Lin Kong had long anticipated that no matter which academy he joined, the fact that " his Soul Power soared from level 21 to level 25 within a month" would become the focus of everyone's questions.
This was unavoidable, so he simply took the initiative to bring it up, striking first.
look?
The results are truly amazing!
" External Soul Bone?" Yu Feng was the first to react, his eyes blank, and he asked with a bewildered expression, "I know about Soul Bone, but what is External Soul Bone? Is it a special kind of Soul Bone? What makes it special?"
These words immediately drew everyone's attention. Everyone looked at him with the same disdainful eyes one might have for a failing student, silently thinking, "Are you sleeping through class? You don't even know External Soul Bone?"
Osler rubbed his forehead and explained helplessly, " External Soul Bone are the most special and rarest type of Soul Bone. The biggest difference between them and ordinary Soul Bone is that External Soul Bone can grow as the Soul Master's strength increases."
"Can... can it grow?" Yu Feng was stunned for a second, then suddenly realized what he meant, and jumped up from his chair excitedly, blurting out, "Holy crap!"
"Ahem!" Yu Tianheng coughed twice, giving him a look that signaled him to mind his manners and not to lose his composure.
Yu Feng then realized that his reaction was too exaggerated, and immediately covered his mouth with his hand. However, his eyes were still fixed on Lin Kong, filled with shock and envy. He couldn't help but look him up and down, trying to find traces of the External Soul Bone.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan glared at him, annoyed. "Don't stare at people like that, it's too offensive."
"Yes, Vice Captain!" Yu Feng immediately straightened his chest and replied respectfully, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards Lin Kong.
The scene suddenly became somewhat eerie. Everyone had different thoughts, but they were all stunned by the news that Lin Kong possessed External Soul Bone and couldn't recover for Jiujiu.
Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, quickly adjusting his mindset, and finally found a way to change the subject. He looked at Lin Kong, his tone filled with confusion. "Brother, why didn't you agree when I invited you to join the Imperial Fighting Team in the rest area of Great Soul Arena that night? But today you suddenly came to the academy to enroll?"
"I found someone to recommend me," Lin Kong said casually.
Yu Tianheng felt that he had already given Lin Kong enough face by inviting him to join the team with his status and sincerity, so he pretended to be displeased and said, "Isn't my influence enough? Besides, brother, you are so strong, and you also have a treasure like External Soul Bone. Even without a recommendation, you can enter the academy directly with your abilities. Why would you need someone to recommend you?"
Dugu Yan, standing to the side, also recalled the previous conversation and looked at Lin Kong with curiosity in her eyes, "You just said that you're in a lot of trouble, which is why you need someone to recommend you? What kind of trouble is it?"
Yu Tianheng immediately followed up, "Yes, who wrote you the letter of recommendation?"
Unfortunately, he walked a step too fast that day and didn't know that Ning Fengzhi had written a letter of recommendation.
Lin Kong glanced at the crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips, and slowly uttered two words: " Uncle Ning."
" Uncle Ning?"
The group was taken aback at first, then they understood, and their shock deepened!
In the entire Heaven Dou Empire, who else could be addressed as " Uncle Ning " by Lin Kong, besides Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
The fact that Ning Fengzhi personally wrote a letter of recommendation for Lin Kong shows that his talent and background are far more astonishing than they imagined.
They truly couldn't have guessed that Lin Kong's excellence wasn't simply genuine; he had clearly used a cunning trick.
When Ning Fengzhi wrote the recommendation letter, he could never have imagined that Lin Kong was an unregistered person with almost no personal information. If he had known this, given his cautious nature, he would have hesitated and deliberated many times, and would never have so readily written that recommendation letter to "let him enroll".
Lin Kong was equally surprised that Ning Fengzhi had figured out the cause and effect so quickly, not just a few days later.
His original plan was to find Poison Douluo Dugu Bo as soon as possible, recite the "incantation" that only he and Dugu Bo knew, and use this to win over Dugu Bo, make him his backer, and solve the problem of his identity.
Yu Tianheng was shorter than Ning Fengzhi, who was much larger.
"What trouble are you in?" Yu Tianheng pressed.
He admitted that he was no match for Ning Fengzhi.
However, he was unwilling to accept this. Subconsciously, he felt that Lin Kong called Ning Fengzhi "uncle" not because of any weight or status, but because of their closeness.
Only "trouble"?
He refused to believe that if there was real trouble requiring Ning Fengzhi's intervention, he couldn't handle it himself.
"I'm not going to say anything more, Teacher Qin Ming will get angry." Lin Kong shook his head with a smile. "I reckon there are a lot of people who will be angry."
Meanwhile, in the Academic Affairs Office of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the atmosphere was heavy.
"You mean, Ning Fengzhi personally recommended someone of unknown origin?" Meng Shenji leaned back in his large chair, his tone leisurely, his brows furrowed, and his face full of solemnity.
As the head of the three academic committees of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had been in charge of the academy for many years and had seen countless geniuses, but he had never encountered such a difficult situation.
Zhi Lin stood to the side and nodded in a deep voice. "That's right. Lin Kong is only willing to reveal basic information such as his name, age, Martial Soul, and Soul Power Level. He remains completely silent about his background, family, and past experiences. He doesn't even want to mention when or how he entered Heaven Dou City. He's a complete illegitimate person."
"What does he want?" Meng Shenji suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, his tone displeased. "Does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect want to interfere in our academy's internal affairs? This isn't a place where he can act recklessly!"
Although he and Ning Fengzhi were not close, they had known each other for many years. He never expected Ning Fengzhi to do such a thing, actually recommending an unknown person to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This was simply creating a problem for the academy.
"Then... should we just reject this person?" Zhi Lin asked tentatively.
"It's not that bad..." Meng Shenji raised his hand to interrupt him, his attitude completely reversed, and his tone became urgent. "First, tell me, what is this person's talent and strength? To have Ning Fengzhi personally write a letter of recommendation, he must be no ordinary person."
Zhi Lin quickly said, "His Martial Soul is a mutated Dark Blue Silver Grass, and his Innate Soul Power is unknown, so we can't accurately determine his talent ceiling. But he's only twelve years old this year, and his Soul Power has already reached level twenty-five. Just looking at his age and Soul Power Level, his talent should be quite good. What's even more amazing is that, according to our understanding, his Soul Power was only level twenty-one a month ago, and he increased by four levels in just one month!"
"What?!" Meng Shenji sat bolt upright in his chair, his eyes wide with shock. Then, as if realizing something, his expression turned strange. " Soul Bone? Ning Fengzhi gave him a Soul Bone? Has he gone mad? It's one thing to have an unknown identity and background, but to give him such a valuable treasure? Isn't this deliberately pushing him into the limelight? It's just asking for trouble!"
The most likely reason for the surge in Soul Power by four levels within a month is the enhancement from Soul Bone.
"So, should we accept this person or not?" Zhi Lin asked again, his tone tinged with hesitation.
"This..." Meng Shenji stroked his chin, caught in a dilemma.
Refusing would offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi's face couldn't be ignored; accepting would leave such an unidentified ticking time bomb in the academy, who knows what trouble it might cause?
" Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi," Meng Shenji couldn't help but complain, "Why did you send an unregistered person here? Sending a spy isn't like this. You should have fabricated a perfect resume to increase persuasiveness, and it should be verifiable without any flaws. After enrolling, occasionally show your abilities, especially in important occasions, to make the academy take notice. Why send an unregistered person as a spy? You're really..."
Halfway through his sentence, Meng Shenji suddenly stopped talking, his eyes becoming wary, as if he had realized something.
Zhi Lin was surprised, not expecting the usually composed Meng Shenji to say such a bold thing, and was even more puzzled as to why he suddenly stopped talking.
He actually wanted to join in the criticism; Ning Fengzhi's actions this time were indeed very unethical.
The next second, Zhi Lin's expression changed abruptly, his eyes turned serious, and he turned to look at the office door.
A series of steady footsteps sounded outside the door, and soon, a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent prince's robes walked in. It was Prince Xue Xing. Although he was a member of the royal family and considered a superior to the academy, he actually had limited control over the academy. As long as the three major education committees were in agreement, they could completely disregard his orders.
Following behind Prince Xue Xing was none other than Xue Beng, who had been scared away by Lin Kong earlier.
After being humiliated by Lin Kong, Xue Beng complained to people all the way. Later, through the two distinctive Soul Ring, one yellow and one white, he learned about Lin Kong's identity as " Black Prison Asura " and confirmed that Lin Kong was indeed going to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Unable to swallow his anger, he went directly to his uncle Prince Xue Xing, hoping to use the power of the royal family to completely expel Lin Kong from the academy.
