Chapter 199
The night was as black as ink, and the lights on the sports field stretched people's shadows out long.
Comprehensive evaluation bonus points—to college freshmen, this stuff was like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Not to mention, getting to show your face in front of thousands of freshmen in the whole school—what kind of glory was that?
After a brief silence, a female voice rang out.
"Sir! I'd like to try!"
Lin Yu shot up like a rocket, straightening her back. She stared at the drill instructor with burning eyes, her face written all over with determination to win.
She deliberately adjusted her stance, sucking in her stomach to make herself look even more upright.
The instructor looked at her with some surprise and nodded.
"Commendable courage. Anyone else?"
Lin Yu turned her head, sweeping a provocative gaze toward Ye Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd.
The latter had her head down, boredly plucking at the blades of grass beside her hand, seemingly turning a deaf ear to the commotion over here.
She was even secretly yawning, a teardrop forming at the corner of her eye.
Lin Yu sneered in her heart.
Who are you trying to fool?
A chance to show off like this, I don't believe you're not tempted.
Since you're playing dead, don't blame me for stepping on you to climb to the top.
Ye Zhenzhen was once again innocently caught in the crossfire.
"Instructor!"
Lin Yu shouted loudly again.
"I've practiced dance before, and I have good physical coordination. I can definitely handle the position of squad leader! I will put in many times more effort than anyone else!"
This impassioned declaration immediately won the applause of quite a few boys nearby.
The instructor was a straightforward guy and ate this right up, a trace of approval showing on his face.
"Good! Very spirited! Then I'll put you on the shortlist for now."
Lin Yu proudly raised her chin, looking like a victorious rooster.
...
The next day's training was pushed to maximum intensity.
During the break, the other students were all paralyzed under the shade of the trees, panting like dead dogs.
Only Lin Yu stood alone in the sun, still practicing the goose-step.
"Instructor, do you think I'm lifting my leg high enough?"
"Instructor, does my arm swing need to be held a bit firmer?"
She was sweating profusely, her makeup slightly ruined, but she still persevered.
That look of "I'm working so hard" and "I'm so diligent" really fooled quite a few people.
"This girl Lin Yu is really going all out."
"Yeah, looks like the squad leader position is definitely hers."
Hearing the discussions around her, Lin Yu felt secretly thrilled.
As she wiped her sweat, she used her peripheral vision to glance not far away.
Ye Zhenzhen was sitting in the shade, holding a chilled plum juice that Gu Ran had brought her.
She and Zhao Xiaoxiao were talking and laughing, looking incredibly cozy.
Lin Yu ground her back teeth.
Drink up, chat away.
Wait until I become the squad leader and stand at the center of the whole school's attention.
No matter how pretty you are, Ye Zhenzhen, you'll still have to be my foil!
Becoming the focus of everyone's attention is what's most important.
In the afternoon, it was time for the breakdown training of the goose-step.
This was the most boring and tiring event in military training.
Supporting yourself on one leg while kicking out and holding the other leg.
Standing there for minutes at a time, legs shaking so much they could sift chaff.
Many girls stood unsteadily, wobbling and falling right onto their butts.
Lin Yu held on purely by a breath of arrogance.
Her thigh muscles were trembling wildly, and her toes were starting to go numb.
But she still forced a stiff face, maintaining a precarious balance.
She felt that her current appearance must be full of a resilient yet fragile beauty.
"Stop!"
The instructor suddenly roared, interrupting everyone's torment.
Lin Yu felt a sense of relief. She put her leg down, getting ready to receive the instructor's praise.
But she saw the stern-faced instructor walk straight to the other side of the formation.
"Everyone, look over here!"
The instructor pointed at Ye Zhenzhen, who was standing in the first row, and spoke loudly.
Everyone looked over in unison.
They saw Ye Zhenzhen standing on one leg, the other leg kicked out straight, her toes pointing down, perfectly parallel to the ground.
The highly anticipated girl was currently drenched in sweat.
No way, no way, she had just secretly slacked off a bit.
How could she be discovered even for this?!
Just when she thought the instructor was about to scold her, the words that came out of his mouth brought her immense relief.
"Look at how she stands!"
Phew!
Thank goodness, he was here to praise her.
The girl gave herself a mental pat on the back.
"For freshmen, this is the standard!"
The instructor did not stint on his praise, then turned his head toward Lin Yu's side and shook his head imperceptibly.
"Some students have commendable spirit, but their movements are stiff and their core strength is too poor! Stop just trying to move yourselves, and learn more from student Ye Zhenzhen!"
Lin Yu's brain buzzed.
She didn't understand how her hard-earned training couldn't compare to a casual kick from that bitch Ye Zhenzhen.
She was obviously the one who worked the hardest, so why wasn't she being praised!
Thinking this, she looked at the girl who made her grind her teeth in hatred.
Her gaze gradually turned vicious.
"Student Ye Zhenzhen."
The instructor looked at the girl in front of him with a pleasant expression.
"I can see you have a very good foundation. Are you interested in being the female squad leader?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu's face instantly turned deathly pale.
The eyes of the entire class focused on Ye Zhenzhen.
There was envy, jealousy, and anticipation.
Ye Zhenzhen blinked, retracted her leg, and stood firm.
She glanced at Lin Yu, gently shook her head, and spoke in a soft but firm tone.
"Reporting to the instructor, I don't want to."
"Why?" The instructor was stunned.
"I... I'm not suitable. It's better to leave the opportunity to a student who needs it."
Besides, she didn't want to fight for any attention; studying was what mattered.
"Pfft—"
Someone in the formation couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The instructor sighed, looking regretful.
Lin Yu stood frozen in place, her nails digging into her palms.
The thing she dreamed of, Ye Zhenzhen discarded like an old shoe.
This kind of indifference was ten thousand times worse than just losing the selection!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride. Lin Xuan's eyes light up, eager to pledge his loyalty on the spot, but instead, her kiss transfers a glass of drugged wine into his mouth, causing him to pass out... 【Male Protagonist with Single Female Lead】【Yandere Tycoon】【Action-Packed】【True vs. Fake Heir】

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy.
