DHMB - Chapter 40
Chapter 40
A strange silence returned to the arena.
Ye Sa hugged the big tree, unsure what to say, and Kai Yun also took the opportunity to zone out. The cameras became flustered, not knowing who to focus on.
Fortunately, the audience wasn't concerned with broadcasting technicalities right now; the comment section was in an uproar. Kai Yun's single sentence about immunity had stirred up a huge storm.
"Why do I feel like she's just messing with Ye Sa?"
"Rare Energy Immunity? Is that right? Can you really be immune to that? Doesn't having internal energy mean you can sense and drive it?"
"Qin Linshan? Is he her master? What kind of crazy person is he? How could he say that!"
"Judging by the tone, some people don't even know who Qin Linshan is? He said learn it if you like it, what's wrong with that? Kai Yun is from Rebuilt Barren Star, does she wait for death if she doesn't learn martial arts there? At least she's stronger than you now."
"Brother Ye is truly Brother Ye, still so calm."
"It's such a shame. With Kai Yun's profound internal energy, if she could use high-level weapons, oh my god, she could be unstoppable! Splitting mountains and cleaving seas would be nothing!"
"Suddenly feel a sense of listless exhaustion. Is it a genetic mutation caused by living on Rebuilt Barren Star for so long? Then who would dare go there?"
"But her share of the profits from this tournament is already more than many people earn in a lifetime. If she had advertised this gimmick at the start, she might have earned hundreds of millions. If I were her, I'd learn it too, but unfortunately, I'm not immune."
"That reminds me, I should give a reward. For Kai Yun. The little girl has it tough."
The commentator specifically seized on the name, emphasizing it: "The two just mentioned Qin Linshan, seeming quite familiar with him. We don't know what their relationship is. Speaking of which, Qin Linshan also graduated from the Alliance Military University back then, so there is indeed a connection between the three. However, from what I know, Kai Yun's moves and combat style are not like Qin Linshan's. Qin Linshan is a legendary figure, a knight-errant skilled in defense and counter-attacks!"
Mainly, among the long-time fans of the tournament, probably no one wouldn't know that name.
The commentator continued: "I just checked Kai Yun's profile. Rare Energy Immunity seems to have been hidden as classified information. I believe everyone is shocked, and also feels regret. Kai Yun's current excellence is inseparable from her past efforts, but fate has built a concrete wall outside her house, stifling her growth! She might not yet realize the impact of high-level weapons on personal combat power. I hope she has good luck in the future and can continue to maintain her optimism today!"
Sanyao saw the explosive point and quickly sent various data to the commentator.
Although the arena had fallen into a cold stalemate with scattered battles and no highlights, this year's Alliance Military Academy Tournament had reached its climax!
Whether it was Lu Que's overwhelming suppression, Qin Linshan's sudden appearance, or the regrettable genius with Rare Energy Immunity, all could serve as tomorrow's front-page headlines for extensive promotion.
The three combined were like diamonds suddenly falling from the sky, causing pain that led to extreme pleasure.
The commentator excitedly announced: "Just received news! Lu Que's internal energy cultivation method was taught to him by Senior Qin Linshan! It seems Kai Yun introduced this semi-retired expert to him, which also indicates that Kai Yun has a deep relationship with Mr. Qin!"
Not deep at all, they had only met a few times.
Qin Linshan sighed, losing the mood to watch the match.
What was this feeling? More melancholic than a breakup, more powerless than insomnia, more... than a man being impotent... well, he hadn't experienced that last one yet.
Anyway, he had absolutely no motivation left in his heart.
What was that old scoundrel Tang Hua doing? He ran off and left behind a mess of rotten melons.
Taking the blame was secondary; what pained him was not knowing how to treat Kai Yun in the future.
Qin Linshan's fingers drooped dejectedly as he typed a line into Sanyao's forum interface: "Treatment for Rare Energy Immunity."
Even on Sanyao's forum, which was full of oddities, no one had ever asked such a question.
So he created one himself.
Soon, someone replied below:
"Reincarnate?"
"How is that possible? Don't waste forum resources, okay?"
"Is the OP sick?"
"Don't ask, just assume it's a terminal illness."
Qin Linshan felt foolish for asking for a diagnosis on a forum. So he created a new post.
#If someone has Rare Energy Immunity, would you still teach them martial arts? Where is the ceiling? How do you teach them?#
The netizens below commented angrily:
"Are you crazy? Can't you do something better? Are you forcing the child to seek death in the future?"
"Definitely looking for an excuse for domestic violence, reported."
"As a hobby, yes, but not as a profession. And the Rescue Army, while glorious, is also very dangerous. There are so many options in the Alliance now, a civilian job is also very good."
"Why is everyone above so sincere? The premise isn't even possible."
Qin Linshan sighed.
That was true. Since Rare Energy was discovered, no one had ever heard of anyone being immune to it.
He had been too excited back then and forgot to ask why Kai Yun was rejected by the Alliance Military University.
What could he do now? His newly settled 'dad heart' really couldn't take it.
Qin Linshan clicked refresh and saw countless people flooding into the forum. Dozens of new posts related to Kai Yun appeared on the homepage within seconds.
#Kai Yun Rare Energy Immunity#
#Someone in the world is actually immune to high-level weapons!#
#World's unsolved mystery suddenly solved! Alliance Military University wronged, their reason for rejecting Kai Yun is sufficient!#
#I always thought Lao Lei was a simpleton, but today I realized Kai Yun and her master are too.#
#Finally, a female knight-errant appeared, but she died before she could take off. How harsh is the martial arts world towards women?#
#Stopping at the preliminary round is certain! Pity the contestants eliminated by Kai Yun!#
Qin Linshan suddenly became furious.
How did a bunch of people who looked down on her appear? Especially under the post saying the Alliance Military University rejected her, a group of people regretfully agreed. Agreed on what? Making it sound like Kai Yun was unwanted!
Rare Energy Immunity is amazing, okay? She's the only one throughout history; she's someone who should be written into textbooks!
Qin Linshan couldn't stand seeing his child bullied. His melancholy vanished, he rolled up his sleeves, and just as he was about to jump into the fray, the wind chime hanging on the pub door jingled, and the pub owner shouted loudly:
"Lao Qin, someone's looking for you!"
Qin Linshan looked up and saw people from the Alliance Military University had arrived.
He immediately put on a stern face, stuck a cigarette in his mouth, leaned back in his chair, and adopted a cool, aloof demeanor to greet them.
There were three of them: a coach, a lawyer, and a financial officer.
In fact, the Alliance Military University wanted to send a whole team of strategists, fearing Qin Linshan would be difficult. But they were even more afraid of being impolite and offending this true deity, so they only sent three people.
The lawyer handed over his business card with both hands, smiling respectfully: "Hello, we are from the Alliance Military University..."
Qin Linshan wiped his face and interrupted him: "Cut the nonsense, you can buy it. Sit down first."
The three sat down properly opposite him.
The financial officer took out his optical computer: "Then, what is your asking price?"
Qin Linshan, with the cigarette dangling from his mouth, looked out the glass window and said: "I don't want money."
The coach opposite gasped.
This wasn't logical!
The financial officer also gasped.
The wicked capitalists had told him that the free things were the most expensive!
Qin Linshan then brought up a screen on his optical computer, pointed at the figure on it, and said forcefully: "I want you to recruit her for me! With widespread publicity, the kind that shows you're eager for talent! Show the same enthusiasm you would for the Alliance's top expert. You don't need to carry her in on an eight-bearer sedan chair, but you should have the grandeur of fireworks and firecrackers!"
The three leaned their heads closer and saw the person on the screen. They immediately exchanged glances.
The coach whispered: "I saw the trending news on the way here. Is that the student from Rebuilt Barren Star? Mr. Qin, what is your relationship with her?"
Qin Linshan narrowed his eyes and said: "My daughter."
The three were startled.
Qin Linshan added: "Future."
The three: "..."
Why was there a tense involved?
"Ah..." Qin Linshan sighed leisurely, "She is the disciple of my comrade-in-arms. My brother is no longer here, and I cannot stand by and watch her suffer injustice and be looked down upon by netizens."
The three immediately understood.
For Rescue Army members like Qin Linshan, who walked the line between life and death, those who could be called comrades-in-arms were like family, people they could entrust their lives to. The unspoken rule in the industry was that after a teammate sacrificed themselves, the survivors should take care of the deceased's family.
Rounding up, she could be considered his daughter.
The coach hesitated and said: "But, our school doesn't have coaches or courses specifically for her. We're afraid of misleading her."
Qin Linshan said: "She might not even want to go to your school!"
The three were confused.
Financial Officer: "Then... what did you mean just now?"
"Whether she goes or not is her business, whether you recruit her or not is your business, but the choice must be hers!" Qin Linshan emphasized, "Must! Be!"
Qin Linshan said: "I want her to be extremely popular, to feel the care of this society!"
What he could give her must not be less than what Tang Hua gave her!
The three nodded blankly.
Qin Linshan spat out the cigarette butt that was hindering his performance and said: "I know you are professional in evaluating this matter. Regarding this match, please provide me with a precise, high-level 'rainbow fart' report. It must not let the netizens or Kai Yun see any flaws."
Flatter! Flatter her hard!
Qin Linshan asked: "I want to see it tomorrow, can you do that?"
"If the cultivation method is free..." The coach, who had finally caught on, was also excited and vowed: "We can have it tonight!"
Qin Linshan shook his hand.
"Good!" Qin Linshan said busily, "Gentlemen, please take your time leaving. I need to contact the other military academies first."
Thank you for the mass release!!
