Chapter 348 Inviting Guests, Beheading

Inside the teaching office.

As soon as Jing Hongchen finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin You, but his expression was unusually calm, as if these generous conditions were nothing more than a matter of course.

Upon seeing this, the short, stout old man's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

This kid is so self-righteous and shameless; he's even more thick-skinned than Xuanzi.

"This proposal is acceptable."

Before the words were even finished, the atmosphere in the office had already frozen to the extreme with the arrival of the three. Wang Shaojie, Keke, and Zimu stood in front of the room like three statues, their faces ashen, the only difference being the cold sweat constantly seeping from their foreheads.

Seeing Jing Hongchen's icy, knife-like gaze, the three of them couldn't help but shiver.

“Master…” Xuan Ziwen spoke in a low voice, his tone filled with guilt and unease. He never expected that these students would do something so outrageous.

"Shut up!"

Jing Hongchen sneered, and the temperature in the laboratory seemed to drop even further. "I never expected that my Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would produce such an arrogant fool!"

His gaze was like a knife cutting into Wang Shaojie and the other two, especially Wang Shaojie, whose gaze seemed to carry endless killing intent.

This is absolutely true. After all, if this guy really did something outrageous, his own grandchildren would probably suffer the same fate. At that point, even if those idiots died ten times over, it wouldn't be enough to compensate them.

A bunch of idiots.

"Master, we just wanted to play a joke on the new junior..." Wang Shaojie tried to explain, but his voice was already trembling uncontrollably.

"joke?"

Jing Hongchen sneered, "Such a 'joke' is enough to send you away from the academy forever! From this day forward, the three of you are expelled from the academy and will never be employed again. Pack your things and get out of the academy immediately."

Keke sobbed softly, tears streaming down her face, "We really were just confused for a moment!"

Zi Mu knelt down, his face filled with despair, while Wang Shaojie, though standing, was trembling, his face turning pale and then red.

Orange, watching all this, was filled with sorrow. She lowered her head and silently took two steps back, trying to make herself less noticeable.

She had just casually told her classmates that a new exchange student had arrived, and she never expected things to escalate like this. But she also blamed herself, knowing Wang Shaojie and his friends' personalities, why didn't she say more to dissuade them?
"I have no connections, I'm not qualified to speak..."

Orange thought bitterly, "My father was forcibly conscripted into the army and died young, my mother died from illness caused by grief, and I was able to enter the academy entirely because of my own talent. In front of these people, I am ultimately just an ordinary person. If I say anything more, I'm afraid I'll end up like this too..."

Because Lin You gave her a good impression, she didn't deliberately make things difficult for him. However, she didn't expect that her unintentional act would save her by accident.

In the midst of the deathly silence, Lin You suddenly spoke.

“Master Jing, I think expelling them directly is too harsh.”

All eyes turned to Lin You, including Old Song, who cast a questioning glance at him.

Jing Hongchen frowned: "What brilliant idea does Lin have?"

Lin You smiled faintly and walked up to Wang Shaojie and the other two: "I am an exchange student after all, and I will be studying for several years. Since this is a Soul Master Academy, let's follow the rules of Soul Masters. I have a small request. If they can fulfill it, this matter will be over."

"What are your requirements?" Jing Hongchen asked, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"It's very simple, each of you make three soul tools for me." Lin You said calmly, "Of course, it won't exceed their respective ability limits, then we'll even things out. How about that? For a soul master, making a soul tool shouldn't be difficult, right?" Hearing this, Wang Shaojie and the other two were stunned at first, then felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and quickly looked up, their eyes shining with hope.

"That's it?" Keke asked softly, unable to believe her ears.

"That's it." Lin You nodded, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

"Lin You is a kind-hearted fellow," Old Song suddenly said with a smile, a sly glint in his eyes, as if he had seen through Lin You's thoughts.

But it was precisely because they saw through him that they felt even more that this kid's usual kindness was all an act. Look, he's quite skilled at eating people.

You scare people half to death, yet you also expect others to be devoted to you to the point of exhaustion. You get to do all the good things, how unfair is that?

Jing Hongchen gave Lin You a deep look, secretly thinking that this kid definitely had no good intentions, but on the surface he showed a relieved expression: "Since Lin is so magnanimous, then this matter is settled. Wang Shaojie, Keke, and Zimu, the three of you should thank Lin for sparing your lives!"

"Thank you, Junior Lin!" Keke and Zimu said in unison, their voices filled with gratitude.

Wang Shaojie forced a smile: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Junior Lin."

But the moment Lin You turned around, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. As an illegitimate son of the royal family, he had been looked down upon since childhood. He had finally managed to enter the academy and gain some status through his talent (background), but he almost lost his future because of an exchange student from outside. How could he swallow this insult?

"Lin, what kind of soul tool do you want to make?" Xuan Ziwen asked curiously. He was wide awake when this topic came up.

Lin You smiled slightly: "Well, I'll keep that a secret for now, but I can give you a hint. This will be an unprecedented soul tool, primarily based on my martial soul's 'elemental attribute'."

"Elements?" Keke and Zimu exchanged a glance, their faces full of doubt.

Xuan Ziwen's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean... that brand new system?"

For the past three days, he has been studying this subject.

Lin You nodded: "That's right. So, to complete these three soul tools, I need to discuss and research them with my three senior classmates."

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene became delicate. Just a moment ago they were fighting to the death and almost got shot, but now they're all acting all friendly. Is it really true that life and death can be decided with a single word?

Unbeknownst to them, Lin You's attitude was enough to determine Jing Hongchen's attitude, Old Song's attitude, and even the fate of these three unfortunate children.

Others might not be able to perceive this, but Lin You had already felt a sense of exhilaration, as if he were in control of the world, deciding life and death with just a few words!
In the past, or even just a year ago, he would have looked up to everyone present. But now, in just one year, he has changed so much, to a degree that is beyond his imagination.

A hint of humiliation flashed in Wang Shaojie's eyes, while Keke and Zimu exchanged glances, their faces bitter and helpless.

He's really been outmaneuvered by his junior!

Is this guy really that important?
“Elemental technology…sounds really impressive,” Keke muttered to herself.

"I'm already incredibly grateful to be able to stay at the academy. I've already behaved myself, please let me go." Zi Mu's thoughts became more expansive.

Orange looked at Lin You curiously, thinking to herself, "What abilities does Lin You, this student of Shrek Academy, have that make Teacher Xuan and the Hall Master value him so much? Wait, Lin You, Lin You sounds so familiar, like I've heard it before?"

Suddenly, Ju Zi's expression became quite interesting. She looked up with a look of sudden realization, staring at Lin You with a shocked expression.

It's him!

Six months ago, he defeated the Sun and Moon Team as the Shrek Academy's reserve captain! He was only twelve years old at the time, yet he caused quite a stir in the academy!
