Chapter 2324: Chapter 2321: Swimming Class

Qiao Xiaoyi stopped, looking at Lin Tian with a very strange expression. Lin Tian even thought the words "Netherworld War" had jolted him awake.

Qiao Xiaoyi blinked, and asked in puzzlement, "Is this a new game that came out over winter break? Or a new movie?"

Lin Tian had metaphorical black lines all over his face. Looked like he’d been overthinking it—Qiao Xiaoyi plainly didn’t remember a thing. Whatever Netherworld, whatever war, none of it had anything to do with him. Right now he was just an ordinary, regular college student.

"Uh, nothing, I just heard there’s a new game coming out." Lin Tian mumbled.

"Oh, I’m not very good at games, but if Brother Lin needs a partner, I can practice my skills a bit," Qiao Xiaiyi said very earnestly.

Seeing how serious he looked, Lin Tian was completely sure: Qiao Xiaiyi was still Qiao Xiaiyi.

Lin Tian said helplessly, "It’s nothing, I just think the game’s name is a bit weird, that’s all. I haven’t played it either."

"Hey, you two grown men, why are you dawdling when you walk? Move it." Mu Binglan turned back to urge them on. She was still wondering what kind of secret talk two guys could have—felt way too awkward.

Mu Binglan was still in full tomboy mode, talking loud and free, voice ringing. Lin Tian secretly shook his head. Once you awaken your powers and become a Ksitigarbha Envoy, will you still be this carefree?

Some people’s fate is already nailed down from the moment they’re born. Lin Tian didn’t believe in fate, but with everything he was going through now, all these changes—weren’t they really fate’s arrangement?

Qiao Xiaoyi hadn’t awakened, and there was nothing Lin Tian could do. After turning it over and over in his mind, the biggest possibility was that the opportunity just hadn’t arrived yet. That opportunity, he’d already seen clearly before his reincarnation.

The first day of the new term was busy, from morning till night—things assigned by the teachers, things arranged by the college. In between, he even squeezed out time to wander around the cafeteria with Xiao Manxuan, He Xiaofei and the others to check out any new dishes.

From a relaxed, free winter break, back to a busy, "fulfilling" campus life—maybe the cafeteria’s food was a tiny consolation. It was just that it didn’t hold much appeal for Lin Tian.

He Xiaofei’s dad, Professor He, dragged Lin Tian off to the lab as well. Called it a "visit," but to Lin Tian that uncle clearly looked like he was trying to pull him into the team.

However, Lin Tian wasn’t very interested in his new project and firmly turned him down. Mainly because he did have a sense of his own limits.

The last time he helped push the antidote research to success, it was completely a matter of timing and luck, plus a bit of coincidence. If you really talked professional level, Lin Tian openly admitted he was nowhere near Professor He.

Even though he was busy all day, in Lin Tian’s eyes it was still pretty laid-back—at least it wasn’t like the Ancient Hidden Stream, where he was not only busy but also had to guard against petty schemers eyeing him.

What comforted Lin Tian even more was that there was still PE in the second semester, and it was a required credit. For all the guys, PE was probably the most popular class. Lin Tian was no exception.

But when it came to choosing a PE elective, Lin Tian also got a bout of choice paralysis. He’d already taken soccer, so that was the first to be ruled out. Basketball was still a ball; he wasn’t interested for the time being.

There were also volleyball, table tennis, badminton and such. In the Martial Arts category there were Tai Chi Boxing, karate, taekwondo, sanda, traditional Martial Arts. Lin Tian crossed out the martial arts ones too. Based on how he’d performed in the ring—if he showed up in a martial arts class, the teacher’s face would probably be the ugliest, because even the teacher couldn’t beat him.

But that didn’t mean the PE teachers weren’t professional. On the contrary, college PE teachers were very professional. For example, the yoga class teacher was no worse than those at outside yoga studios, with the main difference being that class here was free, while outside studios charged a fortune.

For girls, picking fitness and yoga was the best choice; otherwise, once they were out in society, learning the same things would cost a lot of tuition.

In the end, Lin Tian picked swimming. It wasn’t that he needed to learn—it was because He Xiaofei and the others dragged him along. More importantly, Lin Tian discovered that Xiao Manxuan had signed up for swimming. Fine, if everyone’s going, he’d go too.

And swimming class meant swimsuit beauties to look at—He Xiaofei’s argument was very convincing. Was she talking about herself?

There was PE the next afternoon. Xiao Manxuan had picked out her swimsuit early. A guy’s swimwear was just a pair of trunks, but girls’ swimsuits were different—colorful, with styles no fewer than regular clothes.

"Ahem, how about you do a private swimsuit show and let me give you some advice?" Lin Tian’s heart was pounding, but his face stayed very proper.

This suggestion earned him a massive eye-roll from the little girl. That look clearly said: you big perv, keep dreaming.

Still, under Lin Tian’s "strong" insistence, the little girl chose a conservative swimsuit.

Swimming class was in the school’s natatorium. The swimming instructor was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, but her figure was extremely well maintained—no surprise for someone who did swimming for a living.

There wasn’t just one class in the natatorium; the two swimming classes each took one end. Lin Tian and Qiao Xiaoyi changed into their swim trunks and waited for class to begin.

The girls also came out of the locker room, each one in a swimsuit, making Lin Tian’s eyes dart everywhere. Even though Xiao Manxuan was dressed conservatively, it still couldn’t hide her explosive figure. Walking among a bunch of girls, she was that dazzling.

Mu Binglan was a bit taller, and in a swimsuit looked sturdier than the other girls. As for He Xiaofei—you couldn’t tell before, but her figure was actually pretty good.

Logically speaking, a scene like this should be boys checking out girls. But the moment the girls came out and saw Lin Tian, their eyes all lit up.

Lin Tian’s physique was already close to perfect—smooth, balanced muscle lines, not exaggerated but filled with explosive power, and his healthy skin tone seemed to glow gently in the sunlight.

You could imagine what kind of impact that body had on the girls. Even the swimming instructor snuck a few extra glances.

Xiao Manxuan curled her lips and muttered, "Dragging him to pick swimming might have been the worst decision ever..."

He Xiaofei gulped and said, "I think it’s pretty great."

The girls from the other class also looked over, and the situation left the boys a bit at a loss. Since when were the girls this bold?

"Why are there so many people in swimming class? Isn’t it supposed to be one-on-one coaching? With this many people in the water, it’s going to be filthy. How are we supposed to swim!"

A female voice cut in, breaking the mood. The voice was a bit affected, as if she were pinching her throat to put on a cutesy baby tone.

That line was beyond arrogant, disgusting everyone present. They all turned to look toward the source of the voice.

They saw a man and a woman walk in. The man was tall and handsome, the woman was tall and slender, and even for swimming class she was wearing elaborate makeup.

The woman eyed the pool and the other students with open disdain. Her words showed even more undisguised contempt.

"Conditions in China are just like this. You’ll just have to bear with it," the man patiently coaxed her. But it was obvious his thoughts aligned with hers—he also thought the facilities here were poor.

"And this is supposed to be a top university? If I’d known it was this bad, I wouldn’t have come back. My family insisted on me returning to study in the motherland. Coming back to study is one thing, but you just had to make me take swimming class." The woman was furious, complaining nonstop.
