I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 694: Completely Out of Line!
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Unbelievable!
Wanchong Mountain experienced profound shock for the very first time, completely immobilized by surprise.
The notion of being adopted by a young girl had never crossed his mind.
"Uh, this likely won't do."
Fortunately, Lin Guodong's reflexes were swift, and he swiftly retrieved Wanchong Mountain from Zhang Yun's grasp, placing it back on the floor.
"Why not? Mr. Lin, this kitten is quite well-behaved," Zhang Yun murmured, feeling a pang of disappointment at the rejection.
Given the Lin Family's current living standards, accommodating a single cat, let alone a hundred, should pose no issue whatsoever. Why would they refuse?
Furthermore, the Lin Family's elders had treated her with such kindness; surely they wouldn't be lacking in compassion?
"Because I am the Principal of Shenxiao, one of Xia's most esteemed War Gods! To adopt me? You lack the qualifications, little girl!"
As these words were uttered, the white cat ascended into the air. Its potent Source Power, no longer restrained, was unleashed.
Only then did Zhang Yun comprehend the extraordinary nature of the being she had intended to adopt.
Recognizing her own impoliteness, Zhang Yun quickly began to offer her apologies.
Wanchong Mountain, being incredibly gracious, naturally did not dwell on the incident.
A creature that had existed for millennia would hardly harbor resentment towards a young girl.
Moreover, he had other significant matters requiring his attention.
When Xu Sheng had proposed the construction of a solitary mountain within Shenxiao for a single individual, Wanchong Mountain had initially rejected the idea outright.
After all, Shenxiao served as a training ground for Xia's most gifted students, and its land resources were exceedingly precious.
Allocating an entire mountain to one person—what a preposterous notion!
However, Wanchong Mountain's resolute stance did not persist for long.
Upon learning that the individual Lin Yi had brought back from the upper plane intended to impart skills to Shenxiao's students, Wanchong Mountain readily assented.
Consequently, as soon as the Xia Engineering Team concluded the construction of the Blue Star Dubhe Pavilion, Wanchong Mountain paid an unexpected visit to Lin Yi's residence, where he unexpectedly encountered this remarkably audacious young lady.
Following a brief exchange, Wanchong Mountain stated the primary objective of his visit: to escort the formidable individual Lin Yi had brought back from the upper plane to Shenxiao.
But upon realizing that the young lady attempting to adopt him was none other than Zhang Yun, Wanchong Mountain could no longer contain himself.
Was this reasonable?
A mere young girl, not particularly powerful, with a cultivation level below the average of Shenxiao's students, possessing such aspirations? Furthermore, the sheer audacity of this young lady.
"Impossible, Mr. Lin, are you quite certain there has been no misunderstanding? Did Lin Yi not bring anyone else back from the upper plane?"
If Xiyue and Ao Shu were not currently in secluded cultivation, Wanchong Mountain would have summoned them immediately for a thorough interrogation.
"Principal, there is indeed no mistake. Perhaps we should wait for Xiaoyi to return and seek his clarification?"
This Zhang Yun was undeniably the sole individual who had returned with Lin Yi from the upper plane.
Yet, considering Zhang Yun's comparatively modest strength, what conceivable capability did she possess to guide Shenxiao's most promising talents toward advancement?
"Hmph, you condescending feline, do not underestimate me. You should recall that when we were at Xiang Wuxing, Lin Yi was my disciple! He addressed me as Master, yet you dare to look down upon me!"
Zhang Yun clearly perceived Wanchong Mountain's doubts and promptly retorted with indignation.
What?!
The venerable feline erupted into laughter upon hearing her words:
Lin Yi's reasoning was, without a doubt, sound.
The act of learning skills from another person truly earns the title of 'master' without any shame.
However, what struck Wanchong Mountain the most profoundly was the extraordinary ability demonstrated by Zhang Yun.
The entire Blue Star continent was already well aware of Lin Yi's exceptional talent.
The question of just how much of an improvement a skill that Lin Yi himself had yet to master represented was truly astonishing.
Upon confirming that he had not misheard, the old cat's demeanor towards Zhang Yun underwent a sudden and dramatic transformation.
"Hehe, young lady, my earlier words were perhaps not very pleasant. I offer my apologies. And you, please don't hold it against this old cat; my purpose in coming this time is to extend an invitation to you for Shenxiao."
The stark shift in the old cat's attitude certainly made Zhang Yun feel significantly more at ease. Nevertheless, the undeniably arrogant bearing the old cat had displayed moments before was still vividly etched in her memory, leaving her with a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. Consequently, she did not immediately accept the old cat's offer.
Yet, the esteemed Mr. Wan possessed his own unique methods.
Observing Zhang Yun's unyielding stance, he promptly produced a tablet. From it, he projected visual records of the construction accomplishments of the Blue Star Dubhe Pavilion, magnificently erected using Spirit Crystals, showcasing them directly before Zhang Yun.
"Look here, young lady, this Blue Star Dubhe Pavilion has been specifically built for you. Within its walls, you can revel in a superior environment, experience the unparalleled convenience afforded by modern technology, and simply dedicate your time to assisting in the instruction of our students. Truthfully, given your current level of strength, Shenxiao has a great deal to offer you in terms of further development, and should you desire to enhance your capabilities, you are welcome to join the classes alongside Shenxiao's students..."
Zhang Yun would not have taken other assurances seriously.
The allure of convenience provided by modern technology held little sway over her.
However, the prospect of augmenting her strength while simultaneously realizing her self-worth on Blue Star was an entirely different proposition.
She had, after all, heard whispers of Shenxiao's formidable reputation.
Considering that Lin Yi had once been a student there, the sheer might of Shenxiao was, by extension, evident.
It was precisely with the future goal of Zhang Yun personally exacting vengeance that Lin Yi had meticulously orchestrated these arrangements.
The words spoken by Wanchong Mountain caused the young woman to fall into silent contemplation.
After a brief period of thoughtful consideration, she finally inclined her head in agreement.
"Ah, that is indeed the most judicious choice. Shenxiao stands as Xia's preeminent academy, blessed with an abundance of resources. Furthermore, owing to your esteemed position as Lin Yi's teacher, you will find yourself able to move about freely within Shenxiao's grounds, ensuring your comfort and happiness. Your only responsibility will be to occasionally assist the academy's instructors with their teaching duties. How does that sound?"
And so, the arrangement was smoothly finalized.
Following a modest meal shared with her parents, Lin Yi, accompanied by Wanchong Mountain, proceeded to escort Zhang Yun to the Blue Star Dubhe Pavilion, located within the esteemed grounds of Shenxiao.
