112: A gift for Lin Chuan

Hearing Lin Chuan say he had started the live broadcast, Long Chenhao's face alternated between red and white, but in the end, he could only reluctantly accept it.

He stepped onto the back of the Frost Dragon and immediately took flight, deciding to get as far away from Lin Chuan as possible.

With half the time remaining, he had to hurry and earn points.

Originally, he was absolutely confident in taking first place, but then Lin Chuan unexpectedly appeared.

Although he didn't care about rankings, it would still be very embarrassing to drop down. At the very least, he couldn't fall out of the top two and be suppressed by Xia Siye again... As for Lin Chuan, he could only deal with him after they got out.

What kind of background did he have to dare to disregard the Long family so much?

"..."

In the live broadcast room, billions of viewers fell silent simultaneously.

In one day, Lin Chuan had already 'robbed' fifteen thousand Spirit Stones, which was even more ruthless than robbing a merchant association.

Of course, only true Geniuses would be willing to pay this amount, or, like before, 'buy' the resources of an entire mountain.

But the terrifying part lay precisely in this: Geniuses indicated considerable combat power and were arrogant; who would be willing to be trampled underfoot?

Yet, Lin Chuan succeeded, successively robbing the two strongest Geniuses of Xuanwu City.

Just thinking about it sent shivers down one's spine.

And selling the collection rights to a mountain sounded even more absurd; it would require at least killing or driving away two Commander-level Demon Beasts and thousands of Elite Rank Yao Beasts... At least, before the College Entrance Examination began, no one had expected such a bizarre thing to happen.

Or rather, it had never happened in hundreds of years... In District 81, a branch of the Beast Tamer Association.

"Damn it, this kid, he's got some real guts!!!"

Qin Yan cursed, but a smile couldn't be hidden from his eyes.

Inside the office, there were two other people.

One was Minister Jin, the head of the Education Department of District 81, and the other was Xia Yuan, a teacher from Yu Ming Academy of Xuanwu University.

"Excellent, excellent, the more I look, the more he suits my taste; he's practically born for my Yu Ming Academy."

Xia Yuan's face showed even greater joy, his dark complexion even appearing a bit red.

"That Xia Siye is your nephew, isn't he? Aren't you angry?" Qin Yan asked with a smile.

"What's there to be angry about? That was my welcome gift to Lin Chuan," Xia Yuan said nonchalantly.

"What?"

Qin Yan and Minister Jin were both shocked at the same time.

Five thousand Spirit Stones, just given away for free?

From his tone, it seemed as if it had already been arranged before entering the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm.

Who would have thought, who would have thought, that this Xia Yuan, who appeared honest and simple on the surface, would actually be so cunning!

"Senior Brother, didn't I tell you? Lin Chuan must join my Yu Ming Academy, even if his points are zero," Xia Yuan said seriously.

He also came from Xuanwu University, and Qin Yan was more than twenty years his senior, so he should rightfully call him Senior Brother.

After investigating, Lin Chuan's background was very simple. The only thing worth noting was his close relationship with Qin Yan, leading to suspicions that Qin Yan had secretly cultivated him, keeping him hidden.

Judging by Lin Chuan's skilled wilderness survival techniques and methods of hunting Yao Beasts, it indeed seemed like he had trained for a long time outside the city.

Therefore, Xia Yuan came personally; as long as he could persuade Qin Yan, he would naturally secure Lin Chuan.

As for Minister Jin, Lin Chuan's performance was simply too terrifying, and he needed someone to be shocked with him.

Lest he couldn't handle it when people from above came. District 81's performance this year had already gone beyond the scope of pleasant surprises; anything extra was just a fright.

However, seeing Xia Yuan's demeanor, Lin Chuan likely had a destination. With the Xia family and Xuanwu University taking the lead, what could a small district education minister do?

"I can't decide where Lin Chuan ultimately goes. You haven't seen it, but the admission letters at his home are piled up like a mountain. However, thankfully, I haven't seen any from Xuanwu University, otherwise, I wouldn't know where to put my old face."

These direct letters of admission were naturally all attempts to get him for free.

Then, Qin Yan changed the subject and said, "However, your approach is correct. Lin Chuan told me that he would go to whoever offered the best conditions. I didn't expect someone as outwardly honest as you to think of this in advance."

"Haha... With Senior Brother's words, I can rest assured," Xia Yuan said, overjoyed.

"However, you must clearly explain all the information about Yu Ming Academy to Lin Chuan in advance, and then let him choose for himself. If there is any concealment, I will not let him go," Qin Yan warned sternly.

"Senior Brother, rest assured, I, Xia Yuan, always act honorably."

"Alas, I wanted to go but wasn't selected, that guy was chosen, but he gave up and ran back to be some lousy principal..."

Recalling the past, Qin Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"I've also heard of Senior Brother Changqing's righteousness. It's a pity, if he had entered Yu Ming Academy, he would definitely have been an astonishingly sharp sword!"

Recalling old friends, there was only a sigh.

He then said no more, continuing to focus on Lin Chuan's live broadcast... After Lin Chuan finished his 'robbery', the beast horde had gradually dispersed.

This area was already nearing the edge of the Secret Realm.

A body of water, like a white cloth, separated the land from the Chaos at the Secret Realm's edge.

Before him were several small mountains.

Most of the beast horde had just trampled through here, flattening the entire mountain.

He had played enough; Lin Chuan finally remembered it was time to get down to business.

"Damn it, where are my Yao Beasts?"

There were originally four or five Commander-level Demon Beasts in the horde, but now they were nowhere to be seen.

"Never mind, let's rest first."

Saying that, Lin Chuan had Old Hei go up the mountain; there should be a place to settle there.

And indeed, that was the case.

Originally, there was a Commander-level Demon Beast on this mountain, but then the beast tide struck.

It was swept away, who knew where, and hadn't returned yet.

Inside the beast's lair, it was very clean, with no strange smells. The sleeping area was even covered with some bird down. It seemed to be a Yao Beast that enjoyed comfort.

Besides that, Lin Chuan also found many good things, mainly Spirit Stones and colorful gems, as well as many Spirit Fruits.

Lin Chuan directly absorbed the Spirit Stones.

As for the gems, Lin Chuan kept a few of the most perfect and beautiful ones, and threw the rest to his bracelet, exchanging them for over a thousand points.

After casually eating a few Spirit Fruits, Lin Chuan had Old Hei guard the entrance and then went straight to rest.

"Meow!!!"

Halfway through his sleep, Lin Chuan was suddenly awakened by a piercing cry.

"Old Hei!"

Lin Chuan instantly got up, looking around vigilantly.

Through the faint light filtering in, Lin Chuan saw a pair of glowing eyes appear where he had just been sleeping, staring intently at him.

"Holy crap!"

Old Hei was clearly faithfully guarding the cave entrance, so how did this thing get in?

Summoning Old Hei to his front, the cave instantly brightened.

Only then did Lin Chuan see clearly: it was a cat?

Blue and white fur, a pair of gem-like eyes, the left one as deep as the starry sky, the right one as brilliant as the scorching sun.

It was about the same size as a common Ragdoll cat, and quite beautiful.

This thing? Was it the original owner here? A Commander-level Demon Beast?

Lin Chuan was momentarily a little bewildered.

The key was that it hadn't ambushed Lin Chuan while he was sleeping, so Lin Chuan didn't make a move either.

And so, they stared at each other.
