Yi Zichen's Sudden Summons; I Knew This Day Would Come

After these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent, staring at Yi Zichen with disbelief.

"Elder Yi, do you mean to use students' blood for human experiments?"

Wang Tianyu's voice was deep, and a destructive current surged through his body.

Yi Zichen's voice was equally low.

"Don't put it so harshly. With the current technology of our Federation, life is not limited to the physical body; it can also exist in another form. The Pavilion Master and I are currently in this state. Moreover, Lin Yuan's sacrifice is for the Federation and for Shrek. Therefore, I can promise that Lin Yuan will be exempt from external missions in his fourth year and will be internally selected as an inner court student."

"And the price of all this is nothing more than..."

Before Yi Zichen could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted.

"Enough, Vice Pavilion Master! Life is not to be trifled with!"

The leader of the Life School, Elder Tree, looked quite grim.

The Life School is inherently sensitive about the relationship between limbs and true life; now that Yi Zichen has stated this so easily, isn't this a blatant slap in the face to the Life School?

"Hehe, it seems there's quite a bit of opposition from you all."

Yi Zichen looked at the emotionally charged Wang Tianyu and Elder Tree, chuckled a few times, then bypassed the crowd, bowed deeply to the Sea God Pavilion Master, and asked:

"Sect Leader, what's your opinion...?"

"No."

"Yes... um?!"

Whether it was Yi Zichen, Wang Tianyu, or the other Tang Sect members who participated in the Sea God Pavilion Meeting, they all looked at the Sea God Pavilion Master with disbelief on their faces.

Yi Zichen and Ling Zichen have spent ten thousand years together, and during that time they have developed a special understanding.

Ling Zichen basically obeyed everything Yi Zichen said.

After all, Ling Zichen's primary goal was not to manage Shrek Academy, but rather the Federation's technological development.

But now, the Sea God Pavilion Master is actually opposing Yi Zichen?

This was something they had never encountered since they entered the Sea God Pavilion.

"Sect Master!"

Yi Zichen couldn't believe it.

"That's enough, do I have to repeat myself?"

At this moment, Ling Zichen looked at Yi Zichen, his eyes beneath the bamboo hat seeming to scan Yi Zichen's entire body, and said calmly:

"I chose to live this way because it's my choice and my obsession, but it's only for myself, do you understand? I know what you want to do, but for the past ten thousand years, we've only been teacher and student. You have a much brighter future. Besides, you can't be unaware of the relationship between Lin Yuan and the person who's holding the concert, can you?"

Yi Zichen kept his head down, not daring to look Ling Zichen in the eye. After a moment, he sighed.

"Yes... Master."

"Alright, from now on, I will focus all my attention on the research of the Ecological Battleship. Before I emerge from seclusion, the Sea God Pavilion Meeting will be chaired by Wang Tianyu, until I break through my seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zichen's expression became unusually uncharacteristically distorted.

The meaning of this couldn't be clearer: Ling Zichen was worried that he would forcefully push through the meeting's decisions and thus sideline him. During this period, Wang Tianyu and he had been at odds for quite some time.

After the Sea God Pavilion Meeting ended.

Yi Zichen stood alone on the shore of Sea God Lake, his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering. His cloudy eyes seemed to hold the sediment of time. On either side of him stood three students in red school uniforms, their heads slightly bowed.

Yi Zichen gazed at the Sea God Lake, which had witnessed most of his life, scenes from the past ten thousand years flashed through his mind.

From the initial misunderstanding of Shrek, to the moment after the Abyssal Plane War, when he leisurely jogged on the playground to catch a glimpse of Tang Wulin's prowess, and finally to the heartbroken sight of Ling Zichen being eternally Ice Seal by the Jinlong Yueyu and the Silver Dragon Wulin.

Ten thousand years!

Ten thousand years!

Teacher, it's been ten thousand years, haven't you forgotten him yet?

Jinlong Yueyu!

He already has a wife, why are you still fixated on him?

Are you really blind to the students' feelings?

Since that child's blood can stabilize the surrounding environment, wouldn't it be possible for you to get rid of the Soul Tool and return to being a normal person? Didn't you say before that if you were a normal person, you could be with the students?

But why are you doing this now?

Could ten thousand years of companionship truly outweigh a mere few fleeting glances from ten thousand years ago?

Undoubtedly, ten thousand years is a very long time, and the heart of a person who can be obsessed with one thing for ten thousand years will unknowingly become morbid. Yi Zichen doesn't even know what he has been persisting in for these ten thousand years.

If that person hadn't been resurrected, he might still be in a one-sided ambiguous relationship with his dearest teacher, occasionally teasing her and seeing how much she cared for him; Yi Zichen would be quite content with that.

But now, that person has been resurrected.

Yi Zichen knew that this might be his last chance. What about transforming into a human cannon again, what about the Longma Galaxy... His only obsession for the past ten thousand years has been you.

Red-level Badge allows you to break any rule once.

Teacher, please allow your disciple to be willful just this once.

Yi Zichen sighed, and her clenched hands loosened slightly.

Yi Zichen spoke calmly to the inner court students following him:

"Find a student from another department to invite Lin Yuan to Sea God Lake, and tell him that a teacher is there to see him."

"Teacher, but Lin Yuan is still undergoing a physical examination..."

"No need for him to have a medical check-up, just let him come."

"Yes..."

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, who was still undergoing a physical examination, was suddenly called out by Ling Yiyi Ling Yiyi, whose expression was quite strange. She said that she had suddenly received a notification.

A teacher wants to meet with him.

"Hmm, but I haven't finished my physical exam yet?"

Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback. On the roadside near the medical examination center, a young man leaning against a car door was smiling and waving at him.

"Hmm, it might be because of your Blood Ascension Phenomenon. You might not know, but you're being closely watched by the Academy's teachers, and the situation is so urgent. This is very likely from an inner court teacher. Congratulations, Child of Stars. Even if you fail the next assessment, you will definitely enter Shrek."

Ling Yiyi smiled sweetly and nodded to Lin Yuan.

"Brother, I have a feeling something's not quite right. You just experienced Blood Ascension Phenomenon and already attracted attention, and you even had a falling out with that vice-pavilion master who suddenly showed up on the spaceship..."

Lan Xuanyu, who was traveling with Lin Yuan, suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan's hand, his heart pounding involuntarily, his sixth sense constantly warning him.

That's bizarre, absolutely bizarre!

"Not simple, of course not simple. I've only recently experienced the Blood Ascension Phenomenon, and I already have a teacher come to see me. I'm truly honored."

Lin Yuan chuckled.

He had this premonition from the very beginning of the Blood Ascension Phenomenon. As someone who could forcibly transform artificial Soul Bone into real Soul Bone, how could he not know the Gravity of his blood to those mad scientists?

First, we can rule out Wang Tianyu, who is known as the "unit of measurement," and then there's Elder Tree. The latter is alright; he hasn't shown any affinity for life, so he definitely wouldn't have the idea of taking on a disciple. As for the former, even if he wanted to take on a disciple, he would wait until after the assessment.

So only Ling Zichen still needs to Yi Zichen.

Ling Zichen can be ruled out first.

After all, there's an even bigger reason why Ling Zichen devotes most of her energy to research and development: she's a hopeless romantic. She's definitely seen the older man's concert and knows about their relationship, so there's absolutely no way she would ever make a move on him.

But Yi Zichen is different!

If Tang Wulin was the only thing that kept Ling Zichen alive for the past ten thousand years, it was technological research and development; she also wanted to create a true human cannon.

What has sustained Yi Zichen for the past ten thousand years is his one-sided love for Ling Zichen!

If love becomes an obsession, that's a truly terrifying thing.

Lin Yuan instantly identified Yi Zichen through a simple process of elimination.

According to the Vice Pavilion Master...

At that moment, Lin Yuan felt his hand shake, and the Little Dragon God was looking at him with a worried expression.

"Brother, shall I go with you?"

"You?" Lin Yuan patted the Little Dragon God's head.

"Forget it, you're such Shorty, you want to help me? You're lucky if you don't drag me down. Your most important thing right now is to pass the physical test, understand?" Lin Yuan flicked Lan Xuanyu's forehead.

"Remember to contact Young Master Le? I heard from Uncle that he's having a concert on Douluo Planet recently... You should remember his number, right?"

"I remember, brother."

Lan Xuanyu nodded rapidly; with his intelligence, he naturally understood Lin Yuan's implied meaning.

"Okay, that's good then."

Lin Yuan suddenly laughed, and then, under Lan Xuanyu's stunned gaze, Lin Yuan placed his hands on his knees and bowed slightly. His eyes, capable of reflecting the depths of everyone's hearts, looked at Lan Xuanyu, and Lin Yuan's tone was gentler than ever before:

"Your brother knows your talent. You must remember to cultivate diligently. If you become interested in forging in the future, remember to visit Uncle. If you feel there's something wrong with your bloodline, go find your Teacher Nana."

If anything were to happen to me, Lin, remember to get Dragon God to bail me out as soon as possible.

"Alright, that's all, I'm leaving."

Lin Yuan had only stood up and walked a short distance when he felt someone tightly tugging at the hem of his clothes.

"Elder brother!"

The Little Dragon God gripped Lin Yuan's clothes tightly.

Shinra Tensei.

A gentle pushing force suddenly erupted from Lin Yuan's body.

After gently flicking the Little Dragon God away.

Guided by the senior student, Lin Yuan arrived at the shuttle bus.

"Please, junior." The young man was very respectful and took the initiative to open the right rear car door for Lin Yuan.

"There's no need for that, senior." Lin Yuan shook his head and got into the passenger seat.

"It seems you're quite polite, junior." The young man was somewhat surprised, but Lin Yuan's behavior truly warmed his heart.
