Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 329 - 301 Savage
Building a treehouse was certainly no whimsical idea of Lin Tian’s.
Looking at Li Ming, he must have been well-prepared. If he tried to build just an ordinary house like Li Ming, it definitely wouldn’t be as good as Li Ming’s.
So why not try something different and build a house directly in the trees?
Building a house in a tree certainly wasn’t easy. However, Lin Tian thought about it and felt with his Ox Power Technique and Levitation Technique, building a treehouse wouldn’t be much different from building one on the ground.
"Li Ming, look at the Dream Girls Team. They’re going to build a house in the tree."
The members of Li Ming’s Dog Tail Hill Assault Team were essentially his lackeys, and they had all made certain preparations before the event.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been pressing so closely on the Dream Girls Team in the first two rounds.
In fact, if Lin Tian hadn’t shown up, Li Ming’s plan was to do these things alone with Shen Mengyi, and there would be no competition.
It was Lin Tian’s appearance that made Li Ming change his plans mid-way and led to the current competition.
The intention was to show Shen Mengyi how outstanding Li Ming was, but after two rounds, it seemed that Lin Tian, not Li Ming, might be the one who impressed.
This competition was a spur-of-the-moment idea, the last of three segments thought up by the planners of the live streaming platform. This treehouse construction was the last segment.
It wasn’t that the planning team was incompetent, but rather that Li Ming had prepared just these three events. Once these were played out, even if you, as a planner, come up with a fourth event, you’d have to be able to stand out to make it count.
Therefore, Li Ming’s objective now was quite straightforward, to stand out as much as possible in the last event and get Shen Mengyi to notice him.
Li Ming might seem rather ordinary, but he was truly from a major family. He believed in planning before acting. Once at a disadvantage, he wouldn’t rush; as long as there was a gain, that was enough.
"It seems that Lin Tian already knows that he definitely can’t surpass us by building a house like ours."
Li Ming had only interacted with Lin Tian during this event, but Lin Tian had already caused him considerable loss.
Last night, he had already sent people to investigate Lin Tian thoroughly and realized more and more that Lin Tian was no simple character.
"Building a house in a tree is definitely harder than on the ground. Are they giving up on this segment?"
"No, for us, building in a tree may be harder than on the ground. But for some people, the difficulty might be the same. Moreover, even if the quality and stability of a house built in a tree are a bit lacking, it will score higher than a house on the ground."
With Lin Tian’s detailed information at hand, Li Ming immediately guessed Lin Tian’s plan.
"So, this time the first place is going to go to that Lin Tian again? What’s the point of us working so hard? Why not just casually give it a go?"
"How can we do that? If we do something, we must do it the best we can. What others do is not our concern."
This time, Lin Tian’s emergence had indeed disrupted Li Ming’s arrangements, but Li Ming wouldn’t waver because of this.
Instead, it ignited Li Ming’s competitive spirit. Lin Tian, you may have won this time, but next time I’ll be even more prepared.
"Wow! Lin Tian and Guo Rong really built a house in the tree, that’s amazing!"
When Shen Mengyi returned with the Dream Girls Team for the second time.
Lin Tian and Guo Rong had already constructed the main framework of the house.
The house was in the tree, but around the tree, four pillars had also been erected as supports.
Then, they used the place where the tree’s branches forked in the middle as the core to construct the main body of the house.
The rest was just a matter of adding some thicker branches to fill it out.
By noon, all the teams’ houses had begun to take shape.
The Dog Tail Hill Assault Team’s house was mostly complete; from the outside, it already looked presentable.
The Dog Tail Hill Mushroom Team and the Slacking Team had managed to erect their houses, but from the looks of it, they were more like sheds.
The Forest Treasure Hunt Team had so far only set up four pillars, and there was a significant disagreement within the team about what type of house to build.
Lin Tao thought they should build a steady, stable house, while Feng Jiabao believed that since they were already last, they might as well just throw up any sort of shed.
Looking at them, it seemed unlikely that they’d manage to create anything substantial by nightfall. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

Meanwhile, the Dream Girls Team had already completed the east and south sides of their treehouse. By evening, the treehouse would surely take shape.
Just as the students were energetically building their houses, on the other side of Dog Tail Hill, two SUVs pulled up.
Five burly men got out of the cars.
The Super Mercenary Corps had arrived!
"Do we really need such a big fuss over a college student? I could just go straight to that kid, punch his head to a pulp, and we’d have the job done."
One of the men, shaggy-haired and covered with thick body hair like a savage, grunted out his suggestion!
This guy wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he was strong.
The others remained silent, since they all had Lin Tian’s details. The target of this operation obviously wasn’t just some simple college student.
Yin Ye’s failure and capture were seen as a disgrace by Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin, who regarded Yin Ye as trash.
In reality, Yin Ye had been on the radar of the Super Mercenary Corps for years, and half a month ago, the Super Mercenary Corps had even sent someone to assess Yin Ye with the intention of recruiting him. They never expected him to fall into Lin Tian’s hands.
"Savage, it looks like you can handle this mission on your own, right? Maybe we won’t come along after all. You just go kill that Lin Tian and bring back his head,"
The man wearing glasses seemed to highly approve of Savage’s words, and the latter looked quite pleased with himself.
"Boss, you guys wait here; I’ll be back in a jiffy,"
Savage, full of excitement, darted into the Weasel Hills, leaving the others somewhat puzzled.
"Can Savage really take down that Lin Tian?"
An old man with a face covered in scars spoke up. This person was actually the handsome young man who had previously appeared; his name was Ghost Face. He was extremely adept at disguising himself. Almost every time he appeared, he presented himself in a different guise.
Even within the Devil Mercenary Corps, no one knew what Ghost Face’s real face looked like.
"Of course, it’s impossible. But Savage is a witless guy; he only believes in the power of his fists. Letting him try isn’t a bad idea. Monkey, follow him discreetly. If there’s a chance, help Savage kill Lin Tian. If there isn’t, get Savage and retreat immediately,"
The man with glasses was the leader of this squad, known to the others as Cobra.
He had an extremely high IQ and belonged to the brainiac level. Almost no one had ever seen Cobra take action; he was only responsible for devising strategies.
"Mengyi, the wood you guys found is too thin; the most crucial part of the treehouse is the base. The twigs you found won’t do. I’ll go find some sturdy stuff myself. You keep building. Stay safe,"
The treehouse was nearly built, but Lin Tian noticed a major issue—the base of the treehouse, when built with twigs, was unstable. Lin Tian decided to find some slightly thinner tree trunks to use directly for the base, which would make it very sturdy.
Of course, this task was left to Lin Tian. The others probably couldn’t chop down even two trees in half a day, let alone carry them.
"All right, you sure you can handle it alone? Should we get Guo Rong to help you?"
"No need. Let Guo Rong keep helping you guys here,"
Lin Tian looked at Guo Rong, who was being bossed around by Bai Ruolan, and thought to himself that there was only so much he could do to help his brother; the rest was up to him.
"How about I help you out?"
Bu Mengting became interested, but Lin Tian still declined. He possessed a superpower, and if he went alone, he would save a lot of time.
In the end, Lin Tian ventured alone into the depths of the forest, where he would encounter other students searching for wood near the edge. Only by going deeper could Lin Tian release his powers.
However, just as he had parted ways with Shen Mengyi and the others and had not yet ventured deep into the forest, he was stopped by someone.
A tall man stood in his way, dressed in a short jacket with a belt for trousers.
He looked like a farmer from the mountains, but Lin Tian knew this man was definitely not some mere tiller of the soil.
"Are you Lin Tian?"
Savage quickly located his target, but looking at Lin Tian’s slender arms and legs, Savage felt his enthusiasm wane. This target looked so weak, with no apparent fighting ability.
"Yes, and you are?"
"I’m Savage. I’m here to kill you. Hahaha! Die!"
Savage shouted and charged toward Lin Tian.
With his tall frame and long legs, Savage’s strides were faster than a regular person running, and he quickly reached Lin Tian’s side.
Swinging his hand as big as a fan-leaf, Savage slapped toward Lin Tian.
Lin Tian, intending to gauge Savage’s strength, put up his hand to block. Their bodies both shook from the impact, yet neither of them stepped back.
This guy is pretty strong to match up with me, even with my Ox Power Technique?
Lin Tian was immensely surprised that someone’s physical strength could match his own when enhanced by the Ox Power Technique.
"Hey, you’re pretty strong. But that’s even better; it would be boring to always dominate."
For the first time, Savage encountered an enemy whose strength was not far from his own, which immediately triggered his ferocity.
He kept throwing palm strikes at Lin Tian, who didn’t dodge but took him on head-to-head.
Savage relied on his innate Divine Power, while Lin Tian relied on the Ox Power Technique.
Each punch Savage threw diminished his strength slightly, and after a few punches, his force began to diminish. Lin Tian, on the other hand, maintained his peak condition.
Soon, Savage could no longer withstand the fight and received a punch to the chest from Lin Tian, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"If you don’t want to die, then tell me who sent you," Lin Tian said coldly, having a rough idea of who it could be. Still, he wanted to get the answer from Savage’s own mouth.
"Why should I tell you? It was my boss who sent me to kill you..."
As soon as Savage finished speaking, Lin Tian almost laughed; this guy was too straightforward. But he was also dangerous, and Lin Tian decided to disable Savage first.
However, just as Lin Tian was about to act, he suddenly sensed a hint of danger. A cold gleam shot toward him—a silver flying dagger!
The flying dagger came silently, piercing through the air.
"Another one?"
Lin Tian quickly sidestepped to avoid it.
