Compensation, The Four Great Teachers Arrive

"Lin Tian, are you okay!"

Outside the examination hall, everyone from the Experimental Class looked at Lin Tian with concern.

They had learned from Jiang Mingyue that Lin Tian had entered the territory of a Tier 3 Demonic Beast. However, a massive explosion had just occurred there, leveling everything within hundreds of meters.

"Of course, I'm fine. I made a huge contribution this time!"

Lin Tian patted his chest proudly. That very pat caused his recently bandaged chest wound to bleed again, the blood instantly soaking through his clothes.

Lin Tian gritted his teeth in pain; it was a penetrating chest wound.

"Lin Tian, what's wrong?"

Seeing his blood-soaked clothes, the students from the Experimental Class rushed forward.

"Took a sword strike. I'll probably have to lie in the medical bay."

Lin Tian's mouth twitched.

"I'll have to trouble you guys to collect my rewards for the college entrance examination ranking. I'm heading off now."

With that, Lin Tian walked back to the camp.

Not long after, many examinees saw Yuanming Martial Saint flying away with Lin Tian.

"Wasn't that Lin Tian just now? And the person taking him away, could that be a Martial Saint?"

The college entrance examination had ended, and they already knew what had happened in the examination hall.

They couldn't believe the reality of the situation: an Extreme Martial Artist and five Martial Saints had appeared in their examination hall.

But the scene of Yuanming Martial Saint taking Lin Tian away seemed to confirm that it was true.

"An Extreme Martial Artist. No wonder the first place in the Experimental Class changed. In this era, who can be an opponent to an Extreme Martial Artist?"

Many examinees were filled with emotion. Although they had never seen an Extreme Martial Artist, they had heard too many legends about them.

Xia Jie, the Pioneer of Martial Dao, was the first Extreme Martial Artist on Earth, an existence unrivaled in his time, and someone who had changed the landscape of Earth.

Only then did the students from the Experimental Class, who were slow to react, learn what had happened during the college entrance examination through their phones.

Soon, the news of Lin Tian being an Extreme Martial Artist shot to the top of the trending searches.

The second trending search was about Lin Tian being protected by five Martial Saints.

As for the matter of the Tarot Society, there was no information online.

All information about the Tarot Society from the livestream had been edited out, and related online information instantly disappeared from public view under the bombardment of news about Lin Tian being an Extreme Martial Artist.

"It's quite unexpected that Lin Tian's identity as an Extreme Martial Artist was exposed like this."

The students from the Experimental Class were somewhat surprised.

"The information about Extreme Martial Artists hasn't disappeared online, which indicates that Dragon Country has tacitly approved its spread."

"It looks like the big figures in the Imperial Court have agreed to reveal Lin Tian's identity as an Extreme Martial Artist."

This was what shocked them the most: the second Extreme Martial Artist on Earth had become a public figure just like that.

A day later, the moment Lin Tian woke up, he heard the report from Fancang Martial Saint.

"It's alright that The Hermit and The Magician escaped. My order to you was to kill The Magician."

Lin Tian said calmly. Fancang Martial Saint had expressed great regret in his report about letting The Hermit and The Magician escape.

But he didn't care at all. With Fancang Martial Saint by his side, what could the Tarot Society do if they came again?

After that, he began to check what had happened while he was unconscious.

The Imperial Court of Dragon Country officially acknowledged Lin Tian's identity as an Extreme Martial Artist and explained that everything that happened during the college entrance examination livestream was to publicize Lin Tian's identity as an Extreme Martial Artist.

"So it was all an act. I knew it, how could enemies possibly come to hunt examinees in such a heavily guarded place as the college entrance examination hall."

"This was all to pave the way for Lin Tian's identity as an Extreme Martial Artist."

"I didn't expect the higher-ups of Dragon Country to choose to publicize Lin Tian's identity as an Extreme Martial Artist in this way, completely changing their usual serious demeanor."

Comments like these instantly appeared online, changing the narrative of Lin Tian's assassination attempt into a plan by the higher-ups of Dragon Country to publicize Lin Tian.

"Don't worry, we've already deleted the relevant videos. Only those who watched the livestream back then know what you look like."

Yuanming Martial Saint said with a smile.

But upon hearing this, Lin Tian complained helplessly.

"Sigh, I missed so many opportunities for public display of power."

Hearing this, Yuanming Martial Saint's mouth twitched. He shouldn't have spoken to Lin Tian.

After reading these messages, Lin Tian calmly put down his phone.

Thanks to the treatment from the top medical bay of the Garrison Army, he could now move normally, and his wounds were gradually healing. He would be fully recovered after a few more days of treatment in the medical bay.

"My compensation, it should all be here, right?"

"This time, I really risked my life, I almost..."

Lin Tian said with lingering fear.

Before him, the Yuanming Martial Saint wore an apologetic expression.

"This was indeed our oversight. We didn't expect a core member of the Tarot Society to arrive."

"There's a special treasure on the tower that trapped us for ten seconds."

"However, I can confirm there is a traitor among the four Martial Saints of the Garrison Army."

The Yuanming Martial Saint's tone turned cold as he shifted the topic.

"In my conversation with them, I mentioned that everyone and every Demonic Beast inside the examination grounds was controlled within the Third Tier, and that your strength was sufficient to handle it."

"I specifically stated that you possessed no life-saving items."

"It was for this reason that you were able to survive under the Magician."

"The current Magician of the Tarot Society prefers to complete tasks within precise timeframes."

Hearing the Yuanming Martial Saint's explanation, Lin Tian nodded slightly.

He knew that the Yuanming Martial Saint couldn't pinpoint the traitor among the four Martial Saints and could only maintain the current situation.

"Let's set these matters aside. Next, we'll discuss the compensation you're most concerned about."

Seeing Lin Tian deep in thought, the Yuanming Martial Saint smiled.

"Then let's hear it. Don't disappoint me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian's face lit up with a smile.

"You rascal, you forget your pain when there are benefits."

The Yuanming Martial Saint chuckled and chided him.

"This compensation is jointly provided by Qing Province and the Four Great Universities. However, due to the Tarot Society's intervention, the Imperial Court is also offering you a portion."

"Tell me, tell me quickly."

Lin Tian was impatient.

"Qing Province's compensation is one hundred million Dragon Country currency and one Qing Mang fighter jet."

"The Qing Mang fighter jet is one of Qing Province's top-tier aircraft, controlled through coordination with the pilot's consciousness."

"Only those who have made extraordinary contributions to Qing Province can possess one, and most of them have cultivation levels at or above the Ninth Level of Martial Dao."

"However, you can only obtain it after reaching the Fourth Layer of Martial Dao. Your cultivation is too low to control it effectively."

"I understand, I understand!"

Lin Tian was somewhat excited. He hadn't expected Qing Province's reward to be so generous.

"You should understand the reasoning behind Qing Province's compensation."

Seeing his reaction, the Yuanming Martial Saint reminded him.

"That's a matter for the future. We'll deal with future matters in the future."

Lin Tian waved his hand, signaling the Yuanming Martial Saint to continue.

"The Imperial Court's compensation is to let you choose one cultivation technique and three martial skills, with no level restrictions. This is also to pave the way for your future."

"Cultivation techniques are very important and may accompany you for a lifetime. For martial skills, consider their current practicality and potential changes as your cultivation improves in the future."

"This compensation from the Imperial Court will be kept open indefinitely."

"If you decide to choose, I can take you to the Imperial Court."

The Yuanming Martial Saint looked at Lin Tian. This was also the intention of the important figures in the Imperial Court.

"Let's discuss this later."

Lin Tian shook his head. He had no plans to go to the Imperial Capital for now.

"What about the compensation from the Four Great Universities?"

Seeing that Lin Tian had no intention of going to the Imperial Court, the Yuanming Martial Saint expressed some disappointment before asking.

"The compensation from the Four Great Universities will be personally explained to you by their teachers. They have already been waiting outside for a long time."

As he spoke, the Yuanming Martial Saint said coldly.

"You may come in."

The words fell, and the sound of the door opening was heard. Two men and two women successively entered the room.

These four individuals were the teachers from the Dragon Country's Four Great Universities who had come to negotiate with Lin Tian.
