    The enthusiasm that the professor showed was bizarre by Lin Sheng’s standards.


    He could faintly tell that Auldmandiller’s attitude was slightly overboard, and he also noticed thetter had used a new word.


    “A Darkheart? What is that, sir? Does that refer to those with exceptional talents?” Lin Sheng asked.


    “When a person awakens with dark powers over the value of two hundred, all of these geniuses have a name, the Darkhearts. The Darkhearts and your run-of-the-mill Darksiders are on two totally different levels.”


    A trace ofplicated envy shed through Auldmandiller’s face.


    “In all, don’t you worry, I’ll do my best to guide and nurture you! You surely won’t be disappointed!” he said as he patted his chest.


    There were fourteen Crown Academies ran by Carte nche and Baine University was a middling academy, or else they would not have needed to ept foreign students in exchange for fees.


    Auldmandiller knew very well that if Lin Sheng’s identity as a Darkheart was leaked out, many other more powerful professors would start to extend their olive branches to lure him away.


    The advantages and benefits that they would be able to offer were far beyond his, and they could provide Lin Sheng with resources and statuses far beyond his own ability. And they would also be able to provide him a stronger and even better-rounded teaching and guidance tform.


    So, to keep Lin Sheng and his first disciple, he did not see himself as a teacher or a professor.


    He had inherited his grandfather’s Soul Fortress as a normal Darksider. It had been eighty years since, and for eighty years, he worked himself to the bone to barely keep the Soul Fortress running normally.


    The difference between a Darkheart and a normal Darksider was heaven and earth.


    His grandfather was a Darkheart, and could easily maintain the operation of the Soul Fortress. For him, it was as if the ce was a rust bucket. Every movement took everything he had. And Auldmandiller was exhausted.


    He had once ced his hope on his progeny, but when his son was born, his aptitude was not even close to his own. When his granddaughter was born, she was just a little stronger than him. So until now, he had totally given into despair.


    In order to not let the Soul Fortress workshop die in his hand, he finally decided to ce his hopes on his disciple.


    However, a natural genius like a Darkheart would normally not stay in Baine University and would mostly choose to move on to the top ten schools. So, in order to keep such a genius there, he was prepared to pay the price.


    Lin Sheng did not know what Auldmandiller was thinking, as he had also noticed that his aptitude was beyond his own expectations.


    However, he had no ns to change his school. Perhaps he could go further in his dark powers if he chose a top-ranking university. But he did not want to risk going into too dangerous an environment. For a middling university like Baine, it fit the bill just nice as he could stille into contact with the top level of the dark powers without it being too risky.


    So he decided to seriously learn what he could, and decideter.


    No matter where he went, he was here to learn about the dark powers, and he would leave sooner orter.


    After another round of enthusiastic exnation, Auldmandiller gave Lin Sheng an identity card made out of ck crystal, and only left after bringing thetter to the room he had chosen.


    Lin Sheng had indeed agreed to live inside the fortress.


    Since he barely had anything to pack up back in school, so he just decided to stay the night.


    And it was a dreamless night.


    Due to his recent changing of amodation, the dream was a blur. But Lin Sheng was not in a rush as he needed to focus on learning how to use his dark powers.


    He could feel that both dark and sacred powers were of the same source, and they could affect each other.


    The next morning. Lin Sheng woke up sharp at eight.


    The room that he had chosen was inordinatelyvish, and therge feather down bed was at least three meters wide, six meters long. And the room was at least the size of a small basketball court.


    On the side of the wall was filled with bookracks and cupboards.


    On the bookracks were all sorts of collections and decorations. Inside the cupboard was all kinds of clothing. He had no idea when it was prepared.


    The wall of the room was pure gray, and the floor and the ceiling were made out of tiles of yellow crystal that let out a faint, gentle glow.


    When hey on the bed, the light would automatically dim and disappear as the windows would appear on the wall automatically, letting fresh air in.


    “Oh... this ce is pretty decent.” Lin Sheng sat on the bed as he massaged his neck, his body felt good.


    The bed was not just a simple bed, there were faint fluctuations of dark powers in it, and it was clearly working.


    That was the best sleep Lin Sheng had gotten in a long while. From Xilin to Xylond, to Miga, he had never felt that sleeping was such a wonderful thing.


    As he got down from the bed, he walked to the shirt rack and grabbed his clothes.


    “Hmm? It’s washed and ironed?” The texture and fragrance of the shirt astonished Lin Sheng. He had no idea when the clothes were washed and ironed.


    Upon grabbing the shirt and putting it on, while it was just a simple light blue shirt and brown cks, it still gave out a rather branded feel after some ironing.


    Pushing the door open, Lin Sheng followed the grey-carpeted corridor towards the ssroom zone at the back of the fortress.


    That was the ce the professor had mentioned, where ss and work takes ce.


    As he got close, Lin Sheng could hear faint sounds of crying and yelling.


    The train-carriage-like corridor soon reached its end as Lin Sheng arrived at a circr sky well.


    From his position, the sky well’s entrance was just at the edge.


    In the middle of the sky well was a translucent ss dome, and within each dome were two students who were hard at work trying to operate the various test tubes loaded bubbling with all sorts of glowing liquid.


    Professor Auldmandiller held a training cane as hended a heavy hit on a female student with twin pigtails. Vicious wounds were seen on the student’s hands and face, and one of her eyes was swollen.


    On the ground rolled a green test tube as a faint silver liquid flowed out from the mouth of the tube onto the ground.


    Lin Sheng looked around and saw Mylissa in one of the ss domes.


    She was operating instruments alongside a tall girl with a mole on her nose, seemingly in the middle of producing something.


    Auldmandiller yelled for a while more until he saw Lin Shenging over as anger gave way to a genial smile as he made his way over.


    “Why didn’t you sleep a little longer? This is your first day, you don’t have toe ording to schedule. You should rest up.


    “I have purposely turned off the morning rm to not wake you up. I never thought you’d wake up this early though.”


    “Sir, I only wanted to learn more about the mysteries of dark powers as soon as I can,” Lin Sheng responded with respect.


    As he spoke, he saw Mylissa and the rest looking over.


    The students were just mere apprentices and not disciples of Auldmandiller. There were eight of them in total, and the oldest looked almost fifty, while the youngest was Mylissa and another boy in his mid-teens.


    All of them had very heavy eye bags and had clearly not rested enough.
