I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 628: Witness the Majesty of the Lion—How Could You Catch My Eye?

What’s more, Zhang Shan’s current predicament isn’t merely about piloting a Land Rover.

"What troubles you, Student Zhang Shan? Is there something unclear, or do you have any requirements? Feel free to voice them, and the school will exert its utmost effort to accommodate your needs within its capabilities."

No? Am I dreaming?

The heads of Zhang Shan’s three roommates felt like they were going to split open.

Could it be that Zhang Shan and Lin Yi’s relationship is genuinely that of sworn brothers?

The thought alone was utterly terrifying!

If this were true, then addressing Zhang Shan as "godbrother" daily would be an absolute mockery.

"No, no, no, Mr. Xue, I don’t require anything."

"I am already immensely pleased and somewhat overwhelmed with joy to have gained Shenxiao's acknowledgment."

Zhang Shan had braced himself mentally for this unfolding situation.

He hadn't anticipated Lin Yi's profound sincerity regarding this matter.

Judging by Mr. Xue's deferential attitude, it wasn't a case of Zhang Shan seeking enrollment at Shenxiao; rather, Shenxiao was actively extending an invitation for Zhang Shan to join.

"It’s perfectly fine, Student Zhang. Take your time to consider if you need anything. Dean Lin Yi specifically instructed that any necessary provisions, provided they fall within our capacity and do not compromise fundamental principles, should be met without hesitation."

There it is!

He truly is Lin Yi’s brother!

Zhang Shan’s three roommates were filled with regret. Why had they dismissed Zhang Shan’s initial mention of this as mere boasting, completely missing the opportunity to encounter the influential figure, Lin Yi?

Upon hearing that it was Lin Yi’s directive, Zhang Shan felt a warmth spread through him and also grasped the underlying implication in Mr. Xue’s words.

If Lin Yi wasn't present at Shenxiao, why would he go to such lengths to issue these instructions?

When addressing this particular matter, Mr. Xue paused for a moment in contemplation.

"Student Zhang, this pertains to a state secret. However, rest assured, given Dean Lin Yi’s formidable power, no celestial body, including any neighboring ones within Blue Star’s proximity, poses a threat to his safety. You may pursue your studies with complete peace of mind."

"This is a Spirit Crystal, used for information storage. It contains all you need to know for admission. Once you have reviewed its contents, please report at the designated time as per regulations. My task here concludes, and I shall now take my leave."

Following a brief exchange of pleasantries with the portly principal, Mr. Xue departed from Tianshui City.

Concurrently, within the esteemed university attended by Jiang Ya, a conspicuous public declaration of affection was unfolding.

Jiang Ya’s senior from the same department, the president of the student council, also renowned as the campus heartthrob and the institution's foremost scion of wealth, was leveraging his considerable resources to propose to a charming young lady on the sports field.

He had initially presumed that the series of surprises and the heartfelt confession he had meticulously orchestrated had deeply moved Jiang Ya, leading to the joyful expression that graced her features.

Little did he realize, Jiang Ya’s elation originated from the bestowal of skill points by Lin Yi.

Ever since graduation day, Jiang Ya had not forgotten Lin Yi.

The aspiration to follow in Lin Yi’s footsteps had never waned.

Particularly after a pivotal conversation in her hometown of Jiangcheng with Lin Yi, her resolve to attend Shenxiao became even more resolute.

However, Shenxiao was an institution brimming with Xia’s most exceptional talents.

Without remarkable abilities, how could one possibly aspire to venture there?

Now, having received a substantial augmentation of skill points from Lin Yi, Jiang Ya perceived a glimmer of hope.

Simply mastering a Forbidden Curse could furnish her with the necessary credentials to seek admission to Shenxiao.

Yet, the smile gracing her face led the campus prince to mistakenly believe he had successfully swayed the young lady.

"Junior Jiang Ya, you are finally smiling."

"I am overjoyed today to witness such a radiant smile upon your face. Might I then be granted the opportunity for us to be together? Should you accept my companionship, I pledge to provide you with the finest training environment, supply you with top-tier resources, and we shall attend Shenxiao together. What do you say…"

Before he could complete his proposal, Jiang Ya interrupted him with a voice devoid of warmth.

"I’m sorry, but I must refuse."

Three words, delivered with crisp finality yet imbued with an icy coldness that created an unfathomable gulf between them.

The once-confident campus prince felt as though he had been doused in freezing water. His smile faltered and froze instantly, his expression contorting into an awkward grimace.

"Junior Jiang Ya, please reconsider. This isn’t merely about social standing or status; by being with me, you will undoubtedly find no cause for disappointment. Even if you genuinely hold me in contempt, you shouldn't reject me so unequivocally. Doing so causes me considerable embarrassment. Why don’t you first…"

Agree?

Regrettably, could a woman who once stood on equal footing with a lion possibly content herself with a mere, albeit flamboyant, house cat?

Having spent considerable time in Lin Yi’s company, how could Jiang Ya possibly hold in esteem an ordinary campus charmer from a premier university?

"Senior, let us leave it at that. I have made my position clear. I will not agree, nor is it possible for me to develop feelings for you. My heart is already occupied. I am striving to walk in step with him. In my eyes, there is no space for any man other than him."

Had the campus prince ever endured such a humiliation? Since his enrollment, he was the one accustomed to rejecting others; who ever dared to turn him down? Within the relatively confined boundaries of the school, the campus prince was undeniably a dominant figure.

"Junior, if you refuse me today, this matter won't conclude easily. You've disgraced me before so many people, and I won't let this slide. Either you accept, or you'll be carried out of here."

Just as Jiang Ya prepared to deploy her freshly acquired advanced skill against the senior, a beam of light suddenly descended before her.

Graceful and captivating, her form was adorned in an elegant and exquisite light blue qipao. Her eyes were profound and alluring, her shoulders draped with what resembled a panoramic landscape, complemented by her refined, sweet, and dignified countenance. Instantly, she commanded the attention of the entire confession scene.

"You must be Jiang Ya?" The newcomer inquired of Jiang Ya with an enchanting smile.

"I am Jiang Ya. May I ask who you are, Sister?" Like many others, Jiang Ya found herself unable to resist a beautiful elder sister.

"Ah, I am Lan Ruoxi, the dean of Shenxiao Nuwa Academy. You may address me as Dean Lan. Incidentally, when Lin Yi first enrolled at Shenxiao, I was also his dean."

Upon hearing the names "Shenxiao" and "Lin Yi," all the onlookers shifted their focus away from Jiang Ya, who had been the subject of the confession.

At a prestigious institution like Xia, a select few individuals gain admission to Shenxiao each year, becoming its esteemed students. The insignia displayed on Lan Ruoxi's chest represents a lifelong aspiration for them.

To witness a Shenxiao dean in person, how could they not be overcome with excitement?

"Greetings, Dean Lan. What brings you to me?" Jiang Ya's thoughts raced as she tried to recall any recent actions that might warrant a personal visit from the Shenxiao dean.

Reflecting further, she couldn't pinpoint anything that would justify such a visit from the dean of Shenxiao.

"Oh, it's all due to Lin Yi. I happened to overhear someone causing you trouble and felt compelled to intervene. My intention wasn't to be so conspicuous; I merely wished to allow you to bid farewell to your classmates properly before entering Shenxiao, and yet…"
