57: The future is bright, the future is bright!
Lin Yu did not respond to the representative's roar.
He merely flicked his wrist gently.
Crack!
A crisp sound of bone cracking was particularly jarring in the deathly silent main platform.
"Ah—!"
The company representative let out a bloodcurdling scream, and his entire body was thrown back like a rag doll, flying seven or eight meters, knocking over a row of chairs before he came to a stop, disheveled.
The entire venue was in an uproar!
Lin Yu shook his hand, as if merely dusting off some dirt.
He pulled the pale Lin Yao behind him, using his body to completely shield her from the dozen pairs of greedy eyes.
Hiding behind her brother's broad back, smelling his familiar, reassuring scent, Lin Yao's heart, which had been pounding as if to burst from her chest, miraculously calmed down.
All the fear, grievance, and anger, at this moment, transformed into infinite reliance.
With her brother here.
There was nothing to fear anymore.
"You dare to lay a hand on me?!"
Feng Rui, the Vice President of Fengxing Technology, was completely enraged.
He had never expected that this 'trash' in his eyes would dare to attack them, these important figures, in broad daylight!
"Security! Where's security?! Grab him for me!"
"A piece of garbage abandoned by the school dares to act so wildly here!"
The fat representative from Panshi Biology also roared, veins bulging on his fleshy face.
However, they did not charge at Lin Yu again.
The strength this young man had just displayed made them wary.
But they could not let Lin Yao merge!
A customized purple genius was priceless! Once she merged, it meant that this greatest value point would completely disappear!
"Go around!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Feng Rui's eyes as he gestured to a few people beside him.
"He's only one person! We'll split up! Hold down that girl! Absolutely don't let her merge!"
Instantly, four or five representatives, as if receiving an order, immediately rushed from another direction, encircling Lin Yao!
They wanted to bypass Lin Yu, this tough nut, and directly control their "commodity"!
The school leaders and teachers tried to stop them but were roughly pushed aside.
"Get out of the way! Don't block the path!"
Just as those dirty hands were about to touch Lin Yao.
Lin Yu was about to move.
A even more burly figure, like an iron tower, suddenly blocked the representatives' path.
It was Zhao Tianyang!
He had rushed onto the main platform at some point, his massive body completely blocking the walkway.
"Move aside!"
A representative roared.
Zhao Tianyang said nothing, merely stood there, the oppressive aura belonging to the Asura, imbued with a killing intent, unreservedly released.
The company representatives, who usually lived pampered lives, felt their legs go weak and their breathing become difficult under this surge of aura.
They were professionals, but their level was too low, and they were all support professions; they had never seen such a display.
"Zha... Zhao Tianyang?"
Feng Rui recognized this fierce individual who had just awakened a Mythic-tier profession, and his heart sank sharply.
Why would he come here?
Why would he help Lin Yu?
"Student Zhao! This has nothing to do with you! Our Fengxing Technology is willing to offer five million to ask you to step aside!" A representative quickly spoke up.
Zhao Tianyang ignored them, unmoved.
It was this momentary distraction.
The Dean on the main platform seized the opportunity, rushed to Lin Yao's side, shielded her with his body, and roared.
"Lin Yao! Don't mind them! Choose! Choose according to your own thoughts!"
Lin Yao nodded heavily.
She no longer hesitated; behind the double barrier built by her brother and Zhao Tianyang, and under her teacher's protection, she extended her slender finger and, with unwavering resolve, pointed towards the center of that purple sea of stars!
"Merge!"
Buzz—!
Thousands of purple light beams, at this instant, as if receiving some supreme command, converged simultaneously towards that central point!
The light was dazzling!
The entire world seemed to be left with only that ultimate purple!
When the light faded.
A brand new, red rune, emanating infinite mystery and majesty, quietly floated before Lin Yao.
Its light was deeper and more ancient than any of Zhao Tianyang's previous professions.
Another... Mythic-tier profession!
The Omniscient Sage!
However, looking at this red rune, which represented supreme glory, everyone on the main platform felt not a trace of joy.
Lin Yao herself was the same.
She had succeeded; she had awakened a Mythic-tier profession that even she had not expected.
But she couldn't be happy at all.
The ugly faces of those people just now, their remarks treating her as a commodity and a breeding tool, had deeply pierced her heart.
This glory came too humiliatingly.
"Bastard!"
Feng Rui looked at the golden rune, feeling as if his heart was bleeding, his face twisted, letting out an unwilling roar of anger.
"It's over! It's all over!"
The fat representative from Panshi Biology plopped onto the ground, the fat on his face jiggling wildly.
A customizable purple genius, gone!
Their grand blueprint to carve up the future, monopolize the market, and mass-produce talented offspring, was completely bankrupt!
Losses in the hundreds of billions!
How were they going to explain this to the board of directors!
The dozen or so representatives from large companies all had ashen faces at this moment, their expressions towards Lin Yu and Lin Yao filled with malice and hatred.
Lin Yu shielded his sister behind him, ready for a fierce battle.
However.
A strange thing happened.
Feng Rui, who had just looked like he wanted to devour someone, after his initial rage and loss of composure, his expression slowly, gradually calmed down.
He stared intently at the rune of The Omniscient Sage, the malice in his eyes gradually replaced by another, even more fervent emotion.
It was still greed!
He suddenly stood up, straightened his suit, and even forced out a stiff smile on his face.
The representatives from other companies also reacted one after another.
That's right!
The customized genius was gone.
But this one before them was still a genuine Mythic-tier professional!
Although uncontrollable, Mythic-tier was Mythic-tier! Its future potential was equally immeasurable!
Sign her!
Having realized this, the atmosphere on the main platform instantly underwent a peculiar change.
Feng Rui was the first to step forward, he faced Lin Yao, showing what he thought was a kind smile, even bowing slightly.
"Student Lin Yao, congratulations on awakening a Mythic-tier profession."
"Just now... we were too excited, and our attitude was a bit poor. On behalf of Fengxing Technology, I sincerely apologize to you here."
These words left the school leaders and teachers dumbfounded.
Apologize?
How could their expressions change so naturally?
The fat man from Panshi Biology also got up, brushed the dirt off his clothes, and approached with a face full of smiles.
"Yes, yes, Student Lin Yao, we were in the wrong. We were just too eager for talent, momentarily confused, please don't take it to heart."
"The Mythic-tier profession The Omniscient Sage, has boundless prospects, boundless prospects!"
