Douluo: I Pretend To Be Reborn
Soon, Shi Lin was taken to a classroom in the sixth grade of the Academy.
Along the way, many sixth-grade students stood on both sides of the corridor, watching Shi Lin, as if they were welcoming him.
However, these people had unfriendly eyes; they didn't seem to be welcoming him, but rather threatening him.
Shi Lin shook his head helplessly at these people; this was too much like a child's game.
Could it be that they're planning a trap?
Although Shi Lin doesn't have a soul ring yet, he does have a sleeping incense produced by a Bewitching Incense Gu. This incense is just as toxic as the Datura Serpent. Although it's not a high-level weapon, it's more than enough to deal with these kids.
Therefore, Shi Lin was not worried about his safety at all.
Notting Junior Academy has only six grades, from first to sixth grade. As long as your soul power level reaches level 20, you can apply for graduation.
Of course, students will graduate directly when they reach the age of twelve, since this is only a junior Academy.
With only a few months left until graduation, Xiao Chenyu planned to get a sum of gold soul coins from Shi Lin to live a carefree life, since his family wouldn't give him much pocket money.
As soon as Shi Lin entered the classroom, he saw Xiao Chenyu sitting imposingly on the podium.
Xiao Chenyu also looked at Shi Lin with a gloomy gaze.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, I've missed you so much! Why did you leave without saying goodbye last night?" Shi Lin said to Xiao Chenyu with great enthusiasm, while moving closer to him.
Xiao Chenyu's henchmen quickly stopped Shi Lin, preventing him from getting close to Xiao Chenyu.
Seeing Shi Lin's enthusiastic expression, Xiao Chenyu snorted disdainfully, inwardly cursing that businessmen were all shameless, getting scared as soon as he was threatened.
The others also looked at Shi Lin with hostility.
"Brother Shi, last night, I remember you were reluctant to join my team. Was there something wrong with you?" Xiao Chenyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Lin with a cold expression.
Xiao Chenyu's tone was chilling, meaning that if Shi Lin didn't give him an explanation today, he would make Shi Lin die here.
"Brother Xiao, it's not that I don't want to join your team, it's just that my talent is too poor. My innate soul power level is only level three. If I don't work hard to cultivate, I'm afraid I'll never be able to break through to level ten in my lifetime." Shi Lin sighed, his young face full of helplessness. His sincere expression made Xiao Chenyu unable to find a reason to beat Shi Lin up.
Shi Lin only needs to play dumb to deal with this kind of spoiled young master; there's no need for a direct confrontation.
Moreover, the Shi family is not yet capable of challenging the City Lord's Mansion, so Shi Lin has no way to kill Xiao Chenyu.
When the Shi family rises to power in the future, Shi Lin will definitely use this guy as a sacrifice.
As for those who loudly proclaim things like "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," that's just fiction. If someone said that today, they'd be lucky to escape a beating.
Shi Lin wasn't a masochist; he just needed to keep this hatred in his heart and take revenge openly and honestly when he became stronger in the future.
Xiao Chenyu was now in a difficult position, after all, he was the son of the city lord of Notting City, and he was known at school for his generosity and magnanimity, with no history of bullying his classmates.
After all, Xiao Chenyu was planning to take over his father's business after graduation, so a good reputation was very important to him.
"Shi Lin, the main reason I invited you here today is to get you to join my team. If you don't join... I have a favor to ask." Xiao Chenyu laughed heartily, then walked up to Shi Lin, put his arm around Shi Lin's shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Hmm? Brother Xiao, please feel free to speak." Shi Lin raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile.
"We're a little short on cash lately…you see…" Xiao Chenyu looked at Shi Lin with ill intent, his tone full of threat.
Shi Lin was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that Xiao Chenyu would contact him for the gold soul coins. Originally, Shi Lin thought that Xiao Chenyu wanted to help his father and wanted to take action against the Shi family.
It was all for money.
Shi Lin also looked down on Xiao Chenyu. At his age, all he cared about was eating, drinking, and having fun. He was addicted to these things, and Xiao Chenyu was a good-for-nothing.
However, Shi Lin couldn't show his dislike on the surface; instead, his smile became even brighter.
"Although I can't join Brother Xiao's team, I'm willing to contribute my modest efforts." Shi Lin took out his money bag and handed it to Xiao Chenyu without hesitation.
If something can be solved with money, then it's not a problem.
However, he wasn't going to swallow this insult easily. Shi Lin cursed inwardly, "Give me a year or two, and your father might not even be a match for me. Then I'll make your family disappear under mysterious circumstances."
Shi Lin is still too weak and is no match for Xiao Tianhe. Given enough time, Shi Lin will definitely be able to defeat Xiao Tianhe in the future.
After all, Shi Lin possessed those strange Gu worms.
Xiao Chenyu was stunned. He hadn't expected Shi Lin to give him the gold soul coins so readily. He had originally thought he would have to intimidate him to get the money.
Although Xiao Chenyu is the son of the city lord of Notting City, he doesn't have much pocket money.
Xiao Chenyu weighed Shi Lin's money pouch in his hand; it contained at least several dozen silver soul coins. Although not many, it was enough for him to live a carefree life for a while.
"Although you've made a great contribution to the team, you scared me yesterday after all. How about this, let me beat you up, and we'll call it even." Xiao Chenyu put the money bag into his pocket and then gave Shi Lin a fierce smile.
Shi Lin was stunned for a moment. This guy had no sense of chivalry. He took the money and then beat him up. So he prepared to crush the sleeping pills in his hand. That way, at least he could avoid getting beaten up.
Just as Shi Lin was about to use the drug, a tall figure appeared at the classroom door.
"What's wrong?" A deep voice came from outside the classroom, tinged with anger.
"Dean?" Xiao Chenyu looked up upon hearing this and subconsciously greeted the person.
"Heh, what were you planning to do if I hadn't come today?" A burly middle-aged man slowly walked into the classroom, looking at the people in front of him with a calm gaze.
"Uncle Yan, we were just joking with Shi Lin," Xiao Chenyu said, jumping down from the podium to the middle-aged man in front of him.
Shi Lin looked up at the man. He was two meters tall, with a burly build and strong, muscular arms. He exuded an aura of decisiveness and ruthlessness, and had the bloodthirstiness of a soldier.
This is Yan Jin, the principal of Notting Junior Academy.
"Student Shi Lin greets Dean." Shi Lin bowed respectfully to Yan Jin.
"Xiao Chenyu, is this one of your sixth-grade students?" Yan Jin stared at Shi Lin for a moment, then turned to Xiao Chenyu and asked with a frown.
"Uncle Yan, this is a first-year student. We just happen to have similar interests, so he came to visit me," Xiao Chenyu said with a smile after a moment of surprise.
"Yes, Dean, I came to visit Brother Xiao." Shi Lin wisely covered up the lie.
"Class is about to start. You're a first-year student, stop coming this way and go back to class." Yan Jin frowned slightly as he looked at Shi Lin, then waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes, Dean, Brother Xiao, I'll head back now." Shi Lin bowed to Yan Jin first, then smiled and said to Xiao Chenyu.
After finishing his sentence, Shi Lin quickly left the sixth-grade classroom and headed towards the first-grade classroom.
Shi Lin lowered his head as he walked, pondering information about Yan Jin.
Notting City belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire, but it is only 200 kilometers away from the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, so trade is thriving.
There are two main forces in Notting City. One is the City Lord's Mansion of the Heaven Dou Empire, which is the Xiao family to which Xiao Chenyu belongs.
The head of the Xiao family is also the city lord of Notting City, Xiao Tianhe, whose Spirit is the Silver Wolf, his soul power level is 52, and he is a powerful attack-type battle soul master.
Xiao Tianhe controls the entire operation of Notting City and the strength of the city's defense forces.
The other force is the Spirit Hall, mainly composed of people like Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao.
Generally speaking, the city lord and the bishop of the Spirit Hall Branch Hall are of similar strength.
However, a year ago, the bishop of the Notting City Spirit Hall was transferred back to Spirit City due to a promotion, and in the year since then, the Spirit Hall has not appointed a new bishop.
This led to the situation where the Xiao family held absolute power in Notting City.
The Heaven Dou Empire realized this wouldn't do; if things continued this way, they wouldn't be able to collect taxes in the future. So, a few months ago, the Heaven Dou Empire sent a Soul Master to supervise Xiao Tianhe.
And this person is Yan Jin!
Yan Jin was merely the honorary principal of Notting Junior Academy; his true purpose in coming to Notting City was to supervise Xiao Tianhe.
Yan Jin's Spirit is the Snowflake Iron Chain, with a soul power level of 55, making him a control-type battle soul king.
Yan Jin's strength is higher than Xiao Tianhe's, and Yan Jin does not have any real power, so he can keep Xiao Tianhe in check.
However, Shi Lin really couldn't understand why Yan Jin would help him. Shi Lin firmly believed that his father didn't have such strong connections.
Moreover, Yan Jin's appearance was very timely, and Shi Lin did not believe it was a coincidence.
Suddenly, Shi Lin realized something: Yan Jin had no authority, so he probably couldn't collect the money.
And it just so happens that his family is rich!
Shi Lin understood instantly.
"Yan Jin has just established himself in Notting City and is probably looking to make money. We need to find out what kind of person he is. If possible, Yan Jin could be a good backer," Shi Lin muttered, stroking his chin.
Yan Jin has no real power, so he probably won't exploit the Shi family too much. Therefore, it might be worth trying to ally with Yan Jin.
"Sigh... It's just too hard for ordinary people to live." Shi Lin shrugged and sighed.
