Evolving infinitely from ground zero

11:55 a.m.

Evolution College, Building #3.

Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan, Li Chuxin, and the commissioner were all waiting on the first floor of the teaching building, waiting for the target to appear after class.

Five minutes later.

The bell signaling the end of class rang on time.

The once quiet building instantly became noisy.

Students poured out of the classrooms, filling the hallways in small groups, chatting and laughing as they headed downstairs.

Many students, in a rush to save time, chose to take a shortcut by jumping down from the upper floors, landing with a heavy "thud" on the ground.

Then, they got up as if nothing had happened and left.

"Isn't that Lin Zichen?"

"This is the teaching area for sophomores, what is he doing here?"

"He's been staring at everyone passing by, could he be here as a substitute fighter?"

"Nine times out of ten, he's probably really looking for someone. Wonder who the unlucky one is that he's got his eyes on."

"I thought he was just bragging that day in the gym, didn't expect him to actually show up."

"There's going to be a good show."

Many people noticed Lin Zichen and started discussing among themselves.

Lin Zichen ignored these voices and stood still in silence.

Without a word.

Just waiting for the target to come down.

However, after waiting for a long time, the target still hadn't appeared.

"Strange, why haven't I seen Huang Jiamin? Could she have taken the day off?"

The commissioner muttered with a puzzled expression.

Lin Zichen said indifferently, "She didn't take the day off; she just hasn't come out of the classroom."

"How do you know?"

The commissioner asked curiously.

Lin Zichen casually explained, "Intuition."

Intuition, huh?

It wasn't intuition, but perception.

The biometric attribute of danger perception had significantly enhanced his sensing abilities, allowing him to perceive various presences even through distances of over a hundred meters.

"Lin Zichen, stop waiting, Huang Jiamin won't come down."

"She knows you're blocking her and is now scared stiff in the classroom, calling her brother for help."

"I suggest you go straight up to her."

A young man waiting to enjoy the scene called out loudly to Lin Zichen.

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl in the crowd frowned and accused him, "Yan Liang, what are you doing? You shouldn't be turning against your own!"

"Damn it! That bitch made me wear nine green hats; I wish she were dead now! Keep blathering and I'll come over there and kick you!"

The young man cursed at the girl.

He was Huang Jiamin's classmate as well as her ex-boyfriend.

Last summer, in less than a week's time, Huang Jiamin made him wear nine green hats, and now he couldn't wait for her to die.

Nine green hats?

Shen Qinghan was taken aback, thinking this young man really had it rough, so rough that she didn't even feel it was right to tell him to be strong.

Li Chuxin, who was next to her, exclaimed in shock, "Oh my God, that woman is so promiscuous, to give her boyfriend nine green hats is just outrageous!"

The commissioner expressed her concern, "Huang Jiamin's brother is extremely powerful, with a biological level of a regular seventh rank, and I hear he's quite popular in the student council. I think we better drop today's commission and forget about it."

After saying this, she added, "It would be a unilateral breach of contract by me, so you can keep the 11 points."

"Hu Yingli, don't be a coward!"

Li Chuxin encouraged the commissioner, "Zi Chen is much stronger than you think. The day before yesterday in the gym, he took down that disciplinary inspector Kim something Yu in an instant. Huang Jiamin's brother is at best on the same level as that Kim guy, easy to deal with!"

The commissioner voiced her concerns, "It's not that I don't believe in Zi Chen's strengths, but Huang Jiamin's brother really has a lot of friends. He's well-connected, and I'm afraid he'll outnumber us and Zi Chen will be at a disadvantage."

After being bullied by Huang Jiamin yesterday, she acted impulsively out of anger and thought about asking Lin Zichen to teach her a lesson.

Now that she'd calmed down, it seemed too rash.

Huang Jiamin's brother was not someone to mess with. Offending him could make life even harder at the university.

"Will I be at a disadvantage?"

Lin Zichen smiled and said confidently to the commissioner, "Don't worry, no matter how many ants there are, they can't bite an elephant."

"Since I dared to take your commission, I am confident I can solve the problem for you."

"Let's go upstairs and find Huang Jiamin."

With that last remark, Lin Zichen leapt directly up to the floor where Huang Jiamin was.

It wasn't very high, only the third floor.

Including the parapet of the third-floor corridor, it was just over nine meters tall.

Any seventh-rank power could easily make the jump.

However, when the person accomplishing this was a first-year freshman, it suddenly became extraordinary, even shocking.

At this moment, many on-site couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment:

"Holy shit, he just jumped straight up to the third floor in a single leap. Is he really a freshman?"

"His physical talent is the most incredible I've ever seen!"

"My God, this 'King of the Newcomers' is too monstrous. I'm already a sophomore, and I've fused with several Exotic Beast Genes as a Genetic Integrator, but even I can't jump straight up to the third floor like that."

"He's too strong, next to him, I feel like I'm disabled."

Many people felt dejected by Lin Zichen's display, with faces filled with life's doubts.

The students who got into Shanhai University were almost all among the top scholars of their high schools, admired by everyone.

Yet, even those scholars seemed to lose all their luster in front of Lin Zichen, as ordinary as rocks by the roadside.

Truly, to compare oneself with others could drive one to despair.

The more you compare, the more you lose the motivation to try.

While the crowd was questioning their life choices.

A girl's excited shouting suddenly came from a classroom on the third floor.

"My brother is a member of the student council's external affairs department, and he has friends everywhere. You better think thrice before you lay a hand on me, or you'll be digging your own grave!"

"Don't come over, please, don't come over!"

"I'm begging you, don't hit me, and even if you must, please don't hit my face!"

It was Huang Jiamin shouting.

Her cries sounded as wretched as the slaughter of a pig.

Lin Zichen's penchant for swelling girls' faces had already spread across the school, and many people knew of his peculiar habit.

Huang Jiamin was terrified that Lin Zichen would swell her face up like a pig's head, or even disfigure her completely.

"I heard that this 'King of the Newcomers' particularly likes to hit girls in the face, and he always strikes hard. Huang Jiamin will probably not be able to show her face for months."

"The wretch deserves death! Best if she gets permanently disfigured!"

"Let's go, upstairs, and watch the fun!"

After a burst of commotion, many onlookers quickly surged toward the third floor, eager to witness Lin Zichen beating up Huang Jiamin.

However, before they could even make it to the stairs, a figure flew out from the third floor.

To say flew out would be inaccurate.

More precisely, she was thrown out.

It was Huang Jiamin who was thrown out, landing accurately in a green strip on the ground.

Luckily for her, the plants cushioned her fall and she landed without harm.

The next second, Lin Zichen appeared on the corridor of the third floor. Under everyone's gazes, he lightly leaped down to the ground, nearly silent upon landing.

"A drop from almost 10 meters high, and he made almost no sound hitting the ground, how strong must his control of power be to do that?"

A boy in the crowd said with a face of disbelief.

Upon hearing this, others finally realized the impressive aspect of Lin Zichen's leap and were immediately filled with shock.

Lin Zichen paid no attention to the shocked onlookers.

He calmly looked towards Shen Qinghan who had not yet had the chance to go upstairs and said evenly,

"Han Han, leave Huang Jiamin for you to challenge, control your own force when hitting her."

While he was upstairs a moment ago, he had not laid a hand on Huang Jiamin.

He had simply thrown her down to publicly execute her punishment in front of the crowd.

The executor would be Shen Qinghan.

"Okay, I got it."

Shen Qinghan replied, and immediately took her phone out of her small shoulder bag, opened the school app, and initiated the challenge to Huang Jiamin as Lin Zichen had instructed.

She was a delicate freshman girl.

She had no ranking on the peak list or the freshman list, and could challenge any senior student unconditionally.

Moreover, the challenge could be established without the other party's consent.

After the challenge was established.

Shen Qinghan wasted no words, lifted her leg and walked straight towards Huang Jiamin.

"Stop, stop right now!"

"You can't hit me!"

"If I lose even a single hair, my brother will never let you get away with it!"

Just as Huang Jiamin managed to get up from the green strip, seeing Shen Qinghan rapidly approaching, she shouted at Shen Qinghan with a pale face.

Shen Qinghan ignored her and picked up the pace, closing in directly on her.

When she was less than ten meters away from Huang Jiamin.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind:

"Who dares to hit my sister!"

This shout was exceptionally loud, filled with Blood Qi Power that made many people's ears ring.

Shen Qinghan stopped in her tracks and turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Then, she saw three burly young men.

The leader with a buzz cut was Huang Jiamin's brother—Huang Jiarui, a formidable individual with a Biological Level of Ordinary Seventh Order.

The other two young men accompanying him were his colleagues from the student council's external affairs department and also possessed a Biological Level of Ordinary Seventh Order.
