Lin Xiao had no choice but to harbor such malice and hatred towards Chen Beiyuan, not to mention the numerous times he had been suppressed and humiliated.
Take this "dragon transformation" opportunity for example.
On the surface, he successfully transformed into a dragon, soaring into the sky, free from all constraints.
But behind the scenes, he also paid a huge price!
Despite the protection of the [Wordless Medical Scripture], his cultivation was ultimately too weak. After soaking in the depths of the [Poison Dragon's Deep Pool] for three consecutive days, his body and spirit had long been corrupted by the dragon's poison, leaving him with a severe aftereffect.
His fertility is ruined!
Although that thing can still be used, it has lost its vitality.
This means that he was destined to have no descendants.
The person was practically withered.
This incident was undoubtedly a huge psychological blow to Lin Xiao.
At this moment, his mind has gradually become twisted.
However, the protagonist is a highly shrewd and patient doctor.
Lin Xiao quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Leave the secret realm first and tell your godfather the good news."
...
Principal's Office.
Jiang Baiyi paused in her work of flipping through the documents, as if she had noticed something, and looked up.
Suddenly, Chen Beiyuan appeared out of thin air on the office sofa, in the exact same spot as before he used the "token".
At the same time, the rusty Blood Dragon Token in his hand quickly decayed, turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing.
Chen Beiyuan was not surprised by this.
With the collapse of the "secret realm," the "key" in his hand naturally lost its value.
At this moment, Chen Beiyuan could clearly sense that Jiang Baiyi's gaze towards him had suddenly become more surprised and uncertain.
This eighth-rank Battle Emperor had clearly noticed the abnormal changes in his physique.
After all, his physique at this moment was comparable to that of a sixth-grade divine weapon. Most sixth-grade battle kings, and even some seventh-grade battle emperors, did not have such a powerful physical body.
This is a world of difference compared to the situation before entering the secret realm.
As one of the world's top experts, Jiang Baiyi would have to be blind to not notice.
Previously, those royal children who bathed in dragon blood did not experience such exaggerated enhancement effects!
"Bei Yuan, it seems you've had quite a haul this time!"
"It's all thanks to Principal Jiang that Bei Yuan received a few insignificant benefits."
Faced with Jiang Baiyi's meaningful words, Chen Beiyuan responded calmly.
Now, he has hidden the dragon egg in the system space, and no matter how strong Jiang Baiyi is, he will not be able to detect the existence of the system.
Without the dragon egg as the "biggest problem," his suddenly enhanced physique shouldn't lead to anything serious.
Jiang Baiyi's suspicion was that he had obtained some hidden benefits from the secret realm.
But now that the secret realm has collapsed, it's impossible for Jiang Baiyi to get any verification.
Besides, would Jiang Baiyi really risk turning against the Chen family of Donghua just for some uncertain "hidden benefit" and forcibly take action against him?
Do you really think he's one of those "soft persimmons" with no background who can be easily manipulated?
The Chen family of Donghua, the empire's greatest weapon, can be used not only against external forces but also against internal ones!
Therefore, Chen Beiyuan was full of confidence at this moment.
Jiang Baiyi naturally saw through Chen Beiyuan's confidence, realizing that he had no idea what had happened inside the secret realm.
Since that's the case, we might as well do a favor.
After all, given Chen Beiyuan's current growth rate, he will definitely be able to keep pace with him and become a top expert within a hundred years.
"Haha, Beiyuan, you're just like your father, always speaking so succinctly. In the future, when you have free time, come visit Donghua Academy more often. You're also a part of Donghua Academy, the academy is your home, it's good to come home often."
"I know that you had some unpleasantness with the academy during the previous inter-academy competition. So, I'll take the initiative to resolve all the unpleasantness from before."
"Alright, then it's up to Principal Jiang."
Chen Beiyuan had a beaming smile on his face.
At this moment, he naturally guessed what Jiang Baiyi was going to do to show his goodwill.
...
Outside the medical facility.
Accompanied by a tremor in the void,
Lin Xiao's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the corner.
Bang!
The "token" he was holding began to crack little by little, and then shattered into several pieces of scrap metal.
This "Poison Dragon Token" is only a one-time key to enter the secret realm, and can only be used once.
Jiang Baiyi wasn't crazy enough to hand over the real "key to the secret realm" to an outsider.
The value contained in a "large secret realm" is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
What Qiong Baicang called "gratitude" was actually only worth one chance to enter the secret realm.
Lin Xiao stared silently at the fragment of the token in his hand, clenching it tightly, letting the metal shard pierce his palm.
Deep down, I also gained a greater understanding of the strength and power of those top forces.
What you strive for with all your might is utterly insignificant in the eyes of those high and mighty figures.
"Sooner or later, I will eradicate you 'cancer'..."
Lin Xiao suppressed the restlessness and longing in his heart, stepped out of the corner, and walked towards the medical institute, wanting to tell him the good news of his successful dragon transformation.
However, when he arrived outside the familiar medical facility, he was shocked by what he saw and stood frozen in place...
Outside the hospital, a large number of university officials, law enforcement officers, and Donghua University students had gathered, creating quite a scene.
Meanwhile, his godfather, Qiong Baicang, was forcibly dragged from his hospital bed by several investigators who had previously been guarding him. He was shackled and chained, and like an old dog, pulled out of the ward and taken outside for public trial...
"Qiong Baicang, based on the investigation team's investigation over several days, it has been confirmed that you embezzled and withheld student resources."
"Qiong Baicang, the principal has granted special approval to officially remove you from your high-ranking position. From this day forward, you are no longer a member of Donghua Academy. You will now face a fair and just trial under the laws of the Empire..."
"Fellow students, Qiong Baicang has confessed to his crimes. He will now be detained and transferred to the court for further processing..."
Vice Principal Liu addressed the Donghua students in front of him with righteous indignation.
At that moment, he seemed to be the embodiment of justice.
Qiong Baicang, disheveled and filthy, looked like a villain about to be judged.
As Jiang Baiyi said, some things can only be used once.
Instead of protecting yourself, you're giving your godson a vague chance to "transform into a dragon."
So, you'll have to shoulder some of the burdens yourself.
After all, we have to give an explanation to all the students of Donghua University.
We had no choice but to handle this as a formality.
Perfect, it can also be used to do someone a favor.
...
(By doing a favor, he managed to steal the godfather of the chosen one; this is the power of authority.)
