Chapter 341: Finally Took the Bait

Ye Lin's calm words rang out across the Supreme Academy's plaza, yet they caused a massive shock.

The students of the Supreme Academy all turned their gazes toward Ye Lin in an instant.

Level 73! Forbidden Spellcaster!

These two terms combined were truly too unfamiliar.

Looking back at history, no Forbidden Spellcaster had ever reached such a terrifying level as 73; this profession usually ended up crippled by the time they reached level 50 or 60.

Therefore, upon hearing Ye Lin claim to be level 73, the crowd at the Supreme Academy was first shocked, and then filled with disbelief.

Even Yun Guanlou could not help but point at Ye Lin, much like how Ye Wen pointed at the master.

"Level 73? Why don't you say you're level 93? There should be a limit to bragging; if you blow it too hard, the cowhide will burst."

Zhuge Ni could not help but frown. She had seen Ye Lin at the Dragon Pool Secret Realm a few months ago; although Ye Lin had displayed extremely unreasonable physical strength back then, his level was only 28.

In this short amount of time, he went from level 28 to level 73? This was simply impossible to achieve, and she subconsciously felt that Ye Lin was just playing to the gallery.

"How come... you still haven't learned to keep your edge hidden."

Zhuge Ni could not help but shake her head. Recalling the time since she had known Ye Lin, this guy always carried an inexplicably strange confidence, and would offend people from time to time because of it.

Yet after suffering so many losses, the guy before her seemed to have learned nothing.

"What, you don't believe me?"

Ye Lin looked at Yun Guanlou with a smile.

"I believe, of course I believe. I also say I am Qin Shi Huang, do you believe that?" Yun Guanlou sneered.

"How about this, I remember your Supreme Academy has a Li Tomb Secret Realm. If I win against you, let me enter the Li Tomb Secret Realm, how about that?" Ye Lin stated his goal.

Going to the Li Tomb Secret Realm to get the corpse of the Skin Corpse King was the goal of his trip; teaching Yun Guanlou a lesson was just something he could do while he was at it.

"Impossible."

Before Yun Guanlou could speak, Su Chengxin, who was standing to the side, directly refused.

"The Supreme Academy's secret realms have never had a precedent for opening their doors to students from outside the academy."

The secret realms controlled by each academy were the foundation of their existence, so basically no academy would open their secret realms to outside students, and the Supreme Academy was even more so.

"No precedent? That's great, I like 'first times' the most. It seems one Yun Guanlou isn't enough to qualify, so how about this."

Ye Lin's gaze swept across the Supreme Academy's plaza.

"All of you students of the Supreme Academy present, come at me together. One counts as one, whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior, I will challenge all of you alone, life or death notwithstanding. If I win, let me enter the Li Tomb Secret Realm, how about it?"

As soon as Ye Lin finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar!

"Fuck! What the hell did you say? Challenge all of us alone? Who gave you the guts? Do you think we're trash?"

"Do you really think we at the Supreme Academy are made of mud? You must be tired of living!"

"Senior Brother Yun Guanlou, teach him a harsh lesson! Let him understand what it means to have someone beyond someone, and a heaven beyond heaven!"

The many students of the Supreme Academy were instantly incited to anger. Challenging them all alone—didn't this imply that not a single person in their entire Supreme Academy could fight?

If it weren't for teachers like Su Chengxin holding them back, there were even hot-headed guys who would have rushed up to beat Ye Lin on the spot.

"Ye Lin, I said it, the Li Tomb Secret Realm cannot be entered by outsiders. It's useless for you to play to the gallery here." Su Chengxin said coldly.

"I am not talented, but I happen to have one of the seven ancient artifacts of origin, the Eternal Ancient Book. If I lose, I will give this half of the Eternal Ancient Book to the Supreme Academy, how about that?"

Without a second word, Ye Lin took out half of a simple and mysterious bronze book. As soon as that bronze book appeared, the entire place fell silent instantly.

Ancient artifact of origin!

This was something that only existed in legends! Even many top powerhouses had never seen the shadow of an ancient artifact of origin in their entire lives.

Yet now, one of these ancient artifacts of origin had appeared right before their eyes!

What? You say Ye Lin is so high-profile, isn't he afraid of people with ulterior motives coming to seize his Eternal Ancient Book?

It doesn't matter, Xie Hong will take action.

The Xie family could not possibly watch a cooked duck be snatched away by others. Now that Ye Lin is high-profile, the trouble won't be his, it will only be the Xie family's, unless Xie Hong doesn't want the Eternal Ancient Book anymore.

Although it was only half an ancient artifact of origin, this was enough to shock everyone present.

The aura radiating from that bronze book could not even be compared to a divine artifact!

Su Chengxin was also stunned on the spot. She never expected that the young man she had turned away a year ago would take out half an ancient artifact of origin a year later!

At this moment, Su Chengxin seemed to have received instructions from someone and suddenly came back to her senses.

"Fine! Ye Lin, our Supreme Academy accepts this bet! If you can really win against everyone present, then what harm is there in letting you enter the Li Tomb Secret Realm? But I hope you will also abide by the agreement if you lose!" Su Chengxin said.

Ye Lin smiled very happily, and he smoothed his hair.

"Finally took the bait!"

It's no wonder the people of the Supreme Academy agreed so quickly; using half an ancient artifact of origin as bait to fish, looking at the entire history of humanity, only Ye Lin could pull that off.

"Ye Lin, I really don't know whether to admire your courage or laugh at your stupidity. Challenging everyone in the Supreme Academy alone, who do you think you are? But I still have to thank you for specifically delivering an ancient artifact of origin to my Supreme Academy!"

Yun Guanlou sneered repeatedly; in his eyes, Ye Lin's actions were just him coming to give it away for free.

Facing Yun Guanlou's mockery, Ye Lin was not angry; instead, he revealed an extremely amiable smile.

"Student Yun Guanlou, do you like to read books in your spare time?"

"Why are you asking this when you're about to die? I don't, so what?" Yun Guanlou looked at Ye Lin with disdain.

"That won't do. Books are the ladder of human progress; you absolutely must read! People must read more books! Since you don't usually read, I'll let you do some supplementary reading today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin's figure disappeared from where he stood like a ghost, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Yun Guanlou, scaring the wits out of him.

The next second, a thick and heavy bronze book swung directly toward Yun Guanlou's face!

"Student Yun Guanlou, you need to read more books!"
