Ten Needles of Medicine a Day, Is Talent Unimportant?

The one-month vacation ended.

Lin Jin's life in the First Year of the Eastsea Academy Intermediate Division began.

Moreover, as a direct graduate from the Eastsea Academy Primary Department, and having clearly demonstrated exceptional talent, Lin Jin was assigned directly to Class One of the First Year.

He was not together with Tang Wulin and the others.

However, Lin Jin himself did not care about this in the slightest.

In his original plans, there had never been any thought of joining Shrek or anything of the sort.

All he was thinking about now was having fewer people disturb him, so that he could cultivate with peace of mind.

Therefore, when Class One's head teacher, Ye Yingluo, proposed elections for class monitors and the like, Lin Jin sat alone in an inconspicuous corner of the classroom, closing his eyes to regulate his breath.

Such energy-wasting matters of playing petty politics with a group of people... he would not do.

Yet Ye Yingluo clearly knew some of his background information.

At the same time, he was also one of the four Two-Ring Great Spirit Masters in Class One.

Ye Yingluo obviously would not "let him off".

Seeing that his enthusiasm for participating was not high, she intentionally or unintentionally guided everyone else's attention toward him.

And so, the monitor would ultimately be decided by martial force.

However, during previous interactions, the other students in Class One had already learned of the existence of the other three Two-Ring Great Spirit Masters.

They were Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Wei Xiaofeng.

Lin Jin also had an impression of these three.

Zhang Yangzi's martial soul was the flying-type Dark Phantom Eagle.

Wang Jinxi's martial soul was the Bone Dragon King.

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill existed between the two of them, and their talent was quite good.

He also had an impression of the head teacher, Ye Yingluo.

She was a woman who still held onto lingering obsessions more than two years after her pursuit of Wu Zhangkong was rejected.

After casting a faint glance her way, Lin Jin flatly withdrew his gaze.

That said once more:

he did not resist dueling.

Yet as for wanting to make him shoulder responsibilities and waste energy because of it, he had no interest.

Then, he closed his eyes once again.

Damn, he's acting so cool!

Tch, according to Teacher Ye, Lin Jin is very likely a Two-Ring Great Spirit Master too!

If I were a Two-Ring Great Spirit Master, I'd act even cooler than him!

That's true, but he still shouldn't just ignore the other three like that...

Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Wei Xiaofeng all frowned as they looked at Lin Jin.

Their eyes were filled with battle intent.

Watching this scene, Ye Yingluo felt her teeth itch slightly for a moment.

He was merely a youth not even ten years old.

How could he be so unworldly?

Did he not have a single shred of competitive vanity?

Tap, tap, tap!

Ye Yingluo walked over to Lin Jin's desk in a few strides.

The noisy discussions within the classroom died down accordingly.

"Lin Jin, I know your family background and talent are both very good."

"But since you've come to the academy, you must obey the academy's teaching arrangements."

"Do you understand?"

Ye Yingluo's gaze pressed down hard upon Lin Jin.

Hearing this, Lin Jin's expression remained calm as he asked in return:

"May I ask, Teacher Ye, in what way have I failed to obey the academy or your teaching arrangements?"

Ye Yingluo's expression stalled at those words.

The expressions of the others also became somewhat colorful.

This Lin Jin seemed not only a bit full of himself, but also rather arrogant...

However, what he said seemed right after all.

He simply wasn't interested in these class monitor positions.

It seemed there was nothing wrong with that.

"Teacher Ye, there's no need to waste words with him."

"With such pretentious posturing, I'm afraid his spirit power wasn't cultivated step by step."

"He knows deep down he's no match for us, which is why he puts on an act of not caring at all."

Stepping forward, Zhang Yangzi suddenly spoke up.

Ye Yingluo was startled upon hearing this.

She thought of Lin Jin's background.

He came from the Eastsea Blacksmith Association and was the disciple of President Mu Chen.

His status was extraordinary.

However, she had heard that those fellows in the Blacksmith Association placed their primary energy into blacksmithing.

Although it was very lucrative, each and every one of them usually delayed their spirit power cultivation for the sake of smithing.

Consequently, even those who were naturally gifted

often relied on heavenly treasures to forcefully raise their spirit power.

With unstable foundations, their combat prowess couldn't be considered all that strong.

Doing so was merely to make their spirit power cultivation meet the demands of blacksmithing.

And as Mu Chen's disciple, Lin Jin's talent in blacksmithing was undoubtedly quite outstanding.

In other words, Lin Jin's main energy was probably poured into blacksmithing as well.

Zhang Yangzi might simply hold a dislike for Lin Jin and thus spoken those words, yet based on the actual circumstances, there was indeed a real possibility that Lin Jin's spirit power hadn't been cultivated step by step.

After all, according to Lin Jin's file, he was already a One-Ring Spirit Master when he joined the Eastsea Academy Primary Department for his studies.

And at that time, Lin Jin was merely six years old.

Doesn't this mean Lin Jin possessed Innate Full Soul Power?

Yet, would a genius with Innate Full Soul Power put the cart before the horse and focus their primary energy on blacksmithing?

The more she thought about it, the more Ye Yingluo felt that Lin Jin's spirit power had been fed to him by heavenly treasures.

Heh.

Ten needles of medicine a day, is talent unimportant?

In the end, he would only be left far behind by everyone else and reduced to a mere blacksmith serving others.

At this thought, Ye Yingluo suddenly lost her patience.

Since Lin Jin's interest was low, and his background made him someone she could not afford to offend, then why not just ignore him?

As long as he didn't violate her teaching arrangements or participate in these instructional activities, what harm was there?

"Fine."

"Since classmate Lin Jin is not interested in the class monitor election,"

"then we won't force the issue."

"After all, this is a position to serve everyone, and it doesn't require..."

Ye Yingluo did not finish her sentence, but everyone understood clearly.

This was a clear expression of dissatisfaction toward Lin Jin.

The expressions of the others as they looked at Lin Jin instantly became playful.

To offend the head teacher on the very first day of school, he certainly had a lot of nerve.

Lin Jin, however, remained entirely calm.

After sweeping her gaze across the room, a faint, ambiguous smile appeared on the corners of Ye Yingluo's lips.

She quickly reined it in and looked toward the three Zhang Yangzi.

"Next, the three of you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Yangzi had already raised his hand.

Ye Yingluo did not seem surprised by this; she nodded faintly, signaling that Zhang Yangzi could speak.

Zhang Yangzi said:

"Teacher Ye, for certain reasons, I am withdrawing from the monitor election, and I support Jin Xi."

Zhang Yangzi looked intently at Wang Jinxi with a burning gaze.

Wang Jinxi was stronger than him.

Furthermore, within their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Wang Jinxi was undoubtedly the dominant party.

Yet all along, Wang Jinxi had always given him support from behind.

Even within their two families' relationship, the Wang Family, which possessed a deeper foundation, had never looked down upon him because of it.

How could he not be moved?

"Very well."

Ye Yingluo had already known in advance that a Martial Soul Fusion Skill existed between the two of them, so she did not refuse.

Her gaze shifted to Wei Xiaofeng.

Wei Xiaofeng pressed his lips together.

Then his expression turned resolute.

"Teacher, I want to try."

Ye Yingluo nodded in agreement.

Right now, within Class One, the ones who already knew each other were not limited to just the pair of Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi.

Yet by comparison, they were still very much strangers to one another.

For instance, most of them actually knew nothing about each other's martial souls.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it was just the right time for everyone to get a good understanding of one another.

"Then, the duels will begin in five minutes."
