Beside the girl, a roommate in the dormitory watched Lin Beichen on the TV, eyes filled with admiration.
"When he returns, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely introduce you all to him."
The girl nodded with a smile.
At the same time, in the office of the president of Atlantis University, Griffin watched the live footage on the TV, gnashing his teeth in anger, squeezing his hands so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard.
"Don’t let him get to you here. I want to see how long that guy can keep laughing!"
Kaelmes shook his head, looking at Lin Beichen on the TV with a disdainful expression. He kept glancing at the countdown on his phone, which showed only five seconds remaining.
"It seems like this guy is no more than..."
Before Kaelmes could finish his sentence, Lin Beichen’s actions made him show an expression of disbelief.
Lin Beichen took off the medal just awarded to him by the president of Atlantis University, showing a bright smile to the camera.
Lin Beichen shook the medal in his hand and seemed to speak to himself.
"Although I received this medal, I don’t plan to put it on just yet. I hope the students of Atlantis University can keep it safe for me, and we can take it together after we achieve the final victory!"
After saying this, Lin Beichen threw the medal toward the area where the Atlantis University students were.
In Kaelmes’s furious gaze, the medal exploded in front of everyone, and flames started flowing from it.
The scene unfolded so quickly that no one had time to react. The students of Atlantis University, being closest to the medal, bore the brunt of the impact.
Fortunately, with Atlantis University students acting as a buffer, students from other schools were not severely injured. People around the world watching the broadcast were stunned.
"The people from Atlantis can’t take a loss, can they? Just because they can’t win a debate, they resort to this..."
This was the last thing Lin Beichen said before the signal was cut off.
Hearing this, people around the world who were following the academic exchange immediately took to their social media to share their opinions on the event.
Most of the comments stood by Lin Beichen, as he was a quite famous figure online, and his performance at the academic exchange was remarkable.
Everyone saw the medal explode and flames pour out. If Lin Beichen hadn’t arrogantly taken it off early, he would have died in the explosion.
"I didn’t expect Atlantis University to be so disgraceful!"
"Exactly, claiming to be a top world-class school? What a joke!"
"I can’t believe Atlantis would make someone like that a president!"
...
...
For a time, everyone almost universally criticized Atlantis University. Meanwhile, at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Song Xiangdong’s expression became extremely serious!
After discussing with the elders of Dragon Tiger Mountain, they determined that Lin Beichen was the key to resolving this crisis.
Thinking of Lin Beichen, Song Xiangdong remembered that he was participating in the academic exchange at Atlantis. He should still make it in time for the live broadcast.
Everything was going well. Song Xiangdong was very satisfied with Lin Beichen’s performance so far. However, when he saw the medal thrown by Lin Beichen explode and flow with flames, his expression darkened immediately.
As the Director of the National Security Bureau, Song Xiangdong knew better than anyone that there must be a human hand behind the explosion of the medal. Given his long history with Atlantis, he knew it was easy for them to create something like that.
"But I don’t understand, why would the people from Atlantis want to harm Lin Beichen?"
Fu Daoyi looked puzzled and instinctively glanced at Song Xiangdong!
Song Xiangdong gave him an annoyed look that clearly said, "If you’re asking me, who am I supposed to ask?"
Though he wouldn’t say that bluntly in front of others. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"I just saw what happened on TV. Go do what you need to do, but ensure Lin Beichen’s safety!"
Despite his phone being answered, before Song Xiangdong could say a word, an elderly but calm voice came through.
The voice had the steady demeanor of someone who had held a high position for a long time.

With the elderly man’s approval, Song Xiangdong’s expression became resolute. He took out the phone designated for National Security Bureau use and redialed a familiar number.
"Scar, how is it? Is Lin Beichen injured?"
The first thing Song Xiangdong did after the call connected was inquire about Lin Beichen’s condition.
Despite the previous tests and having seen Lin Beichen at his peak, confident the attack couldn’t kill him, Song Xiangdong remained anxious. To him, Lin Beichen would influence Dragon Country’s future combat capabilities.
Song Xiangdong envisioned a future where, with Lin Beichen’s help, Dragon Country could have an Ancient Martial Arts team or a powerful cultivation unit.
"Lin Beichen is unharmed, but some Atlantis University students were injured as a result."
Scar’s cold voice came through the phone, containing a hint of mockery. It seemed that he despised Atlantis for shooting themselves in the foot.
At least for Scar, if Song Xiangdong tasked him to deal with someone, he would never use such disgraceful means.
"That’s good. Immediately ensure the safety of Ambassador Sun Zhenghao and Lin Beichen, as well as the Imperial Capital University students. But remember, the safety of Ambassador Sun Zhenghao and Lin Beichen is your top priority!"
Song Xiangdong, having been through countless battles, knew well that Scar’s team wouldn’t be able to protect everyone’s safety in such chaos.
Therefore, ensuring the safety of the most important individuals was essential. He absolutely couldn’t let anything happen to either Sun Zhenghao or Lin Beichen.
If something happened to Sun Zhenghao, it would be akin to dragging Dragon Country’s reputation through the mud. If Lin Beichen got into trouble, in Song Xiangdong’s eyes, it would be sacrificing one of Dragon Country’s future prospects.
"Though you want me to protect them, I feel like our presence is unnecessary."
After hanging up, Scar looked at Lin Beichen not far away with a helpless expression. Indeed, Scar’s team had rushed to Lin Beichen’s side and shown their identification as soon as the incident occurred.
However, to their surprise, Lin Beichen didn’t accept their protection. Instead, he asked them to secure themselves and Ambassador Sun Zhenghao first.
Just as Scar was preparing to persuade him further, a huge rock flew toward Lin Beichen from somewhere.
Before Scar could warn him, Lin Beichen’s hand glowed mysteriously, and he punched the rock. In Scar’s disbelief, the huge rock turned to dust instantly!
