Chapter 85 S-Rank Superpower: Ancient Dragon Eagle
Qian Kun narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
"Who is the strongest freshman in your Beastmanship Department this year?"
Lin Yuan looked directly at him: "I'll fight him. If he wins, I'll voluntarily give up my S-rank privileges, no questions asked. If I win..."
Lin Yuan paused for a moment, then spoke clearly and forcefully.
"From now on, no one should say a word about my S-level treatment."
Upon hearing this, Qian Kun was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing—not in mockery, but in appreciation.
"Good lad, you've got guts!"
Immediately afterward, he shouted towards the door, "Get Qi Feng here!"
Less than two minutes later, the conference room door was pushed open.
A tall, thin young man walked in. His black hair was cut very short, and his amber eyes were exceptionally rare. Deep within his pupils were vertical lines resembling those of a raptor.
He put his hands in his pockets, looked indifferent, and yawned as he entered the room.
S-level Ancient Dragon Eagle Ability, Tier 2, Level 1, Eight Rounds of Bone Tempering!
As soon as Qi Feng entered the room, he stared intently at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan also looked up at him.
The two stood and sat across a conference table, neither speaking first.
Two invisible energy fields collided violently in the air.
"You're Lin Yuan?" Qi Feng tilted his head.
"You're that bird?" Lin Yuan retorted calmly.
"Damn it." Qi Feng cursed, but instead of being angry, he grinned.
Qian Kun and Zhao Cangming exchanged a glance.
Zhao Cangming stood up abruptly and slammed his hands on the table: "Since this is a top-tier competition among freshmen, let's add a prize!"
Qian Kun frowned slightly: "What do you want?"
"Blood Coagulation Realm!"
The moment those four words were uttered, the conference room fell silent for a full three seconds!
Beyond Bone Tempering lies the Blood Condensation Realm!
Bone tempering is forging the skeleton, while blood coagulation is reshaping the bloodline. Good materials for cultivating the Blood Coagulation Realm are extremely scarce throughout the country, and S-grade materials are even more priceless!
"S-grade Blood Coagulation Realm cultivation materials," Shen Man held up one finger.
"Whoever wins gets the materials! Dean Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Cangming stroked his shiny bald head and grinned:
"I have no objection! Lin Yuan is from my Thunder Academy. He'll eventually need to break through to the Blood Condensation stage after the Nine-Round Bone Tempering. This material is perfect for him to win back!"
Qian Kun remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Qi Feng.
Qi Feng simply put his hands in his pockets and shrugged indifferently.
"Alright! S-grade blood clotting materials, our Beast Transformation Institute can afford them!"
"Then it's settled."
Zhou Zhenyuan made the final decision, and everyone unconsciously sat up straight.
"At the opening ceremony of the entrance examination, Lin Yuan will face off against Qi Feng. The winner will receive a set of S-grade Blood Condensation Realm cultivation materials."
The loser...
He paused, opened his eyes, and glanced at the two of them.
"There's no need to feel ashamed. Just daring to stand on that stage already puts you ahead of most people."
Once the vice principal spoke, no one dared to object.
Qian Kun stood up and patted Qi Feng on the shoulder: "Let's go back and prepare."
Qi Feng nodded, and before leaving, he turned back to look at Lin Yuan with a smile on his lips and a clear voice: "See you at the freshman assembly, don't disappoint me."
Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said casually, "You too, when you get electrocuted into a roasted bird, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The people in the meeting room gradually left.
Zhao Cangming walked up to Lin Yuan, looked him up and down, his bald head shining brightly:
"Kid, blood clotting materials aren't for storing. If you win, come find me at Thunder Academy, and I'll personally teach you the cultivation methods for the Blood Clotting Realm!"
Lin Yuan stood up and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Dean Zhao."
Zhao Cangming waved his hand, turned around, and strode away.
"What are you thanking me for? You're a student of my Thunder Academy!"
Finally, Shen Man and Lin Yuan walked out of the conference room.
The corridor was unusually quiet. As they walked, Shen Man asked, "Have you seen Qi Feng's file?"
"No, all I know is that he is an S-rank ancient dragon eagle, second tier, first level, with eight rounds of bone tempering."
"The Ancient Dragon Eagle is a top-tier beast-type ability. It can fly at low altitudes at extremely high speeds and excels in aerial attacks. Its weakness is its relatively weak defense."
Shen Man's tone was unusually serious as she glanced at him and asked, "Are you confident you can win?"
Lin Yuan rested his hands behind his head, his steps light and easy: "Teacher Shen, when have you ever seen me do something I wasn't sure about?"
Shen Man bluntly exposed him: "Yes, when you registered for the college entrance examination in Hangzhou."
Lin Yuan was speechless for a moment: "...That's different."
Only Shen Man and Lin Yuan remained in the corridor.
Lin Yuan closed the conference room door and turned to ask:
"Teacher Shen, why is that old man Qian Kun targeting me? I don't think I knew him before?"
Shen Man leaned against the wall, hands in her pockets, her tone languid:
"It's not directed at you. It's just that I can't stand the fact that an S-rank student is being treated like an F-rank awakened freshman."
She paused, then added:
"And it's not just Qian Kun. Most of the teachers and mentors from other colleges have opinions as well."
Qian Kun was just straightforward, so he said it out loud. As for the others... they'll keep quiet until you mess up before jumping out.
Lin Yuan nodded.
Okay, I understand.
To put it bluntly, they're just not convinced.
An F-level ability user receiving S-level treatment is unprecedented in the history of Shanghai's academies.
If he were a teacher, he would also have a few complaints.
"Then let them suffer for now," Lin Yuan said.
Shen Man's lips curled into a smile, and she was about to speak when she heard footsteps behind her.
He moved at a steady pace, taking each step with great care.
They both turned around at the same time.
At the end of the corridor, Vice Principal Zhou Zhenyuan was walking towards them.
The dark gray robe gleamed with subtle patterns under the light. His steps were small, but his presence silenced the entire corridor.
Lin Yuan and Shen Man immediately stood up straight and bowed slightly: "Principal Zhou."
Zhou Zhenyuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formalities.
He stopped in front of Lin Yuan, his gaze lingering on Lin Yuan for a moment.
It wasn't like they were scrutinizing; it was more like they were confirming something.
"Lin Yuan," Zhou Zhenyuan said, his voice low but deep.
"You can now go to the S-rank Mystic Arts Pavilion to obtain your copy of the mystic art."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was taken aback.
Shen Man was also stunned, and blurted out, "Principal Zhou, didn't you say we had to wait until after the grand competition on the day of the new student enrollment..."
"Qi Feng has already learned the secret technique, Lin Yuan should learn it too," Zhou Zhenyuan interrupted her, his tone indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Shen Man swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
