The simp has awakened? No, he's evolved into a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Lin Yuan actually told Li Xuan'er to... get lost???
The voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet Cultivate room, it clearly reached everyone's ears.
The whole room instantly fell into a dead silence.
All the students widened their eyes, doubting if they had heard correctly.
The sweet smile on Li Xuan'er's face also froze instantly; she looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief.
That word again!
He actually told her to get lost in front of the whole class?
"Lin Yuan! You!"
Li Xuan'er's cheeks instantly turned bright red, a mix of shame and anger.
Only then did Lin Yuan lazily sit up straight.
His gaze swept across the students watching the spectacle, then fell back on Li Xuan'er, his voice suddenly rising a few notches.
"Everyone, let me tell you a joke."
"Yesterday, this same Great School Beauty Li inexplicably ran to my house and demanded three Yellow Grade High Grade Qi Gathering Medicinal Pills."
"What? After being scolded away by me yesterday, you still have the face to come to school today and ask for the Ice Soul Orchid?"
"Li Xuan'er, is your skin made of city walls? Or do you think I, Lin Yuan, am a fool who comes and goes at your beck and call?"
"Treating me as your ATM and using my resources to support that Little White Face Ye Xuan—did you really think I didn't know?"
Boom!
Lin Yuan's words were like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding throughout the classroom!
Everyone was stunned by this explosive news!
So that actually happened yesterday?
And Lin Yuan actually... knew everything?!
Li Xuan'er was even more struck like by lightning, her face instantly turning deathly pale.
She hadn't expected Lin Yuan to expose the matter in public, and to speak so bluntly without leaving any shred of dignity!
"I... I didn't!"
She instinctively wanted to defend herself.
"Shut up!"
Lin Yuan suddenly gave a low shout, and a terrifyingly peerless pressure abruptly erupted from his body!
The Aura of the Peak Ninth Level of Marrow Cleansing Realm.
Mixed with a hint of the thunderous will from the Nine Heavens Thunder Emperor Scripture, it turned into tangible pressure and slammed hard into Li Xuan'er!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Li Xuan'er felt as if an invisible mountain had crashed into her chest.
Her blood and Qi churned, and she was shaken back seven or eight steps, finally falling onto the ground in a pathetic heap with a thud.
She looked at Lin Yuan with a face full of horror, her eyes filled with Fear and disbelief.
Such... such a strong pressure!
This power was ten times more terrifying than what she had felt in the villa yesterday!
The whole class was even more frightened into silence by this sudden scene, each one dumbfounded.
"My god... this Aura... Lin Yuan... what is he trying to do?"
"He actually dares to get angry at Li Xuan'er?"
"The simp... has Awakened? No, he has evolved into a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
The sound of discussion exploded again.
But this time, no one dared to mock Lin Yuan anymore; the gazes looking at him were filled with awe and shock.
Under the gaze of countless strange looks, Li Xuan'er felt utterly humiliated.
She scrambled up from the ground, gave Lin Yuan a venomous glare, and ran out of the Cultivate room crying.
As for Lin Yuan, he acted as if he had done something insignificant, leaned back against the wall, yawned, and closed his eyes.
Continuing to sleep... The incident of Lin Yuan publicly slapping Li Xuan'er's face and revealing his suspected terrifying strength of the Ninth Level of Marrow Cleansing Realm was like a typhoon.
Within just half a day, it swept through the entire Dragon Summer Country Capital Martial Arts Academy.
The Number One Simp who used to be completely submissive to Li Xuan'er had actually undergone a drastic change in personality, transforming into a cold-faced Incarnation of slaughter; this huge contrast gave everyone plenty to talk about.
On the campus forums and various small groups, the heat of the discussion directly went off the charts.
"Extra! Extra! Young Master Lin has Awakened, and the green tea School Beauty suffered a social death on the spot!"
"I was there at the time, that Aura was too terrifying! Li Xuan'er was directly shaken to the ground and ran away crying!"
"So, it's not that Lin Yuan wasn't strong before, but that he put his mind in the wrong place!"
"Even a pig could fly to the sky if you piled up the Lin Family's resources, right?"
"That's right, after simping for so many years and getting nothing, he finally woke up. If he ate those Medicinal Pills he used to feed Li Xuan'er himself, could he not have some improvement? I think he's just a simple simp Awakening, nothing major."
This kind of rhetoric quickly became the mainstream view.
After all, how could a person's nature be changed just like that?
In the eyes of most people, Lin Yuan was still that spoiled playboy who was useless except for his Family background.
Lin Yuan didn't care at all about the rumors outside.
His former lackeys who used to revolve around him found that this Young Master's life had recently become frighteningly regular.
He was either sleeping in the classroom, sunbathing on the garden lawn, or dazing off on a sofa in the library.
In short, it was one word—
Lying flat.
Yet, the faint but powerful Aura on him became more and more startling day by day... During a break, under a century-old tree in the academy's back garden.
Lin Yuan pillowed his head on his arms, lying on the soft grass with a grass stalk in his mouth, eyes closed to rest and enjoy the System's auto-grinding service.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a crisp and pleasant female voice with a hint of teasing rang out above his head.
"Oh, isn't this our Young Master Lin who is famous throughout the academy? Your life is quite elegant, isn't it!"
Lin Yuan lazily opened one eye and looked up.
What came into view was a pair of straight and slender beautiful legs, wrapped in fashionable jeans, outlining amazing curves.
Moving his gaze upward, he saw a tall and graceful, curvaceous stunning beauty.
She had chestnut wavy hair, and her features were bright and moving, with a bit of heroism and confidence.
Completely different from Li Xuan'er's pure white lotus type, hers was an extremely aggressive beauty.
Gu Ningxue.
This name surfaced in Lin Yuan's mind.
The Young Miss of the Gu Family; although her Family background couldn't compare to the Lin Family, they were still considered a first-class wealthy Family in Dragon Xia Kingdom.
In the original work, she was also one of the female leads.
Currently, she had a Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level cultivation.
She was also a top-tier Prodigy!
In the early stages, due to Family relations, she had some interactions with the original body.
But as the original body went further and further down the path of a simp and a villain, the two gradually drifted apart.
Later, Ye Xuan rose to power.
After helping the Gu Family and Gu Ningxue in several adventures, she naturally became a member of Ye Xuan's harem.
But now, none of this had happened yet.
"Indeed," Lin Yuan closed his eyes again and replied lazily, "On such a fine day, if I don't take a nap, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Gu Ningxue sat down beside him with great interest, and a pleasant scent of perfume wafted over.
She rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes turning as she smiled mischievously: "What? Not going to follow your Goddess Xuaner around today? I heard you almost made her cry."
Lin Yuan didn't even bother to move his eyelids; he just shifted the grass stalk in his mouth to the other side.
"Goddess? Don't joke. She's not worthy; 'Goddess-level psycho' is more like it."
His tone was as flat as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"Oh?"
A flash of surprise crossed Gu Ningxue's beautiful eyes.
"She's not worthy?" These words coming from the mouth of the former Lin Yuan, who had treated Li Xuan'er like a deity, had a massive impact.
"You didn't use to say that," Gu Ningxue asked tentatively. "Back then, if anyone said one bad thing about Li Xuan'er, you were ready to fight them to the death."
"People always change," Lin Yuan's voice carried no emotion. "After being a simp for a long time, one gets tired. Besides, when facing a block of ice that won't melt no matter how warm your heart is, continuing to persist isn't being deep; it's being stupid."
After saying that, he stopped speaking, as if he had really fallen asleep.
Gu Ningxue, however, was stunned.
She stared fixedly at Lin Yuan's profile.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled onto him, forming mottled shadows.
He was clearly talking about something very sad, yet his tone was frighteningly calm, as if he were telling someone else's story.
This almost cold logic and detachment were a world away from the impulsive, obsessive simp image she remembered.
She was lost in thought.
She suddenly felt that the Lin Yuan lying on the grass "Rotting" before her eyes seemed much more interesting than the one who used to chase after someone else's heels.
