Chapter 162: Chapter 161: Take Down His Arrogance

Lin Hao has never been one to follow the rules.

Because once, what he said was the rule.

If this wasn’t Tang Guodong’s domain, if Sister Li had shown any hesitation or mockery after he had finished speaking, he would not have minded breaking so-called rules immediately.

With his current strength, no one in the Inner Courtyard could stop him unless there were still some old folks around.

After Sister Li registered, Lin Hao gave her a cold glance before turning to leave: "Su Mo, take me to the dean."

Lin Hao was impatient to acquire Primordial Stones and didn’t want to waste too much time.

After all, his goal was not just to become a Grandmaster.

He didn’t know who Lan Xiyue was marrying or when Lan Xiyue was getting married, but he had to do everything he could to the utmost in the shortest time possible.

"Ah, okay, I’ll lead the way right away." Seeing Lin Hao’s icy demeanor, Su Mo didn’t dare say anything and hurriedly led the way.

Seeing him leave, Sister Li shut down the computer and told everyone in the hall: "The task distribution ends here for today. Everyone, come early tomorrow."

"Sister Li, it’s not time yet, why have you ended it?"

"Yeah, we are still waiting to receive tasks."

"Receive what tasks? Sister Li Shuangyan is the flower of our courtyard. Didn’t you see how fierce that kid was to Sister Li just now? Come on, let’s go and see that kid being trounced so we can mock him properly later."

"Good, I’m in favor. That kid must be new here, really overestimating himself, even challenging Dean Lei."

Sister Li didn’t pay any attention to these people, turned off the computer and the big screen, and left the library.

She wanted to see if Lin Hao, when reduced to a whimpering dog, would still be as arrogant.

Seeing her leave, the students in the hall also flocked to the scene, following suit.

The Inner Couryard, aside from the three main buildings, also included special villas, the first floor of which were offices, and the second floor housed the residences of tutors.

The Inner Courtyard Dean Lei Qianxiao was also here.

Given that the Inner Courtyard is part of the school, the tasks received by students and the tutors’ offices were clearly visible.

At this moment, in the office, five tutors of the Inner Courtyard were staring at Lei Qianxiao’s computer.

An old man chuckled weirdly: "Dean Lei, hey, this kid just arrived at the school less than a day ago and he wants to challenge you. He’s got guts."

This elder was Du Shengfang, the very same one who had accepted Lin Hao and escorted him to the dormitory, known as Old Du.

"Students always want to test their strength, and this kid is only eighteen, a bit arrogant to be expected."

Next to Old Du, Lei Qianxiao, a middle-aged man with a square face, appeared no older than fifty years old, looking very amiable and calm, "I have looked at his information, he has caused quite a stir in the external courtyard."

"I know that too," said Gao Yulan, the only female tutor over forty, "People in the external courtyard call him the Cold Gentleman, quite an arrogant fellow."

The remaining two, also looking to be around sixty, chimed in.

"Dean Lei, you have to teach him a good lesson."

"Heh, Old Lu’s right, teach him well, although he has talent, such arrogance will get him in big trouble outside, and he must learn that people can be dangerous and deceitful."

"Teacher Yan, I think he’s pretty good, needs some mentoring, he could be a talent," Lei Qianxiao looked at the last person who spoke, then addressing everyone, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him."

Meanwhile.

Outside the villa, Su Mo was leading Lin Hao, having arrived here already.

"Lin Hao, look, why not just let it go?" Su Mo looked back at the students following him, making one last plea, "Dean Lei is nearly at the pinnacle of Grandmaster level, a strong expert that old Tang recruited from the military."

"It would be so embarrassing if you really lost."

"Don’t worry." Lin Hao glanced at him and then stepped forward into the villa’s gates.

As soon as he entered, Lei Qianxiao and four other instructors just happened to walk out of the office.

After Su Mo made the introductions, Lin Hao got a rough idea of their identities.

Without any further ado, he approached Lei Qianxiao and said, "Dean Lei, I’ve come to challenge you."

"Uh-huh, I know."

Dean Lei glanced at Su Mo behind Lin Hao, as well as the hundred or so students who came along, and smiled, "Lin student, I accept your challenge."

"But, you should be prepared for failure. I hope you won’t be disheartened after losing, and that you’ll continue to work hard."

"I will not lose," Lin Hao said calmly.

"Pfft, what nonsense are you spouting!" As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, loud taunting erupted from the crowd, "Not lose? You mean to defeat Dean Lei? Next time you brag, could you at least draft it first?"

"Ha-ha, does this kid really think he’s invincible?"

"I’ve heard about him, Lin Hao. He’s caused quite a stir outside the academy, but alas, this is the Inner Courtyard, not a place where every Tom, Dick, or Harry can act up."

"I know ’The Cold Gentleman’ too," Li Shuangyan had already inquired about Lin Hao on the way here and said with disdain, "Probably he will turn from a ’cold gentleman’ to a ’scalded scoundrel’ pretty soon. Our Dean Lei is a first-class master."

Su Mo hesitated, his expression odd; he simply did not believe that Lin Hao could be a match for Lei Qianxiao.

The other four instructors did not say anything demeaning, but their eyes clearly looked down on Lin Hao’s abilities.

"Ha-ha, good, I like your spirit," with the surrounding admiration, Dean Lei was clearly enjoying himself, but there wasn’t much change in his expression as he smiled, "We can’t compete here, follow me."

With that, he turned around and walked towards a spacious room on the first floor.

"Dean Lei, let’s fight here, we want to see you teach him a lesson."

"Yeah, Dean Lei, let’s have the match right here!"

Students were gloating, eager to see a spectacle, but Lei Qianxiao ignored them and walked straight into the room.

Lin Hao didn’t hesitate and followed him in.

"Lin Hao, I called you here to give you some dignity, but that’s the most I can do. I won’t hold back when I make my move," Lei Qianxiao said solemnly to Lin Hao in the room.

"It’s fine." Lin Hao recognized Lei Qianxiao’s strength at a glance—Grandmaster Seventh Layer Heaven. Indeed, having such strength at this age was very impressive in the Mortal World.

With Lin Hao’s current skills, he could barely have a battle with him.

If the Spiritual Artifact were added, Lin Hao could completely defeat him.

Originally, Lei Qianxiao intended to hold back, but seeing Lin Hao’s indifferent and proud demeanor, he felt this kid was too arrogant and should be taught a lesson, just as the other instructors had suggested.

Even, it was time to put a dent in his pride.

Therefore, he said, "This is an unfair fight. To make it a little more fair, I’ll allow you to use a weapon. What do you need, shall I go get it for you?"

Lin Hao’s eyebrows rose, his expression turning quite interesting.

Then, with a flick of his hand, as if by magic, something appeared in his palm: "I’ll use this."
