"Lin Team, is it over?"

With the fighting noise gone, Qian Hao couldn't help but ask.

Bai Manni slightly opened her eyes, squinting into a slit, and stealthily glanced toward the school gate.

"Hu~"

A faint square character "Clear" spread out from the girl's body.

The Heart Clarity Spell was of a low grade and naturally couldn't withstand the enemy's Ghostly Eyes, but it at least provided some psychological comfort.

"It's okay now." Lin Yue kept her gaze fixed on Lu Ran and told everyone, "Fall in!"

Upon receiving the order, the two small teams cautiously looked around and quickly returned in front of the school building.

On the way back, everyone also saw the scene of Lu Ran returning alone from the east.

More terrifying was that on Lu Ran's path lay a headless corpse.

The cut at the corpse's neck was very neat, coupled with Lu Ran's blood-stained sword...

"Did Lu Ran kill this Ghostly Eyes Ghost?" Bai Manni was quite surprised.

Just now, she indeed heard the sound of sheep bleating and the swoosh of a swinging blade.

At this moment, the expressions of the two team leaders seemed to confirm the girl's guess.

"This... this is a Ghostly Eyes Ghost from River Realm, isn't it?" Qian Hao looked at the approaching Lu Ran, "Brother Ran?"

Lu Ran snorted, "A Mage, insisting on close combat, isn't that asking for death?"

"Gulp." Qian Hao swallowed.

Listening to Lu Ran, did he really kill it?

Bai Manni couldn't help but feel scared, "How could you dare to?

It's too dangerous; you can't be so careless..."

The Heaven's Chosen, they all have one common flaw—arrogance.

Since becoming a Believer, Lu Ran had always been first.

Whether it was academic performance or cultivation realm, he was undisputedly number one.

Bai Manni was really worried that if Lu Ran continued like this, he would harm himself.

Zhang Feng squatted in front of the Ghostly Eyes Ghost's skeleton, his face stern, "Lu Ran, next time follow orders!"

"I know," Lu Ran nodded.

However, Lu Ran thought for a moment and, for the sake of his own assessment score, still chose to defend himself,

"The Ghostly Eyes Ghost appeared too close to the students, I was worried something might happen."

Zhang Feng said gravely, "I know you mean well, and your combat power is strong, but on the battlefield, you must obey commands.

This kind of Evil from River Realm, especially the Ghostly Eyes species, is not what you should be challenging now.

You have high innate talent, your future achievements are unimaginable, you absolutely can't flip over in this ditch!"

"Oh," Lu Ran replied softly.

Lin Yue suddenly spoke, "Lu Ran."

"Present!" Lu Ran looked at the female team leader.

Lin Yue asked, "Were you fighting with your eyes closed just now?"

Such a statement surprised everyone.

Everyone immediately looked at Lu Ran.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran actually nodded!

For a moment, no one knew what to say.

From a distance, Zhang Feng's face was full of question marks!

Zhang Feng was relatively easy-going and treated Squad 98 well.

Like at noon, even if the four people in the squad were relaxing at the swing, Zhang Feng didn't intervene.

And just now, Zhang Feng's words to Lu Ran were already quite stern.

What worried him most was that Lu Ran might accidentally meet the Ghostly Eyes Ghost's gaze, leading to his demise.

And now...

You're telling me that Lu Ran was fighting with his eyes closed the entire time?

"You! You... you're insane!" Bai Manni broke the silence, her heart both anxious and angry, raising her hand toward Lu Ran.

To avoid getting hit, he closed his eyes to kill the Ghostly Eyes Ghost?

What was the difference from committing suicide?

This time, you might have been lucky, but what about next time?

"Put your hand down," Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Bai Manni's mouth fell open in shock.

She looked at Lu Ran's back, then at her raised hand, and again back at Lu Ran's figure.

Did Lu Ran have eyes on his back?

"You... me... ah?" Bai Manni's gaze swept back and forth, her face incredulous.

Team leader Lin Yue's heart was also creating huge waves.

Indeed,

there was something about this kid!

Of course, Lin Yue had heard of Lu Ran's name.

In the small Rain Alley City, with such an extraordinary genius emerging, everyone would pay attention.

In those few school assessments, Lu Ran consistently came first, his achievements on record.

Stepping back, even if one considered the school assessments trivial,

the patrol task on the lunar July 15 night was no joke!

That was the most dangerous night of the year.

Lu Ran had proven himself capable of following the Moon Gazer squad and completing the patrol task competently.

So, Lin Yue didn't think this kid was reckless!

Nor did she believe that Lu Ran would be foolish enough to close his eyes and commit suicide.

So...

Lu Ran was not being overconfident but already had the confidence?!

Lu Ran spoke, "Miss Deng Yuxiang of the Moon Gazer squad once taught me.

She said I am a Swordman, and told me to listen to the wind's sound."

Outside the main school building door, there was silence, everyone wore diverse expressions, making for a vivid scene.

Deng Yutang couldn't resist speaking up, backing his brother, "That's right, two leaders. For over two months, Brother Lu had been practicing this diligently.

Until just this last month, our squad stayed in Evil Dog Village for 17 days.

From begin to end, Lu Ran never opened his eyes."

Everyone: "..."

"Deng Yutang exaggerated," Lu Ran quickly waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, yes." Deng Yutang immediately nodded, "I misspoke, Brother Lu did open his eyes when eating."

Everyone: ????

Lu Ran gave Deng Yutang a funny look.

My eyes were the ones I closed,

how did you end up spilling everything?

Zhang Feng was utterly puzzled, asking, "Does the Immortal Sheep's Divine Technique enhance hearing?"

"No," Lu Ran shook his head, inwardly admitting fault with his mixed actual and misleading words, "After Ms. Deng Yuxiang's guidance, I worked hard to train.

Later, I realized I naturally have sensitive hearing.

Since becoming a Believer, my sensitivity to energy fluctuations became more acute.

Um... maybe I have a little bit of talent in this area."

Zhang Feng: "..."

Is that what you call "a little bit of talent"?

If it were anyone else, Zhang Feng wouldn't believe it.

But this person was Lu Ran!

In the hearts of Moon Gazers like Zhang Feng and Lin Yue, the city guarding task on lunar July 15 was extremely significant.

Zhang Feng didn't know the specifics of Lu Ran's performance that night, but he knew how many points Lu Ran scored.

30 Believer points!

A truly full score!

Such a score could spark endless imagination.

Even if Lu Ran had scored 29.9 points, at least others would know where his exact level stood.

But Lu Ran got 30 points!

The written test scores limited Lu Ran.

They also limited outsiders' speculation about Lu Ran's true level!

Unable to hold back, Qian Hao grinned, "Damn, is it really so mystical?"

He suddenly remembered something, turned to Chang Ying, and whispered:

"That photo you took before, the one where Lu Ran was standing at the crossroads with his eyes closed, posing..."

Lu Ran suddenly said, "Not calling me 'Brother Ran' anymore?"

"Ah!" Qian Hao jumped in fright.

Was my speaking voice that loud? Didn't I consciously lower my voice?

Qian Hao hurried to explain, "No, Brother Ran!

I mean you weren't posing, everyone misunderstood you, you were training seriously!"

Caught red-handed, the plump boy hurriedly explained.

Meanwhile, Deng Yutang next to him began to develop some psychological shadows.

In that instant, Deng Yutang was reminded of the fear of being dominated by his sister.

Not even a slight bad word could be uttered!

Even if you murmured dissatisfaction in your room, the next second, the door might be kicked open...

Thinking this, Deng Yutang subtly shifted to one side.

His image of a good brother gradually overlapped with that nightmare-like figure in his mind.

"Stay alert." Lu Ran looked at Zhang Feng, "I will obey, Brother Zhang, don't dock my points."

Dock points?

Zhang Feng silently collected the Ghostly Eyes Ghost's Demon Crystal.

Even if I docked,

it definitely wouldn't be as much as I'd add...
