Bab 13: The Principal's Goodwill
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
'Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands...
'Ten thousands!
'10,000!
'More than 50000!
'Oh my God!
'He has broken the record since the school was founded!'
The principal had a strange expression on his face.
Disbelief, surprise, and shock intertwined, so much so that wrinkles appeared on his upright face and make him look like he had aged more than 10 years.
"..."
The principal slowly swallowed his saliva to relieve his overloaded brain.
After processing this information in almost 10 seconds, the principal turned his head and looked at Lin Bai.
"Uhm… Can you punch again?"
Lin Bai was speechless.
'Good lord, even the principal was in self-doubt.'
However, this time, there was not any sudden increase in strength from Su Zi consuming a pill.
Lin Bai did not mind the trouble.
It just so happened that he wanted to test the upper limit of his strength.
He decided to be serious.
As such, he adjusted his posture.
He channeled all his strength, then he waved his fist and smashed it out.
Xu Kun was mentally prepared. He covered his ears in advance and stood upright to ensure that he would not be shocked by the impact.
The students on the field also did the same thing and reached a consensus at this moment.
Only to see...
Lin Bai's simple fist.
There was no light at all.
There was no protective item wrapped around it either.
It simply smashed into the testing machine that was made of special materials.
The principal subconsciously looked at the meter panel, but he did not see any fluctuating numbers. He could not help but frown.
'What's going on?'
The expected roar did not come.
There was only a clear and almost undetectable sound.
The machine's stress point suddenly cracked open.
Then, the cracks spread uncontrollably, engulfing the entire machine.
Pow!
Lin Bai's posture did not change, and he still maintained his punching posture.
However, the machine in front of him had exploded into pieces. Its internal parts were scattered all over the ground. All of them were shattered, and not a single piece was intact.
The principal was dumbfounded.
'Good lord, I asked you to take your test again, but you just blew up the machine?
'Don't you know how expensive this thing is?'
However, it was only a fleeting thought.
The principal knew very well that a genius student who could blow up a machine was far more valuable than a piece of testing equipment.
He had no intention of asking Lin Bai for compensation and went up to him eagerly, holding his hand.
"Good! Very good! Lin Bai, right? Are you free now? Are you interested in having a chat with me in my office?"
"Sure."
Lin Bai did not reject the principal's goodwill.
He knew that his performance had successfully attracted the attention of the school's leaders.
His opportunity had come!
It was just a pity that even the school's equipment could not detect his true strength.
If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely test it again!
With that, Lin Bai followed behind the principal.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, he left leisurely.
Only then did the students on the field react and discuss madly.
After a short while, a new hot topic appeared on the campus forum.
[No wonder he's favored by the campus belle. It turns out that the top student is a hidden peerless genius!]
...
In the principal's office.
Lin Bai sat on the sofa against the wall opposite the principal's desk, not feeling the slightest bit of nervousness.
The principal was smiling gently. He even personally made a pot of tea for Lin Bai.
Then, he sat down next to Lin Bai in a very intimate manner.
"Lin Bai, long time no see. I didn't expect you to improve so much."
Lin Bai replied casually, "I was lucky and had a fortuitous encounter. Most importantly, it is due to the academy's nurturing."
The principal's eyes lit up when he heard this.
It seemed that Lin Bai was very grateful to the academy. This was worth making an issue out of!
Despite that…
After some thought, the principal decided to test Lin Bai's attitude.
"Lin Bai, with your current results, if you report it to the city, the other academies will definitely come to recruit you."
The principal had been paying attention to the changes in Lin Bai's expression. "If it's possible, I want you to continue to stay in the Fifth Academy and represent us in the mock exam."
Lin Bai's expression did not change as if he was considering it internally.
The principal saw that Lin Bai did not move and was a little anxious, so he quickly added.
"Lin Bai, it might seem like the Fifth Academy has declined. In fact, a powerhouse entered the Martial Arts Association in the past and is holding a position of high status now."
"I know." Lin Bai nodded lightly. "That senior is indeed outstanding. I'm quite interested in learning from him."
"I can help you!"
Seeing Lin Bai's approval, the principal could not help but be overjoyed. He continued, "In order to thank his alma mater, he once left behind a handbook, recording some of his personal experiences in cultivation. If you agree not to transfer to another academy, I'll give it to you, and I'll also give you an additional scholarship. What do you think?"
Lin Bai's heart skipped a beat.
'Scholarship...
'That's good!'
To be honest, he was no longer interested in things like cultivation resources.
With Su Zi's contract effect, he improved rapidly. No resources could compare to the system's rebate.
Money was very practical.
It was exactly what Lin Bai was lacking.
Whether it was to help his parents buy a new house or to spend money to improve the quality of life, they were all very practical!
Besides, he had no intention of transferring to another academy!
Now that there were so many benefits, why not?
He immediately agreed.
"Since you say so, principal, if I don't agree, I'll just be asking for trouble."
"Hahahaha."
The principal laughed heartily and patted Lin Bai's shoulder in satisfaction. "Not only does the handbook record his insights, but you can also bring it to the Martial Arts Association after the major examination and exchange it for a book on a Grade A combat skill!"
Lin Bai raised his eyebrow. This was a pleasant surprise.
Martial skills in the martial arts world were extremely rare.
Ordinary people could not cultivate them at all.
It was said that under normal circumstances, martial skills would not bring about a huge improvement in one's foundation, but they were strong in nature and had many special effects.
They could transform a martial artist's strength into special attacks.
Some could even increase one's power or vitality by multiple times, directly raising the combat power of a martial artist by one level.
Lin Bai did not know if it was true.
He was looking forward to it.
