Chapter 415: Invitation from the Empress



Under complicated gazes, he left the Refinement Tower with the students of Class 9C.

When he returned to his dormitory, he immediately passed out on the bed.

Everyone only saw him break apart Chu Shanhe’s scheme in an extremely beautiful way, but no one was aware of the effort and time he had put in in the past seven days.

It was the first time that he had tried to repair a rune armament. The slightest mistake could have destroyed the treasure.

Imaginably, the repair of the sword was extremely taxing.

He hadn’t rested at all in the four days and had been racking his brain for a solution to repair the sword.

In the end, he succeeded!

However, he paid a high price. He was so exhausted that he didn’t want to move an inch. He just wanted to collapse on his bed and sleep to his heart’s content.

……

While he was in deep slumber, the news about the restoration of the Sword of Apocalypse quickly spread through Qinglu Academy and caused a sensation.

By night, the news had spread throughout the Forbidden City like wildfire and sparked an uproar.

“Lin Xun is so abnormal!”

Many people couldn’t believe that Lin Xun again had caused such a stir just after one month of being verified as a rune grandmaster.

The sword was a treasure of the empress and had brought a headache to many top experienced rune grandmasters, but Lin Xun, a teenage rune grandmaster, managed to restore it to its original condition.

This was incredibly unbelievable.

That night, Lin Xun’s name spread to every corner of the Forbidden City like the plague and caused a commotion.

Unquestionably, he had once again proved his strength, and his prestige had soared to a new height.

He was the master of Mind Cleansing Peak, the martial arts genius who had defeated Hua Wuyou, the teenage rune grandmaster who had invoked the cry of the nine dragons, and the top instructor of Qinglu Academy who had repaired the Sword of Apocalypse.

Lin Xun was shrouded in one dazzling halo after another, and behind each one was a sensational story.

He had achieved all those titles within one year!

……

To some influential figures, the repair of the Sword of Apocalypse was too special and unusual.

It was a rune armament!

It was a treasure belonging to the empress!

His amazing feat not only brought him glory, but also showed his dazzling potential.

If Lin Xun could repair rune armaments, he wasn’t far from being able to craft a rune armament!

How unbelievable would it be if a teenager was able to craft a rune armament?

Who would dare offend a genius like him?

It wouldn’t be good to offend a rune grandmaster capable of crafting rune armaments!

Most importantly, Lin Xun had repaired a treasure belonging to the empress. How would the empress not take notice of a young talent such as Lin Xun?

His newly formed relationship with the empress was equivalent to gaining a terrifying protector!

“Lin Xun not only has astonishing potential, but also unbelievably good luck. He reversed the situation and obtained an unexpected tremendous harvest.”

Many people couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.

“Hey, Chu Shanhe has been completely humiliated. After this incident, not only will he lose face, but people will also say that he is jealous of real talents!”

“Indeed, the Deputy Head of the Rune Department was defeated by a teenager. How embarrassing!”

“As long as Lin Xun remains in the Rune Department, Chu Shanhe won’t be able to lift his head again. It will be very awkward for him.”

Many people shared the same thought. Chu Shanhe not only failed to do anything to Lin Xun, but he also dug a hole for himself. He likely can’t raise his head again in the future.

Lin Tianlong, Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu all turned ashen-faced when they heard the news.

The blow was too heavy for them.

Lin Xun’s sudden strong rise had already plunged the three collateral branches of the Lin Clan into turmoil.

They had no choice but to ask for help from the Zuo and Qin families to deal with Lin Xun.

Who would have thought that before they acted, Lin Xun would end up humiliating an influential figure such as Chu Shanhe, and the incident would spread throughout the entire Forbidden City?

On the other hand, the youth’s prestige and reputation had soared to a whole new level after he repaired the Sword of Apocalypse.

Additionally, it was very likely that he would receive a reward from the imperial family and had also created a good impression on the emperor!

The more dazzling and amazing Lin Xun was, the heavier the blow felt to the three collateral branches!

Under these circumstances, the teenager could expose his fangs and attack them at any time!

“Just you wait, the Zuo and Qin Clans haven’t acted yet. We will let you jump around for a little longer!”

Lin Tianlong, Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu pinned all their hopes on the Zuo and Qin Clans.

……

“Dao Seeker, to challenge the fourth level of the Omega Secret Realm one has to be at least the Spirit Sea Stage.”

As Lin Xun woke up from his deep sleep, a familiar cold and emotionless voice rang in his ears.

His eyes snapped open, and he drew a deep breath. His jet-black eyes glazed over in contemplation. In the end, he suppressed the impulse to challenge the next level of the Omega Secret Realm.

He had broken through to the perfect intermediate Spirit Sea Stage and was only one step away from the advanced Spirit Sea Stage. Basically, he was qualified to challenge the fourth level of the Omega Secret Realm, but he lacked the energy and time to do so.

He had to teach, hone his martial arts, study runes, keep a close eye on the affairs in Mind Cleansing Peak, and be vigilant against attacks from the Zuo and Qin Clans.

How would Lin Xun have the mood and time to challenge the level?

Moreover, he knew the fourth level of the Omega Secret Realm wasn’t simple.

If possible, he would rather challenge the fourth level when he reached the advanced Spirit Sea Stage as that would give him a greater chance of passing.

After a long stretch, Lin Xun walked out of his room.

Soon, he learned from Shen Tuo that he had slept for two full days, and during those two days, the news that he had repaired the Sword of Apocalypse stirred up a storm in the Forbidden City.

Deputy Head Chu Shanhe chose to retreat for now and had gone into closed-door cultivation in the Chu Clan’s residence.

Chu Shanhe’s decision was very wise. He would have heard humiliating remarks if he stayed around in the Rune Department.

Once the storm subsided, he might have a chance to fight back in the future.

As a result, Lin Xun felt much more relaxed.

Shen Tuo told him that the Department Head had reassured him that he could stay comfortably at the Rune Department and that he would receive special treatment.

Shen Tuo then mentioned the Sword of Apocalypse again. Lin Xun had won recognition from the imperial family after the repaired treasure was returned.

Lin Xun asked bluntly, “Is there going to be a reward?”

Shen Tuo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He brought out a jade-like letter marked with the violet glory flower symbol and said, “This is an invitation for the empress’ 300th birthday banquet. They made an exception to invite you.”

Lin Xun exclaimed, “That’s the reward?”

In his opinion, it was just a birthday feast and couldn’t be considered a reward.

Shen Tuo almost rolled his eyes, but he patiently explained, “Lin Xun, do you know how many influential figures would fight over the invitation? It is a great honor to be able to attend the birthday banquet. Every single person there will be an authority figure!”

Lin Xun stared at him blankly and still saw it as nothing special. Even if the guests there are remarkable influential figures, what does that have to do with me?

“You—I don’t know what to say about you. If you attend the birthday banquet, there is a high chance you will win the favor of the emperor given that you have successfully repaired the Sword of Apocalypse.”

Shen Tuo bluntly told Lin Xun about the real benefit of attending the birthday banquet.

Sure enough, Lin Xun gave a satisfied smile. “That’s good. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for me.”

Shen Tuo couldn’t help but smile wryly. This kid is peculiar. Other people would do anything for the opportunity to attend the empress’s birthday banquet, but he doesn’t care. He is only moved by tangible benefits and rewards.

There was only half a month until the empress’ 300th birthday banquet, but Lin Xun didn’t care much and continued to train and cultivate every day as before.

The only change was that he had become even more popular and his lecture hall, which was specially approved by the Department Head, was always full.

In addition to students from other classes, instructors, and rune grandmasters from the Rune Department also attended his lectures!

The scene could be described as a sea of people.

This was because Lin Xun had successfully restored the Sword of Apocalypse. His current mastery in the art of runes had amazed many rune grandmasters!

As the date of the birthday banquet neared, it started to attract the attention of the entire Forbidden City.

This was because the banquet was much grander than in previous years!
