"That Thorn Demon was unlucky too!"
"It had already been hit by your Level 5 Magic, plus a Blazing Fist from someone from the Mu Family!"
"It was already injured, yet it actually came looking for us again!"
"Well, now it was killed outright."
Ling Ling stood behind Lin Yu, looking at the two Thorn Demon corpses as she spoke bluntly.
"It was desperate for revenge!"
"Who told me to wipe out its entire nest?"
Lin Yu shook his head as he looked at Ling Ling.
"Perfect. Their Demon Galls are enough for me to complete the mission."
With that, Lin Yu began dissecting the two Thorn Demon corpses.
He removed the most valuable Demon Galls.
Unfortunately, the Thorn Demons had not dropped any Exotic Bones. Otherwise, he could have made more money.
After packing everything up, Lin Yu left Hongze with Ling Ling.
As for the conflict between the Mu Family and the other two families, that had nothing to do with Lin Yu.
Inside Azure Hunter's Lodge.
"Good kid, I originally only planned for you to bring back the Demon Galls of Servant Level Water Demons!"
"Yet you actually killed two Generals."
Old Man Bao looked at Mu Yu before him, surprise in his eyes.
It seemed that what Lin Yu had said at his Hunting Ground before was all true.
He really had killed over a hundred Demons.
"Not bad. You have enough killing intent toward Demons. I like that!"
"As long as it isn't directed at humans."
Old Man Bao sighed as he recalled certain past events.
Some evil mages would not kill Demons, yet did all sorts of inhuman things.
"I'll be leaving first. Contact me if there are any other missions later."
After nodding, Lin Yu hurriedly left.
"So impatient!"
Watching Lin Yu walk away at such speed, Old Man Bao shook his head without saying anything else.
Young people were understandable.
Inside the apartment Lin Yu rented, Xin Xia sat in her wheelchair, lost in thought.
Just then, the sound of the door opening rang out.
Lin Yu appeared before Xin Xia.
His face still wore that sunny smile.
Looking at Lin Yu's face, Xin Xia thought to herself.
"Xin Xia, did you miss me?"
Lin Yu leaned toward Xin Xia with a grin, looking at her cheerfully.
"It has only been one day, Brother Lin Yu!"
Faced with Lin Yu's blunt question, Xin Xia lowered her head, her face reddening.
"Isn't there an old saying? One day apart feels like three autumns."
Lin Yu smiled at Xin Xia.
"Mm."
After hearing that, Xin Xia finally nodded gently.
That made Lin Yu so happy that he rubbed Xin Xia's head a few more times.
Thus, during this period, Lin Yu stayed in the apartment, accompanying Xin Xia as they diligently cultivated.
Azure Hunter's Lodge seemed to know Lin Yu was about to start school, so it did not assign him any missions.
On the day school began, Lin Yu's consciousness entered his Spiritual Universe once more.
Spirit Essence Count: 893 Servant-level Spirit Essences, 53 General-level Spirit Essences.
Lin Yu had used seven General-level Spirit Essences to raise his Water Element Star Particles to Level 5.
Just like the Fire Department and Wind Element!
Lin Yu could now use Level 5 Primary Magic in all Three Elements!
"And now, I can already cast the Fire Department's Intermediate Magic, Blazing Fist, and the Wind Element's Intermediate Magic, Wind Disk!"
"Even the Water Element's Intermediate Magic, Raging Wave, is nearly ready!"
"Among people of my generation, very few can match me!"
Lin Yu spoke as he looked at the four magical elements within his Spiritual Universe.
His eyes shone with excitement!
That was right. During this time, he had used the Water Essence Crystal, and the Water Element had also broken through to the advanced level!
"And more importantly, I can strengthen Intermediate Magic again!"
Lin Yu knew that Pearl Institute held a freshman event every time school started.
Ever since he was young, he had always been first place in school, the child other parents talked about!
After entering Pearl Institute, he would still be first!
There would be no exceptions!
"Strengthen them!"
Within his Spiritual Universe, Lin Yu's consciousness directly guided forty-nine Servant-level Spirit Essences toward the Fire Element Nebula!
In an instant, the forty-nine Star Particles within the Fire Element Nebula erupted, madly devouring those Spirit Essences!
Then, beneath Lin Yu's gaze, the light of the forty-nine Star Particles seemed to grow several times brighter.
"Very good. Once I reach Advanced Level 3 in the Fire Department, I'll be able to automatically cast a Level 4 Blazing Fist!"
"Continue!"
As he spoke, Lin Yu continued guiding forty-nine Spirit Essences toward the Wind Element Nebula.
Just as before, the forty-nine Wind Element Star Particles shone brilliantly.
Immediately afterward, Lin Yu repeated the process, strengthening the Water Element Star Particles to Level 4 as well!
"I still have 746 Servant-level Spirit Essences!"
"I can't possibly use them all!"
A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face. He would never complain about having too many Spirit Essences!
"However..."
At that moment, Lin Yu hesitated and looked at the fifty-three General-level Spirit Essences in his mind!
"Continue!"
"Maximize the Fire Department's advantage!"
Lin Yu's gaze then hardened. Forty-nine General-level Spirit Essences, radiating even more terrifying soul auras, were directly devoured by the Fire Element Star Particles!
At that point, all forty-nine Fire Element Star Particles had reached Level 5. As long as Lin Yu's Fire Department cultivation reached Level 3, he would be able to cast a Level 5 Blazing Fist!
(The original novel, Chapter 1140, explicitly established this.)
"The Nebula Magic Tool cultivates far too slowly!"
"I heard Pearl Institute's Three-Step Tower is the most suitable place for Advanced Mages to cultivate!"
"After school starts, I'll find a way to get in once!"
Lin Yu spoke calmly.
Then he looked at his remaining Spirit Essences.
Spirit Essence Count: 746 Servant-level Spirit Essences, 4 General-level Spirit Essences!
He had consumed a full 147 Servant-level Spirit Essences and 49 General-level Spirit Essences!
Their total value exceeded two billion. Such a price was enough to create a Super-level Mage with a single element!
It was extravagance beyond anything others would dare imagine!
"Xin Xia, school is starting."
"Let's go."
For the first semester, Lin Yu wanted to experience academy dorm life.
So he did not continue renting the apartment.
"Alright, Brother Lin Yu."
Xin Xia stopped cultivating and nodded at Lin Yu.
Inside the male dormitory building of Pearl Institute.
After getting Xin Xia settled, Lin Yu carried his luggage here.
"Hm?"
"Brother Yu, you're in this dorm too?"
Mo Fan looked at Lin Yu curiously.
"Oh, you know each other."
"Brother, which department are you in?"
Zhao Manyan looked at Lin Yu curiously and asked directly.
"The Fire Department."
Lin Yu answered with a smile.
"Oh, the Fire Department."
Zhao Manyan instantly lost interest. He would rather go discuss psychological issues with his senior sisters.
However, later that night, after seeing Mo Fan return from gathering with the Summoning Element—
Mo Fan looked pleadingly at Lin Yu, who was lying on the bed.
"Brother Yu!"
"Leave some resources for us! My Summoned Beast needs a lot of resources!"
Mo Fan spoke directly to Lin Yu.
Clearly, he already knew the content of the freshman event.
"Ahem, brother, it doesn't have to be like this, does it?"
Zhao Manyan coughed a few times, somewhat frightened.
"You don't understand."
Mo Fan replied directly before continuing to look at Lin Yu.
"I've been first place ever since I was young."
Lin Yu looked at Mo Fan with a cheerful grin, and Mo Fan immediately deflated.
Wasn't this completely hopeless?
Zhao Manyan looked at the two of them, full of confusion!
Wasn't that a little too arrogant?
Soon, the Freshman Welcome Day arrived!
Looking at the Green Battle Arena packed with students from every department, excitement filled his eyes!
"Sorry, everyone! Who told you to be in the same year as me!"
"Although I have enough resources, the strong are forged through battle after battle!"
Looking at those freshmen, Lin Yu offered them an apology in his heart.
After Dean Xiao's speech, the Freshman Welcome Assembly officially began!
Before you continue
