Global Superpower: Getting Stronger through Reading

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lin Bai took out the Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp from his bag, everyone in the square, regardless of whether they were ordinary students, elite students, or even instructors, was silent.

After all, that was the Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp!

Those who had previously made some malicious jokes about Lin Bai also tactfully shut their mouths at this moment.

Cage looked at the Spirit Crystal in Lin Bai’s hand and was in a daze.

He simply could not believe that the crystal in Lin Bai’s hand was real.

After all, the Master of the Swamp was a high-leveled magical creature!

Upon seeing Cage’s surprised expression, Lin Bai secretly chuckled and said, “Professor Cage, I should be qualified to participate in the Elementary Test, right?”

Cage was still in a daze and didn’t answer immediately.

However, someone in the square raised an objection and questioned sharply, “How can it be so easy to obtain the Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp? I think you ran around the Death Swamp and ran into some good luck. You must have taken advantage of the situation then!”

When these words were spoken, many students who had been shocked also echoed after this person.

“That’s right. The Master of the Swamp can’t even be underestimated by real Hunters. How can a mere Lin Bai obtain its Spirit Crystal?”

“He must have cheated!”

“…”

There was a flurry of discussion below the platform. They absolutely did not believe that Lin Bai could produce the Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp.

To be honest, Cage also did not dare to believe that Lin Bai had such strength.

It seemed that Lin Bai had obtained the Spirit Crystal purely by luck.

Doubts flooded towards Lin Bai. Meanwhile, Lin Bai looked at the clamoring crowd in the square as if he was looking at clowns jumping up and down.

“I risked my life to get this Spirit Crystal. Do you know that I almost lost my life in the hands of the fox bears?!” Lin Bai secretly retorted. He naturally felt rather unhappy.

At this moment, Lin Bai turned to look at someone who was exceptionally eye-catching.

That person seemed to be riding on someone else’s shoulder. Thus, he was a lot taller than the crowd, making him extremely eye-catching. His mouth constantly moved, probably cursing as he looked at Lin Bai with contempt.

What made Lin Bai even angrier was that he pointed his middle finger at Lin Bai.

At that moment, Lin Bai wanted nothing more than to slap him.

It was not that he did not know this person. His name was Long Mu, an arrogant and domineering person in the college. He went around forming factions and gathering underlings. Meanwhile, he was constantly at ease as the Eldest Brother of the factions. Thus, no one in the school could do anything to him.

The teachers in the college were not blind either. However, even if they saw Long Mu’s tricks, they could only turn a blind eye to them.

After all, Long Mu’s father was the Deputy City Lord of Orlando City!

Long Mu usually idled about. Although there were law-enforcement officers from the World Government to keep an eye on him when he was choosing schools, it was hard for Long Mu’s father to give his son any special privileges. Thus, he could only allow him to enter the worst Sorcha College…

However, after entering Sorcha College, there was nothing that could stop him.

Thus, everyone distanced themselves from Long Mu. They were furious, but did not dare to voice their anger.

Most importantly, this prodigal had actually awakened the Swordsman Class!

The Swordsman Class was just an ordinary A-Grade Class.

However, the problem was that this was Sorcha College!

In other academies, A-Grade powerhouses were everywhere. How could a mere Swordsman have the right to speak?

However, in Sorcha College, an A-Grade was already very powerful!

Originally, Long Mu was completely qualified to participate in the Hunter Elementary Test. However… he felt that it was too tiring.

Lin Bai rolled his eyes at the arrogant Long Mu and said, “Long Mu, if you doubt the origins of my Spirit Crystal, why don’t you come and spar with me?”

When Long Mu heard what Lin Bai said, for a moment, he thought he had misheard him.

Spar with him?!

Was there something wrong with Lin Bai’s head?

After all, the Swordsman was an A-Grade Class!

But what about the Reader?

Was it a D-Grade Class… or an E-Grade Class?

It was not important. After all, there was no need to differentiate between trash.

Seeing that Long Mu showed no reaction, Lin Bai continued, “Let’s make a bet.”

Lin Bai was familiar with Long Mu and knew that Long Mu usually had many bad habits. Gambling was one of them.

As expected, Long Mu was immediately interested when he heard about the bet. He asked, “How do you plan to bet?”

Lin Bai smiled and said, “Fight me one on one. If I win, I’ll give you the Spirit Crystal. You should know how much the Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp can be sold on the market, right?”

When Long Mu heard about the Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

He would be able to make big money if he sold the Spirit Crystal of a high-leveled magical creature on the market.

“Alright, I accept this bet.” Long Mu responded readily.

“I haven’t mentioned what will happen if I win.” Lin Bai was rather speechless at Long Mu’s impatient nature.

Long Mu pursed his lips. Did this guy really think that he could win?

Many people in the plaza snickered as well.

“Lin Bai’s brain must have been damaged by the Master of the Swamp.”

“No, no, that’s not right. He only picked up the Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp. He might not have fought with that monster at all!”

When Lin Bai heard this mockery, he gritted his teeth hatefully.

After all, when he killed the Master of the Swamp, all of them were still obediently attending lessons in the classroom!

“If I win, I will have unrestricted access to Orlando’s libraries for a day,” said Lin Bai.

When Long Mu heard Lin Bai’s bet, he also wanted to laugh.

As the son of Deputy City Lord of Orlando, he still had the authority to allow Lin Bai to enter the library freely for a day.

However, why did he make this request?

“It seems that you didn’t think that you would win either. That’s why you suggested this insignificant bargaining chip,” said Long Mu.

In his opinion, Lin Bai did not think he could win either, which was why he had randomly made a request.

“Then come!” Long Mu’s figure shot out towards Lin Bai. At the same time, he drew his sword from his waist and condensed a preliminary Sword Qi.

Lin Bai’s eyes darkened. Although this Long Mu was not a good person, his talent was indeed extraordinary. He could actually easily condense Sword Qi now.

However, he was a Reader!

Lin Bai grinned. With a flip of his hand, he drew his magic wand.

Previously, he had asked President Destin about the black magic. President Destin had told him that he could only use black magic once more. If he used it again, his soul would be attacked.

“Redocto!”

The magic wand shot out a beam of light that charged towards the metal sword in Long Mu’s hand.

Long Mu did not dodge either. Instead, he simply swung his metal sword at the beam of light, intending to clash head-on with it!

Boom!

A loud sound filled the entire square as smoke covered the entire square. Everyone was waiting for the smoke to dissipate.

After the smoke dissipated, everyone first saw shattered fragments on the ground.

What was that?

Everyone focused their attention.

By the time the students reacted, the square was filled with surprised cries.

Those were fragments of the Long Mu’s metal sword!

“If a Swordsman loses his sword, there’s no need to continue competing,” said Lin Bai indifferently after walking out from the smoke.

However, that calm tone raised a storm in everyone’s hearts!
