With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Lin Yu sat on the sofa, exhausted. Suddenly, his wristband beeped.
He opened it and saw a message from Bai Xiaosa.
"Lin Yu, where are you? My dad said he's already sent people to meet you, have you seen them?"
"No need! The assassins are all dead!"
"Huh? Could it be..."
"I killed them!"
Lin Yu's casual tone completely shocked Bai Xiaosa on the other end of the internet.
Sixteen assassins, and one of them was a fourth-order assassin. Even if your clones gave you an advantage and made you unafraid of being surrounded, how did you kill a fourth-order assassin?
"He must have run back and said that because he felt ashamed!" Bai Xiaosa breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to ask something else, there was a knock on the door.
With a creak, his father entered.
"Lin Yu killed all the assassins. I didn't help, but he also killed Li Wu and Li Cong, completely offending the Li family. Afterwards, if the Li family investigates and finds out Lin Yu killed them, they will surely retaliate. However, I will protect his life, and you will still go to Dongxu Academy!"
Bai Xiaosa's father, Bai Qianlang, was also quite surprised. A person with an A-grade talent awakening had done something that most S-grade awakeners couldn't. His shock was no less than Bai Xiaosa's.
Bai Xiaosa exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible, you're lying to me, right?"
Bai Qianlang sighed, "Let's just say I'm lying to you. Get ready, Elder Changxu from Dongxu Academy is here, you'll be leaving today!"
"I..." Bai Xiaosa was shocked by Lin Yu's strength. At this moment, the flame of desire to become stronger ignited within him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I understand!"
Bai Qianlang smiled, and even developed a bit of affection for the Lin Yu he had never met.
Being able to ignite his son's desire to become stronger was an unexpected bonus, and he could finally relax a bit.
The vast Bai family would need him to inherit it in the future.
Bai Xiaosa's awakened talent was a rare eye-type talent, which was exactly what Dongxu Academy needed. When Dongxu Academy received the Bai family's enrollment application, they had already decided to accept this student.
After all, the Dongguan Heavenly Eye was very suitable for their academy, and it was an S-grade talent, meeting the admission requirements.
When Dongxu Academy sent the admission letter, Bai Qianlang was ecstatic.
Dongxu Academy was one of the ten major academies. Although it ranked last, it was still one of the ten major academies.
Furthermore, this academy mostly admitted students with insight-type talents, and the requirements for talent level were not as high.
Many A-grade insight-type awakened individuals had a chance to enter the academy, though it was slim.
Bai Xiaosa, with his S-grade insight-type talent, had a greater advantage and a very high chance of admission.
The person who came to pick him up was an old man in a long robe with a flowing beard.
The old man exuded an elegant aura, and his eyes were different from ordinary people. Upon closer inspection, a faint red light could be seen. His pupils were also different, shaped like a peculiar flower.
"Elder Changxu, this is my son. Children are playful and ignorant. Today, I will entrust him to the academy!" Bai Qianlang said respectfully to the old man before him.
Elder Changxu chuckled, "We've both had our youth. I understand a child's feelings, so there's no need to blame yourself! With this Heavenly Eye power, your son's future achievements are limitless. Rest assured, his achievements will surely be significant!"
Bai Qianlang was overjoyed and couldn't hide his delight.
"Elder, please come this way!"
"No need. There are important matters at the academy, and I must return shortly."
"Elder, I'll escort you!"
Elder Changxu looked at Bai Xiaosa and smiled, "No need, child. Get ready, we're leaving!"
Elder Changxu smiled slightly, and a whisk immediately appeared beneath his feet.
The whisk glowed and in the next moment, transformed into a stream of light, carrying the two of them flying into the distance.
Like a meteor streaking across the sky, they vanished in an instant, leaving only Bai Qianlang behind.
He looked at the sky and murmured, "Go and study, go and explore, go and become stronger!"
Then, laughing heartily, he returned to Bai Xiaosa's room, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down.
Only after getting thoroughly drunk did the feeling of emptiness in his heart lessen somewhat.
...
For the next few days, there was peace.
The matter of Li Wu and his companion being killed went undiscovered, and Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, during these days, he had been extremely cautious when going out, disguising himself each time.
Zhao Ke had entered seclusion to cultivate again, and Lin Yu hadn't seen her for a long time.
"It's time to go back to school to research some information!"
It was difficult to break through his cultivation in a short period, so Lin Yu decided to learn more.
Last time in the secret realm, he had the idea of creating a skill, but had to abandon it due to a lack of relevant knowledge.
This time, he had a deeper understanding of the skill he wanted to create.
As he walked towards school, he pondered the feasibility of elemental clones.
"To create a skill, the prerequisite is that my energy can be freely converted into various elements. First, I need to understand the nature of energy!"
Unconsciously, he had arrived at the school.
Lin Yu went to the library and placed his ID card on the detection platform.
"Beep, detection passed. Please enter!"
Upon entering the library, he began searching for books describing energy.
Book after book was taken into his hands, piled high.
Carrying the books towards the reading area, he bumped into someone with a bang. Lin Yu reacted quickly, catching the falling books.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
On the ground, a girl clutched her head, a pained expression on her face.
Lin Yu asked, "Are you... okay?"
The girl, still holding her head, mumbled, "I... I'm not okay!"
She stood up, hands on her hips, looking furious. After a moment of feigned defiance, the pain in her head overwhelmed her.
"Ah, it hurts so much!" she said, holding her small head.
Lin Yu chuckled, "Let me rub it for you!"
"No!"
Lin Yu felt a bit guilty for bumping into her and saw that she was petite, only reaching his chin. This was why he had bumped her head.
"Then what do you want? It's not like you want money, right?" Lin Yu said.
The girl pouted, "Am I that vulgar person?"
But her tone shifted, leaving Lin Yu stunned. She continued, "If you give me three thousand star coins, I'll forgive you!"
Lin Yu laughed, "So you're a con artist. Get out of my way."
Lin Yu tried to push past her, but she suddenly fell to the ground and cried, "Wuwuwu, you're bullying me~"
The library was already quiet, and the commotion here attracted a lot of attention. Seeing the cute girl fall to the ground, she started scolding Lin Yu.
"How can you bully a little sister? Don't be afraid, I'll stand up for you!"
"Student, tell me your class and name!"
"This is... Lin Yu?!"
"What, it's that person!"
