Time passed, bit by bit.
For Lin Yu, campus life was only a slight improvement over magic high school.
The scenery at Pearl Institute was a bit nicer than at Tianlan Magic High School, that was all.
During this period, pretty much none of the new students could match Lin Yu.
But remembering he was still a registered hunter at Azure Hunter's Lodge, Lin Yu went on quite a few missions with Ling Ling.
Either he was killing demons, or he was on his way to kill demons.
No helping it—he'd warned them before: he only accepted demon-killing missions.
To sharpen his real combat ability.
Unfortunately, none of those demons were worth him using Level Five Fierce Fist.
"Lin Yu, Mo Fan can't handle that Scale Skin Monster."
"The mission's ours now!"
"I've already tracked it—the Scale Skin Demon Mother is in your school's gymnasium right now."
"They're about to hold a concert there. It's dangerous—too many people!"
Just as Lin Yu was pushing Xin Xia around for a stroll, Ling Ling called directly.
She filled him in on the situation.
That's right—Mo Fan had joined Azure Hunter's Lodge too, but unlike Lin Yu, he could only take solo missions.
Ling Ling was Lin Yu's partner now.
Since Mo Fan couldn't handle it alone, he had to transfer the mission to them.
"Oh?"
"Alright, I'll head over right away!"
Lin Yu nodded simply. He was curious to see if that so-called Scale Demon Mother could withstand his Fierce Fist.
"Be careful!"
Even though she knew Lin Yu was extraordinarily strong, Xin Xia couldn't help looking at him with concern as she spoke.
"I know."
After settling Xin Xia, Lin Yu headed toward the concert venue.
Luckily, he was fast enough to rush in before the concert started.
Inside the gymnasium, in an extremely dim corridor.
Lin Yu frowned as he looked at the demons with blood-red pupils.
"So many already parasitized?"
"Kill the mother, and that should finish it, right?"
"Water Guard: Water Shield!"
Lin Yu had no time to deal with these parasitized mages.
So he used Level Four Water Guard to bind them all together.
He'd take care of them later.
"Hiss—what kind of person just controlled so many of my demon soldiers?"
On a completely dark ceiling beam, the Scale Skin Demon Mother sensed the emotions from her demon soldiers.
She let out a hiss.
She couldn't figure out what human mage had done it.
"Found you!"
"White Demon · Wind Track · Spirit Trap!"
But just as she was about to retaliate against the other human mages, a loud shout rang out.
Gale winds—gale winds filled with mental pressure!
Even she suffered considerable mental suppression!
"Damn it!"
Still, she was a Commander Level demon after all, and she forcibly broke free from the mental pressure. Unfortunately for her, that Wind Seed, brimming with terrifying destructive force, wasn't so easy to dodge!
The Wind Seed latched onto her body, and the fearsome wind power began shredding her flesh.
"ROOOAR!"
Blood splattered everywhere!
With the boost from White Demon Gale, Lin Yu's fifth-level Wind Track had reached such a terrifying level.
It easily tore through the flesh of a General-level Demon.
"Just die already!"
"Azure Profound: Fierce Fist: Sky Breaker!"
Killing this already severely wounded Scale Skin Demon Mother didn't even require a second-level Fierce Fist.
The terrifying azure flame fist slammed directly into her, extinguishing her life force.
The Scale Skin Demon Mother didn't even have time to react; after two spells, her life was already gone.
"And here I thought I'd need to use a Level Five Fierce Fist."
"Looks like I overestimated you!"
"Of course, this is also the result of having both Spirit Seeds at top-tier configuration!"
Lin Yu didn't regret spending nearly 70 million on two top-grade Spirit Seeds one bit.
Because his combat power would prove to him that his choice was absolutely correct.
It was the right call.
Of course, it could also be that the Scale Skin Demon Mother had dumped all her points into infection and reproduction, leaving her defenses pathetically weak.
But at least this nuisance was now completely dealt with.
Once the Scale Skin Demon Mother was taken care of, the other Scale Skin Demon Soldiers weren't even worth mentioning.
"As expected, it's still Brother Yu pulling through!"
Walking out of the gymnasium, Lin Yu spotted that guy Mo Fan.
"Too weak—couldn't even block two of my spells."
Lin Yu just shrugged and said directly.
"Uh..."
Mo Fan was momentarily at a loss for words. That thing was a General-level Demon, you know.
Only Lin Yu could treat it so casually!
"Alright, Ling Ling, you handle the negotiations with them."
"You're a Hunter Master. I'm still a bit short."
"Hard to explain."
Lin Yu yawned and then left the place directly.
He'd spent half the day searching for that Scale Skin Demon Mother in the gymnasium—her hiding skills were top-notch.
Now he wanted to sleep.
"Fine!"
Ling Ling shot Lin Yu a glare. Only this guy would boss her around like that.
So infuriating.
Even so, she obediently went to squeeze some compensation out of that Solo Hunter King.
This time, Lin Yu had saved them a lot of trouble!
He deserved compensation.
As for a General-level parasitic Demon causing trouble at Pearl Institute...
It naturally drew a lot of attention.
After all, it was a parasitic Demon—the threat level was enormous.
But when the news broke that Lin Yu had handled it all by himself...
Everyone was stunned.
They were all still students—how could this guy go off and take on a General-level Demon on his own?!
Wasn't that a bit unreasonable?!
Especially for those who remembered Lin Yu's performance at the Freshman Welcome Assembly—it was even more shocking.
In no time, Lin Yu's name spread far and wide across Pearl Institute.
Of course, the most famous thing about him was his "nouveau riche" reputation—who else would spend hundreds of millions worth of Spirit Essences just to upgrade their Primary Magic?
Those in the know, and Lin Yu himself, didn't bother responding to such talk.
Better to spend that time cultivating.
The new semester ended quickly.
Spirit Essence count: 746 Servant-level Spirit Essences, 101 General-level Spirit Essences.
"Finally broke triple digits for General-level Spirit Essences!"
"Hahaha, this calls for celebration!"
Lin Yu looked at the one hundred and one General-level Spirit Essences hanging high in his Spiritual Universe, an irrepressible smile spreading across his face.
That was enough to upgrade his Water Element and Wind Element again.
But since he hadn't yet reached the third tier, Lin Yu decided to wait.
The Spirit Essences weren't going anywhere—they were a joy to behold, so he'd just leave them hanging there. It was fine.
For now, though, Lin Yu had something more important to do.
Over this break, he was going to move out of the school dormitory.
And live off-campus.
