Chapter 742 - Senior Brother

742 – Senior Brother

“Senior brother.” Lan Xuanyu called out to Lin Mohua.

Lin Mohua said, “Seeing the Ring of Fate on your hand, I knew that you were the successor chosen by Teacher and would inherit the School of Life in the future. But do you really know what kind of meaning this title holds ?”

Lan Xuanyu shook his head. “Although I’ve joined the School of Life, Elder Shu has never told me about this.”

Lin Mohua nodded and said, “Let me tell you then. As the leader of the School of Life, what you have to grasp is the Life Spring, the Federation’s Life Spring, it’s the highest level of the profundity of life. Once you grasp these, you will have an extremely high status in the entire Federation and will automatically become a Sea God Pavilion’s Vice Pavilion Master. You will have the qualifications to communicate with the Eternal Tree and can be said to be standing at the top of the Federation.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned. “Leader ? I can’t! My ability…”

Lin Mohua waved his hand and interrupted him. “This isn’t a matter of whether you can or not, Teacher has chosen you. Teacher’s lifespan is gradually approaching its end after nearly a thousand years. Unless he chooses to continue living in an inhumane way, otherwise, he will leave this world when his life energy is completely depleted. And our School of Life has its rules, we aren’t not allowed to live in an inhumane way. In our opinion, if we stay in this world in an inhumane way, even if we survive, we are no longer human and it goes against our principles of respecting life.”

“From the day Teacher handed over the Ring of Fate to you, you have become his successor. Once he leaves this world, all the responsibility of the School of Life will fall upon you. You will obtain a large amount of resources and will be under immense pressure. Are you ready?”

Lan Xuanyu frowned. He could already sense the hostility in Lin Mohua’s tone.

Lan Xuanyu raised his hand and looked at the Ring of Fate in his hand. “Senior brother, to be honest, I wasn’t prepared and I don’t even know why Elder Shu chose me as his successor.”

Lin Mohua said in a low voice, “Then hand over the Ring of Fate. With your current situation, it isn’t enough to convince the entire School of Life. Once Teacher is gone, everything you obtain will become pressure. The School of Life is far more important and stronger than you think, how can a child like you manage it?”

Lan Xuanyu’s gaze gradually turned cold as he said in a deep voice, “Senior brother, did you call me out today for the sake of the Ring of Fate?”

Lin Mohua said, “Yes and no. With your current ability, you’re not qualified to be in charge of the School of Life. If you really take over, the School of Life will be in chaos. As the vice president, I can’t watch that happen.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “If I hand over the Ring of Fate, will Elder Shu hand over the position of successor to you?”

Lin Mohua replied indifferently, “This is no longer important. Elder Shu is old, he should be living a carefree life. I am also a member of Shrek Academy’s Sea God’s Pavilion and the vice leader of the Life School. If the Ring of Fate is in my hands, at least there won’t be too many different voices within the school. If you really want to do well for the School of Life, you shouldn’t cause internal conflict.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at him intently as the bloodline vortex in his chest began to rotate faster. A faint rainbow glow appeared as pieces of rainbow scales appeared on his skin.

Lin Mohua’s expression suddenly changed. “Do you want to fight with me? I’ve heard of you before. You’re a very smart child, that’s why you became the class leader of the fourth years. A smart child shouldn’t do something stupid.”

Lan Xuanyu replied indifferently, “I admit that what you said just now was right. How am I qualified to inherit the School of Life ? I don’t think I have the qualifications and can’t be the helmsman, but this Ring of Fate was given to me by Elder Shhu. You have two ways to get it—first, have Elder Shu take it back; second, take it from my corpse. Since Elder Shu gave it to me, I will use my life to protect it.

“Also, I have to remind you that I am representing Shrek Academy this time. Everything you do to me will never be covered up.”

The bloodline aura on Lan Xuanyu’s body became denser.

Lin Mohua placed his hands behind his back and smiled. “So what if I can’t cover it up? This isn’t Shrek Academy, but the Federation’s Central Academy. A student went missing because he ran around, or we found his corpse in the mouth of a soul beast… Do you think that I can’t cover up everything in my territory? Little junior brother, I don’t want to do that. You’re still young and have a bright future ahead of you. If you grow strong enough in the future, you might be able to inherit the School of Life. A wise man submits to circumstances. A man must know when to yield and when to stand. Do you understand what I mean?”

Lan Xuanyu laughed as well. “I understand. Senior brother, I’m very afraid of death, and I don’t want to die either. I’m still so young. But in life, there are things that cannot be done. This Ring of Fate was given to me by Elder Shu. If I can’t protect it, my heart will no longer be firm. Furthermore, I don’t think you can kill me for sure. I believe that Sen Luo Planet isn’t under your control.”

Lin Mohua laughed. “I don’t know where your confidence comes from. Since that’s the case, give it a try.”

“Di Tian, wake up! Di Tian, wake up!” Lan Xuanyu screamed in his Spiritual Sea. His heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Who wanted to die? In any case, Lan Xuanyu didn’t.

When he realized that something was wrong, he quickly made a judgment on what was happening.

Firstly, it was Lin Mohua’s strength. There was no doubt that he was a Limit Douluo or even a God-rank powerhouse. Lan Xuanyu obviously hoped that it wouldn’t be like that. Then, what could Lan Xuanyu rely on?

Just based on strength alone, he knew that he was no match for Lin Mohua no matter what. If they really fought, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long. However, he had his own backing. Firstly, there was the Beast God Di Tian sleeping in his Spiritual Sea, an existence at the demigod level.

Di Tian had said before that when he would encounter danger, he would naturally make a move. And once Di Tian made a move, he would at least give him a chance to escape.

This Dean Lin Mohua was definitely a very powerful figure on Sen Luo Planet, but he definitely wouldn’t be able to cover the whole sky by himself. Furthermore, there were two god-rank soul beasts here and so many teachers and students. As long as the news got out and Lin Mohua made a move on him, he would have to face the pressure from the entire Shrek Academy.

There was also Teacher Xiao Qi. Although he wasn’t sure of Teacher Xiao’s strength, Teacher Xiao, who graduated from the Inner Court, was at least a Title Douluo. As long as he could inform Teacher Xiao, Teacher Xiao would be able to help him resist or inform the academy.

At that time, Lin Mohua would have to be cautious. As for how to deal with the aftermath, that wasn’t something he had to consider.

Hand over the Ring of Fate? That would never do. Not to mention the large amount of resources and the Sky Wing mechas. Even without these, he would not hand it over so easily! He knew that even if he handed over the Ring of Fate, Lin Mohua might not let him off.

Shrek Academy would never let such a big thing go so easily. Hence, in his judgment, Lin Mohua would do something to him no matter what. He said that he would let him go, but it was mostly to destroy his fighting spirit or other motives.

Hence, he couldn’t take the risk. Since the probability of dying by handing over the Ring of Fate was very high, he might as well rely on the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King in his body to fight.
