47 Invitation from Tai Yi Academy, Whispers in the Shadows
In the Wang Corporation building.
Wang Shoucheng stared out of the french windows at the huge tree that could destroy a building. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he swallowed his saliva.
“Patriarch, should we…
“Find a way to mend our relationship with Lin Sen?”
A young man with thick hair asked with a complicated expression. His forehead was also covered in a cold sweat.
“After all, Miss Yanran has some history with Lin Sen. It’s not too late for us to make amends now!”
“No…”
After a long silence, Wang Shoucheng sighed, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
“The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!
“Although this kid is powerful, he has undoubtedly angered the public. Even if Han Tianlin can’t do anything to him, there will be people from the capital who will find trouble with him.
“I know that everyone there is a bunch of lunatics, paranoids and fanatics. And for Lin Sen, with so much exposure, it’s only a matter of time before he brings destruction upon himself when he arrives in Mo Capital.
“We’ll pretend nothing happened.
“Right, Han Tianlin has actually broken through to the Black-gold grade. It seems that the alliance between our two families has to continue.”
A hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.
“Inform Wang Yanran to come with me to the Han Corporation tonight to be engaged to Han Tianlin’s next heir!”
“Yes!”
…
“Hahaha, little fellow, don’t be afraid.”
The white-bearded old man, who was emitting a seven-colored divine light, laughed loudly. His narrowed eyes curved downwards, making him look very amiable and talkative.
“I’m the principal of Tai Yi Academy, the number one academy in the entire Xia Country. I have come here mainly to inform you of something!”
The white-bearded old man glanced around and found another white-haired man standing opposite him beside Lin Sen.
With a casual breath from him, Han Tianlin was blown thousands of meters into the air.
…
“Ha, there are so many mosquitoes.”
The white-haired old man who called himself the Principal of Tai Yi Academy shook his beard and continued,
“Alright, my dear Lin Sen, as the principal of Tai Yi Academy, I acknowledge your talent, strength, and your actions just now!”Tai Yi
“Therefore, I officially extend an invitation to you to study at Tai Yi Academy with exemption from the examination. You will also be given a spot under the Immortal Talents Assistance Training Program to provide you with resources to grow to the Black-gold grade for free!”
The voice was so loud that it almost enveloped the entire Canaan Safe Zone.
Everyone was shocked and confused.
“Is the Immortal Talents Assistance Training Program similar to the 100,000 to Thousand Talents Program from decades ago?
“Gasp… resources to grow to the Black-gold grade are provided for free! Isn’t this too generous? He’s almost guaranteed to become a peerless expert!”
“Tsk, it’s just the Black-gold grade and you’re already startled. He’ll be nurtured till the Black-gold gradefor free. Their expectations for Lin Sen are at least Epic grade!”
“What are you guys talking about? Black-gold and Epic grade? Isn’t there only the Gold grade?”
“Ignorant!”
The men in the crowd who had traveled to other realms smiled disdainfully, as if they were the ones who had obtained the spot in the Immortal Talents Assistance Training Program.
“Gold grade is only the first step to becoming an expert. After that, there are still the Black-gold, Legendary, Epic, and Sanctuary grades!
“It’s said that above the Sanctuary grade is the realm where you get a glimpse into the origin of divine power.
“But there’s too little information. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“Ah, how terrifying!”
“Doesn’t that mean that in the eyes of the principal of that academy, Lin Sen is a genius who will definitely move three grades beyond the Gold grade?”
“Otherwise, why would he be called an Immortal Talent?”
“Frightening.”
The people in the Canaan Safe Zone were trembling in fear. There were ferocious beasts everywhere in the outside world, and in the starry sky, there were foreign dragons, angels, demons, and intelligent creatures from other worlds living high in space, making it impossible for the satellites to be deployed.
As a result, the various safe zones could only rely on some supernatural means for urgent communication.
Ordinary citizens could only visit some local networks.
Fresh “news” could only be “imported” from the outside world from time to time.
Obviously.
This was the first time many people had heard of grades beyond the Gold grade.
“Then…”
Lin Sen looked a little hesitant, but he still verbalized the worry in his heart.
“I just killed a combat professional. Can I really enter the academy to further my studies while carrying such a charge?”
Combat professionals were the only way to fight against foreign races.
Killing a combat professional was almost equivalent to betraying the army in ancient times and killing a team leader.
“No, no, no.”
The white-bearded old man only chuckled and lectured as if he was looking at a young man.
“When I came here, I found out the whole story.
“The man you killed was killed because he kidnapped your family.
“In our era, this is a very righteous act that must be publicized.”
The white-bearded old man seemed to have noticed Lin Sen’s confusion and seemed to be “whitewashing” Lin Sen’s name in advance. He said leisurely, “After we humans faced a calamity, what do you think we relied on to recover lost ground and kill the enemies little by little until they trembled in fear?
“You’d definitely say it’s the birth of professionals.
“But there’s another important factor. Our love and desire for our family and home.
“Back then, many of our companions’ families were killed by the enemies. That hatred and the will to protect the remaining families drove us to kill the enemies without caring about our own safety until the long night left.
“If you were a coward whose family was threatened and yet still remained timid and hesitant in your actions, I wouldn’t have come here personally.
“You used your actions to show the world the will in your heart–you will use your life, everything, to protect the safety of your family.
“That’s why I admire you.
“I look forward to seeing you continue to grow until the day you treat the entire human race as your family.”
Lin Sen suddenly teared up.
This person said it so well that he was almost touched by himself.
He believed that everyone who heard this would develop some recognition for him.
Even if they didn’t agree inwardly, they couldn’t say it out loud. Otherwise, comments such as “you don’t have a heart”, “you’re not human”, and “ingrate” would be made about them.
Since he had semi-whitewashed his name, Lin Sen would agree to his request even if it wasn’t on the account of his strength after seeing him blow Han Tianlin away with one breath.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Sen revealed a sincere smile.
“I’m willing to accept your invitation to become a student of Tai Yi Academy!”
“Nice!”
The old man’s smile widened.
“Qingya!
“I’m here, Principal!”
An ethereal woman in green slowly walked over from a cloud.
“I’ll leave Lin Sen in your care. He’ll enjoy the same treatment as Wan’er for the time being. I’ll make adjustments when he arrives at the academy!”
After saying that, the white-bearded old man disappeared.
Looking at Senior Sister Qing Ya and Gu Wan’er, Lin Sen finally revealed a relaxed smile.
…
“An unexpected gain.”
After the old man disappeared, a blindfolded man with a katana on his waist leisurely appeared in a corner that no one noticed. He looked at Lin Sen and the two others from afar and smiled faintly.
“A merfolk with the royal blood… and another tyrant.”
