Global Superpower: Getting Stronger through Reading

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

Long Mu looked at his shattered metal sword on the floor and his jaw almost fell to the ground.

This… was it?!

He simply could not believe it.

However, Lin Bai remained calm and collected. He said, “You’ve already lost your sword. There’s no need for us to fight after this, right?”

Long Mu’s lips quivered. He wanted to argue further, but Cage saw everything and declared, “Lin Bai wins!”

Although Cage did not like Long Mu’s character and style, his judgment this time was absolutely fair.

After all, for Swordsmen, their sword was their second life.

Long Mu had failed to even protect his own sword. This was already a huge failure.

Moreover, he had actually chosen to use his sword to forcefully resist Lin Bai’s spell.

It should be known that among the Swordsmen, using one’s sword to directly withstand the attacks of the opponent was absolutely prohibited.

It was a blasphemy against the sword.

Long Mu indeed lacked mastery.

“Thank you. I, Lin Bai, will not refuse access to the library for a day.” Lin Bai stuck out his tongue and spoke with a smile.

Meanwhile, Long Mu lowered his head. He could be said to have lost all face today. How could he have any more face to speak of?

At that moment, he wished there was a hole in the ground that he could crawl into.

At the same time, he gnashed his teeth and said softly and viciously, “Lin Bai… I’ll remember what happened today… In the future, I’ll definitely pay everything back!”

Meanwhile, Cage walked closer to Lin Bai. His gaze had already changed from concern and worry to surprise.

“What did you just do?” Cage asked.

Everything had happened too quickly. In that split second, he did not see how Lin Bai had shattered Long Mu’s metal sword. He only saw Lin Bai take out a magic wand.

“Eh… Am I not a Reader… Actually, my ability is to read the souls of all creatures and resonate with all things. I just resonated with his metal sword and persuaded it to… shatter…” Lin Bai was confused as he said some irrelevant words.

Even he did not believe these bullshit words!

Meanwhile, Cage was speechless.

This brat was simply playing with him like a monkey.

He could read the souls of all creatures and resonate with all things?

What the heck was this!

“It’s fine. If you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you to. After all, everyone more or less has some secrets,” said Cage as he patted Lin Bai’s shoulder.

From Cage’s tone, Lin Bai could tell that Cage believed that he had relied on the power of some external object to shatter Long Mu’s sword.

His prejudice was showing.

Even the kind and charitable Cage was no exception.

Thus, Lin Bai could only nod helplessly.

“However, you’d better go for the Hunter Elementary Test. I’ll keep my word,” Cage added at last.

“Thank you, Professor. I’ll definitely do my best!” After obtaining Cage’s approval, Lin Bai thanked him excitedly.

Cage smiled and said, “Be careful.”

Lin Bai nodded. Then, under everyone’s gazes, he stood on the platform in the square alongside the elite students.

Lin Bai naturally intentionally chose a spot and stood on Su Ya’s left.

Su Ya pouted her red lips and smiled. “Well done.”

“I’ve disliked him for a long time.” Lin Bai curled his lips.

“I hope that you will show the same performance during the Hunter Elementary Test,” said Su Ya harshly. However, she was filled with confidence in the young man in front of her.

…

In front of the Death Swamp.

Standing in front of a group of elite students, Cage held his head high and looked very solemn.

After all, Sorcha College could be considered to have gained some confidence in this Hunter Elementary Test.

That was because of Su Ya’s presence.

She was an SS-Grade Assassin!

This was something that had never happened in Sorcha College for the past few years.

“Let me explain the rules for this Hunter Elementary Test,” said Cage in a loud voice.

“Before the Hunter Elementary Test, each of you will have different team missions.”

“Only by passing the team mission will you be able to obtain the location of the actual Hunter Elementary Test.”

“Next, I’ll distribute the team missions for each group.”

After he finished speaking, Cage walked towards the team and gave each team a piece of parchment.

Su Ya took the parchment from Cage and slowly opened it. At this moment, Lin Bai also looked over.

“Your Team Mission: Escort the Ice Cabin!”

A steamboat called the Ice Cabin was transporting a batch of important goods from the Eastern Empire to the Northern Empire.

According to a credible source of information, a group of pirates planned to intercept the cargo when the Ice Cabin passed through the sea.

The college that had received this mission needed to board the Ice Cabin and defeat the pirates to escort the Ice Camp to the Northern Empire!

Lin Bai could not help but gulp. This mission was not simple.

After all, their opponents were pirates.

Speaking of pirates, Lin Bai thought of a series of adjectives including viciousness, murder, and so on that made his scalp tingle.

“This is not simple.” Su Ya also commented on the mission.

Lin Bai looked at the cold beauty, whose lips were parted slightly, and his heart actually surged slightly.

Lin Bai immediately shook his head. His current mission was extremely dangerous, so how could he have the time to think about this?

“Let’s go. This parchment also has a map. Let’s look for the harbor where the Ice Cabin is parked,” said Su Ya.

Lin Bai nodded and followed Su Ya towards the Death Swamp.

They had to pass through the Death Swamp, reach the location of the team mission, and obtain the location for the actual Hunter Elementary Test!

These were the three missions that Su Ya and Lin Bai were facing.

However, crossing the Death Swamp was simply a piece of cake for the two of them.

The two of them walked through the Death Swamp as if it was a flat land with no one around. Soon, they passed through this barren land.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any troublesome monsters like the Master of the Swamp along the way. On the way, Su Ya was the one attacking creatures. As for Lin Bai, he was afraid of the backlash from the black magic, so he remained indifferent as much as he could.

“Why have you not been attacking?” Su Ya furrowed her eyebrows.

“That… I need to conserve my strength.” Lin Bai casually replied.

Su Ya angrily rolled her eyes at Lin Bai. Then, she continued dealing with the surrounding magical creatures.

After passing through the Death Swamp, Lin Bai and Su Ya ran towards the designated port.

“Look! It’s the Ice Cabin!” Su Ya pointed at a pure white ship not too far away and shouted excitedly.

Lin Bai smiled and said, “Let’s board it together.”

Su Ya nodded her head happily.

The Ice Cabin stood in the sea. From afar, it looked magnificent, making it seem like those exciting and romantic scenes from a fairy tale.

Lin Bai looked at Su Ya, who was excited by the large ship, and a thought could not help but sprout in his heart.

Pirates?

Whoever dared to destroy this romantic setting was his enemy.

Then, Lin Bai boarded the ship with firm steps..
