Chapter 44 Lin Hao: Have you heard of Shrek Academy?
From the shadows behind the wall, a tall figure slowly emerged; it was Yu Tianheng.
His posture was slightly stiff, his silvery-white hair swayed gently in the night breeze of the courtyard, and his face showed a hint of unease that was hard to hide.
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised, and asked, "Yu Tianheng, did you need something from me?"
Yu Tianheng's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched slightly. His Adam's apple bobbed twice before he stammered, his voice a few decibels lower than usual, "I...I'm willing to acknowledge you as my boss."
When he said this, he didn't even dare to look Lin Hao in the eye. After all, he had been unwilling to admit it because of his pride. Now that he had taken the initiative to lower his head, it was a huge concession for him.
However, Lin Hao simply shook his head slightly, his tone calm yet firm, "No need. As I said before, I joined the Royal Fighting Team only for cultivation resources, aiming to improve my soul power, and I have no intention of becoming anyone's leader."
Lin Hao's words contained no sarcasm, but were simply a statement of fact. Yet, they still made Yu Tianheng's cheeks burn slightly.
Yu Tianheng possesses the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and has an extremely strong personality.
He had already humbled himself and acknowledged Lin Hao as his boss, but Lin Hao still refused.
To Lin Hao's surprise, Yu Tianheng was neither angry nor did he refute. He simply pursed his lips and stood silently in place.
In the darkness, a hint of disappointment could be seen in Yu Tianheng's eyes.
Seeing his demeanor, Lin Hao realized he didn't seem to be simply there to acknowledge him as a leader, so he spoke again: "Just say what you need to say, it's late now. Although I don't want to be your brother, you are still my teammate, so there's no need to hide anything. Judging from your expression, you have something else to discuss with me, right?"
Yu Tianheng suddenly looked up, a struggle flashing in his eyes. Finally, as if he had made a great decision, he took a step forward, his hands slightly clenched into fists, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.
"Lin Hao, I want to become your disciple!"
The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
Yu Tianheng visited late at night, having waited for a long time, only to find out that he wanted to become Lin Hao's disciple!
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao did not hesitate at all. After his initial surprise, he shook his head directly, "I will not accept you as my disciple."
"Why?" Yu Tianheng pressed, his tone tinged with urgency. "I know I was resentful towards you before, and you were angry with me. But I've already admitted my mistakes. Your control over the Blue Silver Grass, your attribute reversal, and the speed at which your soul power increases are all far superior to mine. I'm completely convinced by you, and I genuinely want to learn your true skills. I sincerely wish to become your disciple!"
In terms of age, Lin Hao is a few years younger than Yu Tianheng.
It's hard to imagine that these words actually came from the mouth of the proud and arrogant Yu Tianheng.
However, Lin Hao did not encounter any major surprises.
Yu Tianheng is indeed a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, Yu Tianheng's mother came from a poor background; he was born out of wedlock, and his mother was a concubine whom his father had taken.
Among his equally outstanding peers, and his competitors, was a legitimate daughter, Yu Tianxin.
Among the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, most supported the legitimate daughter, Yu Tianxin, when the younger generation was equally outstanding.
Yu Tianheng is at a disadvantage in the position of clan leader.
With guidance from his elders, Yu Tianheng realized that by staying at Thunder Academy and with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, he would never be able to win over Yu Tianxin.
So Yu Tianheng went out to seek external help, hoping to rely on it to help him take the throne of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Seeking external help is only one means. If one can improve one's own strength, surpass Yu Tianxin who has the same talent, or even crush Yu Tianxin in front of one's clansmen.
It wasn't just defeating them, it was crushing them.
If Yu Tianheng could crush Yu Tianxin in front of his clansmen, it would be very beneficial for him to become the clan leader.
Having witnessed Lin Hao's outstanding qualities one after another, Yu Tianheng, for the sake of his dream, finally humbled himself and became Lin Hao's apprentice.
"Stop, I still won't accept you as my apprentice."
"Why? I sincerely want to become your disciple, so why won't you accept me as your apprentice?"
"Have you heard of Shrek Academy?" Lin Hao suddenly asked.
Yu Tianheng was taken aback, blinked, and asked, "You mean Teacher Qin Ming's alma mater? I heard Teacher Qin mention it; he said it's a very special academy that only admits students with potential. What does that have to do with you not accepting me as your student?"
"Shrek Academy only recruits geniuses, not mediocre ones. They take pride in nurturing genius graduates," Lin Hao said slowly, his tone carrying a unique persistence. "But I, Lin Hao, am the exact opposite. I only teach those who are useless. In my view, geniuses already have an aura; nurturing them isn't a skill. But if you can transform those considered 'useless' by others into extraordinary individuals who can defeat geniuses, that is the true, supreme glory. Yu Tianheng, do you understand now that I've explained it to you like this?"
Yu Tianheng shuddered, his hands clenched even tighter, his knuckles turning slightly white.
He finally understood that Lin Hao wasn't criticizing his talent, but rather saying that his talent was too good.
Lin Hao refused to accept him as a disciple, on the grounds that he was not "useless".
The main reason is that his "standards" are different from others.
As a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Yu Tianheng was raised as a genius from a young age and was never considered a "waste," so he naturally did not meet Lin Hao's criteria for accepting a disciple.
He remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded. Rejected by Lin Hao again, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he turned to leave.
"Stop right there."
Just as Yu Tianheng took two steps, Lin Hao's voice suddenly came from behind him.
He paused, turned around abruptly, his eyes still holding a trace of lingering disappointment, yet also a hint of anticipation.
Lin Hao looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "You want to become my disciple, that takes courage, and your judgment isn't bad either. At least you didn't misjudge who is qualified to be your master. Fine, considering you waited for me late at night and took the initiative to humble yourself, I'll teach you a few practical moves, as a way of fulfilling our teammate's duty."
Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up instantly, and his voice trembled with excitement, "You're willing to take me as your disciple?"
"I don't want to." Lin Hao shook his head decisively and said clearly again, "I said, you're not a good-for-nothing, you're not qualified to be my disciple."
Seeing that the light in Yu Tianheng's eyes was about to dim again, he changed the subject.
"However, teaching you a few techniques wouldn't hurt. I heard Teacher Qin Ming mention that you've been pondering the training method for the 'Rasengan' lately, but haven't quite grasped the essence, right?"
"Yes."
Yu Tianheng really wants to learn the Rasengan.
He asked Qin Ming to teach him. Qin Ming said he had promised Lin Hao that without Lin Hao's permission, not even his wife and children could teach others the Rasengan.
Helpless, Yu Tianheng could only try to figure out the training method for the Rasengan on his own, but he couldn't get the hang of it.
Yu Tianheng was excited and asked, "Are you willing to teach me the Rasengan?"
Lin Hao shook his head. "I don't want to."
Yu Tianheng remained calm, his gaze fixed on Lin Hao. He showed no anger, understanding that Lin Hao's words must have a deeper meaning. He wisely waited quietly for Lin Hao to speak.
