He crushed the red and blue mixture and allowed the energy to enter his body.

In just a few seconds, Lin Xiu felt that his entire body was much more relaxed. The original weakness, dispirited, and other negative effects had disappeared.

It was as if he had been reborn, and there was an indescribable joy.

However, Lin Xiu still felt that it was a pity. This potion had a recovery of 500 points, but his current HP was only 320 points, and his mana was only a pitiful 70 points.

Therefore, using this potion made him feel like he was using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken.

“Thank you!”

After thanking the Secretary, Lin Xiu looked up at the time and realized that it was already 12:20 in the afternoon.

Due to the help of the six teaching assistants, there were no deaths in the underground cave adventure organized by the Fuyuan Academy. Only a few were injured.

However, after receiving the teacher’s meticulous treatment, the injured quickly recovered.

During the two-hour trip to the Catacombs, everyone had more or less gained something.

Whether it was the materials and equipment dropped by the monsters or the increase in their proficiency in actual combat, for most of the people present, this dungeon trip was not in vain.

Of course, there were still some people in the adventurer team who did not manage to level up. However, the most miserable ones were still Wan Zhuoyun and Ding Shiyu, who had already boarded the bus and were too ashamed to face anyone.

During their two-hour adventure in the Catacombs, they had killed quite a number of monsters and obtained a portion of materials and equipment.

However, in order to eliminate Lin Xiu in the Catacombs, they bought many potions to recover and increase their attributes.

The cost alone was tens of thousands.

Wan Zhuoyun even had his equipment worth tens of thousands taken away by Lin Xiu, it could be said that he had lost all his face in front of everyone.

When he thought about how he had left the instance dungeon in a sorry state and how everyone had stared at him with strange gazes, Wan Zhuoyun wished he could find a hole to hide in.

Especially when the two of them saw through the Heart Summoning Mirror that Lin Xiu had actually killed the Hidden Boss, their hearts were so jealous that they were about to bleed!

“Lin Xiu! If I don’t kill you, I can’t dispel the hatred in my heart!”

Clenching his fists tightly, looking at Lin Xiu who was surrounded by the crowd, Wan Zhuoyun gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered.

However, Lin Xiu did not notice the change in the other party’s expression at all.

He was still surrounded by the crowd, like a moon surrounded by stars.

“Lin Xiu, I saw that your actual combat performance in the Catacombs was not bad. I wonder if you are interested in joining the Close Combat Practicioner Special Training Class at the martial arts field?”

The more Secretary Feng looked at Lin Xiu, the more pleasing he felt.

Especially when Lin Xiu knew that he was facing a Hidden Boss, he still dared to attack it. His personality of boldness and daring to fight were very suitable for close combat development.

Faced with Secretary Feng’s olive branch, Lin Xiu was somewhat flattered.

Who did not know the name of Secretary Feng of Fuyuan College? He was one of the few Class-holders in Linyue City who used dual blades to fight.

Not only was the other party extremely powerful, but his judgment and combat experience on the battlefield were also extremely refined. Even in the entire Linyue City, Secretary Feng’s strength was definitely at the top of the pyramid.

To be able to be chosen by such a big shot, Lin Xiu was also very excited in his heart.

However, he was very clear about his own fighting style and class characteristics.

Unspecialized Classes relied on all sorts of fancy skills to achieve the effect of quantitative change causing qualitative change.

Originally, Unspecialized characters could only learn the basic and advanced skills of the major Classes.

If he abandoned long-range and magic skills, wouldn’t that be a waste of his innate talents?

“Thank you for your praise, Secretary Feng. I’m very grateful for this, but because the Class I awakened isn’t suitable for pure melee combat, I hope you can forgive me for rejecting your request.”

Lin Xiu lowered his eyes and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Seeing this, Secretary Feng could not help but shake his head. He felt that it was a pity.

With Lin Xiu’s battle talent, if he could abandon distracting thoughts and choose pure close combat, the increase in his strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

Unfortunately, the other party did not have such thoughts.

“It’s okay. I’m just giving you a suggestion to become stronger. It’s up to you to decide.”

After saying that, Secretary Feng no longer paid attention to the other party. Instead, he turned around and said something to the Principal before immediately getting on the nearest bus.

“Alright… It’s getting late. Students, hurry up and get on the bus. The afternoon class will continue as usual,” the Principal ordered loudly, and the surrounding students immediately walked towards the bus.

The surrounding people gradually dispersed. Just as Lin Xiu was about to get into the bus, he noticed that Jin Zhengmin was sizing him up with a complicated gaze.

However, Lin Xiu did not care about the other party’s actions.

His attitude toward Jin Zhengmin changed after the Awakening Ceremony.

Through what Wan Zhuoyun had revealed, Lin Xiu could basically confirm that Jin Zhengmin was definitely involved in the incident where he almost failed to Awaken.

At 12:30 in the afternoon, everyone got on the bus that they came from.

The bus started up with a buzzing sound, and soon, the town was restored to its usual order.

The mercenaries who lived here often entered the Frost Cave dungeon again and again, relying on the materials and equipment they brought out to exchange for funds to increase their strength.

Apart from that, they also operated a business for escorting. Usually, three people would bring the client into the dungeon, and all the experience points would be divided by four people. However, the equipment and materials would be taken by the client alone.

What the mercenaries needed to do was to protect the client’s safety and provide him with thoughtful service.

However, this escort service was not cheap. Usually, only rich kids would choose to bring one or two mercenaries into the dungeon.

…

The scenery outside the window rapidly receded. Lin Xiu sat at the window seat at the back of the bus, admiring the beautiful natural scenery while listening to the students in the bus excitedly flaunt the things they encountered in the underground dungeon and the equipment they dropped.

The content of the discussion between the students had nothing to do with Lin Xiu. However, sitting by the window, he could still see the respect in the students’ eyes through the occasional glance.

Half an hour later, the bus finally returned to the city center.

The surrounding natural scenery became increasingly scarce, replaced by the steel jungle that belonged only to the big city.

The bus finally stopped at the entrance of Fuyuan College, and the students filed out to the cafeteria.

As for Lin Xiu, because he had eaten a few pieces of bread in the cave, he was not hungry.

He planned to use his free time during lunch break to sell the gold coins and a few pieces of White Slate equipment dropped from killing monsters. At that time, he would buy some materials and equipment needed for forging.

He would try to deal with all the spoils of war before he returned at night.

After all, each person’s equipment slot only had 100 empty slots. Some of the larger equipment or materials would take up several slots.
