I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second - Chapter 510: The Twenty-Sixth War God! Titled Dragon God

Chapter 510: Chapter 510: The Twenty-Sixth War God! Titled Dragon God

How could the academy not anticipate Lin Yi’s excuse?

If they weren’t fully prepared, how could they have Mr. Yang bring up this matter?

“Ah, in the end, I’m just getting old.”

Lin Yi, Xiyue: ???

“My old bones are just useless now. I’ve even begged the younger generation to this point, and they don’t plan to agree with me.”

“Ah, never mind, you youngsters have your own ideas. An old guy like me, who’s halfway in the grave, can’t win in a fight or with words. What can I do?”

“I originally thought to finish this last business and retire with honor, but it seems like I’ll just be infamous for eternity.”

Saying this, Mr. Yang sighed, and his face suddenly gained several wrinkles as he shook his head and stood up shakily.

“Lin Yi, since my words as an old man carry no weight, I’ll just leave first, and you guys take your time playing.”

This scene made Nangong Ling and the others unable to hold back their laughter.

The usually stern Vice Principal was putting on such a clumsy act today; it was too amusing!

Especially with the constant mention of being an old guy halfway buried, it directly portrayed “I’m morally coercing you, Lin Yi” on his face.

However, three seconds later, Mr. Yang turned his head in confusion.

“No, Lin Yi, you little rascal! I gave you a chance to study at Shenxiao, and this is how you repay the old man? Not giving me any face?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into laughter.

As for Lin Yi, he didn’t let the Vice Principal be embarrassed and quickly helped him sit back down.

“Ah, Mr. Yang, aren’t you making things difficult for me? How can I agree to this Dean position?”

“You know how much I like causing trouble. It’s not like you aren’t aware, and besides…”

Causing trouble, in Lin Yi’s view, wasn’t the most crucial issue.

The important thing was being a Dean would be quite troublesome.

He was used to freedom; how could he just be tied down by Wanchong Mountain, the old fox?

After talking for a while, Lin Yi still didn’t yield, which greatly angered Mr. Yang.

“You brat!”

“I’ve talked to you for so long, and you haven’t listened to a word. No matter what you say today, you must take this position, and no one can sway that.”

Seeing Mr. Yang about to tap his cane on the table, ready to act unreasonably, Lin Yi felt something was amiss.

This action wasn’t quite abusing seniority; Lin Yi couldn’t even react badly.

Just as Lin Yi was hesitating whether to run away first, a familiar voice sounded.

“I wonder if my presence makes a difference?”

Following the voice, the scene before them left Lin Yi and the others stunned.

He Zhenyuan wheeled a wheelchair into Lin Yi’s villa.

Sitting in the wheelchair was none other than Xu Sheng.

Though Nangong Ling and the others hadn’t interacted personally with people of this level, they had seen photos of both individuals in various news articles and magazines, knowing who they were.

“Leader, what brings you here?”

Originally planning to forcefully push Lin Yi into accepting the job, Mr. Yang’s eyes turned red upon seeing the newcomer, and he hurriedly stepped forward to clasp Xu Sheng’s hands.

The matter of Xu Sheng’s poor health was something known among people of certain statuses.

His being in a wheelchair was likely related to the preparations made for the recent decisive battle, and he was surely exhausted.

“I’ve come to see our great hero. This young man, Lin Yi, doesn’t like self-promoting glory; he’s rejected all interviews, pushing them onto the Foreign Affairs Department instead.”

“I’m curious about what could be more important than fame. That’s why I came to check it out.”

Lin Yi quickly understood Xu Sheng’s intentions and immediately played along.

“Leader, you’ve guessed it right. A mentor for a day, a father for life, Shenxiao accepted me as a student, providing me with so many resources. How could I, Lin Yi, fail to repay this kindness?”

Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

“Oh? So you’re planning to remain as Dean?”

“Oh, that’s a shame, then. I was contemplating doing something big with you before I step down. You know, after that war ended, it seems Blue Star has lifted some restrictions, and many previously unseen instances have appeared.”

“That includes Atlantis with its Deep Sea Tower, but alas, never mind.”

“Since you’re choosing to remain as Dean, this matter won’t involve you.”

As Xu Sheng finished, he also let out a sigh.

In an instant, Xu Sheng seemed to have aged.

The light in his bright eyes vanished instantly.

He drooped his head and gestured to He Zhenyuan to leave.

Mr. Yang’s respect for Xu Sheng wasn’t just lip service.

He was aware of all Xu Sheng had done for Xia’s citizens over the years and how much he had fought for Xia’s interests internationally.

Despite his poor health, Xu Sheng was still concerned about Xia’s future.

With such a leader, how could Mr. Yang not admire him?

The thought of binding Lin Yi to Shenxiao weakened slightly.

Not just Mr. Yang, but even Nangong Ling and the others had tears welling up after hearing Xu Sheng’s words.

“Leader, wait a moment.”

Mr. Yang quickly stepped forward, blocking Xu Sheng’s path.

“Leader, about Lin Yi becoming Dean, it can be postponed. It’s not urgent. Why not let him assist you first?”

When Xu Sheng takes action, is there anything that can’t be resolved?

Shortly after Mr. Yang left Lin Yi’s villa, Xu Sheng stood up from the wheelchair.

Damn?!

Why is the leader also…

Seeing Xu Sheng lively and energetic, completely different from earlier, left Nangong Ling and the others utterly dumbfounded.

“Leader, it looks like you’re feeling much better.”

Lin Yi offered Xu Sheng a cup of tea with a smile.

“Thanks to your efforts, everything went so smoothly. My health has to improve.”

The future of Xia and humanity had always been on Xu Sheng’s mind.

But with Lin Yi having dealt with that damn Divine Envoy, all problems were resolved smoothly.

The road ahead suddenly seemed clear.

All of Xu Sheng’s worries have been set aside.

“You’ve come at the right time. Did you come specifically to notify me about participating in the action? The Deep Sea Tower is very important to me; I need to gather as many soul cores as possible. If it’s just about this, you didn’t need to come in person.”

Xu Sheng smiled slightly and took out an exquisite gilt box, pushing it towards Lin Yi.

“You are truly too clever.”

“Here, open it and see, this is prepared for you.”

Lin Yi didn’t stand on ceremony, offering a brief word of thanks before opening the box.

A flash of dazzling golden light appeared.

Then a badge engraved with a dragon pattern came into view.

“Blue Star, peace at last!”

“You no longer need to hide the secret of the Dragon God’s power.”

“After bearing the blame for a while, it’s time you re-enter the public eye of Xia.”

“Comrade Lin Yi, congratulations on becoming the twenty-sixth War God of Xia, titled Dragon God, without the need for trials or promotions!”

As these words were spoken, Xu Sheng and He Zhenyuan seriously extended their hands towards Lin Yi.
