The Growth of a God
Chapter 820 - 2: Extreme Ascetic
Night falls, near the Lu’an University graduate dormitory.
Crowds of college students are moving towards the multimedia classroom, excitedly discussing the upcoming evening lecture along the way.
It is said that the school has specially invited a professor from abroad to ensure the smooth conduct of this lecture.
Such extra courses are not uncommon at Lu’an University, covering a wide range of fields.
The reason this evening lecture is drawing so much student interest.
Is entirely due to the foreign professor being a seasoned psychology expert, extremely skilled in hypnosis.
According to the currently published course schedule, this professor will invite several students on stage to cooperate in demonstrating hypnosis during the lecture.
Even though we are now in the internet era, witnessing a live performance by a hypnosis master is still highly attractive.
"Hypnosis, huh?"
Li Hao originally did not intend to attend this evening lecture.
However, no matter how outstanding his performance has been lately, he is still just a freshman.
For freshmen, there’s no reason to miss any major classes arranged by the department.
Furthermore, the class advisor clearly understands Li Hao’s lazy personality and specifically emphasized that he must attend when issuing the notice.
Additionally, considering Li Hao’s standing among the department professors, the class advisor assigned him some extra assistant work.
"Didn’t expect you to be interested in psychology courses as well?"
As soon as Xu Hui stepped into the multimedia classroom, she saw Li Hao arranging seating for the students.
Being a graduate student in the department, Xu Hui actually had the option not to attend this evening lecture.
However, personally, Xu Hui is interested in anything related to the mysterious, and hypnosis barely counts as one of them.
"I’m not interested in this lecture, but I am a freshman."
Looking up expressionlessly at Xu Hui, Li Hao said lightly.
"Besides, too many people are attending this lecture, so the department arranged seating in advance."
"Graduate student seats are over there..."
"But it looks like there aren’t many people here."
Following the direction of Li Hao’s finger, Xu Hui saw familiar faces scattered together, indeed not as lively as other areas.
"It’s okay, I’m used to the quiet anyway."
After giving Li Hao a slight smile, Xu Hui did not bother much and turned to take her seat.
Seeing this, Li Hao’s roommate happily came over.
"You don’t seem to dislike that senior so much?"
Giving a direct eye roll to his roommate, Li Hao pushed him onto the seat next to him.
"If you have time to gossip about these things, you’d be better off securing good seats for the guys."
"Regardless, I’ve arranged the best seats for you all..."
"If you lose these seats because of your gossiping, don’t blame me later."
The "guys" Li Hao referred to are, of course, his other roommates.
During university, classmates are merely acquaintances who attend classes together, with no further interaction once the class ends.
Only roommates stay mixed together whether class is in session or not.
Especially among boys, unless they are particularly annoying, it’s easy to become good friends in various senses.
"Tsk, look at you getting all worked up; I was just saying."
"Remember to sit here once you’ve arranged everything. I’ll save you a seat."
Sitting down abruptly on an empty seat, the roommate waved at Li Hao with a smile and took out his phone to start playing.
......................................................
Meanwhile, outside Lu’an University.
"They really are a troublesome bunch."
Ruan An frowned as she looked at the bustling university in the distance, her mind inexplicably irritable.
To be honest, Ruan An admits she somewhat underestimated those stowaways who secretly entered the country.
Though they have extreme beliefs, their skills are undoubtedly outstanding.
Throughout this pursuit, Ruan An has caught and killed only a few of the stowaways.
The rest basically followed Xu Hui’s trail to Lu’an City.
With no other option, Ruan An had to resort to the simplest, most primitive method of laying in wait.
As long as she guards Lu’an University, Ruan An refuses to believe those fanatics can snatch Xu Hui away right under her nose.
Yes, that’s what Ruan An originally thought.
However, when Ruan An saw the situation at Lu’an University today, she realized the difficulty of this matter.
Theoretically, there are rarely outsiders on a university campus.
Especially those with Central Asian appearance like the fanatics, they are glaringly conspicuous at Lu’an University.
But today’s evening lecture attracted many outsiders, turning Lu’an University into a mixed crowd.
Ruan An keenly realized that this situation is highly likely orchestrated by those fanatics.
"The situation is spiraling out of control..."
Silently, Yazi appeared beside Ruan An wearing a hoodie.
At this moment, Yazi was dressed quite fashionably in a trench coat with a hood.
As if he were just a regular person at Lu’an University to watch the bustle.
"I’ve notified the Lu’an 749th Bureau and Institute 507, and they’ve started moving."
When he reached this point, Yazi’s tone paused slightly.
"Additionally, I’ve received information from He Bo; it seems he’s figured out the true form of Xu Hui’s ’Mythical Armament.’
Hearing this, Ruan An turned to look at Yazi in surprise.
"He Bo? Didn’t he return to his small county?"
"Also, how did He Bo come to know about this?"
With a slightly embarrassed grin, Yazi explained in a low voice, lacking confidence.
"I told him about it; his connections are widespread, and he has many means."
"According to what was relayed, the ’Mythical Armament’ Xu Hui holds should be the Magic Ring from Aladdin’s story."
"The one that can summon an Elf and protect its bearer."
With a helpless glare at Yazi, Ruan An tried to keep herself calm and asked.
"Anything else? Is there anything else you’re hiding from me?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"While I can still control my temper, you’d best confess everything."
Raising both hands in surrender, Yazi quickly shook his head in denial.
"No more! This time definitely no more!"
"I’ve even sent people to verify the identities of the fanatics, basically confirming He Bo’s information is accurate."
"Because among those fanatics are ascetics from an (unnamable) belief (unnamable) system."
"The kind of ascetic firmly believing they’ve achieved supernatural feats, capable of obtaining Extraordinary Power."
