Lin Jin's first Spirit Forging was complete.

It was still Cloud Titanium.

And it had likewise fused with his pair of Forging Hammers.

After completing this Spirit Forging, he once again fell into a deep sleep.

Mu Chen and Mu Xi stood watch over him.

Mu Chen's feelings were complicated.

Originally,

he had asked Zhen Hua for Ethereal Gold to make up for Lin Jin's poor physique.

But now,

only three years had passed.

Lin Jin had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only had his body grown powerful, but his comprehension was astonishing as well.

His talent on the path of a Spirit Master was in no way inferior to his talent for blacksmithing.

Moreover,

the Spirit Awakening effect was simply too heaven-defying.

He was even reluctant to let Lin Jin replace his Forging Hammers.

Instead, he wanted Lin Jin to continuously improve this pair of Forging Hammers.

To preserve the Spirit Awakening effect forever.

At the same time,

Mu Chen sank into thought as well.

Gradually, he came to a decision.

"A Jin is only nine years old, yet he can already complete Spirit Forging."

"With such talent, he is absolutely unprecedented and will never be surpassed."

"No one could possibly exceed him."

"So, no matter what considerations I have, I should not keep forcing him to remain by my side..."

Thinking this, he glanced at his daughter, who had fallen asleep beside Lin Jin's bed, then walked onto the enclosed balcony.

Watching the torrential rain still raging outside, he called Zhen Hua.

When Lin Jin woke up,

the seven-day holiday had just ended.

The refreshing, utterly comfortable feeling throughout his body made him feel incomparably at ease.

This Spirit Forging was complete.

It was not merely a breakthrough in his forging skills.

His body, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power had also resonated with it, all improving in turn.

Soul Power showed the least change.

At most, it saved him a month of hard cultivation.

His body had changed the most noticeably.

Extracting the Bloodline Power within him to such an extreme had caused tremendous damage to his body.

Yet during these days of deep sleep,

under the pumping of his heart, Bloodline Power flowed throughout his body with a seemingly inexhaustible vitality, constantly renewing itself.

Not only had this restored his injuries, it had even made him stronger.

More importantly,

he had already sensed that the Blood Lotus Secret Technique he had accidentally created before still had room for improvement!

The method was very simple.

He only needed to reverse the Bloodline Power within his body once more.

But for this second reversal, he would not only have to endure the even more powerful impact of his Bloodline Power flowing in reverse.

He would also have to withstand the impact of the Blood Lotus that had already formed inside him erupting.

It was extremely dangerous!

He even had an intuition that if he reversed his Bloodline Power now to strike at the second layer of Blood Lotus,

he would very likely explode and die on the spot!

It was dangerous.

But it also meant that Blood Lotus, which could continuously improve, had an extraordinarily high upper limit.

It could even be said that as long as his body could endure it,

this Blood Lotus had no upper limit!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Jin suppressed the joy in his heart.

After washing up, he returned to Eastsea Academy with Mu Xi.

However, Mu Xi was acting somewhat strangely along the way, speaking much less.

She seemed to be under considerable pressure.

Lin Jin asked her about it, but she did not answer.

Left with no choice, he gave up and did not press her further.

They parted at the school gate, but Lin Jin did not head to the classroom.

Because the first day after the holiday was the main event of the first-year Class Promotion Tournament.

Class Six, led by Wu Zhangkong, had fought its way north and was now facing off against the strongest Class One.

By the time Lin Jin arrived,

the gymnasium was already packed with people.

Naturally, this battle did not involve only Class One and Class Six of the first year.

All first-year students were present.

In addition, many upperclassmen had skipped class to come, as had students whose outdoor classes were currently underway.

There was no other reason.

They had all heard that this year's first-year Class Six was formidable.

So they had come to watch the excitement.

Not only that,

even Long Hengxu, the director of education, Dean Yu Zhen, and other high-ranking academy leaders were present.

The moment Lin Jin entered the Stadium, everyone's eyes fell upon him.

This left him quite surprised.

He even secretly wondered, Could it be that the teachers have revealed that I'm already a Level 5 Blacksmith?

Other than that, he truly could not think of anything that would make everyone look at him like this.

"Brother Jin."

At that moment, Tang Wulin's voice rang out.

Lin Jin froze and looked over.

In the direction of Class Six, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie stood side by side behind the frosty-faced Wu Zhangkong.

The other Class Six students stood behind them.

At that moment, Wu Zhangkong's gaze was filled with icy displeasure as he looked at him.

This left Lin Jin utterly confused.

Did I offend you?

What's with that expression?

Could it be because I lent Tang Wulin money?

Another gaze was just as icy.

It came from Gu Yue.

Since the incident at Eastsea Park, although they were in the same year,

aside from the first day of school, Lin Jin had always disappeared from Eastsea Academy the moment class ended.

As a result, three months had passed without them running into each other even once.

Gu Yue's eyes were cold, but it was not because she had suffered a loss at Lin Jin's hands back at Eastsea Park.

It was because of the pressure Mu Xi had put on her over the past three months.

Although they were all trivial little troubles,

there were simply too many to endure, and they were purely disgusting.

What was even more disgusting was that Mu Xi had never shown up herself. A few vague hints from her were enough for others to come looking for trouble with Gu Yue.

And Gu Yue could not even find fault with it.

"You're so protective of him. Why don't you just tie him to your body!"

Gritting her teeth, Gu Yue desperately wanted to go up and beat Lin Jin up right away in revenge.

Yes.

By now, she naturally knew Lin Jin's real name.

On the viewing platform,

Yu Zhen and Long Hengxu's gazes also rested on Lin Jin.

They were naturally curious about this genius who, on his first day of school, had thoroughly offended Ye Yingluo and nearly crippled Wang Jinxi.

In fact,

they had secretly observed Lin Jin many times.

However, because of Lin Jin's identity, they did not dare make it too obvious.

They had come today to see Lin Jin's strength as well.

Yes.

On the roster Ye Yingluo had submitted for Class One's team facing Class Six's Class Promotion Tournament challenge,

Lin Jin's name was prominently listed.

And

Lin Jin was the captain!

Yet even now, Lin Jin still knew nothing about this.

Yu Zhen, Wu Zhangkong, Tang Wulin, and the others did not know that Lin Jin was unaware of it either.

In fact, aside from everyone in first-year Class One, no one knew.

Everyone was staring at Lin Jin because they had all been waiting for him.

Ye Yingluo had clearly set Lin Jin up.

She had placed Lin Jin in the captain's position, with Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi as his teammates.

On the surface, there was nothing wrong with that.

After all, the three of them were Class Two's strongest.

There was no doubt about that.

However, meaningful smiles appeared on the faces of Ye Yingluo, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi.

Ye Yingluo stepped forward and looked at Lin Jin with a smile, as though she had an excellent relationship with him, like both teacher and friend.

"Since you're here, hurry over."

"As the captain of Class One's representative team, we can discuss your lateness afterward."

"But for now, don't keep Class Six, led by Teacher Wu, waiting any longer."
