Although he was already strong enough, who wouldn't want to become even stronger?
Especially with special bloodlines running through his veins.
Without any hesitation, Lin Chen spent a thousand points to redeem the Uchiha bloodline and Sharingan.
They came as a package.
For example, obtaining his Byakugan had meant redeeming both the Hyuga bloodline and the Byakugan, not just a single eye.
The points were spent, and the fusion began instantly.
The fusion was quick and came with no side effects.
Now, aside from his native body from the Douluo Continent, he had both the Hyuga and Uchiha bloodlines fused within him.
There didn't seem to be much these two bloodlines could fuse into together.
Combining the Uchiha bloodline with the Senju Clan's could grant him the Rinnegan.
Combining the Byakugan with the Kaguya Clan's bloodline should grant him the Tenseigan, right?
But there was no rush. He could redeem all of those little by little in the future.
Now he had the Sharingan too.
Lin Chen immediately mobilized the soul power throughout his body, gathering it in his eyes to activate his Sharingan.
He drew powerful spiritual energy from the Nine-Turn Soul-Guiding Lamp and channeled it into his eyes.
As the spiritual energy continued pouring in, Lin Chen's eyes grew redder and redder.
Soon, with a surge of spiritual energy, two pairs of tomoe appeared in Lin Chen's eyes.
Within his red eyes, the black tomoe rotated slowly, exuding an eerie, sinister allure.
Starting with two tomoe. Not bad.
After obtaining the Sharingan, Lin Chen felt time slow down.
No, everything in his sight had slowed down.
The paths of leaves stirred by the wind outside, the drifting trails of dust in the air, and even the rhythm of Wang Dong's chest rising and falling as she breathed all became clearly visible.
These eyes really are good. They'll make a big difference in an actual fight.
Once they evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Rinnegan, things will get ridiculously fun.
I wonder what my Mangekyō Sharingan will look like.
And I don't have any siblings. I'll probably have to redeem the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan from the System Shop too.
If all else fails, I can just buy a clone and pluck its eyes out. My clones and I are one, after all, so they should be a perfect fit.
I can't wait.
Just then, Wang Dong's eyes snapped open.
Sensing the powerful spiritual energy radiating from Lin Chen and seeing his sinisterly alluring eyes, she immediately looked astonished.
"Lin Chen, your eyes?"
Wang Dong pointed at his eyes, her face filled with shock.
"Oh, a martial soul mutation."
Lin Chen casually deactivated his Sharingan, and his eyes returned to their normal color. "This is my martial soul."
"Isn't your martial soul a blade?"
Wang Dong looked puzzled.
"Can't I have blade eyes? You really make a fuss over nothing."
Lin Chen curled his lip.
"Anyway, has that much time passed already?"
Lin Chen looked out the window.
The sky was already beginning to brighten.
They had actually been sitting there for an entire day and night.
Wang Dong was also surprised that she had managed to settle down and cultivate for so long in one stretch.
Neither of them felt sleepy now. Meditation was the best sleep a soul master could get.
After getting up and washing, they headed toward the academy together.
"By the way, do you know who our teacher is?" Wang Dong asked curiously.
Lin Chen spoke as they walked.
"We've been assigned to Class One. Its teacher is Zhou Yi."
"She's a nasty piece of work."
That was Lin Chen's assessment.
"Huh?"
Wang Dong froze for a moment. "In what way, exactly? Is she bizarre? Completely outrageous? Or ugly and mean?"
"It's hard to explain in a few words. You'll see for yourself in a bit, won't you?"
"Fair enough."
Wang Dong nodded.
Lin Chen and Wang Dong headed to Freshman Class One together.
Just then, they ran into Huo Yuhao and his roommate coming toward them.
Huo Yuhao's roommate was a chubby boy. Lin Chen had no impression of him; he was probably some supporting character.
Who cares?
He was waiting for a good show today.
Every day, aside from cultivating himself, Lin Chen snooped on his other clones, including the system missions they received.
Of course, he didn't look at every mission, only those that interested him.
Like this particular commission: killing Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was no decent person. Killing her would truly give everyone cause to cheer.
And if you want to argue that she's good, then if she's really that good, why would anyone place an order to have her killed?
That was simply how the logic worked.
Lin Chen had also read the script written by that married couple: kill Zhou Yi in spectacular fashion when she expelled a student.
This mission wouldn't be easy, but it wouldn't be all that difficult either.
He knew perfectly well just how absurdly overpowered those people from the Star Rail Escort Agency were.
Especially Silver Wolf. She was practically a goddess of concepts.
If you ask me, that couple is pretty kind. They even gave Zhou Yi a chance. As long as she doesn't expel a student today, she'll get to live.
But is that really possible?
Let's wait and see.
As he thought, the four of them arrived at Class One.
Huo Yuhao and his roommate went in first.
Their entrance caused no stir. Both were unremarkable in appearance, one fat and the other ordinary.
But the moment Wang Dong entered, she drew the attention of the entire classroom.
Every boy and girl in the room turned to look at Wang Dong.
After all, she was so handsome that she practically belonged on an entirely different visual plane from them.
The boys immediately looked at her with envy, jealousy, and resentment, while stars lit up in the girls' eyes.
It was their first time seeing such a handsome person, and she was in their class, too. She was a feast for the eyes, and they might even spend the next few years together.
Girls on the Douluo Continent matured early to begin with. Many of them were already imagining their futures the moment they saw Wang Dong, their wild fantasies spiraling into obsession.
Xiao Xiao was among them.
Xiao Xiao was all about looks. The instant she saw Wang Dong, she couldn't tear her eyes away.
But the reversal came quickly.
Wang Dong's entrance had drawn everyone's gaze, but when Lin Chen stepped in right after her, everyone's breath caught.
They had never seen anyone so handsome.
If Wang Dong was absurdly handsome, then Lin Chen was handsome enough to devastate all humanity.
One glance was enough to plunge the boys into despair. His looks were so hopelessly beyond them that they didn't even dare dream of competing.
As for the girls in the class, every one of them actually stood up, staring at Lin Chen and forgetting to breathe.
And Xiao Xiao, who had only just fallen for Wang Dong, transferred her affections in the blink of an eye. It hadn't even taken her a second to switch heartthrobs.
"Wow, how can a boy this handsome even exist?"
Stars sparkled in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
Her roommate beside her was even worse.
"Xiao Xiao, he's exactly my type! I've finally found my dream guy!"
"Wasn't your dream guy the one who just came in?"
"This one is my dream guy!"
"No, he's mine!"
"He's not yours, he's mine!"
