Chapter 367

"But Lin Qi is different; he hasn't awakened!"

"Without awakening, the future path cannot be determined."

"If he happens to take the wrong path in the future, there will be huge risks."

"It might even delay a large amount of time."

"Currently, his physical talent is very advantageous, but he might also be surpassed by others in the future."

"And for decades, one of the conditions to become an SS-level genius is that one must awaken a special ability."

"There is absolutely no need to set a precedent for him!"

"Lest it make some people feel in the future that there is an opportunity to be exploited."

"Awakening a special ability is the most important indicator for identifying top-tier geniuses."

After Meng Wu finishes speaking, among the 20-plus people present, some nod and some shake their heads.

And Wu Lingyun shows a disdainful smile.

All this talk about future paths is nonsense; anyone with a discerning eye can see how good Lin Qi's talent is.

Meng Wu just doesn't want Lin Qi to be upgraded to an SS-level genius.

After all, no matter how strong Lin Qi is now, he is only an S-level genius and has not been officially certified as an SS-level genius.

Whether there is official certification or not, the status is completely different.

Meng Wu looks at everyone, and seeing those who have a good relationship with him nodding, he feels happy in his heart.

To tell the truth, he doesn't like Lin Qi.

In his heart, he has always felt that the other person is not worth mentioning, yet he caused himself to be scolded by the Special Envoy.

His authority has been challenged.

So he is unwilling for Lin Qi to be upgraded, and at the same time, there is a matter he himself is unwilling to admit.

He suddenly has an ominous feeling.

So he subconsciously wants to take action to suppress Lin Qi.

"Since there is a dispute, let's decide by voting!"

"One vote per person, the minority obeys the majority!"

Li Xiao speaks slowly, and as soon as his voice falls, a voting button appears in front of everyone.

"Beep beep!!"

In the center of the conference table, two large screens are projected.

Meng Wu and a few old friends glance at each other and reach a certain consensus.

He nods inwardly; among the 20-plus people present, there are also those who are unhappy with Lin Qi.

Added to the few people on his side, they might be able to outvote the other side.

"Beep!"

"Voting ended!"

An electronic voice comes from the air, and the voting results are refreshed on the projection screen.

【Agree: 19 votes】

【Oppose: 3 votes】

After seeing the results, Meng Wu is immediately dumbfounded.

How come there are only 3 votes in opposition!

He looks at his "old friends" again, but they either pretend not to see or ignore his gaze.

Wu Lingyun laughs directly:

"It seems everyone shares the same view!"

Li Xiao also rarely shows a smile and says:

"19 votes in favor, 3 votes against; I announce that starting from today, Lin Qi is officially promoted to an SS-level genius!!"

Following his announcement, this matter is settled.

Everyone nods; they are not stupid.

Li Qifeng is the principal of Firmament Shanyu Wuda; since he specifically brought it up today, he must want the person to be upgraded.

Otherwise, given his status, an SS-level upgrade would be a written notice directly, rather than sitting down and letting everyone vote.

Meng Wu's face is ugly at this time, because he has also come to his senses and is filled with regret.

He actually only realized it now.

"I have a matter that needs to be announced!"

At this time, the cold-tempered Special Envoy Qin speaks slowly:

"I have one more thing to announce!"

Everyone's gaze turns to her; every time the other person announces something, it is never a small matter.

She looks at Meng Wu beside Li Xiao and speaks:

"After high-level discussions, Meng Wu is removed from the position of Southern Inspector and demoted to the Mansion Master of the Gangling Branch in Beijiang Province."

"The position of Southern Inspector is succeeded by Wu Lingyun, who will also concurrently serve as the Mansion Master of the Tianhai City Branch!"

As soon as these words are spoken, everyone's gaze turns to Meng Wu!

Under the eyes of everyone, Meng Wu's face becomes unusually gloomy.

"Why?" he asks in questioning.

"What, are you questioning the decision of the upper echelons?" Special Envoy Qin asks.

Meng Wu feels the terrifying aura beside him suppressing him, and Li Xiao turns his head to look at him.

His heart chills, and he can only lower his head and say indignantly:

"I dare not!"

"I accept the arrangement!"

Special Envoy Qin nods and says: "Accepting is good; next time, do not question the decisions of the upper echelons again!"

Others remain silent; they are already high-level officials of the headquarters, and the only ones higher than them are other Ninth Realm martial artists.

"Then that's it, meeting adjourned!"

After Li Xiao finishes speaking, he is the first to stand up and turn to leave.

Meng Wu also follows and leaves, not willing to stay for even a second longer.

Special Envoy Qin's projection dissipates instantly, and the remaining people are in no rush to leave, but instead engage in casual chat.

"Old Wu, congratulations; from now on, you are the Southern Inspector!" someone says in congratulation.

"That's right, you must treat us!" everyone laughs.

Wu Lingyun is also overjoyed, a smile appearing on the corners of his mouth as he says:

"Luck, it's all just luck!"

"I can also be considered to have benefited from Lin Qi's light!"

He understands very well that although his strength is also at the peak of the Eighth Realm, he has no advantage at all when facing Meng Wu.

The four major inspectors possess the power to supervise and manage the various martial arts mansion branches.

The power is great, and the four have long been deeply rooted in their positions; his background is insufficient, and his strength is not the most top-tier, so wanting to move up is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But Lin Qi's appearance gave him a strong push.

"Truly grateful to this kid, Lin Qi!"

"By the way, I heard that Firmament Shanyu Wuda is already communicating to compete for an awakening fruit." "In all likelihood, Lin Qi will be able to get an awakening fruit!"

"Once Lin Qi awakens, that will be incredible!" a woman says.

Everyone nods; after awakening, with Lin Qi's talent, the future will be completely different.

The next day, Tianhai City.

In Villa No. 66.

Inside the martial arts room, Lin Qi, wearing a black martial arts uniform, looks at the large screen projected in front of him.

Liu Yuanzhang, who has a pair of large earlobes, appears on the opposite side.

He smiles and says:

"Lin Qi, regarding your two pieces of good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Lin Qi smiles: "Both are good news, it doesn't matter!"

Liu Yuanzhang smiles:

"The matter of you being upgraded to an SS-level contract has already been passed!"

!

"Today, your Tianhai Martial Arts Branch will find you to sign the contract!"

Lin Qi feels happy in his heart; he has finally been upgraded.

He has now been upgraded from an S-level genius to an SS-level genius, and his status in the martial arts mansion has also become completely different.

At the same time, his welfare and treatment will also become completely different.

He has now only experienced a part of the treatment for an SS genius.

If the treatment is fully upgraded, his strength will also have a significant improvement.

Liu Yuanzhang continues:

"The second piece of good news is that your awakening fruit has been settled!"

"This time, Dean Xue and his party went to the wilderness of another world and obtained quite a few heavenly treasures."

"Among them, there are two awakening fruits!"

"One of the awakening fruits has already been secured by our Firmament Shanyu Wuda."

"I can clearly tell you that this awakening fruit already belongs to you."

"Very soon, the awakening fruit will be sent back from the other world, and you can take it when school starts!"

Lin Qi feels surprised in his heart; the awakening fruit actually arrived so quickly.

It was much faster than he imagined.

He was just about to talk about his own awakening.

"Dean, you said this awakening fruit belongs to me?" he suddenly asks.

Liu Yuanzhang nods:

"That's right, this awakening fruit completely belongs to you."

"If you can use this awakening fruit to awaken, it will be good for both you and the school."

After hearing this, Lin Qi nods and says:

"However, I might not be able to use it anymore!"

Liu Yuanzhang frowns: "What do you mean you can't use it, could it be..."

He is stunned, looking at Lin Qi with a surprised expression.

"You... awakened?"

Lin Qi nods, and his body instantly blooms with dazzling golden light, and golden patterns emerge on the surface of his skin.

His eyes bloom with golden light, and gusts of fierce wind rise around him, like a forged divine weapon.

Layers of golden liquid cover the surface of his body, flowing slowly and creating ripples.

Liu Yuanzhang completely loses his composure, staring wide-eyed at the changes happening to Lin Qi's body.

He is a Seventh Realm martial artist with amazing eyesight and can clearly see whether Lin Qi has truly awakened.

But when he sees Lin Qi use a hand blade to slash out a golden blade, he is completely convinced.

His expression becomes dazed.

Lin Qi actually awakened on his own!

He awakened without using an awakening fruit.

"Lin Qi, no need to show it anymore; I can already confirm that you have awakened."

Liu Yuanzhang exhales and says.

Lin Qi also instantly retracts 【Golden Edge】 and asks:

"Dean, I have already awakened now, so does the awakening fruit still count as mine?"

"You won't take it back, will you?"

Liu Yuanzhang frowns and ponders for a moment; Lin Qi has awakened, so the awakening fruit is no longer needed.

His brain spins rapidly.

After a moment, he has a general idea, so he says:

"Since the awakening fruit is already yours, our Firmament Shanyu Wuda is not that stingy, so naturally we won't take it back."

"If you take it again, the effect won't be great."

"It itself is used to stimulate the sleeping power within us humans."

"Apart from that, it can only increase a little bit of Qi and blood value."

"To be honest, if you take it again, it's a bit of a waste!"

Lin Qi nods; he also considered this point, which is why he took the initiative to confess.

Liu Yuanzhang stands up and paces in the office, thinking while speaking.

"The awakening fruit is a scarce item, and there are too many people who want it."

"Every year there are about thirty S-level geniuses, and over the years there have been over a hundred."

"They are all eagerly waiting for an awakening fruit; once they awaken, there will be one more SS-level genius."

"I plan to use this awakening fruit to help you make a trade; whether it's money or resources, it will allow you to make a big profit."

Lin Qi nods; he was thinking the same thing.

"Then I'll leave it to the Dean!"

Liu Yuanzhang nods: "Rest assured, I definitely won't let you down."

After hanging up the phone.

Liu Yuanzhang exhales and shows a smile.

"This kid Lin Qi is really good at giving people surprises; he actually awakened just like that."

"Originally his talent was already stronger than an SS-level genius, and now that he has awakened, I don't know how much worse he is than an SSS-level genius."

"His future is completely worth looking forward to."

Liu Yuanzhang doesn't know to what extent Lin Qi will grow in the future, but this makes him feel excited.

This is a top-tier genius he brought out from when he was weak.

Thinking of this, he picks up his smartphone and starts contacting people.

Very soon, a screen is projected in front of him, and a burly face appears on the opposite side.

"Old Xu, do you want an awakening fruit?"
