Systemless Villain

Chapter 202 Dawn of a New Day

As time relentlessly marched forward, the night surreptitiously faded into the embrace of the sunrise, casting its subdued rays.

Within the confines of a villa room, Long Tian awoke, finding himself lying face down on the bed. Rolling over, he stretched his slightly stiff body.

To his side, Li Yue'er was already awake, a radiant smile adorning her face.

"You seem unusually happy this morning," Long Tian observed.

"I can't explain it; I'm just genuinely happy," Li Yue'er replied, her broad smile growing as she moved closer to Long Tian.

"I can't fathom the reason either, but since you're in a good mood, can you make my favorite dish?" Long Tian requested, a smile playing on his lips.

Li Yue'er's expression momentarily blanked. "You're just taking advantage of the situation... But it's fine, since you're the one I love the most, I'll prepare your favorite meal," she conceded.

"Thank you, my Yue'er," Long Tian expressed, sealing his gratitude with a gentle kiss on Li Yue'er's forehead.

After savoring some romantic moments, they left the room. While Li Yue'er attended to the bathroom, Long Tian opted for some morning exercises, not in preparation for the survival competition's qualification test but as part of his routine.

With his formidable strength and innate talent, passing the impending test was not a matter of uncertainty but a definite accomplishment.

In the backyard, Long Tian engaged in simple warm-up exercises, embracing the tranquility of the morning.

Over 30 minutes had elapsed, and the morning sun began to assert its brilliance, casting vibrant rays across the surroundings. The clock, displaying the time as 7:10, indicated that there were still 50 minutes remaining before the commencement of the test.

In the tranquil backyard, a spectacle unfolded.

A fireball, propelled by Ling Han, hurtled towards Long Tian with remarkable speed. However, Long Tian, in a swift motion, waved his hand, redirecting the fiery projectile back towards Ling Han at an equivalent velocity.

The fireball made contact with Ling Han, dissipating upon impact, its energy seamlessly absorbed into his body.

"Another one is coming, young master!" Ling Han declared.

"Bring it on!" Long Tian responded with a resounding bellow.

Anticipating the challenge, Ling Han unleashed a barrage of fireballs towards Long Tian. The audible slicing of the air accompanied each fiery projectile.

Mirroring their previous encounters, Long Tian skillfully deflected and redirected all the incoming fireballs, showcasing his mastery of the Full Counter technique. The exchange resembled a mesmerizing display, with fireballs resembling cannons in intense combat.

Long Tian appeared to relish the sparring session, even against Ling Han, a formidable opponent with superior strength.

After more than 10 minutes of rigorous training, they decided to conclude their session.

Long Tian, visibly panting, and Ling Han, sporting a satisfied smile, marked the end of their intense training. Ling Han expressed contentment with Long Tian's progress in mastering the Full Counter technique.

"It seems we should conclude, Uncle Ling," Long Tian suggested.

Ling Han nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's getting late; you should prepare for school," he advised.

With a nod of acknowledgment, Long Tian made his way back into the villa.

Long Tian wasted no time, heading straight to the shower. The water cascaded over his body, offering a revitalizing sensation to both his physical form and his soul.

Soon after, having completed his shower, he emerged, clad only in a towel. However, he paused before the mirror, striking a pose to accentuate his well-developed muscles.

His physique had undergone a remarkable transformation since his initial transmigration into this world. While he had possessed some muscularity before, his current form boasted a more substantial and balanced muscular structure. This transformation was unsurprising, given his possession of the Mesomorph gene, which facilitated the natural formation of muscles, creating an aesthetic look without the need for steroids.

"Now, I somewhat regret why I never hit the gym in my previous life," he murmured under his breath, reflecting on his newfound physical prowess.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he exited the bathroom and proceeded directly to his room. There, he donned his sports uniform, forgoing a bag or books since today marked the day of the qualification test.

Descending to the first floor, he was immediately greeted by the enticing aroma of food emanating from the dining room, where Li Yue'er was busy preparing the meal.

As Li Yue'er caught sight of Long Tian, she immediately smiled, "Just in time; I've just finished cooking," she announced.

Seated in a chair, Long Tian gazed at the array of dishes on the table, his attention particularly drawn to the smoked tuna dish.

"Now I'm certain that kidnapping you was one of the best decisions in my life," he remarked, a smile playing on his lips.

Li Yue'er chuckled at his comment, acknowledging the truth in it. Reflecting on their journey, it made sense – without Long Tian's unconventional decision, she might not find herself in such a happy situation.

"Well, should I be thankful that you kidnapped me?" she teased.

"Maybe," Long Tian replied with a smile.

Li Yue'er chuckled and joined him at the table, sharing breakfast with Long Tian.

After some time of enjoying the meal and engaging in conversation, they eventually finished, and Long Tian bid his farewell.

The car's engine roared to life, signaling Long Tian's departure as he set off for Tianzhou High School.

Sporting sunglasses, Long Tian expertly navigated the road with light traffic.

After a drive lasting over 15 minutes, he arrived at the Tianzhou High School area, bustling with students flowing into the school grounds.

Effortlessly entering, he parked his car in the designated area, removing his sunglasses as he stepped out to the lively scene on the school grounds. The first field was particularly active, with many students warming up before the test.

Today marked the second session of the entrance exams, boasting participation from over 400 students.

As he prepared to head towards the field, his progress paused by a familiar voice from the entrance gate.

"Long Tian, wait up!"

Turning, he saw Li Guowu, Bai Li, and three other friends walking briskly toward him.

Approaching with a smile, Long Tian greeted them, "Good morning, fellas. It seems like you're all more than ready for this test, except you, Bai Li," he said, gesturing towards a slightly fatty guy, identified as Bai Li.

Li Guowu and the others glanced at Bai Li, who responded casually, "Only someone bored with life would want to take this test. Don't you guys think it's still better to enjoy Wagyu A10?"

"It's just a lump of meat; there's nothing special about it," Li Guowu retorted.

"It's still better than risking yourself for nothing."

"Well, at least it turns into muscles when I eat it, instead of you turning into fat."

"Who needs muscles when you can enjoy all the food?"

"Do you think I can't?"

The conversation took on a more humorous tone, with jokes and friendly banter as they strolled towards the field.
