64: Chapter 64 Ruthless Destruction, Deadly Sneak Attack

A few minutes later, Lin Yuan appeared near the group of savanna leopards.

This area was already outside the dense forest, with only one giant, short tree next to the leopard pack.

However, the short tree had a massive crown, covering the area like a huge umbrella.

It was very shady beneath the tree, with over a foot of soft grass, making it an excellent resting spot for the savanna leopards.

"Hmm? Someone’s here."

Lin Yuan frowned. He had rushed over at full speed, yet someone else had already started dealing with the leopard pack.

The other party was a small squad of five people. The leader was a tall woman with a somewhat icy demeanor. Although the woman was cold, her appearance was exceptionally striking, and paired with her temperament, she exuded a unique kind of allure.

At this moment, the five people were spread out in five directions, closing in on the savanna leopards.

"There’s an acquaintance here."

Lin Yuan saw one young man among the five-person squad. It was the senior who had proactively struck up a conversation with him outside. Lin Yuan remembered his name was Yan Ziliang.

"Prepare to act. Remember, ignore the others; the main goal is to capture that Fluorescent Leopard for me!"

The cold and beautiful woman said in a deep voice to her squad members. As a woman, and such a beautiful one at that, the Fluorescent Leopard naturally held a fatal attraction for her.

"Understood! Captain Liu!"

The four subordinates responded in unison.

Lin Yuan frowned. He originally had no interest in the Fluorescent Leopard, but hearing Chu Yunfeng mention it, a breathtakingly beautiful figure flashed through his mind.

Lin Yuan didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to claim that Fluorescent Leopard for himself...

With no time to think further, Lin Yuan took a step and instantly appeared in front of everyone.

The five people were startled, clearly not expecting someone to suddenly jump out at this moment.

"Huh? Junior Lin, what are you doing here?"

Yan Ziliang recognized Lin Yuan immediately, lowered his guard, and asked with a smile.

"Senior Yan, hello. I didn't expect to run into you here. I want this Fluorescent Leopard. I hope you seniors and juniors can give way. Name whatever compensation you desire,"

Lin Yuan clasped his fists and spoke politely, but what he said didn't sit well with the opposing Captain Liu.

This kid is trying to rob me of my Fluorescent Leopard! How can I tolerate that?

This cold and beautiful Captain Liu was named Liu Ningfei. She was a famous ice beauty at Qing University, and her strength was also extremely high, second only to the strongest, Huo Ping and Niu Zhen.

"Kid, you are that New Student? Are you showing us too little respect? This Fluorescent Leopard is mine. If you dare to interfere, don't blame us for bullying the young!"

Liu Ningfei looked at Lin Yuan coldly, her voice icy and full of threats.

"Oh? It's yours? What if I say I want it then?"

Upon hearing this, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth as he asked coldly.

Yan Ziliang's heart sank when he heard this. Others might not know, but he knew Lin Yuan's strength.

Back then, Wen Mang couldn't even take one move from him. Although Wen Mang wasn't top-tier among peak Second Stage cultivators and couldn't compare to Liu Ningfei, he was still a solid peak Second Stage. Lin Yuan had easily crushed him. Yan Ziliang suspected that even the powerful Liu Ningfei might not be Lin Yuan's match.

If the two sides started fighting, even if they won in the end, they would pay a huge price.

"Then I will first beat you, this ignorant New Student—out of here!"

Liu Ningfei's expression turned extremely gloomy. She was determined to have this Fluorescent Leopard; even if Huo Ping and Niu Zhen were present, she would never yield.

Let alone a New Student—this was simply lighting a lamp in a latrine—courting death!

"Kid, do you even know who our Captain Liu is? You should have inquired first. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!"

A team member immediately chimed in.

"Heh—"

Lin Yuan was so angry he laughed. He hadn't directly tried to snatch it; offering compensation was already giving them face.

But unexpectedly, the other party was so domineering, directly claiming the Fluorescent Leopard was hers.

This was Qing University's testing space. They were here for a competition. Whoever managed to seize the fierce beast claimed it. Even fighting each other was within the rules.

It seemed some people, accustomed to their superiority, could not be treated too politely.

Only by trampling them underfoot could they speak reasonably...

Seeing the atmosphere turn sour, Yan Ziliang quickly tried to mediate:

"Junior Lin, don't be angry. Ningfei didn't mean it that way. Girls like the Fluorescent Leopard; you should understand. Just don't fight her for it."

Lin Yuan heard this and felt that Yan Ziliang had a point. After all, the Fluorescent Leopard held great attraction for women, which might be why the other party was so aggressive.

"Fine then. I won't fight you for it. After you kill it, just give me one beast bone."

Lin Yuan took a step back, only asking for one beast bone.

"Hmph—You still want a beast bone? Not even a single hair! If you don't scram now, I'll have to personally make you scram!"

Liu Ningfei sneered disdainfully, pointing her long sword at Lin Yuan.

"Kid, scram. If our Captain Liu makes a move, you'll be lying in bed for half a year!"

"Exactly! If you don't scram, we'll finish you!"

The others also mocked him. In their eyes, Lin Yuan was just a New Student they could easily manipulate, a mere weakling...

"It's over..."

Yan Ziliang let out a bitter smile. He knew a fight between the two sides was inevitable. He had tried to talk to Lin Yuan earlier precisely to avoid this situation, but it still happened...

As expected, upon hearing Liu Ningfei's words, Lin Yuan's figure vanished from everyone's sight.

"Be careful!"

Yan Ziliang became extremely vigilant and couldn't help but shout a warning to everyone.

Others might not know Lin Yuan's strength, but he did—he was definitely a formidable opponent.

But in the next second, before anyone could react, Lin Yuan reappeared in the center of the field.

He was standing quietly in front of Liu Ningfei, his fair and powerful hand easily gripping her neck, lifting her straight up.

At this moment, everyone was stunned. Only Liu Ningfei's long, beautiful legs were kicking weakly in the air.

In an instant, Lin Yuan had completely subdued her. Even her cultivation base was suppressed by Lin Yuan's powerful spiritual energy, leaving her unable to muster any strength.

Liu Ningfei's long sword had already fallen to the ground. She clutched the hand gripping her neck with both hands, her eyes wide with shock.

"No—Impossible! You—How can you be this strong? This is absolutely impossible!"

Liu Ningfei said in shock. She was a genius in her sophomore year; she even had the strength to fight Huo Ping and Niu Zhen.

Yet this young man, a New Student who had just arrived at Qing University and was only eighteen, made her completely unable to resist.

In front of him, she was as weak as a child. Lin Yuan was like a towering mountain standing before her, one she could never surmount.

Yan Ziliang's eyes were wide open, big enough to stuff a steamed bun in his mouth. He thought he understood Lin Yuan's strength, but now it seemed what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

The actual Lin Yuan was terrifyingly strong...

Even Huo Ping and Niu Zhen couldn't defeat Liu Ningfei instantly, let alone subdue her, but Lin Yuan had done it.

Moreover, Lin Yuan seemed to be strolling leisurely, not even using his full strength—he was simply unfathomable...

"Nothing is impossible, Liu Ningfei. Can we talk properly now?"

Lin Yuan increased the pressure on his hand slightly and asked coldly.

"Cough—Yes—Yes. Let go of me, I—I can't breathe..."

Liu Ningfei's face turned crimson. Lin Yuan had shattered all her pride in an instant. She understood how arrogant and ridiculous she had been before.

If Lin Yuan hadn't slapped her awake today, with her personality, she would surely suffer a great loss in the future, perhaps a consequence she couldn't bear.

Lin Yuan casually placed Liu Ningfei back on the ground and released his grip.

Liu Ningfei immediately began coughing violently. A few team members snapped out of their shock and quickly gathered around her, looking at Lin Yuan with awe.

"Liu Ningfei, do you still want this Fluorescent Leopard?"

Lin Yuan asked coldly.

"No—I don't want it anymore,"

Liu Ningfei said timidly.

Lin Yuan's lips curved into a slight smile, and he walked directly toward the Fluorescent Leopard.

But just then, a cold light suddenly appeared directly above Lin Yuan's head, shooting down fiercely!

Someone was actually attempting a sneak attack, and the move was extremely vicious—they intended to kill Lin Yuan with one strike!

This was Qing University's testing space; killing was not permitted, yet the attacker used a fatal killing move!

"Hmph! I've been waiting for you for a long time. You finally made your move? Then stay here!"

Lin Yuan sneered. The swimming dragon sword was drawn with a sound of dragon roars accompanying it—
