The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 412 The influence of Little Instructor Lin

On the same day, the news of Lin Xun repairing the Sword of Apocalypse spread like wildfire.

“Isn’t that...too fierce?”

“How is that fierce? Little Instructor Lin has been pushed into the pit!”

“Deputy Head Chu is too ruthless. He clearly wants to get revenge for Chu Haidong.”

“Shhh, lower your voice!”

The incident was being discussed everywhere in the Rune Department—the school, the dormitory and every corner.

Everyone felt indignant for Lin Xun, but there was nothing they could do. Chu Shanhe’s move was an open scheme. No one could say that Chu Shanhe was wrong even if they knew he was deliberately targeting Lin Xun.

Very quickly, the news spread from the Rune Department to the Dao Martial Department, True Martial Department, Hidden Dragon Department, and the Godly Stratagems Department.

The incident received much attention because Lin Xun was well known in the Forbidden City.

Additionally, the Sword of Apocalypse had an earthshaking background as it was a treasure belonging to the empress.

Thirdly, the incident concerned the feud between Lin Xun and the Chu Family. Everyone knew that Chu Haidong had become a laughingstock after Lin Xun suppressed him, and the Chu Family’s reputation had been impacted as a result. How would the fact that Chu Shanhe, the deputy head of the Rune Department, planned to use the repairing of the Sword of Apocalypse to attack Lin Xun not attract attention?

“The Sword of Apocalypse is a legendary rune armament. Lin Xun is…screwed.”

“To be honest, I doubt Lin Xun can escape the calamity. From what I know, even experienced rune grandmasters from the Rune Master Association and Divine Workshop have failed to repair the Sword of Apocalypse. Lin Xun has just become a rune grandmaster. Even if he is amazing, how can he do what the other rune grandmasters can’t?”

“Yes, if Lin Xun fails, he would destroy the sword, ruin his reputation, and face terrifying calamity from the imperial family!”

“Strange, anyone can see that this is a pit. Why did Lin Xun insist on jumping in? Is he not afraid of death?”

“Let’s just wait. We will know in seven days.”

……

The incident became the most discussed topic in Qinglu Academy, and most people weren’t optimistic about Lin Xun’s situation.

Everyone couldn’t help but lament at Chu Shanhe’s scheme. The older you are, the spicier you are. He pushed Lin Xun into a hopeless pit in one move. His means are too terrifying.

……

Pu!

Shi Yu choked on his drink when he learned about the incident. He violently coughed, and his face was flushed red.

“What is that guy thinking?” murmured Shi Yu after a while.

……

“Why didn’t I realize that Lin Xun is so arrogant? But I like him more this way!” Ning Meng exclaimed.

……

“The Sword of Apocalypse...He has just become a rune grandmaster yet he dares to repair a rune armament? Th…” Chi Cangmei felt a headache coming on. Lin Xun always does something unexpected. Does he not have any fear?

……

On Mind Cleansing Peak, Lin Xuefeng was filled with worry. “What do you guys think?”

“Let’s just wait for news,” Xiaoke said indifferently.

“Yes, keep working.” Spirit Vulture’s response was even calmer, and he just instructed Lin Xuefeng to continue to deal with the matters on Mind Cleansing Peak.

Lin Xuefeng smiled wryly. Do they not care about him?

Only Lin Zhong reassured Lin Xuefeng with a smile, “Don’t worry, we all know that Young Master won’t do anything stupid.”

……

In the Forbidden City, the news about Lin Xun agreeing to repair the Sword of Apocalypse was broadcasted through the rune transmission screen.

The countless cultivators around the light screen were dumbfounded by the news, unable to believe what they heard.

Lin Xun had only joined Qinglu Academy one month ago, but he caused such a huge disturbance again!

However, it likely won’t bode well for him this time!

……

West Creek Lin Clan.

When Lin Tianlong, Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu heard the news, they were dumbstruck for a moment. They had thought that Lin Xun would suffer retaliation from the Zuo and Qin Clans after he entered Qinglu Academy, but who would have thought that the Chu Family would jump out first before the two high clans took action?

“He has reaped what he has sown! Look at how many people that little bastard has offended after entering the Forbidden City—the Chi Family, the Song Family, the Hua Family and the Chu Family…they are all top forces!” Lin Tianlong smiled coldly.

“What goes around comes around. Lin Xun is doomed. How can he repair the Sword of Apocalypse?”

Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu nodded in agreement, looking overjoyed.

Their three clans had been badly suppressed in recent days, and they had to seek help from the Zuo and Qin Families.

Their spirits lifted, and they felt their anger vented after hearing such good news.

……

In short, since Lin Xun entered the Forbidden City, he had violently beaten up the descendants of the Song and Hua Families, defeated Hua Wuyou, and invoked the phenomenon cries of the nine dragons during the rune grandmaster verification assessment. News about him erupted in the Forbidden City every now and then. It caused a sensation every time, and as a result, he had become the most discussed figure in the city.

Many people again marveled at Lin Xun’s fearlessness when they learned that he wanted to repair the Sword of Apocalypse. Is there anything that Lin Xun doesn’t have the guts to do?

……

While the outside world was spiritedly discussing the news, the fifth floor of the Refinement Tower was unaffected, like it was isolated from the world.

“Pass me the seventh golden blossoming rune ink.”

“Little Instructor Lin, what’s the reason for using that type of rune ink here?”

“To coordinate with the seventh golden array and for it to resonate with the other seventy-two rune arrays. This method can guarantee that the third crack remains undamaged during repair. Be careful, watch the other side. Don’t touch the buds of the demonic eye flower.”

“Little Instructor Lin, does the demonic eye flower also need to be smelted?”

“No, the demonic eye flower plays a simple role, but it’s very important. Its buds are filled with mysterious underworld yin qi, which can be absorbed into the sword body and produce a short-term freezing effect. It can stop the seventh crack from being corroded.”

“I understand. By the way, Little Instructor Lin, what brush technique are you using? It seems that you are inscribing some kind of secret rune pattern?”

“Oh, don’t you know? This brush technique is called the Cloudy Sky Line. It is most suitable for inscribing rune arrays with attributes such as water, clouds and fog. It is to target the ninth crack.”

The conversation between Lin Xun and the four rune grandmasters echoed throughout the hall.

However, the scene seemed a little weird.

Lin Xun was sitting cross-legged with the Sword of Apocalypse, and dozens of rune inks in special cups and saucers were on the desk in front of him.

He held a slender, pale golden rune brush in his right hand and made strokes along the sword.

The four rune grandmasters were sitting upright beside Lin Xun, carefully watching his movements and asking questions.

When Lin Xun answered them, their faces lit up with enlightenment, joy, and surprise.

They resembled a group of students attending a lecture. It was an indescribably strange scene.

They were four senior rune grandmasters who had been watching over the fifth floor of the Refinement Tower for years. They had a high status and were widely respected.

However, they seemed like students of Lin Xun. If other instructors and students in the Rune Department saw them now, their jaws would drop.

Who could imagine a teenager who had just been certified as a rune grandmaster could lecture four senior rune grandmasters

In truth, Lin Xun didn’t do that on purpose.

When he was preparing to repair the Sword of Apocalypse, the senior rune grandmasters opposed and questioned his actions. They even looked at him with pity and sympathy.

However, the situation gradually changed when Lin Xun started the repairing process.

As the saying went, a real expert can identify a real expert. They were all experienced rune grandmasters. From one glance, they could tell that Lin Xun’s rune skills were unfathomable and unbelievable!

His ability shook them as they knew very little about some of his techniques.

But they were even more shocked when Lin Xun cleared their puzzlement. They subconsciously felt defeated.

How would Chu Shanhe feel if he saw the scene?

……

Time flew, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Chu Shanhe woke up early in the morning, intentionally dressed neatly, combed his hair meticulously, and then left the residence.

When he arrived in front of the Refinement Tower, it was already crowded with figures.

Most of them were instructors and students from the Rune Department, but there were also people from other departments of Qinglu Academy. It was a grand scene.

This was because everyone knew that today was the day that Lin Xun had promised the Sword of Apocalypse would be repaired!

The crowd grew restless as Chu Shanhe arrived. The main character had arrived.

Chu Shanhe ignored them, summoned a servant to lead the way, and strode up the fifth floor of the Refinement Tower.

The rest of the people hurriedly followed him.

What did Lin Xun do in the past seven days? Can he repair the Sword of Apocalypse? Everyone was full of anticipation.
