The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

First period.

The school bell rang.

His homeroom teacher, Liu Song, pushed open the classroom door right on time and walked in.

He wore a faint smile, the corners of his mouth turned slightly upward. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

It looked like he was in a good mood today.

As he stood at the lectern, his gaze first fell upon Lin Yi.

There were a few fewer students in school today than on Friday.

Only a dozen or so people were still sitting in the classroom.

For the most part, the remaining students were not taking the Martial Arts exam, with the exception of Lin Yi...

The morning’s academic classes weren’t boring for Lin Yi.

Even though he had already registered and was now a student preparing for the Martial Arts exam, he was still taking class notes.

He diligently recorded every single key point.

It was a long-standing habit of his.

Subconsciously, he knew that even if his future path was inevitably in Martial Arts, academic classes were still important.

He had no desire to become an uncultured Martial Artist in the future...

"You’ve already registered?"

Liu Song was all smiles.

Lin Yi nodded. "Yes, I’ve registered. Thank you for your concern, Teacher Liu!"

"It’s nothing. In fact, even Coach Qi thinks very highly of your Martial Arts talent!"

"We all share the same thought: we don’t want to see a talent go to waste!"

"Besides, your family situation is a little different from others. I understand what’s on your mind. Just focus on preparing for the Martial Arts exam. I believe you can definitely get into a Martial Arts University!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Lin Yi nodded.

At that moment, it wasn’t just him who breathed a sigh of relief.

You could clearly see that his homeroom teacher was also relieved for him.

"By the way, Coach Yang from the New Star Martial Arts Hall also has a very high opinion of you!"

"He called me right after third period ended. He wanted me to tell you that you’ve been given a spot for free admission to the Martial Arts Hall!"

"If you have time, you should go over and take care of the enrollment paperwork!"

"This is an excellent opportunity for you!"

"There are still over two months left. Give it your all in this final sprint. If you can raise your cultivation to the Two-Star Realm before the Martial Arts exam!"

"A Martial Arts University might just make an exception and accept you!"

A flash of surprise crossed Lin Yi’s eyes.

’He hadn’t expected the New Star Martial Arts Hall to actually agree to let him enroll for free?’

Although Yang Yong had said before that getting a free opportunity was, in reality, an investment for the Martial Arts Hall.

If they bet on the right person and Lin Yi got into a Martial Arts University, the Martial Arts Alliance would give them a handsome reward.

As for what that reward was, Yang Yong hadn’t said.

However, for a Martial Arts Hall of New Star’s caliber to offer free admission like this, the reward surely wouldn’t be simple.

It was just like gambling, though; where there are winners, there must also be losers.

An investment wasn’t a guaranteed profit.

They must have gone through multiple layers of consideration and careful selection to make this decision.

"Yes, Teacher Liu! I won’t let you down!"

Lin Yi nodded, his gaze firm and resolute.

Now, he no longer had any worries holding him back.

He was registered for the Martial Arts exam.

He had also moved out of Lin Dazhi’s place.

All that was left for him now was to focus single-mindedly on his cultivation and breaking through his limits.

’Break through to the Two-Star Realm before the Martial Arts exam?’

’No, my little goal is the Three-Star Realm...’

Leaving the office, Lin Yi returned to the classroom to pack his things.

Starting tomorrow, he would no longer be coming to school for classes.

This was his homeroom teacher’s suggestion.

While academic classes were important, they were nothing compared to the Martial Arts exam.

Tomorrow, he would go straight to the Martial Arts Hall to train with Yang Yong.

Time waits for no one.

In the two-plus months remaining, the higher his Cultivation Realm, the more advantageous it would be for the Martial Arts exam.

It was just as Liu Song had said.

Although Lin Yi reaching the One-Star Realm as a high school senior was already one in ten thousand, it was still far from enough to be accepted by a Martial Arts University in the New District on an exceptional basis.

After all, the entry threshold for Martial Arts Universities was extremely high.

The number of students who could get into a Martial Arts University each year was incredibly small.

Only those with truly exceptional talent had a chance to get in.

How many families would sell everything they owned just to support their child’s attempt to get into a Martial Arts University?

Because as long as one could enter a Martial Arts University and get into the New District, they could start a new life.

This was also the reason why Lin Dazhi was willing to give up on his own son, Lin Yi, and place all his bets on Lin Yu.

In his eyes, Lin Yi’s Martial Arts talent was far inferior to Lin Yu’s.

He believed that only by relying on Lin Yu could he move to the New District to live in the future.

After leaving the school, Lin Yi first headed back to his new home.

The ten-or-so minute journey took him only five or six minutes, as he jogged the whole way back.

When he opened the door, the house was empty. There was no one in the large living room.

’Is Tang Qinru not home?’

’Then again, who doesn’t have a job during the day? Who can just stay at home all day?’

Lin Yi went back to his bedroom, put down his schoolbag, and changed into a black tracksuit.

He slipped his phone into his pocket and was just about to leave when the front door was opened.

Tang Qinru, who had just returned from outside, looked a little surprised the moment she saw Lin Yi.

"Didn’t you go to school?"

"Sister Qingru, I have to go to the Martial Arts Hall this afternoon. I probably can’t go to the mall with you tonight!"

Lin Yi scratched his head awkwardly.

The moment he saw Tang Qinru, he remembered their arrangement from the morning.

Tang Qinru walked in and changed her shoes.

"Are things for high school seniors this relaxed now? You only have half a day of classes?"

"Not really. To be precise, starting tomorrow, I don’t have to go to school at all until the Martial Arts exam..."

Hearing this, Tang Qinru whipped her head around and shot Lin Yi a look.

Then, she seemed to understand something.

"This is for your final preparations, right? I get it!"

"So, will you be back for dinner tonight?"

"The Martial Arts Hall only provides one meal. I’ll definitely be back to eat tonight!"

"Alright then, I’ll be waiting for you tonight!"

Lin Yi nodded and hurried out the door.

’The Martial Arts Hall should be starting their meal right about now. If I get there early, I can still get a meal.’

Lin Yi couldn’t forget the Demon Beast Meat from the cafeteria.

It was delicious, and the meat was succulent.

Especially since eating it provided considerable benefits to the body.

’Once I enroll in the Martial Arts Hall, I can eat Demon Beast Meat every day...’

Moreover, the benefits from the flesh and blood of different demon beasts were completely different.

Some could strengthen tendons and bones, while others could enhance Qi and Blood.

’If I eat this for one or two months straight, my body is bound to improve significantly. Maybe I’ll even grow taller?’

After leaving the residential complex, Lin Yi didn’t even wait for a bus.

He directly hailed a taxi by the roadside.

As soon as he got in, he said, "Sir, the New Star Martial Arts Hall!"

"You got it!"

The driver smiled and nodded.

He stomped on the gas, and the taxi shot forward as if it were about to take off.

It sped straight toward the New Star Martial Arts Hall.
