Chapter 29 Zhilin: Looks like I'll have to be willful for a chapter too!
Although Qin Ming and Lin Hao were not officially master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple.
Shrek Academy never taught Qin Ming a single soul skill.
Qin Ming is a person who knows how to be grateful and repay kindness.
Given Lin Hao's age, he can participate in two Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournaments. The earlier he participates in the tournament, the more advantageous it will be for Lin Hao.
Therefore, Qin Ming took the initiative to recommend Lin Hao, who only had two spirit rings, to the three instructors to become a member of the Royal Fighting Team.
Yu Tianheng's expression was complicated, and he looked at Lin Hao with surprise. "It was him!"
Lin Hao may not know that Qin Ming once helped Yu Tianheng obtain his third spirit ring by using the Rasengan.
The members of the Royal Fighting Team all had their eyes on the Rasengan.
In particular, Yu Tianheng took the initiative to ask Qin Ming to teach him the Rasengan.
Qin Ming refused, explaining that he had promised Lin Hao that he would not teach anyone the Rasengan without Lin Hao's permission.
Yu Tianheng lowered his head, his heart aching even more. The person he looked down upon was the one he would have to curry favor with in order to learn the Rasengan.
call!
Yu Tianheng exhaled heavily.
Lin Hao has proven that he is qualified to join the Royal Fighting Team.
The three instructors then discussed the matter and decided to let Graphite and Stone Mill from the Royal Fighting Team's seeded teams decide who would stay in Royal Fighting Team 1 and who would go to Royal Fighting Team 2.
The two brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, both possess the martial spirit of the Xuanwu Turtle. Ultimately, Shi Mo, the older brother, decided to join the Royal Fighting Team 2.
"Alright, it's decided then." Chief Dream Master stood up and said, "Lin Hao, congratulations on becoming a seeded member of the Royal Fighting Team. According to the rules, you will receive a cultivation subsidy of 500 gold soul coins per month, plus an extra crystal peach each year during your time at school. If there's nothing else, everyone can leave!"
"Wait a minute!"
Sanxi Zhilin stood up and walked to Lin Hao, looking down at Lin Hao who was shorter than him, and said seriously, "Lin Hao, do you have a teacher?"
Lin Hao said, "I have not taken anyone else as my master!"
Zhilin continued, "Then, would you be willing to let me guide you in developing your martial spirit?"
Lin Hao answered without hesitation, "No."
Zhilin was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Lin Hao replied, "With a teacher, I can't learn from others. Without a teacher, I can learn from many people."
"Well!"
Zhilin was stunned again. He hadn't expected that Lin Hao didn't want to become someone else's apprentice for this reason.
Once a Soul Master has a teacher, they can never take another as their teacher for the rest of their life, otherwise they will be despised by the world.
Zhi Lin was very satisfied with Lin Hao and said enticingly, "Your martial soul and my martial soul, Azure Vine, both belong to the plant type."
As he spoke, to increase the allure, Zhilin reached out his hand, and a shimmering light appeared in his palm, revealing vines as lustrous as jade.
Eight spirit rings emerged from beneath his feet, their colors ranging from two yellow, two purple, and four black from the inside out.
Zhilin's voice rang out again, "If you become my disciple, I will pass on all my life's experience to you. Under my guidance, you will surely advance to the Soul Saint realm within fifteen years!"
Zhilin was very confident in himself. Many people in the academy wanted to become his disciples, but he refused them all.
For decades, Zhilin had never taken on a disciple. He felt he should indulge himself for once today.
Lin Hao shook his head and said, "I'm not interested."
Why?
"To be honest, my second soul skill isn't called the 'Prosperous Branches Shelter Umbrella.' It's called 'Myriad Vines Shelter!'"
As he spoke, Lin Hao unleashed the soul skill of his second soul ring.
The protection of ten thousand vines comes from the thousand-year-old soul beast, the Shattered Star Blood Vine. It controls Blue Silver Grass to entwine the person being assisted.
The surface of the Blue Silver Grass gleams with a lustrous green light, containing extremely strong resilience and vitality.
It can not only withstand physical attacks and energy impacts, but also secrete a viscous liquid when attacked. When the liquid comes into contact with an ally, it can repair their damaged soul power, allowing teammates to recover and heal their injuries while defending.
Because it's called the Shattered Star Blood Vine, which contains the word "blood," the sap of the Blue Silver Grass also has the added effect of relieving fatigue.
Lin Hao majored in life sciences, and his direction has never changed.
He did not follow the path of balanced evolution, but rather the path of extreme evolution.
The second soul skill focuses on healing; the other additional effects are all extra effects added by the soul beast's soul rings.
The blue silver grass grew into vines, wrapping around Lin Hao's chest and limbs.
The thin vines, like geckos or human meridians, cling to the skin, not appearing at joints, and do not affect bodily movements.
Lin Hao's mind raced, and he said, "I've made some changes to the Myriad Vine Protection technique. I'll name the derivative skill of my second soul skill 'Flourishing Branch Protection Umbrella'."
As he spoke, the thin vines that had been wrapped around Lin Hao's chest and limbs detached from his body and soon formed a blue-silver umbrella above his head.
Lin Hao said confidently, "Even without a teacher, I am confident that I can break through to the Soul Emperor realm within ten years."
Tang San advanced to become a six-ring Soul Emperor at the age of 21.
Kou can go, so can I.
Lin Hao is eleven years old now, and he is confident that he can become a Soul Emperor when he is twenty-one.
There is a reason for doing this.
Lin Hao is proving to Zhi Lin with his own strength that he doesn't need to learn from others.
When persuasion failed, Zhilin decided to resort to force, threatening, "I am the third-ranked member of the Education Committee. If you want to become a member of the Royal Fighting Team, my signature is required on your nomination letter. If you don't agree, I won't sign it. Without my signature, you can't become a seeded member! You'd better think carefully about whether you want to become my disciple! Becoming my disciple will not only make you a seeded member, but also allow you to receive my life's cultivation insights!"
For many years, Zhilin had never met a student who moved him.
Zhilin made up his mind that he would act willfully today. Even if Lin Hao was unwilling, he would force Lin Hao to become his disciple.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Hao replied honestly, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I still don't want to become your disciple! If there's nothing else, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
With that, Lin Hao turned and left.
His steps were calm and firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Ming, eager to help Lin Hao, caught up with him, stopped him, and questioned him with exasperation, "Lin Hao, the Third Master only asked you to become his disciple; he didn't make things difficult for you. Is it worth it? You should know that many people wanted to become Senior Zhilin's disciples, but he refused them all!"
Lin Hao said solemnly, "What I have lost is not truly mine; what I have sought is what binds me. A wise man uses things, but is not used by them. Teacher Qin Ming, thank you for what you have done for me. The stage for success and fame is not limited to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition! Others may be vying to become his disciples, but I, Lin Hao, do not care!"

P.S.: There's a plot twist later, so don't rush. This is a technique of building suspense before revealing the truth. Please be patient, everyone; the author never writes angst. Stay tuned for the next development.
