Chapter 600: Scheming and a Great Victory

If the other party wanted to play riddles with him, he would gladly comply.

"Heh heh, as long as it went smoothly!"

Yuan Feng clasped his hands behind his back, smiling and nodding, like a smiling tiger. Then, he changed the subject and spoke again, "Lin Yu, I heard that you and Luo Tian have some grievances. Is that true? This time, the Dean made an exception and recruited both you and him as personal disciples. Could you set aside your differences for the sake of the Dao Academy?"

As he spoke, he also turned sideways and pointed to Luo Tian behind him.

Just by his appearance, it seemed like he genuinely wanted to mediate.

However.

Lin Yu's incredibly terrifying Immortal Emperor perception still caught the fleeting hint of amusement in Yuan Feng's eyes.

This made him raise his guard again.

According to previous procedures, he had already become the King of Fortune, meaning he was the Dean's only personal disciple, a fact that had never changed, and meeting the Dean was also a routine procedure.

It was normal for a disciple to meet his master.

But this time was different; not only did they bring in Luo Tian, with whom he had a grudge, but this guy was also rambling on, exuding a sense of treachery.

However, he wasn't very afraid; he still had two ultimate trump cards in his inner world, which could back him up no matter what happened.

So, he pretended not to see that hint of amusement, merely glancing coldly at Luo Tian and replying, "Senior, who is he? I have many people I've had grudges with, I can't remember them all. Please introduce him!"

There was arrogance in his respect.

Even a hint of disdain in his tone.

As if to say, not everyone was worthy of being remembered by him.

He was doing this on purpose.

If this guy wasn't upfront about his intentions, then he would just play it by ear.

Although he wasn't afraid, he didn't want to follow the other party's rhythm.

But his words instantly stunned Yuan Feng and Luo Tian.

Especially Luo Tian, who was such an arrogant person, even daring to scheme against his own main body.

Now, his cultivation had even reached the Half-Step Immortal Emperor realm.

And Lin Yu?

He had just emerged from the selection, and his cultivation hadn't even reached the Immortal King realm. How dared this guy ignore him like that?

That's right, it was indeed ignoring him!

To say that Lin Yu didn't recognize him, Luo Tian wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death. This guy had specifically targeted him in the Taixu Ancient Realm, snatched his opportunities, and even caused his system to fall into dormancy.

Originally, he had thought of using his current identity and cultivation to suppress Lin Yu.

But he didn't expect that this guy would claim not to recognize him upon meeting.

This was blatant disregard and contempt for him.

In an instant, his anger surged, and the aura of a Half-Step Immortal Emperor manifested from his body.

His fists were tightly clenched, and his eyes were filled with rage and killing intent.

As if he was about to directly attack at any moment.

"Luo Tian, don't act recklessly!"

Yuan Feng promptly intervened to stop him.

However, the look in his eyes towards Lin Yu was no longer playful, but rather filled with a hint of solemnity.

To be honest, Lin Yu's answer truly surprised him.

He had anticipated a conflict between the two, and he had also expected Lin Yu to recount his glorious past with Luo Tian.

But he never expected Lin Yu to simply ignore him.

This was far more frustrating than a thousand words.

It frustrated him, and it also frustrated Luo Tian.

This could be seen from Luo Tian's reaction.

In the first wave of mental comparison and confrontation, Lin Yu completely won.

He was even a step stronger than an old-timer like him.

It was the kind of feeling that made one half-dead with anger, yet utterly helpless against him.

Compared to the other three guys from the other three academies, this Lin Yu was even more monstrous.

One must know that although the other three academies already had the best candidates for the King of Fortune, their selections had not yet concluded.

His side had not only concluded, but he had also lost a round in his initial test.

Which left him speechless for what to say next.

However, this was just an appetizer for him; the Dean's place was the most important.

He could not recognize Luo Tian, but he didn't believe that Lin Yu would also not recognize Shangguan Yunxi, or Huang Daxian, or White Xiao Ya?

The reason Luo Tian was brought here this time was, firstly, to suppress Lin Yu and try to expose his weaknesses.

He would fan the flames from the side.

After all, Luo Tian's cultivation was evident, and Luo Tian also had his own opportunities; his fortune and monstrous talent were no less than any of the three, including Wang Teng.

This was also the Dean's instruction to him.

In his opinion, it should be that the Dean had contacted the Eternal Old Man through the higher-ups and obtained some useful information.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be targeting Lin Yu so much.

However, his little test here ended in failure, so he could only bring him to the Dean to deal with this little guy.

"Lin Yu, if you don't recognize him, then I won't say anything. Now, come with me, I'll take you to see the Dean!"

Yuan Feng regained his composure, then turned around and led the way, walking out of the hall first.

Luo Tian glanced at Lin Yu with his blood-red eyes and then also turned to leave.

Now was not the time to act; he had to wait for a moment when no one would restrain him, to kill Lin Yu in one fell swoop.

With his current ability, he could definitely crush Lin Yu.

Lin Yu sneered and followed him.

Luo Tian's thoughts were completely clear to him at his current level.

But this guy probably didn't know that he was also waiting for the same opportunity.

And that opportunity was in the Chaos Sea.

As long as they left this Starry Sky Universe, Luo Tian would be like a fish on a chopping board, at his mercy.

Lin Yu collected his thoughts and followed Yuan Feng out of the star-glowing hall door.

He had expected that outside the door would still be the familiar sight of the Star Dao Academy's core Inner Courtyard, just a few more steps on the way to see the Dean.

However.

The moment his toes touched the ground, an indescribable sense of spatial distortion instantly enveloped him.

Before his eyes was not the Inner Courtyard's pavilions and magnificent starry sky, but a bizarre, colorful, and rapidly swirling passage!

Yuan Feng's figure in front seemed to be strolling leisurely, but with each step he took, his body stretched and blurred at an incredible speed, as if compressing endless space into a small area.

This was not ordinary flying or evasion techniques; it was more like... stepping onto a pre-set, super-dimensional teleportation pathway!

"This..."

Lin Yu's heart trembled.

He clearly remembered that outside the main hall was a section of the Inner Courtyard!

He had entered the main hall by pushing open the door from there.

But now it was...

It had to be said, the Star Dao Academy's foundation was terrifyingly profound!

They had mastered the Star Dao and teleportation to such an extent.

He even suspected that the main hall's door was a multi-directional teleportation gate; entering from the Inner Courtyard would teleport one to that starry hall that didn't resemble a palace at all.

And walking out from inside would teleport one to another place.

Such a method could definitely not be arranged by an ordinary Immortal Emperor; it must have been set up by a strong individual who had studied both space and the Star Dao.

However, this bizarre scene did not last long.

In just a moment, the front suddenly brightened, and the dizzying sense of spatial distortion receded like a tide.
