Sensing the fragrant breeze and the softness before him, Lin Ran's body had already become involuntarily heated.
Luo Qingyan, with a charming smile, reached out and cupped Lin Ran's face:
"Help me lie down for a while, will you..."
Infected by this breath, which was as fragrant as orchids and as alluring as a phantom, Lin Ran completely lost his mind. As if possessed, he picked up Luo Qingyan and headed towards the bedroom upstairs.
Leaning against Lin Ran's firm chest, Luo Qingyan continuously caressed his body with her fingers.
Her pretty face was flushed with shyness, and her heart pounded like a startled deer.
If she hadn't awakened her Fallen Angel talent today and been somewhat infected by its seductive charm, she wouldn't have dared to be so bold.
Moreover, the darkness and heat brought by the Fallen Angel had greatly affected her state of mind.
Now, it seemed Lin Ran was also infected by her.
Thus, not long after, Luo Qingyan was gently placed by Lin Ran onto the bedding, experiencing Lin Ran's unique roughness...
"Xiao Ran... mmm..."
...
The next morning.
When Lin Ran finally woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
He glanced at Luo Qingyan, who was still sleeping soundly beside him like a kitten. Lin Ran smiled softly, tucked her in, and then got out of bed to get dressed.
This little girl had certainly worn him out last night.
It was only thanks to his Natural Spiritual Body bestowing him with immense stamina and recovery, otherwise, whether he could even get out of bed today would be a serious question.
However, speaking of which, Lin Ran had indeed given his all last night.
Luo Qingyan now possessed three distinct forms.
These were: the initial form of pure and adorable, energetic and lively; the divine angel form of pure and holy, inviolable; and the fallen angel form of seductive, alluring, and charming.
Thus, last night Lin Ran had enjoyed a "three-in-one" experience.
This was why his mind was still somewhat hazy.
After simply preparing some food, Lin Ran woke Luo Qingyan up for breakfast.
Luo Qingyan also seemed a bit groggy. However, upon recalling the lingering tenderness of the previous night, her entire face turned intensely red.
How had she become so bold last night, as if she were drunk?
To alleviate the awkwardness, Luo Qingyan decided to speak first:
"Uh... well... I just checked, and there's a class at around 2 PM this afternoon, taught by Sister Miao."
"We should still go, right?"
"It's not early anymore... let's head out right after we eat!"
Thanks to the special privilege granted by Matt, they were allowed to attend only a select few classes personally taught by the department heads.
All lectures, practical sessions, and practice classes given by ordinary instructors could be skipped.
Furthermore, they could attend all the special courses, one per week from each of the five department heads, a remarkably generous arrangement.
After all, Yan University had already organized students by their respective departments.
Even special admit students were not allowed to be absent from ordinary instructors' classes without cause.
Only Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan were able to attend just these five special courses, and they even had the option to skip them.
This was because their department, the exceptionally unique Chaos Department, had no classes scheduled on the students' timetables.
"Let's go, attending this kind of class earns 20 credit points, so why not?"
"And incidentally, I have some things to do."
Lin Ran said nonchalantly, chewing on the food at his lips.
In truth, he was contemplating going out later to exchange his redemption vouchers, hunting points, and military merits for heavenly treasures, one-time use items, and the like, to boost his combat power and build up his reserves.
And, he also planned to clear his Tier 2 Awakener trial.
The quantity of item reserves was also a metric for measuring an Awakener's overall strength.
After all, if two Awakeners had completely unequal amounts of items, the one with more wealth could completely overwhelm the other by continuously throwing out various offensive items, crushing them to death.
And the struggles of the latter would be negated by defensive items.
Not to mention items that could summon combat puppets, or potion-type items that provided additional buffs and sustain.
This was precisely why scions of noble families could often crush those from humble backgrounds.
They could simply overwhelm you with money; what could you possibly compare with that?
Moreover, the scions of noble families could often acquire additional strength through the heavenly treasures provided by their families, and at least elevate their innate talents to the peak of B-class.
It was only within the campus that things were relatively fair; items were not allowed on the arena, and using items in trial matches would result in a deduction of points.
While the deduction wasn't substantial, it did, to a certain extent, limit the number of items that could be used.
If one were to leave the campus... then there was certainly no need to even mention it.
One could only say that reality was truly cruel.
This was also why it was as difficult as climbing to heaven for a commoner to rise to prominence.
Luo Qingyan didn't overthink it:
"Yes, me too."
"My combat power is almost reaching Tier 3 Awakener now, and I still haven't passed the Tier 2 trial. Is that acceptable?"
Lin Ran rolled his eyes beside her.
Luo Qingyan's combat power was expanding at an outrageously fast pace, even faster than his own by a considerable margin.
There was no helping it.
After all, Luo Qingyan's strength was almost entirely derived from her innate talent.
Lin Ran, on the other hand, gained various abilities from the Fishing System, which were not accounted for in his combat power.
This resulted in Lin Ran's actual combat power being far superior to his displayed combat power value.
...
This was, in essence, the first day of official classes at Yan University.
It was evident that the roads were now much more crowded with people coming and going.
Therefore, Luo Qingyan's reckless driving skills, regardless of the surroundings, were certainly not viable anymore.
Otherwise, before even reaching the classroom, she would have crashed into dozens of people and vehicles.
Lin Ran could only return to his old trade.
Using the Ope Ope no Mi to secretly control things, he took over the command from Luo Qingyan.
With the growth of his power, Lin Ran's control over the Ope Ope no Mi had also significantly improved.
For example, Luo Qingyan, whose combat power was now considerably higher than his, was happily driving, completely oblivious to Lin Ran's secret machinations.
Of course, this might also be due to Lin Ran not imposing too many restrictions on Luo Qingyan.
Lin Ran merely ensured she wouldn't crash into anything, but did not limit her speed or her aggressive driving.
This resulted in Luo Qingyan making many people on the road feel their hearts leap into their throats, and they couldn't help but want to curse.
However, when they saw who was in the hovering car, their tempers immediately subsided.
After the trials and battles of the freshman grand competition, Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan's names were already famous throughout Yan University.
Many senior students dared not provoke them, believing themselves to be inferior in strength, let alone the freshmen...
