Chapter 561: Chapter 238: Intelligent Mechanization Transformation! Steamrolling the Sigma Ruins
Zhu Mingyi turned his head, looked at Jia Ying emerging from the hole in the wall, and asked.
"How was it? What level did that last punch reach?"
Jia Ying gave Lin Ye a deep look, a complex flicker of emotion crossing his face for the first time. He fell silent for a moment before his expression returned to its usual placid calm.
He spoke slowly, reporting to Zhu Mingyi, "Reporting to the Director-General, Student Lin Ye’s punch just now..."
"Was enough to instantly kill someone at Divine Will Perfection."
"An ordinary Celestial Human Realm expert would definitely be injured if they weren’t fully prepared."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingyi sucked in a sharp breath.
Of course, Jia Ying was no ordinary Celestial Human Realm expert.
How could the person assigned as his personal bodyguard not be the best of the best?
For Jia Ying to give such a shocking assessment was enough to show just how ridiculously strong Lin Ye’s combat power had become.
However, neither Zhu Mingyi nor Jia Ying knew that the punch Lin Ye had just thrown wasn’t even his limit.
If Lin Ye were to activate [Frenzy] and double his power, which had already been sextupled...
This training building of the Great Xia Ministry of Education might have really collapsed on the spot today!
"Did you hear that, kid?"
"You can now pose a real threat to those in the Celestial Human Realm."
Zhu Mingyi’s voice carried an excitement he himself hadn’t even noticed.
"You’re truly the most outrageous prodigy I’ve ever seen in my life..."
"Leaping across two major realms... That’s two entire major realms!"
As soon as Zhu Mingyi finished speaking, Jia Ying’s figure flickered slightly. Like melting ink, he silently merged back into the shadow at Zhu Mingyi’s feet, as if he had never been there.
Zhu Mingyi let out a long breath, his gaze landing on Lin Ye as if he were looking at a peerless treasure.
"Lin Ye, I have some inside information for you. Longyin’s entrance exam will officially begin within the month."
"When the time comes, I’ll have someone send you a notice. I hope that before you take Longyin’s test, you won’t accept an offer from any other academy."
"Even if it’s also a top-tier one."
Lin Ye nodded.
Zhu Mingyi continued, "Also, regarding that Pangu Opening Heaven Map Observation Skill, with your current Spiritual Power, it will be extremely difficult to even get started. However, I hope you’ll put studying and observing it on your agenda as soon as possible."
"Observing that supreme deity from the legends who split the heavens and earth will be of immense benefit to you in further improving your mastery of the Chaos Combat Body."
"When you do, not only will you be able to unleash even greater power, but your consumption will also decrease."
"One more thing, you should also start considering your breakthrough to the Divine Realm."
"I was originally going to find someone to assist you with the breakthrough myself, but I looked up your file and saw that you’ve already joined the Firewood Martial Hall. You can go ask your master; he should be able to give you more professional and detailed guidance."
"Thank you for the advice, Director-General."
Lin Ye thanked him sincerely once more.
Zhu Mingyi waved his hand dismissively. He glanced at the devastated training room with a wry smile, then turned and left.
...
Lin Ye didn’t linger at the Ministry of Education for long either.
On the afternoon he ended his seclusion, he directly activated [Castling]. His figure vanished from the apartment in an instant, and in the next second, he appeared somewhere in Dongjiang City.
He first made a trip back to school.
As soon as he arrived at the school gate, he was somewhat stunned by the sight before him.
All of Dongjiang First Middle School, from the main gate to the academic buildings, was draped in celebratory red banners.
"Warmest congratulations to our student Lin Ye for becoming the national champion of the martial arts college entrance exam!"
"One man, one school, the champion’s glory! Student Lin Ye, the eternal pride of First Middle School!"
"Follow Lin Ye’s great example! Cultivate diligently for Great Xia!"
Lin Ye even saw a stone statue of himself standing stiffly in the most conspicuous spot at the school’s main entrance.
Principal Wang Zhengguo had gotten the news immediately and came out to greet him, beaming. The moment he saw Lin Ye, the wrinkles on his face seemed to smooth out.
He pointed at the stone statue and patted his chest, promising, "Ah, Lin Ye, don’t look down on it. The school’s funds are tight right now, so we could only manage a stone one for the time being. Once the school starts bringing in more revenue, I’ll immediately replace it with a bronze one! No, a gold-plated bronze one!"
Lin Ye’s mouth twitched. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
That evening, Wang Zhengguo, Chen Meng, and even Sun Changkong, the Director of the Dongjiang City Education Bureau, personally treated Lin Ye to a meal at the best hotel in Dongjiang.
During the dinner, Wang Zhengguo’s face was flushed with excitement, and his hand trembled slightly as he held his glass. He told Lin Ye that the transfer order from above had come down—he was getting promoted.
Chen Meng would take over as the acting principal of First Middle School.
Before long, the "acting" part of his title would likely be dropped.
Although Director Sun Changkong didn’t say it outright, judging by his triumphant expression, even if there was no personnel change for him, the benefits he’d reaped this time were definitely not insignificant.
It really was as the old saying goes: when one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
After the dinner, Lin Ye was dragged by his classmates from Class 7 to a KTV for a graduation party.
In the private room, Li Jun was a blubbering mess, clinging to Lin Ye and refusing to let go, snot and tears everywhere. It made Lin Ye feel a strange sense of melancholy as well.
This was the first time Lin Ye had ever had a drink.
However, with his current constitution, forget beer; even high-proof liquor was no different from water to him. He didn’t feel the slightest bit drunk no matter how much he drank.
The party went on late into the night before everyone dispersed, and Lin Ye returned home.
「The next day.」
He didn’t go anywhere. He spent the entire day with his family, enjoying a rare, slow-paced day.
