41: Chapter 41 People from the Four Holy Academies Arrive

Lin Yuan walked over and said to Wang Hao, while also nodding to Xiao Qing.

"Uh---no, not implicated. He just didn't let us out, he didn't hurt us,"

Wang Hao quickly waved his hands.

"Alright, it's fine now, let's go out,"

"Good, good, Brother Lin, please go first,"

Wang Hao quickly moved aside from the doorway, letting Lin Yuan go first.

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, leading the way out of the Crimson Forest, with Wang Hao and Xiao Qing closely following behind.

After leaving, Lin Yuan immediately called City Lord Zhao, while Wang Hao explained the situation inside to the staff at the entrance.

A moment later, three vehicles from the City Lord's Mansion sped over; it was Zhao Yan leading the Mansion Soldiers who had arrived.

Zhao Yan waved his hand, and Captain Yang immediately led the Mansion Soldiers charging into the Crimson Forest to investigate the situation.

"Uncle Zhao, hello, you actually came personally to lead the team,"

Wang Hao quickly stepped forward to salute upon seeing Zhao Yan.

"Heh heh---it's the Wang family kid, hello, hello,"

Zhao Yan replied with a smile.

"Old Brother Zhao, thank you for making this trip,"

Lin Yuan spoke up.

"Uh---"

Before Zhao Yan could speak, Wang Hao became instantly awkward. Just a moment ago he was calling the person 'Brother Lin' and 'Little Brother,' and now in the blink of an eye, he was a generation lower than him. Could there be anything more awkward?

"It's no trouble. Your matters, Brother Lin, are my matters, Old Brother. Why stand on ceremony? Haha---"

Zhao Yan laughed heartily.

Captain Yang walked out of the Crimson Forest at this time and whispered a few words into Zhao Yan's ear.

Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing an expression of disbelief. He turned to look at Lin Yuan, unable to conceal his shock.

"Brother Lin, you truly shock me. In your call, you said you killed someone from the Liu Family, and it turned out to be the Old Family Head of the Liu Family! That was a Third Order expert!

It seems everyone underestimated you. You are far more than the First Order Peak you displayed during the Martial Arts Examination. If the world knew of your strength, how many geniuses' Dao Hearts would shatter? Hahahaha---"

Zhao Yan said in shock. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed Lin Yuan could slay a Third Order expert even if he were beaten to death.

"Old Brother Zhao overpraises me. Liu Hansheng's combat power wasn't even up to the standard of early Third Order; at most, it was only 250,000 combat power,"

Lin Yuan said humbly.

"Even if he was at the bottom among Third Order experts, that's still a genuine Third Order. Brother Lin, stop being so modest."

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly and could only shake his head with a smile. If Chu Yunfeng hadn't provided him with backup, he truly wouldn't have dared to fight Liu Hansheng head-on.

After all, he had never encountered an opponent this strong, whose combat power was seventy to eighty thousand higher than his own.

It was also thanks to his higher Ability level and advanced Martial Arts that he could handle the opponent.

...

In the admissions office of Qing University, a Middle-aged man was sitting in front of his desk. In his hand, he held a student file, and standing before him were two younger teachers.

"Director Li, this is the latest information. I heard his Ability level was misjudged before; he actually has an S-rank Spatial Ability,"

said a young male teacher.

"An S-rank? Great Xia hasn't seen an S-rank in three years, and now there are two appearing at once. One is the grandson of the Moda University Principal, and he will definitely enter Moda University.

As for this S-rank national top scholar, our Qing University must secure him, otherwise, we are destined to be suppressed by Moda University for years to come,"

Director Li said solemnly.

This Director Li was named Li Cangfeng, a Middle-aged man with a very imposing appearance. He was precisely the Director of Admissions for Qing University, and his face was currently filled with excitement.

Originally, he would have fought to recruit the national top scholar, but since the person was also S-rank, he absolutely had to bring him into Qing University.

"Director Li, Moda University has also received the news, and they will likely fight with all their might for this top scholar. Moreover, Rong University and Qin University also seem prepared to offer their greatest sincerity this time,"

said a young female teacher.

"Hmph! Then let's wrestle with them and see which family this S-rank top scholar falls to!"

Li Cangfeng pounded the table with confidence.

"Director Li, let me go this time. I guarantee I will recruit this S-rank top scholar into Qing University,"

the male teacher stepped forward.

"I can go too!"

The female teacher also stepped forward.

Recruiting Lin Yuan into Qing University would definitely be a huge achievement, leaving a deeply significant mark on their career records.

"No! This time, I will go personally!"

Li Cangfeng said solemnly. This matter was too important to allow any mishaps!

Hearing this, the two dared not say anything more; they also understood the degree of importance Li Cangfeng placed on this recruitment.

...

Moda University was indeed preparing to compete for this recruitment. Having two S-ranks, they certainly wouldn't refuse.

This time, their Director of Admissions had also decided to go personally, because Lin Yuan was worth the attention of Moda University.

The same situation occurred at Rong University and Qin University. The rankings of these two Sacred Academies had always lagged behind. If they could recruit Lin Yuan this time, they would have a great chance to completely change the current situation.

Therefore, both Sacred Academies were doing everything they could, preparing to fight wholeheartedly for Lin Yuan.

...

The next day, Lin Yuan was drinking tea with Zhao Yan and Qi Tianheng at the City Lord's Mansion.

The case involving the Liu Family had just concluded. Lin Yuan acted in self-defense, and there were two witnesses.

The City Lord's Mansion also investigated the matter of Liu Ning assaulting Lin Anran previously, making the Liu Family's crimes even more severe. As for how Liu Ning disappeared, no one paid attention, so Lin Yuan would not face any repercussions.

All remaining servants of the Liu Family were dismissed. The Liu Family's properties had already been absorbed by the Wang Family, who were the first to receive the news. The Liu Family's Martial Arts hall was also taken over by the Wang Family.

Lin Yuan had no objection to this; Wang Hao was considered his friend, and he had no interest in those properties.

Actually, the biggest beneficiary was Lin Yuan, because after killing Liu Hansheng, he collected Liu Hansheng's storage ring.

Inside was the entire fortune of the Liu Family. Although the Liu Family wasn't a commercial family, their wealth was astonishing. Lin Yuan currently had over sixty million in cash alone, not counting the value of other cultivation resources.

However, these cultivation resources were not of great help to Lin Yuan; what he needed more was a soul body, though he could exchange them for other materials later.

Just as Lin Yuan was discussing some matters of the Martial Arts world with the two older brothers, his phone rang; it was Principal Tang Weiguo calling.

"Lin Yuan, the people from the Four Great Sacred Academies have arrived. Hurry to the school,"

Principal Tang Weiguo said urgently.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lin Yuan remained relatively calm. It wouldn't be a loss for him to go to any one of the Four Great Sacred Academies.

When Lin Yuan walked into the Principal's office, he saw four people with extraordinary bearing sitting on the sofa opposite.

One was an imposing Middle-aged man, one was a youthful and beautiful woman, one was a kind old man, and one was a refined Middle-aged man.

They all exuded faint auras, clearly all being Grandmasters without a doubt.

Lin Yuan swept them a glance, then walked over calmly, sat down opposite them generously, and gave them a slight smile.

"Lin Yuan, these four are the Directors of Admissions from the Four Great Sacred Academies. They all came personally for your sake,"

Principal Tang Weiguo introduced with a smile.

Principal Tang Weiguo was extremely happy today. Having the Directors of Admissions from the Four Great Sacred Academies gathered in his office was something he could boast about for many years.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, teachers, for your consideration. I don't know much about the Sacred Academies, so I hope the four of you can enlighten me."

Lin Yuan's words were very tactful, meaning: show me what sincerity you have...
