Chapter 398 Believing in Lin You: Believing Needs No Reason (110)

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Lin You slowly opened his eyes.

After a night's rest, he not only recovered some of the soul power he had consumed the day before, but also reached his peak mental state.

After a quick wash, he returned to the Soul Tool Trial Grounds.

The enormous training ground was still packed to capacity.

However, unlike the noisy, excited, and even hostile atmosphere of yesterday morning, the training ground was unusually quiet today, even oppressive.

An indescribable sense of heaviness filled the air.

Looking around, many students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy on the stands had dark circles under their eyes, pale faces, and eyes filled with undisguised fatigue and...fear.

Clearly, Lin You's demonic performance yesterday left a very deep psychological scar on them.

"Ugh... I dreamt about that guy last night..."

A low voice rose from the crowd, trembling with sobs, "He blew my soul-guided cannonball apart with a single punch, then pointed at me and said, 'You're next...'"

"Me too! I dreamt that he turned into a stream of air that passed through my shield, and then kicked me away..."

"This is terrifying... Is he even human?"

The whispers were filled with fear and unease.

If you close your eyes, you will involuntarily see Lin You's overwhelming figure and the miserable state of those senior students who were easily defeated.

Terrifying nightmares haunted them all night, refusing to leave.

Yesterday's 30-game winning streak weighed heavily on the hearts of all the students of Sun Moon Academy.

Their prized soul tools appeared so fragile and vulnerable in front of that thirteen-year-old boy.

However, today, a faint flame of hope also flickered in their eyes.

Because today, the students of Mingde Hall, who represent the highest combat power of the academy, those true prodigies, the sixth-level soul masters, are finally going to make their move!
They are the pride of the academy, the pillars of the empire's future, wielding more powerful and sophisticated soul tools, and possessing richer combat experience.

Perhaps only they can stop that Shrek monster's winning streak.

That freak has fought thirty battles in a row, he must be exhausted by now, right?

My fellow disciples at Mingde Hall, you will definitely win! At the very least, you will win one match!
On the referee's stand, Xuan Ziwen looked at the calm-looking boy in the center of the arena below, who seemed to be just taking a stroll, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Once upon a time, Xuan Ziwen was also hailed as a genius, but compared to the young man before him, he was like a firefly vying for the moon's brilliance.

That incredible control over the elements, that abnormal physical defense, and that extraordinary soul ring configuration...

Xuan Ziwen asked himself honestly, if he had encountered such an opponent when he was young, his Dao heart would probably have been shattered and he would have made no further progress.

On the high platform, Jing Hongchen slowly rose to her feet.

His sharp gaze swept across the entire room, taking in the glimmer of expectation in the students' eyes.

He cleared his throat, and his booming voice echoed throughout the training ground: "I'm sure everyone has gained some insights from yesterday's exchange and sparring. Victory and defeat are common in war; the important thing is to learn from them, recognize the gaps, and strive to move forward!"

"Lin You from Shrek Academy has demonstrated extremely strong individual strength, showing us another possibility for Soul Masters in individual combat. This has important implications for the future development of our Soul Masters."

After a series of high-sounding words, Jing Hongchen changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Today, students from my Mingde Hall will continue their exchange with Lin You. I hope they can demonstrate the elite style of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and I also hope that Lin You will continue to generously offer his guidance!" Looking at the students below who had rekindled their hope, Jing Hongchen nodded silently in his heart.

The failure of ordinary students has completely shattered the academy's arrogance.

Now, we can only look to the prodigies of Mingdetang.

He didn't expect anyone to be able to beat Lin You in a one-on-one fight. The strength that guy displayed yesterday was too unbelievable, especially his strange elementalization and elemental control, which was simply the nemesis of Soul Masters.

But, a war of attrition!
Mingde Hall has a considerable number of Level 6 Soul Masters, so even if Lin You is strong, his soul power is ultimately limited.

Use a war of attrition to wear him down; you'll always find an opening! If you can't win one match, then wear him down until he's exhausted!
In any case, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy cannot afford to lose face again!
On the other side of the stands, Orange and Coco sat side by side.

Keke nudged Ju Zi with her elbow, lowered her voice, and asked with a hint of excitement, "Sister Ju Zi, how much rare metal did you bet on Lin You yesterday? I saw that the odds changed again, and it seems like more people are betting on him to win."

Clearly, he was an exchange student from Shrek Academy. Although they came from different schools, they had a more direct understanding of Lin You's strength. Especially Orange, who had personally witnessed Lin You's terrifying performance in the Jingyang Mountains.

Ju Zi sat upright, her gaze fixed on Lin You in the room. She parted her red lips slightly and uttered two words: "All of them."

"what?!"

Coco's eyes widened in surprise. "All of them?! You smashed them so hard? What if... what if he loses today?"

Keke herself bet on Lin You to win yesterday, but only dared to wager half of her fortune, after all, the opponent was the powerful Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and there were also experts from Mingde Hall.

If she loses everything, she really doesn't know how she'll cover her tuition and living expenses.

Is it really time for him to sell himself?
Ju Zi smiled faintly, her tone confident: "We know Lin You's strength all too well. Don't worry, he won't lose."

She paused, then turned her head to look at Keke with a teasing smile, "Besides, if Lin You finds out you don't trust him at all, he might come after you later and spank you."

"oops!"

Keke blushed and stuck out her pink tongue. "Okay, okay, I know he's good! I'm going to raise the bet now! Humph, I'm betting everything!"

As she spoke, Keke got up and ran towards the betting area on the sidelines like a happy little rabbit.

Arriving at the bustling betting area, Keke was about to squeeze in when she unexpectedly saw a familiar and beautiful figure.

That was a tall, slender girl with healthy, wheat-colored skin and a neat ponytail. She was Nana, the student from the Soul Guidance Department who was the third to challenge Lin You yesterday and was ultimately defeated by "blowing air into ice".

At this moment, Nana was standing in front of the betting table with a complicated expression. In the end, she took out a small bag of gold soul coins and placed it in the area where she was betting on Lin You to win.

“One hundred gold soul coins, Yalin Yousheng.” Nana’s voice was not loud, but it carried a strange emotion that she herself did not realize.

After being defeated by Lin You in such an unbelievable way yesterday, Nana was filled with resentment and frustration.

But after returning, she watched the replay of the battle repeatedly, becoming more and more alarmed, and realizing how vast the gap was between herself and Lin You.

That exquisite control over the elements, that effortless confidence, and that seemingly casual yet absolutely powerful attack... she lost convincingly.

For some reason, when she passed by this betting table today, she inexplicably stopped and ultimately chose to bet her meager savings on the opponent who had once defeated her.

Perhaps, subconsciously, she also believed that the monstrous boy could not possibly lose.
