121: Chapter 121 Starry Sky Brain, Sword Spirit, Capable of Fighting Grandmasters!

This was the first time Lin Yuan had heard the term "Transcendent." In the past, Chu Yunfeng had never mentioned such things to him, fearing it would affect his state of mind for cultivation.

"Senior, besides leaving me an optical computer, do you have any other good things?"

Lin Yuan rubbed his hands together like a fly, looking at the old man with a beaming smile.

"Uh... good things? I really don't have any. I didn't do very well back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been chased down, right?" the old man said, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Ah? This optical computer needs to connect to the Starry Sky Network, right? I can't even use it on Blue Star. Is there really nothing else? You had that jade box and the golden pillar of light; you made such a huge scene. If you say there's no inheritance or anything, who would believe that?" Lin Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Hahahaha... little friend, I've thought of something! I can pass on the insights I gained when I broke through to the Transcendent realm to you. It will be of great benefit to you," the old man laughed triumphantly.

"No need. Breaking through isn't difficult for me. Think of something else."

"Something else... I'm just a soul body that's about to dissipate. What could I possibly have?"

Seeing the look of disdain on Lin Yuan's face, the old man was so anxious he almost cried. He, a dignified Transcendent powerhouse, was actually being looked down upon by a kid at the fifth stage of the Martial Artist realm?

"Fine, fine, the optical computer it is then."

Lin Yuan wasn't the type to bully the elderly, and besides, there was no point in pressuring him; he truly couldn't produce any good items.

"Old Chu, is there any way to keep him from dissipating? To keep him in a soul body state like you?" Lin Yuan asked in his mind.

"Why bother keeping him? Just swallow him and be done with it," Old Chu said nonchalantly.

"Swallow your sister! You want to swallow everyone. I should just swallow you first. This is the only senior who ever made it out of Blue Star; how could I possibly stomach that? Hurry up, is there a way?" Lin Yuan said crossly.

"Fine, fine... There is a way, but his soul cultivation is too poor. There's only one method, and that is to make him your Sword Spirit. He must enter your sword. I will pass you a technique; have him cultivate according to it. It can prevent his soul from dispersing and even allow it to grow stronger continuously," Chu Yunfeng said.

Although Chu Yunfeng was inside the heavenly slaughter sword, he was not a Sword Spirit; he was merely residing within the sword.

"Then let him enter the swimming dragon sword first." Lin Yuan nodded, and Chu Yunfeng passed the technique to him.

"How should I address you, Senior?" Lin Yuan asked the old man.

"This old man is Huang Chaoran."

"Senior Huang, I have a way to keep your soul from dispersing, but you must become my Sword Spirit. Are you willing?" Lin Yuan inquired.

"Really? I've only heard of the Sword Spirit method. Do you really know it?"

Hearing this, Huang Chaoran jumped up in excitement. Who would want to kick the bucket if they could stay alive? Even if it was in another form.

"That's right. If you've made up your mind, I will help you become a Sword Spirit."

"What is there to think about? Let's do it!" Huang Chaoran said impatiently.

"Good! Relax your divine sense and don't resist."

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, he pointed a finger, touching Huang Chaoran's brow. An obscure technique appeared in Huang Chaoran's mind.

At the same time, a Soul Imprint was also etched into Huang Chaoran's Sea of Consciousness.

Huang Chaoran felt the Soul Imprint but said nothing. He cupped his fists in a deep bow: "Thank you, little friend."

Lin Yuan nodded calmly. The swimming dragon sword unsheathed, and Huang Chaoran turned into a streak of light, drilling into the blade.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and one must always be on guard. Who knew if this person was a treacherous villain or a virtuous man?

Lin Yuan saving him wasn't an obligation, but a favor.

A Soul Imprint wasn't asking too much, right? Lin Yuan was essentially his second parent; he was just asking for loyalty, not trying to devour him...

If he knew how to act appropriately like Chu Yunfeng, then Lin Yuan wouldn't mind helping him take revenge along the way.

...

Lin Yuan did not linger in the Martial God Tower any longer and exited directly. The moment he stepped out of the tower gate, the golden pillar of light in the sky dissipated.

At that moment, a fragrant breeze swept in, picking him up and vanishing without a trace in an instant.

Lin Yuan immediately recognized Mu Qianqian's face, so he did not resist.

Students on campus had all seen the pillar of light from the Martial God Tower and were discussing it fervently.

"Holy crap! What's going on with the Martial God Tower? I've never seen that before."

"Such a phenomenon... could someone have cleared it?"

"Who? To break through the tenth floor, that's making history!"

"Right? I heard someone from Moda University reached the ninth floor over a decade ago, but no one has ever reached the tenth floor."

"Could it be Lin Yuan? He's been to the ninth floor before."

"It must be him. Besides him, who else in Qing University has that kind of strength? As expected of Qingda University's strongest student, he's my idol!"

...

In the Dean's office, Mu Qianqian looked at him in shock, her eyes filled with intense excitement.

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you. You really do have the potential for the Transcendent realm. Lin Yuan, you might truly be my hope for going home," Mu Qianqian said expectantly.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly. "It's just the Transcendent realm, simple. Once I break through, I'll send you home."

"Mm-hmm!"

Mu Qianqian nodded heavily with joy, then said solemnly: "Lin Yuan, the commotion you caused today isn't small. All the various factions have likely noticed. This can't be hidden; you must be careful at all times."

"Careful?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.

"There's a rumor circulating among the factions that the top floor of the Martial God Tower hides an opportunity left by an expert who surpassed the Martial God Realm. It could be an inheritance or a secret treasure. So, some malicious people will inevitably plot to kill you and steal the treasure," Mu Qianqian said heavily.

"I see."

Lin Yuan nodded to himself, but he wasn't afraid. He was very confident in his current strength.

Moreover, he would soon be heading to the Military Department. He was confident that once he reached the battlefield, he would grow rapidly. At that time, even against a Martial God, it wouldn't be impossible to put up a fight...

"Lin Yuan, are you willing to become a disciple under Saint Su? With Saint Su protecting you, other factions might restrain themselves," Mu Qianqian suggested.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back, looking out with his head held high.

"No need. I'd like to see who dares to come after me. Do they really think I, Lin Yuan, am a pushover?" Lin Yuan radiated intense confidence.

"But... you must realize that those who move against you won't necessarily be of your generation. Even those at the ninth stage might act against you. You mustn't be careless."

Mu Qianqian said worriedly. She knew Lin Yuan was powerful and had personally slain a sixth-stage expert recently, but the ninth stage and the sixth stage were worlds apart...

Seeing her worried expression, Lin Yuan felt a warmth in his heart.

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan said softly: "Don't worry. I've earned enough credits and can apply for graduation today. Next, I'll be going to the Military Department. I'll leave my family in your care."

"As for the factions you mentioned, don't worry. I'll let you in on a little secret: my current strength is actually very high," Lin Yuan said, acting mysteriously.

"How strong?" Mu Qianqian blurted out.

Lin Yuan gave a mysterious smile, walked up to Mu Qianqian, and suddenly leaned down, bringing his head close to her ear. His strong masculine aura immediately made Mu Qianqian's cheeks flush red.

"My current strength... is capable of fighting a Great Sect!"

As the words fell, Lin Yuan laughed and stood up, walking toward the door. "Qianqian, I'm going home to see my family first."

With that, he left the Dean's office, leaving Mu Qianqian sitting there in a daze.

"Ca... capable of fighting a Great Sect? That's so exaggerated... You brat, just because you're graduating, you stop calling me Dean and dare to call me Qianqian..."

The shock in Mu Qianqian's eyes gradually turned into a smile, with a hint of sweetness hanging at the corner of her mouth...
