4: Chapter 4: If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm.

However, constantly hiding one's capabilities isn't a long-term solution, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Batian and his wife couldn't help but frown.

"However, I have a proposal!"

Changing the topic, Lin Changqing slowly added.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Lin Changqing's words, both Lin Batian and Yan Ling simultaneously looked over at Lin Changqing.

The two of them really wanted to know what this brat actually wanted to say.

"Anyway, aren't all the various large and small Sects and experts around Great Xia Country full of disdain toward me right now?"

"If I wanted to enter their Sects, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible, right?"

Looking at his parents, Lin Changqing said slowly.

"What do you mean?"

Seeming to think of something, Lin Batian's expression changed slightly.

Soon, Yan Ling's expression also became extremely ugly.

Clearly, she also knew what Lin Changqing was preparing to do.

"Samsara Academy!"

Smiling faintly, Lin Changqing slowly said.

Hearing Lin Changqing's words, Lin Batian and Yan Ling subconsciously exchanged glances.

As expected?

Samsara Academy?

To put it bluntly, this was an extremely special faction.

It was true that it was terrifyingly powerful!

It was also true that it had branch academies everywhere!

However, not many people would choose to join it.

Very simple!

Because Samsara Academy was extremely cruel.

As long as one's talent was sufficient, anyone could join Samsara Academy.

However, whether one could survive depended on one's own ability.

Because Samsara Academy did not prohibit slaughter.

Samsara Academy's creed was: Prodigies under heaven are as numerous as carp crossing a river; only those who can survive from a cruel environment and successfully rise are true prodigies!

Just like Great Xia Country?

There were indeed quite a few prodigies here!

However, over the past decade, those with the courage to join Samsara Academy could be counted on one hand.

And as for being able to survive, there wasn't a single one.

Precisely because of this, Great Xia Country did not choose to join Samsara Academy.

Even now, Samsara Academy still had a stronghold in the imperial city of Great Xia Country.

This stronghold was set up specifically for recruiting students.

"Son, why don't you think about it carefully?"

"Samsara Academy is too cruel!"

"Moreover, with your current strength and talent, if you want to join some Sects, presumably they won't refuse, right?"

Staring into Lin Changqing's eyes, Yan Ling persuaded.

"No!"

"Mother, my mind is made up!"

"A person cannot stand firm without being ruthless, right?"

"How can we talk about rising without being ruthless to ourselves? Moreover, I have a reason why I must go to Samsara Academy!"

Shaking his head, Lin Changqing said with a gaze full of determination.

Actually, the reason Lin Changqing chose Samsara Academy was also after careful consideration.

Although there were quite a few Sects and factions around Great Xia Country, and even no lack of extremely powerful existences,

they could not give Lin Changqing what he wanted.

Furthermore, with his past reputation, if he wanted to join these factions, he would probably face exclusion and targeting, right?

Why should he bring humiliation upon himself?

However, Samsara Academy was different.

As long as you dared to join, they dared to recruit.

As long as you displayed enough potential, they dared to nurture you.

More importantly, Lin Changqing knew that there was a special branch inside Samsara Academy.

That was the Alchemy Branch.

Rumor had it that the Alchemy Branch of Samsara Academy had numerous Alchemy Great Masters?

What he needed to do was learn Alchemy.

If his Alchemy talent was outstanding, wouldn't he be able to personally refine some Medicinal Pills needed when he suffered backlash after the Martial King Realm?

The problem of the backlash would be readily solved.

Even if he had no talent, wouldn't it be good to make the acquaintance of some Alchemy Great Masters?

In this way, the problem of Medicinal Pills would no longer be a problem!

Besides!

He had awakened the Forbidden Dao Meridian!

Did he need to be afraid of a mere Samsara Academy?

Without even this bit of courage, how would he cope with the targeting of the Heavenly Dao in the future?

"..."

Lin Changqing's words left his parents speechless.

In the very end, they were still persuaded by Lin Changqing.

The result was...

In the afternoon, Lin Changqing left Xiaoyao Estate.

Behind him followed two guards of the Martial King Realm.

To put it bluntly!

As soon as Lin Changqing appeared, he became the focus of the surroundings.

However, his status as the focus was somewhat unusual.

Seriously?

How bad was his reputation before?

Just how many bastardly things did he do?

Sigh!

It's too hard!

However, Lin Changqing did not intend to dwell on it too much.

Anyway, it wouldn't be long before he left the imperial city.

What was there to care about with this?

However...

some discussions around him made him break out in a cold sweat of embarrassment.

"I heard that Xiaoyao Estate was washed in blood last night? How come this guy wasn't wiped out?"

"Yeah! What a pity! Truly, the good don't live long, while scourges last for a millennium!"

"He only dares to act tyrannically here; once he leaves Great Xia Country, I'm afraid he won't even know how he died, right?"

"Leave? Does he have a chance to leave? In the past, Prince Xiaoyao hasn't tried few times to stuff him into the Sects and factions around Great Xia Country, right? And the result? Weren't they all rejected?"

"Makes sense!"

"Eh? Haven't you guys noticed that there seems to be something wrong with him? He seems a bit different from before?"

"..."

Along the way, Lin Changqing was greeted with countless gazes and discussions.

Facing all this, Lin Changqing maintained a completely calm attitude.

Rather, the expressions of the two Martial Kings behind him were somewhat complicated.

Half an hour later, Lin Changqing arrived at the central area of the imperial city and came before a mansion.

On the plaque at the entrance, two large characters were written.

Samsara!

Without any hesitation, Lin Changqing knocked on the door in front of him.

"Who is it?"

Before long, the gate opened with a creak.

An old man wearing a gray long robe with a crane-like complexion and child-like face appeared within Lin Changqing's line of sight.

This was an expert at the Half-Step Martial Emperor level!

It can be seen that Samsara Academy was exceptionally fierce.

Just any random stronghold had an expert of this level.

You must know that the surface-level strongest expert in Great Xia Country was merely at the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm.

"Eh?"

"So it's the heir of Xiaoyao Estate! Is there something you need?"

"Wait, no? Aren't you unable to Cultivate? What is your cultivation realm now?"

Glancing at Lin Changqing, the old man said in surprise.

Afterwards, he looked at Lin Changqing with eyes full of disbelief.

This brat actually possessed the strength of the Third Layer of the Void-Flying Realm?

If he wasn't strong enough himself, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through his strength, right?

Presumably, this brat's Cultivation Technique was extremely special?

Anyone whose strength wasn't far superior to his simply couldn't see through his cultivation realm!
