60: Chapter 60 Entering the Dense Forest, First Slaying the Wolf Pack

Lin Yuan didn't react much to Mu Qianqian's little thoughts, remaining composed.

For Lin Yuan, even if all these people targeted him, it wouldn't cause him much trouble.

At worst, he would just have to beat some people into submission, and the others naturally wouldn't dare to bother him again.

Seeing Lin Yuan remain calm and collected under everyone's unfriendly gazes, Mu Qianqian felt extremely displeased.

"Just keep pretending. You won't be so calm when you're surrounded and attacked later. Heh heh—Dare to tease me? I'll make you suffer a bit! Hmph hmph!"

"Alright, time is almost up. We're preparing to begin. This time, everyone will be entering a Void Rift. Be cautious. If you are unable to cope, shout 'Give up' immediately, and Dean Yuan will transfer you out. Okay, let's start!"

As Mu Qianqian gave the order, Vice Dean Yuan, who stood behind her, immediately walked out.

He brought his fingers together over his chest, his eyes suddenly snapping open, and two balls of silver light erupted from his pupils. As the light swirled, his fingers also lit up with silver radiance.

"Open!"

Vice Dean Yuan suddenly stepped forward and lightly swiped his fingers through the air, accompanied by a tearing sound.

In the void to the side of the plaza, a massive portal suddenly materialized as if tearing space itself. Silver light flooded the plaza, blinding everyone.

"Everyone, enter the portal immediately! The test begins!"

Mu Qianqian shouted, and all the students rushed toward the portal upon hearing her. Lin Yuan naturally took the lead, his steps interweaving as he darted into the portal.

A familiar dizzying sensation washed over him. When Lin Yuan set foot on solid ground, he found himself in a dense forest.

It was also morning here. Warm sunlight filtered through the leaves of the trees, casting shadows on the ground, creating a feeling of warmth and comfort.

The scenery here was quite nice. If this were his previous life, it would definitely be very photogenic...

However, the moment Lin Yuan arrived, he immediately frowned. He sensed the fierce aura of vicious beasts coming from all directions, along with the stench of rotting flesh.

"It seems there are quite a few vicious beasts in this Void Rift. It shouldn't be comparable to the ones opened to the public before."

Thinking this, a surge of excitement welled up in Lin Yuan's heart. A large number of ability points were beckoning him.

Just then, light and shadow flickered in the woods, and vicious beasts could vaguely be seen lurking around.

"It seems you've sensed my presence. Very good, then let me have a satisfying slaughter."

Lin Yuan slowly drew his swimming dragon sword, and a faint sound of a dragon's roar immediately echoed out. The vicious beasts nearby sensed the sound, and their fierce aura intensified, with a few even letting out roars.

The vicious beasts stopped hiding and exposed themselves directly, pressing toward Lin Yuan.

"A wolf pack? Heh heh—I'm quite lucky. A whole wave of ability points delivered right to my doorstep. Come on then!"

Lin Yuan wielded his swimming dragon sword, creating golden sword blossoms. His steps interwove, and the Star Scar Nine Steps movement technique flowed out naturally. With a flash of golden light, Lin Yuan took the initiative to attack!

Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!

The wolf pack was enraged by Lin Yuan's preemptive strike. A tiny human daring to attack proactively against such a large wolf pack was simply courting death.

Over twenty giant wolf-shaped vicious beasts immediately had their eyes turn red and charged toward Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's movement technique was incomparably profound; the wolf pack couldn't hinder him in the slightest. He moved like a butterfly flying into a thicket of flowers, dancing gracefully among the blossoms.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, more than a dozen second-tier early-stage wolf-shaped vicious beasts were already lying on the ground—some dismembered, others with their bellies ripped open, emitting a thick, pungent smell of blood that shot toward the sky.

The surrounding trees were spattered with blood, making the scene as gruesome and bloody as a slaughterhouse.

The remaining dozen or so giant wolves had already lost the courage to fight and were scrambling to escape.

But how could Lin Yuan let these ability points slip away? He transformed into a golden stream of light, flashing through the dense forest. After a dozen breaths, there were another dozen vicious beast corpses on the ground.

Over twenty milky-white soul bodies floated out. Lin Yuan immediately began absorbing them. The soul bodies turned into milky-white currents of air, which Lin Yuan completely devoured, and a feeling of refreshment immediately surfaced.

The system panel instantly gained 12,000 ability points. Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. After a long time, he could finally acquire ability points crazily again.

"Old Chu, see where there's a beast group," Lin Yuan said to Chu Yunfeng.

"Southeast direction, one kilometer away, fifteen Vine Snakes, second-tier mid-stage," Chu Yunfeng replied calmly.

"Got it!"

Clang!

The swimming dragon sword was sheathed, and Lin Yuan instantly unfolded his movement technique, shooting toward the southeast.

At this moment, outside the field, Mu Qianqian, Vice Dean Yuan, and all the homeroom teachers were staring at more than a dozen monitoring screens.

"Bring up Lin Yuan's feed," Mu Qianqian instructed the teacher in charge of monitoring.

"Yes, Dean Mu."

Subsequently, Lin Yuan's image appeared on one screen, while the other screens displayed rankings.

"Why does Dean Mu place so much importance on this New Student named Lin Yuan, even letting him participate in the second-year graduation test? Isn't that overestimating him?" one teacher whispered.

"I heard he is the national top scholar and is very strong. Dean Mu probably considers him a genius and wants to test his strength."

"Heh heh—I've taught two national top scholars before, but for one who hasn't even enrolled yet to be able to contend with second-year graduates is purely a fantasy."

"We don't know then. Let's just wait and see how much of a genius this Lin Yuan is."

Several teachers were discussing animatedly. While they said they would wait and see, in their hearts, they didn't take Lin Yuan seriously at all, chalking it up to Dean Mu being willful...

But the next second, Lin Yuan, holding his golden long sword, killed his way into the vicious beast group like a phantom. Blood splattered wildly, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

All the teachers were dumbfounded, especially the few who had just been discussing. Their eyes were wide open, and their mouths hung agape.

"Holy cow! So monstrous! That's a second-tier early-stage beast group! How can a New Student kill them so easily?"

"Too terrifying! How old is he? Even the national top scholar shouldn't be this monstrous..."

"It seems Dean Mu's judgment is sharp after all. Lin Yuan's strength is probably already second-tier mid-stage, right? He's truly an unprecedented genius!"

Hearing the surrounding teachers' discussions, Mu Qianqian's lips curved upward, and her gaze softened slightly.

"Not bad, only second-tier early-stage. His strength has actually reached second-tier peak. The only ones here who can threaten him are those two boys."

Mu Qianqian recalled that when testing Lin Yuan's combat power a few days ago, it had exceeded 120,000 combat power at the second-tier peak, so dealing with second-tier early-stage beasts was naturally easy.

At this moment, on the screen, Lin Yuan rushed directly toward the southeast and arrived at the territory of the Vine Snakes a moment later.

"Oh no, it's a second-tier mid-stage Vine Snake pack! Lin Yuan is too impulsive, actually trying to attack them!"

"Sigh—geniuses are always arrogant. It seems his test is about to end here."

"Hmm, a second-tier mid-stage snake pack is difficult even for a second-tier peak martial artist. Vice Dean Yuan, prepare the rescue."

The surrounding teachers started discussing, and one teacher even asked Vice Dean Yuan to prepare to save him...

However, Vice Dean Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking completely composed, smiling as he watched the screen, showing no sign of preparing a rescue.

Mu Qianqian also curved her lips. If Lin Yuan only had this much strength, why would she let him participate in this test?

Did they really think she, Mu Qianqian, was just a brainless vase? How ridiculous—
