The Shock of Heaven-Defying Talent! The Training Location Leaked!

"Haha, look at these guys, still daring to act tough in front of us!"

"Lin Yu, just beat them into submission!"

On the spectator stands of Pearl Institute, the team members all wore smiles on their faces as they watched the figure on the arena.

Truth be told, those people from Imperial Capital Academy had been way too arrogant these past few days.

Now it was finally their turn to let loose!

"A Level Four Blazing Fist!"

"There's no way I could block that!"

Zhao Manyan stared at the figure on stage and said outright. He specialized in defensive magic, but facing a Level Four Blazing Fist? Forget it!

"Strengthening Star Particles requires Spirit Essence..."

"Little Mudfish, you'd better step it up. I'll work hard on killing Demons too!"

Mo Fan looked at the pendant on his chest and thought to himself.

A glimmer of anticipation shone in his eyes. After all, the Spirit Essence synthesized by his Little Mudfish pendant couldn't be sold anyway. Using it for strengthening was only reasonable!

Meanwhile, the teachers and students from other academies around them were also staring wide-eyed at the scene on the arena.

The impact of a Level Four Blazing Fist was simply too overwhelming.

None of them had even processed it yet.

"I know who he is!"

But just then, a startled cry rang out.

"Who?"

In an instant, everyone turned to look at that person.

"Lin Yu—the guy who used a Level Five Fierce Fist during the Main Campus assessment at Pearl Institute!"

"His Innate Talent lets him enhance any magic by two levels!"

"It's already been confirmed by Pearl Institute!"

That person pulled out his phone and read aloud, the screen displaying Lin Yu's information.

"Hiss!"

In that moment, everyone sucked in a sharp breath.

They stared fixedly at Lin Yu on the arena. Did that mean he could use Level Five magic at every tier?

Even at the High Tier—a High Tier Level Five spell?

How could such a terrifying Innate Talent exist?

In an instant, countless people grabbed their phones.

They called the forces backing them, hoping to verify whether this information was correct.

"Innate magic level plus two... My god!"

Lu Zhenghe, who was already badly injured alongside the Ghost Pattern Violent Wolf, heard what they said.

He fainted from sheer rage on the spot.

Lin Yu stood at the very center of the arena, his face completely expressionless.

He knew this was Dean Xiao's doing.

It was meant to build up Lin Yu's reputation. After all, Lin Yu always kept Level Four and Level Five spells in hand. Better to pass it off as his Innate Talent than to let people suspect he had a hoard of Spirit Essences.

Besides, Lin Yu knew that Dean Xiao was a supreme powerhouse with three forbidden curses. Whatever he said carried absolute weight.

"Innate Talent?"

Mu Ningxue's eyes were also fixed on Lin Yu across from her.

She knew she had lost. A single Level Four Blazing Fist had crushed her so thoroughly she couldn't even release a spell.

And she had also heard the others' murmurs.

She now knew that Lin Yu still had a Level Five Fierce Fist held in reserve.

"So? Pretty impressive, huh?"

"Call me 'big brother' and let's hear it."

Lin Yu looked at Mu Ningxue and said directly.

Mu Ningxue shot him a cold glare. Ever since they were kids, he'd always known how to sweet-talk her.

In Mu Ningxue's memory, the only time Lin Yu had never lied to her was when he took her back to his home. That memory was still buried deep in her heart.

And now, Lin Yu was just like before—still stronger than her.

But he still couldn't stop his glib tongue.

The competition between the Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Institute ended just like that.

It concluded with Pearl Institute's overwhelming victory.

But what the Imperial Capital Academy students couldn't accept was their belief that Pearl Institute had simply stumbled upon a freakishly talented student.

Aside from Lin Yu, the other students weren't worth mentioning at all.

So they pinned their hopes on the upcoming training expedition, aiming to surpass everyone except Lin Yu.

"The situation in Bo City back then... it wasn't good, was it?"

Right as the Imperial Capital students were busily preparing to overtake Pearl Institute, their captain had already sought out Lin Yu.

Mu Ningxue was cold by nature, but Bo City was still the place where she grew up.

Looks like she hasn't fully merged with the Ice Crystal Brake Bow yet.

She hasn't become completely emotionless.

Lin Yu thought as he looked at Mu Ningxue before him.

"Yeah."

Faced with Mu Ningxue's question, Lin Yu fell silent, only able to nod helplessly.

He couldn't forget the Bo City disaster, so he always stayed quiet on this topic.

Mu Ningxue's personality meant she couldn't show concern the way others might.

"You're not the same as when you were a kid, are you?"

Lin Yu was the first to speak, looking straight at Mu Ningxue.

"Everyone grows up. Just like you."

Mu Ningxue shook her head, her eyes studying Lin Yu across from her.

"Haha, I guess that's how it is."

"The stars are beautiful. Take a good look."

Lin Yu pointed at the scattered stars in the sky, admiration in his eyes.

Mu Ningxue followed his gaze and looked up.

While the two were still watching the stars, inside the Ancient Palace, at the West Tower Pavilion.

"I am creating absolute, terrifying magic!"

"His frightening Innate Talent, paired with the Demon System, will definitely forge a fearsome monster."

"I need him to cooperate with my experiments."

Lu Nian, dressed in military uniform, looked directly at Qiu Yuhua across from him, a manic gleam in his eyes.

"Oh? Suit yourself."

"If you've got the guts, go say that at Pearl Institute. I'd love to see how you die."

Qiu Yuhua didn't bother to argue. He took a sip of tea and shot Lu Nian a contemptuous glance.

"You!"

Rage flared instantly in Lu Nian's eyes. How dare this bastard look down on him like that!

Did he really think he wouldn't dare?

"Alright, alright!"

"Both of you, cool your heads."

Song He smiled from the side, watching the two of them.

"Just wait! Just wait!"

"Once I turn him into the Demon System, with his Innate Talent, his strength will be heaven-defying!"

"Mankind will thank me, Lu Nian, in the future!"

"I will become an immortal monument!"

Lu Nian thought arrogantly in his heart, picturing the day countless people would look up to him in awe.

His eyes were filled with nothing but madness.

Qiu Yuhua sat nearby, frowning as he listened to the exchange between Song He and Lu Nian.

He was a man appointed by Dean Xiao and knew all too well the expectations Dean Xiao had for Lin Yu once he grew strong.

So when it came to matters involving Lin Yu, even though Qiu Yuhua loathed being around Lu Nian, he had no choice but to sit there obediently.

When he heard Song He reveal the specific location of the training to Lu Nian, dissatisfaction stirred in his heart.

After the gathering ended, Qiu Yuhua immediately called Dean Xiao.

"Mm, I understand."

"Some people really can't hold back anymore."

"Then let's kill a chicken to show the monkeys."
