Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

All the custors in the restaurant began to whisper and gossip among themselves.

“Who is Giovanna? Why are the City Lord’s personal guards looking for her?”

“Dozens of people ca at once. Looks like it is for sothing out of the ordinary.”

“It is said that the City Lord’s personal guards have at least reached the level of an Advanced Martial Arts Warrior. All of them have extraordinary strength.”

“I don’t think anything good is going to happen to this Giovanna.”

“…”

When Giovanna heard that they were looking for her, her expression turned ashen-white. She was a little terrified, but she still forced herself to reply, “I’m Giovanna. May I know why you are looking for ?”

Initially, the leader of the City Lord’s personal guards had an icy cold expression on his face, but after knowing that the person in front of him was Giovanna, he broke into a wide smile and said respectfully,

“Good day, Ms. Giovanna. This is the invitation letter. Please keep it safe. Please rember to attend the eting and ceremony tomorrow.”

As he spoke, the leader retrieved an invitation letter edged in gold and handed it to her.

Still stunned, Giovanna did not react, her face a look of complete bewildernt.

Dozens of City Lord’s personal guards had co down here just to deliver an invitation letter?

Everyone else in the restaurant was also astonished. No one could have imagined that the City Lord’s personal guards, showing up in such an overbearing manner, were only here to deliver an invitation letter. Just how important was this Giovanna to warrant such a treatnt?

......

“Are you serious? The City Lord’s personal guards are such an important unit. Those guys are here simply to deliver an invitation letter?”

“She managed to get an invitation letter! Even I, an Interdiate Martial Arts Warrior, am not qualified to obtain it.”

“If you Martial Arts Warriors can’t even obtain it, let alone us ordinary people.”

“No, that’s not an invitation letter. Did you see it? It has a gold border. It’s a VIP invitation!”

“VIP invitation? That’s the best spot in the area. It’s said that only people with extrely important statuses get it!”

“…”

Everyone in the restaurant whispered and chattered in low voices, their faces full of astonishnt.

After the City Lord’s personal guards handed over the invitation letter, they left.

Looking at the invitation letter in her hand, Giovanna was thoroughly confused.

However, after knowing that it was a VIP invitation, Giovanna imdiately guessed that it probably had sothing to do with Lu Yu.

After all, besides Lu Yu, she herself did not have the qualifications to receive an invitation, let alone a VIP invitation. She could only be invited due to her connection to Lu Yu.

Nonetheless, Giovanna was still apprehensive. She had not seen Lu Yu during this period of ti. Lu Yu kept saying he was busy. What on earth happened to him?

…

On the training ground of a high school campus,

Lu Shan was busy training. He was already in his third year of high school this year. If he could not successfully advance to a Martial Arts Warrior in the final few months, he would not be able to enter the martial arts university.

If he could not enter a martial arts university, he would have no chance to beco a martial arts practitioner for the rest of his life. At most, he might be lucky enough to beco a low-level martial arts practitioner.

This ant that in this lifeti, he could only choose administrative jobs, with no chance to take up a martial arts career.

In this world, martial arts was top priority. Everything else was secondary and must stand aside. An administrative job could at most fill one’s stomach. To have a bright future was practically impossible.

It could be said that the martial arts exam at the end of Year Three was a watershed that determined the future of many people.

If he could not enter the martial arts university, he would be a diocre existence for the rest of his life. It would be difficult for him to achieve great success.

However, if he could successfully get into a martial arts university, he would be able to officially embark on the journey of a martial arts practitioner.

This was even more crucial considering that, if he made it into one of the top ten martial arts universities, he would receive all sorts of funding support and the tuition fees would be waived.

In other words, as long as he could get into one of the top 10 martial arts universities, he would be assured of an extraordinary life.

At this mont, on the training ground, Lu Shan was drenched in sweat, training diligently.

Not far away, a few students ca over.

“Lu Shan, Lu Shan! The principal is looking for you.”

“Yes, the principal is looking for you. Hurry over.”

“Lu Shan, you’re done for. Sothing bad must have happened if the principal is looking for you suddenly. Haha!”

These guys were all Lu Shan’s good friends. Naturally, Lu Shan didn’t believe them at all.

Therefore, he simply ignored them and carried on with his practice. After all, he didn’t break any rules, so why would the principal be looking for him all of a sudden?

With a face full of disbelief, Lu Shan said to them, “Go away, go away! Don’t joke about such things. I’m busy training, okay!”

However, the few students still persisted.

“I’m not lying. Lu Shan. The principal is really looking for you.”

“Yeah, Lu Shan, you should hurry over.”

“Honest, the principal is looking for you. You’d better hurry over. It won’t be good if you go there late and upset the principal.”

“…”

Even as his friends chattered noisily, Lu Shan still did not believe them.

At this mont, the instructor walked over, looking for sothing. When he saw Lu Shan, he imdiately ca towards him.

“Lu Shan, stop training for now. The principal is looking for you. Hurry up and go over!” the instructor said sternly.

Lu Shan finally believed his friends. The instructor would never crack this sort of joke with him.

“All right!”

Lu Shan put down his equipnt and headed for the principal’s office.

To make up for the delay, Lu Shan sprinted all the way to the principal’s office. Before long, he arrived and knocked on the door.

“Co in.” The principal’s voice could be heard coming from inside.

Lu Shan pushed the door open and entered. Much to his surprise, the normally stern-faced principal was beaming happily at him.

“You’re Lu Shan, right? Quick, co here,” the principal said with a kind smile.

Lu Shan was feeling bewildered. He had been in this school for three whole years and had never once seen the principal smile so kindly. He had always been stern-looking.

In his recollection, the only ti the principal smiled was when the City Lord visited.

Lu Shan was a little confused, but he still walked up to the principal.

anwhile, Lu Shan’s classmates had sneakily followed him and were now hiding outside the principal’s office, trying to eavesdrop.

As Lu Shan walked over, the principal handed him an invitation letter. “This is the invitation letter for the Town Hall eting. Keep it safe and attend the eting on ti tomorrow. Do you understand?”

Due to the fact that it was a VIP invitation, and therefore carried more weight, the principal had to hand it over to Lu Shan personally once he received it, and not entrust it to anyone else to hand it to Lu Shan. Otherwise, if anything happened or it got lost, the principal would be held responsible.

At the sa ti, the principal was also puzzled. He did not have much of an impression of Lu Shan. After reading up on his information, he found out that Lu Shan was just an ordinary student. His talent was average, but he was hardworking, so his ability was above average.

In the last few months, he had a chance to successfully break through to beco a Martial Arts Warrior. However, it was only a chance, not a certainty. The specifics would depend on Lu Shan’s hard work and luck.

At that mont, when Lu Shan found out that it was an invitation letter, he was very puzzled. “Invitation letter for the Town Hall eting? How am I qualified to receive this invitation letter?”

Lu Shan was a little skeptical. From what he knew, only the principal and the powerful instructors were qualified to participate in this eting.

So of the weaker instructors were not qualified to participate at all.

As for students, that was even rarer. Out of the thousands of students in the school, no one had ever heard of a student who was qualified to participate in the Town Hall eting.

Lu Shan was the first in the entire school!

When Lu Shan’s classmates overheard that Lu Shan had received an invitation letter to the Town Hall eting tomorrow, they were all bowled in utter shock and disbelief.
