An Unexpected Decision

Chapter 9 An Unexpected Decision

After a long pause, the middle-aged man finally spoke, somewhat excitedly, "Is this your soul skill?"

Lin Dong looked into the middle-aged man's eyes, and his lips twitched: "Hmm, is there a problem?"

After receiving Lin Dong's affirmative answer, the middle-aged man couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Haha, no, of course not! By the way, what's your martial soul?"

Seeing the middle-aged man's excited expression, Lin Dong answered truthfully, "A mutated eye-shaped martial soul."

Upon hearing this, the old man murmured excitedly, "Shrek Academy's requirements for soul power, mental detection and sharing, mutated eye martial soul, and physical qualities far exceeding those of soul masters—Sun Moon Academy has truly struck gold!"

Then, with a smile on his face, he patted Lin Dong's shoulder and said in a gentle tone:

"Please wait a moment while I go and inform them. If you need anything, just ask the teacher in charge of recording; the academy will definitely accommodate you!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man walked out of the testing room with hurried steps, and Lin Dong felt a little uneasy under the gaze of the remaining teacher.

Calmly shifting his gaze away from the latter's burning eyes, he sighed inwardly:

The people here are too enthusiastic. I only used a soul skill, is it necessary to look at me like that?

Tianmeng's voice suddenly rang out: "It seems you'll be treated quite well at this academy. You've found a good place."

After hearing this, Lin Dong murmured to himself, "Yes, I didn't expect it either. Having gotten used to living a life where I'm always worried about being killed or robbed, it's really a bit strange to suddenly meet someone with such a good temper."

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng replied somewhat irritably:

"Do you think everyone is like you, with such a murderous aura? Speaking of which, I have to remind you, try to be more discreet when you go to that academy. It's hard for an eleven-year-old to kill someone without attracting attention."

Lin Dong replied somewhat helplessly, "I'll try my best, as long as they don't provoke me."

Hearing this, Tianmeng knew that this guy's bad temper would be hard to change anytime soon. She could only hope that the people in this academy wouldn't provoke this madman.

While the two were talking, the middle-aged man excitedly jogged back, followed by an old man wearing a magnificent black robe with gold patterns.

Lin Dong glanced at the two of them indifferently, not in a hurry to speak. A hint of admiration flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said in a kind tone:

"Little guy, could you show me your martial spirit and spirit skills again?"

Lin Dong nodded, gently circulating his soul power. A faint gray light enveloped his deep eyes, and after a moment, the old man saw the same scene that the middle-aged man had witnessed.

The old man glanced at the middle-aged man with some excitement, then looked at Lin Dong and said in a gentle tone:

"Your eye-shaped martial soul doesn't seem to be an ordinary one. Does your martial soul have a name?"

"Desolate Demon Eyes".

Hearing Lin Dong's calm tone, the old man clapped his hands excitedly:

"What a desolate demonic eye! Truly, the heavens bless our Sun and Moon! Young fellow, I, Mirror of the Mortal World, hereby declare that from this day forward, you are officially a core student of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, enjoying the highest level of privileges!"

The three people standing to the side looked at Lin Dong with some envy. Jing Hongchen's words just now could be described as making Lin Dong rise to the top in one step!

Seeing that Lin Dong didn't answer for a long time, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Was this kid so happy that he went crazy? Judging from the temperament he just showed, it shouldn't be like that.

Amidst the puzzled looks of the three, Lin Dong gazed at Jing Hongchen, who wore a wide smile, and sighed helplessly:

"I am grateful for your kind offer, sir, but I'm sorry, I must decline."

The boy's slightly apologetic voice rang out in the room, causing everyone to freeze in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen could hardly believe her ears for a moment. After a long while, she said with a hint of anger:

"Little guy, although you are very talented, it's really impolite of you to make fun of us."

Lin Dong couldn't help but find it amusing to see his expression—a mixture of wanting to get angry and not wanting to let him escape.

The people here are too nice-tempered. If it were Master Wudao, they would probably have been cursing him out long ago.

He then looked at Jing Hongchen with a smile and explained, "Old sir, Lin Dong meant no harm. It's just that I don't understand what you mean by Soul Master. Perhaps Soul Master is more in line with my fighting style."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's slight anger subsided somewhat, and she asked with some confusion:

"How could that be? You have a mutated eye-type martial soul, so your physical attributes shouldn't be too good. And most of your soul skills are supportive, so how could they possibly be suitable for a soul master? Don't try to fool this old man!"

"Of course not. Everything I said is true. Besides, my physical condition is probably not as bad as you think. If you don't believe me, just ask the teacher in charge of taking notes."

Upon hearing Lin Dong's answer, Jing Hongchen's eyes showed even more doubt. He took the data handed to him by the teacher, glanced at it briefly, and then his pupils suddenly widened!

"Soul Power, Level 16; Physical Strength, Level 35?!"

Jing Hongchen glanced at the middle-aged man in charge of the test with a slightly reproachful look. He hadn't told him such an important thing!

The middle-aged man chuckled sheepishly, "Master Hongchen, it's not that I'm hiding anything, it's just that you were too excited, and I didn't have time to say it!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen blushed and coughed awkwardly.

"Fine, considering you've chosen such an outstanding talent for the empire, I'll let this matter go. After today, you can take up your post at Mingde Hall."

The middle-aged man was overjoyed upon hearing this, and bowed respectfully to Jing Hongchen, saying, "Thank you, Hall Master!"

Jing Hongchen waved his hand and said in a calm tone, "The Empire has always been fair in its rewards and punishments, there's nothing to thank me for."

Then, looking at the waiter and the teacher in charge of recording, he said softly, "You two have also made contributions. You can go to Mingde Hall later to collect a reward."

Both of them were overjoyed upon hearing this, and bowed to Jing Hongchen, saying, "Yes!"

"Alright, everyone, you can leave now. I have important matters to discuss with this little guy."

Before leaving, the three of them smiled gratefully at Lin Dong, because without his appearance, they wouldn't have received their reward today.

"Tsk tsk, you really have a case of one person attaining enlightenment and all their relatives and friends benefiting from it. This old man is so infatuated with you on our first meeting."

Tianmeng's sudden words made Lin Dong unconsciously purse his lips. He looked up and met Jing Hongchen's eager gaze, who asked somewhat enthusiastically:

"Lin Dong, with your physical strength, you probably haven't taken any pills to enhance your power, right?"

Seeing Lin Dong nod, Jing Hongchen's joy deepened, after all, the biggest weakness of a Soul Master is their lack of physical fitness and close combat ability.

Lin Dong's current situation, with his abnormally powerful support soul skills, physical qualities far exceeding those of ordinary people, and his tenacious mentality, makes him the most perfect soul mentor in his heart!

No, we have to find a way to change this kid's mind. How can we let such a good talent get away!
