Purple Origin Spirit Water! We Must Kill Lin Yu!

"Yeah, good idea."

"Driving? How could that compare to riding a Demon and looking cool!"

Just thinking about it brought an unstoppable grin to Lin Yu's face.

Once he confirmed the Water Element Spirit Seed, he'd shift his focus to finding a Summoned Beast.

At the Azure Hunter's Lodge.

Lin Yu brought the three women straight there.

"How are you bringing more and more people?"

Ling Ling looked at Ye Xin Xia and the other two and asked directly.

A look of speechlessness crossed her face.

What was up with this guy Lin Yu, anyway?

"They just came along to take a look at that Water Element Spirit Seed."

"No big deal."

"Come on, bring out that Water Element Spirit Seed so I can see it."

Lin Yu said to Ling Ling directly.

A hint of excitement gleamed in his eyes.

Seeing Lin Yu so eager, Ling Ling could only nod helplessly.

This partner of hers—she'd chosen him herself.

What else could she do?

"Alright."

"Purple Origin Spirit Water."

"It provides a threefold magic amplification!"

"Highly spirited, with a special effect that grants immunity to most toxins."

Ling Ling said to Lin Yu directly.

The two of them were long used to this routine.

After the introduction, Ling Ling handed the Spirit Seed straight to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu examined it carefully for a moment, then, once satisfied, headed straight for the meditation room.

"That fast?"

Mu Nu Jiao and Ai Tu Tu were both stunned.

Just hearing the description had already blown them away.

So that's how Lin Yu's green flames on the Duel Platform came about, huh?

All thanks to a Top-tier Spirit Seed with triple magic amplification and bonus effects.

Ye Xin Xia, on the other hand, wasn't fazed at all.

After all, she'd already seen Lin Yu successfully absorb the Azure Profound Earth Flame before.

"Hey, little girl, how much did Lin Yu's Spirit Seed cost?"

Ai Tu Tu asked Ling Ling directly.

But Ling Ling just looked Ai Tu Tu up and down, then stayed silent without saying a word.

"Sorry, Ling Ling's usually spoiled."

"If you have any questions, ask me."

Old Man Bao appeared from somewhere at that moment.

Soon, Mu Nu Jiao and Ai Tu Tu learned that Ling Ling was actually a Hunter Master.

More importantly, Lin Yu had bought three Top-tier Spirit Seeds from them.

Each one had sold for no less than 35 million.

"Sister Mu, I was thinking you could use the Mu Family's name to recruit him."

"That way, you'd get first dibs!"

"Too bad—looks like Lin Yu really doesn't lack resources!"

"Good grief, three Spirit Seeds cost him a hundred million!"

"Add in his Beginner Level Five magic, and that's several hundred million in resources!"

"If he joined the Mu Family, your family might not even be able to afford him!"

Ai Tu Tu whispered into Mu Nu Jiao's ear.

"What are you saying!"

Mu Nu Jiao could only look helplessly at Ai Tu Tu—she had never entertained that idea from the start.

Back when that guy Lin Yu was in Hongze, he had dared to snatch the Water Essence Crystal right under the noses of three High-level Mages.

Someone like that wouldn't just casually join any faction.

"All done!"

Just then, Lin Yu walked straight out of the room.

In his hand, clusters of purple water slowly materialized, exuding a faint, mysterious aura.

"Azure Profound! White Demon! Purple Origin!"

"Three top-tier Spirit Seeds, finally finished!"

"Let's go—I'm in a good mood!"

"Today's on me!"

A smile spread across Lin Yu's face.

"Cough, cough, Lin boy, aren't you forgetting something?"

Old Man Bao spoke up directly, looking at Lin Yu.

This kind of premium Spirit Seed was harder to come by than even some ordinary Soul Seeds. (Harder to find, not more valuable—don't misread that.)

Otherwise, Lin Yu wouldn't have wasted time asking them to help search; he'd have just bought them outright.

So they had put in quite a bit of effort.

"Sell them for me, and deduct the cost from the proceeds."

"Send the rest to my card."

Pushing the three girls out of Azure Hunter's Lodge's gate, Lin Yu tossed something back to Old Man Bao without even turning his head.

"Oh? Good lad!"

"Two more Spirit Essences? Dropped by that Scale Demon Mother?"

"Well, that's enough."

Old Man Bao looked at the Soul Storage Vessel in his hand, a grin spreading across his face.

This stuff was a rare commodity—plenty of profit to be made.

Spirit Essence Count: 746 Servant-level Spirit Essences, 163 General-level Spirit Essences.

"Finally, school starts!"

"After tossing two General-level Spirit Essences to Old Man Bao, I've still got 163 left!"

Lin Yu gazed at the over 900 Spirit Essences floating in his Spiritual Universe.

The smile on his face was impossible to suppress!

In a massive venue.

Sat this semester's new students from every department.

And on the podium stood Dean Xiao, someone they were all very familiar with.

But when the topic shifted to entering the Main Campus, Dean Xiao seemed to transform into a different person.

Like a demon.

Facing a demon like Dean Xiao, the students who hadn't broken through to Advanced Mage left dejectedly.

"Brother Lin Yu, I was so lucky!"

"I broke through to Advanced Mage the day before."

Stepping from the Fire Department queue into the Healing Element queue, Lin Yu soon heard Xin Xia's cheerful voice.

"Of course—Xin Xia is always the best."

Lin Yu pinched Xin Xia's little cheek, smiling warmly at her.

"Looks like everyone's been working hard—there are still over a thousand people."

Lin Yu swept his gaze across the crowd and remarked.

Among them were new students, returning students, Advanced Mages who couldn't cast intermediate magic, and Advanced Mages who could cast it fluently.

All of them could enter the Main Campus.

The only thing that caught their attention was the Main Campus assessment.

The first-place winner would get a chance to enter the Three-Step Tower—and that was the Three-Step Tower!

"Too bad—I've still got one shot."

"When I take first place, I'll have Dean Xiao swap the reward for something else."

In Lin Yu's eyes, there was no such thing as second place.

That's just how it is for someone used to being first.

"Heh heh heh, the Pearl Institute Main Campus assessment?"

"I'll make sure you don't succeed!"

"Remember a guy named Mo Fan—he might have taken the Earth Sacred Spring!"

"And that one called Lin Yu—I've been tailing him for days, but he barely lingers outside; no chance to strike!"

"That student Lin Yu likely killed one of our Black-Cloaks in Bo City!"

"Lin Yu and Mo Fan must die!"

"Of course, if we can use that Main Campus assessment to kill off all the new students of Pearl Institute this year..."

"I'll personally commend you for your merits!"

Inside a dilapidated basement, dozens of people in gray robes, upon hearing these words, revealed a wild gleam in their eyes.

Their eyes held a bloodthirsty look.
