Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 1067 Principal Zhuge Yuan of Sanyi

Lu Lin wanted to refute, but she couldn't refute anything.

After all, it was this person in front of him who used a cane that appeared out of nowhere to poke and hit him. As he hit him, the barrier that had been trapping him for a year or two was broken.

"Have more confidence in yourself, young man. If I were young, and I stayed at a certain level for two days, I would check if the technique was wrong; if I stayed for five days, I would think about revising the technique."

In fact, He Songling didn't think he had done anything, because Lu Lin's cultivation was already stuck at the critical point of breaking through the peak of the second level. He was just one step away from the goal, and the obstacle in front of him was thinner than paper. However, he just couldn't find the door to enter.

Even Lu Jin and Zhuge Yuan couldn't explain these matters of cultivation clearly, but in the hands of He Songling, this immortal, they were as if they were nothing.

In other words, Lu Lin already possessed the strength to break through to the peak of the second level; he had merely given her a push.

It's nothing serious.

What he was about to do next was what really counted as a matter of importance.

He Songling remained nonchalant, but Lu Lin took it as mere posturing. Although He Songling spoke the absolute truth—that he had been pondering how to modify the Reverse Life Triple Technique as soon as he first mastered it—in Lu Lin's mind, the Reverse Life Technique was a celestial art, far more difficult than He Songling made it out to be.

If he doesn't break through to the next realm in five days, he'll start thinking about how to change his cultivation method. You try changing one and let me see. Do you think I'm He Songling?

However, Lu Lin was helpless. The situation was beyond his control. He was not fighting He Songling on his own, but was being forced to fight by He Songling's invisible power. He couldn't even change the timing and direction of He Songling's attacks.

Even though the force from He Songling's hand wasn't very strong, almost exactly the same as his own, it was as if He Songling was using an AI algorithm, taking into account every struggle and change in his hand, and then using his movements to bring him back to the trajectory he wanted.

This behavior was absolutely divine; Lu Lin had never seen anything like it in her life, not even when she was sparring with Lu Jin. Only their principal, Zhuge Yuan, had ever displayed such skill, and even then, it was rare.

"Could this person be a sorcerer?" Actually, Lu Lin was too lazy to think about it anymore. It wouldn't be strange if such a powerful person cultivated another esoteric art.

If you didn't have some skills, would you dare to come and cause trouble at Trinity University?

Do they really think Trinity University is some kind of mountain? A few small fry from the Quanxing faction dare to attack it just because they want to. In the original story, the Quanxing faction actually killed someone, took the secret, and ran away.

This is a well-worn topic, and this is the shortcoming of the Old Celestial Master who only cultivates the body and mind. Without so many fancy tricks, he may be invincible one-on-one, and he is not afraid of one-on-many opponents, but when the enemy wants to target your relatives and friends on a relatively large scale, you cannot defend yourself.

This is why Zhang Jingqing once warned Zhang Zhiwei to treat himself like a saint and others like ordinary people, and to respect others. Zhang Zhiwei didn't fully understand this principle until he was 115 years old, and only realized it after repeatedly reflecting on the loss of his junior brother.

The inability to protect a large number of his own people led to Tian Jinzhong's death; the importance of treating others with true sincerity was demonstrated during a casual conversation with Zhang Chulan, when they discussed Zhang Jingqing's conversation with them and the reason why Zhang Huaiyi became sworn brothers with Wugensheng.

In short, every gain comes with a loss, and there's really nothing that can be done about it. Zhang Zhiwei didn't have any cheat codes; if he had been distracted by cultivating things like teleportation, his cultivation level might not have reached such a high level. And now that he's on the final step before becoming an immortal, he doesn't care about those fancy tricks anymore.

However, Lu Lin was lucky; there was someone with extraordinary abilities right in front of him, who was currently giving him pointers.

"Come on, let's go again. Xiao Lu, you're over thirty now. You can't let people call you a pretty face again next time we fight, can you? You're getting old, you need to show some skills."

Lu Lin felt that He Songling was like a buzzing fly, constantly flying around him. Unfortunately, this fly possessed the power of Ultraman, making it impossible for Lu Lin to stop him; he could only continue listening to his buzzing.

Lu Lin wasn't stupid. Judging from what had just happened, this person clearly intended to help her break through. But now that she had already broken through to the peak of the second level, he still wasn't stopping. Could it be...?
"Come on, again, you idiot, you're wrong, it's here." About an hour and a half later, Lu Lin felt the Qi in her body stirring again.

"Could this be..." He didn't even dare to think about strangling Lu Lin to death. Just two hours ago, he couldn't find a way to break through to the peak of the second level, but now it's possible that he could break through two levels in a row.
"Useless, truly useless." Lu Lin was overjoyed, as if she had won the lottery, while He Songling wanted to curse again.

His original plan was to help Lu Lin break through to the peak of the second level in fifteen minutes, and then take about an hour to bring Lu Lin directly to the peak of the second level. But he didn't expect that this clueless kid would take him an entire class period just for the first step of the breakthrough.

He Songling was so anxious at the time that he wished he could personally remove the obstacle in front of Lu Lin. If it weren't for the consideration of forcing growth, if he had really helped him remove the obstacle, this kid might never amount to anything in his life, and might not even be able to reach the third level. His life would be ruined. He Songling would never have waited for him for so long.

Now it's even better. With two full class periods plus a break, it's almost a hundred minutes. He Songling estimates that Lu Lin will only be able to break through by then.

The time it took Lu Lin to break through didn't make much difference; the key was that it would disrupt He Songling's calculations.

Because Zhuge Yuan has already arrived.

First, a commotion gradually arose from the back of the crowd. Many people turned around impatiently to look, then became agitated and quiet, and the process repeated itself, as if something terrifying was pressing in from afar, and a straight road parted in the middle.

Ding Shian and Na Ruhu looked outside and saw an old man with a square face walking slowly towards them. He had some anger on his face, but he also gave the students a relatively kind smile. Behind him were several other old men, and people who looked to be in their fifties or sixties, but were also both old and young.

"headmaster!"

"The principal is here!"

"The principal is back!"

At first, there were only a few scattered shouts, but then they came together in unison, with hundreds of people present shouting in unison.

The visitor was none other than He Songling's target: Zhuge Yuan, the only president of Trinity University in decades and the chief elder of the council of elders, who had finally returned to his loyal Trinity University.
