Hearing the whispers of the students.
Lin Suo now understood why she had come to cause trouble.
Too young, acted impulsively without thinking things through clearly, no wonder she wasn’t stopped.
But, such matters are indeed all the more troublesome the younger one is.
Too proud, probably felt insulted, and came to vent her frustrations.
Just like college students who dare to act on a verbal dispute with violence.
The younger they are, the more foolhardy, and the more reckless with their lives.
Because in their brief time alive, nothing is more important than their pride; life experiences, social skills, and emotional ties are all insufficient.
It’s hard for them to grasp the concept of thinking twice before acting.
"Rhein is so cool! Drive away that bad woman."
Just as they were at a standoff.
Iris suddenly jumped out, standing on the tabletop, shouting her support for Lin Suo.
Her little suit-style school uniform, paired with white stockings underneath.
Of course, this required one to ignore her little horns and tail.
Rigardaga was even younger.
And couldn’t hide her thoughts.
That rage, almost igniting Lin Suo’s Heart Seal.
"Bitch, damnable Enchanting Demon, was it you who stole my man!"
A purple flame whip, pulled from the void, cracked towards Iris.
"Ah! Teacher, save me."
Lin Suo certainly wasn’t going to let this happen, lightly snapping his fingers, a thick earthen wall rose from the stairs, blocking the Purple Flame Whip.
"Princess, please watch your words and behavior."
"Unhappiness is not a reason to lash out at others, of course, rejecting the Emperor’s arranged marriage was because I was unworthy."
Rigardaga’s expression grew even colder.
"Knowing you were unworthy and still dared to accept Father’s reward!"
A second Purple Flame Whip formed and swiftly lashed out at Iris, the little Enchanting Demon cried out, her cheeks flushed crimson, not resisting at all.
Lin Suo found this overly dramatic scene quite cringeworthy.
Left with no choice, he could only summon vines to wrap around Iris, pulling her behind him for protection while using the earth wall to shield all the students.
But this seemed to infuriate Rigardaga even more.
She was betrothed at birth to an elder’s son from the Silver Star Alliance.
But due to the Innate Aging Curse, she had a lifespan half that of a normal person’s, meaning even if she broke through as a First Rank Wizard, she would only live to one hundred fifty years old.
The inborn Curse intertwined with her Bloodline; if completely removed, it would cost her life.
Thus, at the age of ten, with the appearance of a twenty-year-old, she couldn’t marry a young boy, and both sides chose to cancel.
This should have been quite normal.
But for her, just starting to form a concept of love, it was a huge shock, and she began to change.
The name of Witch began to spread in the Capital then.
Now appearing to be in her thirties, aging rapidly, this was also why the corpulent Emperor said she had a bad reputation.
Perfect for the newly-rising Lin Suo to take over, right!
Just as Lin Suo was lost in thought, Iris leaped onto his back, arms wrapping around his neck, her silky white legs successfully entwined around his waist.
Her soft, pale lips brushed against the corner of Lin Suo’s mouth.
Her eyes, red and moist.
Before he had time to push Iris away.
Suddenly, a purple-red flame serpent burst forth from behind Rigardaga, its hissing maw snapping violently at the two of them.
Lin Suo lightly leapt up into the air.
The ghostly image of a great tree materialized behind him.
An overwhelming array of Four Elements Vines sprouted from his palms, Earth, Fire, Water, Wind; each Basic Element combined with the vines had its unique function.
Earth brown, with rocks crusting the Earth Vine.
Bright red, with burning flames, the Flame Vine.
Intertwined, they quickly entangled the purple-red flame serpent, firmly pinning it to the ground.
After the Chaos Baptism, as soon as he summoned the phantom of the World Tree.
Lin Suo would possess the power to control the Four Elements, although only less than 1% of full control, it was enough to let him unleash a power comparable to Elemental Magic Rings even without one.
The two forces clashed.
Students were already retreating outside, standing far away in the hallway or outside the windows to watch.
"Hurry and get down."
Iris batted her moist, large eyes, clinging firmly to his neck, rubbing her body against him. She wasn’t treating him like a person at all!
"Lovebirds! Flirting right in front of me, as if I don’t exist?!"
Rigardaga finally showed her Witch’s wrath.
The purple-red flames turned completely black.
The pitch black flames engulfed everything in the classroom, all things starting to rapidly decay, fading away...
This isn’t a regular burnout.
"Rotten Black Flame, a divine power just like the Innate Aging Curse."
Iris’s eyes are bewildered. As she explains for Lin Suo, her hands and feet relaxed a lot.
According to her brother Simon, it must be that her heart was moved by seeing an even more evil, even darker power.
Lin Suo took the chance to throw her out, to avoid being entangled like an octopus, affecting his performance.
Slightly hunching over, Lin Suo stepped on air, with a loud sonic boom, he instantly appeared behind Rigardaga, a hand chop, neatly knocking her out.
"To lose one’s reason to anger so easily, that’s really petty."
Trouble came too abruptly.
He was truly unprepared.
Outside the window, Princess of the Ice Plain waved at Lin Suo, her expression a bit awkward.
"You both are princesses, I’ll leave her to you. Take her to the dean’s office."
"Everyone else, come back to class!"
The students were startled. The classroom was reduced to an empty space; were they still supposed to have class?
Just like how Blue Star students wonder if they don’t need to attend class when it pours rain.
They even had to attend class when knives were falling!
Seeing this, Lin Suo put his hands together and gently tapped the ground.
Tiered steps formed in order once again, directly growing out tables, chairs, and benches. Except for the material turning into stone, there was no difference from before.
This is called professionalism!
"Come back, today’s lesson is Starry Sky language."
Soon, teaching proceeded as usual.
The difficulty of the Starry Sky language greatly exceeded the students’ expectations. Additionally, with them discussing the recent events with their classmates, they couldn’t focus properly.
Their minds wandered for a moment, and then they found, what was being talked about?
How come even picking up a pen made it so they couldn’t understand anything?
Maquire slumped over the desk, hands flopping down powerlessly, like a pig’s head on a cutting board, standing on the table with lifeless eyes.
After witnessing the power of a formal wizard.
He realized his own breakthrough was meaningless. His Magic Ring was already formed, following the path of his father, learning Meteorological Witchcraft.
The Duke of Disaster was known for his large-scale destructive power, but having just seen it, he felt so weak.
It was already one thing that Teacher Rhein was a Middle Grade Wizard.
But a mere Second Ring wizard had more destructive power than him... that was too outrageous.
The ground full of decay seemed to mock him with a sneering smile. That Four Elements Vine seemed decent.
Maquire quickly ran to the podium and said loudly.
"Teacher, teach me witchcraft training."
Lin Suo was surprised: "Now?"
"Yes, right now, I can offer compensation."
Lin Suo’s eyes narrowed. Isn’t this the core witchcraft of the Life Transformation School?
[Bloodline Refining Technique]
He had been delaying the integration of the Fourth Magic Ring into his system because he was thinking about how to obtain their core heritage from the Life Transformation School.
Besides the Fourth Ring’s Bloodline Refining Technique.
There was also the Fifth Ring’s Bloodline Evolution Technique.
And the Sixth Ring’s Bloodline Ascension Technique.
He believed that the World Tree System needed this series of Bloodline Witchcraft to fake it till making it real and to complement it with an Elemental Magic Ring to enhance essence.
Because this series of witchcraft is useful for all wizards, even if it’s not used to congeal Magic Rings, just learning it and frequently refreshing oneself with it is highly beneficial.
Therefore, the core witchcraft of the Bloodline Transformation School is extremely valuable; other than knowledge exchange, one must join their school.
It was very normal for Maquire to have this.
After all, his father Zhang Er... "Duke of Disaster!"
"What do you want to learn?"
"Teach me the Four Elements Vine you just used!"
Lin Suo shook his head.
"You can’t learn that, it’s not suitable for you."
"Then... Teacher, do you have any other specialized witchcraft?"
"I do have indeed. Come with me to my place."
Maquire’s face was filled with excitement; indeed, as his father said, everything has its price.
Including the most sacred of knowledge.
Older teacher Rhein is so strong at such a young age; he must have secret witchcraft.
