139: How did he get expelled from the human race?

Returning to the dormitory, Lin Chuan rested for a night.

The next morning, Lin Chuan fed Little Ling most of the remaining energy fruit, barely managing to get her to Nine-Star Rank as well.

This little thing, who knows how much she usually snuck to eat; anyway, as long as Old Hei advanced a Star, she would advance a few days later, so Lin Chuan didn't need to deliberately feed her.

"We're broke, huh."

Lin Chuan looked at the energy fruit that only had three digits left, on the verge of tears.

What could a few hundred energy fruit do? It was enough for Old Hei to eat two meals.

Soon, these two foodies would run out of food, how worrying!

If it really came down to it, he could only make Old Hei suffer a few days of egg fried rice.

Under Little Ling's expectant gaze, Lin Chuan fed her the advancement fruit.

Instantly, illusory sword shadows wrapped around her, forming a golden sword cocoon.

Little Ling sat within it, seemingly enjoying herself greatly.

After that, there was nothing for Lin Chuan to do but wait quietly.

Now, Lin Chuan's only thought was to make money and Spirit Stones.

However, it seemed he had barely earned any Spirit Stones on his own since his debut!

He was either fleecing others or on his way to fleece others. The only Spirit Stones he earned through his own hunting was when he first left the city, collecting low-grade Materials for a month, only to exchange them for over five hundred Spirit Stones.

From then on, Lin Chuan completely abandoned this method of acquiring Spirit Stones.

Working was out of the question.

A man cannot get rich without ill-gotten gains, just as a horse cannot get fat without night grass.

If he was going to do it, he would do something big.

Although Lin Chuan was constantly being targeted by the Demon God Cult and the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, Lin Chuan was also targeting them!

What was this called? A mutual pursuit!

However, at least he had to wait for Little Ling to complete her advancement.

Without Little Ling's assistance, none of Lin Chuan's schemes to ambush others could be realized.

Pondering his future plans, Lin Chuan walked out of the room.

"You're awake."

Xia Yuan's voice came from the living room.

"Uncle Xia."

Lin Chuan turned his head to look. Xia Yuan was sitting on the sofa, having probably been there for a while.

Both the uncle and nephew were masters of stealth.

"Not bad, you've reached Gold Rank so quickly. I really didn't misjudge you."

It was more than just 'not bad'; he had heard this news from Xia Siye and it nearly made his jaw drop.

He immediately put down what he was doing and came over to see.

He also intended to comfort his nephew, telling him not to be discouraged by Lin Chuan and rush into things.

However, it seemed his comfort wasn't needed.

Xia Siye's changes astonished him even more; he was radiating sharpness, with a profound Foundation, clearly having reached the limit of Elite Rank, even the limit of the limits, with no worries about an unstable Foundation.

He had no idea that Xia Siye, following Lin Chuan, had slain countless Commander Rank Nether Beasts.

But he was certain that all these changes were brought about by Lin Chuan.

His own judgment was truly excellent!

"Uncle Xia, I plan to go for a stroll outside the school. I wonder what the situation is like outside recently?"

Lin Chuan naturally wanted to ask for information about the Demon God Cult and the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

"Alas, I believe you've also noticed that Xuanwu City appears peaceful on the surface, but it's actually not calm. Not to mention forces like the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, even the Nine Great Families are no longer united. Under the entanglement of interests, they might even come to blows... Moreover, there are signs of another Beast Tide erupting. So, I think it's safer for you to stay at school."

After a long roundabout explanation, Xia Yuan did not want Lin Chuan to go out and take risks.

"Uh, I should be fine just strolling inside the city, right?"

Lin Chuan would naturally not leave the city unless he had a way to deal with King Rank opponents.

Unfortunately, during the last College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, he didn't have time to get two death fruit.

"You see for yourself..." Saying that, Xia Yuan took out his phone, opened a website, and brought up an interface:

"Lin Chuan

Gender: Male (Questionable)

Race: Human (Questionable)

Age: 18 (Questionable)

Talent: B-Rank (Questionable)

Rank: Silver

...Bounty for killing: 100,000 Spirit Stones

Bounty for capturing alive: 200,000 Spirit Stones"

"Damn it!"

Lin Chuan immediately cursed aloud.

"See? You're already on the hunting lists of who knows how many organizations." Xia Yuan saw Lin Chuan's angry look and thought his goal had been achieved.

"What does 'Gender and Race Questionable' mean? Are all those assassin organizations idiots?"

Lin Chuan was furious. How did he get expelled from the human race?

And 'Gender Questionable'?

Questionable your ass!

Xia Yuan: "???"

Don't you know what's going on yourself? Your series of outrageous actions have already made countless people question reality!

However, it seemed Lin Chuan's focus was a bit off!

A mere Gold Rank, on the front page of the assassin bounty list, shouldn't he be trembling with fear?

Even Xia Yuan himself was only in the middle of the second page.

Of course, this list was not ranked by bounty price, but by cost-effectiveness.

Killing a King Rank for 5 million, versus killing a Silver Rank for 100,000 or 200,000, most people knew how to choose.

If Lin Chuan were to walk out now, even without leaving the school, he would immediately be targeted by countless hidden eyes.

"Uncle Xia, what is this website, and how do I register?"

Lin Chuan asked casually.

"Don't even think about it. I know what devious ideas you're planning. Don't actually think those people are idiots!"

Xia Yuan refused directly, and also took back his phone.

"Alright."

Lin Chuan didn't mind. As long as he knew someone was still thinking of him, Lin Chuan felt relieved.

Tears of gratitude were practically flowing from the corners of his mouth.

With 100,000 for you and 100,000 for me, Lin Chuan could immediately advance to Diamond Rank!

"Let's go. Come out with me. I'll take you to meet some big shots."

Xia Yuan patted Lin Chuan's shoulder, signaling him to follow.

"Big shots?"

"Hm, your unreliable dean is back. As for the others, you'll know when we get there."

Xia Yuan kept him in suspense.

Lin Chuan naturally had no objections; he was idle anyway.

Leaving the dormitory, they walked through several turns to a small building.

If Lin Chuan had to find it himself, he probably would never have guessed that this somewhat dilapidated small building was the dean's office.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Xia Yuan surprisingly knocked on the door this time.

Lin Chuan had expected him to just push the door open and walk in, then slam it shut on the way out, like last time at the principal's office.

"Ahem..."

Xia Yuan, seeing Lin Chuan's gaze, felt a bit uncomfortable. "Pay attention later, don't speak carelessly."

"Come in."

An aged voice came from inside.

Entering the room, three people were seated inside.

An old man with a pale face sat at the desk, presumably the dean.

Additionally, one person sat on each side.

One was a middle-aged man in black, and the other was an old man wearing a cloud-patterned robe.

"Dean... Venerable Xia, Feng Zun."

Xia Yuan greeted the dean, then bowed to the two people beside him.

No wonder even Xia Yuan had to be cautious; they were indeed true big shots.

"What, are you not even calling me 'Grandpa' anymore?"

The middle-aged man in black spoke with a strong voice.

"Pfft..."

Lin Chuan nearly spat it out, but managed to hold it in.

"Grandpa."

Xia Yuan was helpless, like a frost-bitten eggplant, standing slumped to the side.

Who would have thought that this person was Xia Yuan's grandfather? Xia Yuan looked older than his grandfather.

Entering King Rank and reshaping one's body, making one's appearance younger, was merely one of the insignificant functions.
