62: Chapter 62: Directly Admitting Defeat, Total Annihilation

The moment Wen Mang saw Lin Yuan, the giant axe in his hand almost dropped to the ground. He quickly retreated, staring at Lin Yuan in terror.

His four teammates also showed looks of fear. Xiao Fan frowned when he saw Wen Mang's reaction.

Of course, Xiao Fan had also seen Lin Yuan appear, but he recognized him immediately as that New Student, so he completely ignored Lin Yuan.

"Wen Mang, what the hell are you doing? Look at your ghost-like expression!"

They were just about to kill the Tiger King, but Wen Mang retreated. How could that not infuriate him?

At this moment, Wen Mang couldn't bother with Xiao Fan; his eyes were locked onto Lin Yuan.

"Lin—Lin Yuan, do you want this Tiger King? Then we'll leave right now, okay?" Wen Mang asked cautiously.

He was truly afraid that Lin Yuan would disregard martial ethics and instantly knock them all out of the competition.

Wen Mang actually surrendered immediately. They had ten people, yet even so, Wen Mang couldn't muster an ounce of fighting spirit.

He knew that facing Lin Yuan, there was no room for other fantasies; only running away was the safest choice.

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Wen Mang to cave in so directly. Bored, he waved his hand dismissively; he had already lost interest in snatching Wen Mang's points.

Wen Mang acted as if granted amnesty, quickly putting away his giant axe and leading his team members to retreat to the side.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan revealed a look of disdain. "I say, Wen Mang, you are truly embarrassing. You got scared stiff by a mere New Student? Have you been cultivating your skills into a dog over these past few years?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Mang's anger surged. He didn't want this either, but this was reality. Just because you refuse to admit it doesn't make it untrue. Confronting Lin Yuan only leads to one outcome, which he had already experienced...

"Xiao Fan, what the hell do you know? Don't blame me for not warning you, this person is not someone you can afford to provoke—" Wen Mang said, gesturing towards Lin Yuan with his eyes.

"Hahaha—What a joke! How could I, Xiao Fan, be afraid of a New Student? Wouldn't people laugh their teeth out if that got out?"

Xiao Fan looked at Lin Yuan menacingly, narrowing his eyes, and said, "Kid, be smart and get lost. This Tiger King is not something you can covet. If you insist on seeking death, I don't mind sending you out first."

Xiao Fan made his long spear perform a fancy flourish before holding it beside him, fully displaying the aura of a peak Second Tier cultivator.

"Kid, did you hear what Brother Fan said? Aren't you going to leave this place quickly? Do you really want us to make a move?"

"Haha—Truly the calf doesn't fear the tiger. You don't seriously think that just because you passed the sophomore test, you can actually contend with us seniors, do you? How laughable—"

Someone in Xiao Fan's team immediately started mocking them. Hearing this, Xiao Fan became even more arrogant, looking at Lin Yuan almost through his nostrils.

"Ignorant—"

"Courtship of Death—"

Several people in Wen Mang's team muttered. Xiao Fan was too arrogant. Since they wouldn't listen, they might as well wait to watch the show.

Lin Yuan completely ignored them, directly drawing his swimming dragon sword. He took a step forward, executing the Star Scar Nine Steps, and instantly appeared beside the Tiger King. With one slash, a massive tiger head flew into the sky.

He smoothly sheathed his sword and quietly activated the Spirit Devouring skill. The soul bodies of the eleven ferocious beasts on the scene were instantly devoured, netting him 4600 ability points.

"Kid, you're courting death! How dare you snatch the ferocious beast I had my eye on? You are truly audacious! Then I will teach you what respect for your seniors means!"

Xiao Fan's anger boiled over. A New Student dared to ignore him and snatch his ferocious beast right in front of him? This was unbearable for any man.

He stomped his foot, and his spear instantly thrust toward Lin Yuan. He was determined to teach Lin Yuan a profound lesson.

As the spear approached, the space seemed to freeze, and the temperature plummeted. Xiao Fan's ability was a relatively rare Ice Element among the elemental types.

"Hmph!"

Lin Yuan had just finished devouring the soul bodies when the spear arrived. His eyes instantly turned cold.

After coldly snorting, he shifted his feet and easily dodged the spear's tricky attack path, completely unaffected by the opponent's ice attribute.

Then, Lin Yuan rushed forward directly, instantly closing the distance to Xiao Fan.

He threw a punch without any fancy moves toward Xiao Fan's chest.

Lin Yuan's movement technique was too fast; Xiao Fan couldn't react at all. He only saw a massive fist directly impact his chest.

Xiao Fan's pupils suddenly contracted. "This—How is this possible?! Not good!"

Bang!

"Ah!"

A loud crash was heard, followed by Xiao Fan's cry of alarm. His body shot back like a cannonball, flying over twenty meters before smashing into a tree. The thick trunk swayed violently from the immense force.

Xiao Fan lay on the ground, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, his vision went black, and he immediately fell unconscious...

"Hiss—!"

A collective gasp echoed through the scene. Even Wen Mang and his team members were sucking in cold air.

They knew Lin Yuan was powerful, but they never expected him to be this strong.

Lin Yuan had crippled one of Wen Mang's arms with a single sword strike back then, a display of strength that was breathtaking.

Yet, Xiao Fan was slightly stronger than Wen Mang, and he was instantly knocked unconscious by a casual punch from Lin Yuan.

It seemed Lin Yuan had held back previously. They couldn't even imagine how terrifying Lin Yuan would be at full power.

"Brother—Brother Fan!"

The few teammates snapped back to reality and rushed to check on Xiao Fan. They helped him up and looked at the indentation on his chest and the blood constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth. A chill instantly permeated their entire bodies.

"You—How can you be so strong? You are definitely not a New Student!"

"That's right! Who are you? No matter who you are, daring to strike so viciously, the academy teachers won't let you off!"

"Idiot—"

Lin Yuan scoffed and slowly walked toward the group.

Seeing this, the group became extremely flustered and quickly backed away while carrying Xiao Fan.

"You—What are you doing? Don't come closer!" one teammate shouted shakily, pointing at Lin Yuan.

"What am I doing? Of course, I'm snatching points," Lin Yuan said slowly, a smile playing on his lips.

"What should we do? Should we give him the points?" one team member asked in a low voice.

"Give him what? We have four people, what's there to be afraid of? Fight him! Avenge Brother Fan!"

One team member shouted loudly and charged toward Lin Yuan first. The other three followed without hesitation.

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised, then nodded slightly. Not bad, they still had some spirit.

Executing the Star Scar Nine Steps, Lin Yuan's figure turned into an afterimage, weaving among the four.

Slap, slap, thump, thump!

Four simple and brutal loud bangs echoed. These four people were sent flying backward and landed next to Xiao Fan.

Their eyes were wide open, looking at Lin Yuan in disbelief. They weren't severely injured; it was clear Lin Yuan had shown mercy.

"This person is too strong. Even when facing those two monsters before, the pressure wasn't as great as facing him. We were truly overestimating ourselves,"

One team member murmured, looking at Wen Mang and the others standing to the side.

He finally understood why Wen Mang had immediately surrendered. This guy was completely inhuman. Facing an opponent like this, what else could they do but surrender? Die?

"We admit defeat, we'll give you all the points, we quit—"

The four said dejectedly. Then, a spatial gate lit up behind them. The four struggled to get up, lifted the unconscious Xiao Fan from the ground, and scurried through the portal.

When the four appeared before the assembled teachers, their eyes immediately turned red. One of them even grabbed their homeroom teacher.

"Teacher, and the two Deans, you must deliver justice for us! That New Student, Lin Yuan, is absolutely not a New Student. He must be a Third Year senior in disguise. He severely injured Xiao Fan like this with one strike! Quick, save him!"

Their homeroom teacher was very awkward at the moment. He patted the person's shoulder and said helplessly:

"Sigh—The person who defeated you is indeed a New Student. Consider this a lesson for you this time. In the future, never look down on anyone.

If you hadn't been careless and had all five of you gone all out from the start, perhaps you would have had a chance to fight back. Unfortunately, you were all too arrogant—Take Xiao Fan down for treatment now."

Upon hearing this, the four showed looks of disbelief. They were actually wiped out by a New Student.

The opponent was only eighteen years old. How could such a monstrous freak exist in this world...
