The Youngest Student in History

It was utterly ridiculous.

And he had plenty of trashy one-time rewards like this one.

Lin Luo had thought he would never have a use for them and was just waiting for them to be cleared out of his inventory two months later.

Unexpectedly, a twist of fate had given him a chance to use one.

Now he sat on the desk, his little body radiating confidence as he faced Salas's scrutiny without the slightest fear.

I, a God King, never fight low-end battles!

Salas said, "Little one, I don't care whether you can understand me or not. Just show me your Martial Soul."

"If I don't see it, then he's lying."

"Abusing his position, flouting Spirit Hall Academy's rules and causing serious repercussions... Su Tanjie, just wait until-"

Before Salas could finish, a light radiating from the baby caught his attention.

And what he witnessed next made him question everything he had ever known!

Behind the baby, who was only a few months old, a ferocious Azure Wolf with a cyan coat slowly rose upright!

Immediately afterward, a yellow Soul Ring rose from Lin Luo's body and spun leisurely.

Salas stared wide-eyed and stumbled back several steps.

Su Tanjie was struck dumb.

The lie I made up actually fucking came true?!

Smack!

A crisp slap rang out as Su Tanjie struck his own face.

It hurt. He wasn't dreaming.

Heaven-defying.

Salas was so astonished that he stammered, "Th-this! He r-really has a Martial Soul?!"

Although there was only one Soul Ring, whereas Su Tanjie had claimed he had Soul Power above rank twenty, so Su Tanjie had indeed lied about that.

But! Compared to a little baby awakening a Martial Soul, that lie was insignificant.

Shock, confusion, surprise, and awe.

A flood of emotions surged through Salas's heart.

He was instantly filled with remorse. He hurried over to Su Tanjie with an apologetic smile and solemnly clasped his hand in both of his.

"Director Su, I'm sorry. I wrongly accused you. You have the discerning eye to recognize a hidden gem, and you've recruited another monstrous little genius for Spirit Hall Academy's genius class!"

Su Tanjie remained utterly bewildered and expressionless while Salas enthusiastically gripped his arm and shook it up and down.

Who am I? Where am I? There have been so many reversals that my brain's gone numb.

He finally understood why Wang Shicheng had wanted to recruit this baby.

And he had actually misjudged Wang Shicheng.

No wonder the Platinum Bishop had been willing to damage his reputation and pay to get his younger female cousin's grandson into Spirit Hall Advanced Academy.

No wonder even His Holiness the Pope had held this baby.

Everything made sense now...

Because this baby was truly fucking heaven-defying!

A monster! A genius!

And he had actually sneaked around to do a great deed for Spirit Hall!

Su Tanjie came to his senses and said excitedly, "Lord Salas! I have no regrets about giving everything for Spirit Hall!"

"I, Su Tanjie, am willing to devote my entire life to selecting and nurturing talent for Spirit Hall!"

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!

In the blink of an eye, thunderous applause filled Class One. All the students rose to their feet and raised their hands high to applaud Grade Director Su Tanjie.

At the same time, quite a few people looked at Lin Luo with admiration, surprise, and astonishment.

Among them was a six-year-old boy sitting in the back row. His maternal grandmother's younger male cousin had pulled strings to get him into Class One and had told him that Spirit Hall Academy was full of talent.

At first, he hadn't thought much of it, but now he was truly in awe.

He swore he would make this little baby his big brother!

Lin Luo giggled and sat on the desk clapping along with everyone else. His adorable appearance softened the eyes of several female students nearby.

Hu Liena especially wanted to scoop the little guy into her arms and dote on him.

From the first time she had met him yesterday, she had felt that he was no ordinary child and that there was an indescribable bond between them.

So they were actually classmates!

"Hello, classmate. My name is Hu Liena."

Hu Liena turned around and warmly held out her right hand to Lin Luo.

Lin Luo froze.

Huh? I really became a student in this class?

But I haven't even been weaned yet...

Besides, I only came here today to rack up some steps. I just did that to get myself out of a bind.

Even so, Lin Luo reached out his chubby little hand, took one of Hu Liena's fingers, and gave it a shake.

She covered her mouth with a smile. "How cute."

Just then, the homeroom teacher standing at the lectern looked at Salas and Su Tanjie apologetically and bowed.

"I'm sorry, Director! I'm sorry, Lord Salas! It was my oversight. I never even realized that Class One was missing a student."

Salas frowned. "What's your name? You deserve to be punished, you know that? You even managed to overlook such a monstrous little genius. I think you're the one who should resign!"

"I'm sorry!!!"

The homeroom teacher apologized with a miserable look on his face, stopping just short of kneeling. He quickly pulled out a sheet of paper and walked over to Lin Luo.

"Student, please fill out this student information form!"

He held out a pen and the paper.

But Lin Luo didn't take them.

The two stared at each other until Lin Luo let out a very disgruntled "Yiya."

Only then did the homeroom teacher belatedly speak. "Sorry, sorry. I forgot you're only a few months old. You certainly can't write yet!"

Only after getting close did he smell how strongly the baby smelled of milk. He probably hadn't even been weaned...

Su Tanjie hurriedly said, "I-I... I'll do it. I know all his information."

Although he had recruited talent for the academy, the way he had gone about it was hardly honorable. It was best to keep the money he had accepted a complete secret.

But what was the name of that Platinum Bishop's younger female cousin's grandson? Wang Shicheng never told me!

Forget it. I'll make one up and ask Wang Shicheng properly when he gets back. I can't afford to neglect that lord's younger female cousin's grandson.

After the form was filled out, Salas took it and gave it a curious look.

"Name, Yiya. Age, three months... Hahaha, he really is the most unusual student in history!"

Salas grinned from ear to ear.

Lin Luo, however, had a bellyful of complaints. That name was so random.

Still, he hadn't figured out why the grade director had put on this whole act.

Wasn't he effectively helping him forge a student identity?

But Lin Luo couldn't be bothered to think about why.

His mother was Qian Renxue, his great-grandfather was Qian Daoliu, and his grandmother was Bibi Dong. He was also the darling of the six enshrined and seven elders.

If anyone in the vast Spirit Hall dared scheme against him?

Then they must have had enough of living.

Although the way things had developed so far had been somewhat unexpected, it had turned out to suit his expectations.

Now he had a legitimate identity that let him wander around Spirit Hall Academy.

Here, not only could he rack up steps openly, but he could also do it without Qian Renxue and the others seeing him.

Wouldn't the fifth Martial Soul Tag, the sixth, the seventh... all come pouring right into his hands?

"I'm leaving."

Salas had heard that someone was suspected of pulling strings and had come specifically to investigate. Now the truth was out.

The reason for pulling strings was that the student's age "seriously failed to meet the requirements," but the student himself was exceptionally gifted. Salas could easily turn a blind eye in a case like this.

"Farewell, my lord!"

After watching Salas leave, Su Tanjie immediately went over to the homeroom teacher and whispered,

"This little genius has an extraordinary background. Don't be too strict with him. Just make sure he comes to class and shows his face every day."

The homeroom teacher said solemnly, "Yes, Director!"
