"Teacher, can't we really make this public? This fifty thousand points is unprecedented!" The students were unwilling, pleading together.
The teacher pointed at the excited crowd and shouted, "You lot, daring to question the academy's decision. This points reward was evaluated by a committee organized by the deans of both institutes. Do you intend to question the committee's decision?"
"No...we don't dare..." The students quickly shook their heads in denial, what a joke, a committee organized by the dean represents authority, who dares to question it, even the proud Li Wenfeng could only frown without daring to speak out against it.
Seeing the students settle down, the teacher softened his tone and said, "Though I can't reveal the specific process of the mission, I can tell you that after review by the committee, it was unanimously deemed that this mission reached a purple level. Students, you should know what a purple-level mission implies!"
"Purple level, it's actually purple level!"
"Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, purple is the highest-level task..." The members of the Frostwind Team were dumbfounded; they wouldn't dare touch such a difficult level, that's absolutely a suicidal mission.
But Lin Tian accomplished it. The way they looked at Lin Tian was filled with nothing but awe, no longer as arrogant as before.
"Brother Lin Tian, congratulations on completing the purple-level mission. You've become the academy's first." Li Wenfeng came over, smiling, while cleverly positioning himself to stand just between Lin Tian and Yuwen Luofei.
Although he did it very discreetly, Lin Tian still noticed his intention. However, Lin Tian merely smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Li is joking, I'd rather this world be peaceful and have no more purple-level missions, wouldn't that be better?"
"World peace is, of course, the ultimate wish of us Guardians, but as long as the Blood Clan exists for a day, I don't think the world will be peaceful." Li Wenfeng responded somewhat sharply.
Still, Lin Tian smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Li puts all the blame on the Blood Clan, isn't that a bit biased? Haven't you heard a saying? The human heart is scarier than ghost gods, an evil heart is more dangerous than the Blood Clan, don't you think?"
"The Blood Clan feeds on human blood, they are the nemesis of humanity, and naturally, one must eternally eliminate a nemesis. Brother Lin Tian speaks for the Blood Clan, do you have friends among them?" Li Wenfeng said undauntedly, deliberately.
Lin Tian was unmoved and said calmly, "The Blood Clan kills not more than a hundred, but a single human atomic bomb could wipe out a city completely. So, humanity's worst enemy is itself. For instance, Mr. Li, with your extraordinary talents, if you were to slaughter humans, you'd be much more devastating than a vampire."
"What are you saying, how could our captain slaughter..." Members of the Frostwind Team were dissatisfied with Lin Tian's claim.
But Li Wenfeng raised a hand to stop his members, smiled and said, "Hey, don't get excited, Brother Lin Tian was only speaking metaphorically."
Saying this, he turned to Lin Tian and said, "Brother Lin Tian, there's a celebration banquet tonight, and you, cousin, and Miss Zhu Li are invited to attend, as a way for me to celebrate you."
"Of course, with Mr. Li's invitation, we will definitely attend." Lin Tian smiled.
Li Wenfeng nodded and said, "Very well then, I shall take leave for now, take your time looking."
He left, and so did the members of the Frostwind Team, but they came arrogantly and left with their heads bowed. Facing the stark gap in the bulletin board, their usual arrogance naturally had no face to persist.
"Miss, what do you think of Li Wenfeng?" Lin Tian asked, watching them leave with a faint smile.
"Very scheming, definitely better than Li Zhengyang, even better than the blue that surpasses the blue." Xiao Manxue assessed objectively.
"Li Zhengyang is all about open aggression, backed by the entire Li family, but he has a fatal weakness—strong in words but weak in capability. When faced with powerful Ancient Martial Artists, he appears hollow, because no matter how strong your family is, an Ancient Martial Artist can still take your life within ten steps."
"Li Wenfeng is different; not only does he have the support of the entire Li Family, but he himself is also not weak, strong both inside and out. In upper circles, it's said that Ou Qinglan's ability and status are comparable to the old generation, but I dare say Li Wenfeng will surpass the old generation. In contrast, the Yun Family's Yun Xiaotian is far too lacking, the Yun Family's future seems bleak."
"What is this Yun Family you're talking about?" Zhu Li asked curiously.
"Nothing, let's go, nothing worth watching here." Lin Tian said casually.
There was no need to squeeze anymore as the three left; wherever Lin Tian walked, people would automatically make way for him, even if they didn't know his record, completing a purple-level task was a symbol of strength itself.
"By the way, Miss, is tonight's banquet personally hosted by Li Wenfeng or organized by the academy?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
Xiao Manxue had graduated long ago, so she wasn't sure and shook her head, Zhu Li answered instead: "It's hosted by Li Wenfeng personally. After every important task, he invites some people to attend his banquet. As far as I know, those invited are usually people holding points, and Li Wenfeng's aim is to acquire these points."
"Oh, it seems this banquet isn't just eating and chatting but also a trading market." Lin Tian said, making an understatement.
"Yes, not only Li Wenfeng wants to acquire points, many others aim for the same. They enjoy Li Wenfeng hosting such gatherings. At the banquet, everyone uses their skills, and those with more bargaining chips can acquire more points. So..." Zhu Li explained.
"So, I will become the target they are chasing?" Lin Tian continued her sentence, smiling.
Zhu Li confirmed, "Yes, you, senior sister, and even I, they will try every means to offer enough chips to trade the points from us."
"Miss, is there any advanced martial skill you fancy? I'll give my points to you to avoid being pestered by these people." Lin Tian generously offered, looking at the Miss.
Xiao Manxue was taken aback for a moment but quickly shook her head, "No need, keep it for yourself, perhaps the academy has something you desire, you can use your points to exchange."
Zhu Li looked at Xiao Manxue with envy; those fifty thousand points could be exchanged for any high-ranking martial technique or cultivation technique, something many dream of.
"Alright then, keep it with me, whenever you want it, you can find me. I honestly don't have anything specific I want to exchange for." Lin Tian said nonchalantly.
"Whenever you want it, you can find me," these words sounded ambiguous, even Zhu Li gave Xiao Manxue an ambiguous smile, making Xiao Manxue's face blush, and she glared at Lin Tian fiercely.
After returning to his dorm, Zhu Li said, "Senior sister, didn't you fancy an ancient sword collected by the academy? Why..."
