Monster Paradise

After Lin Xin broke through bronze-level, she leveled up to bronze-level rank-3 in less than a day just by eating Life Crystals. Her speed of upgrading was so fast that even Lin Huang, who owned a Goldfinger, was impressed. Luckily, she could not break through a whole level just by eating Life Crystals, or else she would get to imperial-level within a week.

Since her Life Power was almost stable now, Lin Huang started training her once a week, mainly to strengthen her battle experience. She was also fast in gaining battle experience. Besides training Lin Xin, Lin Huang gave his all to his students as well. His class on Friday should have started from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., but he would always stay back until 11 p.m. and sometimes even midnight. That was like giving three sessions of classes. However, the students of Sword Dao Class 2 were all ambitious. None of them complained and were dedicated to learning.

The battle drill at the beginning of December was when Lin Huang had been interrogated for Hong Zhuang’s case which caused the Sword Dao Class 2’s assessment results to deteriorate. Although the class ranked No. 2 in the Sword Dao faculty, they were more than 200 points away from Class 1 and almost ranked No. 3 at less than 20 points ahead of No. 3. That made the students even more determined in their training.

Lin Huang was glad to see the students’ dedication. Meanwhile, Qin Tianxing seemed to be depressed due to Hong Zhuang’s incident, and he did not sit in this time. Lin Huang knew that it had nothing to do with himself, but because Qin Tianxing liked Hong Zhuang. He took it very hard when he found out that Hong Zhuang was one of the Purple Crow members and that she was now dead.

However, Lin Huang did not plan to tell him that Hong Zhuang was still alive. On the one hand, it was because Hong Zhuang wanted to keep it a secret and on the other hand, he did not want Old Qin to get close to her. With his character, it was very possible that Hong Zhuang might kill him. Qin Tianxing was one of the countable good friends that Lin Huang had in the college. He did not want to see Qin Tianxing fall into Hong Zhuang’s trap.

Time flashed by, and it was the end of December. Some parts of the White Capital was snowing. Although it was sunny every day in the Martial Hunter College which was located in the central zone, the lake in the college was frozen. Students started wearing fur coats to college. Of course, this weather was nothing to transcendent-level humans. Lin Huang still dressed casually in school to continue his routine to the library, the battle training ground and his dorm.

After dinner, he trained with Liu Ming again. Liu Ming suppressed his combat level to purple flame-level during the training. If not for his breakthrough in Sword Dao, Liu Ming would have suppressed his combat level to gold flame-level while training with him. Throughout the 20 days, Liu Ming was impressed by Lin Huang’s abilities. He could feel Lin Huang’s improvement over time when they trained. It was scary to know that Lin Huang was getting more and more powerful with each training.

With Liu Ming’s high Sword Dao mastery and the pressure of his abilities, Lin Huang did not limit himself to sword skills anymore. He used Vampire Particles, Telekinesis, Witchcraft, Punishment, and other attack Monster Skills during the training. As he grew in his command of Sword Dao, Lin Huang was getting familiar with Vampire Particles, Telekinesis, Witchcraft, and the other skills. He had activated some new techniques from those Monster Skills. He had even modified his Worldly Purification to Flowing Fire Sword!

The new technique was inclusive of tens of millions of sword techniques whereby the effect was similar to Worldly Purification. The target would be burnt to ashes from the attack. Lin Huang was working on the second technique as he wanted to compress the Thunder Sting to become a powerful attack with even faster speed. He had been discussing with Liu Ming for the past few days as well as training for many days, but nothing happened.

”Bro, why are you still going to the library every day? Shouldn’t you have finished all the sword skills required by the school programme? I’ve already shown you the sword skills that aren’t in the books. Why not use the time you spend in the library to train here?” Liu Ming felt refreshed over time as he trained with Lin Huang since they were going for different directions in Sword Dao. Although Lin Huang’s mastery of Sword Dao was not as far as Liu Ming was, Liu Ming would always learn something new from Lin Huang, so he wanted to train more.

”I’ve already read about all the sword skills and learned all of them. What I’m reading now is about other combat skills including Saber Dao, Spear Dao, and other gunfighting techniques to see if I can get some inspiration.”

Liu Ming was stunned when he heard that as he had never thought of reading about other topics. It was definitely an inspiration for him, but there might be some disadvantages to that.

”It’s okay to read other stuff as long as you’re not distracted.”

”Don’t worry. I’m not distracted.” Lin Huang shook his head while smiling.

”Oh yeah, it’s less than a month to the school holidays. What plans do you have?” Liu Ming asked in anticipation. He was not asking what plans Lin Huang had during the holidays, but rather if he would like to teach in the school after the semester.

Lin Huang understood what Liu Ming was trying to say.

”I’ll leave Division 7 after I’m done with some stuff. I won’t be able to teach after this semester ends.” Lin Huang shook his head and smiled.

Although Liu Ming was disappointed, he had expected that.

”It’s good to leave. The proper place for you to shine would be the core zone. You don’t have to resign. I’ll save a spot for you here. You’re always welcome back,” Liu Ming said.

”Since you have leveled up to imperial-level, I supposed you’ll leave next year too, bro?” Lin Huang recalled.

”Yeah, the management has informed me that I’ll be the Vice President of the Martial Hunter College in Division 3. There’ll be a new dean sent here, but that doesn’t change your position here. Many people in this college hold the position of a teacher, but they don’t teach. Besides, the college’s system is connected. If you’re willing to, you can follow me to Division 3 to teach,” Liu Ming invited.

”It’s okay. I don’t think I’ll have the time to teach.” Lin Huang shook his head.

”Then, you’ll still have your position in the college, but you don’t have to teach. It’s set.” Liu Ming decided to ignore Lin Huang’s rejection.

”Alright, then.” Seeing that Liu Ming insisted, Lin Huang did not decline.

”Oh yeah, brother, there’s something that I need to ask,” Lin Huang recalled something that he had always wanted to ask Liu Ming or Mr. Fu. ”You know that I’m on holy fire-level now. I’m restricted from a lot of information if I don’t join any organization. Do you have any suggestion about what I should do?”

”There’s nothing much that you can do if you don’t join any organization since most of the information is held with organizations nowadays. The information open to transcendent-levels and above is expensive on the black market. They even sell some of the free information, and there is plenty of fake information. The best is to join an organization.

”But, of course, you can build your own small organization if you don’t want to join any organization. Though, you’ll have to work with other bigger organizations for your information data bank. There’s nothing else you can do as it takes tens of years to build a data bank for your own organization.” Liu Ming did not have any better suggestion than that. ”I think it’s easy for you to get yourself an executive position in the Hunter Association. Their management is pretty liberal.”

”It won’t take much time to be a staff below the executive level, but executives will have to sign a contract, and there’s a mission every year. I’m used to being on my own. Let me think about it then.” Lin Huang smiled awkwardly as he shook his head.

Positions above executive level were officially considered top management in the Hunter Association. There would be some restrictions as they would not have the freedom of ordinary hunters.

”Why not you ask Mr. Fu?” Liu Ming could not think of anything else than that.

”Alright, then. I’ll ask him after he comes back a few days later. He might be busy now.” Lin Huang nodded.

”Wait for him to come back? Where did he go?” Liu Ming raised an eyebrow.

”He said he would leave Division 7 for a couple of days. I’ve no idea where exactly he’s gone. He’s been away for half a month.” Lin Huang shook his head.

”He left Division 7? Why did he leave?!” Liu Ming was in shock.

”What’s wrong with him leaving Division 7?” Lin Huang thought what Liu Ming asked was odd.

”No… Nothing.” Liu Ming peeped at Lin Huang and did not say anything further.

”It’s late. Let’s end our training here,” Liu Ming said after realizing it was past 11 p.m.

”Bro, are you and master hiding something from me?” Lin Huang figured that something was not right.

”I guess Mr. Fu has his reasons for not telling you. It’s better for me to not interfere. Maybe it’s better for you to ask him yourself.” Liu Ming did not deny it.

”Okay, then.” Lin Huang thought about it and shook his head.
