Lin Shen! The dream rival of all the boys in school!

The next day, early morning.

When the first ray of sunlight spilled through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows into the teaching building of Capital Martial Arts Academy.

The entire academy was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, a mix of excitement, awe, and tension.

Countless students gathered in groups of twos and threes, whispering and discussing animatedly.

And the center of all their topics was, without exception, directed at the same person.

Lin Yuan!

"Did you hear? In the league finals yesterday, that dark horse Ye Xuan was finally instakilled by Senior Lin Yuan in one move!"

"Damn! I heard too! It's said that at that time Ye Xuan used a Demonic Technique and was going to kill Goddess Gu Ningxue, but Senior Lin Yuan descended from the sky, and a single Sword Qi directly suppressed him! That scene was just like a god descending to earth!"

"So handsome! Really so handsome! What Realm is Senior Lin Yuan exactly? A casual Sword Qi could crush a Peak Marrow Cleansing Realm who burned his life? This must be at least a Huagang Realm, no, even a Qi Sea Realm big shot, right?"

"Who knows, Senior Lin Yuan's strength is simply not something we can speculate! He is a living legend!"

"Sigh, from today on, Goddess Gu Ningxue, I'm afraid there's no hope of chasing her. With Senior Lin Yuan as such a mountain in the way, we Mortals don't even have the qualification to be love rivals!"

...Among the discussions, it was full of shock and worship for Lin Yuan's unfathomable strength.

Just then.

A lazy figure, yawning, slowly walked over from a distance.

It was Lin Yuan.

As soon as he appeared, the noisy discussions around him came to an abrupt halt!

Everyone's eyes swished and converged on him!

In those looks, there was awe, curiosity, worship, and even a trace of Fear!

It was as if what they saw was not a senior of the same age, but a deity walking in the human world!

However, for these looks that were enough to make any young person float with pride, Lin Yuan seemed to not feel them at all.

He didn't even have an extra expression.

Still that sleepy, lazy appearance, looking straight ahead, he walked directly into his classroom.

Then, in the almost frozen breathing of the entire class.

Familiarly, he walked to the corner of the last row of the classroom.

Pulled out the chair.

Lay down.

Slept.

The whole movement was smooth and seamless, as if it had been practiced thousands of times.

The whole classroom was dead silent.

All the students didn't dare to breathe heavily, each sitting upright, and even the movement of turning pages was subconsciously lightened a lot.

A few minutes later, the class bell rang.

A middle-aged male teacher with a "Mediterranean" hairstyle and gold-rimmed glasses walked into the classroom with his lesson plans.

He habitually cleared his throat, preparing to start the lecture.

But his gaze accidentally swept over the figure sleeping soundly in the corner.

The teacher's body suddenly stiffened!

On his forehead, a layer of fine cold sweat instantly broke out.

He certainly knew what happened yesterday!

What a joke!

This was a lord that even the Chief Referee of the Martial Arts Alliance had to treat with respect!

Forget about sleeping in his class, even if this lord tore down the classroom now, he wouldn't dare to utter a word!

In an instant, this experienced old teacher had countless thoughts flash through his mind.

Should he pretend not to see?

Or... Finally, he swallowed hard and gave a smile that looked worse than crying to the whole class.

"Cough cough... that... well... students, today we... we'll have self-study!"

After saying that, he fled and slipped out of the classroom.

The entire class fell into an eerie silence again.

All the students looked at the figure in the corner with eyes as if they were looking at a god.

Awesome!

So damn awesome!

A man of few words, sleeping until the teacher proactively dismissed the class!

...Slept until he woke up naturally.

Lin Yuan stretched, and under the awe-filled gazes of his classmates, he leisurely walked out of the classroom.

He was going to the old place in the back garden to continue his great cause of afternoon napping.

However, just as he reached the garden entrance, a beautiful figure blocked his way.

It was Gu Ningxue.

Today, she had changed out of her heroic martial arts uniform and put on a simple white dress, losing a bit of coldness and adding a bit of a young girl's softness.

"That..."

Gu Ningxue stood in front of him, seemingly a bit nervous, her fair fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes.

"I heard... Ye Xuan, he dropped out."

"Oh."

Lin Yuan's reaction was as flat as listening to a weather forecast.

He bypassed Gu Ningxue and prepared to continue walking inside.

"Wait a minute!"

Gu Ningxue hurriedly blocked him again, she plucked up her courage and asked: "Don't you care at all about where he went? A person like him seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. Having suffered such a big loss this time, he definitely won't let it go!"

"Care?"

Lin Yuan finally stopped his pace, he turned his head and looked at Gu Ningxue with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

"An ant that I stepped on disappeared from my sight. Why should I care which trash heap it crawled to?"

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Gu Ningxue, who was stunned on the spot, and walked straight to the familiar lounge chair deep in the garden and lay down comfortably.

The sun was just right, the breeze was not dry.

It was a good time for sleeping.

As for where Ye Xuan went, what reaction the Huangfu Family would have, and that whatever upcoming beast tide... even if it's a huge matter, it has to wait until this Young Lord wakes up.

After all, lying flat is the first priority of life!

Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes... Huangfu Family, meeting hall.

"Smash—!"

A priceless antique blue and white porcelain vase was slammed onto the ground, instantly shattering into pieces!

"Useless! A complete and utter waste!"

Huangfu Zhuo's face was ashen, his chest heaving violently, his handsome face looking somewhat distorted because of extreme Rage.

"How many resources did my Huangfu Family invest in him? Even the Thousand-Year Fire Lingzhi was given to him! And the result? Not only did he fail to get the championship, but he also turned himself into a cripple using a forbidden technique!"

"And in front of the national audience, he was stepped on by that Lin Yuan like a dead dog! My Huangfu Family's face has been completely lost by this waste!"

Below the hall, a group of core members of the Huangfu Family were all as quiet as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly.

They all knew that this plan had completely failed.

Ye Xuan, this chess piece they had carefully selected.

Not only did he fail to become a sharp blade stabbing at Lin Yuan and the Gu Family, but he instead became a huge joke, making the Huangfu Family a laughingstock for the entire Yan Capital's upper-class circles.

Going for the wool and coming home shorn!

"Young Lord, saying these things now is of no help."

An old man with white hair and beard spoke in a deep voice.

He was the only one present who dared to speak when Huangfu Zhuo was in a Rage, the Chief Consecrated of the Huangfu Family, a ninth-level Huagang Realm expert, Uncle Chen.

"That Ye Xuan is already a discarded piece, not worth worrying about. The most critical problem now is Lin Yuan!"

Mentioning this name, Huangfu Zhuo's pupils shrank suddenly, and a deep trace of wariness flashed across his face.

The scene of that man lying on the chair, making him kneel and spit blood with a single action, is still his nightmare.

"That guy... what exactly does he want to do?"

Huangfu Zhuo said through gritted teeth: "He clearly has the strength to crush everything, so why does he still hide behind the scenes? He crippled Ye Xuan, was it to maintain that so-called 'rule', or... is he deliberately targeting our Huangfu Family?"

"Hard to say."

Uncle Chen shook his head, his old face full of solemnity.

"This Lin Yuan acts completely against common sense, making it impossible to see through him. However, one thing is for sure, since he took action, it means he already knows the relationship between Ye Xuan and us."

"This is a warning! A blatant warning!"

"Are we just going to let it go like this?!"

Huangfu Zhuo roared unwillingly.

"Of course we can't just let it go like this!"

A cold, dark glint flashed in Uncle Chen's eyes.

"In a head-on conflict, we are not his match. But that doesn't mean we have no other way."

He slowly said: "Young Lord, have you forgotten? Not long from now, it will be the annual... Wasteland Hunt."

"Wasteland Hunt?"

Huangfu Zhuo was stunned at first.

Then, as if he had thought of something, his face instantly showed a look of realization, which then became extremely sinister.

"I understand..."

"Uncle Chen, you want to..."

"Exactly."

"On the wasteland, Yao Beasts run rampant and dangers lurk everywhere. Every year, many Geniuses 'accidentally' die inside. At that time, as long as we plan properly..."

"Even if Lin Yuan has a heaven-defying background, if he dies under the claws of a Yao Beast, who can say anything?"
