103: Chapter 103 The Holy Master of the Reincarnation Cult, S-Rank Demon Entrance Tower Challenge

The farce thus came to an end, and the New Student Competition could no longer be held...

Not only were the New Students lying all over the ground, but the floor had also been smashed to pieces by Lin Yuan, forcing the competition to be postponed to another day.

After announcing the postponement of the competition, Mu Qianqian also left the scene.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared; the senior students, having enjoyed the spectacle, left laughing and joking.

Meanwhile, the New Students, supporting each other, returned dejectedly to the dormitory area.

Lin Yuan hadn't been ruthless with the New Students; a lesson was enough. They were like a group of disobedient children who needed a scolding and some education, not a whipping.

These past two days, the hottest topic in the academy was undoubtedly centered around Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan directly became a star at Qing University, known to everyone, and his strength was even rumored to be miraculous.

It almost felt like he was a national idol, scaring Lin Yuan into not daring to go out, as there were enthusiastic fans everywhere.

...

Overseas, on a remote island, a magnificent and imposing palace stood. Inside, it was resplendent and luxurious to the extreme...

In the main hall of the palace, a huge sofa-couch was placed, covered with a snow-white beast fur blanket.

At both ends of the couch sat two stunningly beautiful women, dressed very scantily.

A Middle-aged man with an ugly face and a fierce, ruthless aura was lying on the couch.

His head rested on a pair of fair, jade-like legs, while his feet were propped up on another pair of jade legs. He held a red wine glass, shaking it gently, his eyes closed in enjoyment.

Suddenly, a dark, blurry human figure slowly materialized opposite the couch.

This person—no, it would be more fitting to describe it as this soul—had nothing under its feet; it was floating entirely. It was actually a soul body, emitting a thick aura of death.

Black Soul respectfully clasped its fists and said, "Holy Master, we've just received news that all our followers in the Great Xia capital were wiped out overnight..."

The ugly Middle-aged man lying on the couch abruptly opened his eyes and sat up sharply.

This man was the leader of the Reincarnation Cult and also the family servant who betrayed Mu Qianqian, Tu Zhenxiong.

With a *smash*, Tu Zhenxiong shattered the wine glass in his hand. "What? You said *all* the followers?"

"Reporting to the Holy Master, yes... all the followers seem to have vanished into thin air," Black Soul dared not hide the truth.

"Who did this? Could it be them? But my Reincarnation Cult operates in secret; it shouldn't be possible to wipe us out completely unless Ghost Remnant betrayed us. Is there any news of Ghost Remnant?" Tu Zhenxiong asked in a deep voice.

"There is no news of Altar Master Ghost Remnant. This subordinate investigated his residence; he seems to have left before the other followers were eliminated. His fate is unknown."

"How dare they move against my Reincarnation Cult! They have some nerve! Once my strength is restored, I will slaughter every last one of them and let the world know that I am the true master of this Blue Star!!!"

"Black Soul, investigate this personally. I want to know who targeted my Reincarnation Cult followers, Ghost Remnant's whereabouts, and how they obtained the list of our followers," Tu Zhenxiong commanded.

"Yes! Holy Master. Should we appoint a new Altar Master for the Capital branch? Continue developing followers?" Black Soul asked respectfully.

Tu Zhenxiong pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "No need. Let's investigate first. Without knowing where the problem lies, appointing someone would be a waste."

"Yes! Holy Master is wise! This subordinate will investigate immediately."

Black Soul respectfully bowed and then dissipated into the air...

Tu Zhenxiong's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He roared, "Get out, all of you!"

The two stunning beauties immediately turned pale with fright and ran out of the palace barefoot.

"Old Man Hua, Young Miss... was this your doing? It's useless, Young Miss. Don't worry, it won't be long before this old servant personally sends you on your way, hehehehe..."

The palace echoed with a creepy, sinister laughter that sent shivers down one's spine...

...

Two days later, Qing University welcomed a large group of guests—the visiting teams from the other three Sacred Academies.

This year's Sacred Academy Exchange Tournament happened to be hosted by Qing University, and the matches would be held there.

As soon as the three Sacred Academy teams entered Qing University, the campus immediately erupted. Everyone speculated about which academy would ultimately win the championship this time.

Among the New Students at Qing University, Lin Yuan was naturally the most highly regarded. However, among the three visiting teams, the most talked-about was Moda University's S-rank, said to be the Dean of Moda University's own grandson.

Having been strictly trained by the Dean of Moda University since childhood and supported by Moda University's various resources, this S-rank's strength was bound to be overwhelmingly superior among his peers.

How could someone like Lin Yuan, a martial artist from an ordinary city with no background, compare? Even if he also possessed an S-rank ability, he was inevitably no match.

As the Moda University team put it, they would inevitably crush Qing University's S-rank.

This immediately stirred dissatisfaction among Qing University's teachers and students, leading to a fierce war of words.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan had no idea the three Sacred Academy teams had arrived. He was solely focused on cultivating in his dorm, waiting for someone to notify him when the competition started.

...

At this moment, Lin Yuan had just finished cultivating. He opened a can of cola, lay on the sofa, and started watching the variety show *Fight! Brothers*.

Balancing work and rest wasn't bad. After he finished the Sacred Academy Exchange Tournament and earned enough credits, he probably wouldn't have the chance to rest later.

Just as Lin Yuan was enjoying life, Li Yuxuan rushed into the villa in a flurry.

"Yuan Zi! How can you have the leisure to watch variety shows and drink cola here? It's chaos outside! If you don't go, Qing University's face is about to be completely lost!" Li Yuxuan was so anxious he was hopping on the spot.

"I say, Little Xuan Zi, why are you so anxious? The Emperor isn't anxious, yet you, the eunuch, are? What's the situation outside? Tell the Emperor first."

Lin Yuan sat sprawled on the sofa, took a gulp of cola, and put on an imperial air.

"What the hell eunuch! Yuan Zi, stop joking around! The three Sacred Academy teams are here, right now at the Martial God Tower. Moda University's S-rank is challenging the tower! He reached the sixth floor in one go! The Moda University people are so smug, they're practically praising their S-rank to the heavens!" Li Yuxuan said indignantly.

"Sixth floor? Hmm, not bad," Lin Yuan nodded, offering his assessment.

"Our people say you can reach the ninth floor, but they call us braggarts. I really can't take it anymore! Yuan Zi, come with me quickly! Let's go climb it and show them, slap their faces!" Li Yuxuan grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and started dragging him out.

Lin Yuan, however, remained perfectly calm. Strength wasn't something to be flaunted.

"The first event of the exchange tournament tomorrow is tower climbing. If they want to climb now, let them. We'll see the results during the tournament tomorrow. Why go looking for trouble now?"

"But... just let them be so arrogant? We can't swallow this! We can't wait another moment! Everyone's waiting for your grand entrance! Don't let everyone down!"

Even though they would experience the bittersweet feeling of heaven one moment and hell the next tomorrow, Li Yuxuan truly couldn't wait another second. He wished he could rush over right now and slap their faces.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan slowly sat up, placed the cola can on the table, and paused the TV.

He stood up, stretched, and patted Li Yuxuan's shoulder.

"You have a point. Bullying us right at Qing University's doorstep... we should show them a thing or two. Otherwise, they'll think Qing University is easy to push around. It won't take much effort anyway. I'll just come back and finish this half-can of cola later."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and headed for the door.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuxuan instantly jumped three feet high. "Yes!! Let's go pick a fight!"

He then quickly chased after Lin Yuan, and the two headed straight for the Martial God Tower...
