Chapter 297: Such Master and Student

Yan Lanbing's eyes widened, his gaze filled with terror.

56 pieces?

Was he still hearing human speech? He even suspected his ears were hallucinating.

People from the other various academies cast their gazes over as well, looking at Ye Lin with shock and uncertainty.

56 pieces—that was already more than half. Did that not mean the Daxia Academy had surpassed the Supreme Academy and was the first-place winner of this year's Mountain-Sea Secret Realm trial?

Yun Xintong frowned even more deeply. Compared to Ye Lin obtaining 56 Mountain-Sea Secret Seals, he was more concerned about why Feng Tianyu and the others had not come out yet.

For some reason, a foreboding premonition suddenly arose in Yun Xintong's heart.

"Ye Lin, stop spouting nonsense here! Have you lost your mind? 56 pieces? Do you think you're Feng Tianyu?"

Hu Baiqing had also been startled at first, but after calming down, she quickly realized that Ye Lin was talking rubbish!

If it were said that Feng Tianyu could obtain 56 pieces, she would certainly believe it, but how could Ye Lin possibly manage that?

"Oh? Then how about we make a bet?" Ye Lin looked at Hu Baiqing.

"What kind of bet?" Hu Baiqing pressed.

"If I can produce fifty-six Mountain-Sea Secret Seals, you will go and handle your withdrawal procedures yourself, then disappear from my sight. Seeing you is quite disgusting," Ye Lin said.

"And if you can't produce them, you will kneel before me, kowtow to apologize, and then let me slap you ten times!" Hu Baiqing shrieked.

"Deal," Ye Lin agreed immediately.

"Ye Lin! Don't act on impulse!"

Having reacted, Yan Lanbing hurriedly tried to dissuade him. He guessed that Ye Lin must have had a great harvest inside the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm, but as for obtaining 56 pieces, Yan Lanbing did not quite believe it; this quantity was too terrifying.

Even the Supreme Academy's best record was only about that amount.

It was just like your good brother suddenly telling you he had won fifty million; your first reaction would certainly be disbelief.

"Rest assured, Dean. I, Ye Lin, have three principles in doing things: First, absolutely never act on impulse; second, absolutely never let any bad deed go unjudged; third, absolutely judge with fairness and beauty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin brushed his Great Sumeru Ring, and the Mountain-Sea Secret Seals filed out one after another like a school of fish crossing a river. This highly impactful scene left everyone stunned in place.

"Impossible... how is this possible... I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming!"

Hu Baiqing's face turned deathly pale. She retreated several steps, then tripped, falling to the ground in a daze, her face, swollen like a pig's head, written with disbelief.

"The lamp! I need to find a lamp! Yes! If the lamp cannot be extinguished, it means I'm dreaming! Yes, the lamp, find the lamp! Where is the lamp?"

Hu Baiqing ran out with a crazed look on her face; it was clear she could not accept reality and had gone straight mad.

Although the others hadn't gone mad, their reactions were no better than Hu Baiqing's. They were all shocked; no one had expected that the Daxia Academy, which had always been the eternal runner-up, would actually bring out so many Mountain-Sea Secret Seals this time.

As the person involved, Yan Lanbing was dumbfounded on the spot, his Adam's apple unable to stop bobbing up and down.

"Ye... Ye Lin, what is going on? How did you do it?"

Yan Lanbing remembered, wasn't Ye Lin only at level 28?

"That... speaking of which, I have to thank the Human Emperor," Ye Lin cast a grateful look toward the Human Emperor.

"Me?" The Human Emperor pointed at himself, a smile appearing on his face.

"Yes! If it weren't for the Human Emperor opening the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm for me to enter, my level wouldn't have been able to rise so quickly, so I truly must thank you." Ye Lin's face was full of shyness, just like a star-struck teenager seeing his idol in person.

"Oh? How many levels did you rise?" Yan Lanbing became interested at once.

"I don't know, I'm not very good at math," Ye Lin said, looking troubled.

"Then what level are you now?"

"68."

"Oh, 68, that is indeed quite good... Wait! No, wait a second!"

Halfway through his sentence, Yan Lanbing suddenly paused, then widened his eyes and whipped his head around. His neck made a *crack* sound again, and his previously dislocated neck instantly reset.

"How many?!"

"You said how many?!!"

"68."

Silence was the Cambridge of this night.

"You mean... you spent one month inside the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm, rising from level 28 to level 68?"

Clearly every word Ye Lin said was Chinese, but when combined together, Yan Lanbing could not understand it.

One month, rising 40 levels? Had Ye Lin killed every single demonic beast inside the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm? Was this something a human could do?

"Dean... if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to level up at all. To me... that experience... was a nightmare!"

There was a look of lingering fear in the depths of Ye Lin's eyes.

"Not long after I parted ways with Hu Baiqing and the others, I was surrounded by Feng Tianyu and the others from the Supreme Academy. I couldn't beat them, and Duan Ling was knocked unconscious by them, so I could only hide Duan Ling and then lure Feng Tianyu and the others away by myself."

"I was chased by Feng Tianyu and the others all the way, a life-and-death struggle, until they finally chased me to the edge of a cliff. Below the cliff was the boundless ocean! Forced into a corner, I had no choice but to leap into the ten-thousand-foot abyss!"

Speaking to this point, Ye Lin's body could not stop trembling; he hugged himself tightly.

"I remember, the seawater was so black, so cold, so icy... Not long after, I passed out. When I woke up again, I appeared on a small black island. There was a cave on the island, and I walked along the entrance inside. Suddenly, four ferocious-looking beasts rushed toward me. It was so scary! I was terrified at the time!"

Ye Lin's expression twisted, and he grabbed his hair tightly.

"But to my surprise, those four beasts didn't hurt me. They said something about me being a fated person, and then they directly merged into my body. My level also climbed step by step at that time, reaching level 60! It was precisely because I encountered such a great opportunity that my level could rise so quickly!"

Jiang Wenya looked at Ye Lin with some surprise. She hadn't expected that Ye Lin would take the initiative to take the blame for the Mountain-Sea Immortal-Demon Cave for her. This made her unable to understand Ye Lin; what exactly did this guy want to do?

"Fell off a cliff? Obtained an opportunity? Why does this script sound so familiar... Wait! Black island... cave... ferocious beasts? Mountain-Sea Immortal-Demon Cave?" After listening, Yan Lanbing's face changed abruptly.

As the Dean of Daxia Academy, he certainly knew of the existence of the Mountain-Sea Immortal-Demon Cave!

It is rumored that the Mountain-Sea Immortal-Demon Cave was left behind by the first generation Human Emperor, and the beast spirit imprints inside were not left voluntarily, but were sealed by the first generation Human Emperor!

When future generations have a need, they can awaken all the beast spirit imprints within the Mountain-Sea Immortal-Demon Cave to create a truly immortal army!

As long as the Mountain-Sea Immortal-Demon Cave exists, no matter how many times the beast spirit imprints are killed, they can be resurrected immediately!

This Mountain-Sea Immortal-Demon Cave... to put it bluntly, is the Human Emperor's private property. Is that a place to find opportunities?

Yan Lanbing instantly had a massive headache. He had said not to let Ye Lin get too close to Shen Jingbin!

"Dean Yan, your Daxia Academy is truly impressive. The teacher digs up my family's grave, and the student goes into my family's safe to find opportunities."
