Irrefutable!
Hearing Lin Li’s words, not a single person from either side replied; even the arrogant Xiao Wu had only recently lost to Lin Li.
Lin Li maintained his Martial Soul for eighteen heartbeats before withdrawing it, smiling once more as he said:
“Alright, work hard on your cultivation, children.
It’s not that you’re forbidden from fighting or playing house as the ‘boss,’ it’s just that you should improve your cultivation while you’re at it…
By the way, if anyone breaks the rules, I will step in.”
Lin Li patted the shoulders of the people on both sides again; his goal was accomplished.
From the moment he entered the cafeteria, he had noticed Director Su sitting in the corner.
Since the director hadn’t contradicted him, it meant he was supportive.
The essence of both his method of setting rules and Xiao Wu’s method of beating people up was violence, yet they were different.
Pure violence loses its deterrent power as time passes,
But rules, over time, form something called ‘habit’ in people’s hearts.
When these people want to resist, they will find that no one supports them in breaking the rules because everyone has grown accustomed to living this way.
Although Wang Sheng didn’t understand why Lin Li was doing this, he knew he wouldn’t be bullied for a while.
They had three people with Innate Full Soul Power on their side.
As long as the work-study students didn’t hold them back, they certainly wouldn’t be bullied—they might even become the group doing the bullying.
Thinking of this, Wang Sheng couldn’t wait to cultivate hard and then release the resentment accumulated in his heart.
As for the noble children, they didn’t want to lose their status as superiors, and their inner pride wouldn’t allow them to be surpassed by ‘mud-legs’ like Wang Sheng.
Most of them resolved to cultivate as soon as they returned.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
Director Su walked out clapping, his face full of gratification.
He greatly appreciated Lin Li’s approach.
On one hand, it maintained appropriate competition, and on the other, it didn’t favor any group.
This meant the school wouldn’t have to face pressure from the noble students’ parents, and it might even improve the students’ cultivation and the school’s reputation.
Lin Li bowed to Director Su.
He was someone who repaid kindness and held great respect for this teacher, the first to help him on his cultivation path. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Although Director Su wouldn’t become his master due to limitations in strength and vision, it didn’t stop Lin Li from remembering the mark he left on his life.
Lifting his head, Lin Li saw another person appear behind Director Su.
From that sexy crew cut, he could tell it was Master Yu Xiaogang.
“A very clever child.
Do you have Innate Full Soul Power?
What is your Martial Soul?”
Yu Xiaogang was clearly curious about the Martial Soul Lin Li had just released and asked directly.
Lin Li naturally didn’t want to answer; how could information about one’s Martial Soul be given away so easily?
And he didn’t need to be troubled, because someone broke the tension.
“Teacher!”
Tang San, who had been lost in thought behind the crowd, snapped back to reality and ran to Yu Xiaogang to bow.
With Tang San, a possessor of Twin Martial Souls, right there, Yu Xiaogang surely wouldn’t focus on him anymore, right?
Lin Li thought so, but he was clearly mistaken.
Yu Xiaogang only returned a smile to Tang San before continuing to face Lin Li with that zombie-like expression, awaiting his answer.
Director Su, seeing that Lin Li didn’t want to answer, stepped between them and said, “Master, how can Martial Soul information be revealed so casually?”
“This…”
Yu Xiaogang wanted to find an excuse, but his face maintained a calm, superior facade.
After a moment of failing to find a justification, Yu Xiaogang felt his status as a Master had been slighted, so he flicked his sleeves and left.
Before leaving, he said to Tang San, “Little San, come to my place after dinner.
As your teacher, I will personally plan the acquisition of your Soul Rings.”
Lin Li watched Yu Xiaogang’s departing back, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Was he implying that as a Master, he could plan suitable Soul Rings to attract my attention?
Though it sounded a bit narcissistic, Lin Li wasn’t guessing without reason.
This Yu Xiaogang was an arrogant man, but since his own strength was insufficient, he was obsessed with cultivating someone who could prove his theories.
In the end, he even shouted: ‘I have cultivated a god!’
Perhaps his usefulness was only second to that of the Datura Snake.
Lin Li naturally wouldn’t be drawn in by the Master’s superior act to seek him out as a master to plan his cultivation direction.
He glanced at Xiao Wu and saw that she wasn’t looking at Yu Xiaogang at all, completely ignoring him.
Lin Li suddenly realized that he was still paying too much attention to Yu Xiaogang, which was truly unnecessary.
In a World where one can cultivate, state of mind is very important.
He was actually focusing on a loser who couldn’t even break past Rank 30; it was a bit like putting the cart before the horse.
To put it bluntly, as a genius with Twin Martial Souls who possessed information on the entire continent, Lin Li shouldn’t have any emotions toward Yu Xiaogang.
Whether it was love, hate, or resentment, none were as good as simply ignoring him.
After clarifying this point, Lin Li began to counsel himself mentally: in the future, as long as these characters from the Douluo Continent didn’t actively jump in front of him to cause trouble, he would ignore them.
“Alright, I should be going too.”
Director Su spoke up then, smiling as he bid Lin Li farewell and walked out.
He was going to tell the principal about what Lin Li had done.
Lin Li had resolved the conflict between the students and promoted healthy competition; the school had to provide some reward.
It was said that Lin Li often told stories to earn money, likely due to poverty at home.
He would apply for some gold coins to reward Lin Li.
After Director Su left, the others sat down in small groups to eat.
Since Lin Li didn’t feel hungry, he chose to return to the dormitory to cultivate.
Since he had talent, he couldn’t waste it—especially not like Feng Xiaotian did.
Furthermore, he didn’t need to forge iron and make Hidden Weapons like Tang San, nor did he need to learn Soul Beast knowledge from Yu Xiaogang.
Lin Li set a small goal for himself: by graduation, his strength must reach at least Rank 35.
“Is that set too low?”
Lin Li wasn’t sure what the cultivation speed for each rank should be, so he just set a simple one first.
Actually, even if he cultivated to a very high level, it wouldn’t matter, because the highest-age Soul Beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest were only a thousand years old, and of poor quality at that.
Lin Li thought that if he wanted a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring, he would have to go to the Star Dou Great Forest or the Sunset Forest.
Those places were very dangerous, so Lin Li thought he needed to find someone to look after him.
It’s always better to be cautious.
Thinking this, Lin Li had already returned to the dormitory and begun his cultivation.
