Lin Ye had prepared his equipment and was planning to enter the Secret Realm to test its power.
Just then, his phone rang. Lin Ye picked it up and saw that it was a message from Hook.
This surprised Lin Ye because, to be honest, he thought their connection would end here.
It wasn't that Lin Ye was heartless; it was just that he and Hook were simply working together to explore the Secret Realm.
Such temporary teams were common among Professionals. Many people meet by chance and then move on.
Besides, Lin Ye didn't think he needed a fixed team to explore the Secret Realm.
Firstly, he was used to a lone wolf lifestyle;
Secondly, Hook and the others couldn't keep up with Lin Ye's progress!
That's right!
Hook was only Level 3, and Zhao Xue Ming and Li Feng were only Level 2.
Their talent was not outstanding, and the level gap had widened further, so naturally, they couldn't keep up with Lin Ye's pace.
No matter how strong Lin Ye's Healing Technique was, it depended on whether his teammates gave him the chance to heal.
As the saying goes, an untimely Healing Technique can only warm a corpse.
This statement is quite true...
If a teammate is so bad that they are killed in one hit by a monster, the Healer can only make their corpse warm.
So, it's clear Hook didn't come looking for Lin Ye to ask him to explore the Secret Realm with him.
Curiously, Lin Ye opened his phone.
Hook: "Boss, amazing! Principal Lu says he wants to meet you!"
This made Lin Ye raise his eyebrows.
It seemed that his decision to withdraw from school had spread; otherwise, why would Principal Lu from the Experimental Middle School come looking for him?
It was nothing more than wanting to propose conditions to transfer Lin Ye to the Experimental Middle School.
And Lin Ye's withdrawal did have the intention of attracting attention from various principals.
He just didn't expect Principal Lu of the Experimental Middle School to be so quick.
"When and where?" Lin Ye replied efficiently.
"You decide, Principal Lu said anytime, anywhere is fine. He's at the Professional Plaza now!" Hook quickly replied to Lin Ye.
"Send me the location, I'll go find him!" Lin Ye said.
Soon, Hook sent the details over.
Lin Ye glanced at it and found it wasn't far from his current location, so he replied, "I'll be there soon."
Then he put away his Magic Staff and went to meet with Principal Lu first.
...
"Principal Lu, he said he's coming over now!" Hook respectfully said to Lu Yunsheng.
"Good, thank you!" Lu Yunsheng nodded slightly.
After hearing about Lin Ye's successful withdrawal, Lu Yunsheng contacted Hook at the fastest speed to get in touch with Lin Ye.
Because Lu Yunsheng was aware that all the principals of the numerous schools in Shan City had their eyes on Lin Ye, hoping to recruit him to their institutions.
So he had to act fast!
Luckily, those newbies who explored the Secret Realm with Lin Ye yesterday were all students of the Experimental Middle School.
Thus, he effortlessly used Hu Ke as a contact to reach Lin Ye.
"Principal Lu, since he's dropped out, I suppose he's likely not going the college entrance route, is he?"
A girl in a red Magic Robe sitting beside him spoke up.
"I'm sure Lin Ye is just dissatisfied with Qiu Dafu, which is why he dropped out, not because he doesn't want to take the college entrance exam!" Lu Yunsheng said confidently.
"Could it be... he wants to participate in the Champion Battlefield?" the girl in the red robe, Ke Jue, said.
"How is that possible? What would a Healer do in a place like that? Even if he went, it would be challenging for him to secure a place! Besides, even if we go with the worst-case scenario, participating in the battlefield doesn't affect taking the college entrance exam..." Lu Yunsheng shook his head, denying Ke Jue's assumption.
After a slight pause, Lu Yunsheng said, "Ke Jue, be as amiable as you can later! A competent Healer is hard to come by! When you have him with you in the Secret Realm, you'll be quite safe. Your task is to increase your Level as much as possible before going to the battlefield!"
Hearing this, Ke Jue nodded seriously!
The Champion Battlefield's significance is far greater than the college entrance exam.
As for Hook and the others beside them, listening to the conversation between Lu Yunsheng and Ke Jue, they couldn't help but feel envious.
Because, with their talent, they couldn't even get close to the Champion Battlefield!
Only true geniuses are qualified to participate in the Champion Battlefield!
While people like them can only squeeze through the narrow path of the college entrance exam, one could say that just from these two choices, students of different levels have already set the tone for the direction of their future lives.
It was clear that Lu Yunsheng's purpose in trying to have Lin Ye transfer was to have Lin Ye act as Ke Jue's sparring partner...
Lu Yunsheng wanted to use all resources and means to nurture a contender who could win at the Champion Battlefield!
That would be Ke Jue.
Just then, Hook saw a familiar figure and immediately beamed, waving wildly.
"Boss, over here! We're over here!"
"Coming!" Lu Yunsheng's eyes lit up.
As for Ke Jue, she also looked in that direction and was suddenly stunned.
Quickly, Lin Ye walked up to them.
"Boss, this is Principal Lu!" Hook immediately introduced Lin Ye.
Lin Ye nodded and calmly said, "Hello, Principal Lu!"
And when Lin Ye's gaze fell on Ke Jue beside Lu Yunsheng, he was a bit surprised.
"Hello, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Lin Ye smiled and said.
Ke Jue blinked, her expression a bit awkward...
She didn't expect that the guy who insisted on buying the 'Rage Wave Staff' at the stall earlier was actually the famous Lin Ye!
Now she understood why Lin Ye insisted on buying the 'Rage Wave Staff'.
According to Hook, Lin Ye's spellcasting speed was very fast, to the point of easily casting a Healing Technique.
So, for a beginner, the Rage Wave Staff, which was like chicken ribs, became a top-grade Magic Staff in Lin Ye's hands.
However...
Lin Ye, a Healer, not focusing on increasing Healing Strength equipment but acting like a Mage, was opting for equipment that boosts Spell Strength—wasn't that going in the wrong direction?
Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
Ke Jue was puzzled, but she didn't say anything...
"Ke Jue, you know each other, huh? Why didn't you say anything earlier!" Lu Yunsheng exclaimed with surprise.
Earlier, Ke Jue didn't seem as though she knew Lin Ye!
"Not really acquainted, just met once." Lin Ye responded.
"Met once?"
Lu Yunsheng was a bit puzzled by this.
But he didn't dwell on the matter and directly said, "You probably already know why I'm here, right? I won't beat around the bush. I can offer you a scholarship of five million if you transfer to the Experimental Middle School!"
He believed this offer was sincere enough!
However...
"I won't transfer!"
Lin Ye calmly refused.
He wasn't short of money...
And the truly valuable things couldn't be bought with money.
Moreover, from the start, he had another goal.
He wanted to head to the Champion Battlefield he had missed in his past life!
