Lin You paused and looked at the person who called him with a little surprise.
It was not an ordinary person, it was none other than Senior Wang!
Xia Yan and others also stopped and looked at Wang Xian in surprise.
Senior Wang, does he have something to talk to Lin You about?
Wang Xian smiled kindly and said slowly, "Friend Lin You, is it convenient for you to come with me now?"
"Senior, if you have something to ask, how can I not have time?"
Lin You didn't think much about it and responded respectfully.
"Okay then."
Wang Xian smiled and looked at Xia Yan, "Principal Xia, would you mind borrowing your precious student for a while?"
"Senior Wang, please do as you please."
Lin You had already agreed, so Xia Yan naturally wouldn't say anything more or ask any more questions.
As for why Wang Xian wanted to see Lin You and why he wanted to explain it privately, Xia Yan actually had some guesses, but at this time, he took everyone who was curious and left directly.
After Xia Yan and the others left, Long Yu, who seemed to know something, did not ask about this matter. He looked at Lin You with great admiration and said with a smile: "Lin You, you are indeed a handsome man! You are also so talented. In time, you may be the one to carry the banner of our Jiangcheng!"
"Mr. President, you are too kind."
Lin You said modestly, "I just wanted to do my best. I'm lucky to get a good result."
"Haha, don't be so modest."
Long Yu laughed and said, "Senior Wang, look at this kid! He's such a good kid! He knows how to be humble even at such a young age. Even with such a great victory, he can still maintain a humble heart. It's really not easy!"
Then, he patted Lin You on the shoulder and said with a smile, "But kid, humility is a virtue, but excessive self-humility is also a bad thing. Young people are young and frivolous, so you should be arrogant when you should be arrogant. If I had your achievements back then, I would have been so proud of myself long ago."
"I will keep the president's words in mind."
Lin You bowed to show that he understood.
"That's great, what a good kid!"
The more Long Yu looked at Lin You, the more he liked him. However, knowing that Senior Wang wanted to talk to Lin You about something, he didn't say much. He looked at Wang Xian and said respectfully, "Senior Wang, I'll leave this child to you. I'll get busy now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Wang Xian waved his hand and sent Long Yu away. His eyes fell on the respectful Lin You again, and he said with a smile, "My dear Lin You, there is no need to be so reserved in front of me. I don't like to be too formal. Just be casual, and we'll both be at ease."
Lin You was slightly stunned. This old senior was so powerful, yet he could still see that he was just pretending.
Of course, that's not entirely true. Respect is certainly there, but humility is probably not related to Lin You's nature.
"That's what the senior taught me."
At this moment, Lin You also relaxed a little and chuckled, "I still don't know why Senior is looking for me?"
"No rush."
Wang Xian said with a smile, "Just follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and began to lead the way, while Lin You followed slowly.
As you walk, look at your surroundings.
There are a lot of green plants planted in the huge park, making the air here particularly fresh.
Moreover, this smell is obviously unusual. Just smelling it makes me feel refreshed, and my thinking speed seems to have increased exponentially.
There are also many buildings in the park whose functions are unknown.
Many of these buildings exude a distinct magical aura.
Lin You could sense this, but it was normal. After all, this was the Jiangcheng Association, and there were many duelists hidden in it.
Soon, Wang Xian took him to a two-story building.
This building exudes a strong magical atmosphere.
But this is only the surface. Hidden within... is an even more powerful soul aura!
Lin You, who sensed this, immediately realized that this building was most likely Wang Xian’s exclusive office building.
"Let's go in."
As Wang Xian spoke, transparent soul power emerged from his hands, extremely pure!
Seeing the pure soul power that emerged in an instant, Lin You was shocked.
His previous perception was indeed correct. Senior Wang's psychic power was amazing, and this kind of transformation was as easy as pie.
Even Mr. Heiyuan needs about 1 minute to transform magic power into pure soul power!
“It just happened naturally.”
Wang Xian clearly noticed Lin You's surprise, smiled casually, and then put his palm on the door.
The seemingly ordinary door seemed to be activated at this moment, and a large number of mysterious patterns emerged from it.
After a brief outline, a dark blue formation appeared in front of the door.
Wang Xian and Lin You behind him did not need to move and they were already standing on the formation.
A faint blue light emerged from the formation and quickly enveloped the two of them.
A teleportation force is generated instantly.
Lin You only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he regained his clarity, what came into view was an extremely spacious laboratory.
In the laboratory, there are all kinds of spiritual tools, and soul cards and spirit stones are scattered all over the floor.
Whatever is in Heiyuan, we can find it here.
And here, there are many things that Lin You has never seen in the Black Source Laboratory.
The Black Source Laboratory, which was once priceless, is now just an inconspicuous little corner here.
Even though Lin You had only been a psychic for a short time and was still unfamiliar with many things related to psychic communication, it did not prevent him from being shocked.
These powerful psychics really have great fortunes!
"It's a little messy, don't mind."
Wang Xian chuckled, kicked away some things scattered in front of him, and walked towards a table.
Lin You followed and noticed a black box on the table.
"Coolie~"
Chestnut Ball also stared at the box, and it sensed some special aura from the box.
Lin You couldn't help but take it more seriously.
There are many treasures here, with various auras mixed together, but what finally attracted the little guy's special attention was this box, which shows how extraordinary it is.
Wang Xian quickly picked up the box, then looked at Lin You and asked with a smile, "Little friend Lin You, have you guessed why I called you this time?"
Lin You shook his head slightly, "Please give me some advice, Senior."
"You really save time."
Wang Xian laughed and suddenly said, "From what I understand, your teacher at Jiangcheng High School is Hei Yuan, right?"
"Senior Wang knows the teacher?"
Lin You was slightly surprised. He knew Hei Yuan's personality. He rarely went out. Not to mention the outside world, there were very few people in the university who had ever interacted with him. He didn't expect that Senior Wang would know his teacher.
"Naturally."
Wang Xian said in a very normal tone: "That's Xiao Fu's student. Actually, he's my grand-disciple."
Disciple!
Lin You was stunned for a moment, but he quickly remembered something and bowed hastily, saying, "Lin You greets Grand Master!"
Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, "The little guy is quite clever."
Pretty good at making connections!
But there is really no problem with this relationship.
Hei Yuan is Lin You’s master, and Wang Xian is his great-grandmaster, so doesn’t that mean he is Lin You’s great-grandmaster?
At this moment, Wang Xian realized something and looked at Lin You. "You called me Grand Master. Does that mean you have officially become my disciple?"
Lin You nodded, "Yes, it's been a while."
"That disciple really knows how to pick people."
Wang Xian was still a little surprised and suddenly asked, "What did he use as a gift to bribe you?"
“Not yet.”
Lin You shook his head, but added, "But the teacher also said that he would prepare a great gift for me. It just takes some time, so I'm not in a hurry. Besides, the teacher has guided me on the path of spiritual communication, and the effort he has put in is enough. I have benefited greatly from it, so why should I worry about those worldly things?"
"Nothing?"
Wang Xian was stunned this time. With some annoyance, he blurted out two words, "Old thief!"
“…”
Lin You was embarrassed. He was your disciple's grandson. It was not appropriate to call him that, right?
Wang Xian said seriously, "Young friend Lin You, don't you know how talented you are in spiritual communication? Given your potential, even if I were to be your master, it would be just right. My grand-disciple is marrying up to you. You said he discovered your talent, so I gave him this advantage. It's his luck, and I can barely tolerate it. But now, after becoming your master, he's so stingy that he can't even afford something as basic as a disciple gift. How can this be justified!"
The more he talked, the angrier he got.
"Grandmaster, please calm down."
Lin You quickly said, "Teacher has already had a heart-to-heart talk with me about these things. I understand everything. A teacher's job is to teach, educate, and resolve doubts. These teachers have done this, and they have done it very well. I have been deeply cared for by them, and I should be grateful."
After a pause, he continued, "Grandmaster, you said I have great potential. I don't deny that. My teacher also explained it to me very clearly. But no matter how high my potential is or how far I can go, I am only at the beginning stage. With my teacher's ability, he is more than enough to guide me through this journey. Please don't underestimate him."
"You're quite protective of him."
Hearing Lin You say this, Wang Xian's anger subsided a lot. With a hint of amusement, he said, "My dear Lin You, do you really mean this from the bottom of your heart? Are you not thinking about the disciple gift?"
Lin You's expression froze slightly, but he immediately spoke with righteous indignation, "Of course, gifts, no matter how great, have a price, but knowledge is priceless. The teacher's painstaking efforts to impart all his life's knowledge to me without reservation are the greatest gift of all."
"Alright, stop flattering my disciple."
Wang Xian didn't let him continue, and said with a smile: "Since that disciple is currently short of money, and you called me the Grand Master, and you just achieved such a good result for Jiangcheng, then as the Grand Master, I will give you a big gift on behalf of that stingy disciple."
"Thank you, Grand Master!"
Lin You's eyes instantly brightened. If Senior Wang wanted to give a gift, it must be something extraordinary.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be something related to psychic communication.
This person's attainments in spiritual communication are incredibly high, and the quality of the things he produces can be imagined.
My heart was suddenly filled with anticipation.
Wang Xian looked at him with a half-smile, and Lin You felt a little embarrassed and suppressed some of his excitement.
I actually didn’t really care about the gift from the teacher for accepting me as his disciple!
Okay... gotta admit, a little bit.
Wang Xian looked at Lin You for a while, then smiled and picked up the black box on the table.
Lin You has been eyeing the box for a long time. When he heard Wang Xian say that he wanted to give a big gift, the first thing he thought of was this black box. Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
“Guess what’s in the box?”
Wang Xian seemed to still retain his childishness, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Grandmaster, you are unfathomable. How can this junior understand your thoughts? Grandmaster..."
"I can't guess I won't send you off."
Lin You was speaking respectfully, but Wang Xian's sudden words made him swallow back what he was about to say.
I almost choked!
If you can’t guess it, don’t give it to me... How can you, a highly respected senior, be so naughty!
Lin You wanted to say something, but seeing that Wang Xian didn't really seem to be joking, he immediately began to think hard.
What exactly does this cheap grandmaster plan to give me?
It must be very valuable, right?
Psychics are all wealthy people, not to mention a super psychic of the level of the Grand Master!
The thing he took out must be even more extraordinary.
Could it be a card engraved with a high-level star spirit pattern?
With cards of this level, even an ordinary psychic master would have a low chance of successfully drawing them.
Therefore, you need to be extremely cautious when taking action, otherwise a failure may result in heavy losses.
But if it were Wang Xian, it should be easy for him to outline ordinary high-star cards.
Will it be a high-star card?
It's possible, but seems unlikely.
After thinking for a while, Lin You gave up this answer.
Although high-star cards are precious, they are of little significance to him at this stage and he cannot use them at all.
Although it could also be sold in exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources, Lin You felt that given the old senior's temperament, the gift he gave him should have some immediate effect.
The most important thing is... it is probably closely related to his own soul power!
Thinking of this, Lin You had some ideas.
"You thought of it?"
Noticing the change in his eyes, Wang Xian smiled kindly.
Lin You nodded slightly. "I can't explain it in detail, but it should be related to my soul power. Senior Wang, are you planning to give me a chance to transform?"
"How clever."
Wang Xian laughed. "However, with your current aptitude of awakening the source of your soul, no matter how rare the treasure is, it can't be said to help you transform... At best, it can only help you accelerate it."
"Senior, have you noticed?"
Lin You was surprised. The source of the soul, this thing exists like the core of the soul. Logically, it should be hidden very well.
Senior Wang can even sense this?
There's no way you can perceive this thing!
Wang Xian chuckled and said, "It seems that saying is true. Even smart people can be confused sometimes. Have you forgotten what a feat you just accomplished in the competition? Or do you want to say that you've reached the Glory level?"
Lin You suddenly realized.
I almost forgot, normally, summoning the Red Star Monster requires the support of the Spirit Shell.
The only way outside of the spirit shell is the source of the soul.
He is still far from the Glory Level, so such an unconventional summoning can only be explained by the source of the soul.
Wang Xian, a powerful psychic, saw through all this with ease.
Lin You didn't care about being seen through by such a top-level psychic. That wasn't what he was concerned about at the moment. He asked expectantly, "Grandmaster, you are truly extremely clever. So, Grandmaster, is my answer correct?"
"Well..."
Wang Xian looked very embarrassed and kept the question in suspense.
Lin You complained in his heart, your acting skills are not that good, but he still pretended to be anxious on the surface.
"Okay, you've barely passed."
Wang Xian spoke reluctantly, and then directly opened the black box in his hand.
Lin You looked over immediately. This was a special existence that even the little guy felt was special!
The moment the box was opened, a flash of white light passed by and disappeared in an instant.
But at this moment, Lin You felt as if something had impacted the depths of his soul... no, to be exact, it was a stimulation.
It boiled over in an instant, as if expressing a desire.
The strange movement of the soul surprised Lin You, and his eyes were immediately fixed on the box.
Inside the box, a pure white gem was quietly placed.
It is somewhat similar to the card soul, but in terms of size, it is much smaller than the card soul, probably similar to a marble.
In addition, this orb does not have the texture of glass, but an unknown material, which gives it an illusory feel.
After staring at the pearl for a while, many scenes seemed to flash before Lin You's eyes.
There are natural scenes, tall buildings, flashing human figures, and roaring monsters!
All-inclusive!
When he came to his senses, he found that everything was empty.
Magical orb!
At this moment, Lin You dared to conclude that this gem was not simple.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for his soul to show obvious movements and see all kinds of illusions when he is not paying attention.
Also, this illusion...seems somewhat familiar!
Yes, at this moment Lin You felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had experienced it somewhere before.
At this time, the chestnut ball floated over, waved its claws, and broke through the air.
And in the broken air, a figure emerged.
"Coolie~"
Another chestnut ball!
Lin You understood instantly.
The source of the soul!
He had also seen this illusion in his own spiritual world.
Of course, there are some differences in the situations, but the final outcome is the same.
That is the fake Chestnut Ball, or Chestnut Ball No. 2.
Soon, the fake chestnut ball disappeared without a trace.
Lin You stared at the pure white gem. Is this thing related to the source of the soul?
"Why, did you sense something?"
Wang Xian seemed to know why Lin You had lost his mind just now, and said with some emotion: "It is indeed the source of the soul. At such a young age, he has awakened the source of the soul. It is really an enviable psychic talent."
Even someone as strong as Wang Xian used the word "envy" at this moment!
Lin You asked curiously, "Grandmaster, what is this pearl..."
"Daoyuan Pearl."
Wang Xian chuckled softly and said, "You may not have heard of it, but if an experienced psychic saw this thing, they might go crazy."
Lin You asked in surprise, "You mean, this source bead is extremely precious to us psychics?"
"That's right."
Wang Xian nodded and explained, "Its function is actually very simple. It helps psychics to steadily develop their own soul source. Psychics below the Grandmaster level can all benefit from it."
At the end, he even made a special joke, "Your unreliable master will probably be jealous when he sees this thing. When you take it back, make sure he doesn't see it, or he might rob you."
“…”
Lin You was speechless. Would his teacher rob him?
Not really!
The old man may be a little poor, but his spirit is strong. How could he do such a shameless thing?
Of course, believing in the Black Source is one thing, but Wang Xian's statement also made Lin You realize the preciousness of this source bead.
That's something even psychics would envy!
Realizing this, he quickly said, "Grandmaster, isn't it too extravagant and wasteful to spend such a precious thing on me now? If the teacher can benefit from it, wouldn't it be more appropriate for him to use it? Helping a psychic master expand the source of his soul is not on the same level as helping a psychic newbie like me!"
"You're wrong."
Wang Xian shook his head and corrected himself, "The Dao Source Pearl, normally speaking, is much better for a strong person than for a newcomer. But are you just an ordinary newcomer? The Dao Source Pearl's effectiveness is linked to strength, but that's only superficial. Its essence is linked to potential. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin You said without hesitation: "Grandmaster, you mean that I should use this Dao Source Pearl to achieve excellent results?"
"More than excellent!"
Wang Xian exclaimed, "This is a match made in heaven!"
“Ahem…”
Lin You coughed dryly twice and said this as if I was going to enter the wedding hall with this pearl.
Never mind, that's not the point.
The point is, it seems like we've made a lot of money this time. Although we're still not quite sure about the specific effect of this source bead, since Senior Wang has already agreed on it, can there be any difference?
At that moment, he also hurriedly asked: "Then, Grand Master, how should I use this Dao Source Pearl?"
"Simple."
Wang Xian smiled and said, "Use the source of your soul to refine it."
Refining the source of the soul?
Lin You looked confused, he didn't quite understand how to operate it.
"Take it back and ask your master."
Wang Xian said, "In the near future, it's not the best time to refine it. The Daoyuan Pearl is said to be able to help psychics below the Grandmaster level to open up the source of their souls, but the base can't be too low. As for spiritual power, at least 500 is necessary. But with your potential, plus the help of your master, even though he's not very reliable, as you said, it's enough for the current stage. 500 spiritual power will be a quick thing for you."
After saying this, he put the source bead back into the treasure box and said, "It's not advisable to stare at this thing for too long. If you're not careful, you might get sucked into it and become mentally lost, which wouldn't be good."
"Well, if you are satisfied with this gift, please accept it."
Wang Xian handed the black box in his hand to Lin You.
As Lin You accepted it, he quickly thanked him, "Thank you for the generous gift, Grand Master. I will not disappoint you in the future. I will keep my feet on the ground, practice diligently, and strive to be the best."
"Okay, stop saying these nice words."
Wang Xian waved his hand and tapped Lin You's head with his finger. "You little brat, you're so dishonest. I told you to stop being so reserved. To be frank, don't hide your temper. I don't like people doing this to you. Be direct and say what you want to say."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin You grinned and said, "Grandmaster, you have wronged me. I am not hiding anything. I am honest."
"hehe."
Wang Xian was too lazy to say anything more. He suddenly raised his hand, and a dark blue formation quickly appeared under Lin You's feet.
As the power of teleportation surged, Wang Xian's last words rang in Lin You's ears. "Let's go, little fellow. You are truly a demon. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to disappoint me. The road is right under your feet. Just keep going according to your will."
The sound spread and Lin You's eyes blurred.
This time, it took a long time.
But when he regained his vision, the scene before him was not the park he had imagined, but a busy street.
This was directly teleported out of the association!
The black box was still in his hand. Lin You breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the street scene in front of him. He suddenly felt refreshed.
It’s over...National Freshman Exchange Competition!
Although it was only a few days, looking back, it seems like a dream.
It feels unreal!
But it was not because he won the final victory. When he realized in private experiments that the Source of Soul was enough to support the Gunner Dragon and detected the terrifying power of the Gunner Dragon, he felt that it was a sure thing.
The only variable is that Lin You doesn't know the contestants well enough.
Especially in the eyes of the outside world, he is the new Demon Emperor King who is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
All those rumors made Lin You almost think that these two might be able to perform such extreme operations.
The fact is, he was overthinking it. Not everyone is as amazing as him.
What Lin You felt was unreal was naturally referring to the harvest this time.
It's really too huge!
His only thought now was to act like a fool, to act like a fool to death!
Dude, I'm not short of money now!
Transforming resources into strength and then earning more resources is Lin You’s unchanging purpose of cultivation.
At this moment, I quickly stopped a car and went back to the university first!
"Lin You?"
As soon as I got in the car, the driver noticed something through the rearview mirror and asked tentatively.
Without waiting for Lin You to answer, he stood up ecstatically: "Lin You, it really is you!"
Without even bothering to rub his head, he suddenly stood up and hit the roof of the car. The driver turned around, as if ready to devour Lin You alive like a hungry tiger.
Lin You was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? Why was it so exaggerated?
Even if you recognize me as Lin You, there is no need, right?
By the way, am I really that famous?
Is the title of Jiangcheng Rookie King so effective and attracting so much attention?
Although he was confused, in order to prevent the middle-aged man from going crazy, Lin You said with a smile: "Master, do you know me?"
"I know him, how could I not know him?"
The driver nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and said excitedly, "You are now the pride of us Jiangcheng people, the National Rookie of the Year! I dared not even imagine it, what a brilliant achievement! Ye Shen finally has a successor!"
"Has the news spread already?"
Lin You was shocked. The competition had just ended not long ago, right?
Although there were many spectators, the news could not be spread outside the venue.
If you want to pass on the message, you have to come out first, and the time is even shorter.
What happened? Any taxi driver knew about it.
"Don't you know? This news has been all over the major forums for over half an hour. Many news media outlets are working overtime to finish their articles. Many reporters are probably squatting near your Jiangcheng University to interview people."
As the driver spoke, he took out his cell phone and showed it to Lin You.
Lin You took a look and found that it was true. The news had spread everywhere and the whole Jiangcheng was shocked!
This time, Lin You's name is really known to everyone in Jiangcheng.
"Master, don't go through the main gate later. Follow the path I tell you to take."
Lin You quickly explained that it was not that he didn't like to be in the spotlight, but he was not in the mood for that right now and couldn't wait to go back and spend money!
Not only the duel points saved up before, but also three chances to draw cards from the intermediate roulette!
These are what Lin You is more concerned about now.
The driver understood, but before leaving, he hurriedly said, "Lin You, take a photo with me first. Oh, and sign your name. Where should I sign? Let me think about it. Just sign my steering wheel. With it, I'll be the most prestigious driver in Jiangcheng!"
Lin You was a little amused and confused. This driver was really creative.
But thinking about it, it was true, and he couldn't help but agree: "What you said makes sense."
After quickly meeting the driver's request, the car started.
…
When Lin You returned to Jiangcheng University through the side door, he felt relieved.
When I passed by the main gate just now, I saw quite a few reporters hanging around. If I was not mistaken, some students from Jiangcheng University were also being interviewed.
These people were quite excited when being interviewed, and the content of the interviews was obviously related to this competition.
"Hey, God Lin, you really came back through this side door!"
As soon as I entered the side door, a familiar voice came. Guo Rui walked over with a smile, and a smug look flashed in his eyes.
"Don't make it public for now."
Seeing him, Lin You remained calm and just quickly explained something.
"God Lin has spoken, how dare we disobey?"
Guo Rui expressed his opinion instantly, his small eyes narrowed into slits.
Lin You suddenly stared at him. This guy, every time he showed this expression, he must have bad intentions.
"How can you talk like that, what Forest God?"
"National Rookie of the Year!"
Guo Rui looked at Lin You with admiration and said with deep emotion, "This is a replica of what Ye Shen did back then. Ye Shen is too far away from us, like a living legend. But you are different. You are right next to us, creating such a miracle. Isn't it more appropriate to call you 'Lin Shen'?"
"Too strong, really too strong!"
At this moment, Guo Rui's heart was filled with emotion. If he was not already familiar with Lin You, he would have been unable to help but bow down to him.
This is a walking legend!
Lin You ignored him and looked around. Fortunately, there were not many people around. They were probably attracted by the movement at the main gate.
This kid knows himself well enough!
I also know that I, who have never been shy about being in the spotlight, will choose to avoid the limelight and take the side door at this time.
Without saying much, he walked along a secluded path and prepared to return to the villa.
But Guo Rui reminded him in time, "Lin You, don't go back to the villa, otherwise you will experience what it's like to be surrounded by many fangirls. Actually, I don't mind helping you experience it, I just regret that I don't have the ability to do it."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Lin You muttered, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How's it going with Mentor Lin?"
"I can't guarantee other locations, but at least no one dares to approach your teacher's courtyard."
Guo Rui replied that Hei Yuan, the rather mysterious tutor at Jiangcheng University, was quite intimidating.
"Okay, I don't have any work for you for now."
Lin You didn't waste any time and went straight to his mentor Lin... Of course, he took a detour.
It would be a good idea to go to the teacher first, so I can ask about the Daoyuan Pearl.
By the way, spend it well.
There are quite a few empty rooms in the teacher's courtyard, so it's no problem to just prepare one and use it first.
