Shi Yifeng coughed violently, kneeling on the ground, having just returned from the gates of hell.
At this moment, no amount of hatred, resentment, or glory felt as warm and profound as the gift of life.
He suddenly laughed, a wild, unhinged sound, "Hahaha, hahahahaha~~"
Then, he stumbled outwards, his retreating figure filled with desolation and loneliness.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Has he gone mad? What a shame!"
"What's a shame about it? Haven't you suffered enough from his bullying?"
"This guy turns his back on everyone once he gains power. My friends from the Second High School told me he was a real bully there, openly extorting protection money. If you didn't pay, you'd get beaten."
"He's truly a villain, no wonder he resorted to a sneak attack after losing the match. This person is no good."
"Lin Yu is so much better. He's handsome, has a good temperament, and though a bit cold, he at least doesn't bully people."
At this moment.
Lin Yu dispelled the fusion and looked at the voluptuous and beautiful Secretary Qian standing before him.
He had heard about Secretary Qian before.
Rumor had it that Secretary Qian was a relative of the principal, but what kind of relative remained a subject of much speculation, with no definitive answer.
Because of Secretary Qian's ample and beautiful figure, many boys regarded her as their dream girl. As the saying goes, men's discussions behind closed doors always revolve around women, and the discussions of the boys at the Third High School always revolved around Secretary Qian.
This was the first time Lin Yu was this close to her. Looking at Secretary Qian, he saw her skin as fair as condensed fat, her features as picturesque as a painting, her figure curvaceous, exuding a standard mature woman aura. Truly, there was not a single flaw.
Lin Yu wore a dazed expression. Seeing Lin Yu's expression, Secretary Qian felt incredibly smug.
No matter how capable you are, aren't you still falling for my beauty?
However, the next sentence instantly filled her with shame and anger.
"Secretary Qian, I heard you're already twenty-seven, why aren't you married yet? Shall I introduce someone to you?"
As soon as the words fell, Secretary Qian's expression changed visibly.
"None of your business!"
"I just mentioned it casually, why are you so angry?" Lin Yu feigned innocence, stating he was merely curious and didn't expect such a reaction.
Secretary Qian's chest heaved with anger, but realizing Lin Yu was still just a child barely of age, she decided not to fuss.
After all, he was too young to understand a woman's feelings.
Lin Yu pouted and said, "Secretary Qian, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
His senior brother was still lying at home. He had left without a word and he wondered what his senior brother was doing now.
Had he woken up?
He should have, considering the sun was already high in the sky.
Secretary Qian said, "Don't rush off. Has your talent evolved again?"
Lin Yu nodded, "Yes, it's S-class now."
Secretary Qian inwardly thought, as expected, it had evolved. She said, "Since you're S-class, let's test your rank first and update your talent information. Afterwards, I'll tell you about the benefits for S-class Awakeners."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's heart was filled with excitement. The opportunity from his A-class talent had given him inspiration in the Spiritual Sensing Realm to create elemental clones. Although it was still in the early stages of skill development and not yet perfected, it was a promising skill.
So, what about the opportunity for S-class?
He was very eager.
"Will you take me to test?" Lin Yu asked.
Secretary Qian nodded gently.
"Yes, I can take you. Let's go!"
Familiar with the route, they passed through a large area of buildings, and Lin Yu once again arrived before the divine altar, skillfully placing his hand on it.
A brilliant light erupted, and Lin Yu's consciousness became hazy. He vaguely saw a jade gate that disappeared into the clouds.
The next moment, he was pulled back to reality, hearing Secretary Qian's voice.
"Talent: Clone, Rank: S-class!"
"Alright, it's confirmed your talent rank is S-class. Next, I'll tell you about the special benefits," Secretary Qian said, "S-class Awakeners receive two special benefits: a reward of one hundred thousand star coins and one opportunity to enter the Spirit Mystical Realm."
Of the two rewards, the one hundred thousand star coins were the least useful to Lin Yu. What Lin Yu cared about was the opportunity to enter the Spirit Mystical Realm.
Lin Yu asked curiously, "Is the Spirit Mystical Realm similar to the Spiritual Sensing Realm?"
Secretary Qian nodded, "Yes, but its effect is twice that of the Spiritual Sensing Realm. However, the Spirit Mystical Realm is very small, and only one person can enter at a time. Fortunately, other Awakeners of S-class and above have already used their chances, so you can choose to enter the Spirit Mystical Realm anytime."
"I want to use it now!" Lin Yu declared.
Secretary Qian said, "Don't make such a hasty decision. You just had a fight, you can rest for a day or two first."
Lin Yu nodded. Although he wasn't very tired from the battle, the twists and turns he had experienced had worn him out mentally.
"Alright, where is the Spirit Mystical Realm?"
"It's in the High-level Mystical Realm Building in the back mountain. You can go there directly and ask the teacher on duty for entry authorization."
"I understand," Lin Yu replied.
Just then, a beeping sound came.
Lin Yu saw that someone was calling him. He glanced at it and found it was his senior brother.
He tapped to answer.
"Where have you been, you brat? Your senior brother is hungry, hurry back and cook!"
"Never mind, just tell me where you keep your money, I'll go downstairs and buy something to eat."
The voice from the phone was not loud, but it was perfectly audible to Secretary Qian.
Secretary Qian narrowed her eyes and chuckled, a sound that even Lin Yu could hear.
Lin Yu's face darkened and he said, "Senior Brother, you're the adult, I'm the child. Why are you making me act like the parent?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a long silence from the other end, making Lin Yu's heart skip a beat. He thought, had his senior brother gotten angry?
After a while, a lazy voice suddenly came from the phone, "Your senior brother here is an adult with a child's heart. You better be a good parent, don't let your senior brother starve."
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and gained a deeper understanding of his senior brother's temperament. He quickly said, "Alright, I'll head home and cook for you right away. Please wait a moment."
Then, the call ended.
Lin Yu exhaled a breath of relief and said to Secretary Qian, "Sorry, my senior brother at home is hungry, I have to rush back."
Thinking of his senior brother, he felt an endless stream of complaints.
Yesterday he was an expert, but today he had become unreliable.
Alas, I am truly destined for hard labor, having to support my senior brother. He thought to himself.
After bidding farewell to Secretary Qian, he jogged towards home.
Upon returning home, before he could even push the door open, it swung open on its own.
The next moment, a handsome young man with a slightly weathered face poked his head out. He glanced at Lin Yu's empty hands and said with disappointment, "Where are the groceries you bought?"
Lin Yu gave a wry smile and said, "My place is too small to cook. Let's eat out."
Senior Brother's eyes lit up and he said, "The dishes at that restaurant last night were good~"
"Let's go there then!" Lin Yu replied, speechless.
