《I Can Cash Up On My Web Novel》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Lin Bai, we¡¯re done!¡± A graceful and slender back view slammed the door firmly and left. Lin Bai seemed to see a man in a suit outside and reached out to take her suitcase the moment the door was shut. He had finally lost his university sweetheart of four years to the practicality of society. Material satisfaction was indeed easier to make people happy physically and mentally in today¡¯s impulsive and superficial environment. Lin Bai smiled bitterly and sat at the table, his heart as calm as water in the simple rental house. He tried his best to clear his mind of his girlfriend¡¯s voice and appearance. He calmly took out his notepad and ballpoint pen and began to write and scratch on them. Amount of small loans to be repaid this month¡ª Seventh: 1,090.9 yuan Eighth: 548.8 yuan 12th: 198.4 yuan 15th: 347.6 yuan 20th: 500 yuan 24th: 87+121 yuan Credit Card, 30th: 1,700 yuan Rent: 1,500 yuan Projected cost of living: 800 yuan Total: 6,893.7 yuan ¡­ Close to 7,000 yuan! He was not a person who squandered money at will. Putting aside the rent and personal expenses, the rest were loans on gifts he had given to his ex-girlfriend. It was still suffocating even though he was paying with a 12 months¡¯ installment. Lin Bai had no intention of asking her for them. They should not have any more interactions since she had chosen to break up and start a new life. After recording this, Lin Bai let out a long breath, a tired expression crawled onto his handsome and lonely face. He silently looked at the bank balance tied to his phone app and looked at the decimals behind the single-digit. He could not help but feel a little dazed. As a top student who had graduated from a famous literature university and had been in society for so many years, his classmates whose results were not as good as his were already doing well and had their own achievements. He should be the only one who still used a six-figure password to protect a single-digit balance, right? Lin Bai could not help but laugh. To be honest, 7,000 yuan was not a lot. With his professional ability, it was very easy for him to find a job that earned more than 10,000 yuan a month. However, he had a dream of becoming a famous novelist. He voluntarily gave up his bright future and pounced into the online novel industry alone. He thought that he could rely on his professional ability to show off. However, Lin Bai understood that writing novels was not as simple as he had envisioned after going in deeper. Theme, tempo of the writing, refreshing choices, and plot settings were all experiences that could only be accumulated over time. They were not things that could be controlled by a hot-headed person. He might possess some advantage in terms of writing coming from the Literature Department, but he could not write a book that was popular with readers. As a result, this situation lasted for many years. He probably could not even pay the rent, let alone make ends meet. Oh, no¡­ He would definitely not be able to pay the rent. His phone suddenly rang at this moment. Lin Bai picked it up and saw that it was the landlady. Could it be to press him for rent? He took a deep breath and chose to answer, but he did not speak immediately. ¡°Hello, Little Lin? Do you want to come to Auntie¡¯s for dinner tonight?¡± A mature female voice with a hint of sharpness sounded. Lin Bai¡¯s scalp went numb. ¡°No need, Auntie Li. It¡¯s not convenient.¡± ¡°Why is it inconvenient? Your Auntie Li doesn¡¯t have a husband.¡± The woman on the other end of the phone chuckled. ¡°Moreover, you just broke up, right? Don¡¯t be in a hurry to deny it. I saw your girlfriend leave with another man¡­ She must have left you with a lot of burden, right? Tens of thousands yuan? Hundreds of thousands? I¡¯ve seen it all recently. Silly kid, you¡¯re too good to her. You¡¯ll ruin yourself.¡± Auntie Li paused for a moment and softened her voice. ¡°Let¡¯s be honest. I like you a lot. I¡¯ll clear all your debts if you follow me. I can even give you a two-story building with five-bedroom and two halls after a year. You can also choose any car in the garage. How about that?¡± She used a gentle tone to tempt him. ¡°¡­¡± Was he going to be kept as a gigolo? Lin Bai fell silent. Auntie Li was at least 40 years old, at her prime. Women were actually the same as men. They liked the young, beautiful, and energetic opposite sex. However, he could not accept this heavy love that was filled with age. Even if the other party had the ability to give him money! But¡­ but¡­ she was really offering a lot¡­ The local two-story buildings with five rooms and two halls were basically the kind with courtyards. They were all located in the most prosperous area. The market price was more than ten million yuan! Not to mention the cars in Auntie Li¡¯s garage. Even the worst, mid-end car was worth a million yuan. Lin Bai was conflicted and suddenly understood his ex-girlfriend¡¯s mentality. It was really difficult to resist such a huge sugar-coated cannonball! ¡°I¡­¡± Lin Bai hesitated for a long time and finally decided to give up. However, he suddenly felt an irresistible palpitation the moment he uttered ¡°I¡±. It was as if he had encountered an indescribable horror. At this moment, the entire world spun. Lin Bai stood rooted to the ground in a daze. After an unknown period of time, his eyes regained their luster. ¡°What happened?¡± He was stunned and felt a little strange. After carefully sizing up the surrounding scene, he realized that he was still in the original rental house. He was even still in the same position as before. However, what sounded on the phone was the dial tone of an unavailable number. There were no messy clothes thrown by his ex-girlfriend because she had packed her luggage on the bed in the bedroom. His memories suddenly became chaotic. An inexplicable but familiar stream of information went straight to the central nervous system and changed into images that flashed past. They were memories of a life that belonged to another person. ¡°I actually¡­ transmigrated?¡± Lin Bai shouted in disbelief. He looked down at his hands and felt that he was in a dream. He pinched his thigh hard. It hurt. This was not a dream! Lin Bai took a deep breath. He did not expect to become the protagonist of the novel he had written for so long. He transmigrated for no reason! He closed his eyes and recalled the memory that was branded in the depths of his brain. Lin Bai let out a shaky breath and came to a conclusion after a long time. ¡°So it¡¯s a parallel world.¡± However, the situation on this world was different from Earth. All of humanity was facing the threat of subterranean aliens and Origin Beasts. Technology could not resist the threat so they were forced to enter a global martial arts era. The so-called martial artists were those with high-quality talents. They would be blessed by the mysterious power and awaken to become super humans, obtaining all kinds of special and powerful abilities. Only they had the ability to resist the aliens and Origin Beasts and protect the home of all mankind. This place was roughly at the level of a high-level martial arts world according to the standards of novels. Such a world had a prominent characteristic, which was to ignore the weak! People without strength were basically no different from ants. ¡°It¡¯s a little dangerous.¡± Lin Bai wrote novels to begin with, so he naturally had a vague concept of such a world. Strength reigned supremacy! One could only obtain a peaceful place by being strong. Ordinary people had no possibility of controlling the future! Coincidentally, this body had not been enhanced and modified by the mysterious power even though he had transmigrated. There was nothing special about it. It looked like he had no cultivation aptitude. If nothing went wrong, there was no way he could become an Awakened! However, Lin Bai was not discouraged. His eyes even lit up slightly and he was a little excited. He knew the plot of the novel very well. Wasn¡¯t this the classic trash-type protagonist template? Since he was the protagonist of the novel, he must have had an astonishing fortuitous encounter! There had to be a system, a mysterious ring that accommodated the souls of experts, a long-lost ancient ultimate technique, or something else! Lin Bai began to thrift with 90% anticipation and 10% fanaticism. In the end¡­ There was nothing! There was no crisp and pleasant sound in his brain, no strange glowing ring in the room, and no dusty books that he could not understand. Lin Bai could not help but scratch his head. Could it be that he was thinking too much? Not all protagonists had that kind of fantasy fortuitous encounter. Reality was like a basin of cold water that drenched him from head to toe. His enthusiasm for fantasizing was instantly extinguished. He sat down, depressed. ¡°What¡¯s going on? It might as well have been before I transmigrated.¡± He only owed money and was not in danger of losing his life before he transmigrated but now might be devoured by those powerful creatures one day! Wasn¡¯t this being purely unlucky! ¡°No, I can¡¯t just sit back and wait for death!¡± The strong sense of danger made Lin Bai restless. He quickly cleared his thoughts and used his rationality to calm himself down. He began to look up information online. The first rule of survival in the novel¡¯s male lead¡¯s alternate world¡ª Understanding the current situation! Lin Bai knew what he had to do. As a transmigrator, he had a lot of knowledge that did not belong to this world. It all depended on whether he knew how to make use of it! So what if he did not have the help of that illusory cheat? He still had a huge advantage! Lin Bai immediately took action and crazily searched for information online to expand his knowledge reserve. A few hours later¡­ He stood up and left the computer table. He went to the window in the house and looked into the distance. He had found a way! Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°The cultural recreation industry in this world is actually developing so badly.¡± Lin Bai muttered softly. It made sense thinking about it. There was no need to mention the cruelty of the high martial arts world. Ordinary people could not resist the Origin Beasts and subterranean aliens at all, so they naturally suffered heavy casualties. At a time when their living environment was facing a huge threat, survival was naturally the first choice. Who had the time to think about cultural recreation? However, as the number of Awakened increased and this group became stronger, humans and ferocious beasts already had the strength to fight. As a result, people obtained time to catch their breath. Under such circumstances, the need for mental cultural recreation became stronger. This was an opportunity! Novels could also be considered a form of cultural recreation. He happened to be a professional and could just resume his old profession here. Moreover, even though there were many novels in this parallel world, the quality was generally low. Some novels that did not have good core stories were actually regarded as classics! Obviously, the cultural recreation industry in this world was very backward. The novel industry was still in its most primitive state on the Internet. There were no strange categories like fantasy, history, city, supernatural, and Xianxia. They did not even have the concept of a long novel. Most of them were short stories worth tens of thousands of words. Lin Bai could not stand it anymore and felt that it was boring. These authors seemed to be using their words to pile up some mysterious content. There was not a single theme. What was even more exaggerated was that one of them had only 20 chapters in total. He had read 15 chapters and had yet to figure out who the protagonist was. The perspective was too chaotic. He had no idea what the author wanted to write about. They were all trash! This way, he only needed to copy the classic novels he had read on Earth and publish them on the website to obtain honor and money! After accumulating a certain amount of capital, he could seek the protection of experts. At that time, there would be no worries about survival. ¡°It seems feasible!¡± Lin Bai was eager to try and immediately searched for a suitable novel website on the Internet. After a simple search, he realized that everyone was not much different. The entire Internet was in a state of resurgence. Novel websites surged out like bamboo shoots after rain. There was no saying who was stronger. In a situation where they were not strong, it was the same no matter where they went. The only selection criteria were the benefits in each website and the rules for writing books. Lin Bai summarized that more than 90% of websites did not accept novels that involved pornography, gambling, drugs, mafia, politics, and religion after his investigation. Moreover, they had all adopted the model of sharing the royalties. There was no guarantee or buyout. This was a test of the number of users at the main station. Possibility of profit would increase proportionately with the number of readers at the main site. Lin Bai lost interest immediately. It was not that he was harsh, but these websites were really not good enough. Most of the top 10 books on the websites had less than a thousand views a day. Under such circumstances, it would be useless no matter how well he wrote if his exposure was not guaranteed. There would be no benefits. This discovery made Lin Bai a little depressed. He searched aimlessly for a while more and suddenly saw a place called the Myriad World Novel Network. ¡°So arrogant?¡± Lin Bai smiled and looked at the number one book on the sales rankings out of curiosity. The computer suddenly hung for a few seconds. ¡°Unknown?¡± Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. This was the first time such a situation had happened. Could it be that there were too many views and it could not be displayed? Or was this website indecent and not tabulated? Lin Bai felt that the latter was more likely. He clicked on it and took a look at the content of the novel. Hm¡­ It was ordinary and was no different from other places, but the quality was slightly higher. Then, he looked at the library¡­ It was a little ridiculous! There seemed to be many authors posting books. He would see new books in the library every time he refreshed it. It seemed that this website was not small. No wonder it was so arrogant and had the prefix [Myriad Worlds]. Author¡¯s Benefits¡­ None¡­ Hm¡­ Hm? Why is there none! Lin Bai blinked. This was the first time he had seen an author submit a manuscript on the website and was unable to obtain money. What a joke! Publishing out of passion?! However, he quickly noticed that there was a special notice in the contract terms of the website. The cash up function could be used on novels published in the Myriad World Novel Network. He could ask the Intelligent Customer Service about it if he was interested. Lin Bai clicked on the relevant connection and typed a question in the chat box that jumped out. Lin Bai: May I ask what exactly is the cash up function of your website? The other party replied instantly. Intelligent Customer Service: The author can cash up from the published works. It is related to the popularity experienced from the readers. When the popularity reaches a certain standard, they will directly become the author¡¯s remuneration. Lin Bai: ??? Who would believe this? Lin Bai would not believe such nonsense even after he had experienced nonsense like transmigration. This lousy website did not treat the authors as humans. Pyramid schemes would draw a pancake for people at the very least. But look at you, you can¡¯t even be bothered to draw a pancake. You treat people as fools! Lin Bai rolled his eyes. His mouse was ready to close the webpage. Just as he was about to close the webpage, he had other thoughts. This Myriad World Novel Network looked to be quite extensive. Users would definitely be diverted to other places if he managed to destroy it. That would be beneficial to him. Just do it! The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s mouth curled into a devilish smile. Since you deliberately disgust the author, don¡¯t blame the author for disgusting you! Lin Bai knocked his fingers on the table and quickly confirmed the theme of the submission. Short story! Sexual Content! R18! The reason why he chose this was naturally because of its restricted content. Once it was released, it would definitely be banned by the entire Internet. It would definitely implicate the website and make it suffer punishment. Secondly, it was because writing short stories on such a theme was fast-paced, immersive, and interesting. It was very easy to attract a large number of readers in a short period of time and guarantee that they would read and retain them. The more people read it, the more influence he would have. The more beneficial the outcome would be to him! Lin Bai made up his mind and immediately began to write the outline. This is a necessary process. He did not have a super memory, so he could not write the works he had seen on Earth word for word. He could create the book a second time on the basis of the plot framework of the original book at most. He was just copying the framework. He believed that it was more than enough to stun everyone in this relatively backward world. Moreover, he was from a famous university in the Literature Department. His writing skills far exceeded the average standard. The works written might be able to surpass the master! Lin Bai spent nearly an hour polishing the final version of the outline. After reading it a few times, he had a clear story process in his mind. Then, he began to write. How does one write an erotica? Most new authors liked to describe the shape of the sexual organs in detail, the male lead¡¯s actions in exploring the body of the opposite sex, or spend a lot of pen and ink on how to be wanton and lewd when women were in love. Lin Bai was a veteran author who had been in the online literature industry for many years. He felt that even though writing like this could attract attention, it was very easy to cause reading fatigue if he did not control the length well. After pondering for a moment, he decided to use the psychological changes of the male and female leads when they experienced various events as the main subject to advance the plot and describe it in detail. He would first make the characters alive to increase immersion and expectations. Then, he would make them burn with passion at the right time! The story was the core. Sexual description was just icing on the cake! Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios There was no need to write many short stories. 10,000 per story with small paragraphs. Three to four turning points would be enough. Lin Bai¡¯s typing speed was alright. He could write four to five thousand words in an hour. He would definitely be able to complete this little yellow book after writing for 10 hours without modifying it. However, this was only theoretical. Writing required a lot of inspiration. When his thoughts were blocked, it was very normal for him to not be able to write a hundred words in 10 hours. Moreover, humans were not machines. They could not do their work seamlessly. Lin Bai was in good condition today. By the evening, nearly a third of the manuscript had been completed. He was satisfied. After eating and drinking his fill, he chose to rest and prepared to continue the next day. He lived in seclusion for three days just like that. Lin Bai finally ended the short novel and sent it to the Myriad World Novel Network. [Ding! Announcement successful!] Very good, there were no obstacles. As expected of a world where webnovels were in their infancy stage. There was not even a stage where review was necessary. However, there were many new books released on the Myriad World Novel Network every day. His yellow novel was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response at all. 10 minutes later, there were still 0 reads and 0 Added to the Library. ¡°¡­¡± Lin Bai was a little unhappy. Could his debut novel have died without being exposed? Forget it! Out of sight, out of mind! Perhaps there would be feedback over the next two days! It was early in the morning. Lin Bai turned off his computer again, washed up, and went to bed. ¡­ Early in the morning, a pillar saluted the sky. Lin Bai felt his lower body swell uncomfortably and woke up in a daze. He lifted the blanket and focused. F*ck! Why was his Little Brother so majestic! What provoked it! He did not have a wet dream last night either! Lin Bai was stunned for more than half a minute. It was only when a strong wind wrapped in coldness attacked from outside the window until his body could not help but tremble that Lin Bai came back to his senses. ¡°Is it bigger?¡± Lin Bai swallowed and stretched out his palm to estimate¡­ 10 seconds later¡­ He was completely stunned. Lin Bai would never have thought that he would become as talented as the male lead of the pornography released last night after just a nap! Not only was it extremely thick and long, it was also as hard as iron and he could not grasp it fully in one hand! This change shocked Lin Bai. If he had a beautiful woman like the female protagonist beside him to test its strength, she would definitely cry out in surprise if he entered with this size¡­ Wait¡­ What was the author¡¯s benefit of the Myriad World Novel Network? Cash up the ability that reached the popularity standard? Could it be that¡­ ¡°Is this f*cking true?¡± Lin Bai was dumbfounded. He did not even care about putting on his pants. He hurriedly got up and ran to the computer table. He turned on the computer and opened the author¡¯s platform from the Myriad World Novel Network. ¡°The girl beside the sycamore tree¡± Status: Ended Added to library: 3,142 Reading Count: 75,000 Evaluation: 736 Number of votes on the characteristics of the most popular protagonist: 1,343 Cash up progress: 100% Hint: The most popular characteristic of the protagonist is¡ªSexual Ability. Successfully cash upped! ¡­ F*ck? Restricted books were actually not banned! It even became popular! ¡°Ah, this¡­¡± Lin Bai was in a dizzy state. From his understanding of the web novel websites in this world, it was obvious that the Myriad World Novel Network had already crushed its other peers. This reading volume of 75,000 was unrivaled in the same period works on the entire Internet. Others were still struggling to break through on the four-figure viewership, but he was already charging at the six-figure viewership? What was even more terrifying was that this was a new book that had only been released for one night! If the exposure increased further in a few days, with this level of increase, it would probably not be difficult for the number of views to break through to hundreds of thousands. There were only 25 chapters of content, but there were actually thousands of people reading them. As expected of¡­ As expected of a world lagging behind in cultural recreation! This was the first time Lin Bai had experienced the feeling of his new book becoming popular. He could not help but feel a little smug. At this moment, he also realized that the Myriad World Novel Network was not an easy place. The ability to cash up was an exaggeration. This was much stronger than a system! As long as his work was outstanding enough, all the abilities of his fantasy could become reality! Lin Bai was instantly filled with motivation. He calmed down and began to seriously understand this magical website. ¡­ Half an hour later, Lin Bai had a deeper understanding of the Myriad World Novel Network. Among them, the most important thing was that the Myriad World Novel Network did not restrict any theme! As long as you dared to write it, it would dare to publish it! This rule perfectly released the author¡¯s imagination and was no longer limited by the miscellaneous ¡®forbidden area rules¡¯. In addition, the website had many author-related functions. For example, gifts, comments, author sign on levels, and so on. As the name suggested, gifts could be given by readers who feel that the novel was very good and rewards the author with a red packet. However, the Myriad World Novel Network was different. The gifts here were not only money. Any non-living thing that existed in a physical body could be given away. There was no problem even if they were weapons, cultivation techniques, antiques, and high-tech products. Of course, if the author¡¯s book disgusted the reader, he could also gift feces and blades that were not life-threatening to vent their emotions when the author received more than 50% bad reviews¡­ As for the comment function, it was related to the cash up progress. The more good reviews there were, the faster the cash up would be. What was worth mentioning was that the stronger the ability, the more good reviews were needed to cash up. If the most popular ability was ¡®whatever spoken would become the law¡¯, the number of good reviews needed would definitely be an astronomical number. There was a high chance that it would not be achieved. Under such circumstances, the website would automatically determine that the secondary popularity ability had replaced it to avoid a bug that hindered the cash up progress. Finally, there was the author¡¯s sign on levels. This was more complicated. It was a huge system. From high to low, the level of SABCDEF corresponded to the ability to extract cash up from the novels. F-Tier was the most ordinary, and S-Tier was the strongest. In other words, if you were an F-Tier novel author and wrote an S-Tier ability in your book, even if it was the most popular and reached the cash up standard, it could not be cashed out. That was unless you managed to raise the sign on level to S. There was only one way to increase the sign on level ¡ª Publish novels that reached the threshold of influence. The website would evaluate the record according to the level of your cash up ability. According to the rules, one could only advance to an E-Tier Contracted Author after writing two F-Tier novels and three E-Tier novels before advancing to a D-Tier, and so on. Every work would be rated when the author first cash upped his ability. If he made cash up but the data was not high enough to reach the rating standard, it would be tragic. It would have been written for nothing! This path could be said to be far-fetched if he reached S-tier in the end. However, it was very worthy of Lin Bai¡¯s anticipation and pursuit! This was because he was surprised to discover that these abilities could actually correspond to the level of martial arts in reality. Apprentice, Martial Artist, Martial Warrior, Martial Expert, Master, Grandmaster, Martial Arts Grandmaster! This meant that as long as the novels he wrote were popular enough, he could become a top-notch Awakened one day! Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I¡¯m not a contracted author yet. My data shouldn¡¯t have reached the standard yet, right?¡± Nearly 100,000 readings had yet to touch the threshold of F-Tier. It was hard to imagine how huge a reading base would be required to reach S-Tier. Lin Bai looked at the backstage data that was increasing visibly. Other than being excited, he felt that the Myriad World Novel Network was even more unfathomable. He was not in a hurry. He could not achieve anything with haste. Writing online novels required time to verify the results. With his current situation, there was still hope. Lin Bai lay leisurely in his chair, feeling a sense of accomplishment. From time to time, he would refresh the webpage and sit and watch the various increase in statistics, waiting for the moment the website issued the contract invitation. Suddenly¡­ The number of comments had actually increased by hundreds! What was going on? Lin Bai refreshed the webpage and realized that two comments had become trending¡ª [Merciless Path Ice Valley Holy Maiden: Is this the love between a man and a woman¡­] It looked like a comment left by a delicate girl from an Awakened faction who had given up her lust in exchange for strength a minute ago. The replies below were as high as 200. All of them were very surprised. [Blood Massacre Palace¡¯s Wen Chengrui: ¡­ The Ice Valley Holy Maiden is also reading romance novels? It¡¯s rare.] [A Loose Cultivator: Holy Maiden, do you want to fall in love?] [A Thousand People With A Thousand Faces: I didn¡¯t expect a big shot I don¡¯t usually see to meet here. Even the Merciless Holy Maiden is here. Good Lord, what strange news!] ¡­ They seemed to be all supporters of this Holy Maiden. Lin Bai did not know anyone. He could not even find any information related to them on the Internet. He could not help but sigh that there was indeed a difference between ordinary people and Awakened ones. Moreover, it was a difference that could not be communicated! It was even more exaggerated as he continued reading. This was actually a monk¡¯s comment! [Sweeping Old Monk: Good Lord. I wouldn¡¯t be alone now if I saw this text 200 years ago.] [Blood Massacre Temple¡¯s Wen Chengrui: @Sweeping Old Monk, it¡¯s not too late to renounce asceticism. The Blood Massacre Temple welcomes you. You can choose any unmarried women in the palace.] [Sweeping Old Monk replied: Amitabha. There are very few men in the world like in the books. This old man admits that I¡¯m inferior. There are even fewer women like her. She¡¯s rare in the world. If not, it would only increase my feeling of regret if someone like her exists.] [Blood Massacre Palace¡¯s Wen Chengrui replied: Master, your cultivation is ancient and unprecedented. What¡¯s so difficult about walking through the world? How will you know the outcome if you don¡¯t try romance? It¡¯s the same principle as in this book where men and women experience hardships and finally get together.] [Sweeping Old Monk replied: ¡­ Sigh, let¡¯s talk about it another day.] ¡­ Good God! The Ice Valley Saint, who cultivated the Heartless Path, actually yearned for love because of his book. Even old supreme eminent monks hundreds of years old were tempted to return to secular life and seek love. Lin Bai looked at these comments that looked like he had never seen the world and could not help but laugh. Was the plot of this short erotica that good? To be honest, it was so-so! He had only written a very ordinary short romance novel. It was the typical template of a domineering CEO who fell in love with an ugly duckling. After the ugly duckling evolved into a beautiful white swan, he added a few supporting roles that coveted the female lead to show off and slap the protagonist¡¯s face. There was nothing special other than that. To put it bluntly, if this book was placed on any website on Earth, probably no one would add it to their library over 10 days, let alone a contract for it to be released! This was because this plot was too clich¨¦. Readers were already tired of aesthetics and there was no market. But there was no choice. The readers of the Myriad World Novel Network were inexperienced! He did not even need to go all out to ponder the plot. He only needed to make a slight move to reach the peak of this world. ¡°Awesome!¡± The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s mouth curled up, feeling invincible. Beep, beep, beep! A brisk notification suddenly sounded from the computer. It was a message from the Myriad World Novel Network. Lin Bai opened it and saw that the editor had come looking for him. [Editor Sake: Hello, Author Big Boss. May I ask if you have any plans to sign on for the book ¡°The girl beside the sycamore tree¡± at this website?] Here it comes! Writing books on the Myriad World Novel Network could only obtain a writer title after signing a contract and unlock functions like rewards. There were many benefits. Otherwise, there would only be one simple cash up function. He did not expect to be able to sign the contract so quickly! Lin Bai¡¯s eyes lit up. His fingers quickly typed a line of words on the keyboard, but after thinking for a few seconds, he pressed the delete button. ¡°Wait, there must be more than one editor in the Myriad World Novel Network.¡± Lin Bai pondered and pinched his chin. ¡°Logically speaking, editors all have recommendation spots. Now that they took the initiative to look for me, why should I sign up with them if they don¡¯t give me any benefits?¡± There would definitely be a commission for an editor to sign a book with good data. It had only been half a day since ¡°The girl beside the sycamore tree¡± was released, but it had already rushed to the top ten of the new book list. Editors would definitely fight over such data! The one who was anxious now was the other party, not him. In any case, his book had already been successfully cash upped. After signing the contract, he would at most obtain an F-Tier rating record and possible rewards in the future. There should be nothing else. With this thought in mind, Lin Bai simply leaned into the back of his chair and lay down with his legs crossed, quietly waiting for news from the other editors after he sent a reply that said, ¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡±. His consciousness was a little chaotic. Perhaps it was because he had stayed up late last night and did not sleep enough, causing him to be mentally exhausted. Let¡¯s take a nap. Lin Bai bathed in the sunlight spilling in from the balcony. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. The warm feeling gradually dissipated. The breeze brought a slightly cold stimulation and blew away his sleepiness. When he opened his eyes, there was a long string of information in the chat interface with that Editor Sake. 07:27:52 [Editor Sake: Wow!! Great author!! Your book has more than 100,000 views in less than 12 hours! You¡¯re going to become a god!] 08:36:17 [Editor Sake: Oh my god!! Author, I just finished reading your work. It was really written too well. In terms of the overall smoothness of the story, the plot ups and downs, and the detailed setting, I feel that not many authors on the entire website can reach your level. It¡¯s hard to imagine that a new author can create something like this. It¡¯s too awesome!!] 08:36:35 [Editor Sake: QAQ is just a little short¡­ I feel like I haven¡¯t had enough after reading it¡­] 08:42:55 [Editor Sake: ¡­ Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re still asleep¡­ Or¡­ you don¡¯t want to sign a contract with me?] 09:13:23 [Editor Sake: Great Author!! I just applied for a very good recommendation slot from the editor-in-chief. As long as you¡¯re willing, I can provide you with a classification recommendation slot.] 09:13:37 [Editor Sake: Even though this book is already over and there¡¯s a high chance that there won¡¯t be any subsequent income, you can quickly accumulate fans after obtaining momentum. Your popularity will also be guaranteed when you start the next book.] 09:34:55 [Editor Sake: Weeping (Emoji)] ¡­ Lin Bai smiled unkindly after reading it. Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This editor called ¡®Sake¡¯ should be a girl from her tone. She was probably the cute type. What a pity! Lin Bai liked older sisters, so he was still not in a hurry. First, he opened the chat panel of the smart customer service and understood the difficulty of signing a contract with the Myriad World Novel Network and the level of this ¡°Classification Recommendation¡±. He would not have known if he had not seen it, but he was shocked now that he had. The sign on rate of the Myriad World Novel Network was actually so low that it made one¡¯s hair stand on end. Only 0.03%! In other words, only three out of 10,000 authors could sign a contract! Lin Bai looked at these statistics and sighed. ¡°No wonder there are so many trashy novels. It seems that most people can¡¯t even get a contract.¡± He still remembered the time when he was writing books on Earth, the website he was on had the lowest pass rate on the entire Internet, but it was still 5 to 8%. Even though there was no threshold to writing novels, it was no longer a problem of standards to reach 0.03%. Lin Bai had reason to suspect that the people of this world did not have a high literacy rate so there was a huge flaw in their language organization ability, causing such an outcome. As for the recommendation slot¡­ That was the website¡¯s selling point. The better the recommendation location, the easier it would be to be seen by others. The corresponding level of exposure would also increase. And the recommendation slot that Sake agreed to was actually the rarest among the newbie recommendations. Typically, those authors who were invited to sign contracts could only obtain two types of recommendation slots: ¡®popular categories¡¯ and ¡®new book selections¡¯. He could only advance and obtain the better ¡®New Book Recommendation¡¯ after he reached a certain standard. Then, he would continue to PK with the works in ¡®New Book Recommendations¡¯ during the same period. Only those that reached the top five could obtain the ¡®Classification Recommendation¡¯ slot¡¯. There was no need to mention the amount of fame and money that would come with it. However, Classification Recommendation was a higher and unique title. It was equivalent to throwing the book ¡°The girl beside the sycamore tree¡± on the top page of the Sexual Classification webpage. It could be seen at a glance. It could be said that anyone who frequented this category would click in. One could imagine how terrifying this exposure was. Originally, he had to win first place in these rounds of battles if he wanted to obtain this recommendation slot. In the end, Sake directly applied for Lin Bai to skip the cumbersome process. Clearly, the website was nurturing his debut novel as a divine book and giving it the best support. ¡°This saves me a lot of time.¡± Lin Bai was still confident in his book. Even though he did not write it especially seriously, it was still something that was difficult to obtain by the authors of the Myriad World Novel Network. One day, he would be able to obtain this recommendation slot with his strength. However, he was still not in a hurry to sign the contract. He planned to look at the deals from the other editors first. There was nothing wrong with comparing goods! He opened his backend message and roughly checked it. During this period of time, many editors had found him, but the conditions they proposed were not as generous as what Sake offered. This time, Lin Bai did not hesitate much and directly replied to Sake, agreeing to sign the contract with her. The other party replied instantly. Editor Sake: !!! Editor Sake: Big Boss is alive!!! Lin Bai: ¡°?¡± Do you have any manners? Editor Sake: Ahahaha, I¡¯m too excited¡­ I¡¯m sorry, Big Boss. I thought you had already signed a contract with another editor. Lin Bai: I wanted to wait a little longer, but I really had no choice. You gave me too much. The other party sent a smiling emoji. After chatting for a while, Lin Bai successfully signed a contract with the website with Sake and officially became an F-Tier author of the Myriad World Novel Network. ¡­ The recommendation spot was obtained the day after. It would last for a week. On the day he received the classification, Lin Bai saw the various statistics of ¡°The girl beside the sycamore tree¡± increase greatly again. He had already looked down on everyone on the new book rankings and occupied the first place. He would also inherit the first place on the Author Newcomer Ranking. His debut had already maxed out even though there were no special benefits. More and more readers were diverted to his book under the dual effect of the recommendation slot and the rankings. For a moment, the number of comments exceeded 100,000. [Loner Qingyuan: The author¡¯s writing is good, but obscene works can¡¯t be ranked as elegant in the end. If he writes a proper novel, I, Qingyuan, will definitely subscribe to it in full.] Fans +1! This person seemed to be an Awakened who cultivated alone from the name. He did not expect that as an ordinary person, he could actually conquer the strong with words and stories! A sense of accomplishment spread in Lin Bai¡¯s heart. He was secretly delighted and continued to browse the other comments. [Immortal Master of the Qingping Path, Luo Cheng: The author is actually able to write an erotic novel so refreshingly and engrossingly. He can be considered a genius. Not bad, I¡¯m looking forward to the next work.] [True Lord of Nine Wanderings: Whoa, I haven¡¯t seen a book that can make my heart itch uncontrollably for a long time. It¡¯s just that this length is really too short. Why did such a good story end so quickly?] [Heavenly Emperor Tianxin: Putting aside the story itself, the reason why this book can become popular is most likely because of lust. Heh, the author even specially used the first-person writing method to increase the sense of immersion, allowing a group of lechers and dirty people to fantasize about themselves as the protagonist of a novel having sex with the female protagonist. This method of attracting attention is really despicable!] [Sage King of the Lil Sect: @Heavenly Emperor Tianxin speaking for yourself! The benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise. This book is so unique, and the story is peerlessly exciting. It far exceeds the new books of the entire station. You are so dirty-minded, but you can only see these things. How can you call yourself an Emperor with this level of attainment? Ridiculous!] [Heavenly Emperor Tianxin: @Sage King of Lil Sect, you¡¯re anxious already? Did I poke your sore spot?] [Hehe, this book was indeed well written. The story was smooth and without delay, and the plot fluctuated. Some of the small settings and creativity were also refreshing. The emotional entanglement between the male and female leads and the depiction of flesh scenes were all at the top-notch level, but can anyone deny the fact that the author used ¡®erotic¡¯ to attract people¡¯s attention? Don¡¯t be so shallow when reading books. Everyone can learn with a critical perspective. It¡¯s beneficial to the readers and authors.] ¡­ The muscles on Lin Bai¡¯s face twitched from time to time while he was reading these comments. What kind of talents are these? The names were getting more and more chuunibyou1. They were probably crazy from reading fantasy novels. Their way of speaking was also very strange. It was neither scholarly nor modern, giving people the feeling that modern people were trying to express their thoughts in ancient language. However, because their level of culture was not high enough, it was a little idiotic in its seriousness. ¡°I¡¯m really impressed that they can read pornography and understand it.¡± Lin Bai closed the webpage and stopped paying attention to the comments. All authors had their own arrogance. It¡¯s not up to you, a layman, to judge if the book I write is good or bad. If you don¡¯t think it¡¯s good and that there¡¯s still room for improvement. Write it down yourself! Why read his books and suffer? Why would an erotica be called an erotica if it wasn¡¯t about sex? Crazy! Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios However, Lin Bai was not someone who did not listen to opinions. Most of the readers in the comments area generally felt that with his writing skills, it would be more promising for him to write serious books. He should not bury his talent in the relatively niche category of erotica. In fact, Lin Bai also felt that there was no future in writing pornography. He lived in a martial arts world that respected strength after all. If he did not have any ability in his fists, what right did he have to stand tall? Rely on my third leg at my crotch? Hehehehehehe¡­ Lin Bai felt that even the male protagonist of the lewd novel, ¡°I have 3,000 women to control and unify the world¡±, was not so awesome. He still had to increase his strength! ¡°What should the second book be about?¡± Lin Bai began to think. ¡°I¡¯m only an F-Tier author now. There¡¯s definitely no need to write about Fantasy Xianxia. Supernatural¡­ seems to have exceeded the limit by a hundred million points. Magical Realism? That doesn¡¯t seem too good¡­¡± His phone suddenly vibrated, disrupting his thoughts. It was a friend whose name he could not remember. ¡°Hello?¡± Lin Bai casually picked it up. A strong male voice came from the receiver. ¡°Hey, Lin Bai, are you still writing novels at home?¡± ¡°Yes, why?¡± The other party¡¯s tone suddenly became abnormally excited. ¡°Saint Lijoann Martial Arts Academy is publicly recruiting students. Are you interested?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Bai was confused. Martial Arts Academy? What is that? ¡°Didn¡¯t you shout that you wanted to become a Martial Artist previously? This is an opportunity!¡± ¡°Did I?¡± A few memory fragments appeared in Lin Bai¡¯s mind like waves blown by a breeze. He suddenly remembered. The so-called martial arts academy was an industry established by some experts to nurture their own forces. It could be understood as an ¡®Excavation Base for the Awakened¡¯. The goal was to find extraordinary potential in ordinary people and nurture them, allowing them to also have extraordinary strength and become a member of the Awakened. In the past, ¡®he¡¯ did want to become a Martial Artist, but he never had the chance. Now that the Martial Arts Academy was publicly recruiting students, he might be able to succeed. ¡°What if the strength of the soul of a transmigrator is higher?¡± Lin Bai did not have any confidence about his body. He could only place his hopes on other levels. Using this opportunity to become an Awakened or obtain the protection of the academy, was definitely safer than staying in this rented house to write. He accepted his friend¡¯s invitation. After knowing the exact time of the recruitment, he packed his luggage and went out to ride his bicycle to his destination. Transportation was not eliminated in the social circle of ordinary people. In fact, owning a car was a symbol of wealth even when technology and productivity had regressed. Not everyone could become an Awakened after all. Mobility tools can still provide many conveniences to individuals even though it was not able to outrun those creatures. The Protector could not guard every inch of land as the city was huge and dangerous. In this living area that accommodated tens of millions of people, it was not strange for Origin Beasts and subterranean aliens to appear. Lin Bai walked very carefully. The routes were all in bustling streets. Not for any other reason. He was afraid that the Origin Beasts would chase after him alone when an unexpected situation happened¡­ Having one more target was one more guarantee. Fortunately, it was a smooth journey. Lin Bai did not encounter those ferocious mutated beasts and safely arrived at his destination. Not far away, the courtyard wall of the Saint Lijoann Martial Arts Academy stood in front of him. Men and women came and went, either excited or depressed. There were a lot of people who came to participate in the recruitment test. It was a recruitment without a threshold after all. There was a possibility of awakening by everyone from an eight-year-old child to an 80-year-old old man. Saint Lijoann did not refuse anyone and created such a lively scene. Lin Bai blended into the crowd and slowly moved in the direction of the crowd. He quickly found the test area without any guidance. After watching from the side for a while, Lin Bai roughly understood the recruitment requirements of the Saint Lijoann Martial Arts Academy. In general, the recruitment test was divided into three types. Combat, theory, and potential. The first was suitable for people who had already awakened but wanted to further their studies. The academy would give them special privileges and directly put them on the list of the chosen. The second was to test the strength of those Awakened who were not good at fighting. Awakened ones had all kinds of abilities after all. Even though they were evaluated by the same Martial Artist level, there were still differences in strength. All of them were Awakened at the Apprentice realm. One had an S-Tier ability, and the other was an F-Tier. Who was more worthy of nurturing? The answer was obvious. The last potential type tests were specially targeted at ordinary people. Everyone who came to take the test could choose the corresponding test area according to their own judgment. If he felt that his strength or stamina was different from ordinary people, he would test his Vitality Value. Those who felt that they could affect or even control that invisible and intangible power went to test their Elemental Value. If he felt that his brain was special, he would test his Mental Value. ¡°It seems that there are only these three differences in the types of abilities of Awakened. Hmm¡­¡± Lin Bai hesitated, not knowing if he should test the Elemental Value or the Mental Value. Souls¡­ should be related to the mind, right? Therefore, he left the spectating crowd and lined up at the end of the rightmost line of the third category. Dozens of minutes later¡­ ¡°Lin Bai, Mental Value is weak, doesn¡¯t meet the standard. Next!¡± Lin Bai did not believe it. Could it be related to Elemental Value? He took a big stride and stood at the end of the middle row. Another dozens of minutes passed¡­ ¡°Lin Bai, doesn¡¯t have any Elemental Value attributes, doesn¡¯t meet the standard. Next!!¡± ¡°¡­ F*ck?¡± Lin Bai was dealt a blow. Is he a transmigrator or not? Why don¡¯t he have any special abilities at all? His phone vibrated just as he was feeling surprised. It was another call from his friend. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hahahaha! Lin Bai!! I passed!! What about you? How are you?¡± ¡°I tested it twice. Nothing.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Some were happy, while others were sad. Lin Bai was the saddest amongst all We¡¯re all brothers. Why are you an Awakened while I¡¯m still struggling to survive in the world of ordinary people? So unfitting! His friend comforted him for a while before hanging up. It seemed that this was the end of their brotherhood. Lin Bai sighed. He learned something from his friend. Everyone could try the recruitment test of the Saint Lijoann Martial Arts Academy three times at most and they could not repeat it. In other words, Lin Bai only had one last chance to test his Vitality value. But¡­ He glanced at the small beer belly on his stomach. His body, which had not worked out for a long time because he had been typing, was already riddled with holes and was plagued by hidden illnesses. How could he pass the Vitality Value test with a physique that was even inferior to ordinary people? This was his last chance¡­ He would have to continue living in the rented house in fear and difficulty every day if he couldn¡¯t pass it. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios His life was the most important no matter how big the world was. Lin Bai frowned. He could only think of one solution after pondering. Go home and write a martial arts novel! He would participate in the assessment after he had cash upped his physique. The admission test should last for a long time judging by the sea of people. There should be enough time to start a new book. Yup! Just do it! He would seek the academy¡¯s protection when he obtained the ability of an Awakened. In the future, he would be able to write in peace and develop silently. Wouldn¡¯t it be easy to punch Origin Beasts and kick the as* of foreign races after becoming an S-Tier author? ¡°Wuxia theme, what should I write about¡­¡± The plot of a story is always the core of a novel. Only by establishing this theme could the other parts grow slowly, like branches that unfolded bit by bit. Lin Bai had been thinking about this problem on the way home. During this time, he encountered an Origin Beast. The battle was huge, but it was far away from him. Lin Bai was not in the mood to watch the show and avoided it. The detour took a little longer, but they made it to the rental house before dark. After running around for a day, he was already exhausted. Lin Bai looked up at the light while lying limply on the sofa, his mind racing. ¡°Why don¡¯t I write about an invincible swordsman who upholds justice?¡± After thinking for a while, he silently rejected this idea. A swordsman¡¯s strength lay in his sword techniques. It had nothing to do with his physique and was not of much help to him. In the future, he could consider improving his combat ability with techniques, but not now. Then¡­ Should he write about an invulnerable martial monk who tore apart bandits and kicked corrupt officials to suppress all injustice in the world? Lin Bai¡¯s slender fingers gently knocked on the sofa. He could write about it, but there were a few things he had to pay attention to. The character¡¯s personality and way of doing things should not stand out too much. Even though it was Wuxia, the word ¡°chivalrous¡± could only be used as a tool to promote the plot. If the protagonist was portrayed too voluptuously, especially in a majestic and upright sense, and many readers liked it, it would easily cause the cash up to change from ¡®character abilities¡¯ to ¡®character characteristics¡¯. This was something Lin Bai could not accept. He did not have much time left. There was no room for trial and error. He had to settle it with one book. ¡°Gotta add something that¡¯ll stick in people¡¯s hearts.¡± It was not difficult for the author to add, reduce, and organize the content. Moreover, Lin Bai did not intend to write a full-length novel. The new book would be completed around 100,000 words. It was very simple to establish such a ¡®small world¡¯. Lin Bai got up and sat in front of the computer, starting to write the outline. The background of the martial arts world naturally included famous but long-lost martial arts. The protagonist¡¯s family would definitely be destroyed and he would bear a blood feud. However, he would be saved by the mysterious monk and raised by him as a disciple. He would be brainwashed every day to not take revenge and be a good person. He could not write too much about the daily content of a stable life. He had to continue the tragic life of the protagonist. It would be best if he had just become an adult and his master had died in an accident, leaving behind only a titleless book. As expected, unforeseen events happened one after another. First, there was a scene of a villain chasing after a beautiful heroine on the mountain where no one had ever appeared. The protagonist met them by chance. Out of kindness, he saved the damsel in distress. However, he accidentally learned that there was a change in the martial world, and it happened to be related to the titleless book in his hand. In the end, he was involved in the dispute. With the martial arts he learned from his master and the support from cultivating that titleless book, he swept through everything, punishing evil and promoting good. His reputation spread far and wide¡­ Yes, it would be best if there was a mastermind behind the chaos in the underworld, and it was the murderer who killed the protagonist¡¯s biological parents and master. This way, the protagonist would have a good reason and the story would have a thick plot. It was perfect! ¡°How clich¨¦.¡± Lin Bai smiled as he wrote. It was a trick that had been abandoned many years ago. Now, it was used to fool the ignorant readers of the Myriad World Novel Network. It really made him blush. Such a plot process was still a classic template even though it was a clich¨¦. Many later works had only been modified based on this foundation. Lin Bai did not need to be so particular now. He could just apply it. After determining the main content, the core content of this novel had already been revealed. Whether it was the main storyline or the protagonist¡¯s cheat, they were all written around the ultimate lost martial arts technique. One was light and the other was darkness, complementing each other. At the end, when the readers realized that the titleless book was the lost ultimate technique, the sudden realization would definitely deepen their impression. It was only right for it to cash up! ¡°What should I set the effect of the lost technique to be?¡± Lin Bai thought for a few seconds. ¡°The core foundation of ¡®martial arts¡¯ in the Wuxia world can¡¯t be separated from the concept of ¡®internal power¡¯. Then¡­ I¡¯ll set it to automatically increase internal power after cultivation!¡± This effect was a little abnormal, but as the protagonist, so what if he was stronger? It felt good to write it, and it felt good to read it. It was not to the extent that they would have to leave it to fate and place their hopes on others when they encountered any danger. If the cheat was too weak, what if there was a stalemate when writing the contradictory points, causing the plot to be unable to come back? Could it be that he had to write the protagonist to death and then revive? Lin Bai pursed his lips. That was no different from feeding sh*t to the readers. He needed to cash up quickly, so he definitely had to avoid these minefields that might cause readers to leave. Time trickled away like drops of water. It was already dawn in the blink of an eye. Lin Bai read and polished it repeatedly after writing the outline. After confirming that there were no problems, he immediately started writing. Most authors liked to stay up late to write books. The later they stayed up, the more energetic they became, as if they would not feel tired. Perhaps it was because it was relatively quiet, it was easy to focus. Only when it was close to dawn would that state fade. Lin Bai was no exception. After writing for three consecutive days and saving the manuscript of more than 50,000 words, he logged into the author¡¯s backend platform and sent them all out at once. [Ding! Respected F-Tier author Lin Bai, your work ¡°Heavenly Dao Record¡± has been successfully released!] The name of the novel was named after the cultivation technique so that it could further deepen the readers¡¯ impression. As for whether he could cash up this cultivation technique, he could only wait for news from the platform. It was 6:43 pm, the prime time when people get off work and have free time to read! Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios He had nothing to do after uploading the book and decided to sleep and rest. However, Lin Bai did not sleep well. 00:23 He was woken up by a sharp whistle. Perhaps it was some kind of bird-type Origin Beasts that warned humans to live in groups. It was hard to imagine how powerful these Origin Beasts were. 01:15 There was a faint noise outside the window, as if something was trying to pry it open¡­ No, it was knocking open the window. Fortunately, the residences of contemporary humans were all made of special materials. The windows were fused with the walls. Once locked, they could not be pushed open violently unless they had the power to destroy the walls. After listening for a while, it was obvious that the other party did not possess such power. However, such a commotion was still terrifying. Lin Bai resisted the urge to go out and check and did not take the risk. Who knew if the Origin Beasts would have special abilities like the Awakened? He would suffer a huge loss if it could affect his mind and cause irreversible damage. 03:47 The alarm in a certain area of the city was raised. It was a small-scale invasion by the Origin Beasts or subterranean aliens. 03:52 Faint explosions could be heard. Perhaps the Awakened ones guarding the city were fighting them. Lin Bai was very sleepy and drifted off to sleep again in the midst of the commotion. 04:38 A warm current surged in his lower abdomen. Lin Bai thought that it was because he wanted to pee. He went to the toilet in a daze and took off his pants to pee. Sizzle¡­ Bam! The crisp sound made Lin Bai¡¯s nerves, which had been tense all night, instantly scrunch up. A corner of the toilet bowl had shattered upon a closer look. Correspondingly, what disappeared was the warm current that had just appeared in his body. ¡°F*ck? What was going on?¡± Lin Bai looked confused. He directly shattered the toilet bowl by peeing? How could the impact be so great? No¡­ It can¡¯t be¡­ Could it be the manifestation of ¡®internal power¡¯ because of the successful cash up of the Heavenly Dao Record? This thought suddenly appeared. Lin Bai was no longer sleepy and hurriedly ran to turn on the computer. The few seconds of waiting time seemed to last for an eternity at this moment. Lin Bai opened the webpage as quickly as possible and entered the author¡¯s backstage of the Myriad World Novel Network¡ª Heavenly Dao Record Status: Ongoing Added to library: 47K Reading Count: 1,285,000 Evaluation: 6,251 Number of votes on the characteristics of the most popular protagonist: 16,244 Cash up progress: 100% Hint: The most popular characteristic of the protagonist is¡ª The connate cultivation technique, Heavenly Dao Record, has been successfully cash upgraded! ¡­ !!! Lin Bai was dumbfounded. He had not even finished writing his new book and had only been released for a few hours, but he had already succeeded in its cash up? This data was too exaggerated! Lin Bai did a simple conversion. The new book had a total of 24 chapters and 1,285,000 views. On average, more than 50,000 people were reading his books at the same time! However, this data was not accurate enough. There were definitely many people who abandoned the book once they felt that they did not suit their taste. However, in short, there were at least 20,000 to 30,000 people. On Earth, only God-Tier authors with an especially large fan base would meet such a situation. ¡°Even the authors who obtained the New Book Recommendations on the website might not be able to reach this number, right?¡± The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s mouth curled up. He could not help but smile. From the looks of it, the previous erotica had accumulated a lot of fans for him. He casually opened the comments section and saw that it was indeed so. [A Thousand People With A Thousand Faces: The new book is finally here!! Let me ask you first before reading. Is this book serious? I won¡¯t read it if it¡¯s not serious!] [Blood Massacre Palace Wen Chengrui: Wow, I read up till the latest chapter all night. What happens after the protagonist saves the heroine? Will it still be as dirty as in the previous book? F*ck, why stop at the most exciting part?] [Battle King Breeze: I¡¯ve already taken off my pants. Where are the next chapters?? Post them!!!] [Merciless Path Ice Valley Saint: Why are there still authors who don¡¯t publish complete stories at once? I¡¯m so annoyed.] [A vagrant cultivator: ¡­ Is this still the noble and cold Ice Valley Saint? I can even see her emotions from reading books. Is she still going to cultivate the Heartless Path¡­] ¡­ Lin Bai could not help but smile when he saw a group of familiar IDs wailing in the comments area. He deliberately cut off the plot node where the protagonist saved the female protagonist in the book to arouse the anticipation of these readers. Only then would they comment crazily and help the cash up. As expected, he had obtained the connate cultivation technique Heavenly Dao Record! Lin Bai sensed himself and realized that a certain part of his lower abdomen seemed to be brewing something warm like airflow again. If nothing went wrong, this was his internal power. Lin Bai tried to guide it with his understanding. It was easy to control, just as expected. This internal power went wherever he wanted it to go. It was as if it had fused with his consciousness. ¡°Why are you so obedient?¡± Lin Bai was a little surprised, but he quickly understood. The Heavenly Dao Record was a cultivation technique created according to his thoughts. After materialization, it was naturally related to his logic. Even the parts that were not written in the book could basically be reflected as long as they conformed to the world logic in that novel. He did a few tests. His internal power turned into an invisible protective energy. Success! This could be used to resist attacks, and the area covered was very considerable. It was very suitable for a group attack. However, he quickly realized the drawback. It consumed a lot of energy and was not too resilient. It was not recommended to use it if he had too little internal power reserves and was attacked by sharp weapons. Then, he attached his internal power to his arm to increase his strength. Success! It was originally difficult for him to carry 20 to 30 catties of things, but he easily lifted the sofa that weighed more than 100 catties, as though he had transformed into a Hercules. He attached the internal power attached to his feet and tried to fly. Failure! It seemed that this did not conform to the logic of the martial arts world. It could not be done. He released it to the surroundings and tried to attract small items into his hand. Failure! The reason was unknown and he could not figure it out. Lin Bai gained a lot after experimenting. In the end, he discovered two general scopes of his internal powers. Strengthening one¡¯s physique and increasing the power of martial techniques! They were all good functions that could increase his strength. ¡°I can be considered to have a little life-saving ability¡­ Eh? What is this?¡± Lin Bai suddenly saw a special notification icon backstage. A new interface appeared when he opened it. [You have received a gift. Do you want to cash up?] There was definitely something he wanted! Lin Bai chose yes. Then, he received a delivery order, however, there was no label for the content of the delivery. The sender was unknown, the location was unknown, and even the item was unknown. It was filled with mystery. ¡°What did he gift me¡­ Wait, gifts can be cash upped indefinitely, right?¡± Lin Bai was stunned for a moment before he turned jubilant. He immediately went to the end of the chapter from the previous book that ranked first on the New Book Recommendation and pasted a link to the new book. This way, those readers who were still not satisfied after reading the previous book would come to read the new books. It was equivalent to leading them, allowing his new book to also receive the dividends of an old book¡¯s recommendation slot. Lin Bai felt that he had a higher possibility of obtaining gifts if more people read it. This was a benefit other than cash up. It had a function that could continuously produce benefits. He would of course not let it go. At this moment, a short notification popped up. [Ding! Your new book, Heavenly Dao Record, has obtained an E-Tier rating. This record has been uploaded to your author career! (As your author level is F-tier, your average work rating will be F-tier.)] [Congratulations on successfully accumulating two F-Tier works. Your author title has been upgraded to E-tier. Please continue to work hard!] Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Upgraded! This was a small surprise. Lin Bai didn¡¯t expect that his second book to have passed the grading standard before it was completed, and even far exceeding F-tier. It¡¯s a pity that the author¡¯s level limited this rating record. Otherwise, if this ¡°Heavenly Dao Record¡± was given a D-Tier rating, he will be able to write one less book when he becomes a D-Tier author in the future. ¡°Nevermind, the most important thing now is to pass the admissions assessment of Saint Lijoann Martial Arts Academy.¡± Lin Bai checked the information on the Internet. The assessment period lasts for a week, and the doors open at eight o¡¯clock every day. It¡¯s still early. Therefore he went back to sleep. That was the good thing about writing novels. He had control over the working time, leisure and ease¡­ It was just a bit brain-intensive! A few hours passed in the blink of an eye. The sun rose, and Lin Bai woke up basking in the warm sunshine. He subconsciously picked up his phone and glanced at it while rubbing his eyes. At 8:45am, there was an unread text message. ¡°A delivery?¡± Lin Bai was stunned for a moment after reading it, and then realized that it was the gift he received in the early morning. Astonishing efficiency! It seems that Myriad World Novel Network was not only the top in the industry in terms of readership, they were probably also involved in express delivery. Let¡¯s see what it is! This was the first time Lin Bai received an actual gift as an author, no matter whether it was before or after he transmigrated. He would be lying if he said he wasn¡¯t excited. There was no need to mention how proud he was being recognized by the readers this way! Lin Bai simply put on a shirt, took his keys and hurried out to the receiving station without even washing up. As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw a few police cars parked at the entrance of a unit building not far away, and the isolation tape was up, and a group of people gathered beside them, arguing a lot. Out of curiosity, Lin Bai slowed down as he passed by and listened carefully for a while. He frowned after a few seconds. Someone died. Just last night, in the early hours of the morning, the Origin Beast invaded and a family of five people was slaughtered. From the eighty-year-old man down to the toddler children, none of them survived. The state of their corpses were scary, scattered into pieces. The neighbors reported to the police when they smelled blood as they left the house. Lin Bai silently looked up, and saw that there was a unit with windows open in a building with more than ten floors, and there were very serious signs of damage on the outer contour. He didn¡¯t know if the family didn¡¯t lock the window properly and allowed the Origin Beasts the opportunity to enter, or if the window was in disrepair for a long time and the quality was not good enough, it was violently broken open by the Origin Beasts. Lin Bai thought of the noise he heard in the early morning, and couldn¡¯t help feeling a chill in his heart. The rental house was not safe, he mustn¡¯t continue staying in it! Today, he must pass the assessment by the school today! He had to move there! Lin Bai quickened his steps and brought the delivery back home with a heavy heart. He tore it open and saw two items inside. One piece of paper and a simple wooden box. Lin Bai read the words on the paper. ¡°Body Forging Pills, an E-tier high-quality elixir. It can improve the physical foundation of the user, temper the muscles and bones, cleanse the essence and the marrow, and have special benefits for those who practice basic martial arts such as inner breath, inner strength, internal power, and qigong.¡± After reading this, Lin Bai couldn¡¯t help opening the wooden box, squeezed the small black pill wrapped in transparent wrapping paper, and murmured suspiciously: ¡°Is this thing so good?¡± It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t believe that there were such good things in this world, he just doesn¡¯t believe that readers will give him such a good treasure! It was probably to trick him! Yes! That must be it! When Lin Bai thought of the faces of those people in the comment area who wanted to put a knife on his neck to type and post a new manuscript, he felt that this little pill in his hand was definitely not a good thing. He would know if he compared it online! After a few minutes¡­ ¡°It can¡¯t be¡­ Is this real?¡± Lin Bai was dumbfounded. Body Forging Pills were expensive, but they were not very rare. There are many tutorials and instructions on the Internet to help distinguish the authenticity from the fake. After a simple test, he was surprised to find that the Body Forging Pill in front of him was worth 30,000 martial arts coins and was actually a genuine product. Which wealthy reader is this, so generous! ! ! Tears swelled up Lin Bai¡¯s eyes, 30,000 martial arts coins¡­ Even if you save for more than half a year without eating or drinking, you may not be able to save up this amount for a long time according to the average salary of ordinary people in this world. He didn¡¯t expect to obtain it with the new book in just one night! ¡°Why do I feel that gifts are the main income of the work? Thirty thousand yuan at a time, so exciting, writing a new book is like fighting a BOSS, maybe it will explode when¡­¡± Lin Bai thought wildly, and swallowed the Body Forging Pills in one gulp. The pills melt in the mouth. It tasted bitter and astringent and it wasn¡¯t tasty Lin Bai pouted his mouth, feeling the movement inside his body. A few seconds later¡­ A warm current exploded from the lower abdomen and merged into his limbs. The tingling sensation hitting his whole body, bringing a strange feeling. It was neither comfortable nor uncomfortable, but kind of weird and indescribable. However, Lin Bai could really feel that his physique was getting stronger little by little. He used to feel his back stiff and sore when he swung his arms, but now he felt extremely light. There is no dull pain in the spine when bending over, which is the result of the improvement from his occupational diseases. It felt even more real than the internal power pouring into the body! ¡°As expected of a pill worth 30,000 yuan, isn¡¯t it easy to pass the entrance examination now?¡± Ordinary people could only use this medicine to strengthen their bodies, but it is different for awakened people with special abilities. Lin Bai sat down with peace of mind, closed his eyes, and mobilized the internal power in his body to match the diffusion of the medicine. ¡­ Lin Bai appeared at the gate of St. Lijoann Martial Arts Academy an hour later. There were still a lot of people here with an endless stream of tryouts, even though it is nearing the end of the admissions assessment. Lin Bai changed into clean clothes, strode into the courtyard gate, his whole body overflowed with an unspeakable confidence as he held his gaze steady. Passers-by came and went, and they all more or less stole a glance at him. They felt that this young man was tall and straight, with an extraordinary appearance, um¡­ his girlfriend must be very beautiful! Several girls had such worries in their hearts, their eyes stayed on Lin Bai, their eyes hesitated, and after comparing the difference in appearance between them, they did not take any action to strike up a conversation in the end. ¡°It looks like I¡¯m very charming now.¡± After Lin Bai¡¯s physique has been strengthened, his perception has also improved a lot. Even though he was in a crowd, he could still accurately detect the prying eyes of others within a range of tens of meters. This was a good ability, a bit similar to the spider sense, even though not that strong, but better than nothing. ¡°Huo Bocheng, Vitality Value is average, not up to the standard, the next one!¡± He heard someone being eliminated just as he reached the assessment area. The reality was really cruel. Lin Bai could only express his sympathy, and silently stood at the end of the queue. Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The waiting time was a little boring. There were no techniques or shortcuts in this kind of recruitment test. One could only rely on one¡¯s talent to fight for it. He believed that with the enhancement of the Heavenly Dao Record and the Body Forging Pills¡­ Especially the Heavenly Dao Record, the settings of this cultivation technique were really too buggy. No matter what the person who cultivated it was doing, his internal power would naturally increase. Even when he was sleeping, his strength continued to increase! Lin Bai had already accumulated internal power for half a day. It was enough to deal with the test. There was no need to make any preparations. If he still couldn¡¯t pass, it could only mean that Lijoann¡¯s threshold was too high and he wasn¡¯t worthy of joining. ¡­ What a joke. If the Heavenly Dao Record could be sold, it would be worth at least hundreds of thousands. Which martial arts academy wouldn¡¯t be able to open the door to such a huge investment? Therefore, he played with his phone in boredom and scrolled through short videos. Only when he saw the big-breasted girl would his indifferent expression change a little and incentivise him to extend his finger to give her a like. After waiting for a long time, it was finally his turn. ¡°After the device is turned off, the internal gravity and pressure will gradually increase as time passes. The stronger the Vitality, the longer it can last. You¡¯ll pass if you can last twenty seconds.¡± The examiner had been recording on the computer and did not even raise his head. ¡°If you feel unwell, stop immediately. Don¡¯t force yourself. If you¡¯re not careful, the damage to your body will be irreversible.¡± Lin Bai nodded and took a deep breath. After registering his name with the counselor beside him, he followed the instructions and walked into the device. The door closed. The examiner pressed the start button and began to count down to the first countdown. 10 seconds! That was the result of most of those taking the test. Looking at the thin and weak figure of the young man just now, he might not even be able to last five seconds, right? Five seconds had passed in the blink of an eye, but the device did not stop spinning. The examiner glanced behind him. After confirming that the tester¡¯s vital signs were stable, he continued to count silently. Hm¡­ It had been ten seconds. Not bad. It seems that I have underestimated him. Countdown to the second round. The examiner¡¯s expression was calm, but a corner of his eyebrows had already been raised, and there was a surprised expression on his face. ¡°He actually lasted for 20 seconds. Not bad, there¡¯s finally a second student who passed today.¡± The third round of countdown ended in the blink of an eye. The examiner was slightly stunned. Half a minute would already surpass most of the students who had passed the Vitality test this year. Could it be that¡­ this kid was hiding something? He finally took it seriously and stared at all the real-time changes on the computer interface. ¡°There are no calluses on his hands and no muscles on his body. He definitely hasn¡¯t practiced martial arts¡­ He shouldn¡¯t have lasted so long.¡± Ten seconds later, in the high-pressure environment inside the device, it was very difficult for ordinary people to even breathe, let alone hold on. Moreover, the pressure would continue to increase over time. Even a new Apprentice-level Awakened would not be able to last for 45 seconds! The examiner looked at the fifty seconds that had passed and then at Lin Bai¡¯s slightly fluctuating life value. His heart surged like a tsunami. To be able to persevere for so long without cultivating, one either had extraordinary potential or had awakened their abilities during the test. They relied on the power of breaking through realms to persevere for so long. However, judging from the various statistics on the screen that did not change so much, Lin Bai should belong to the former. This was incredible. He could compare to Apprentice-level Awakened just by relying on his potential without cultivation. What would happen if he cultivated in the future? The examiner found it hard to imagine. However, regardless of the situation, Lin Bai had the qualifications to join Saint Lijoann. It was meaningful to continue testing. The examiner interrupted the test in order to avoid injuring the student¡¯s body. ¡°Open the door.¡± The counselor moved quickly. Light surged in and they saw Lin Bai sitting cross-legged. His head was tilted¡­ He was actually dozing off! The examiner¡¯s lips twitched. He went forward and patted his shoulder. ¡°Um, Student Lin, Student Lin?¡± Lin Bai only reacted after calling out twice. ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Bai came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Teacher. This apparatus¡¯ massage is comfortable. I accidentally fell asleep.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The examiner felt that it was even more ridiculous. You actually felt like you were having a massage under such a huge pressure? This machine isn¡¯t broken, right? There were still many students waiting outside for the test. He did not waste any time and said bluntly, ¡°You¡¯ve passed the test. Saint Lijoann Academy is under closed management. Once you enter the school, you won¡¯t be able to go out for the time being. Sleep on it. If there¡¯s no problem, take this badge and report to the academy the day after tomorrow.¡± ¡°Thank you, Teacher.¡± Lin Bai took it and kept it close to his body. This was his future safety barrier. He could not lose it. The examiner didn¡¯t chat much with him. After walking out of the apparatus, he continued with his work. Lin Bai looked at the time. It was still early. He could go back and catch up on some sleep. He would take advantage of the two days of free time to write more drafts for his new book and pack his luggage. After moving to the academy, he would not have to worry about being ambushed by Origin Beasts while sleeping. As for the problem of not being able to go out¡­ The interior of the academy was very large and had all kinds of lifestyle infrastructure. He could just take care of this place. As an otaku author, why would he go out? ¡­ Two days was not a long time. However, for Lin Bai, who had seen the dangers of this world, it was a little torturous. He did not think that he was invincible with the Heavenly Dao Record. Judging by his realm level, he had not written a book with an E-Tier ability even though he was an E-Tier author. He definitely could not reach E-Tier in reality. He could be considered a F-Tier Apprentice Awakened newbie at most! Such power was far from enough to deal with the Origin Beasts. Fortunately, the days of fear were finally coming to an end. He would be able to join the school and become a member of the ivory tower, enjoying the protection of an Awakened big shot soon. He could relax and be a salted fish. He would eat and live his life everyday. He would write books and flirt with girls. How wonderful was this leisurely life! Just thinking about it made him look forward to it! Hence, on the third day of the sunrise, Lin Bai did not sleep in bed. He carried many bags and rented a car with half of his savings. He asked the driver to send him to St. Lijoann Academy. When they arrived at their destination, the instructor was already waiting at the door. There were three boys beside him. One was tall, strong, and honest-looking. The other two looked similar and seemed to be twins. They smiled at everyone they saw. They all seemed easy to get along with. ¡°Alright, the fourth student is here. You¡¯ll be staying in Dorm 3609. Move your luggage over first. Bring your identification documents to the Education Bureau to report before five in the afternoon and receive the military training instructions, is everyone okay?¡± The boys nodded one after another. Lin Bai retracted his sizing gaze and nodded in response. School life was just around the corner. He wondered if he could meet a beautiful, kind, and rich senior by chance and create sparks of love with her. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The St. Lijoann Academy was huge, it would take more than 10 minutes to travel from the dormitory to the courtyard. Not only did one have to pass through a natural forest, one would also have to walk half a round around the huge lake. The four boys carried their respective luggages and got to know each other throughout their journey. They were all young people, and there was no age barrier in communication. The man with a strong body was called Wei Qing. He was in his early twenties, despite him being tall and burly, he was actually an introvert who spoke in a quiet voice. Lin Bai stood beside him, unable to get a conversation going. On the contrary, the other two roommates were very outgoing. They were twins, just as he expected. The elder brother was Li Tongwen, and the younger brother was Li Tongwu. Their names represented their parents¡¯ wishes for them: one well-versed in intellect the other in martial arts[1.¡±Wen¡± meant anything to do with literacy while ¡®Wu¡¯ represented martial arts.]. It¡¯s a pity that things backfired. They noticed that the elder brother was mediocre and preferred to practice martial arts, while the younger brother was extremely talented but loved to read. Especially webnovels. ¡°Wei Qing, what hobbies do you have?¡± Li Tongwu grinned, ¡°Perhaps you¡¯re like my brother, who likes to exercise seeing that you are in such good shape?¡± ¡°No¡­ That¡¯s not¡­¡± Wei Qing hadn¡¯t yet integrated into the group, stammered and explained quietly, ¡°I just¡­ I was very fat at first, but after practicing a set of boxing techniques, I lost weight¡­¡± ¡°Not bad, practicing martial arts and body sculpting, you¡¯ve probably perfected your boxing technique?¡± Li Tongwu¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°There¡¯s actually an Awakened beside me!?¡± Awakening was not something that can be achieved overnight. Talented people need to go through a long period of training before they can reach the most obvious state of apprenticeship. The most obvious feature was the change of posture. Fat people would become bulky, while thin people would be in shape. Li Tongwen also showed a surprised expression, and then praised: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that there would be an Awakened Boss in our dormitory. It seems that I will learn a lot from you, Old Wei.¡± ¡°No¡­ no¡­ It¡¯s not to that extent¡­¡± Wei Qing¡¯s cheeks flushed from the praise, and he began to stammer. ¡°Good Lord, Old Wei is shy!¡± Li Tongwu laughed, and turned to look at Lin Bai, ¡°Lin Bai, what about you? What do you usually like to do?¡± ¡°Me?¡± While Lin Bai was also relatively introverted, he was not as socially fearful as Wei Qing. At least he did not stutter when speaking and could chat casually: ¡°I usually write novels when I have nothing to do, and when I am tired, I watch short videos such as hot dances to pass time.¡± ¡°Yo, you write novels too?¡± Li Tongwu raised his brows, ¡°Has it been published? Or is it still for fun? I wrote a book before, but it took me 10 days for two people to add my novel to their Library.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this for first timers.¡± Lin Bai didn¡¯t intend to show off. ¡°A novel is easy to read, but difficult to write. The data for my first book is also very poor.¡± He wasn¡¯t lying, he was referring to the first book he wrote on Earth. ¡°Indeed, I felt that those authors¡¯ writing were very ordinary when I was reading the novels, but I didn¡¯t even know how to write the first sentence at the beginning when it was my turn to write.¡± Li Tongwu has a deep understanding, and nodded empathetically, ¡°However, I recently came across a work written by a very powerful author. The data exploded, and he became a God with one book. I don¡¯t know if you have read it.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the title?¡± Lin Bai had a faint premonition in his heart. You are not talking about me, are you? ¡°The girl beside the sycamore tree!¡± Li Tongwu looked around and after confirming that there was no one else, a wretched smile appeared on his face and announced the name of the novel. ¡°This book is¡­ ouch! Big Brother, why are you kicking me!¡± Li Tongwen glared at him, did not speak, and winked desperately. ¡°Oh, we¡¯re all adults now, and this book is not something that cannot be read, what¡¯s wrong with sharing good things with good brothers!¡± Li Tongwu took out his mobile phone, logged on to Myriad World Novel Network with a face of indifference and searched for Lin Bai¡¯s debut novel. The content skipped to the plot of the hero and heroine engaging in the R18 part, and then leaned over with an arm around Lin Bai¡¯s shoulder after flipping for a while. ¡°Look, look, how vivid this description is, which man won¡¯t be mesmerized after reading it?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The corner of Lin Bai¡¯s mouth twitched. For some reason, he felt an indescribable sense of shame when looking at his work in front of others. F*ck! How could he have written such a plot! ¡°Come, come, Wei Qing, take a look too.¡± Li Tongwu stretched out his arms, insisting that all the good brothers in the dormitory read this novel. ¡°¡­¡± Wei Qing just glanced at it briefly, then looked away blushing. ¡°So¡­¡± Lin Bai coughed lightly, and began to change the subject, ¡°I¡¯ve read this book, and it¡¯s really good, but the author seems to have published a new book, which has better data than this book.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Li Tongwu scratched his head, retracted his hand to operate the phone, ¡°I have been busy with the entrance examination these two days, so I haven¡¯t paid much attention to it¡­ Hey, there really is one, Heavenly Dao Record¡­ The naming is a bit domineering¡­¡± ¡°That author has a new book?¡± Li Tongwen also came over to take a look. After seeing the introduction, his eyes lit up immediately. Prove your way of life with martial arts and break through the sky with your strength! What a domineering protagonist! He liked it! Of course Li Tongwen, who was keen on martial arts, would not miss such a book, so he followed in the footsteps of his younger brother and took out his mobile phone to immerse himself in the world of ¡°Heavenly Dao Record¡±. Wei Qing sneaked a glance at them. He had always wanted to blend into the crowd, but he couldn¡¯t find the right words to insert himself into the crowd because of his clumsy mouth. After thinking about it, he simply took out his phone and read it together. He was also deeply attracted by the content after reading it. Moreover, he read it throughout the whole journey. The original 10 minutes journey was abruptly prolonged by the two of them more than several times. When they arrived at the dormitory, the two brothers and Wei Qing still couldn¡¯t put down their phones, and they didn¡¯t even plan to pack their luggage. Lin Bai sized up the dormitory environment alone. It was not considered to be big, the four beds and the computer desk below take up nearly one-third of the space. However, it was not too small either. It was equipped with a separate bathroom and balcony, and there was also a washing machine. There are no major problems for daily life other than being unable to cook. So he picked a bed by the balcony and started packing his luggage. The bed has to be made, the clothes have to be hung up, and the computer has to be installed¡­ Today¡¯s manuscript hasn¡¯t been sent yet. There were a lot of cumbersome things to do, and it was too late for lunch, so he didn¡¯t deal with these miscellaneous things until the afternoon. ¡°D*mmit! Why are there no more new chapters!!!¡± Li Tongwu¡¯s shout suddenly sounded from a corner of the dormitory. He looked confused, ¡°What happened after the male lead saved the female lead? What did he do? Is there any sexual plot!¡± Brother Li Tongwen also had a constipated expression, ¡°It feels different from the last R18 porn. The writing style has changed a lot. This book focuses on martial arts, not love.¡± Wei Qing let out a long breath, and he, who had always shown others with a smile, was also a little depressed at the moment. He had yet to have enough of it! So irritating! ¡°It¡¯s annoying, aiyo.¡± Li Tongwu gritted his teeth, ¡°Where did the author learn such a mode of operation? He doesn¡¯t send out the writing at once, but insists on releasing completed chapters first. I¡¯m really convinced.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really annoying.¡± Li Tongwen took a deep breath, ¡°This book is much better. Maybe the author put a lot of effort into writing it and has yet to conceive the following plot, so we can only wait.¡± Li Tongwu wanted to cry. ¡°When will I have to wait until¡­ I feel like there are ants crawling all over my body.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we give a gift and try to motivate the author?¡± ¡°Big Brother, do you have any money?¡± ¡°¡­I haven¡¯t paid the dormitory fee yet, so don¡¯t even think about getting it from me.¡± Both pairs of eyes moved to Lin Bai at the same time. ¡°???¡± Lin Bai looked confused. You can¡¯t be serious. Borrowing money from me to give me a reward? Impossible¡­ Right? Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous. We¡¯re just joking. There are many places to spend money in the academy. We can¡¯t spend it like this.¡± The two brothers laughed at the same time, but from their thoughtful eyes, it seemed that they had not completely given up on the idea of tipping. However, their conversation woke him up. Lin Bai suddenly thought of a serious question. Studying at the Lijoann Martial Arts Academy was not free. Food, accommodation, exercise, courses, books, school fees, everything costs money! As for his savings¡­ Lin Bai took a look. It didn¡¯t seem like it could last long. ¡°The Myriad World Novel Network can¡¯t earn me money.¡± He was troubled. His only specialty could not bring him any monetary gains. What should he do? How about¡­ publishing a physical book? Lin Bai turned on his computer and checked the relevant information. At this moment, Li Tongwu, who was passing by with his luggage, noticed this and his eyes widened. ¡°What the f*ck? Old Lin, are you publishing a novel?¡± He immediately leaned over as if he had discovered a new continent. ¡°What¡¯s your pen name? Come, come, come. I¡¯ll admire your work first.¡± Lin Bai¡¯s hand that was moving the mouse was a little stiff. ¡°I¡¯m just strolling around.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a look. Don¡¯t be so nervous.¡± Li Tongwu grinned, snatched the mouse from his hand, and operated it on the computer. A few seconds later, he found the software that Lin Bai usually used to write. He clicked on it and the cover and name of the two books came into view. The girl beside the sycamore tree! Heavenly Dao Record! ¡°Bam!¡± Li Tongwu¡¯s legs went weak and he fell to the ground in shock. ¡°What are you doing, brother? Don¡¯t tell me you found ¡®learning materials¡¯ in Old Lin¡¯s hard drive?¡± Li Tongwen approached with confusion. He took a look and was stunned. ¡°You¡¯re the author!?¡± The two brothers spoke in unison. ¡°Ah, yes.¡± Lin Bai could only admit it seeing that he could not hide it anymore. ¡°F*ck!!! Hahahahaha, f*ck! It¡¯s really amazing!!!¡± Li Tongwu shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the other students in the corridor. What¡¯s going on with Dorm 3609? Li Tongwen was also excited. He hugged Lin Bai¡¯s shoulder and trembled crazily. ¡°Awesome, Old Lin!! So you¡¯re the real big shot! The Heavenly Dao Record! With this cash up, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be a problem to reach the Martial Artist Realm, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that exaggerated.¡± Lin Bai smiled humbly. ¡°I only have internal power now. I¡¯m no different from a sword that can¡¯t be unsheathed without a cultivation technique. No matter how sharp the blade is, it can¡¯t hurt anyone. I can only protect myself.¡± ¡°That¡¯s still strong!¡± Li Tongwu took a deep breath. ¡°Big Brother! From now on, you¡¯re my biological big brother! I¡¯ll buy food, wash clothes, make the bed, fold the blanket, serve tea, and pour water. Big Brother, what do you think?¡± ¡°Younger Brother, you¡¯ve gone too far!¡± Li Tongwen glared at him. ¡°If you did everything, what would I do?!¡± ¡°¡­ Can you two act normally? I¡¯m scared now.¡± ¡°People of the same gender only help others and not ask for help. They¡¯re either sissies or gays!¡± Lin Bai joked. ¡°Ahahaha.¡± Li Tongwu rubbed his hands. ¡°Well¡­ Brother Lin, I just wanted to¡­ Hehe, look at the unreleased manuscript in advance.¡± As he spoke, he paused for a moment. His expression was twisted as he repeatedly arched his back. ¡°I really feel uncomfortable if I don¡¯t read it for a day. Please, Big Brother!¡± Lin Bai pinched his chin. ¡°There¡¯s a high risk of the manuscript being leaked.¡± Li Tongwu immediately raised his hands and promised, ¡°I¡¯ll definitely read it alone! If I let others¡­¡± His elder brother, Li Tongwen, looked over with a strange gaze. Li Tongwu¡¯s tone immediately changed. ¡°If anyone outside of our dormitory sees this, my penis will be shortened by ten inches!¡± What a vicious oath! Lin Bai wanted to applaud him. A real man should learn from Li Tongwu! If any man had such determination when they were sweet-talking their girlfriends, they would probably not be able to find a heartless man in the world! What Is there to say? Just give in. They were all good brothers in the same dormitory. In the future, they would see each other often. It was impossible to hide this piece of manuscript. Hence, Lin Bai pulled up a dormitory group chat in his phone software, exported the saved manuscript, and posted it. Li Tongwu was so excited that he almost cried. He hugged his phone with a satisfied expression. Seconds later, he energetically asked, ¡°Big Brother Lin! Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll get it for you right away!¡± Lin Bai waved his hand and said, ¡°No need, no need. I¡¯ll eat something in the canteen later.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do!!¡± Li Tongwu said abnormally seriously, ¡°Big Brother, Wei Qing and I can help you buy food! It doesn¡¯t take much effort. Brother Lin, your time is precious. Save it and write more books. How good is that?!¡± Lin Bai smiled. ¡°So you¡¯re waiting for me. Alright, help me bring some. It¡¯s best if you get some soup.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Li Tongwu was overjoyed and ran out of the dormitory to buy food. ¡°Big Brother Lin, I¡¯m going to buy some cold drinks and fruits!¡± Li Tongwen volunteered. It was a summer afternoon. Coincidentally, the heat was unbearable. Writing required a most tranquil and comfortable environment. If his mentality was affected by the hot environment, how could he write a book! ¡°Should I¡­ buy a fan?¡± Wei Qing had been holding it in for a long time and only thought of this method of ¡®contribution value¡¯. Li Tongwen immediately looked at him in admiration. ¡°We do need one. There¡¯s no air conditioning in the dormitory. It¡¯s too late to install it now. Let¡¯s make do with it first. We can¡¯t let Brother Lin bathe in his own sweat.¡± Wei Qing nodded heavily and left firmly. In a few seconds, he returned with a red face. ¡°¡­I forgot my wallet.¡± The burly man¡¯s honest and red face looked a little cute. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you!¡± Li Tongwen laughed. ¡°Brother Lin, watch carefully. We will definitely take good care of you today!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Bai¡¯s smiling expression froze. Why did these words sound strange? However, Li Tongwen clearly did not notice this and left with Wei Qing. An hour later. The three roommates returned one after another. Looking at the various dishes on the table, Lin Bai felt even more exaggerated. ¡°I can¡¯t eat six dishes and a soup at a meal, can I?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. Brother Lin, you can eat first. We¡¯ll finish the rest of it.¡± Li Tongwu personally handed over bowls, chopsticks, and rice. ¡°The main thing is to ensure that Brother Lin has sufficient nutrition and eats comfortably. Only then will your thoughts be smooth when writing novels.¡± Lin Bai turned his gaze and looked at Wei Qing and Li Tongwen, who were carrying a small fridge and fan. The muscles on his face trembled slightly. ¡°I suspect that I¡¯ll be spoiled by you lot after living in the dormitory for two months.¡± This is all too exaggerated! He came to the Martial Arts Academy to cultivate! Why did it seem like he was on vacation!! Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The four of them followed the instructions of the instructor and went to the office to report and pay the fees after the meal. They had also received military training instructions. The closed-off martial arts academy naturally had military training. The content of the military training was not complicated. It was to gather all the new students and divide them into teams to train and compete in a militarized manner. They would use this opportunity to select the most talented students and nurture them. At the same time, he could also sharpen the minds of the new students and strengthen their sense of belonging to Lijoann. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t you have to perform well?¡± Li Tongwen glanced at Li Tongwu after he finished reading the military training manual. ¡°You¡¯re so talented. Even if you don¡¯t get first or second place in military training, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to get into the top ten, right?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Li Tongwu, who had just bought iced coke for Lin Bai, was dumbfounded. ¡°Brother, are you joking? There must be a lot of strong people in the academy. Within our dorm itself, Brother Lin and Old Wei can beat me up!¡± ¡°How do you have the cheek to say that! It¡¯s all because you didn¡¯t work hard!¡± Li Tongwen expected better from him. He couldn¡¯t wait to spend 24¡­ No, 22 hours a day immersed in training and leave two hours for him to read novels. However, his younger brother, Li Tongwu, was different. He had talent that was several times more outstanding than his. He slacked off every day and either read novels or looked at beauties. He was so dispirited. However, Li Tongwu had an indifferent expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? We can enter the academy now. The results of the military training will only affect how much resources we can obtain in the future. It¡¯s nothing¡­ Old Wei, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Wei Qing smiled honestly when he faced Li Tongwu, who was seeking approval. ¡°Just do your best. There¡¯s no need to force yourself.¡± Li Tongwu immediately revealed an expression that said, ¡°You know me.¡± Then, he looked at Lin Bai and grinned. ¡°Brother Lin, what do you think?¡± ¡°Me¡­¡± Lin Bai shrugged. ¡°I just want to write. I don¡¯t want to undergo military training.¡± It was sweltering outside now with more than 30 degrees in the morning! The mercury would hit more than 40 degrees at noon. It would be like a sauna without any water vapor. One would have to struggle to go out, let alone train under the sun. Simply torture! There was no need for him to suffer! Moreover, what if he obtained a good ranking? The resources of the martial arts academy were not very tempting to him. If he had the time, he might as well write a few more novels and cash up. This was the most practical thing! Except¡­ Lin Bai sighed softly. ¡°Unfortunately, the academy requires everyone to participate. I shouldn¡¯t be able to escape.¡± Li Tongwen thought about it and said, ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean we have nothing to read?¡± ¡°What should we do?¡± Wei Qing frowned. ¡°Brother Lin¡¯s book¡­ is good. Don¡¯t stop updating¡­¡± ¡°Aiyo, I¡¯m good at this!¡± Upon hearing this, Li Tongwu instantly became excited. ¡°Brother Lin, don¡¯t worry and write boldly! I¡¯ll help you think of a way!¡± ¡°Do you think it can work?¡± Lin Bai looked at him suspiciously. ¡°Of course!¡± Li Tongwu patted his chest. ¡°I¡¯ve never been caught skipping class. Leave it to me!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Bai could not help but give him a thumbs up. ¡­ The next day, the sun was shining brightly. When the military training began, the instructors were very strict. After the teams were divided, before the roll call even began, everyone was asked to run laps around the field. The small target of 5,000 meters drew a chorus of wails. Halfway through, many girls changed from running to walking. It was normal for women to have weak physical fitness. However, a few lazy boys were also among them. They looked like they couldn¡¯t stand it. Their expressions were exaggerated and slightly pretentious. The instructor saw this and was expressionless. The physical fitness test was the fastest and most convenient way to check if the students had martial arts foundations. He wouldn¡¯t blame them for not being able to finish running. To be able to pass the recruitment test meant that the students standing here all had the qualifications to become Awakened. As long as he taught them carefully, there would be a day when they would be successful. However, it was a matter of attitude if they did not want to finish running. Do they think that he, the instructor, does not exist? This kind of behavior must be severely punished! Hence, those who deliberately pretended to be weak and wanted to avoid running laps were all pulled out one by one. They were happy to receive the reward of two times the number of laps. When the other students finished running and rested, they were still sweating on the field. They had nowhere to cry. When the three people from Dorm 3609 saw this scene, they all muttered. ¡°This instructor doesn¡¯t seem easy to fool¡­¡± Li Tongwen hesitated for a moment. ¡°Should we ask Brother Lin to come back?¡± His younger brother, Li Tongwu, was sitting at the side, panting. He shook his head and said, ¡°With this instructor¡¯s personality, where he wants us to run five laps without saying anything. We¡¯ll lose a layer of skin even if we don¡¯t lose a piece of meat today. If Brother Lin suffers like this, how will he have the strength to write books when he goes back?¡± ¡°But if he¡¯s discovered, Brother Lin will suffer twice as much,¡± Wei Qing added in a low voice. ¡°Let¡¯s take it one step at a time.¡± Li Tongwu said firmly, ¡°If there¡¯s really no other way, Old Wei, tell the instructor that I¡¯m pranking Brother Lin. Tell him that I told him only to participate in the military training tomorrow and punish me.¡± ¡°Let me do it.¡± Li Tongwen glanced at his younger brother. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to take it if you run another ten laps.¡± At this moment, the whistle sounded. The instructor took the lead and walked into the sunlight of the field. He faced everyone and raised his hand to signal the entire team to gather. The students immediately wailed. They had just finished running and hadn¡¯t rested for two minutes. Why were they training again?! ¡­ At the same time, in the internet cafe in the business district of the university city outside the field. Lin Bai was enjoying the air conditioner and listening to music. He lay comfortably on the soft sofa and logged into the author¡¯s backend of the Myriad World Novel Network to upload all the chapters of the Heavenly Dao Record that he had finished writing. After a week, the second book finally reached its end. He turned his gaze and saw the mighty team of thousands of people on the field, sweating under the scorching sun. ¡°How tragic.¡± Lin Bai laughed unkindly when he saw this. He took the unfinished ice cream and took a big bite. Thank you, Li Tongwu! As a big brother, I can¡¯t repay you. I can only help you eat a few more mouthfuls of ice cream to cool you down! Suddenly, he noticed that the ¡®message¡¯ icon in the author¡¯s backend had turned red. This meant that there were new notifications. ¡°Huh? Why are there three more notifications?¡± Lin Bai opened it and was shocked. Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios [Your work, ¡®Heavenly Dao Record¡¯, has applied to be completed. After review, the relevant abilities in the book, ¡®Golden Bell Shield Iron Skin Technique¡¯ and ¡®Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist¡¯, have reached the cash up data standard. You can choose to cash up at any time.] This was the first short notice. ¡°Holy sh*t!¡± Lin Bai could no longer sit still. He never expected that his new book would actually help him cash up three abilities at once! This was too heaven-defying! Initially, he thought that a book could only be cashed out once. He did not expect that it could be cashed out infinitely! ¡°Does this mean that as long as my book is written long enough and good enough, it can continuously bring me new abilities?¡± A bold thought appeared in Lin Bai¡¯s mind. Write a long story! Then, he would focus on writing one or two protagonist abilities at every stage. After cash up, he would downplay this ability and write a stronger one! Tsk¡­ This idea appeared for less than five seconds before it was rejected by him. No way! The Myriad World Novel Network had very strict restrictions on themes. Any book had to be written with an ability that was in line with this world. Otherwise, there was no way to cash up. You can¡¯t cultivate in the martial arts world. Don¡¯t even think about getting a single ability! Unless one¡¯s author level reached the threshold to write Xianxia novels, they could directly write this setting as a theme. Dimensional attack on the Invincible Style! ¡°Is this theme interesting in this world?¡± Lin Bai pinched his chin and pondered. The Invincible Style was once popular on Earth. If possible, he could write a variant of it in his next book¡­ This way, he could both cash up and maintain the thrill of this theme. It was killing two birds with one stone. ¡°I don¡¯t care. Let¡¯s look at the new ability first!¡± Lin Bai¡¯s thoughts turned and he placed his attention on the Ten Thousand Worlds Novel Network. He was not in a hurry to write a new book, but he had to quickly familiarize himself with the use of his new ability. [Golden Bell Shield Iron Skin Technique]: The top defensive martial art in the world, the Heavenly Dao Record. The Iron Skin Technique mainly protects the inner body and protects the internal organs. The Golden Bell Shield Technique mainly protects the outer body and blocks external shocks. If a cultivator has internal power, the defense effect will be twice as effective with half the effort. Even though it is not invulnerable to fire and water, it is also invulnerable. [Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist]: The top fist technique of the Heavenly Dao Record. Its attack is ferocious and powerful. Even in front of a ferocious tiger, it can be killed with a single punch. Coupled with the strengthening of internal power, it can even make the roar of a dragon and tiger when it punches, shocking the enemy¡¯s mind! Looking at the introduction of the two abilities in his new book on the Myriad World Novel Network, Lin Bai chuckled and silently chose to cash up. A familiar warm current surged from his abdominal cavity again and circulated throughout his body before returning to nothingness. It was not easy to test them in an internet cafe, but Lin Bai could roughly guess their scope of application. He was the author who created them after all. It was akin to him giving birth to them. Who else would know it if he did not know about it? He continued looking at the short notification. The second was an introduction to the new function. [Congratulations on signing two completed works. You have officially started the dividends mode.] Lin Bai took a closer look and realized that this mode was quite interesting. Generally speaking, after the author¡¯s work was read by the readers who had finished reading the entire text, there was a certain chance that they would also cash up on a poor-quality version. As long as one person succeeded in extracting it, the abilities he possessed would also increase correspondingly. There was no upper limit! This was the dividend model. ¡°Does this mean that as long as the readers cash up more martial arts in the martial arts world, they can also advance to a cultivation technique comparable to Xianxia and fantasy worlds?¡± This function was not bad! There was no need to worry that the cash up technique could not keep up with his realm. If such a situation really happened, at most, he would write a sequel to Heavenly Dao Record or spread the Heavenly Dao Record to the outside world and let the protagonist do a Void Shattering Other World Tour! With the current statistics and popularity of this book, there would definitely be a lot of readers paying the bill. It was something good! ¡°Wait¡­¡± Lin Bai¡¯s expression suddenly froze as he thought of a serious question. In terms of likes and dislikes¡­ The girl beside the sycamore tree¡¯s 18R pornography probably had the ability to attract the attention of many males, right? What if tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of readers cash up¡­ Holy sh*t! Wouldn¡¯t his third leg grow to a level that was thicker than a thigh? No way! It was a good thing to be big, but it would be troublesome if it was too big. Lin Bai did not want his partner¡¯s eyes to be filled with fear the first time he used it. That would be the end. ¡°Lucky that there¡¯s an agreement to stop the dividends at any time.¡± Lin Bai asked the smart customer service. His mood calmed down a lot after receiving such an answer. Then, he looked at the third and last notification. This was a functional hint. [Ding! Respected E-Tier author Lin Bai, you can activate the comic creation function after successfully signing a contract and completing three novels. After this function is activated, you can turn your original works into comics or post new content in the comic section.] Yo! Serialize it as a comic? That¡¯s interesting. To be honest, Lin Bai was looking forward to it. Novels and comics were both output from thoughts, but the carriers were different. Novels allowed the reader to see events and imagine the scenes. Comics, on the other hand, allowed the reader to look at the scenes to imagine the events. The two complemented each other. If he could serialize the novels that he had already finished as a comic¡­ Especially that little erotica, hehehe¡­ Lin Bai could not help but laugh wretchedly. He believed that many readers¡­ including him, were eager to see the contents of that book. There was only one book left. He had to work harder and try to finish it in a week! Lin Bai set a small goal for himself. It was not difficult to complete, thinking about it. Therefore, he looked up at the ceiling and took small bites of the ice cream. He savored the rich taste and flavor of the ice cream. His mind was filled with thoughts as he began to think about the basic settings of the third book. ¡­ At the same time, the scorching sun baked the field that was constantly surging with heat waves. Everyone in Dorm 3609 stood there, sweating profusely. Not far away, the instructor¡¯s serious face was buried under the shade of the tree, his eyes sharp. ¡°He dares to miss training on the first day. I want to see how capable he is!¡± Wei Qing shrunk his neck and shouted softly, ¡°Li Tongwen and his brother said that they wanted to mess with Brother Lin. They lied to Brother Lin and said that military training is tomorrow, so¡­¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a fool?¡± The instructor snorted coldly. ¡°You helped him to answer when I called out his name, and you claim this is a prank on him. Use your brains the next time you want to find excuses for him!¡± The three of them immediately fell silent. The other students stopped their training and watched the commotion under the shade of the tree. Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Not participating in military training was no a big crime, but it was not small either. They would be given a verbal lecture at best if it was a normal middle school. However, it was intolerable for the relatively strict martial arts academy like Lijoann. Skipping class meant disobeying management. This went against the academy¡¯s teaching philosophy, and the consequences immediately became serious. Li Tongwu and the others did not realize this and were caught signing in on behalf of Linbai. It couldn¡¯t be helped. It was too obvious. There were 50 people in a team, and they lined up in five rows. The instructor could tell at a glance that someone was absent. It was useless to help. This directly led to the situation where all the members of Dorm 3609 were pulled to the field to be publicized and died on the spot. In the end, he was still a young man who had never been in society. The three of them were so frightened by the Awakened aura released by the instructor that they couldn¡¯t even speak. The excuses they had thought of in advance vanished from their minds. ¡°Where is he now?¡± The instructor¡¯s expression was unusually serious. Judging from his tone, he seemed to be planning to conduct a strict investigation. The Li twins kept their eyes straight ahead and remained silent. Even though they looked calm on the surface, they were actually panicking inside. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were at a loss. Wei Qing, who was at the side, was already frightened. He, who was already introverted, subconsciously buried his head in his chest, trying to reduce his presence. That kind of reverence towards experts caused his huge body to tremble slightly. Even so, the burly young man still had no intention of opening his mouth. He could not betray his friends! His father had taught him so! ¡°I didn¡¯t expect them to be so loyal.¡± The instructor placed his hands behind his back and said in a serious tone, ¡°Do you know the consequences of covering up for another?¡± As he spoke, he paused for a moment and said, ¡°Hurry up and tell me if you don¡¯t want to cause your good brother to bear four times the punishment. If there¡¯s a reason, perhaps I¡¯ll forgive you once on account that you¡¯ve just entered the academy and don¡¯t know the rules.¡± The three boys looked at each other and exchanged glances, as if they were considering. The instructor was not in a hurry and let them make a choice. ¡°The sooner you confess, the sooner you can resolve it. You can cover it up for now, but you can¡¯t cover it up forever. I can go to dormitory 3609 at any time. He can¡¯t never return to the dormitory, right?¡± Li Tongwu and the others instantly fell silent. Just as the instructor had said, the few of them would not be able to hide it as long as the school wanted to investigate this matter. Half a minute later, Li Tongwu asked tentatively. ¡°Would writing a book¡­ be considered a reason?¡± ¡°Writing a book?¡± The instructor frowned. ¡°What book?¡± ¡°A novel!¡± Li Tongwu took out his phone and flipped to the front page of the novel. He gestured to the instructor. ¡°This is it.¡± The instructor immediately walked over and crossed the heat-filled plastic track to the center of the lawn. He took the phone and glanced at it. Heavenly Dao Record Introduction: Kill all the villains in the world and sweep away all the injustices in the world. Use martial arts to prove the Dao and break the heavens with strength! The instructor, who had never come into contact with novels, fell silent. ¡­ What the f*ck? Li Tongwu smiled awkwardly and explained, ¡°The military training is too tiring. We¡¯re afraid that Brother Lin won¡¯t have the energy to write books after participating¡­ It¡¯s all my fault. Instructor, I really want to read the update chapters, so I came up with such a bad idea. I told Brother Lin not to come. If you want to punish me, punish me.¡± ¡°Human society is in danger, and you guys still have the mood to write novels and read novels? Is your talent for fun? Wasting your time and not doing your job is simply letting down the academy¡¯s nurturing!¡± The instructor was furious. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to cultivate, why spend so much money to come here to further your studies? To treat the academy as your shelter? Can the academy protect you for the rest of your lives?!¡± Li Tongwu looked ashamed. What the instructor said made sense. He was powerless to refute. ¡°All of you, hand over your phones. It won¡¯t be as simple as confiscating your phones if I find you reading during training again.¡± The instructor took a deep breath. He had already treated the actions of the people in Dorm 3609 as a vicious incident. ¡°I¡¯ll report this matter to the principal and ask him to make a final decision!¡± It was understandable if they were just sick or lazy. However, now that there was a problem with their thoughts and principles, he could not tolerate it anymore. He had to deal with it! At the same time, he would sound the alarm for the other new students who had such thoughts! ¡°I-Instructor¡­ But Brother Lin is very powerful¡­ I feel that he wouldn¡¯t improve much after participating in the military training. He might as well write books in peace¡­¡± Seeing that the matter was getting more and more serious, Li Tongwen could only muster his courage and say. ¡°Powerful?¡± The instructor sneered and threw the pointer in his hand angrily. ¡°Bam!¡± The lawn under his feet was instantly sent flying. Dust flew everywhere, revealing a half-meter deep gully. ¡°So powerful that even I can¡¯t teach him anything?¡± The instructor was so angry that he laughed instead. ¡°Go and call him over now! I want to see what kind of ¡®genius¡¯ he is today!¡± Li Tongwen instantly regretted speaking! ¡­ A few minutes later, in the internet cafe¡¯s private room. ¡°Oh no, Brother Lin! The truth has been exposed!¡± Li Tongwu and the other two pushed the door open and entered anxiously. Lin Bai yawned and narrowed his eyes. He could roughly guess what had happened looking at their sweaty and nervous expressions. ¡°Did the instructor realize that I didn¡¯t participate in the military training and asked me to go over immediately?¡± They all nodded. Wei Qing whispered, ¡°The instructor said that he¡¯s going to report this to the principal now and ask the school to deal with this matter, Brother Lin¡­¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯m going to be punished.¡± Li Tongwu looked like he was about to cry. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. Brother Lin, I asked you to skip class to continue writing the novel¡­ Now¡­ Sigh¡­¡± Li Tongwen¡¯s face was full of guilt. ¡°I accidentally caused trouble. Brother Lin, the instructor seems to be planning to teach you a lesson personally¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s just a small problem.¡± Lin Bai was calm and composed. He casually pointed at the empty seat beside him. ¡°Take a seat first. You must be exhausted after training for so long. Let¡¯s enjoy the air conditioner first. If you want to drink, take it yourself. I bought a lot.¡± Li Tongwu and the others felt a little more at ease, seeing how calm he was. ¡°Then¡­ Brother Lin, what do you plan to do?¡± ¡°Nothing much. Let¡¯s sleep first.¡± Lin Bai yawned. ¡°Wake me up in three hours.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Li Tongwu¡¯s facial muscles twitched. ¡°That instructor is very fierce. He said that he wants you to go over now¡­¡± ¡°Did you tell him where I was?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s it.¡± Lin Bai lay completely on the soft sofa. ¡°The academy is so big. It takes an hour or two to stroll around. What¡¯s wrong with us going over later?¡± As he spoke, his voice gradually became low. ¡°I¡¯ll rest first¡­ I¡¯ll go to the field to stand as punishment when the sun isn¡¯t that scorching.¡± The three of them looked at each other. Their publicly acknowledged dormitory brother seemed to have a strange brain circuit¡­ In fact, Lin Bai wanted to use this opportunity to recuperate. When the two newly obtained martial arts merged into his body, they absorbed a lot of internal power. He did not have the capital to compete with the instructor now that he was empty. He was not that honest a person to allow the instructor to deal with him as he pleased. You have to have the ability to be able to teach me a lesson! Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It was noon, break time for the military training on the first day of school for Lijoann. The instructor took advantage of the break to come to the Dean¡¯s office. ¡°Knock knock¡­¡± He knocked on the door politely. ¡°Enter.¡± After getting permission, the instructor pushed the door open and entered. His gaze turned and landed on the figure in a suit standing in front of the huge French window while facing the cool air conditioning. ¡°Dean.¡± He stepped forward and bowed after taking a deep breath. ¡°The first stage of the evaluation of the physical fitness of this batch of new students has been completed. The statistics are out.¡± The Dean turned around unhurriedly, revealing the face of a Westerner upon hearing that. He had a high nose bridge and a perfect chin. He was born with a serious face and did not smile. Coupled with his clothes, he looked very cold and gentlemanly. He looked to be in his thirties and was in his prime. At this moment, he was holding an expensive crystal wine glass in his hand and tasting the red wine elegantly. The instructor maintained his slightly bowed posture. He did not dare to move as he did not hear the instructions. A supreme figure of Saint Lijoann was right in front of him. Even if this dean was not the founder and was only here as a proxy, he had to give him enough respect. After a while, the Dean glanced at the instructor and said calmly, ¡°Read it.¡± The instructor immediately opened the file, cleared his throat, and said loudly, ¡°There are a total of 2,149 new students this year, 817 in the Vitality category, 657 in the Mental category, and 675 in the Elemental category.¡± ¡°During the physical fitness test, a total of 214 people were discovered to have martial arts foundations. They are all early-stage Apprentice-level Awakened. Their exact abilities are unknown.¡± ¡°23 spiritual students and 30 elemental students have outstanding results and might have dual-element talent¡­ More assessment will need to be done later.¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± As he spoke, he paused and asked, ¡°Dean, a student called Lin Bai¡­ skipped class and didn¡¯t participate in the military training. The three of them in the same dormitory covered up for a crime and looked down on the academy. What do you think we should do?¡± The director didn¡¯t even look up. He swirled the wine glass gently and asked casually. ¡°What exactly is the situation? Have you investigated?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen him yet. I heard from the boys in my dormitory that they wanted to read Linbai¡¯s novel so much that they instigated him to skip class. It has nothing to do with him.¡± The instructor answered truthfully. ¡°Writing a novel?¡± The Dean frowned slightly. What¡¯s going on? Coming to the martial arts academy to study literature? Such a strange student? Seeing this, the instructor immediately took out the three phones that had been confiscated. Then, he activated Li Tongwu¡¯s screen that showed the Heavenly Dao Record. ¡°That¡¯s the one.¡± The Dean glanced at it casually. He did not think much of it at first. He only felt that the name of the book, Heavenly Dao Record, was quite pretentious. The introduction was filled with chuunibyou, making people want to laugh. As an Awakened, from the perspective of a ¡°superior¡±, the first half of the idea of ¡°killing all the villains in the world and eliminating all the injustice in the world¡± was very good and righteous, but it was impossible. The latter half of the sentence, ¡°Using martial arts to attain the Dao and using strength to break through the heavens¡± was even more ridiculous. It was purely the imagination of ordinary people who did not know anything about martial arts. What is Dao? How to use martial arts to prove it? What is the Heavens? How powerful is it? What an idiotic work! However, his gaze changed when he saw the tense and exciting hunting plot at the beginning. The martial arts techniques described in this book¡­ were interesting. It actually made him feel like he didn¡¯t quite understand them! Could these martial arts really exist? That¡¯s not right. This was clearly written by a student who had just entered the academy. Where did he get such great ability to create such a huge martial arts system just by imagining it? The Dean continued reading with some curiosity. From the protagonist being saved to the mysterious old monk cultivating martial arts techniques, and then the shocking change that happened, the old monk died tragically and left behind an unknown cultivation technique¡­ He was totally engrossed, unable to look away. His entire being was completely immersed in the world of this novel called the Heavenly Dao Record. The more he read, the more shocked he became. The instructor stood awkwardly at the side for a long time. He finally couldn¡¯t help but disrupt him seeing that it was almost lunchtime. ¡°Dean?¡± ¡°Hmm? Hmm¡­¡± The Dean came back to his senses and let out a long sigh. His furrowed brows gradually relaxed because he was too focused. He looked up at the instructor with a puzzled expression. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± The instructor was speechless. I¡¯m waiting for you to tell me the outcome, duh? Unexpectedly, he saw the Dean waving his hand impatiently before he could say anything. ¡°Go and eat first. Don¡¯t disturb me if there is nothing important today.¡± Then the elegant young man faced the small room opposite and shouted very crudely, ¡°Secretary Guan, help me register an account on the Myriad World Novel Network immediately. Charge some money into it and find a book called ¡®Heavenly Dao Record¡¯. Reward and urge him to update!¡± In less than a minute, a female voice replied. ¡°Dean, the book is completed.¡± The Dean replied with an ¡°oh¡± and continued, ¡°Then charge some more. Give him half of the rewards first. Urge him to update with the rest of the rewards when his new book is out.¡± ¡°Yes, Dean.¡± The instructor was speechless. Is this story that good? He was a crude person. He only knew how to beat people up and teach his students martial arts. He could not appreciate such things from books. He did not dare to continue disturbing the Dean seeing how engrossed he was in his reading. He could only leave silently. He thought about it as he was walking through the academy. He could not let Lin Bai, who was in Dorm 3609, off so easily. Skipping class on the first day of military training was no different from deserting on the battlefield. It would be difficult to manage the military training team in the future if he left it alone. He¡¯ll know at the afternoon gathering! He wanted to give this brat who dared to challenge the school rules and authority a show of strength! ¡­ At 14 o¡¯clock sharp, the military training commenced. Crowds of people rushed to the field from all directions, complaining. It was the hottest time of the day. Blazing waves surged, and even birds did not appear. However, these students had to persist in training their physical fitness under the sun. The harsher the environment, the more potential it could stimulate. The instructors took the lead and asked the students to line up on the slightly colder lawn. They stood on the plastic track and commanded the operation, using their willpower to resist the heat. With someone in the lead, they would not withdraw easily even though everyone had complaints in their hearts. In a corner of the field, the entire Dorm 3609 was in a line. While the other military training teams were standing in a military posture and running laps, the instructor glanced around and asked in a strong voice. ¡°Is Lin Bai here?¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios What would come would come. He felt the faint killing aura that the instructor inadvertently emitted. Lin Bai knew that this was an Awakened with real skills. From the looks of it, he had been on the battlefield and fought to the death with Origin Beasts or subterranean aliens. ¡­ Sure, I have the ability to take care of him. ¡°Brother Lin¡­¡± Li Tongwu and the others looked at him worriedly. Lin Bai pursed his lips and patted Li Tongwu¡¯s shoulder to reassure him. Then, he walked out firmly and stood in front of the instructor. ¡°Instructor, are you looking for me?¡± ¡°At least you have some backbone. You¡¯re not a coward.¡± The instructor sized up Lin Bai a few times and felt that the youth in front of him did not have any hostility. He was not the prickly person he had imagined, so he softened his tone and asked, ¡°Do you know why I¡¯m looking for you?¡± ¡°I know. I didn¡¯t participate in the military training and acted independently, causing a very bad impact on everyone.¡± Lin Bai did not defend himself and looked honest. ¡°If you know, why did you still do it? Why did you come to Lijoann? Don¡¯t you have any idea?¡± The instructor lectured sternly, ¡°In today¡¯s world, evil beasts are surging and alien races are surrounding us. I don¡¯t know how many heroes have died in exchange for this peaceful place!¡± At this point, his emotions suddenly became intense. His eyes lit up, as if he could see his comrades fighting for the human race one after another. He could not help but point at Lin Bai and say angrily, ¡°But you, you don¡¯t want to improve! You don¡¯t cultivate martial arts and insist on writing novels¡­ Can writing novels kill enemies?!¡± After saying this, it was extremely infectious, causing many students to look at Lin Bai differently. Initially, these people only wanted to watch the show, but now, there was more or less a hint of blame on their faces. Li Tongwu and the others felt even more ashamed. They were indeed the ones who instigated Lin Bai to give up military training and go to an internet cafe to write books instead. This was equivalent to scolding them all. Lin Bai looked at the excited situation and shook his head helplessly. ¡°Instructor, is there a possibility that you can become stronger by writing novels?¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± The instructor snorted. ¡°It¡¯s a taboo to multitask in martial arts. Do you think you¡¯re invincible just because you¡¯ve learned a few moves?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Bai opened his mouth, but no words came out. He fell silent. The two of them did not get along. What he meant was that writing novels was the same as practicing martial arts. It could be used as a way to increase one¡¯s strength. On the other hand, the instructor understood that he could cultivate martial arts while writing books without delay. He thought that this was impossible¡­ After thinking about it, he decided not to explain. The instructor could think whatever he wanted. No matter what kind of punishment he was going to receive, Yours Truly was going to accept it. He couldn¡¯t possibly be expelled just because he didn¡¯t participate in the military training, right? Heh¡­ He had paid for it! ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not convinced and look down on this military training.¡± The instructor raised his eyebrows. ¡°The most important thing in martial arts cultivation is to fight steadily. The military training is to sharpen your Qi and blood. When you break through to the Apprentice realm and enter the Martial Artist realm in the future, you will be stronger than others by 30%¡­ You don¡¯t believe me? If you don¡¯t believe me, let¡¯s fight!¡± Lin Bai did not believe it and said speechlessly, ¡°Instructor, aren¡¯t you bullying me by fighting me¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just letting you have a taste of it.¡± The instructor added, ¡°I¡¯ll control my strength and try my best to suppress it to the level of an Apprentice.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t even fought before. You can crush me with just your combat instincts, can¡¯t you?¡± Lin Bai didn¡¯t buy that at all. The instructor was silent. He did neglect this point. After thinking about it carefully for almost a minute, he continued to explain the rules. ¡°Then let¡¯s have a sparring session by exchanging three moves. We¡¯ll only compete in strength and not technique. Let¡¯s see who takes the most steps back. If you lose, train well in the future and don¡¯t skip class. How about that?¡± Lin Bai also wanted to feel the strength of this world¡¯s Martial Artists. He nodded and said, ¡°And what if I were to win? The instructor could not help but laugh. ¡°You can skip my classes in the future if you can win against me!¡± ¡°Alright! It¡¯s a deal!¡± ¡­ The news that the instructor was going to compete with the a student quickly spread. Students from the other teams ran over to watch the commotion, even the instructors got themselves involved. When they saw the two people in the arena getting into a fighting stance, they whistled wildly and teased loudly. ¡°Old Wei! How old are you already? Why are you still angry with a little kid? Aren¡¯t you embarrassed?!¡± ¡°Sigh! It doesn¡¯t do anything for you if you win and you¡¯ll lose your dignity if you lose!¡± ¡°Can you do it, Wei Feng? You can¡¯t beat the captain, so you came to vent your anger on the students, right? Huh? Speak!¡± The instructor called Wei Feng looked pale. ¡°I¡¯m teaching my students martial arts knowledge. What are you talking about? Go away! Get lost!¡± The instructors laughed and put their arms around each other¡¯s shoulders, not forgetting to boo Wei Feng. Wei Feng took a deep breath and did not look at his comrades who were watching the commotion. He walked to the equipment area not far away and brought back a soft cushion, handing it to Lin Bai. ¡°Hold it tightly by your side. When I attack later, you must look at the right position and use your shoulder to block it. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Bai originally wanted to refuse. He had the Golden Bell Shield Iron Skin Technique and he wanted to test the defensive effect of this martial art. However, he did not object, seeing the instructor¡¯s good intentions. Wei Feng took two steps back, ready to attack. Lin Bai stood straight and raised the cushion high. ¡°¡­¡± He didn¡¯t even pose for defense, neither did he bend his legs or lower his center of gravity. He probably wasn¡¯t even an Apprentice, right? Seeing this, Wei Feng frowned slightly and took another step forward. He prepared again and adjusted his strength. He had no choice. He was afraid of hurting Lin Bai. Before attacking, he thought for a moment and decided to give up on punching. He directly pressed his fist against the soft cushion, planning to use the force of his body to push Lin Bai back. Wei Feng counted down silently in his heart. Three¡­ two¡­ one! All the muscles in his body suddenly tightened, and streams of Inner Breath that were like slithering snakes flashed under his skin, surging towards his right arm at lightning speed. Wei Feng knew how terrifying his punch was. 80% of the strength of his own punch could still shatter a traditionally made cement brick wall into pieces. As for Lin Bai¡­ The force was evenly distributed with the protection of this specially made soft cushion. He would receive some recoil force at most, so it was no big deal. Wei Feng thought about it and focused his gaze on the spot in front of him. Lin Bai blinked and looked at him innocently. The figure that was so weak that it could collapse at a touch in his eyes was actually standing still with one leg crossed at an angle! Wei Feng was stunned. ¡­ How¡­ How could he have no reaction? Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°You can actually withstand my punch!¡± Wei Feng had been a coach for so many years, but this was the first time he had met a student who could stand still after receiving a punch! Lin Bai¡¯s expression was indifferent as he smiled. ¡°Instructor, you can use all your strength.¡± Wei Feng¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Lin Bai, even though you have some ability, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to resist if I were to go all out.¡± He really didn¡¯t feel anything just now! Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Instructor, let¡¯s begin.¡± Wei Feng¡¯s expression turned serious. This student was too arrogant! He would not hold back since he requested for him to go all out! It was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson! This would be to prevent him from provoking someone he shouldn¡¯t have when he¡¯s outside in the future! When Wei Feng thought of this, he held his breath and gathered all the strength in his body into a fist. His gaze was serious as he quickly rushed towards Lin Bai! BANG! The fist wind brought about a low rumbling sound. Everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, as if they could not bear to see Lin Bai¡¯s tragic state. How could an ordinary freshman withstand Instructor Wei¡¯s full-strength punch? ¡°Ah!¡± An inconceivable and shocked voice sounded. Li Tongwu raised his head in shock because he heard the voice coming from Wei Feng! Not Lin Bai? Wei Feng was shocked. It was as if he could not believe what was happening in front of him! ¡°You can still stand!¡± There was a hint of horror in his eyes. The surrounding students were even more stunned! Lin Bai was actually able to withstand Wei Feng¡¯s two punches. He didn¡¯t even move! Lin Bai looked like a hidden expert! Lin Bai¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°Instructor, there¡¯s one last punch left.¡± Wei Feng immediately reacted. He did not waste any more time and took a few steps back. His expression was even more solemn than before. He gathered all the strength in his body into his hands again. This time, he did not treat Lin Bai as a student at all. Instead, he treated him as a true opponent! BANG! The gray sand beside him was splashed, and the ground seemed to be trembling! The place where Wei Feng¡¯s feet stepped on suddenly formed a huge pit! Everything around them was covered by the sand fog brought about by the fist wind, preventing others from seeing what was going on. Lin Bai was probably finished! Everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats. However, to their surprise¡­ Lin Bai was still standing in place after the sand fog dissipated! He did not even move a single step! Lin Bai blinked. His gaze landed on Wei Feng, who had taken a few steps back from the force of his punch. ¡°Instructor Wei, are you alright?¡± Wei Feng¡¯s expression changed from shock to admiration! This batch of freshmen was indeed filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. A seemingly lazy freshman was actually unscathed after three punches from him! He was even forced to take a few steps back. This had never happened before! Wei Feng took a deep look at Lin Bai. ¡°You do have some skills.¡± Lin Bai smiled, but he was very happy in his heart! This Golden Bell Shirt Iron Cloth Shield was actually so powerful! He wondered how effective the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist would be in reality! Lin Bai couldn¡¯t wait to try this. ¡°Instructor Wei, it¡¯s my turn now.¡± Wei Feng finally reacted. He came back to his senses and looked very serious. He also wanted to know how strong Lin Bai was. He was the only one among his students who could withstand three punches from him after all! Even the students he had taught for a few years could not do this! Wei Feng focused all his attention on Lin Bai, ready to defend at any time. However, Lin Bai¡¯s punch was too fast! In the blink of an eye, he heard a low tiger roar before he could react. When his voice stopped, Wei Feng retreated continuously and almost fell down! He looked at Lin Bai in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock. To be able to withstand his attack was already outstanding! However, not only could this Lin Bai resist his attack, but he could even defend himself¡­ No! All defenses were empty words in the face of speed! Lin Bai was fast! Too fast! Moreover, when he punched, he could actually make a sound! This was something that ordinary people could not do! Even he couldn¡¯t do it! The tiger¡¯s roar diverted his attention. It allowed Lin Bai to quickly find a flaw! This was simply terrifying! He was so shocked that he could not speak. Lin Bai¡¯s expression was calm. He raised his eyebrows at Wei Feng and said with a smile, ¡°Instructor Wei, do you still want to come at me?¡± Lin Bai only wanted to test the power of this punch. He did not want to fall out with Wei Feng. Wei Feng looked very determined! ¡°Again!¡± Lin Bai was a little surprised. However, he did not refuse when he heard this. He instantly clenched his fists and injected all his strength into them. He only felt a powerful airflow surge out. This time, Wei Feng stared at Lin Bai¡¯s every move and changed his defense along with his actions. He even tried his best to block out the sound, but to his surprise, it was not a tiger roar but a dragon¡¯s roar! That voice was deep and heavy, carrying an indescribable horror that enveloped Wei Feng tightly. He instantly felt a wave of pain and retreated repeatedly, falling to the ground! Lin Bai, on the other hand, was completely untainted. His expression was calm, and he did not even pant. He reached out and grabbed Wei Feng¡¯s hand, looking at Wei Feng¡¯s voice with concern. ¡°Instructor Wei, are you okay now?¡± Wei Feng was almost speechless. His mind went blank! Li Tongwu and the others, who were watching, couldn¡¯t say a word. They were shocked by Lin Bai! The fist technique in the novel was actually real! They thought that Lin Bai was just making it up! However, Lin Bai was actually using his actions to tell them that this was actually a real fist technique! It wasn¡¯t fiction! Moreover, even though Lin Bai looked weak, he easily resisted the instructor¡¯s fist and even successfully used the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist to attack the instructor! Li Tongwu couldn¡¯t help but shout! ¡°Lin Bai! Awesome!¡± His face was red, and his large eyes were filled with joy! Since he won, perhaps Lin Bai would not have to be punished! As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their heads and cheered at Lin Bai! They had always admired the strong! Wei Feng pursed his lips. His gaze became more and more determined. He knew Lin Bai¡¯s strength now! ¡°Again! One last time!¡± ¡°I want to see how powerful you are!¡± His voice towards Lin Bai was firm and refreshing. He was not angry at all at this obvious loss! Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. ¡°Instructor Wei, are you really going to continue?¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Cut the crap!¡± Wei Feng had a serious expression. His eyes were firm and filled with urgency as he looked at Lin Bai. Lin Bai did not ask anything else after seeing that. He knew that Wei Feng was sincere! ¡°Instructor, sorry for offending you!¡± As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, he jumped up and clenched his fists tightly as he quickly rushed towards Wei Feng! One step, two steps! BANG! No one saw how Lin Bai attacked. His footsteps were too fast! Everyone heard a deafening dragon roar and tiger roar, causing the ground to tremble slightly when he punched out! A cloud of smoke immediately filled the sky and covered everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°Wow!¡± Someone let out a cry of surprise. Only then did everyone wake up from their gaze and look at Lin Bai. When the smoke dissipated, Lin Bai¡¯s expression was as usual. His clothes were neat and tidy, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile. His gaze landed not far away. He looked concerned. ¡°Instructor, are you alright?¡± Lin Bai asked as he quickly walked up. Wei Feng was knocked to the ground. After being shouted at by Lin Bai, he immediately came back to his senses and stood up. His breathing was still a little unstable. He looked at Lin Bai with a complicated gaze and shook his head at him. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± He had been defeated by Lin Bai three times! Every time, he prepared his defense and even quickly adjusted his strategy. However, it was still useless! Lin Bai was simply too fast! ¡°Lin Bai, what is this¡­¡± Before Wei Feng finished speaking, the others rushed over. Li Tongwu looked at Wei Feng and Lin Bai nervously. He could barely speak. ¡°Awesome, Lin Bai!¡± An exaggerated shocked voice immediately rushed up. It was Lin Bai¡¯s other roommate. He hugged Lin Bai! His face was filled with admiration! Everyone could not hold it in anymore! They did not care if Wei Feng was beside him. They surrounded Lin Bai, their faces filled with shock and excitement! ¡°Linbai, you were too fast just now!¡± ¡°What the hell is that?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We just felt a gust of wind, and then¡­ Instructor Wei collapsed!¡± Lin Bai blinked. He looked at his enthusiastic classmates in surprise! Was it really that powerful? Lin Bai smiled slightly, his face carrying a hint of calmness. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just threw out a set of punches.¡± Was it really a set of punches? They had not seen anything like that before! Li Tongwu hammered Lin Bai¡¯s shoulder in admiration. His tone towards Lin Bai carried some inexplicable pride. This was his dorm mate! ¡°Linbai, you¡¯re too humble. This is the first time we¡¯ve seen this fist technique! Even the instructors in the school have probably never seen it before, right?¡± ¡°Linbai, where did you learn this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Lin Bai, were you under a very powerful master previously?¡± Otherwise, where did he learn such a powerful fist technique? They even heard the roar of a tiger and the muttering of an ancient dragon when Lin Bai threw a punch! This was something they had never seen before. Not only had they not heard of it in reality, but it was also not in the books! Everyone¡¯s enthusiastic questions made Lin Bai not know whether to laugh or cry. A helpless expression appeared on his face. How could he have a master? However, just as he shook his head, he was met with unfathomable gazes. Li Tongwu sighed softly. ¡°I know, I know. It¡¯s hard to say if you do have a master, right? We won¡¯t ask anymore!¡± ¡­ Why didn¡¯t Li Tongwu write a novel with such a wild imagination? ¡°How can I afford to hire a master?¡± The original owner of the body was extremely poor. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be living in such a small rented house. ¡°Alright! Do you think you¡¯re all as powerful as Lin Bai if you don¡¯t train properly?¡± Wei Feng seemed to have caught his breath. His voice was like a large bell, immediately shocking this group of new students. Everyone scattered like birds and immediately returned to their seats. Lin Bai had already become a model student in Wei Feng¡¯s heart after just three rounds! Lin Bai¡¯s heart stirred. This instructor seemed to only recognize strength. ¡°Instructor Wei.¡± Wei Feng had a mysterious and appreciative smile on his face. He looked at Lin Bai and nodded at him. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. You really don¡¯t need to participate in military training¡­ You don¡¯t need to participate in my class either!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t teach you anything!¡± Lin Bai was slightly surprised. He did not expect Wei Feng to be so honest. Just as he was about to speak, a noisy and panicked voice came from the side. ¡°Dean!¡± ¡°Dean, why are you here?¡± The Dean¡¯s here? Wei Feng¡¯s face stiffened. He had privately competed with the students and even used the course as a bet. In fact, it violated the instructor¡¯s principles and the school¡¯s rules. The Dean strode over with a dignified expression. He had actually been here for a long time, almost from the moment Wei Feng and Lin Bai started the sparring session. However, he did not disturb them, and no one paid attention to him. He did not expect that an ordinary sparring session would actually give him such a huge surprise. There was actually such a powerful figure among the new students! When the Dean thought of this, he could not help but glance at Lin Bai. Lin Bai was still so calm after the battle. He didn¡¯t even pant! This was the first time he had seen such a fist technique. The Dean was very curious about Lin Bai. His eyes swept across Lin Bai and Wei Feng majestically. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Huh? It looks like they¡¯re fighting?¡± Wei Feng subconsciously stood up and protected Lin Bai behind him. ¡°Dean, this is all my fault¡­¡± Wei Feng wanted to take responsibility for himself. He could not let Lin Bai be punished. After all, he was the one who suggested it. Lin Bai did have the strength even if he had lost! He did not want such a capable student to be punished for the school rules just because he had dragged him to spar. However ,to Wei Feng¡¯s surprise, Lin Bai suddenly walked out and bowed slightly to the Dean, appearing extremely polite. ¡°Dean, I was the one who suggested it. I wanted to practice with Instructor Wei.¡± ¡°I want to see the difference between Instructor Wei and me.¡± ¡°Dean, this was all my idea.¡± ¡°I want to have experience when I meet Origin Beasts alone in the future.¡± Lin Bai¡¯s expression was sincere as he spoke to the Dean word by word. He took the blame from Wei Feng as he spoke. Wei Feng looked touched. Lin Bai is really a good student! The Dean coughed. ¡°Lin Bai, what¡¯s this move of yours? I¡¯ve never seen it.¡± At least he had only seen a few people in his life who could cause such a huge commotion in his experience. But would those people accept disciples? The Dean stared intently at Lin Bai. Moreover, he had never seen them use this kind of fist technique. It was too strange! Lin Bai¡¯s voice was very calm. ¡°Dean, this is called the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist!¡± Chapter 20 - You Can Cash Up By Reading Novels? Chapter 20 You Can Cash Up By Reading Novels? The Dean was shocked. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Lin Bai, his eyes anxious. ¡°Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist?¡± This name is all too familiar! Wasn¡¯t this the move he had read in the novel just now? The Dean could not help but think of that attractive description! It was almost identical to Lin Bai¡¯s fist technique, as if it had been materialized. Lin Bai looked at the Dean¡¯s shocked expression and was a little puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s right, Dean. It¡¯s called the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The Dean looked at Lin Bai in disbelief. He still sounded surprised. ¡°I read a novel just now. The Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist written in the novel is exactly the same as yours.¡± ¡°The first move, second move, and even the third move are exactly the same!¡± Lin Bai was slightly stunned. He thought for a moment and understood. The Dean must have read the book he wrote previously, which was why he was so surprised. Lin Bai thought of the website¡¯s cash up benefits. His ability would increase even more with an increasing readership! The others could also obtain the inferior version of the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist! He felt that it should be able to benefit others even though it was not as good as his. Wouldn¡¯t he be able to have a higher click rate this way? Moreover, the more people that could use it, the stronger his ability would be! This was a very profitable trade for him. Thinking of this, Lin Bai was delighted. He had an excellent idea! This would be the best opportunity to advertise his novel! ¡°Dean, you might not know, but I got it from reading this novel.¡± ¡°Moreover, there will be a certain chance to cash up the martial arts in real life as long as more people read this novel.¡± ¡°I cashed up after reading it!¡± Lin Bai¡¯s voice was sincere, and his face was serious. He did not seem to be lying at all. What? You can learn new martial arts by reading novels? The Dean was speechless for a long time! This was the first time he had heard such strange and shocking words! He had practiced martial arts for many years and had participated in various battles. He had also learned from many big shots. His master was also second to none. However, he had never told him that he could cash in on martial arts by reading novels. And it was such a powerful martial art! If someone had said this to him in the past, he would have reprimanded them for being delusional! They would definitely think that the other party was a useless piece of trash who was daydreaming! However, Lin Bai was the one saying this. Lin Bai¡¯s neat fist technique and speed were still constantly replaying in his mind. Lin Bai even relied on this fist technique to forcefully defeat Wei Feng! Wei Feng was one of the most outstanding instructors in the school and Lin Bai could compete on level grounds with him! He subconsciously wanted to doubt it, but he felt that his doubts were unreasonable. The naked truth was right there after all! At the same time, the students and Wei Feng heard Lin Bai¡¯s words. Wei Feng was shocked. He even forgot that the Dean was still by his side. He blurted out to Lin Bai. ¡°How is that possible! I¡¯ve never heard of anyone who can learn martial arts by reading novels!¡± The students beside him whispered and looked at Lin Bai, their eyes filled with surprise and speculation. ¡°Is that really possible?¡± ¡°That works? You can learn martial arts just by reading a novel?¡± ¡°Why not? Didn¡¯t you see what Lin Bai was doing just now?!¡± ¡°Have you seen that move before?¡± Indeed, they had never seen it before. The Dean glared at Wei Feng unhappily. Wei Feng¡¯s voice interrupted the Dean¡¯s reminiscing. He retracted his gaze reluctantly and looked at Lin Bai¡¯s voice curiously. ¡°If that¡¯s true, what is the name of the novel you read?¡± The Dean was still suspicious. However, he was interested in verifying it. He wanted to see if the novel Lin Bai was talking about was the same as the one he read. Lin Bai raised his head. His eyes were slightly raised, and his voice was indifferent. ¡°Dean, the novel I read is called the Heavenly Dao Record.¡± ¡°The Heavenly Dao Record is a very good novel. There are very detailed martial arts inside, and the plot is very good. I can easily immerse myself in it.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t think much when I read it. I just entered the plot.¡± ¡°Then I cash upped!¡± He blinked and looked at the crowd that was going wild. Lin Bai was immediately satisfied. He knew that they must have heard him. ¡°This small story was published on the Myriad Worlds. Dean, do you know about this website?¡± Of course he knew! Not only did he know, but he was also reading the same novel there! The Dean¡¯s expression was very serious. ¡°What did you do to cash up?¡± Lin Bai¡¯s cash up was not the path of a reader at all. However, his expression did not change. He said to the Dean, ¡°Dean, I didn¡¯t do anything. I was just more serious when reading.¡± His tone was firm. ¡°This should be the same as us practicing martial arts. We have to study seriously to have a chance of cashing up.¡± ¡°I was also very surprised when I made the cash up.¡¯ ¡°Then, I used the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist when sparring with Instructor Wei. I didn¡¯t expect this fist technique to be so powerful.¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat Instructor Wei if not for this fist technique.¡± As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, even the Dean could not suppress the students who were already going crazy. They became even more excited at Lin Bai¡¯s voice! ¡°Is it true, Lin Bai!¡± ¡°F*ck, if I¡¯m really as powerful as Lin Bai, I will even memorize the Heavenly Dao Record!¡± ¡°Others can cash up such a powerful fist technique just by reading the Heavenly Dao Record. I only know how to shout that the protagonist is really powerful when I read novels!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll log into the Myriad World now. I¡¯ll add Heavenly Dao Record to my Library now!¡± ¡°Me too. I¡¯ll read the Heavenly Dao Record now! Maybe I can cash up in the future!¡± The students¡¯ enthusiasm was instantly roused. They seemed to have already imagined the scene where they would be able to cash up in the next moment. Then they would be able to be as amazing as Lin Bai. A bustling sound instantly entered the Dean¡¯s ears. He still looked calm on the surface, as if he was satisfied after verifying it. However, truth to be told, his heart was in turmoil, as if thousands of rivers and mountains were sweeping over. It is actually true! He believed Lin Bai¡¯s words now. He knew that only the Heavenly Dao Record had such a fist technique after all. Lin Bai could comprehend such a powerful fist technique by reading the Heavenly Dao Record. This novel was indeed extraordinary and Lin Bai¡¯s aptitude was probably superb! He had also read the Heavenly Dao Record himself but he got nothing! The Dean was even more shocked when he thought of this. Lin Bai¡¯s aptitude might bring more surprises to the school! Chapter 21 - Writing A Novel Openly! Chapter 21 Writing A Novel Openly! ¡°Good! As expected of a student of our academy!¡± The Dean patted Lin Bai¡¯s shoulder with a good amount of weight! He looked up, eyes filled with joy! If that was the case, wouldn¡¯t the students in their school be able to obtain unprecedented martial arts by reading novels? Wouldn¡¯t they make a profit? This had never happened in other schools! The principal smiled extremely gently and rolled his eyes at Lin Bai. ¡°Alright! Lin Bai! You can actually cash up one of them. Then you can definitely cash up another one, right? I¡¯ll arrange time for you! You¡¯ll specialize in reading novels!¡± The Dean could not forget the power of the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist! What kind of advantage would it be if he used this to deal with the Origin Beasts and those foreign races hiding underground that were difficult to defeat?! Perhaps they could really snatch back their homeland and completely destroy the Origin Beasts! The Dean could not help but look at Lin Bai even more fervently. Lin Bai felt a little helpless under the Dean¡¯s gaze. Why is he looking at him as if he is a money tree? ¡°Wow¡­¡± The students immediately felt a little jealous. Lin Bai had only used a set of fist techniques to obtain time to read novels? Wasn¡¯t this too awesome? ¡°Dean, you¡¯re so biased! We can read novels too! Why did you only arrange special time for Lin Bai!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Cash up by reading novels. We can also realize the cash up!¡± The Dean swept a dignified glance at the noisy students. ¡°Alright, Lin Bai has already cashed up. Did you guys cash up?¡± ¡°What did you obtain from reading novels?¡± The Dean¡¯s words immediately made the sour voices disappear. They had been reading novels for so long, but they had indeed not cash upped anything! They did not even know about this cash up before today! Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to say another word, afraid of being reprimanded. The principal nodded in satisfaction when he saw that everyone was silent. ¡°Instructor Wei, continue to train them!¡± He snorted. ¡°Lin Bai, come with me!¡± Lin Bai paused for a moment and hurriedly agreed. Why is the Dean looking for him? The Dean smiled and tapped the chair in front of his desk while looking at Lin Bai gently. ¡°Sit down. You don¡¯t have to be so restrained.¡± The secretary brought over tea and looked at Lin Bai in surprise. She had clearly heard something. Lin Bai felt a little strange. Didn¡¯t he spill everything already? Lin Bai was slightly stunned. He lowered his head at the Dean with a probing expression. ¡°Dean, why are you looking for me? What I said before is true!¡± The Dean waved his hand. ¡°I know that you are the author of the Heavenly Dao Record. This fist technique appeared in your novel.¡± He did not say it directly just now because he saw that Lin Bai was unwilling to expose his identity. Lin Bai choked. He did not want to expose his identity. However, he did not expect the Dean to help him cover it up. Lin Bai¡¯s face turned slightly red thinking of how he had spouted nonsense in front of the Dean in all seriousness just now. ¡°Dean, it¡¯s also true that I can cash up from reading books. It¡¯s a benefit of the myriad worlds.¡± ¡°That set of Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist is also a cash up benefit for me! I can cash up the martial arts inside as long as there are enough people reading the novels that I wrote!¡± Lin Bai knew that he could not hide his identity anymore, so he told the Dean everything with all honesty. The Dean was delighted. Wouldn¡¯t Lin Bai be the academy¡¯s savior? The next wave of danger from the Origin Beasts was right in front of them! He did not even know when this batch of new students would go to the front line to kill the enemy. Perhaps it would be half a year later! Perhaps it would be next month! It was even more likely that the academy would be attacked tomorrow! Lin Bai¡¯s novel might be able to resolve the crisis of the Origin Beasts attacking! Thinking of this, the Dean could not help but become even more excited. ¡°Lin Bai! Good lad!¡± ¡°You can choose all the training other than the basic courses and the necessary cultural classes freely!¡± ¡°I want you to write more martial arts novels and to teach them how to use these martial arts!¡± ¡°Lin Bai, what do you think?¡± ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll specially spare half a day for you to focus on writing novels. Is that okay?¡± ¡°I can also arrange an office space for you to write novels. You can choose the table for yourself!¡± Lin Bai was shocked. He looked flattered and stood up at the Dean. ¡°Dean, there¡¯s no need for the office space. I can write it in the dormitory.¡± He was already used to the atmosphere of the dormitory. He might not be able to write so well in another place. The Dean was stunned too. However, he did not say anything else and nodded at Lin Bai. ¡°Alright! In that case, create your novel in peace. Leave the rest to me!¡± In the future, he could even directly get Lin Bai to teach his students these martial arts! The Dean could not sit still anymore at the thought that he could cash up by reading books. He also wanted to cash up as soon as possible! Lin Bai¡¯s ability was too beautiful after all! This temptation was simply irresistible to the Dean. The Dean smiled at Lin Bai thinking of this. ¡°Alright, go back and prepare first. I¡¯ll arrange the class schedule for you separately.¡± He felt that with Lin Bai¡¯s ability, he might not need any instructor training at all. Lin Bai did not say anything else seeing that the Dean had dismissed him. He stood up and bowed slightly to the Dean before leaving. Lin Bai was immediately surrounded by his roommates waiting in the dormitory as soon as he returned. Li Tongwu looked at him nervously with guilt on his face. ¡°How are you? Did the Dean make things difficult for you?¡± Lin Bai¡¯s heart warmed. He did not have many friends in his previous life. He only obtained roommates who were sincere to him after coming to this world. He smiled and nodded. ¡°The Dean only asked me some questions. He knows that I wrote the Heavenly Dao Record.¡± Li Tongwu heaved a sigh of relief. He blamed himself. ¡°I thought we¡¯d implicated you.¡± ¡°Seriously, you wouldn¡¯t have been discovered to have skipped class if we didn¡¯t want to read novels.¡± Lin Bai could not help but laugh. He comforted Li Tongwu. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The Dean has already said that he can give me a special class schedule and specially spare me half a day to write novels.¡± When his roommates heard this, they were immediately pleasantly surprised. Li Tongwu patted Lin Bai¡¯s shoulder excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s great! Doesn¡¯t that mean you can write novels openly in the future?¡± Lin Bai nodded. He turned on his computer and logged onto the website. The number of readings in the Heavenly Dao Record increased. The Gift Ranking was refreshing without stopping. Names flashed in front of Lin Bai one after another. Lin Bai narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. He felt that he could continue writing his third novel. He wanted to level up as soon as possible, and the best way to level up was to write more novels! Thinking of this, Lin Bai immediately opened the interface of his new book. ¡°Eh? Lin Bai, what kind of new novel are you going to start?¡± Li Tongwu immediately became interested when he saw the interface. Lin Bai blinked. ¡°A genre you haven¡¯t seen before!¡± Chapter 22 - The Third Book! On The Home Page! Chapter 22 The Third Book! On The Home Page! Lin Bai¡¯s smile was very mysterious. ¡°Ah! I really want to be the first person to read it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I want to too, but we still have to train!¡± His roommates complained one after another, their eyes filled with unwillingness. Lin Bai met his roommates¡¯ resentful gazes. ¡°I¡¯ve just started writing. Won¡¯t you be able to read it when you come back from training?¡± He comforted. ¡°I¡¯ll send it out after you¡¯re done reading it.¡± He could also let his roommates see if they liked it. This was a new genre after all. Almost no one wrote about this. Lin Bai first drew up an outline. He wanted to write about a group of youths fighting for their ideals in a supernatural world. First of all, this protagonist¡¯s identity had to be tragic enough. He realized that everyone in this world loved this formula very much. They liked to watch the underdog protagonist launch a counterattack. Lin Bai set the protagonist to live in a mountain village. His parents had died. In order to protect the village, his parents sacrificed their lives to seal the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox soul that came to attack the village on the protagonist. As a result, the protagonist became an orphan and grew up in the wild in the mountain village. However, the villagers did not understand the protagonist and treated him as an anomaly. They ostracized the protagonist and treated him coldly, but they had to raise him because of his parents. However, if there are people who treated the protagonist coldly, he would also have to set up a teacher who believed in the protagonist and protected him. Lin Bai wrote as he thought, quickly completing the outline. He did not rest and directly started writing the first chapter! At the beginning of the first chapter, the protagonist was chased around the village by his teacher because he was late for school. In the end, he was caught by his teacher. During the assessment, he teased the teacher by turning into a beautiful girl. The teacher¡¯s face turned red. Lin Bai¡¯s plot was stuck with the protagonist transforming into a beautiful girl. He had just finished writing when Li Tongwu and the others pushed the door open and entered. As soon as they entered, they rushed to Lin Bai¡¯s computer desk impatiently. They shouted in anticipation. ¡°How is it? Is it done? Is it done?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been holding it in during training just now. It¡¯s really too uncomfortable. I really want to see it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I want to see it too!¡± The three of them looked at Lin Bai eagerly. Lin Bai could not help but smile. He felt that these three people were like children asking for candy. However, they were clearly people around his age. Lin Bai looked at them with a smile and turned his computer screen towards them. The three of them immediately went forward and there was silence for a moment. Lin Bai waited for a while and suddenly realized that there seemed to be a faint airflow surging in his body. That airflow ran through his entire body with some warmth. Lin Bai closed his eyes slightly. He instantly understood. It must be that more people had read his Heavenly Dao Record, or someone had cash upped. That was why he felt that his ability had become stronger! A trace of ecstasy flashed across Lin Bai¡¯s eyes. It seemed that he could not delay any longer. He had to publish the third book as soon as possible. This way, he could obtain the powers he had written about in the third book! Thinking of this, Lin Bai raised his head and looked at the three people who were still unsatisfied. ¡°How is it? This is only the first chapter. I¡¯ll write a few more chapters later and send them out together!¡± Li Tongwu¡¯s face was filled with shock. ¡°Lin Bai, Boss, this is similar to our world!¡± There were also things similar to Origin Beasts inside. However, the protagonist in the story had an ability that they had never heard of! Lin Bai was stunned. From this point of view, they did look a little similar. He blinked, but didn¡¯t have time to explain. Li Tongwu continued, ¡°You must have borrowed from reality!¡± ¡°I want to see how Teacher will react later on. Teacher will definitely be very angry if he teases Teacher, right?¡± Lin Bai was immediately satisfied when he saw the anticipation in their eyes. It seemed that this book would not lack audiences. ¡°You¡¯ll know when I write it.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tongwu immediately pulled his other two roommates over and immediately gave him his computer table back. They even served fruits and snacks and turned the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature. ¡°Boss Lin Bai, quickly write them down!¡± Lin Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry. In his previous life, there were not so many people guarding him to read his novels. ¡°I¡¯ll start writing now.¡± His lips curled up slightly as he opened the webpage. Lin Bai¡¯s writing speed was very fast. He finished ten chapters in almost two hours. He roughly edited some of the details and sent it out before the moon set. The students who took out their phones in a daze and were prepared to entertain themselves for the last time immediately erupted! The point where Lin Bai paused was also very good. He was at the point where the protagonist¡¯s teacher was impersonated and was about to deceive the protagonist to go to his death. During this period, the protagonist¡¯s superpowers were transformation and physical techniques. Lin Bai felt that he had to cash up one thing at a time. This time, he would just cash up two. After sending it, he felt sleepy. He went to bed after he let his roommates know about it. He completely ignored how shocking this book would be to everyone! On the Myriad Worlds website, Lin Bai¡¯s third novel. Youth With Supernatural Ability! It was ranked first on the trending list. Moreover, the data was still increasing. The comments section was even more lively. There were also many new readers other than the old readers. [Merciless Path Ice Valley Saint: Why did it stop here again! I¡¯m so annoyed!] [A Thousand People With A Thousand Faces: This new book is interesting. The Heavenly Dao Record is not completed but such an interesting book has been published.] [Blood Massacre Palace¡¯s Wen Chengrui: This protagonist¡¯s background is pitiful. His parents sacrificed themselves for the village, but the villagers still don¡¯t understand the protagonist! Everyone in the village deserves to die!] [A Rogue Cultivator: You are too easily upset. You shouldn¡¯t be at the Blood Massacre Palace. You should go to the Bodhi Temple.] [Sitting Down Under the Bodhi Tree To Obtain Enlightenment: Amitabha, don¡¯t be angry. Those villagers just don¡¯t understand the protagonist yet.] [Myriad Flower Valley¡¯s Little Miracle Doctor: Oh, A monk is here to read novels too!] [Immortal Bi Yao: Why don¡¯t you reward the author and urge him to update instead of saying all this nonsense? I haven¡¯t seen such a good novel in a long time!] As soon as this comment was posted, it was immediately followed by the broadcast to every reader who had logged into the Myriad World. [Immortal Bi Yao rewarded three Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pills to Youth With Supernatural Ability!] Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pills? The comments section was silent for a full minute before someone spoke. [Myriad Flower Valley¡¯s Little Miracle Doctor: Awesome. This medicine can really revive the dead. It can even stabilize the soul and revive a person!] [A Thousand People With A Thousand Faces: Only Immortal Bi Yao can take out this medicine. As expected of a great cultivator!] [Blood Massacre Palace¡¯s Wen Chengrui: Hmph! Who doesn¡¯t have it!] Chapter 23 - The Man Wei Feng Respects! Chapter 23 The Man Wei Feng Respects! [Blood Massacre Palace¡¯s Wen Chengrui gave the author of the Youth With Supernatural Ability five Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pills!] The competitive spirit in the comments section was aroused by the gifts from the two big shots. Everyone¡¯s gifts were recorded in Lin Bai¡¯s backend platform as if they were free. However, Lin Bai knew nothing about it. He slept very well. A beautiful dream made the corners of Lin Bai¡¯s lips curl up slightly. He woke up slowly as the sun seeped in from the window. Li Tongwu and the others had already gone for training. The fragrance of soy milk wafted to his nose. It was the breakfast Li Tongwu and the others had brought back for Lin Bai. His phone buzzed. The Dean was very efficient and immediately sent his new curriculum to him. He had free time for most parts of the morning and had classes in the afternoon. Even so, it did not seem to be physical training, but theoretical lessons to understand Origin Beasts. Lin Bai knew that the Dean had probably taken a fancy to his ability and felt that there was no need for him to waste his time on training. The Dean even left a message for him. He told him that he had already seen the new book and was even urging him to update! Lin Bai blinked helplessly. He did not expect to be urged to update when he came to school, and it was even by the school¡¯s boss. He got out of bed slowly, sipped the soy milk Li Tongwu had brought, before turning on his computer. He wanted to see the response from last night. ¡°Ah!¡± However, Lin Bai felt his heart beating exceptionally fast when he saw this dazzling array of gifts even though he was already mentally prepared. He did not expect his new book to be so popular. He opened the comments section. The first part was filled with people scolding him for the cliffhanger. They were eager to see the next part. The gifts started from Immortal Bi Yao. So, the popularity was driven by the big shots and tycoons! [Do you want to cash up the following items: Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pills+8, Body Tempering Pills+10, Internal Cultivation Pills+15, Body Enhancing Pills+25¡­] Lin Bai was a little dazzled by the amount of gifts, but most of them were insignificant. Lin Bai could choose to cash up only a few this time. He thought about it. Others would covet him if he cash upped too much. They might as well be stored on the website. He thought of the Dean and Instructor Wei Feng so he first took out five Body Tempering Pills and planned to give them to the Dean, Instructor Wei Feng and his three roommates. They had always been helping him after all. Lin Bai clicked on cash up and opened his personal center. The successful release of the third book allowed him to finally use the animation function! He nodded casually and lowered his head to continue writing, completely ignoring it. The animation function had caused some huge waves on the website again! He did not know that his novel was the first successful animation adapted from a novel in Myriad World! That vivid and graphic scene immediately attracted many people, such as the Dean. The Dean was still watching for the plot and scenes at first. He did not even hesitate to give Lin Bai a huge gift for this, entering the animation gift ranking with the wave of his hand. He even urged him to update! However, he quickly became engrossed! He had never seen such an exquisite and exciting anime! The Dean¡¯s heart skipped a beat when the protagonist used those superpowers. He could easily crush things in the distance through his superpower! He could even transform into an enemy! Wasn¡¯t this what they had been vexed about? They had to attack at close range when fighting the Origin Beasts, which caused them to lose many talents! They had to take a huge risk to hide and disguise themselves because they could not transform into Origin Beasts. He almost always loses his life taking on this disguise everytime! Wasn¡¯t that how his former companion died? The Dean¡¯s eyes turned slightly red at the thought of this. Lin Bai said that everything in the novels he wrote could be cash upped! If this could be used by everyone¡­ Thinking of this, the Dean couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. He called his secretary over. ¡°Go and get Lin Bai over here. I have something to tell him!¡± ¡°He hasn¡¯t replied to my messages!¡± ¡°Also, get Captain Wu Yue and Instructor Wei Feng to come over too. Tell them that I have something very important to discuss with them.¡± The secretary immediately turned around and left. On the other side, Lin Bai felt something suddenly appear in his body as he wrote on. The mixed thoughts in his mind immediately appeared! Superpowers attacked Lin Bai¡¯s mind one after another. He blinked and his heart skipped a beat. Lin Bai could not help but chant and incantation in his heart. He looked at his reflection on the computer screen and burst out laughing. He could really transform! He had turned into a beautiful woman reflected on the computer screen. His breasts were big and his waist was thin. It was exactly the same as the protagonist teasing his teacher at the beginning! He only wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect it to succeed. Lin Bai smiled and chanted the incantation to return to his original appearance. It seemed that the speed of cash up was proportional to the number of people reading books. The cash up would be faster when more people read his book upon release? He might be able to cash up the second after he published it when he becomes really famous! A hint of hope flashed across Lin Bai¡¯s eyes. There was a knock on the door as he was thinking about this. There was training time in the day. Who would look for him? Lin Bai was a little puzzled. He opened the door and saw the secretary he met in the Dean¡¯s office yesterday smiling at him. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes as he said softly to him, ¡°Lin Bai, the Dean has read your new book and is looking for you.¡± ¡°He said you didn¡¯t reply to his message. Are you busy?¡± Lin Bai subconsciously took out his phone and smiled at the secretary. ¡°I was typing just now and didn¡¯t look at my phone.¡± He closed the door as he spoke and followed the secretary out. The secretary blinked curiously. ¡°Your new book is very good. I¡¯ve read it too. Can you tell me the rest of the plot?¡± She had not slept the entire night last night. His mind was filled with thoughts of what would happen next! However, Lin Bai did not update for a long time. Lin Bai naturally could not spoil the show at this time. However, the way the secretary blinked made her look playful and cute. Lin Bai touched his nose. ¡°Won¡¯t you know when I¡¯m done writing and posting?¡± The secretary pouted but did not ask further. She smiled at Lin Bai and tactfully changed the topic. ¡°The Dean looks very excited, as if he wants to talk to you about something important.¡± Lin Bai felt a little strange. He was just a student. Why would the Dean look for him? He thought nonchalantly as he pushed open the door to the Dean¡¯s office. The scene behind the door stunned Lin Bai. This was because Wei Feng and the Dean were not the only ones in the Dean¡¯s office. There was also a tall and determined man. There was a terrifying scar on his face, making him look fierce and murderous. He was wearing a military uniform, and the medal on his shoulder indicated that this person¡¯s identity was different. It was also because Wei Feng was standing respectfully beside that man. Wei Feng was not even so respectful of the Dean! Chapter 24 - Forming A Small Team! Becoming The Captain! Chapter 24 Forming A Small Team! Becoming The Captain! Lin Bai was a little suspicious. ¡°Dean, Instructor Wei¡­¡± He looked at the man hesitantly. When the Dean saw him, his eyes were filled with hope. ¡°Lin Bai! You¡¯re finally here!¡± ¡°Oh, this is the Captain of Instructors in our school. He¡¯s also your Chief Instructor!¡± The man raised his head and glanced at Lin Bai indifferently. There was dissatisfaction in his eyes, but his tone was still serious. ¡°My name is Wu Yue.¡± Lin Bai vaguely felt that the name was a little familiar, but he couldn¡¯t remember where he had heard it. ¡°Hello, Chief Instructor Wu. My name is Lin Bai, and I¡¯m a freshman this year.¡± With that, he bowed slightly to Wu Yue. Wu Yue nodded as well. There was more surprise in his eyes. The Dean couldn¡¯t wait to ask Lin Bai, ¡°Lin Bai, I called you here this time to ask you if you have cash upped your new book?¡± Lin Bai was slightly stunned. He didn¡¯t expect the Dean to be concerned about this. He nodded. ¡°Dean, you¡¯re right. I¡¯ve already cashed up.¡± ¡°Dean, do you want me to do something?¡± The Dean nodded. His expression was a little solemn. ¡°I read your new book. I think the superpower in your book is very good. It¡¯s very beneficial as an attack towards the Origin Beasts!¡± ¡°The special technique depicted in it is exactly what we lack!¡± Mental attacks¡­ The ability to transform and disguise¡­ All of this would be their advantage in the future! However, whether it could become an advantage depended on Lin Bai. Lin Bai paused. Wei Feng finished the Dean¡¯s sentence before he could speak. His gaze became even more heated and expectant. ¡°Lin Bai, we want you to train and form a team with supernatural abilities!¡± ¡°And you¡¯ll be the captain of it!¡± What? Lin Bai did not expect this and there was doubt in his eyes. ¡°Dean, Instructor Wei, what do you mean by this? You want me to be the captain?¡± He was still a freshman! The Dean and Wei Feng actually dared to let him train people? Lin Bai also knew that the superpower he had obtained was what this world lacked. Perhaps humans could really escape the current predicament as long as the ability spreads. At the very least, it could resolve the threat of the Origin Beasts! But¡­ Isn¡¯t the Dean placing too much trust in him allowing a freshman like him to be the captain? The Dean nodded solemnly. ¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯re the creator of these superpowers. You must be the most familiar with them!¡± ¡°Only you can train the best team!¡± ¡°Your Instructor Wei and I believe in you!¡± ¡°Lin Bai, just agree to it!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s voice was full of trust. ¡°This is our last hope. We¡¯re not far from the next wave of Origin Beast attacks!¡± Lin Bai¡¯s heart stirred. He thought of the Origin Beasts outside the window on the day he arrived at the academy. He knew he had no reason to refuse. Lin Bai smiled helplessly. ¡°Dean, Instructor Wei, but I don¡¯t know how many people have this superpower now.¡± Wu Yue, who had been silent all this while, raised his head. His voice towards Lin Bai was clear and indifferent, but it carried a scrutinizing attitude. ¡°Lin Bai, can you show me what your cash upped supernatural Ability is?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve only seen the animation of your book, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s really that powerful in reality!¡± ¡°I need to see it!¡± There was an unquestionable tone in his voice, making him seem very dignified. Lin Bai did not mind Wu Yue¡¯s attitude. He composed himself and looked at Wu Yue. ¡°Chief Instructor, look behind you.¡± Wu Yue turned around instinctively. In the next instant, the vase behind Wu Yue fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. However, the flower in the vase was still beautiful and intact. It was not hurt at all. Wu Yue¡¯s expression froze. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Lin Bai knew that Wu Yue was making sure that this was reliable. He blinked. ¡°And, of course, transformation for example!¡± He chanted an incantation and a strange voice sounded. Wu Yue stared fixedly at Lin Bai, wanting to know if Lin Bai¡¯s transformation was as perfect as in the anime. Lin Bai restrained himself a little. He did not become a beauty like the protagonist. He had only become someone who looked exactly like Wu Yue. ¡°Chief Instructor, how is it?¡± Even his voice was identical to Wu Yue¡¯s! Wu Yue¡¯s gaze changed immediately. He revealed an incredulous expression. ¡°There¡¯s actually such a magical thing!¡± He was still skeptical at first. He would have turned around and left if not for the insistence by the Dean and Wei Feng. However, Lin Bai¡¯s performance made him as ecstatic as the Dean! This Lin Bai might really be their savior! He could cash up just by writing novels! Wouldn¡¯t they have everything Lin Bai wrote in the future then? Lin Bai looked at Wu Yue, whose expression had changed drastically, and glanced at him in confusion. ¡°Instructor Wu, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Could it be that he had made Wu Yue angry by transforming into him? He quickly changed back and touched his nose with a faint smile. ¡°Sorry about earlier.¡± Wu Yue waved his hand with a serious and respectful expression. ¡°Lin Bai, you can choose people from instructors like us into your team!¡± ¡°As long as we can cash up, I promise you that as long as we¡¯re in the team, you¡¯re the only captain!¡± Wu Yue had just finished speaking. Lin Bai was shocked. He had not expected Wu Yue to make such a huge promise! One had to know that this group of instructors had all experienced the battlefield! Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be qualified to teach them. Furthermore, he could not ignore the medals on Wu Yue¡¯s shoulder. It was too dazzling. Would he have to command them when the time comes? He immediately felt a little complicated. He did not expect that he would challenge the instructor as soon as he entered. He was now even made the captain of the instructor. Lin Bai subconsciously glanced at the Dean. The Dean smiled at Lin Bai and said to him, ¡°Lin Bai, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything else! You just have to train well!¡± When Lin Bai heard this, he had no choice but to agree. Both the Dean and Wu Yue had made such a huge offer after all. It would seem inappropriate if he were to reject it again. Moreover, the Origin Beasts concerned his safety! If he wanted to write a book peacefully, he had to get rid of the Origin Beasts. When Lin Bai thought of this, he immediately nodded. ¡°Dean, Chief Instructor Wu, Instructor Wei, I agree!¡± ¡°But we don¡¯t know how many students can cash up now.¡± The Dean smiled. He seemed very calm. ¡°That¡¯s simple. I¡¯ll get my secretary to send a notice out to let everyone read the novel over the next two days. Whoever cashes up will report to the Dean¡¯s office!¡± ¡°Including the Instructors, moreover¡­¡± The Dean looked up and pointed at Wu Yue with a smile. ¡°Maybe your Chief Instructor will be the first one to cash up!¡± Chapter 25 - Are You Willing To Join The Team?! Chapter 25 Are You Willing To Join The Team?! The news of forming a team was released after Lin Bai agreed to the proposal. The Dean even specially gave the entire school some time to rest for this team. They could use this time to read Lin Bai¡¯s novels to cash up. As for Lin Bai, he received preferential treatment. He didn¡¯t have to go to class. He could just write novels in the dormitory. The Dean even specially sent someone to deliver food to him. The three meals a day were very exquisite. Lin Bai returned the favor and wrote more moves in the novel. He also gave the Body Tempering Pills to Li Tongwu and the Dean. Lin Bai watched as Li Tongwu consumed the Body Tempering Pills and raised his eyebrows at him. ¡°Li Tongwu, how is it? Do you feel alright?¡± Li Tongwu¡¯s face was rosy, and his eyes were sharp. He looked very energetic. He was originally a little tired from the training but had recovered his vitality fully after taking the pills. ¡°Lin Bai! Your Body Tempering Pills are too magical. I feel very good after I consumed them. It was as if I was a different person!¡± ¡°I think I can still run dozens of kilometers now!¡± Li Tongwu looked eager to try. His younger brother, Li Tongwen, also looked excited. Even Wei Qing, who had relatively poorer health in the dormitory, felt a little comfortable. He seemed to have become much younger and stronger all of a sudden. It was even more effective than training! Lin Bai smiled in satisfaction. It seemed that the Body Tempering Pills worked on others as well. Perhaps he could buy them in the future? If a Body Tempering Pill could unleash such a huge effect, wouldn¡¯t the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pills be even better? Lin Bai¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of excitement. It seemed that the readers of the Myriad World were all extraordinary. They could actually reward such a generous item. ¡°You guys study hard for the next two days. You might be the first to cash up.¡± ¡°The Dean asked me to form a team. Perhaps you can enter too.¡± Li Tongwu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Okay, okay, okay! Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t disappoint you!¡± ¡°Yes, Lin Bai, don¡¯t worry!¡± Everyone in the dormitory responded in unison and immediately turned on their phones to scroll through the novels. Lin Bai smiled. He actually hoped that the people in the dormitory could cash up in advance. They were more familiar with each other and would be easier to work with. But to Lin Bai¡¯s surprise, the first to cash up was their Chief Instructor, Wu Yue. Wu Yue was the first to look for him! Then, Wei Feng and Li Tongwu made the cash up. Lin Bai felt that there were still too few people, so he slowed down. During this period, he did not forget to continue writing. His first two books were also made into animation. The Heavenly Dao Record was thrilling and exciting. The scenes were grand and life-like. It immediately attracted many readers who were reading the Heavenly Dao Record. There were even people who cashed up by watching Heavenly Dao Record. As for his first novel, the girl beside the sycamore tree, had once again firmly occupied the top spot on the Erotica Book Ranking because of its animation. It had even attracted new readers. Lin Bai received a lot of rewards from this. He even cashed up the martial arts in the Heavenly Dao Record. Lin Bai uploaded the manuscript of his new book. He had to make time for training. Lin Bai immediately sent out a full month¡¯s worth of saved manuscripts, and stopped the plot when the protagonist completed the mission and realized that his friend was an imposter. This would definitely pique the readers¡¯ interest! What everyone wanted to see was how the protagonist would expose the imposter and make the imposter pay the price! The reading volume would definitely not be low with this cliffhanger. Perhaps he would receive an even greater surprise when he finished training. Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Bang, bang, bang!¡± The door of the dormitory was almost banged down. Lin Bai subconsciously raised his head and looked out of the window. The sun was blazing outside, and the greenery was everywhere. It was time for training. Who would come looking for him? Shouldn¡¯t they be training now? Lin Bai pondered as he opened the door. ¡°Secretary? What brings you here?¡± Lin Bai frowned. Could it be that there was a problem with the formation of the team? The secretary¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. She said to Lin Bai impatiently, ¡°The Dean asked me to tell you that there are a lot of people making cash up! They¡¯re all waiting in the training room. The Dean wants you to choose the members personally!¡± Lin Bai was slightly surprised. Was it because there were too many people watching and reading his works over the past few days so the speed of cash up and the number of people had also increased? ¡°Alright, wait a moment. I¡¯ll change my clothes.¡± Lin Bai changed into a white shirt and wore sandals before going over seeing that the sun was too bright outside. The door of the training room was slightly open and Wu Yue¡¯s voice could be heard from inside. ¡°Alright, everyone, don¡¯t be noisy! Just wait for Captain Lin to come!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll join you in the selection.¡± Wu Yue¡¯s voice was calm and intimidating, causing the training room to fall silent. Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Dean, Chief Instructor.¡± As soon as Lin Bai entered, he walked towards the two of them. The Dean looked up at Lin Bai with a smile and patted his shoulder. ¡°You¡¯re here? Come and take a look first. Everyone here has cashed up.¡± ¡°Let them show you the results?¡± Lin Bai raised his head and glanced at the people in the training room. Most of the people in the training room were young students. There were also instructors in military uniforms and even a few teachers teaching theoretical classes. Lin Bai had already thought of the selection method. He nodded at the Dean. ¡°Dean, let them split into groups and fight one-on-one.¡± ¡°You can only use the cashed up martial arts and not anything else.¡± ¡°If you win, there is a possibility for you to form a team with me.¡± After Lin Bai finished speaking, he looked around. ¡°Dean, Chief Instructor, what do you think?¡± This was the fairest method Lin Bai could think of. The Dean only nodded with admiration in his eyes. ¡°Alright! We¡¯ll do as you say!¡± Everyone spontaneously divided into several groups as soon as he finished speaking. Each group had one winner. There were only about 20 people left in the training room after a few rounds. Lin Bai asked them to compete again. One after another. At the end of the competition, there were only six people left. Other than the Li brothers, Li Tongwu, Wu Yue, and Wei Feng, there were two instructors and one student. These three people were called Song Tao, Lin Xi, and Zhang Haishan. Song Tao and Lin Xi were personally taught by Wu Yue. They did not take the Body Tempering Pills, but they relied on their cashed up martial arts to win against everyone. As for Zhang Haishan, according to the Dean, he was the most outstanding student in this batch. Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at the remaining seven people in front of him. His eyes lit up slightly. ¡°I still have to ask, are you all willing to become members of the team?¡± ¡°The Dean ordered me to form a team, so the people in my team have to listen to the rules I set no matter what.¡± ¡°Are you agreeable?¡± Lin Bai¡¯s eyes were serious. He did not want a group of people who did not listen to him. Moreover, there was even an instructor amongst them. Chapter 26 - Training Commences! Chapter 26 Training Commences! Lin Bai¡¯s gaze was very serious. He stared intently at everyone¡¯s eyes, wanting to see if they were unwilling. He did not have much reputation now after all. These people had never seen his ability before either. Moreover, these people were all dragons and phoenixes among men. They would probably be a little dissatisfied. They were silent for a moment. ¡°Lin Bai! No, Captain Lin, Tongwen and I will definitely follow you wherever you go!¡± ¡°We are agreeable to everything you say!¡± However, Li Tongwu was different from everyone else. He seemed very proactive. He was Lin Bai¡¯s roommate after all. He did not think that Lin Bai was just an ordinary person who had struck gold! Lin Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Yue and Wei Feng. Wu Yue turned to look at Song Tao and Lin Xi. He said indifferently to Lin Bai, ¡°Of course we¡¯re willing.¡± After Wu Yue said that, Song Tao and the others echoed. Lin Bai instantly saw through it. The two of them even had some opinions about him. However, he did not care. Time was the best proof after all. ¡°Dean, I only need seven people. If there are too many people, it will be detrimental to training.¡± The Dean naturally had no objections. ¡°As for the others, I¡¯ll let them practice by themselves first.¡± The Dean patted him on the shoulder, indicating for him to stay here and bring the other unrelated people out. For a moment, only Lin Bai and the others were left in the training room. The seven of them looked at each other speechlessly. Lin Bai touched his nose. ¡°Chief¡­ Chief Instructor Wu.¡± Wu Yue turned slightly and said indifferently, ¡°Captain Lin, just call me Wu Yue.¡± ¡°What instructions do you have? How do we train? We¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Wu Yue was very decisive and went straight to the point. Seeing this, Lin Bai skipped the small talk and turned on his phone. ¡°This is the training method I envisioned. I know that you have all experienced the war of Origin Beasts, so I want to ask you to classify the Origin Beasts based on your experience first. Their difficulty level.¡± ¡°This way, we can also have combat experience if we receive a mission.¡± Lin Bai raised his head and looked at Wu Yue. ¡°Can you do it?¡± Wu Yue raised his head and looked at Lin Bai in surprise. ¡°Of course. I can sort it out tonight.¡± Lin Bai smiled. ¡°Then we¡¯ll start training tomorrow. We¡¯ll start with the Origin Beasts that are the easiest to deal with. I¡¯ll transform into them.¡± ¡°You guys will attack me. Putting aside your previous experiences and use your cash up skill to deal with me.¡± After saying that, Lin Bai waved at them. ¡°Rest well when you go back today. We¡¯ll gather here tomorrow.¡± Wei Feng and Wu Yue exchanged glances. ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll go back first.¡± Wei Feng paused and called out to Lin Bai, ¡°Captain.¡± Lin Bai immediately felt a little helpless. He actually didn¡¯t pay much attention to the title of captain. Only Li Tongwu and his brother followed Lin Bai after the others left. Li Tongwu¡¯s voice was filled with comfort. ¡°Lin Bai, they¡¯re like this because they don¡¯t know how powerful you are. ¡°That¡¯s right. Instructor Wei and Chief Instructor Wu already approve of you. They even called you Captain!¡± Lin Bai paused and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Won¡¯t we know tomorrow? The most important thing now is training. I heard from the Dean that the next wave of Origin Beasts is not far away!¡± He could not let his stable writing life be disturbed! Thinking of this, Lin Bai became even more concerned about this matter. Wu Yue also worked very fast. He directly sent the classification of the Origin Beasts to Lin Bai. Lin Bai looked through them and realized that these Origin Beasts were actually similar to the animals in the previous world. However, the beasts here were more ferocious and bigger in size. They even possessed Origin Energy. The stronger the Origin Energy, the harder it was to deal with. Lin Bai frowned. However, even the weakest Origin Beasts had caused many human casualties according to the information. Lin Bai inexplicably thought of the Origin Beasts outside the window of his rented house. His heart skipped a beat. This city is not safe! Lin Bai sighed. The night passed. When Lin Bai went to the training room, everyone was already here. Wei Feng and Wu Yue were standing at the front. When they saw Lin Bai, they went up to him and addressed him as Captain. Lin Bai felt a little uncomfortable hearing the two instructors calling him Captain. He felt a little helpless. ¡°Just call me Lin Bai. We¡¯re all on the same team. Just listen to me when you¡¯re on the move.¡± He waved his hand, and everyone gathered together. ¡°I have to say this first. You have to listen to Wu Yue if I¡¯m not around. If Wu Yue isn¡¯t around, listen to Wei Feng.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a saying that a general out on the battlefield is most apprised of the situation. You can decide your own code of action if there is an emergency!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to wait for me. Alright, now I¡¯m going to transform into this.¡± He pointed to the photo on his phone¡¯s screen. ¡°This Origin Rabbit should be best at speed.¡± ¡°But its attack power is not strong.¡± Wu Yue added as soon as Lin Bai finished speaking. ¡°The Origin Rabbit we¡¯ve seen in the past two years has a stronger attack power than before. Its bite is stronger.¡± Lin Bai nodded after Wu Yue finished speaking. ¡°Then let¡¯s start now. I¡¯ll transform first.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into an Origin Rabbit and pounced at the person beside him before anyone could react. Wu Yue dodged to the side and punched out. However, the others were not as fast and vigilant as Wu Yue. Wei Feng fell to the ground, but he quickly reacted and used his superpower to teleport a few meters away, barely dodging the bigger attack. However, the others were not as vigilant as Wei Feng and Wu Yue. Perhaps because they had no experience in fighting enemies. ¡°Bam!¡± Zhang Haishan was the first to fall to the ground, followed by Li Tongwu and his brother with a heavy blow. Wei Feng and Wu Yue could no longer withstand the attacks in just a few minutes. Lin Bai frowned slightly. He retracted his hand and recovered. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a 10 minutes break. Come back after 10 minutes!¡± Lin Bai did not give them much time to catch their breath. The training continued again and again until late at night. Zhang Haishan¡¯s face was slightly pale. He was supported by Li Tongwu, and his voice towards Lin Bai was a little hoarse. ¡°Captain Lin, I don¡¯t understand what¡¯s the use of this! You don¡¯t teach us anything and keep asking us to fight!¡± Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Haishan. He said calmly, ¡°Of course it¡¯s useful. You didn¡¯t even last a second the first time, but you can already start to react the second time.¡± ¡°I asked you to keep fighting because you weren¡¯t familiar with each other before. You can only get along with each other through fighting.¡± ¡°Only then are you able to cooperate with each other.¡± Lin Bai carefully studied his face and saw that he was sweating profusely. He casually threw him the Body Tempering Pills. ¡°You¡¯ll feel much better after taking the Body Tempering Pills!¡± Chapter 27 - Attack From The Back Mountain! Chapter 27 Attack From The Back Mountain! Zhang Haishan was slightly stunned. He took the Body Tempering Pills with a complicated expression. However, he did not say anything. He turned slightly towards Lin Bai and followed Wei Feng and Wu Yue out. Li Tongwu frowned unhappily. ¡°What kind of person is he? Why is he so arrogant even after you gave him a pill?¡± Lin Bai did not care. He patted Li Tongwu¡¯s shoulder and said softly to him, ¡°Alright, take it slow. If I¡¯m not in a hurry, why should you be?¡± Li Tongwu felt indignant for Lin Bai. ¡°Zhang Haishan is usually arrogant. I guess he¡¯s not convinced that you¡¯re the Captain of the team!¡± Li Tongwen tugged at Li Tongwu¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Big Brother, Lin Bai is hungry even if you are not. Let¡¯s go eat quickly!¡± The school canteen was open 24 hours a day. The food inside was warm all year round. It had everything, and they were all high-calorie food, afraid that everyone would go hungry. The body was the capital of everything after all. When Li Tongwu heard this, he revealed an embarrassed expression. ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat!¡± Lin Bai smiled to himself and nodded at Li Tongwu before following the two of them out. The campus was very quiet in the middle of the night. The breeze blew past, but it made people feel a faint sense of unease. Lin Bai frowned and subconsciously glanced at the sky. However, the sky was very quiet. The stars lit up half the sky, and the starlight scattered down cleanly. Everything seemed to be safe and sound. Li Tongwu looked at Lin Bai in confusion and turned to him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Bai paused. ¡°Don¡¯t you think there¡¯s something else?¡± Lin Bai¡¯s tone was a little subtle. His eyes searched the surroundings, trying to find other clues. Li Tongwu was baffled. ¡°Lin Bai, this is a school. It¡¯s the safest place in the school! Don¡¯t worry, there shouldn¡¯t be too many problems.¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, the academy has never been attacked before. The academy has a high level of protection.¡± Lin Bai was slightly relieved when he heard this. He had been in the academy for so long and had indeed been very safe. Li Tongwu and Li Tongwen pulled Lin Bai¡¯s arm and smiled brightly at him. ¡°I think you¡¯re just too worried! Are you too tired from training us previously?¡± Lin Bai smiled at Li Tongwu. ¡°No, I must have seen it wrongly. Let¡¯s go eat early.¡± Wei Qing was already waiting for them in the canteen. He even specially bought food for them and looked at Lin Bai expectantly. ¡°Boss, I saw Zhang Haishan just now. He had a dark expression and ignored everyone. He went to the back mountain.¡± ¡°Why do you think he went to the back of the mountain in the middle of the night? Aren¡¯t everyone tired from the training?¡± Li Tongwu looked up at Wei Qing and sneered at him. ¡°I¡¯m so tired! I don¡¯t care about him!¡± Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. ¡°When did you see him go to the back of the mountain?¡± As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, he heard a loud roar from outside! BOOM! Lin Bai suddenly raised his head and rushed out without thinking. His gaze followed the direction of the voice. It was the territory of the back mountain. Li Tongwu and the others also came out and looked at the back mountain in fear. ¡°Didn¡¯t Zhang Haishan go to the back of the mountain?¡± Lin Bai said in a low voice, ¡°Wei Qing, go find the Dean and the others. Tongwu, follow me. Remember, focus.¡± ¡°You can use whatever you trained with today!¡± Lin Bai guessed that these were probably Origin Beasts. The back mountain was the weak point of the academy. Lin Bai thought as he transformed into an eagle and flew towards the back of the mountain. The transformation technique he obtained could transform him into any living creature, not limited to humans. Lin Bai flew into the air and looked down to see an incomparably huge Origin Rabbit pouncing towards a weak figure. That figure would have been torn to pieces if he was a second late! Lin Bai did not have time to think. He activated the incantation and smashed towards the Origin Beast with a thought. That was mental control. This Origin Rabbit was completely unprepared and let out an irritated and painful shout. Lin Bai single-handedly picked up the person who was attacked by the Origin Rabbit. ¡°Zhang Haishan, are you alright?¡± Lin Bai lowered his head and looked at the pale-faced youth, who was filled with fear. His clothes were torn, and he looked extremely disheveled. He only reacted when he heard Lin Bai¡¯s words. He turned his eyes slightly. ¡°I-¡± The Origin Rabbit rushed towards them angrily before he could finish speaking. Every step made a heavy buzzing sound, as if even the muddy mountain path was trembling. Zhang Haishan¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he could not even stand steadily. However, Lin Bai was very stable. His expression did not change. He pushed Zhang Haishan away and raised his hand. One more move directly defeated the Origin Rabbit. At this moment, Li Tongwu and the others also rushed over. Lin Bai quickly threw out a fist again before the Origin Rabbit could react! BOOM! Smoke and dust rose everywhere immediately, and fog covered the surroundings. Lin Bai was almost hidden in the smoke, so no one could see him clearly. ¡°Lin Bai!¡± Li Tongwu was so anxious that he almost fainted. However, his path was blocked and he could not reach him at all. Wu Yue¡¯s expression was as calm as water as he spoke to Li Tongwu. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t be of any help! Don¡¯t go up!¡± He kept looking in Lin Bai¡¯s direction. BOOM! Another heavy wail sounded, making one feel a chill. The smoke suddenly dissipated, and Lin Bai suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He was bending over, his gaze fixed on the Origin Beast¡¯ corpse that he had already beaten into a pile of mud. He frowned slightly. ¡°This thing is so disgusting!¡± It was like a ball of paste that completely exceeded Lin Bai¡¯s imagination. When Wu Yue saw Lin Bai, his eyes lit up. He immediately shook off Li Tongwu and strode towards Lin Bai. ¡°Lin Bai, how do you feel now?¡± There was a hint of indifference in Lin Bai¡¯s eyes. He pointed at the corpse of the Origin Rabbit and said to them, ¡°This is very simple. I can settle it alone.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± He raised an eyebrow at Wu Yue. ¡°Did you notice anything unusual when you left the training room?¡± Wu Yue¡¯s expression was rather ugly. His tone was solemn, but it was very magnanimous. ¡°Wei Feng and I were negligent. We thought the academy would be the safest place now.¡± ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect the Origin Beasts to come in from the back of the mountain.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already sent people to search the back mountain to see if there are any other dangers lurking.¡± Lin Bai nodded. ¡°Get someone to clean this up. Maybe we can give it to people in the laboratory for research.¡± A look of joy flashed across his eyes as his voice lit up slightly towards Wu Yue. ¡°I might have found the Origin Beasts¡¯ weakness!¡± Chapter 28 - Taking The Initiative To Attack! Attack The Origin Beasts! Chapter 28 Taking The Initiative To Attack! Attack The Origin Beasts! Wu Yue and Wei Feng widened their eyes as soon as Lin Bai finished speaking. ¡°You found their collective weakness from a Origin Rabbit?¡± Lin Bai nodded calmly and said indifferently to Wu Yue. ¡°This is not the place to discuss. Where¡¯s the Dean?¡± The Dean rushed over, panting. There were still fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his voice towards Lin Bai was a little unstable. ¡°I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here! Let¡¯s talk in the Dean¡¯s office where it is the safest!¡± Everything in the Dean¡¯s office was of the highest level of security, at least in this academy! Lin Bai did not say anything else and said softly to Wu Yue, ¡°Call our team over! I have a plan!¡± Wu Yue lowered his head and agreed. He called his subordinates to escort the other students back to the dormitory to prevent anything from happening again. Then, he went to the Dean¡¯s office with Wei Feng and the rest. Lin Bai was talking to the Dean. ¡°Yes, mind control. They seem to be unprepared for this.¡± ¡°We can use this. Moreover, I used the illusion technique in the special technique to attack the Origin Rabbit Beast¡¯s eyes! Then, it turned into what you saw.¡± ¡°I suspect that its eyes are its weakness!¡± The Dean¡¯s heart sank slightly. ¡°There were indeed reports saying that their movements will slow down and their strength will weaken if we attack their eyes. It¡¯s more effective than attacking their hearts.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s hard for their eyes to-¡± Lin Bai raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. ¡°Dean, we have special techniques now!¡± The Dean¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable joy immediately rose in his heart. He looked at Lin Bai in disbelief. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Lin Bai moved slightly. He heard the footsteps of Wu Yue and the others and glanced out of the door. ¡°Dean, Instructor Wu and the rest are here.¡± ¡°I have a plan I¡¯d like to discuss with you.¡± Wu Yue and the others walked in and looked at Lin Bai together. ¡°What plan?¡± A hint of curiosity flashed across the Dean¡¯s eyes. Lin Bai¡¯s eyes darted around, revealing a slightly excited expression. ¡°The Origin Beasts have already come to test the waters. We can¡¯t just sit here and wait for their next wave of attacks!¡± ¡°I want to lead a small team to sneak attack their nest!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see how many of them are hiding around us!¡± The feeling of waiting passively for the next wave of attack was really not good. Especially when they could only wait for them to come! There was immediate silence as soon as Lin Bai finished speaking. Wu Yue raised his head with difficulty and his tone was a little dry. ¡°Lin Bai, aren¡¯t you being a little too rash¡­¡± ¡°Even the most elite troops in the city don¡¯t dare to enter the nest of the Origin Beasts. We will be discovered as soon as we step in.¡± Lin Bai blinked. ¡°Instructor Wu, have you forgotten? We have a special technique now. We can transform.¡± ¡°Origin Beasts don¡¯t have a very sensitive sense of smell. We can sneak in as long as we use the corpse of the Origin Rabbit.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen the information. There¡¯s a king in every group of Origin Beasts. This group of Origin Beasts will kill each other for the position of leader as long as we can kill their current king!¡± ¡°When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to deal with them when both sides are injured. We will definitely destroy the Origin Beasts completely.¡± ¡°They usually move in groups. Now that we¡¯ve discovered an Origin Beast, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s a group of them secretly preparing to deal with us!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to pay a greater price to protect the students if we wait for them to attack.¡± Wu Yue fell silent immediately. Lin Bai was not in a hurry. He spelled out their advantages word by word. ¡°Origin Beasts are usually nocturnal. They¡¯re not used to the sunlight, which will hinder their vision.¡± ¡°We can use this to create strong light and interfere with their movements.¡± He pulled out a talisman from his clothes as he spoke. His fingers moved slightly, and the talisman paper suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light. There were even some crackling sounds. It was obvious that Lin Bai had deliberately controlled it. Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. ¡°How is it? I can¡¯t cause a big commotion in the Dean¡¯s office, but I can still get some more talismans.¡± ¡°The Instructor and the Dean still have to make a decision early.¡± Lin Bai knew very well that even though he had formed a team, he still could not completely make decisions on these important matters without actual achievements. Wu Yue had been through hundreds of battles, and the Dean was the highest authority in the school. Only then could they decide on their first operation. The Dean and Wu Yue exchanged glances. The Dean raised his head and looked at Lin Bai. His gaze was fixed on Lin Bai¡¯s finger. ¡°Alright! Go!¡± ¡°But prioritize your own safety! Retreat in a timely fashion if you encounter danger. I¡¯ll send someone to receive you.¡± He reached out and pressed a button on the landline, instructing his secretary to prepare. ¡°When do you plan to leave?¡± Lin Bai looked up at the Dean and enunciated each word clearly. ¡°Tomorrow morning! I want to deal with them at noon when the sun is at its highest!¡± His tone was very arrogant, but for some reason, the Dean felt that he could do it. The Dean nodded solemnly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send someone to pick you up. Be careful.¡± Li Tongwu and the others were still in a daze. They had only trained for a day, and they were already going to take action? However, Lin Bai looked very confident. He even asked them to rest early. Zhang Haishan looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have a way to let everyone return safely even if we can¡¯t break through in one go.¡± After saying that, Lin Bai left without caring about the reactions of the others. Li Tongwu and his brother quickly chased after him. The next morning, Li Tongwu and his brother arrived earlier than Lin Baiqi. The two of them guarded Lin Bai¡¯s bed with worried expressions. Lin Bai was shocked when he opened his eyes. ¡°What are you doing!¡± Li Tongwu hesitated for a moment and looked at Lin Bai¡¯s tone with determination. ¡°Lin Bai, Tongwen and I thought about it. We¡¯ll support you no matter what you do!¡± ¡°We believe in you!¡± Lin Bai didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that Li Tongwu and the others were worried about him. Lin Bai blinked and patted Li Tongwu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Lin Bai washed up and brought Li Tongwu and the others to the school gate. Wu Yue and the other two arrived soon after. The seven of them took advantage of the rising sun and walked out of the back mountain. Wu Yue¡¯s tone was solemn. ¡°I checked last night. The Origin Rabbit came from the Tong River at the back of the mountain. We¡¯ll reach Mount Puming after crossing Tong River. Mount Puming is abnormally steep. This batch of Origin Beasts should be hiding in the depths of the mountains, intending to cross the river to attack the academy.¡± Chapter 29 - Let Them Kill Each Other! Chapter 29 Let Them Kill Each Other! Faint roars sounded from afar as though it was trying to prove Wu Yue¡¯s words as soon as he finished speaking. Wei Feng and him looked up at the same time, their faces as dark as water. ¡°Captain, it looks like we¡¯re almost there.¡± The scorching sun shone on the ground, roasting every creature on the ground. It seemed abnormally equal. Lin Bai¡¯s face was calm, and his lips curled into a faint smile. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the right time? It¡¯s almost noon! The sun will be at its peak!¡± Wu Yue felt uneasy. This was beyond his imagination after all. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look first and see how many of them there are.¡± Wu Yue looked at Lin Bai as if he was asking for his opinion. Lin Bai paused. He knew what Wu Yue meant. Wu Yue was afraid that they would be in danger. He might be the team leader in name but Wu Yue seemed to still treated him as a student. Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue and smiled faintly at him. ¡°Instructor Wu, I¡¯ll go.¡± ¡°Give me 10 minutes. You can contact the rescue team if I don¡¯t come back in 10 minutes.¡± ¡°You guys hide here first. Don¡¯t come out no matter what you hear!¡± Wu Yue wanted to retort instinctively. However, Lin Bai patted his shoulder. His eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts. ¡°Instructor Wu, I¡¯ll go take a look. You¡¯ll be in charge of commanding them.¡± Wu Yue paused, knowing that Lin Bai meant to remind him that there were others with them. Li Tongwu and the others were also students. Wu Yue did not say anything else and merely nodded. Lin Bai smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Remember, it¡¯s only 10 minutes. I¡¯ll be back in 10 minutes!¡± After saying that, he walked towards the source of the roars without looking back. A moment later, a ferocious beast appeared from the grass and rushed over. That was Lin Bai¡¯s transformation into an Origin Rabbit. He carefully approached the herd. The closer he got to the herd, the more deafening the sound became, which could probably topple people over. Lin Bai¡¯s heart sank. He raised his eyes and looked over. The tide-like beasts were resting around the pole fire last night, as if they were very tired from the battle. The empty space between the mountain gorges was contaminated by the aura of the beasts. An indescribable smell rushed straight to Lin Bai¡¯s nose. Lin Bai found it extremely unbearable. He hunched his back and carefully blended into the herd of beasts. ¡°Howl¡­¡± A huge Origin Tiger Beast widened its lantern-sized eyes and looked at Lin Bai. It was very vigilant and spat when it saw Lin Bai. Lin Bai was confused for a moment, but he was not worried about his transformation. He had specially smeared the aura of the Origin Rabbit on himself before he came after all. ¡°Why are you back so late! Were you discovered when you went to the school?¡± Lin Bai¡¯s eyes flashed. These beasts could actually speak human language! However, it did not seem to be in the records. It was not proficient in the language and even sounded a little crude. ¡°I want to see the King! These humans are too cunning. I almost couldn¡¯t come back!¡± Lin Bai sounded exasperated. ¡°But I got some other information!¡± The Origin Tiger Beast¡¯s intelligence didn¡¯t seem to be too high. It didn¡¯t say anything hearing that, only leaning closer to Lin Bai and looking up at him. Lin Bai flashed slightly. ¡°Where is the king?¡± The Origin Tiger Beast raised its claws, its eyes filled with greed and fear. It pointed in the direction of the cave. Lin Bai took a look and immediately slipped in. Only the beast kings resided in the cave on the high platform. This cave was wide and spacious, and the surroundings emitted a faint green light that shone into the depths. The cold and damp water vapor made Lin Bai tremble. The deeper he went, the stranger the cave became. The water-soluble ice pillars emitted a magical halo, making Lin Bai inexplicably feel uneasy and frustrated. His intuition told him that there was something wrong with these icicles. Lin Bai soon arrived in front of the beast king¡¯s cave after advancing quickly. A small beast rushed in and came out in a hurry. It nodded at Lin Bai and opened its mouth silently. Lin Bai followed it in and saw a robust and tall Origin Monkey. This monkey beast had long fur all over its body, and its eyes were wide open. Its cheeks seemed to have been smeared with rouge. It looked at Lin Bai coldly. ¡°School! How did it go?¡± Lin Bai choked. ¡°There are many guards in the school. I went over from the back of the mountain and caught a student. I was forced to retreat before I could interrogate him.¡± ¡°I hid at the side and heard them say that they want to attack tonight and annihilate us in one fell swoop!¡± Lin Bai¡¯s words infuriated the Origin Monkey Beast. The monkey beast immediately shattered the stone chair with a slap! BOOM! Lin Bai revealed a little fear. ¡°My King, what should we do now?¡± He asked testingly The Origin Monkey harrumphed coldly. It mumbled something in beast language that Lin Bai couldn¡¯t understand. It became even angrier seeing that Lin Bai didn¡¯t move at all. Then, a gust of wind blew. Lin Bai fell out of the cave and grabbed the little beast guarding the door with a frightened expression. ¡°What does the King want! It¡¯s too scary. I didn¡¯t listen carefully just now!¡± The little beast snorted. ¡°The king said to gather the troops! We¡¯ll attack the school tonight and annihilate these damned humans in one fell swoop! Let them all become our food!¡± The little beastie¡¯s eyes emitted a bloodthirsty and excited light. Lin Bai immediately found an excuse and immediately left the cave, quietly circling around. He returned to his original form and looked at the time. There were still two minutes to go! He had to hurry back! Wu Yue¡¯s hand that was about to make a call stopped in mid-air as soon as Lin Bai arrived. He heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Bai indifferently. ¡°How is it? Have you found the beast king?¡± Lin Bai nodded. He looked around and spoke crisply to everyone. ¡°I saw it. This is just a small herd of beasts. There are only a few dozen of them!¡± ¡°The Beast King is an Origin Monkey. I also discovered that they can speak human language! It¡¯s just that they aren¡¯t very good at it yet.¡± Lin Bai frowned slightly and looked at Wu Yue and Wei Feng. ¡°Instructor Wu, when you faced the beasts previously, did you hear them speak in human language?¡± Wu Yue was stunned. ¡°No! We¡¯re almost fighting all the way!¡± They only wanted to annihilate them or protect the civilians every time they encountered a herd of beasts. Where would he find the time to pay attention to whether these beasts could speak human language? Wu Yue frowned tightly. It would be very troublesome if they were already speaking the human language. Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue. ¡°It¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll have a way to deal with them in the future now that we know.¡± ¡°The Origin Beast King has given the order to attack the school tonight.¡± ¡°We have to kill the Beast King before noon and let them kill each other today!¡± Chapter 30 - Killing The Beast King! The Hierarchy Of The Beasts Collapse! Chapter 30 Killing The Beast King! The Hierarchy Of The Beasts Collapse! Lin Bai looked up with a determined glint in his eyes and his expression turned serious towards Wu Yue and the others. ¡°You must listen to my every order now!¡± ¡°Instructor Wu, Instructor Wei, and Classmate Zhang, attack the Origin Beasts. Remember, don¡¯t fight them to death. Just disturb them!¡± ¡°Tongwu and Tongwen, use incarnations to create the sound of firecrackers. You must be louder than the Origin Beasts!¡± He took out the earplugs he had prepared from his pocket as he spoke. ¡°I made this myself. It can block out the noise so you won¡¯t be affected by the firecrackers.¡± ¡°Remember, don¡¯t let them have the time to react!¡± ¡°Retreat immediately after you¡¯re done. We can¡¯t continue fighting to the death! Retreat to a safe location and wait!¡± Lin Bai enunciated each word in detail. Wu Yue and the others nodded in unison. Then, Wu Yue looked at Lin Bai with a complicated expression, his tone inexplicably heavy. ¡°Do you want to fight the Beast King alone?¡± Lin Bai blinked. He looked at Wu Yue. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I just want to test how powerful this Origin Beast King is.¡± ¡°Moreover, this is only a small herd of beasts!¡± Lin Bai did not wait for Wu Yue and the others to speak. He only looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. The sun was scorching and the ground was burning. It made people feel inexplicably irritated. Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue and smiled at him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s do it.¡± Lin Bai put his hands in his pockets and took out a talisman. He reached out and snapped his fingers at the talisman, and it immediately lit up. ¡°Do you remember? You must use the incarnation together.¡± ¡°Tongwu, your mental strength alone is not enough. You have to use it at the same time!¡± Li Tongwu and Li Tongwen immediately nodded, looking extremely serious. Lin Bai heaved a sigh of relief and brought the few of them to where the pack of beasts were. The beasts were noisy, but the sunlight was too strong, so they had no choice but to fall asleep. For a moment, only the rumbling of the beasts could be heard, causing the ground to tremble slightly. The little beast guarding the entrance of the cave was eyeing them covetously, but its eyes were half-closed. It was obvious that it was extremely relaxed. Perhaps they had never expected humans to be so bold! How dare they barge into their territory without permission! Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he gestured to everyone. Wei Feng and Wu Yue immediately understood and took a few steps back with Li Tongwu and the others. A moment later, Li Tongwu and Li Tongwen lit up the talismans at the same time. They chanted an incantation and ignited the talismans before throwing them into the middle of the beasts. Crack! Crack! ¡°Bang! Bang!¡± The increasingly intense explosions woke up the entire herd of beasts, and they appeared to be in a panic. Their voices roared, and their lantern eyes widened as they scanned their surroundings. However, the sunlight and the huge light deliberately created by Li Tongwu and the others prevented the beasts from seeing anything. Their eyes were not used to the light! Wu Yue and Wei Feng rushed in immediately. BANG! The beasts panicked and moved their huge bodies with difficulty, their gazes could not lock onto Wei Feng and Wu Yue¡¯s agile figures. Wu Yue would hide far away before they could reach him. Li Tongwu and Li Tongwen kept creating noise and light to defeat the beasts. Lin Bai flashed into the cave. He glanced at the restless Origin Monkey in the depths of the cave. ¡°Humans! Shameless!¡± Lin Bai sneered. ¡°Even a beast can speak human language? Then you should know what Western Heaven means, right?¡± How could the Origin Monkey endure such anger? Its scarlet eyes shot straight at Lin Bai. Lin Bai immediately dodged to the side and leaped to the side of the Origin Monkey! He reached out and grabbed the Origin Monkey as he chanted an incantation in his heart. A powerful ray of light descended and whipped the Origin Monkey to the ground. The Origin Monkey let out a furious roar, causing the mud in the cave to fall. The cave shook non-stop, as though it was about to collapse at any moment. However, Lin Bai still stood firmly where he was. His expression did not change at all. He raised a hand slightly and rushed in front of the ape beast! Body Technique and the Dragon Subduing Tiger Fist! The Origin Monkey that had been knocked down by Mental Strength was immediately flipped into the sky with one move. It grabbed weakly in the air and let out a terrified scream! The sound was deafening, but Lin Bai, who had earplugs on in advance, was not affected at all. However, the little beast that was trembling in the cave was shocked by the cry and spat out blood before dying! Lin Bai did not know at all. He only reached out and grabbed the beast and smashing it to the ground again. He directly stabbed his middle finger into the ape beast¡¯s eye! ¡°Pfft!¡± Blood immediately splashed all over Lin Bai¡¯s face. The sticky and strange color was very translucent. It was white with a faint hint of blue. Following that, the Origin Monkey gradually melted, turning into a thin and exaggerated monkey skin. It was exactly the same as the Origin Rabbit last night! Lin Bai immediately felt very disgusted. He endured the sourness in his stomach and walked out with the monkey skin in his hand in disdain. Wei Feng and the others were still killing Origin Beasts. ¡°The Beast King is dead!¡± Lin Bai¡¯s voice was as loud as a bell! The beasts let out a series of manic and uneasy cries as he actually let the monkey skin fall to the ground. Their faces were filled with suspicion and vigilance. They looked at their companion who had fought alongside them just now with hostility. Wu Yue, Wei Feng, and Zhang Haishan had already received orders. They immediately retreated and met up with the Li brothers when they saw Lin Bai emerge. BOOM! Lin Bai¡¯s estimation was not wrong! The beasts did not care about them at all! They began to fight each other, as if they would become true beast kings in the next moment! However, it was daytime! Lin Bai stopped fighting and met up with Wei Feng and the others seeing that they had fallen into internal strife. This was the first time Wu Yue and Wei Feng had seen such a scene and they were all stunned by it. They looked at Lin Bai in disbelief. ¡°Lin¡­ Captain, how did you know?¡± Lin Bai smiled and said to Wu Yue and Wei Feng in a relaxed tone. ¡°I guessed.¡± After saying that, Lin Bai raised his eyebrows at Wu Yue and Wei Feng. ¡°Haven¡¯t you seen it before?¡± Such a scene¡­ Wu Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he said in a hoarse voice, ¡°We¡¯ve never been to their nest before, much less killed a beast king successfully!¡± This was the first! Lin Bai paused. It seemed that humans were at a disadvantage in the war between humans and Origin Beasts! The Origin Beasts had already learned how to speak the human language but humans did not even understand their basic habits! ¡°Light up fires and throw them into the beast crowds!¡± Lin Bai said to Li Tongwu and Li Tongwen when he looked up and saw that they were almost done fighting. Chapter 31 - You Can Have Anything You Want! Chapter 31 You Can Have Anything You Want! Li Tongwu and his brother did not dare to be negligent and did as they were told as soon as Lin Bai finished speaking. The beasts were unable to fight back in that instant. They were already fighting crazily for the position of Beast King and were already covered in injuries. Li Tongwu and the others were also attacking from afar, so this group of Origin Beasts had no way of going forward. This was because every Origin Beast that was burned by the flames would be mercilessly attacked by the Origin Beasts beside them! Killing each other would only lead to the ultimate destruction! Lin Bai¡¯s face darkened, but a determined smile appeared on his lips. He had really overestimated this group of Origin Beasts. He thought that they would at least react and attack them. However, he did not expect that the Origin Beasts would treat the fight for the position of Beast King as the biggest deal and did not even bother about the enemy. Lin Bai vaguely felt that perhaps the intelligence of these Origin Beasts was not very high. He pondered for a while. It seemed that he had to ask the Dean when he got back. ¡°All right! Now we can go down. We might even catch a few seriously injured ones alive.¡± Capture Origin Beasts alive? A look of shock appeared on Wu Yue¡¯s face. Previously, he did not dare to think that he could capture live Origin Beasts! Even the elite army of the capital would have some difficulty with this, right? Excitement flashed through Wu Yue¡¯s eyes! ¡°I¡¯ll go now!¡± He leaned forward slightly, still waiting for Lin Bai¡¯s order. Lin Bai was slightly surprised. He understood that Wu Yue really admired him now and was willing to treat him as a Captain, not a student when he saw Wu Yue act this way. Lin Bai¡¯s heart warmed as he nodded at Wu Yue. ¡°Be careful. Use the Imprisonment Spell. Don¡¯t let them have a chance to counterattack.¡± ¡°Classmate Zhang, you can call the Dean and report the situation.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with Instructor Wu.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go too!¡± The impatient Li Tongwu brothers followed behind Lin Bai and jumped down together with him. The fire was almost gone. Many Origin Beasts rolled on the ground in pain and only cried out. However, some of them still stood firm and attacked instinctively when they saw humans! These Beasts were all resolved by Lin Bai. He caught two Origin Beasts and set up the Imprisonment Spell. They were waiting for the Dean¡¯s reinforcements. These were all the instructors and teachers in the school. They gathered together and were dumbfounded when they saw everything in front of them! Most of the Origin Beasts had turned into a pile of mud! The remaining two which were still alive were under the Imprisonment Spell. They bared their teeth but could not do anything. The instructors rushed forward excitedly. The special iron cage they brought over was still not enough. They tied it to the cage with special steel ropes and dragged the heavily injured Origin Beasts away. The moment Lin Bai returned to school, he received extremely grand treatment. Their team received special attention. Lin Bai¡¯s performance in fighting the beast king alone also hit everyone like a tsunami. The Dean¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. He couldn¡¯t help but smile at Lin Bai and patted his shoulder! ¡°Tell me! What do you want?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve done a great job now. You¡¯ve brought honor to our school!¡± ¡°Others think highly of me when I walk out now!¡± The Dean felt a little light-headed. He looked at Lin Bai and smiled at him. ¡°Lin Bai, I can fight for anything you want. What do you want?¡± Lin Bai stood in front of the Dean with a calm expression and smiled at him. What he wanted was too simple. He only wanted a safe place to stay. He couldn¡¯t possibly stay in the dormitory during the holiday, right? The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He looked at the Dean and said softly, ¡°Dean, want a safe house.¡± ¡°The house I rented previously was destroyed by the Origin Beasts.¡± That window has yet to be repaired! The Dean was slightly stunned. He looked up at Lin Bai with surprise in his eyes. ¡°All you want is a safe house?¡± He had thought that Lin Bai would make other requests, such as becoming an official or asking for money¡­ Lin Bai nodded. I ¡°What I lack the most now is a house after all. I have no parents or relatives.¡± Both his parents had passed away based on the memories of the original host. The Dean muttered to himself. ¡°Alright! You¡¯re now the captain of the Academy¡¯s team. You are eligible for a house according to the instructor¡¯s treatment.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get my secretary to arrange it!¡± Lin Bai thanked him and said to the Dean, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first. I want to take a look at my novel¡­¡± He went to the Dean¡¯s office the moment he returned. He had not returned to the dormitory yet. The Dean smiled and waved his hand. ¡°Alright, go ahead! I¡¯ll look for you if there¡¯s anything urgent!¡± Lin Bai nodded, turned around, and returned to the dormitory. The dormitory door was tightly shut. Lin Bai knocked on the door before Wei Qing opened it with sweat all over his forehead. He sounded happy when he heard Lin Bai¡¯s voice. ¡°Lin Bai, you¡¯re finally back!¡± ¡°Let me tell you, many people came to the dormitory to look for you after you came back. Tongwu and the others couldn¡¯t even sleep after they returned!¡± ¡°I had no choice but to close the door and pretend to be away. I only dared to open the door when I saw you through the peephole.¡± Lin Bai smiled and walked in sideways. When he looked up, he saw Li Tongwu and Li Tongwen sleeping on the bed, looking like they wouldn¡¯t budge no matter what. He closed the door behind him and whispered, ¡°Really? Then I¡¯m back at the right time.¡± Wei Qing chuckled. He wanted to ask Lin Bai something, but he saw that Lin Bai had no intention of saying anything. He could only keep it in his heart. Lin Bai returned to the dormitory and turned on his computer. He couldn¡¯t wait to see the results from his new book. The results of the new book were indeed slightly better than the second book. It occupied the top spot on the first page of the trending searches. Even the animations showed very good results. There were not many animations serialized from novels nowadays after all. Lin Bai¡¯s theme was novel, the plot was exciting, and the scene was grand. Everyone loved to watch it. They were even urging Lin Bai for his next book. [Merciless Path Ice Valley Holy Maiden: I¡¯ve already read the book several times. When will there be a new book?] [Blood Massacre Palace¡¯s Wen Chengrui: Holy Why Maiden, you look like you have desires. don¡¯t you change your cultivation?] [A Thousand People With A Thousand Faces: Why are you so concerned about the Holy Maiden! Is the Holy Maiden as good as a new book?] [Sit Down the Bodhi Tree To Obtain Enlightenment: Don¡¯t be angry. Everyone has their own tastes. The things that people cherish are naturally different. However, I¡¯m also very interested in the author¡¯s new book.] [A Vagrant Cultivator: I haven¡¯t slept well for a few days! I just want to read his next book. It will definitely be exciting!] Valley. [Myriad Flower Valley¡¯s Little Miracle Doctor: If you can¡¯t sleep, come to Myriad Flower I¡¯ll give you a shot and you won¡¯t lose sleep!] [Immortal Bi Yao: So annoying! Why isn¡¯t there anything new! I want to read a new book!] Immortal Bi Yao¡¯s comments were accompanied by gifts. Lin Bai didn¡¯t expect everyone to be urging him for a new book just because he hadn¡¯t logged onto the website for two days. Chapter 32 - Troop Commendation! Chapter 32 Troop Commendation! Lin Bai flipped through the comments and opened the background data for the third book. At this moment, the editor whom he had not contacted for a long time sent him messages like crazy, seemingly very happy. [Editor Sake: Ah ah ah ah ah! Big Boss, you¡¯re so amazing! Your new book is now ranked first on the entire website, and it has the highest Added to Library count and read count ever!] [Editor Sake: Big Boss, our website has decided to give you an achievement gift!] Lin Bai was stunned. Achievement gift? Lin Bai tapped on the keyboard. [Lin Bai: What kind of achievement gift? Can I choose it myself?] [Editor Sake: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! The Great Author replied to me! Great! I¡¯m crying (Emoji)] [Editor Sake: Of course you can choose it yourself! What do you want!] What followed was a screenshot list, which contained all the choices that Lin Bai could make now. Lin Bai immediately took a fancy to the storage ring on the list. This way, he would not have to store the gifts on the website. Moreover, this storage ring could be used as he pleased. It was simply convenient and fast! Lin Bai felt that this ring would definitely be of great use if he had to fight Origin Beasts in the future! When he thought of this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately asked for the storage ring. [Lin Bai: I want a storage ring!] Editor Sake happily agreed to Lin Bai¡¯s request. [Editor Sake: Big Boss, we will send it to you via express mail! In the future, your parcels will be delivered to you very fast!] [Editor Sake: You have to start a new book as soon as possible! Only then can you increase your rating and obtain more benefits.] Lin Bai held his forehead. Why was everyone rushing him to write a new book? He replied perfunctorily and turned off the computer. He also wanted to rest, but to his surprise, just as he was about to go to bed, the doorbell rang. Lin Bai subconsciously went forward to open the door and found a small box at the door. It was marked to be from Myriad World. That was extremely fast! Less than ten minutes! Lin Bai picked up the small box and took out the ring inside. The ring was dark green in color, and there was a hint of spiritual energy in it as it flowed, emitting a dazzling light. Lin Bai gently rubbed the gem on the ring. Lin Bai realized that he was already in an endless space as soon as a weak light appeared. This space was not very bright. It was only about dozens of square meters, and there were two shelves standing there. Lin Bai felt that something was missing. He felt that it would be great if there was a table. Otherwise, it would be too empty. He could even write on the table! A table immediately appeared against the wall just as Lin Bai imagined. Lin Bai was stunned. Why was this thing from the Myriad World so mysterious? But wasn¡¯t the existence of the Myriad World a fantasy? He guessed that this storage ring might also be connected to spiritual power, since it gave birth to what he wanted. Lin Bai tried to cash up everything on the website into his storage ring, but there were still some things that could not be stored. Lin Bai could only give up and leave regretfully. This storage ring did not look like it could hold too many things! After Lin Bai left, he subconsciously looked at the time and realized that only a minute had passed. In other words, the flow of time in the storage ring was very slow? However, he quickly threw this matter to the back of his mind because the secretary of the Dean¡¯s office ran over excitedly! She wanted everyone in their team to go to the Dean¡¯s office now because the Capital had sent someone important over! He wanted to reward them! Lin Bai raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not know much about this world, alone the capital. let However, Li Tongwu and Li Tongwen both looked excited, and their tone toward Lin Bai changed. ¡°Lin Bai is too awesome! We can actually be received by the General from the capital in such a short period of time!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you!¡± Li Tongwu wished he could kneel down before Lin Bai and prostrate himself on the spot. Lin Bai could not help but laugh. He hurriedly held Li Tongwu¡¯s hand and smiled at him. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you guys. We wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat them if you hadn¡¯t interfered with the beasts.¡± Lin Bai knew in his heart that if he went alone, he might not be able to escape unscathed. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go over quickly. Perhaps the Dean and the others are waiting anxiously.¡± Lin Bai walked out. He felt that something was wrong as soon as he stepped out, because every step he took would attract curious and admiring gazes. It was as if there was gold on Lin Bai¡¯s face. Lin Bai touched his face and didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Previously, these people were still unconvinced by him. When he reached the Dean¡¯s office, Lin Bai pushed open the door and saw the Dean standing at the side. There was a middle-aged man sitting on the office chair, and two handsome military officials stood behind him. Lin Bai bowed slightly and shouted at the Dean. ¡°Dean, why did you call us over?¡± The corners of the Dean¡¯s lips couldn¡¯t help but curl up. He looked at Lin Bai and said softly to him, ¡°You¡¯re here! This is a Lieutenant General from the capital! He¡¯s here to reward you for your team annihilating the beasts!¡± ¡°This is Lieutenant General Li Zhongjing! These two are Major General Liu Shui and Huang An.¡± Li Zhongjing looked up with a solemn expression and sized Lin Bai up. He sounded doubtful. ¡°Are you Lin Bai, the Captain of the team?¡± Lin Bai nodded and looked at Li Zhongjing neither servilly nor overbearingly. ¡°General Li, I¡¯m Lin Bai.¡± He had changed into a shirt and looked handsome. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing only a faint smile. He looked like a weak and handsome scholar. Such a refined person could actually kill a beast king and command a mere seven-man team to defeat the beast horde! He even captured two Origin Beasts alive! Li Zhongjing thought of the Origin Beasts that had been sent to the capital¡¯s military camp to be strictly guarded and he could not help but take a few more glances at Lin Bai. Lin Bai¡¯s expression was still very calm, as if he was not excited or terrified by this additional attention. ¡°General Li¡­¡± Li Zhongjing retracted his gaze without a trace and was very polite to the Dean. ¡°Dean, is everyone here?¡± The Dean hurriedly nodded. ¡°They¡¯re all here!¡± ¡°Lin Bai is their captain. I¡¯ve reported his situation previously. He can indeed rely on writing novels to make the cash up. It¡¯s all on the Myriad World Web Novel Network.¡± Li Zhongjing nodded. ¡°I know.¡± After saying that, he gestured to the person beside him. The Major General immediately took out the medal and a few bank cards. ¡°We¡¯ve discussed it and specially asked for a one-star medal for you!¡± ¡°In addition, everyone will receive 50,000 yuan as a reward. The password of your bank card is the last six digits of your identity numbers.¡± ¡°The official commendation ceremony will be held in the auditorium later. Everyone, please change into the military uniforms we brought!¡± Chapter 33 - Interested In Joining The Army? Chapter 33 Interested In Joining The Army? People came and went in the auditorium at noon. Everyone¡¯s eager and envious gazes landed on the people on the stage. Lin Bai and the others were wearing military uniforms and looked majestic! ¡°Sigh! I heard that Lin Bai defeated the beast king alone. If it weren¡¯t for Lin Bai, those beasts wouldn¡¯t have killed each other in order to choose the king!¡± ¡°Tsk, maybe they¡¯re just lucky.¡± ¡°Then you should try your luck too. Do you dare to? Don¡¯t be jealous. Weren¡¯t you looking forward to making the cash up?¡± Everyone was discussing animatedly in the audience. The noisy and sarcastic voices seemed to have inadvertently poured into the few people on stage. Lin Bai was fine, but Li Tongwu and his brother could not help but look a little embarrassed. ¡°How could they say that!¡± ¡°This is too much!¡± Li Tongwu was still a little frightened when he thought of the scene back then! Lin Bai pressed his hand and glanced at him indifferently. His expression did not change at all. ¡°They¡¯re just jealous. You don¡¯t have to bother with them.¡± His eyes swept across the audience indifferently, and the noisy comments immediately quietened down. They seemed a little guilty. Everyone wanted to rely on Lin Bai¡¯s novel to cash up their superpowers after all. ¡°Next, let¡¯s invite Lieutenant General Li Zhongjing of Marina Metropolis¡¯ First Military Brigade to award the special team with a medal!¡± ¡°The first mission of the special operations team was successfully completed! Under the leadership of Captain Lin Bai, they broke through the beasts lurking in the back mountain of the school and killed the beast king!¡± ¡°They made outstanding contributions to the safety of the school and protected the lives of the school¡¯s teachers and students¡­ They prevented the school from suffering losses!¡± ¡°They also captured two Origin Beasts alive and wiped out the other Origin Beasts. There are about 50 Origin Beasts in total!¡± The host¡¯s voice was quickly broadcasted to the four corners of the auditorium through the loudspeaker, causing the people who were jealous just now to immediately turn red and lower their heads. Li Zhongjing¡¯s expression was dignified. He extended his hand and solemnly awarded Lin Bai with a medal, while the two Major Generals awarded the others with medals. This medal represented supreme honor! Ordinary people might not be able to get the medal awarded by the Lieutenant General even if they worked hard for their entire lives. Lin Bai turned his body slightly and looked at Li Zhongjing. Li Zhongjing patted his shoulder and looked at him with a smile. ¡°Young man, you¡¯re promising. Are you interested in participating in the military selection in the capital in the future?¡± Lin Bai was slightly stunned. Was he qualified to enter the capital¡¯s army now? The army of Marina Metropolis? He paused for a moment. Li Zhongjing immediately retreated before he could answer. It was as if he was just merely commenting on it. Lin Bai did not ask further. That¡¯s because the host wanted him to speak on behalf of the team! He didn¡¯t write a speech at all, and he didn¡¯t know what he was going to say. He had never experienced such a scene before. He had always been a boring character, be it his memories before he transmigrated or the memories of his original body. He had never been a character who would be in the limelight, like going on stage to give a speech! But everything was different now! He was now standing on the podium with his own ability at what he was best at! He stood in front of everyone and gave a speech! It became the school¡¯s honor! Lin Bai was still a little excited. He held the microphone in his hand and spoke to everyone calmly. ¡°Thank you for your support. I hope everyone can cash up as soon as possible!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the host and turned to leave the stage. ¡°Lin Bai! Lin Bai!¡± It was as if the audience had only just reacted to the situation as they let out thunderous applause. This was the first time Li Tongwu and the others had seen such a scene. They could not help but feel a little dizzy as they looked at Lin Bai nervously. ¡°Lin Bai, they were all calling your name just now!¡± ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen them so excited!¡± Lin Bai smiled faintly. ¡°There will be more scenes like this in the future. You guys can go back and rest first. I¡¯ll come back later.¡± When Li Tongwu saw Lin Bai¡¯s calm and unaffected expression, he felt even more admiration for him. ¡°Okay, okay.¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll head back first.¡± Zhang Haishan looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated seeing that Lin Bai was about to leave. The medal on his shoulder looked very shiny. Lin Bai looked at him suspiciously. He left, seeing that he didn¡¯t say anything. He planned to take a look at the house arranged by the school. Let¡¯s see what my new home looks like. The new house was in the apartment building next to the school. Even the security guards were retired soldiers, and the walls were specially made with steel glass. There was no sound when he punched down. It was very stable and safe! Lin Bai boarded the elevator and slowly walked to the room. He entered the password. The door swung open, revealing a wide, imposing living room. The decoration of the room was very minimalistic. The necessary furniture were all there ¨C a sofa, coffee table, and television in the living room. The kitchen was semi-open and only used a partition door. The bedroom and bathroom were extremely spacious. There was even a brand new desktop computer in the bedroom. The screen was also using the latest LCD screen. Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up. The school¡¯s reward for him was really not bad. In the future, he could also live here when the school was on holiday. He did not have to return to the dilapidated, small, rented house. The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up slightly, looking extremely satisfied. He thought of the Myriad World. Where would Myriad World send the things like gifts to if he stayed here instead of in school in the future? Lin Bai took out his phone and asked Editor Sake about it. [Editor Sake: Don¡¯t worry! We¡¯re mailing things according to your location. We¡¯ll send them to you no matter where you are in the future.] Lin Bai was instantly relieved. [Editor Sake: If you find it troublesome, you can set it to send directly into your storage ring!] Lin Bai¡¯s heart stirred. It would be very convenient if the stuff could directly enter the storage ring. Wouldn¡¯t he be able to take out whatever he wanted? Hence, Lin Bai asked Editor Sake to deal with it. The note was sent directly to the storage ring to prevent others from seeing them. Lin Bai couldn¡¯t explain it too well either. He made another trip to the rental house and delivered everything he needed to his new house when he was done. However, there was really nothing in the rental house. There were only a few beddings that were worth using. Lin Bai smiled bitterly. However, he did not think much of it. Not only had he entered the academy, he had also become the leader of the special team after all. He even had a new house! All of this was because of the Myriad World! He might be able to obtain more things in the future as long as he were to write well in the future. When Lin Bai thought of this, he was very happy. By the time he returned to his dormitory, it was already late at night. Li Tongwu opened the door and looked at Lin Bai impatiently. ¡°Lin Bai! You¡¯re finally back. The Dean¡¯s secretary just left. She came to tell us that he wants us to represent the school in a competition!¡± Chapter 34 - Getting Them To Join A Competition! Chapter 34 Getting Them To Join A Competition! ¡°What kind of competition?¡± Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Tongwu suspiciously. They had just returned from a battle but the school didn¡¯t let them rest. Instead, they wanted them to participate in a competition? He felt that there was something strange about this. Li Tongwu scratched his head with a blank expression. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. She just asked me to tell you that the Dean will discuss it with you.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll all listen to your instructions.¡± Lin Bai immediately looked up at Li Tongwen. Li Tongwen nodded. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s what the secretary said. Lin Bai, do you think we should go?¡± ¡°These competitions actually don¡¯t have much meaning. It¡¯s better to form a few more operations and fight Origin Beasts.¡± Li Tongwen was very excited. After experiencing such a satisfying attack on the Origin Beasts, he wished he could return all the grievances he had suffered in the past. Lin Bai smiled faintly. He sat on the chair and turned on his computer as he said to the two of them, ¡°I¡¯ll go ask tomorrow. You guys rest first. I¡¯ll write a draft.¡± ¡®I haven¡¯t finished my new book yet.¡¯ Moreover, he did not intend to end it. He intended to write an especially long version of it. He could obtain more superpowers from it this way. He opened the chapter page and let the protagonists obtain the Lightning Slash Technique and the Puppet Technique. The Lightning Slash technique was an advanced fire-type special technique! He could create a fire that could burn people alive through his spiritual power! He could even burn through very hard things! Lin Bai inexplicably thought of the glass in his apartment. He might be able to master it tomorrow as long as alot of people read it! There was also the Puppet Control Technique! The Puppet Control Technique could be used for long-range attacks to monitor the enemy¡¯s situation without exposing himself. The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He immediately sent it out again after he finished writing it. He clicked on the animation button at the same time. He wanted everyone to see how powerful this lightning slash and the Puppet Control Technique were! A direct visual impact could stimulate them and make them more interested in this book! Lin Bai felt sleepy and lazily turned off the computer to sleep after doing all this. However, the others could not fall asleep! All the readers were in an uproar once the new chapter was released. This included the big shots of Marina Metropolis¡¯ army who had been paying attention to Lin Bai ever since he returned from the victory. Marina Metropolis, late at night. Li Zhongjing looked up with a solemn gaze and nodded at the white-haired man in front of him who was almost 60 years old in the meeting room. ¡°General, I went to take a look.¡± ¡°There are indeed many students in that school who have cashed up the skills in the book. Moreover, Lin Bai is indeed very capable. He¡¯s steady, decisive, and calm.¡± ¡°His temperament didn¡¯t show any fluctuation in emotions even when I tried to tempt him to join the army. He¡¯s a rare good seedling.¡± The old general¡¯s expression softened. ¡°What about the others?¡± ¡°How¡¯s Lin Bai¡¯s skills?¡± Li Zhongjing paused for a moment. ¡°You know how Wei Feng and Wu Yue are. They¡¯re both instructors who were trained in the capital¡¯s army. Zhang Haishan is the most outstanding student in the academy this year. Li Tongwu and his brother are slightly weaker, but they¡¯re quick-witted and upright. They have an extremely good relationship with Lin Bai. They¡¯re roommates.¡± Li Zhongjing looked very satisfied with them. The old general paused. ¡°Who exactly is Lin Bai? Why did he suddenly appear?¡± ¡°The information shows that he has been mediocre since he was young. He did not show too much talent.¡± ¡°Did he become so powerful because he was writing novels on the Myriad World website?¡± ¡°Well¡­ Lin Bai is also very smart. It is rare to have both wisdom and courage. The old general raised his head and looked at Li Zhongjing. There was a hint of hesitation in his voice. ¡°Then do you think Lin Bai is suitable to join the army?¡± As soon as the old general finished speaking, another voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Old General, one operation doesn¡¯t prove anything. There were only 50 beasts¡­¡± When Li Zhongjing heard this, his expression darkened. ¡°Zhang Jian, what do you mean? Lin Bai defeated the beast king alone!¡± ¡°They even captured two Origin Beasts alive. Aren¡¯t those Origin Beasts still locked up? Can¡¯t you see?¡± Li Zhongjing snorted softly. ¡°Did you defeat the Beast King alone when you were the same age as Lin Bai?¡± The person who refuted it just now fell silent and looked at Li Zhongjing unhappily. ¡°How do I know if it¡¯s them who-¡± Before he could finish, the old general glared at him. ¡°Alright! Let them participate in the competition first. If their performance in this competition is still outstanding, then transfer them to the army.¡± ¡°The next wave of beast attacks is coming. The other cities have been attacked. We need a talent like Lin Bai!¡± An urgent ringtone sounded as soon as he finished speaking. Li Zhongjing looked at the old general suspiciously, but the old general¡¯s expression did not change. He took out his phone and scrolled through it frantically for a few minutes, his eyes filled with a strange light. ¡°Take a look!¡± ¡°We might be able to win the next wave of beast attacks if we really have such a superpower! ¡± ¡°And with the least cost!¡± He clicked on the screen. The young male protagonist in the animation raised his hand and pointed. His voice was clear and confident. ¡°Lightning Slash Technique! Break!¡± An intense light instantly filled the entire screen. When the screen flashed back, the enemy that the youth faced instantly became a charred corpse. It was very eye-catching and hard to look away. ¡°Let them participate in the competition!¡± The old general made the final decision! No one refuted it from then on. However Lin Bai knew nothing of it as he was sleeping in the dormitory. He was still in a daze when he woke up. A hot wave of heat surged through his body, and a familiar memory attacked his mind. He was overjoyed! Lightning Slash Technique and Puppet Control Technique! He reached out his hand and chanted an incantation. The pen holder on the table immediately flew out and accurately stabbed into the wall, directly poking a hole in it! BANG! The sound immediately woke up the sleepy crowd. Li Tongwu rubbed his eyes and looked at the pen holder on the wall in shock. ¡°Lin Bai! What are you doing!¡± Lin Bai blinked and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He said to Li Tongwu, ¡°The Puppet Control Technique. I just wrote it last night. He had already obtained it today! Moreover, Lin Bai could control his strength in an instant. He waved his hand, and the pen holder instantly flew back to the table. Lin Bai lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He smiled at Li Tongwu and the other man, who were still on the bed. ¡°Didn¡¯t you read about it?¡± ¡°Yes! We can¡¯t sleep after reading about it. It¡¯s too exciting!¡± However, they did not expect Lin Bai to cash up so quickly. As expected of the author! Li Tongwu¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. ¡°Captain! You¡¯re really amazing! You¡¯re my idol from now on!¡± Chapter 35 - Theyre Here! Chapter 35 They¡¯re Here! ¡°So I wasn¡¯t your idol before?¡± The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He revealed a faint smile and teased Li Tongwu. Li Tongwu scratched his head. He looked at Lin Bai and said softly, ¡°Aiya! Boss, don¡¯t make things difficult for me!¡± Li Tongwu rolled his eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go look for the Dean! His competition looks very important.¡± Lin Bai paused and looked at Li Tongwu. ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Bai couldn¡¯t reject the Dean. He was still a student of the school after all. Moreover, the Dean treated him quite well. Wu Yue and Wei Feng were already there when they arrived at the Dean¡¯s office. Wu Yue¡¯s expression was slightly ugly and there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. The Dean looked up at Wu Yue helplessly. ¡°The higher-ups called late last night. What can I do about it? I can¡¯t decide on the matter of the competition alone.¡± ¡°It¡¯s an order from above.¡± Lin Bai¡¯s ears were extremely good. He could hear the Dean¡¯s deliberately lowered voice even though he had just stepped into the office. Lin Bai frowned slightly. Could there be more to this competition? Wu Yue turned to look at Lin Bai instinctively. ¡°Dean, Instructor Wu, Instructor Wei.¡± Lin Bai greeted them one by one, but Wu Yue and Wei Feng directly called him Captain, appearing very respectful to Lin Bai. Lin Bai was still not used to it. The Dean immediately beamed with joy as soon as Lin Bai arrived. He waved enthusiastically at Lin Bai and said softly to him, ¡°Lin Bai, you¡¯re here! I was just about to ask someone to invite you here!¡± ¡°Tongwu and the others have told you, right? I want you to participate in a competition. It¡¯s not far. It¡¯s in Marina Metropolis City.¡± Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at the Dean. ¡°Dean, what kind of competition is this?¡± The Dean raised his head and looked over. There was a hint of a smile in his voice as he said softly to Lin Bai, ¡°It¡¯s not a big competition. It¡¯s just that some people from the higher-ups¡¯ army want to compete with the students.¡± ¡°The other academies are going too!¡± Lin Bai paused. ¡°Does that mean that no students participated in the past?¡± The Dean fell silent. He looked at Lin Bai only after a while. ¡°If you enter the top few rankings of this competition, you can graduate early when you return. You don¡¯t have to study anymore.¡± ¡°You can stay in school or join the army.¡± Lin Bai immediately understood. The change to accept students was made specially for them. Perhaps the army wanted to see what they were capable of? The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing an interesting smile. He did not reject the Dean. ¡°Dean, I only have one request.¡± ¡°I¡¯m taking my notebook with me. Is that okay?¡± The Dean thought of the call from the old general last night. How could he not agree when he heard Lin Bai¡¯s words? ¡°You can bring anything you want! Just go! Don¡¯t worry, Wu Yue and Wei Feng know the army better than me.¡± Wu Yue¡¯s expression was dark. ¡°You¡¯ll get injured in this competition! It¡¯s not something a student should enter!¡± This was the first time Wu Yue had contradicted the Dean and even expressed his strong dissatisfaction. Wei Feng also expressed some disapproval. It was obvious that he understood the nature of this competition. Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. Injured? That means that it is not an ordinary competition. No wonder he saw Wu Yue¡¯s unhappy expression the moment he entered. He knew Wu Yue and Wei Feng. They looked strict on the surface, but they were actually most concerned about the safety of their students. The two of them treated him as their Captain when the team was out on a mission. However, they still treated him as a student in school. Lin Bai¡¯s heart warmed. He looked up at Wu Yue and comforted him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll protect you. I won¡¯t let you get hurt.¡± A look of shock appeared in Wu Yue¡¯s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry. ¡°Lin Bai, Captain, I¡¯m not afraid of getting injured!¡± He had long disregarded life and death after so many battles with the Origin Beasts. However, he was worried that this was clearly unfair to Lin Bai and the others. Lin Bai didn¡¯t say anything. He just smiled and pointed at the statue on the bookshelf behind the Dean. ¡°Dean, can I borrow this?¡± The Dean nodded. He looked at Lin Bai curiously. ¡°Use it as you will. What do you want to do with it?¡± Lin Bai looked up at the Dean and smiled at him. ¡°I¡¯ve cashed up a new superpower. I want everyone to see it.¡± After saying that, he immediately raised his hand and chanted an incantation, pointing at the statue! The statue immediately flew out and landed steadily in Lin Bai¡¯s hand. Lin Bai reached out and swiped, and the statue immediately left his hand and ran straight towards Wu Yue. Wu Yue sidestepped and reached out to stop it instinctively! However, the statue changed paths with Lin Bai¡¯s gesture and charged towards Wu Yue again. The statue¡¯s hand bumped slightly and almost pressed Wu Yue¡¯s neck. Wu Yue looked at Lin Bai in disbelief. Lin Bai immediately retracted his hand and placed the statue firmly on the desk. He sounded confident as he spoke to Wu Yue. ¡°Do you believe me now? I believe those people in the army don¡¯t have this ability, right?¡± Wu Yue immediately fell silent for a moment before finally raising his head and saying solemnly to Lin Bai, ¡°Special team member Wu Yue will obey Captain Lin Bai¡¯s arrangements!¡± This meant that he tacitly agreed with Lin Bai¡¯s decision. The Dean looked at Lin Bai expectantly. His voice was filled with excitement and urging. ¡°Lin Bai, this is really a very good opportunity. You can¡¯t miss it!¡± ¡°Moreover, regardless of the outcome, I will fulfill one of your wishes when you return as long as you participate in this competition!¡± ¡°Anything you want!¡± Lin Bai smiled. How much pressure had the Dean been under to be so eager for him to participate in the competition? Lin Bai nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Dean. I won¡¯t disappoint you.¡± The Dean was extremely impatient after Lin Bai promised him. He directly transferred a new laptop for Lin Bai to bring along with him. This was a special portable notebook. He even personally sent the seven of them to the chartered car, as if he was afraid that they would go back on their word. After Lin Bai and the others set off, the Dean turned on his phone and told the old general about their departure. The old General was his teacher, so he had no choice but to agree to his teacher¡¯s request. In the conference room of the Marina Metropolis Barracks. The old General focused slightly and glanced at the phone screen indifferently. ¡°They¡¯re here. Take a good look.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see how capable they are!¡± Chapter 36 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Everyone looked up and listened to Wu Yue in the car. ¡°This competition is actually special training in the army at the beginning. It¡¯s a joint exercise. Later on, the nature of competition was added. It¡¯s usually carried out before large-scale attacks of the beasts.¡± ¡°It is to choose outstanding soldiers to form a team to fight the Origin Beasts at the front line!¡± There was a hint of melancholy in Wu Yue¡¯s voice as he looked at Lin Bai with a complicated expression. ¡°We excluded students in order to preserve our vitality. I didn¡¯t expect them to get the academies to come along this time.¡± Wu Yue and Wei Feng exchanged glances instinctively. ¡°There are two possibilities. One is that they are really short of people and have no choice but to start choosing people from the academy. The other is that Lin Bai is too powerful and has already attracted attention.¡± Wu Yue rubbed his brows. ¡°But the army¡ª¡± ¡°Captain!¡± Wei Feng shouted in a low voice. There was a hint of urgency in his voice. ¡°How could you have come down from the front line if it weren¡¯t for those good-for-nothings?¡± Lin Bai was a little surprised. This was the first time he had seen Wei Feng reveal such an indignant expression. Wu Yue glanced at Wei Feng, who felt that he had misspoken and immediately stopped talking. Lin Bai raised his head and looked at Wu Yue, his voice filled with understanding. ¡°Wu¡­¡± Wu Yue shook his head. ¡°Captain, it¡¯s nothing. I failed in my duty back then.¡± ¡°The instructors for this year¡¯s competition are General Li Zhongjing and General Zhang Jian. General Li is a righteous and fair person. General Zhang Jian has made extraordinary contributions repeatedly. He once led people to attack a large-scale Origin Beast group and sacrificed a small number of lives in exchange for the collapse of the beast group back then.¡± The car slowly stopped as soon as he finished speaking. The few of them got out of the car. Lin Bai walked in front and looked at the large camp. A few blue and white buildings were covered by the forest. The officer guarding the door had a serious expression and his tone was sharp. Many students came one after another. Their faces were filled with confusion and curiosity, looking young and inexperienced. Li Tongwu and the other two were also a little nervous and could not help but stay close to Lin Bai. Lin Bai looked up indifferently and led the few of them up. The officer glanced at Lin Bai roughly and said coldly to him, ¡°Your papers! Which academy are you from!¡± Lin Bai told him the name of the academy and the team. ¡°Lin Bai.¡± The officer was taken aback. He couldn¡¯t believe that Lin Bai actually looked like this. ¡°Lin Bai? You are Lin Bai?¡± Lin Bai nodded with a calm expression. ¡°Right. May I ask where we¡¯re staying? Do we have any plans for today?¡± The officer regained his composure after a moment. He looked at Lin Bai and said calmly, ¡°Just wait for the order! There will naturally be a notice when it is time to enter your residence. Enter directly!¡± Lin Bai led Li Tongwu and the others in. Wu Yue and Wei Feng seemed to be extremely familiar with them. They led them to the first room of the third building after reading the notice. Wu Yue pushed open the door. The space inside was huge, as if it had been specially prepared. There were seven beds and a table, and even two bathrooms. There was also a row of wardrobes by the window. In the closet were clothes prepared for them, similar to the military uniform, but in a pale green color. Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue and was surprised by his voice. ¡°Are the conditions in the military camp that good?¡± Wu Yue had mixed feelings. ¡°It is better during the competitions. These will have to be demolished later. No one lives here during normal circumstances.¡± ¡°We can eat in the cafeteria later. Service usually starts in the afternoon.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll probably only stay here for one night. We¡¯ll ascend the mountains tomorrow morning.¡± Lin Bai pursed his lips and whispered to Wu Yue, ¡°What kind of competition is this? What¡¯s the content of the competition?¡± Wu Yue hesitated for a moment and looked at them with uncertainty. ¡°It changes every year. I don¡¯t know.¡± Moreover, it had been a long time since he had participated in such a competition. Lin Bai stopped asking. He changed his clothes and immediately turned on his laptop to start writing. He did not know how long he would be gone for, so he could only try his best to increase his chances. At the same time, he stored it in the manuscript box and planned to bring his phone along. He would send it out for cash up if anything happened! He wanted to do an experiment to see if he could cash up at the most dangerous time. In any case, he felt that this competition should not be life-threatening. Lin Bai gave everyone another Body Tempering Pills to replenish their strength at the thought of this. An urgent ringtone sounded when Lin Bai was about to finish writing. Wei Feng and Wu Yue subconsciously jumped up and shouted at Lin Bai. ¡°Captain, we¡¯re asked to assemble!¡± Lin Bai calmly typed the last line of words and ran out with them. The ringing had not subsided even when they arrived. They were the first batch of people to arrive. Lin Bai stood in front of the seven of them and became the leader. Those who came later were even punished, but those who came late were students from other academies. Lin Bai looked up at Li Zhongjing on the stage. Li Zhongjing¡¯s expression was solemn. His eyes were dignified and solemn as he spoke to everyone. This time, they could choose a group freely, but it could only be limited to the people from the academy or the same team. The competition would begin after the speech. There would be all kinds of dangers in the military camp at random times. They could freely move around and prepare things in the afternoon and would enter the mountains the next day. There would be beasts raised by replicas of Origin Beasts in the mountains and also other dangers. They needed to stay in the mountains for three days and complete their respective missions. The mission would be sent to everyone this afternoon. Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. Soldiers came to distribute the communicators as soon as Li Zhongjing finished speaking. This communicator was also specially made and could only connect with their teammates. If they gave up on the competition, they could press the red button and wait for help. After the communicator was sent out, Li Zhongjing and the others did not even say anything and directly called for disbandment. The soldiers in the army were experienced and dispersed. However, the students from the other academies looked confused. They reacted for a moment and looked at Lin Bai and the others. It was as if they were waiting for Lin Bai to make a decision. Lin Bai smiled helplessly. He raised an eyebrow at Wu Yue. ¡°Is there going to be something this afternoon?¡± Wu Yue thought about it carefully and shook his head at Lin Bai. ¡°It wouldn¡¯t under normal circumstances. They would probably get everyone to get used to each other during this period of time. We might not have seen each other much even though we¡¯re from the same army after all.¡± Lin Bai stroked his chin thoughtfully. We don¡¯t have to get used to each other, right? Lin Bai¡¯s eyes flashed. ¡°Let¡¯s go back and pack up. We¡¯ll head into the mountains this very afternoon!¡± Chapter 37 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the afternoon, at the entrance of the camp. The officer guarding the door looked at him suspiciously. ¡°You¡¯re going in this afternoon? Not waiting for tomorrow? Right now?¡± Lin Bai raised his head and looked at the officer calmly. ¡°Of course. Is there a rule that says we can¡¯t go in now?¡± The officer froze. There were naturally no such rules in the military camp, but no one would enter before they were familiar with each other under normal circumstances. They would ask around first. The officer turned on his side and handed them a map. ¡°This is the map. Just cross the river. You must press the rescue button if your life is in danger. Don¡¯t be rash.¡± Lin Bai blinked and looked up at the steep mountain opposite him, but he still did not look nervous. He snapped his fingers at Wu Yue and the others and said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The six of them crossed the river ditch and entered the mountain. At this moment, it was springtime. Flowers bloomed all over the mountains and wilderness. Tall trees were covered in layers of green leaves, blocking the sunlight. They also blocked the light. Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°No wonder Origin Beasts like to live in the deep mountains. This is very suitable for them.¡± Lin Bai broke off a piece of wood and pushed open the mountain path. The side of the mountain path was filled with shrubs and thorn flowers covered in barbs. Lin Bai¡¯s hand would be pricked if he was not careful. However, he would not feel any pain from that. He ate the Body Tempering Pills often. Some small wounds could no longer do anything to him. Moreover, these wounds would heal extremely quickly. Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue. ¡°Wu Yue, what¡¯s our mission? Is it here already?¡± Wu Yue lowered his head and turned on the communication device, only to realize that there was not a single message. Wu Yue shook his head. ¡°No, they didn¡¯t send any missions. They should send them tonight.¡± ¡°Captain, where are we going now?¡± It was the first time Lin Bai addressed Wu Yue¡¯s name directly. He was still not used to it but Wu Yue accepted it well and had already entered his state. Lin Bai touched his nose. He looked down at the map. ¡°Let¡¯s find an empty space, set up a tent, and light a fire for the night. There should be wild animals in the mountains.¡± Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue and said in a relaxed voice. ¡°Maybe we can have a better meal here than in the camp cafeteria.¡± Lin Bai¡¯s words seemed to be teasing, and no one took it seriously. On the other hand, Li Tongwen was very interested and his eyes were filled with excitement. ¡°Boss, you know how to cook? What delicious food can you make on this mountain?¡± Lin Bai only smiled but did not say anything. He led them up the path and found a slightly flat slope. There were tall trees all around the slope, almost covering the sunlight, leaving only some light and shadow, indicating that it was still daytime. Lin Bai nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s do it here. Let¡¯s set up a tent. I¡¯ll see if there¡¯s any wild game nearby and catch a couple of rabbits.¡± He broke a wooden stick at the side and led Li Tongwu into the forest. An unknown roar could be vaguely heard from the forest, accompanied by the melodious sound of flowing water in the distance, making it look inexplicably strange. Li Tongwu was inexplicably afraid. He looked up at Lin Bai and followed him closely. He said softly to Lin Bai, ¡°Boss, this place is so strange. I keep feeling that it¡¯s not safe!¡± Lin Bai was not afraid. He listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside. It was very chaotic; he could even hear faint bird cries occasionally. Lin Bai gripped the wooden stick tightly and raised his eyebrows at Li Tongwu. ¡°Do you want to eat sparrows?¡± Li Tongwu subconsciously looked around with a blank expression. ¡°Where would it come from? There weren¡¯t any when we came in just now!¡± Lin Bai smiled. ¡°Just watch!¡± He wanted to see if he could really hear the sound of the bird clearly. Could he really know what species it was just by relying on this weak cry of a bird? This thought flashed across Lin Bai¡¯s mind, and he did so. He silently chanted the incantation of the Puppet Control Technique in his heart. His finger divided a portion of his mental strength and fused it into the wooden stick. The wooden stick immediately left his hand with a thought and flew steadily northwest. Lin Bai grabbed Li Tongwu¡¯s hand. ¡°Come with me!¡± Li Tongwu was still a little confused, but he trusted Lin Bai completely and let him pull him along the wooden stick. Lin Bai¡¯s movements were extremely agile. He did not look at the ground at all, but seemed to know what was on the ground. The wood lying horizontally and the mud and swamp were avoided by Lin Bai. Even Li Tongwu¡¯s clothes were very clean and did not get soiled. Li Tongwu admired Lin Bai even more! BANG! Lin Bai suddenly stopped in his tracks. Li Tongwu was caught off guard and almost collided with Lin Bai¡¯s back. He had just stabilized his body when he heard a sound. Li Tongwu¡¯s eyes widened! He saw a big sparrow strung on the wooden stick in Lin Bai¡¯s hand just now. The sparrow flapped its wings indignantly, but it was ruthlessly thrown to the ground and fell to its death! Lin Bai¡¯s eyes lit up! It was done! This was the first time Lin Bai had done it, even though this distance was not considered far and was only a few minutes away! The benefits the Body Tempering Pills brought to Lin Bai were actually so great. Moreover, his puppet technique seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Previously, he had to see the target to control it. However, now, he could control his mental strength to attack targets at will. Waves surged in Lin Bai¡¯s heart. He suddenly realized that this might become his advantage in this competition! Li Tongwu happily went forward with the wooden stick and was extremely excited. ¡°Lin Bai is too awesome! How did you do it? Can you teach me!¡± Lin Bai blinked. He smiled at Li Tongwu and patted his shoulder. ¡°Did you cash up the Puppet Control Technique?¡± Li Tongwu choked. His voice was a little dejected as he said indignantly to Lin Bai, ¡°No, I¡¯ve been reading fervently before I came but I didn¡¯t cash up any of them in the end.¡± Li Tongwu sighed. ¡°Looks like I¡¯m unlucky! I¡¯ll read it a few more times when I get home!¡± Lin Bai smiled. ¡°Then I¡¯ll teach you when you cash up. Now, let¡¯s catch a few more rabbits. I already know what to do.¡± As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left along the path, following the sound of the water. He could always catch a few fishes even if he could not get any rabbit. However, he did not expect a huge figure to barge in after walking for a few minutes! Li Tongwu¡¯s voice was filled with panic. ¡°An Origin Beast!¡± Chapter 38 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lin Bai subconsciously protected Li Tongwu. He looked up and saw a strange Origin Beast rushing over not far away. There were two black horns on the Origin Beast¡¯s head. BANG! Lin Bai dodged sideways and immediately activated the incantation, shouting. ¡°Lightning Slash!¡± He stretched out his hand and pointed. A huge ball of light condensed and smashed towards the Origin Beast! The Origin Beast was caught off guard and did not even have time to dodge. They could only flip over and half of their bodies barely brushed past the ball of light, suddenly dripping with blood. ¡°Howl!¡± The Origin Beast let out indignant and unbearable roars. The ground trembled slightly, and tall trees scattered fallen leaves, smashing into Lin Bai and Li Tongwu. Lin Bai suddenly looked up. ¡°Go!¡± Lin Bai roared angrily, and an extremely strong light immediately appeared and shot straight into the eyes of the Origin Beast. The Origin Beast immediately let out a crazy and terrified cry and charged around! ¡°Li Tongwu!¡± Lin Bai immediately shouted. Li Tongwu raised his head tacitly. He pointed at the Origin Beast with one hand and used his mental strength to light the talisman. The talisman was thrown at the Origin Beast! The fire was instantly ignited! The flames darted extremely high and wrapped around the Origin Beast. Lin Bai heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to turn around to look at Li Tongwu¡¯s situation when a small sound suddenly came from his ears, like an extremely painful roar. It came from the Origin Beast. Lin Bai¡¯s gaze paused. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± He could not help but raise his head to look at the Origin Beast. His eyes were very serious, as if he wanted to see what was different. Soon, he realized that a short shadow had jumped down from the Origin Beast and was about to run. ¡°Stop right there!¡± Lin Bai immediately rushed out, but the shadow was extremely fast. Lin Bai almost didn¡¯t catch up and could only throw the wooden stick horizontally! ¡°Ouch!¡± The black shadow let out a painful cry. It was directly pressed under the wooden stick. The big sparrow¡¯s thick feathers hit the black shadow with a bang. Lin Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. He gestured to Li Tongwu and split up with him before rushing in front of the black shadow. Only then did Lin Bai see what it was. It was a figure much smaller than them. He had a red beard and was wearing exquisite armor. However, he was only about a meter tall. His eyes were extremely big, glaring angrily at Lin Bai! He muttered in a lot of languages that Lin Bai could not understand! Lin Bai picked him up impatiently and looked at Li Tongwu in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s this? Why is this on the back mountain?¡± Li Tongwu glanced at Lin Bai hurriedly as he guarded against the Origin Beast. ¡°I don¡¯t know! I¡¯ve never seen this little person before!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we bring it back and show it to Instructor Wu and the others? They might know what it is!¡± Lin Bai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Lin Bai carried him by the neck in order to prevent this little guy from escaping and returned to the camp. At this moment, Zhang Haishan had already built the fire. Wei Feng and Wu Yue had also set up their tents. The few of them were guarding their territories, as if they were afraid that something would happen. They turned to look at Lin Bai and Li Tongwu when they returned. Li Tongwen looked curiously at the little person in Lin Bai¡¯s hand and sounded puzzled. ¡°Lin Bai, where did you capture them from?¡± Lin Bai threw the little guy to the ground. The little guy blew his beard and glared. He fell flat on his face, looking very irritable! Lin Bai snorted. The little guy immediately did not dare to speak anymore. Only then did Lin Bai turn to look at them helplessly. ¡°I don¡¯t know where it came from! Li Tongwu and I went hunting, so we approached the water source when we were looking for rabbits.¡± ¡°I saw a strange Origin Beast with horns immediately before I got close! I originally thought that I would be fine as long as I dealt with the Origin Beast. I didn¡¯t expect that this small person was riding on it.¡± ¡°I took it down along the way!¡± Lin Bai paused for a moment and raised his eyebrows at Wu Yue, who had a dark expression. ¡°Wu Yue, do you know what this little person is? From which country?¡± Lin Bai felt a little strange. He had never seen such a small person on Earth after all! However, many novels would depict the dwarves. Lin Bai felt that this little person was like the dwarves described in novels on Earth. Lin Bai pursed his lips and looked at Wu Yue. He said softly, ¡°Take a look. I¡¯ve never been to the battlefield before and don¡¯t know anything about this.¡± Wu Yue seemed to have only come back to his senses when he heard this. He glanced at Lin Bai in a daze, his eyes filled with shock! ¡°Lin Bai, this is the Gro Race of the subterranean aliens. Most of them are short and afraid of the light, but they are extremely smart and cunning. They are the one which you have to look out for among the subterranean aliens.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve also tried to fight the Gro Race before, but they know how to tame many Origin Beasts¡­ And they often hide behind the scenes.¡± There was very little information about the Gro Race. This precious information was exchanged for by many soldiers who had sacrificed themselves. However, Lin Bai had actually captured a living member of the Gro Race! Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. ¡°But why did this person come to the back mountain? Shouldn¡¯t the area around the military camp be the safest?¡± Wu Yue paused. A chill suddenly ran down his spine. ¡°Logically speaking, we should have sent someone into the mountain to search before the competition. Moreover, there are security guards around this training mountain.¡± However, this Gro Race could actually get past the security and come here with an Origin Beast! Everyone¡¯s expressions were a little ugly. If the students and soldiers came in tomorrow¡­ Would they have to face this Gro? Lin Bai thought of a possibility almost immediately. However, he did not say anything and only raised his eyebrows at Wu Yue and Wei Feng. ¡°Then what should we do now? Bring this Gro Race back? What will you do with them?¡± Wu Yue and Wei Feng did not know either. They had never captured a living Gro Race after all. Wu Yue smiled bitterly. ¡°We don¡¯t have any experience either.¡± Lin Bai paused. He lowered his head and pretended to look at the Gro Race casually. He realized that the Gro¡¯s expression was still very nervous just now, but he has relaxed a little. Does this mean that this little guy understands their conversation? Lin Bai pursed his lips and became interested. He deliberately said to Wu Yue, ¡°Why don¡¯t we kill him now? Since we don¡¯t know anything about it, we can even bring the corpse back as evidence!¡± ¡°Maybe we¡¯ll win. We might even not have to participate in the competition at all.¡± ¡°This is a huge contribution!¡± The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s eyes curled up slightly as he looked at the Gro Race¡¯s face from the corner of his eye. The Gro Race¡¯s face instantly turned extremely pale, and fear appeared in his eyes. He can actually understand them! Chapter 39 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°So you can understand us! Why did you pretend you don¡¯t understand us?¡± Lin Bai grabbed the Gro by his neck and hung him upside down. ¡°Speak! Otherwise, I¡¯ll make you fall to your death now!¡± Lin Bai¡¯s words were not polite at all, exuding a crazy aura. It made the Gro even more afraid. He was hanging upside down, his eyes filled with fear. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you! I¡¯ll tell you!¡± Lin Bai smiled. He made the Gro stand up and looked at him with a smile, but it inexplicably made him feel afraid. Lin Bai nodded at him. ¡°What¡¯s your name? What are you doing here? How many people did you bring? How did you get in?¡± Lin Bai stretched out his hand as he spoke. A weak flame appeared in his hand, making the Gro shiver. He was a little frightened, so he had no choice but to speak shakily to Lin Bai. This Gro¡¯s name was Solo. Solo was not too important to the race. He had just joined the army this year and was sent by their leader to scout the way. He drove the newly tamed Origin Beasts from the Gorge Mountain three hours ago and traveled for a full three hours before arriving at the water source. He planned to go straight down the mountain to observe the camp. Gorge Mountain? Lin Bai raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Where¡¯s the Gorge Mountain?¡± Solo was not very familiar with the human language. He looked at Lin Bai with a bitter expression and trembled, unable to say anything. Wu Yue¡¯s expression was even more serious than before. He sounded serious towards Lin Bai. ¡°It¡¯s three hours from here, but it¡¯s not too far from the Marina Metropolis area. Origin Beasts often gather there.¡± However, he did not expect the Gro Race to exist in that place! Were they no longer willing to stay underground? Violent waves surged in Wu Yue¡¯s heart. He did not expect such a simple competition to give birth to so many details! What should he do? Wu Yue looked up at Lin Bai. Lin Bai had clearly thought of this. He made a prompt decision. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s return to the camp!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go see the General! We can¡¯t delay this!¡± Solo¡¯s expression froze when he heard that they were going to bring him to the human territory and meet a general. He immediately wanted to escape. Lin Bai reacted quickly, slapped him unconscious and lifted him up. ¡°We have to set it up as soon as possible. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid not many students will be able to return alive after this competition.¡± At that time, they would probably lose a large number of soldiers. Since Lin Bai had seen it, he could not ignore it! He turned around and left as he spoke. Everyone followed hurriedly. The six of them walked down the mountain in a mighty manner, crossed the river ditch, and returned to the camp. The officer guarding the entrance of the camp was a little puzzled when he saw them return. He reached out to stop them and looked at Lin Bai¡¯s voice. ¡°Why are you guys back down here? The competition stipulates that you can¡¯t descend early as long as you ascend the mountain!¡± ¡°Hurry back!¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you students behave yourselves and not break the rules?¡± The most important thing in being a soldier was to obey orders. What about these people?! They ascended and descended the mountain as and when they liked! They did not care about the rules at all. He decided to teach them a lesson at that thought. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t they be messing around on the battlefield? They would lose their lives then! Lin Bai frowned slightly. ¡°We have something to discuss with General Li! Something important!¡± He deliberately emphasized the word and looked at the officer. The officer¡¯s frown was deeper than his, but his expression changed when he saw Solo in Lin Bai¡¯s hand. ¡°You!¡± Lin Bai revealed a helpless expression. ¡°I said it¡¯s important. Let us in!¡± The officer was still a little hesitant, so Wu Yue could only go forward and whisper to him. Only then did the officer barely turn his body and say to everyone, ¡°General Lin and the others are in the conference room discussing the mission tonight.¡± ¡°Wu Yue! You can¡¯t fool around with them.¡± Wu Yue¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°I only take orders from my Captain. Move aside.¡± The officer was speechless and could only let them leave. The conference room was in the first building in front. It was extremely quiet in that building, and people stopped them along the way. Wu Yue was the one who took care of it every time. Lin Bai felt that Wu Yue¡¯s military rank might be very high and should be very convincing, but Wu Yue had no intention of saying anything. He did not intend to ask about it then. Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue and saw that he was very familiar with the handling of the situation along the way. Lin Bai went forward and patted Wu Yue¡¯s shoulder. He smiled at him and said, ¡°Do we wait in the conference room? Can we go in directly?¡± Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He lowered his head and looked at Lin Bai, saying softly, ¡°It¡¯s an emergency, so we should be able to go in directly.¡± Lin Bai nodded softly and looked at Wu Yue meaningfully. ¡°You were a little distracted just now. What are you thinking about?¡± Wu Yue shook his head. They arrived at the conference room as the two of them spoke. The soldiers guarding the door were clearly a little vigilant. He only turned around and walked in when Wu Yue and Wei Feng showed their ranks. In just a moment, he walked out and invited them in. As soon as Lin Bai entered, he saw Li Zhongjing standing at the side. An old general was sitting in the seat of honor. On the other side of the old general was a middle-aged general, about the same age as Li Zhongjing. It was Zhang Jian, who had appeared this morning. As soon as Lin Bai entered, he went straight to the point and slapped Solo to the ground. ¡°We went to the back mountain this afternoon and captured a soldier of the Gro Race scouting around. His name is Solo. He said that his race will enter the mountain tomorrow and attack the soldiers and students with the Origin Beasts!¡± The conference room fell silent as soon as Lin Bai finished speaking. The old general suddenly raised his head. He glared at Zhang Jian and said angrily, ¡°What¡¯s going on?! Why would real Origin Beasts and this Gro appear in the back mountain?!¡± Zhang Jian¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°General, I don¡¯t know either. We searched the back mountain two days ago and again this morning. We didn¡¯t find any traces at all.¡± The old General¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. What would have happened tomorrow if Lin Bai and the others had not gone up the mountain in advance today? A surprise attack without warning? What would happen to them if they did not react in time and caused huge casualties? Such losses were enough to send them all to the military court! The old General gritted his teeth. ¡°There must be something wrong!¡± ¡°Tomorrow¡¯s competition is canceled! Tell everyone to standby! Students, return to the dormitory. You¡¯re not allowed to enter or leave!¡± ¡°Guard the entire military camp! No one is allowed to go out!¡± After saying all this, he looked at Lin Bai with trembling eyes. ¡°Were you the one who killed the Origin Beast and captured this member of the Gro Race alive?¡± Chapter 40 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I didn¡¯t do it alone, Tongwu was there with me.¡± Lin Bai¡¯s voice and his expression was calm, as if it was just a matter of convenience. The old General looked at him in surprise. His expression was very serious. ¡°Lin Bai, are you willing to enter the army in advance?¡± Lin Bai was stunned. Why did everyone in the army like to say this to him now? He did not say anything and only looked at the old General in confusion. The old General¡¯s voice was very calm. Every word he said to Lin Bai seemed very bold. ¡°You¡¯re very outstanding. We wanted to see how capable you are through this competition.¡± However, Lin Bai gave them a huge surprise before they could see Lin Bai¡¯s ability from the competition! This surprise was too big! The old General¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. He looked at Lin Bai and said seriously. ¡°Lin Bai, you can consider it carefully.¡± Lin Bai looked up at the old general and then at Li Zhongjing and the other two. He smiled at them. ¡°General, now is not the time to recruit subordinates. This Gro can speak our language, and so can the Beast King I dealt with previously.¡± ¡°I think there must be something wrong. How did they do it if no one taught them?¡± Zhang Jian and Li Zhongjing could not help but look at each other in shock as soon as Lin Bai finished speaking. ¡°You mean, there¡¯s a spy?¡± Lin Bai nodded. He did not beat around the bush. His tone was not tactful at all as he said to them, ¡°There might be a traitor. Moreover, this traitor must be in the military camp.¡± Zhang Jian¡¯s face turned even paler. He said anxiously, ¡°Old General, you know me. How could I possibly¡­!¡± The old general glanced at Zhang Jian indifferently. ¡°I know it¡¯s impossible for you to betray us, but who did you send to patrol?¡± At this moment, it did not seem appropriate for Lin Bai to continue listening here. Zhang Jian did not say anything and only glanced at Lin Bai and the others. The old general waved his hand. ¡°Just tell me!¡± Zhang Jian¡¯s expression was ugly, and his tone was stiff and frightened. ¡°Only Huang Su and Liu Yuling¡¯s team are qualified to enter the security control room.¡± ¡°But they¡­¡± Zhang Jian subconsciously looked at Wu Yue. ¡°They¡¯re from the 23rd Battalion and were Wu Yue¡¯s subordinates previously.¡± The old general glanced at Wu Yue and sighed softly. ¡°Their profiles!¡± Zhang Jian paused and said to the old general, ¡°Major General Wu should know them better than us.¡± Wu Yue did not hesitate at all. He revealed their profiles to them. These two people joined the army at the age of 18. They had extremely good talent. Later on, Wu Yue even took the initiative to fork out money for them to attend a formal school for two years. where they underwent strict training! Then, they returned to the army. These two people performed abnormally well and carried out every mission perfectly. After the 23rd Battalion disbanded, they were assigned here and became officers. This time, they followed Zhang Jian over here and were in charge of security. Wu Yue¡¯s tone was calm, but Lin Bai suddenly understood why Wu Yue had been a little distracted previously. He was even a little dazed. These two were his former comrades, but now, they have now become suspected traitors. Lin Bai paused. After Wu Yue finished speaking, the old general rubbed his eyebrows. ¡°Lin Bai, if you join the army, your team will still be retained and you can enter and leave freely. You only need to accept missions and don¡¯t have to train in the army.¡± ¡°I can even give you an officer rank to enjoy the treatment of an officer.¡± Lin Bai blinked. He looked at the old general and said in a low voice, ¡°Old General, what will happen to our studies if my team enters the army?¡± Since he had entered the academy, he naturally wanted to obtain his graduation certificate. The old general waved his hand and said solemnly to Lin Bai. ¡°You can all graduate early!¡± His eyes never left Lin Bai, staring intently at him, as if he did not want to miss a single change in him. Lin Bai thought of something. He knew that there was a high chance that he would enter the army after graduation. Most of the students who entered the academy would choose to enlist after all. Moreover, Lin Bai had his own ideals! He already had such a huge cheat, so he naturally wanted to fulfill his calling. More importantly, these Origin Beasts were fighting every three days. If he did not deal with them, he would not have a stable life writing books. Thinking of this, Lin Bai stopped being polite. ¡°Old General, I¡¯m naturally willing to join the army, but I only have one request.¡± ¡°You should know that I relied on writing novels to cash up, right? I wrote all these martial arts that you¡¯ve never seen before.¡± ¡°This is my advantage!¡± Lin Bai did not feel that there was anything wrong. They could also attempt writing it if they had the ability after all. Wasn¡¯t he the only one who could do it? The corners of Lin Bai¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°That¡¯s why I need an absolutely safe room to write books. I have to have a free period of time every day to write.¡± The old General nodded without hesitation, as soon as Lin Bai finished speaking. ¡°Sure, we¡¯ll arrange a dormitory for you. You¡¯ll live in the military area. You just have to go out when you¡¯re on a mission.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to participate in the competition. We¡¯ll get someone to send you back this afternoon. Your first mission is to protect the students sent by all the academies!¡± The old General¡¯s expression was serious. Lin Bai touched his nose and nodded. ¡°Alright, but won¡¯t we alarm the others when we go back this afternoon?¡± The old General waved his hand. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡± ¡°Lin Bai, we still have something to discuss. You guys can leave first.¡± He glanced at Wu Yue and said, ¡°Stay behind. I have something to ask you.¡± Wu Yue subconsciously glanced at Lin Bai, but he did not speak and only lowered his head. Lin Bai did not mind. He touched his chin and bowed to the old General before leaving with Li Tongwu and the others. It was calm outside. There were many unknowing students walking around in the camp, seriously asking about tomorrow. They did not know that the competition had been canceled. Li Tongwu was still a little nervous. He seemed to have woken up from a dream and only reacted now. He looked at Lin Bai. ¡°We graduated?¡± ¡°We even joined the army?¡± Li Tongwu grabbed Lin Bai¡¯s hand, his voice sounding a little excited. ¡°Boss! Pinch me and I¡¯ll see if it¡¯s true!¡± Lin Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry. He looked up at Li Tongwu and smiled helplessly at him. ¡°Yes, we graduated and joined the army.¡± Lin Bai¡¯s heart was calm. His attitude was too calm, making Li Tongwu a little curious. ¡°Boss, aren¡¯t you excited? What are you thinking about?¡± Lin Bai pursed his lips. He said lightly, ¡°I¡¯m wondering what to write in the fourth book.¡±
