I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second - Chapter 495: Warmth Amid an Indifferent World
Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Warmth Amid an Indifferent World
War God Xiyue, without Mitsui Yasushi realizing, summoned Gundam and firmly restrained Mitsui Yasushi.
Acting decisively and efficiently, with the power to kill strong foes of the same level in a short time.
Such an outstanding young man, how dare the Cold Domain War God provoke him.
Moreover, this young man still has quite a few super puppets that are slightly weaker than War God-level beings under his command.
If the grudge is truly held, the War Gods of the Beautiful Country might not be able to protect him.
Furthermore, Lin Yi had already helped the Beautiful Country obtain what they wanted, and in a place where power is respected like the Beautiful Country, Lin Yi’s status probably far surpasses that of the Cold Domain.
It’s better not to speak up for Mitsui Yasushi.
Upon hearing this, the resentment on Mitsui Yasushi’s face was completely gone, replaced by confusion and puzzlement.
“Cold Domain War God, what do you mean, didn’t we already have an agreement before this? I told you the exact location of the Law artifact, and you would help me eliminate those guys from Xia, this Lin Yi…”
Backstabbed, Mitsui Yasushi seemed quite agitated, shouting so much that his face turned red with anger.
But just as he hadn’t finished his sentence, he received a solid slap filled with the Power of Law from the Cold Domain War God.
“You ungrateful fool, do you know who you are talking to? How dare you offend our Lord Lin Yi, looking for death!”
With this slap, Mitsui Yasushi was completely stunned.
He couldn’t understand at all.
Why would these people from the Beautiful Country show such a respectful attitude toward a young lad from Xia?
After all, for so many years, the Beautiful Country has always regarded Xia as a thorn in their side.
“Alright, if that’s the case, then I’ll take Mitsui Yasushi’s life.”
The Law artifact taken from Mitsui Yuji glinted coldly in front of Mitsui Yasushi’s eyes.
Shattering both Mitsui Yasushi’s body and his Lifebound Law simultaneously.
Successfully acquiring Poseidon’s Trident, the three members of the Black Grave did not care.
From Lin Yi’s capability to acquire the relics of Xia’s past War Gods, the three of them fully believed in Lin Yi’s setting of enhancing power by refining the relics of powerful beings.
Therefore, whether it was Mitsui Yasushi’s relics or Chen Dongtian’s, they were all willing to hand them over to Lin Yi.
Just like that, the group from the Beautiful Country, happy with acquiring Poseidon’s Trident, left the Atlantis dungeon.
After seven days, the once-bustling Atlantis returned to its former tranquility.
Across the vast, boundless sea, whales often surfaced, their mournful, lingering cries echoing above the water, everything seeming so harmonious.
If there was anything unusual about the entire sea area, it would be an exquisite, translucent Spirit Crystal floating on the sea surface.
When various countries discovered that their elite professionals participating in the Atlantis dungeon were not returning on time, they sent their national powerhouses to the dungeon to investigate.
The entire Atlantis was deserted, with no trace of human presence left behind.
Only the floating Spirit Crystal on the sea surface was discovered by the arriving professionals.
The content inside was soon made public worldwide.
Jiangcheng Education Bureau was bustling today.
Ever since Lin Yi showcased his talents in the Imperial Capital, his alma mater, Jiangcheng Second High School, became a school many corporations and aristocratic families intended to invest in.
The hype of a Sixth Transformation rivaling War God was too good to pass up.
As a result, before Lin Yi’s reputation faced a “downfall,” big shots from various cities gathered here, lavishly spending money to vie for a portion of Jiangcheng Second High School’s shares.
Very soon, these people felt fortunate they didn’t finalize a deal.
The news of Lin Yi stealing the remains of martyrs and fleeing, and Lin Yi’s parents being captured, spread throughout Xia in no time during this information age.
The authorities even stepped forward to confirm this news.
The big shots planning to invest felt immense relief.
Although Jiangcheng Second High School produced a once-in-a-century genius, the school also faced the dishonor of producing a traitor who betrayed mentors and ancestors, overshadowing the glory.
For a time, Jiangcheng Second High School became the target of public criticism.
Even beyond their peers and schools, people from all trades and professions joined the ranks of condemning Jiangcheng Second High School.
The power of public opinion is formidable.
The population of the entire Xia, how vast it is.
Unable to find Lin Yi to blame, the public, eager for drama, directed their criticism toward everything at Jiangcheng Second High School.
Teachers, students, even the cafeteria lady, all faced severe online backlash.
Some teachers and students, unable to endure the pressure of public opinion, chose to leave Jiangcheng Second High School; those who remained lived in mental disarray.
The worst scenario wasn’t the external pressure but rather the issue of funding.
With such a huge betrayal, the funding allocated by the Education Bureau to Jiangcheng Second High School was reduced to almost nothing.
Major enterprises and corporations originally collaborating with Jiangcheng Second High School withdrew their support as well.
These days, Zuo Qian felt the pressure of “when the wall falls, everyone gives it a push.”
Throughout the entire Xia, the only ones willing to help Jiangcheng Second High School were Jiang Xian and those who had once helped Lin Yi.
In the face of financial difficulties, daily expenses and teachers’ salaries became a headache for Zuo Qian.
At his wit’s end, the old principal finally recalled the two stones Lin Yi had given him before leaving.
Although Zuo Qian had seen a lot in his years as a school principal, he had never encountered Tara Stone, a material sought after even by War Gods.
Recalling Lin Yi’s instructions, Zuo Qian took the two pieces of Tara Stone and, with a trial mentality, went to the Xia Professional Alliance Headquarters.
He thought of himself as an insignificant small role, thinking the powerful individuals at the Xia Professional Alliance wouldn’t give him a second glance.
Unexpectedly, he received a warm reception upon arriving at the Xia Professional Alliance Headquarters.
There was even a dedicated guide to lead him to meet Zhou Heyu.
After much deliberation, Zuo Qian was brought to the confidential meeting room at the Xia Professional Alliance Headquarters.
Once reaching the pitch-dark destination, the guiding professional tactfully left.
At the instant when unease welled up in Zuo Qian’s heart, bright lights dispelled all darkness, illuminating the three people who had been waiting there for a long time.
The Alliance Leader of Xia Professional Alliance, Taidou War God Zhou Heyu.
And Zhou Heyu’s two disciples, War God Rose and Golden Rhinoceros.
Upon seeing Zuo Qian, Zhou Heyu walked over full of guilt and shook his hand.
“Mr. Zuo, you’ve endured so much.”
“I deeply apologize that no one stood up to support you during Jiangcheng Second High School’s difficulties. Please allow me, Zhou Heyu, on behalf of the Xia Professional Alliance, to say sorry to you and all the teachers and students at Second High.”
Zuo Qian was completely stunned.
Never in his lifetime had he thought he would one day be in such close proximity to Xia’s War God.
Nor had he ever thought that one day, Xia’s War God would speak so courteously and treat him as an equal in conversation.
