfilled would differ from one city to another, but it was all part of the normal process.

"I'm responsible for this year's enrollment in this region. We'll be spending time together as teacher and students. By the way, young genius, what's your name?" Instructor Ruo Lin inquired, a gentle smile gracing her lips as she directed her attention to Lu Yunxiao.

"I'll go by Lu Yunxiao, Instructor," he replied softly.

"Lu Yunxiao, a fine name." Instructor Ruo Lin smiled before shifting her gaze to Zhang Yuan. With a hint of concern, she asked, "Are you alright?"

Zhang Yuan's cheeks flushed slightly, but he smiled and responded, "I'm fine, younger brother was lenient. Thank you, Instructor, for your concern."

"Good to hear. Li Xun, round up all the freshmen outside," Instructor Ruo Lin instructed another male student nearby.

"Understood, Instructor." The student nodded eagerly, his face tinged with a rosy hue as he hurried out of the hall.

Observing him, Lu Yunxiao mused to himself, noting a curious detail: these male students seemed to hold a degree of admiration for Instructor Ruo Lin.

Is she truly that enchanting?

His gaze shifted back to Instructor Ruo Lin. Undoubtedly, she was beautiful, but she didn't quite compare to Yun Yun. In comparison, she fell short.

"Little genius, what are you observing?" Instructor Ruo Lin caught onto Lu Yunxiao's gaze and inquired with a smile.

"Just pondering some things. Instructor, you possess a captivating charm," Lu Yunxiao remarked with composure.

In response to Lu Yunxiao's words, a faint blush colored Instructor Ruo Lin's cheeks. She could discern the underlying implications in his statement—that the male students were charmed by her. However, she wasn't a young girl anymore; her maturity allowed her to suppress any residual shyness. She responded playfully, "Why, does our young genius understand these matters?".
