#203 - Chapter 203 Graduation

Seeing Shen Xingyan's rejecting gaze, Chu Wei, who understood his personality well, knew that she wouldn't be able to give him the gift. She could only pout unhappily and give up on the idea with a helpless expression.

On the stage, after Han Ning Shuang's award was presented, the pre-graduation award ceremony officially came to an end. The school leader began to deliver the final speech:

"Students, I wish you all to quickly improve your strength. At the same time, I hope that you can all safely get through every day and night in the future. You are the hope of our future. Do not participate in battles outside the boundary too early. Remember, as long as you are alive, there is hope!"

The school leader's speech ended amidst the students' enthusiastic applause, also signifying that they had officially ended their school life and begun to face this cruel, real world.

With everything here completed, the airship to pick up the Central District personnel had already docked.

The Central District leader checked that there were no problems with his students before a smile finally appeared on his face.

After politely bidding farewell to the North District school leaders, he led the Central District group onto the airship and left.

The North District students also slowly left this place they had been familiar with for over a decade amidst various farewell scenes. The next time they come, they will probably be in the role of parents.

"Shen Xingyan, we're just graduating, not breaking up! I'll still look for you whether I have something to do or not in the future!

Your current profession level should also be four or five. After waiting for a while until my level is higher, I can take you to hunt monsters beyond your level in the wild. With the addition of life profession experience, your experience will increase faster..."

Before parting, Chu Wei looked reluctant, while also continuously planning for the future.

Although Shen Xingyan also felt somewhat reluctant, he just stared at her with a smile, as if wanting to forever engrave this moment in his mind.

Listening to her words, he didn't refute, as it was a happy thing that Chu Wei had a beautiful plan for their future.

Afterward, after promising to keep in touch often, they reluctantly said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Shen Xingyan looked back at Chu Wei's departing figure. In a daze, he saw the cheerful little girl who had just become his deskmate.

It felt like only a blink of an eye, and they had both grown up. This feeling of lamenting the passage of time made his heart feel very complicated.

Then, he shook his head, temporarily suppressing this thought, and walked towards home.

Not long after returning home, Shen Xingyan saw that everything in his home was as it had been before he left for five days, which put his mind at ease.

He simply packed his luggage. Seeing that it was almost noon, he felt a little hungry and went to the kitchen to make some hot food. After eating, he went straight to the basement without any rest and began to train 'Force of Equilibrium'.

Because of the return trip in the morning, he had delayed his training for a long time. At this time, he felt that he needed to catch up with the progress and also let time digest the reluctant emotions after the separation.

Just like that, immersed in the training of 'Force of Equilibrium', he quickly spent more than three hours, and the skill's progress reached 22.7%.

Seeing that the skill comprehension had cooled down, he drank a bottle of Primal Energy Recovery Potion, and then directly activated it without hesitation. Under the 20 points of Comprehension, he began to comprehend 'Force of Equilibrium'.

Almost in the blink of an eye, an hour of comprehension time had ended.

At this time, Shen Xingyan, whose Comprehension had returned to normal, also came out of the state of comprehension. He took out his Star Origin Card, opened the attribute panel, and checked it. He found that the progress of 'Force of Equilibrium' was already 27.1%. After a little calculation in his mind, he shook his head slightly and said:

"There's still less than 13% left to reach 40%. It seems that it will be difficult to reach 40% today. I can only do my best!"

Shen Xingyan encouraged himself in his heart. Then, he summoned Assassin No. 12.

He had it run to an uninhabited place on the northern border at the size of an ant, randomly transform into a combat professional, and swagger towards the entrance to the outer boundary.

But when it walked to the border guard, it was suddenly intercepted.

This startled Shen Xingyan, who was observing this phenomenon through the clone's perspective. He thought, "Did the border formation discover the special nature of my clone?"

As he was thinking this, he heard the guard say, "Hello, there is an impending disaster outbreak outside the boundary. The base suggests that you try not to go out during this time to avoid danger."

The guard had said these words many times, and the result was always the same. People who wanted to go out would immediately return upon hearing these words, without any intention of fighting the disaster.

However, the clone said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm going out to kill the disasters. It's good that they're coming to my door, saving me the trouble of looking for them."

The guard, who was originally somewhat indifferent, lit up upon hearing these words from the burly man that the clone had transformed into. As guards of the border, they most admired such brave men.

Then, he friendly opened the barrier, allowing the clone to successfully walk out.

Shen Xingyan was relieved to see the clone successfully leaving the border. Then, he stopped paying attention to the clone's situation, letting the clone with its own consciousness judge and hunt disasters on its own.

As for the main body, he tirelessly trained 'Force of Equilibrium' until his sister Shen Xingying returned from school at more than six o'clock in the afternoon. Only then did he stop training.

"After today's comprehension training, my hourly training improvement rate has reached 1% as expected. Although today's time was delayed, it is possible to raise 'Force of Equilibrium' to level 11 within 5 days according to this growth rate!"

Shen Xingyan thought silently in his heart as he saw the skill progress had reached 29%.

Then, he went to the first floor and told his excited sister all about his experience this time.

Seeing her brother's safe return, Shen Xingying couldn't stop smiling. After quietly listening to her brother's encounter this time, she had a general impression of the disasters outside the boundary.

During dinner, Shen Xingying talked about how 'amazing' she had been during the few days her brother was away. The proud look on her little face made Shen Xingyan feel adorable and praised her.

Then, he returned to his room and connected his consciousness to the Star Origin Card to go to the Star Origin World.
