63: Chapter 63 Eating Textbooks
When he stepped onto the arena, his opponent was already waiting there.
The other party was a boy of similar age, wearing a dark green cape on his shoulders, signifying that he was a fourth-year student who controlled the plant element.
Even though the other party was not wearing the academy uniform, Lin Fan recognized him at a glance.
This boy was named Yang Xing, his classmate, and there was also a not-so-pleasant history between the two.
"Look, look! Lin Fan's opponent is Yang Xing!"
"Oh my god, Lin Fan is dead for sure now! Yang Xing's strength is second only to the goddess Su Linlin, and his only weakness is that the plant element cannot suppress the fire element."
"I bet in this match, Lin Fan will definitely be eliminated."
"Hahaha, that guy who said he would eat the textbook earlier, he doesn't have to eat it now, right?"
"Hey! Say less!"
Seeing that Lin Fan's opponent was Yang Xing.
The students immediately exploded into an uproar, and the discussion became even louder.
Yang Xing had a tall and straight figure, a handsome appearance, and a head of smooth, short green hair that complemented his elemental attribute.
The corners of his mouth curled into a mocking arc, and he looked at Lin Fan with disdain in his eyes.
"I really didn't expect it. I only gave you the cold shoulder for a while, and you, this piece of trash, have actually managed to make it this far? It seems you've been getting carried away lately."
Yang Xing smacked his lips, his tone full of disdain.
Lin Fan looked back at him with an expressionless face.
From the original owner's memories, he learned that when the two first enrolled, their relationship was actually not bad.
But ever since the original owner was identified as a magic failure, having learned magic for several months without any progress, Yang Xing gradually distanced himself from him.
He began to hang out with other honor students. A year later, it even intensified, and he colluded with others to bully the original owner.
They would often drag the original owner to a secluded corner to punch and kick him, or hide the original owner's textbooks and magic items, and even blatantly steal the original owner's pocket money.
"Another guy who needs to settle scores."
Lin Fan's eyes instantly turned cold.
However, in Yang Xing's view, this expression of his was nothing but a bluff.
"Hmm? What's with that expression? You look like you're trying to be fierce. What? Could it be that you still want to hit me?"
Yang Xing provoked him in a playful tone.
"Match start!"
Just at this moment, the Referee Teacher's voice rang out, and the match officially began.
The teacher's voice fell.
But Lin Fan and Yang Xing both stood in place without any movement.
Seeing this scene, the audience off the stage were all a bit confused.
Yang Xing was also a bit surprised.
He had originally thought that Lin Fan would take advantage of this opportunity to summon Star Points first, but he didn't expect the other party to just stand there, motionless.
"Oh? You won one match, and you really think you're something?"
"Standing still, are you looking down on me?"
"Since you don't cherish this opportunity, then don't blame me for not holding back!"
Yang Xing sneered.
Boom!
Majestic magic power suddenly erupted from within his body, and his cape and hair were whipped about by the strong wind.
Dazzling green Star Points appeared behind him.
The next second, they began to connect rapidly.
Only two seconds.
A huge green Star Pattern condensed and formed behind him, and the brilliant green light enveloped him completely.
"You're still not summoning Star Points? This is on you!"
Yang Xing saw Lin Fan still standing there like a wooden stake, and the mockery on his face grew even stronger.
He felt that Lin Fan was just too arrogant and had to be taught a lesson!
"Vine Summoning!"
Yang Xing violently swung both hands toward Lin Fan's direction and shouted sternly.
As his incantation fell.
The green Star Pattern behind him suddenly soared into the air, and its volume also surged several times over.
The next second...
Swish! Swish!
Two green vines, as thick as buckets, shot out violently from the Star Pattern, like two furious giant pythons, lunging toward Lin Fan.
The vines slithered across the ground, their speed astonishingly fast.
If it were an ordinary First-Order Mage, they would probably have been scared out of their wits by this sudden attack.
But for Lin Fan, who had long since promoted to a Tier 3 Mage.
These two vines were nothing but a petty trick.
Under Yang Xing's control, the vines rushed to Lin Fan's front in an instant and lashed out at him fiercely.
Lin Fan moved his feet unhurriedly, his body slightly to the side, barely dodging the vines' attack.
Only hearing a loud "Bang," the vines smashed fiercely onto the ground beside Lin Fan's feet, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lin Fan looked down at the vines beside his feet with an expressionless face, without stopping at all.
He stepped back, his body nimbly rotating at a ninety-degree angle, narrowly avoiding the second vine that struck from the side.
Whoosh!
The vine flew past the hem of his clothes, carving a sharp arc in mid-air, and only stopped after flying several meters away.
Everyone: "..."
Seeing this scene, all the students off the stage, including Yang Xing and the Referee Teacher, were stunned.
They looked at Lin Fan on the arena with disbelief.
"Yang Xing... actually missed? And missed twice in a row?!"
"How is this possible? How could his speed be so fast?!"
After a brief silence.
The students erupted into an uproar.
The situation on the arena fell into an eerie stalemate.
Yang Xing, Lin Fan, and even the Referee Teacher did not move again.
Yang Xing was completely dumbfounded.
His vine speed was not slow, and it was even a bit faster than the speed of most elemental spells.
Even he himself was not confident that he could dodge as easily as Lin Fan.
The Referee Teachers were also extremely surprised.
They had just been preparing to intervene at the last moment to save Lin Fan, but instead, they saw him lightly dodge the first vine's attack.
His dodging movements were smooth and flowing, without the slightest bit of hesitation, looking impossibly relaxed.
A moment later.
Yang Xing finally came back to his senses, and with a gloomy face, he began to control the vines again.
"Petty tricks! I just wasn't serious earlier, don't get too carried away!"
He shouted angrily and swung his hands violently.
The two vines immediately changed direction, attacking from left and right, closing in on Lin Fan and sealing off all his retreat paths.
The audience off the stage held their breath, staring intently at the movement on the arena.
In their eyes, these two vines, which were like the tails of giant pythons, would surely be able to tightly entangle Lin Fan this time.
However, just at the moment when the vines were about to touch Lin Fan.
He suddenly tapped the ground lightly with his toes, his body like a light swallow, leaping backward and soaring into the air.
Swish!
The two vines brushed against the soles of his shoes.
They smashed into each other fiercely, missing again.
"Wow!"
The entire arena erupted into a burst of exclamations.
That dodge Lin Fan just made was just too cool!
Yang Xing: "..."
Lin Fan landed steadily on the ground and looked at Yang Xing with a calm gaze.
