Chapter 1350 - An Lin’s Speech
Chapter 1350: An Lin’s Speech
Just as An Lin was ridiculing the principal in his mind, a voice suddenly traveled over from the stage.
“Next, please welcome our student representative, the most prodigious student of The United University of Cultivation, on stage! He has the title of ‘Heavenly Court War God’ and the title of ‘Light of the Nine Kingdoms’. Please welcome Student An Lin!”
After this was said, loud cheers and thunderous applause boomed across the entire plaza.
The atmosphere on the plaza was even more enthusiastic than when Principal Wang Xianyu was delivering his speech.
Practically every teacher and student was applauding excitedly! It was evident just how highly regarded An Lin was in this university. He had already become a living legend!
An Lin stood up upon hearing this. He jumped slightly, and he appeared on the stage in the flash of an eye.
“Good heavens! How did Senior An Lin get onto the stage just then?”
“Teleportation?”
“No, I think that it’s the most impressive spatial dao divine technique—spatial skipping!”
Cries of surprise washed over the plaza.
Before the teachers and students had even caught sight of An Lin’s movements, he had already arrived before the speaker’s podium. This kind of movement technique caused the audience members to exclaim in admiration.
Below the stage, Wang Xianyu squinted his eyes slightly. This isn’t spatial skipping or whatnot,
he thought in his mind. How can a newly ranked up Return to Void Stage cultivator master such a profound technique? He most likely used some peculiar movement technique. Combined with his control over spatial power, this technique can render the same effects as spatial skipping under certain conditions.In fact, Wang Xianyu was very familiar with the technique that An Lin had used. It was a core spell technique of Kun Peng, the beast that had used Kun Kun Transform to transform him into a whale. It was its core spell technique—Kun Peng Travel!
How come An Lin possesses the Kun Peng Travel spell technique?
Wang Xianyu widened his round eyes and stared at An Lin curiously.
An Lin cleared his throat in front of the tens of thousands of teachers and students. “Thinking back, I was still a blank sheet of paper when I first walked through the gates of this university. I was merely a dazed and confused cultivation noob.
“At that time, I met you guys, my adorable teachers and fellow students. Thinking back now, I was actually completely uninterested in spirit stones and cultivation. I was the happiest during that period of time, the period of time when I had nothing at all.”
The teachers and students all stared at An Lin with stunned expressions.
Wang Xianyu’s body trembled slightly, and his two eyes were squinted into crescent shapes. He tried his best to keep his thick, sausage-like lips shut, yet he still couldn’t prevent them from curling up at the corners. He was already trying extremely hard not to laugh.
An Lin paused for a moment before continuing, “Now, I’ve already entered the cultivation world for a full four years. I feel like my cultivation aptitude is decent. At the very least, I haven’t dragged the quality of our university down...”
“Pfff...” Wang Xianyu couldn’t contain himself any longer, and he started trembling as he spat out a stream of bubbles.
The teachers and students all wore expressions of despair. Decent aptitude? What the f*ck do you mean?! It’s we who are dragging down the university’s average level of cultivation aptitude!
“I’ve also managed to not let my teachers down. I’ve finally reached the Return to Void Stage before graduating...” An Lin sighed with emotion.
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao, Earth Immortal Cang Qing, and the other teachers all wanted to vomit blood.
What the f*ck do you mean didn’t let us down?!
The teachers certainly weren’t that daring. They had never dared to expect for An Lin to reach the Return to Void Stage before graduating.
At this moment, Xu Xiaolan already couldn’t help but slap her forehead and heave a long sigh.
After overcoming the tribulation, An Lin had stated that he disliked commendation ceremonies and wanted to keep a low profile. Now that he was standing on stage, however, he was flexing so much that he had probably forgotten his own f*cking name!
“As expected, I can’t trust An Lin’s words.” Xu Xiaolan shook her head.
“What’s this called? This is called showing one’s true colors! This is exactly how Master should be—mighty and domineering!” Xue Zhantian expressed his completely different opinion. He happily flapped his little wings as he watched on.
“When I was about to graduate from the third year, I founded the Four Nine Immortal Sect,” An Lin continued. “At that time, I merely wanted to create a sect for my friends and me to muck around in. To my surprise, we accidentally developed it into a first-rate cultivation sect of the Kingdom of the Nine States...”
The teachers and students felt their chests tighten as they continued listening to An Lin’s speech.
They couldn’t help but think, Am I really living in the same university as An Lin?
An Lin didn’t seem to take notice of the teachers and students’ expressions. Rather, he clenched his fists and continued, “As the saying goes, the more powerful one becomes, the more responsibility one has to bear. Since our Four Nine Immortal Sect has already developed to such a state, we’ll naturally try our best to fulfill our social responsibilities and obligations.
“Thus, my sect will pursue justice for disadvantaged groups such as vulnerable itinerant cultivators and other weaker sects. My sect has annihilated numerous demonic sects, and we’ve even obliterated the new and powerful Divine Dark Dao Sect! I feel like my sect has performed decently these few years! It’s roughly up to standard.”
The teachers and students clutched at their chests. Performed decently? Roughly up to standard?
Don’t you know that your Four Nine Immortal Sect has basically hijacked the front covers of all the newspapers in the Kingdom of the Nine States recently?
What do you mean by performed decently? This is genuinely terrifying, okay?!
Ask yourself, which other sect has become a first-rate sect a mere two years after its founding? In the fifty-thousand year history of the Kingdom of the Nine States, there’s only been one—Four Nine Immortal Sect!
“I feel like my sect will become better and better in the future. I’m confident of this.” An expectant look appeared on An Lin’s face as he swept his gaze over the teachers and students. “The Four Nine Immortal Sect welcomes those with lofty ambitions and noble ideals. We welcome you to join our large family.”
The students on the plaza instantly descended into heated discussions.
The two principals almost fell off the stage.
“Student An Lin! Please spare us some students!” Vice-Principal Yu Hua hurriedly transmitted a message to An Lin.
Wang Xianyu was also given a huge shock. So be it if An Lin wanted to flex during his speech. But why was he trying to steal the Heavenly Court’s students from under their noses? They were almost about to suffer a heart attack!
An Lin had lost himself to the joy of flexing, and Vice-Principal Yu Hua’s voice transmission came as a timely reminder. He regained his senses and added, “Of course, the Heavenly Court still possesses the best cultivation resources and potential within the Kingdom of the Nine States. It’s still the best choice for students after graduating. My Four Nine Immortal Sect has a high entry point, lax management, and also slack Pavilion Lords. In comparison, my sect is much worse than the Heavenly Court.”
What he didn’t expect was, this remark of his caused some prodigies to become restless with anticipation.
“In these four to five years, I’ve experienced many things. To be completely honest, I feel embarrassed to be standing here and receiving the university’s highest commendation. I feel like I can still do better!
“After the battle against the Heavenly Wind God, Principal Wang remarked that the school’s greatest fortune was having me, a peerless prodigy, fight with my life on the line for the sake of the university...”
An Lin turned his gaze toward Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, Liu Dabao, Yao Mingxi... and the tens of thousands of teachers and students. A warm smile blossomed on his face. “But do you guys know? My greatest fortune was coming to this school and meeting you guys. Therefore, I can fight with my life to protect this greatest fortune of mine!”
The plaza instantly fell silent upon hearing this.
Then, deafening applause and exuberant cheers washed over the plaza.
Countless students were teary-eyed as they gazed at the sincere male on the stage. They offered him their applause as well as their utmost respect.
Xu Xiaolan was also teary-eyed, and she also clapped along with the other teachers and students.
She could see a different emotion in An Lin’s eyes. An Lin had spoken those words from his heart! Moreover, she noticed that An Lin had looked at her first when saying those words. That small gesture touched her greatly...
Meanwhile, a chant of An Lin’s name had become the only sound reverberating throughout the plaza!
The tens of thousands of teachers and students expressed their utmost respect for the male on the stage.
This was their Senior An Lin, the pride of The United University of Cultivation!
