Chapter 124: Strike
Chapter 124: Strike
At Quancheng Third Middle School, the elite class had their exclusive training ground.
A training session was underway, featuring a battle between a Red Ape and a Goblin Warrior.
The fight between the Red Ape and the Goblin was intense, with both sides trading blows.
Lin Jian Ying, the owner of the Goblin Warrior, watched with relief as his pet performed admirably.
Recently, Lin Jian Ying had been under immense pressure, primarily due to financial constraints.
His selection for the elite class wasn't solely based on his Goblin's quality but also because his family had some resources.
Lin's parents were professional summoners, and although they had lost contact a few years ago, they had left him with a substantial inheritance.
Using this inheritance, Lin had managed to enhance his Goblin to its current state.
Initially, the funds were supposed to last him until the High School League and beyond.
However, when his grandmother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, Lin diverted all the money meant for Goblin breeding to her medical treatment, and it still wasn't enough.
This disruption in funding, coupled with the time spent caring for his grandmother, caused a halt in the Goblin's breeding process, and it gradually fell behind the team's pace.
Ye Qingsnow had even spoken to him, making it clear that if he couldn't keep up, he would be removed from the primary team.
This situation put immense pressure on Lin Jian Ying.
Fortunately, he managed to pull through.
Not only did his Goblin catch up with the team, but it also surpassed them to some extent.
Just as Lin Jian Ying was feeling relieved, the training session came to an end, with the Goblin Warrior narrowly defeating the Red Ape.
"Well done! Kid, I didn't expect you to not only catch up but also surpass me!"
The classmate who had fought against Lin's Goblin punched him in excitement, genuinely happy for Lin's progress.
As a classmate and teammate, he was well aware of Lin's recent struggles, and seeing him keep up with the team was a relief.
However, at that moment, Ye Qingsnow, who had been observing from the sidelines, furrowed her brows.
"Lin Jian Ying, come to my office!"
After saying this, Ye Qingsnow turned and left.
Lin Jian Ying, caught off guard by the sudden summons, was perplexed as to why Ye Qingsnow wanted to see him. His heart raced with anxiety, but he didn't dare delay. He promptly headed to Ye Qingsnow's office with his Goblin.
As soon as he pushed open the office door, Lin's heart sank at the sight of Ye Qingsnow's cold expression.
Ye Qingsnow approached Lin's Goblin, examining it closely.
Finally, she turned her gaze to Lin's face.
"Your Goblin has made significant progress in breeding recently. During the previous battle, the tactical structure was also adjusted, with minimal changes that were almost unnoticeable."
Ye Qingsnow's face grew even colder as she spoke, causing Lin to shiver in fear, unable to utter a word.
But his silence didn't mean all was well.
"There are many breeders of this caliber, but not many in Quancheng. Even if there were, with your current financial situation, you couldn't afford them. So, I'm curious, who is helping you for free?
I recall you living in the same neighborhood as Lu Wuzhu. Could it be him?"
"Yes!"
Lin Jian Ying nodded, his scalp tingling.
At the beginning, Ye Qingsnow's face was almost frostbitten.
Regarding Lu Wu, Ye Qingsnow initially regarded him as a mere minion, someone beneath her notice, and she never gave him a second thought.
Even during the Quancheng Cup, when the conflict between Team 233 and Ye Qingsnow arose, although she was angry, she still didn't hold Lu Wu in high regard.
As proud as she was, unless Lu Wu could defeat the student she had trained, she would never view him favorably.
Could Lu Wu defeat the student she had trained?
That was clearly impossible!
Even if Lu Wu had a Breeder backing him; it was still out of the question!
Ye Qingsnow had faith in herself!
But the subsequent developments slapped her hard across the face. Lu Wu defeated her trained student, and although it was just her most ordinary student, it was enough to shock her.
In a 16-9-1-9-1-8-1-0 book, she couldn't believe it!
However, before she could recover from this shock, Lu Wu's Breeder identity was soon exposed.
The revelation of Lu Wu's identity was like a slap in the face for Ye Qingsnow.
This slap made her feel stung until now! Whenever she heard Lu Wu's name, she couldn't help but feel irritated.
Under these circumstances, she discovered that Lin Jian Ying's Goblin had been trained by Lu Wu, and her anger ignited immediately.
What was Lu Wu up to?
Was he sympathizing with Lin Jian Ying's situation and trying to help him?
Don't make me laugh! Ye Qingsnow didn't believe Lu Wu could be so kind!
Initially, she had only fired Lu Wu, and now he was deliberately embarrassing her. How could someone with such a narrow mind be so considerate?
In Ye Qingsnow's eyes, Lu Wu's actions were like slapping her in the face.
How could Ye Qingsnow endure this?
"When did my student, Ye Qingsnow, ever need Lu Wu to teach him?
Fine, since he wants to teach, I'll grant his wish!"
"Starting now, you are no longer a member of the Elite Class, nor are you my student!
If he wants to teach you, go ahead! Find him!
And tell him that I'll get my revenge during the High School League!"
The furious Ye Qingsnow didn't give Lin Jian Ying any chance to explain and directly expelled him from the Elite Class!
As for Lin Jian Ying...
Suddenly expelled from the Elite Class, he was stunned, his face turning deathly pale, filled with panic, and he almost knelt before Ye Qingsnow, begging her not to expel him.
Perhaps, in Ye Qingsnow's eyes, he could leave the Elite Class and find Lu Wu, still eligible to participate in the High School League.
But Lin Jian Ying knew.
It was impossible. If he left the Elite Class, all his hopes would be dashed.
He wouldn't look for Lu Wu. He dared not, and he had no face to do so! The initial betrayal had exhausted all his courage, making him regretful until now, and he still couldn't bring himself to face Lu Wu.
How could he possibly have the courage to meet Lu Wu and ask him to take him back?
Therefore, he must not leave the Elite Class.
But Ye Qingsnow, in her anger, wouldn't listen to his pleas, no matter what he said or how he begged.
In the end, Ye Qingsnow still expelled him from the Elite Class.
Lin Jian Ying hadn't recovered from the blow of being expelled from the Elite Class when another piece of news hit him: his grandmother's condition had worsened, and she was on the brink of passing away!

This chapter is shorter due to a bit of writer's block and some personal matters. I'll try to make the next chapter longer!
