74: Chapter 74 Changes in the Attitudes of School Teachers and Students

He had stayed up all night.

He now had 160 experience points.

"160 points..."

Lin Fan muttered to himself. Without wasting any time, he used 100 experience points to level up.

[Ding! System level up! Level 14 → Level 15!]

[Late-stage Tier 3 Mage → Peak Tier 3 Mage!]

The moment the notification popped up,

a powerful force swept through his entire body.

The most obvious change was in his Soul Sea.

After stepping into the peak of Tier 3, it had expanded significantly.

Lin Fan took a moment to savor the thrill of becoming stronger.

Only then did he open the system panel again.

"Just 40 more points, and I can reach Tier 4."

Lin Fan felt a surge of joy, full of anticipation for the next realm.

Once he reached Tier 4, he would go settle the score with that red-eyed bear!

Lin Fan temporarily suppressed that thought.

He began preparing to go to the academy.

He finished washing up in a few minutes, changed into his school uniform, and went downstairs.

His mother saw him come down earlier than usual.

She was a bit surprised; Lin Duo hadn't even woken up yet.

"Haha, I woke up early today,"

Lin Fan explained.

He saw that his father was also there, having not yet left for work.

"Good morning, Dad."

"Mm. Your mother told me about what happened yesterday. Thank you. After the debts are paid off, we'll save the rest for you."

His father said with a serious expression.

"No need, you two should just use it all."

Lin Fan waved his hand with a smile.

"No, this is your reward for being an Adventurer for the first time. Take it to buy something you want, or use it however you like."

His father's tone was firm.

Lin Fan: "..."

He looked at his parents helplessly.

Sigh, these two were exactly the same—both incredibly stubborn.

"I understand."

Lin Fan gave up trying to persuade them.

His father nodded, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly spoke:

"Son, well done."

Lin Fan was slightly stunned. His mother was smiling gently by the side.

"Thanks, Dad."

Unlike usual, his father stayed today to finish breakfast with the family before heading out.

Lin Fan and Lin Duo left the house together as usual.

They parted ways once they reached Lin Duo's school, and Lin Fan continued to the academy alone.

Although he no longer worked at the library,

he still maintained his habit of arriving early.

At this moment, there were only a few teachers and students in the academy who, like him, were used to arriving early.

"Good morning, Senior Lin Fan."

A student took the initiative to greet him while passing by.

Lin Fan: "..."

He was taken aback; there wasn't a hint of mockery in the other person's tone.

"Strange,"

Lin Fan muttered to himself and continued walking.

But before long, he encountered a teacher, and the same thing happened again.

"Still so early. If only all the other students were like you."

The teacher nodded with a smile as they passed each other.

Lin Fan was completely bewildered.

'What on earth happened?!'

Classes proceeded as usual.

But Lin Fan felt that something was different.

The most obvious change was the attitude of his classmates toward him.

No one cast disdainful looks at him anymore, nor did anyone mock him behind his back.

In class, some teachers even took the initiative to ask him questions and have him participate in interactions.

The way the students looked at him had also changed.

Some looked at him with fear, others with admiration, making Lin Fan very uncomfortable.

What he didn't know was that

after yesterday's match, the vast majority of teachers and students had completely changed their views.

Lin Fan truly possessed real strength!

To be more precise, his incredibly rare Space Element was truly terrifying.

It would be truly foolish to continue treating him as they had before.

Especially now.

He was no longer a loser; he was already among the strongest tier in the academy, perhaps even the very best.

Many people were already secretly debating who was stronger between him and the goddess Su Linlin.

Besides that,

the students had seen Yang Xing's miserable state yesterday and knew what was what.

They no longer dared to treat Lin Fan as they used to.

Those who had once bullied or publicly mocked him were now all trembling with fear, terrified that Lin Fan would retaliate.

And those who hadn't really offended him began to ponder how to get on his good side.

As for the teachers, they wanted to make up for their mistakes over the years.

They had once ignored and discriminated against Lin Fan, turned a blind eye to him being bullied, and even scolded him in return when he reported it.

They felt they had been blind back then.

Now they only wanted to take the initiative to show goodwill and salvage the relationship.

After all, with the talent Lin Fan currently displayed, he was bound to shine in the competition and would certainly be noticed by scouts from various prestigious magic universities.

Once he was admitted to a top magic university,

he might even leave Baiyun City to pursue further studies elsewhere.

His future was already set; he was destined to become a great figure.

Who wouldn't want to establish a connection with him before he fully rose to prominence?

It was practically a zero-cost investment.

When Lin Fan became successful in the future, they could also benefit from the association.

After all, no matter how large Baiyun City was, it was still just a remote place without a single magic university.

As time passed, Lin Fan also gradually came to understand.

Those who hadn't spoken to him for years in the academy and treated him as if he didn't exist were now all taking the initiative to come forward and greet him.

There were even girls cornering him in the hallways, trying to ask him out.

Lin Fan only found it laughable.

Did they really think he was that easy to fool?

Now that they saw he had a future, they wanted to climb the social ladder through him? In their dreams.

With a blank expression, Lin Fan ignored all the students trying to strike up a conversation.

Facing the teachers' questions in class, his tone was also flat and devoid of any emotion.

The only thing that made him feel a bit more comfortable was

that there was one teacher who was still full of hostility toward him, with eyes as full of loathing as ever.

Yang Yong!

"Very well. I'll see what kind of expression you have once I defeat your favorite student."

Lin Fan sneered inwardly and walked toward the training ground.

One class after another passed, and it was finally time for the third round of the competition.

After the eliminations in the first two rounds,

the number of students had decreased significantly, and today's matches would end quickly.

Arriving at the training ground,

Lin Fan found a seat near the arena and sat down.

Quite a few students immediately crowded around upon seeing him.

"Hello, Senior Lin Fan. May we sit here?"

A beautiful girl with a striking figure smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
