Chapter 2 - The Aloof School Beauty Is Reborn!
Because no one could have imagined that the usually cold and aloof school beauty, Leng Qingyue, would actually smile at Lin Daotian, a super-rich second-generation student, and gently say, “Good luck.” This was an unprecedented event!
Did the sun rise in the west today?
The young man, Xiao Qiang, nudged Lin Daotian with his elbow, both envious and excited as he said, “Brother Lin, when did you get together with the school beauty?”
Lin Daotian looked confused: “Did that really happen? I have no idea!”
“Don’t lie to me! If you two aren’t involved, why would she only say ‘good luck’ to you? And that smile… Damn, I’ve never seen her smile so gently at any other guy!”
Lin Daotian weakly argued, “I’m not lying to you, I seriously have nothing to do with her!”
Although they had been classmates for three years, they’d hardly exchanged more than a handful of words. Leng Qingyue was always proud and distant, treating everyone coldly, especially the wealthy kids, to whom she never gave any face.
As a super-rich second-generation kid himself, Lin Daotian naturally wouldn’t throw himself at someone who wasn’t interested. Their relationship could only be described as that of familiar strangers.
Now, Lin Daotian had no clue why Leng Qingyue, who had always been so aloof, would suddenly approach him and tell him, “Good luck.”
This was ridiculous beyond belief!
At that moment, Lin Daotian felt as though there were pins and needles on his back.
When he turned around, he realized it was Zhang Kuang, glaring at him with murderous eyes, his hammer nearly crushed in his grip!
Many other boys were also looking on with jealousy, their eyes filled with a devouring intensity.
Lin Daotian was at a loss for words and could only mutter to himself, “How did I end up in this situation out of nowhere?”
At that moment, under the gaze of everyone present, the school beauty Leng Qingyue ascended to the summoning platform.
As the platform activated, a sword soared through the air, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire schoolyard.
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
“Look! Nine colors!”
“Leng Qingyue summoned a nine-colored divine sword!”
“This talent is unbelievable!”
“Our school has a true prodigy now!”
…
Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, Leng Qingyue remained calm and composed, showing no excitement.
Only when her gaze fell on Lin Daotian, who stood equally shocked below the platform, did her eyes reveal a trace of an emotion hard to describe, along with a fighting spirit. “Lin Daotian, I’m back! This time, I won’t be left behind by you. I’ll catch up for sure!”
In reality, she was a regressor, returning from 500 years in the future.
In her previous life, she had also obtained the Nine-Colored Divine Sword, named “Solitary Moon,” at this very moment. Back then, she had been full of ambition, thinking her life would be one of grandeur and legend!
However, what she never expected was that a figure would always stand ahead of her, one she could never surpass!
That person was Lin Daotian!
When she enrolled in the Divine Martial University, he had already become a professor at the university, befriending powerful figures.
When she became famous in Jiangnan, he had already killed a demon king, becoming known as the greatest prodigy of all time.
When she became the top prodigy, shattering the skies with her sword, he had already defeated both demon gods and overlords, standing invincible in the world.
When she ascended to become the number one female Sword Saint of Earth, he had already left the planet, challenging the myriad races of the stars and conquering the cosmos.
When she left Eaarth, he had already become the strongest under the stars, leading billions of star domains and being revered as the Master of All Races.
…
He was too strong!
Too terrifying!
No matter how hard she tried, she could never catch up to him!
Instead, the gap between them only widened, leaving her in despair!
“This time, it won’t happen again!”
Leng Qingyue stared at the figure in the audience with fighting spirit: “With my extra life experience, I will rise rapidly! Even if I can’t surpass you, I definitely won’t fall behind! This era is yours, but it’s also mine!”
At this moment, the light from the divine sword faded, and it landed in Leng Qingyue’s hand.
The teacher in charge of the summoning ceremony smiled kindly and said, “Student Leng Qingyue, congratulations on summoning the Nine-Colored Divine Sword. Getting into the Divine Martial University should be no problem for you! Everyone’s curious about this sword. Could you introduce it to us?”
“Of course!”
Leng Qingyue held up the sword and said, “My sword is called Solitary Moon. It’s indestructible, sharp enough to cut through hair with a breeze, and can slice through anything! If it evolves to its final form, it could even cleave the moon in two!”
Exclamations rose from the crowd.
“It can split the moon in half!”
“Amazing!”
…
Zhang Kuang clenched his fists in excitement, exclaiming, “What a powerful sword, and what a powerful Qingyue! Only a strong and beautiful woman like her is worthy of someone like me, Zhang Kuang!”
Lin Daotian curled his lips, “You? Worthy of what? A hammer?”
Zhang Kuang: “…”
On the stage, the teacher smiled and said, “Thank you, Student Leng, for your introduction! It’s getting late, please step down and take a rest.”
“Yes, teacher!”
Leng Qingyue nodded, holding her sword as she gracefully descended from the summoning platform, returning to her original spot to meditate with closed eyes.
Throughout the entire process, she remained composed and calm, impressing everyone with her grace and humility.
After her, several more students stepped forward.
However, most only summoned one or two-colored items, which were quite ordinary, leaving the crowd a little disappointed.
“It’s my turn now!” Lin Daotian exhaled deeply.
The dazzling performances by Zhang Kuang and Leng Qingyue had made him feel immense pressure, causing him to hesitate in stepping up.
But now, as fewer people remained, he knew he had to go sooner or later, so he straightened up and walked confidently forward.
Along the way, he received many words of encouragement.
“Go Lin! You’ve got this!”
“Lin, we’re rooting for your success!”
…
Even Leng Qingyue, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them and stared intently at Lin Daotian as he ascended the stage, her gaze filled with a subtle sense of expectation, as if she was witnessing the beginning of a great era.
By now, Lin Daotian had nervously stepped onto the summoning platform.
The teacher overseeing the ceremony smiled reassuringly, “Don’t be nervous, Student Lin! The summoning platform will call forth the most suitable entity for you based on your abilities. You just need to stay calm and wait.”
Lin Daotian remained tense. “I understand, teacher!”
“Alright, let’s begin!”
As the teacher activated the platform, brilliant light erupted from it.
Lin Daotian bathed in the golden glow, appearing almost divine.
Suddenly, the space in front of Lin Daotian tore open, and from within the crack tumbled out a round, fluffy, black-and-white creature, rolling straight into his arms.
Lin Daotian stared at the sleeping, chubby creature in his arms, utterly stunned.
“T-this… isn’t this a panda?”
“I actually summoned a panda from my past life?!”
