66: Chapter 66 Reincarnation Cult, Campaign Against Lin Yuan

As they were fighting, the grassland leopard pack had already fled the area. Lin Yuan immediately pursued them based on Chu Yunfeng's location.

While chasing, he reviewed Huo Ping's memories. From Huo Ping's memories, Lin Yuan seemed to have uncovered a huge secret.

Huo Ping was not only a student at Qing University but also a follower of a cult called the Reincarnation Cult. The doctrines preached by this cult were missing; Lin Yuan could not find out what they were.

"It seems this organization is very mysterious. They must have implemented some kind of encryption measure in the memories of their followers. To have such methods, this organization must be quite powerful..." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Huo Ping believed that Lin Yuan's talent was exceptionally strong, and killing him would be a great achievement within the Reincarnation Cult.

Moreover, the members of this cult, though called followers, seemed more like zealots.

As long as it benefited the cult, they would act without hesitation, even if it meant sacrificing their lives.

That was why he had taken the desperate measure of trying to kill Lin Yuan directly.

"Forget it, I'll let it go for now. I'll ask her when I get out; maybe she'll know something."

Lin Yuan's mind drifted back to that peerlessly beautiful figure. The corner of his mouth curved slightly, and he quickened his pace, continuing to chase the grassland leopard pack.

Lin Yuan transformed into a phantom. After his Star Scar Nine Steps reached the advanced proficiency level, his movement technique became even swifter and more elusive.

Soon, Lin Yuan caught up with the grassland leopard pack. He saw his illusory figure charge into the pack. A dozen sword lights flashed, leaving a ground full of leopard corpses...

After swallowing these soul bodies, Lin Yuan stored the corpses of the Fluorescent Leopards in his storage space.

Then, under Chu Yunfeng's guidance, he headed toward another gathering place of ferocious beasts.

...

Outside the field, when Vice Dean Yuan saw Lin Yuan putting away the Fluorescent Leopard corpses, he burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahahaha--- This kid, after chasing for so long, it turns out he was just after this Fluorescent Leopard! It seems this kid has a girl he likes---"

The surrounding teachers all showed slight smiles upon hearing this. Qing University did not restrict dating among students; after all, it was a university, and it was quite liberal.

Mu Qianqian's face darkened slightly upon hearing this. "It must be that girl, Tang Wanrou."

Mu Qianqian already knew Tang Wanrou, as she was the little princess of the Martial Artist Alliance, and her age was also very suitable for Lin Yuan...

...

Along the way, Lin Yuan killed any ferocious beast he saw. Not only did he kill beasts himself, but he also revisited places where others had killed beasts to devour the ready-made soul bodies.

"Eating what's ready-made is truly satisfying---" Lin Yuan was in high spirits.

"Kid, what kind of ability is this? You can actually devour soul bodies. I've seen countless geniuses, but someone as unique as you is the first time I've ever seen."

Chu Yunfeng was extremely puzzled, feeling both fear and curiosity toward Lin Yuan's ability.

"You can understand it as a kind of innate secret technique of mine. After devouring soul bodies, I can become stronger."

Lin Yuan explained it vaguely. After all, since Chu Yunfeng was constantly following him, completely hiding things was unrealistic.

Besides, he had planted a Soul Imprint on the other party, so he would not betray him. Lin Yuan was just being cautious.

"That amazing? Spirit Devouring to become stronger? That's too overpowered! Are you cheating?---"

Devouring souls to become stronger was unheard of. If he wasn't cheating, what was he?

"Yes, you are right. I am cheating," Lin Yuan admitted directly.

"Tch--- It's just a secret technique, and you call it cheating? Do you think this is playing a game?"

As expected, Chu Yunfeng directly accepted the fact that Lin Yuan had a secret technique and didn't believe he could cheat at all.

This test space at Qing University wasn't too large; it was only about twice the size of the Qing University campus. Within an hour, Lin Yuan had covered almost the entire map.

He had accumulated 60,000 ability points, and Lin Yuan was very satisfied. This trip had yielded great rewards.

Not only did he gain many ability points, but he also advanced to a Second-Tier Martial Artist and improved the proficiency of several Martial Arts.

Especially the Profound Crystal Spirit Armor, which had reached the highest proficiency level for a Martial Artist.

Its defense was astonishing. Lin Yuan estimated that with his current combat strength, blocking one attack from a Mid Third-Tier Martial Artist should not be a big problem. This level of defense was already extremely abnormal.

"I've almost covered the entire test space. It's about time to leave."

Lin Yuan decided to leave the test space. He didn't come here for points; his only goal was ability points. Since he had already obtained them, he didn't plan to continue snatching points from others.

"Kid Lin, aren't you going to snatch some more points?" Chu Yunfeng asked.

"No need. That stuff is useless to me," Lin Yuan shook his head.

"But those guys have already teamed up and are preparing an expedition against you," Chu Yunfeng said teasingly.

"Huh? An expedition against me? What earth-shattering thing did I do?"

Lin Yuan frowned. Was it because he killed Huo Ping? But Huo Ping tried to kill him first; he was only retaliating.

"It must be that Liu Ningfei's team leaked the news. They all saw what happened back then, yet they still want to team up with others to attack me?"

Lin Yuan initially didn't want to bother with them, but on second thought, this matter needed to be resolved. Otherwise, even if he left, these people probably wouldn't let it go. It would be less trouble to settle it now.

"Old Chu, where are they?" Lin Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"They are heading this way. They must have found out your general location," Chu Yunfeng replied.

"Good. Then I'll wait for them here and see what they want to do."

Lin Yuan was completely unafraid. With his combat strength far surpassing that of a Mid Third-Tier Martial Artist, he feared nothing even if they all attacked him together.

He found a thick, sturdy tree, leaped up, and rested half-reclining on a branch. He took out a beast bone from a Fluorescent Leopard from his storage space, drew his swimming dragon sword, and began carving it.

"I'll make a hairpin. Her long hair is so beautiful; wearing this hairpin, she will surely look stunning--- Ahem, I'm just purely appreciating her beauty."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and continued carving.

...

Before long, a bustling crowd arrived nearby, heading toward Lin Yuan's location. When they reached the large tree where Lin Yuan was, he spoke up.

"Senior brothers and sisters, with such a grand procession, where are you all headed?"

Lin Yuan's voice came from the treetop. Everyone quickly looked up and saw Lin Yuan leaning comfortably against the trunk, his expression calm.

"Lin Yuan! You audacious madman! You killed my Brother Ping and still dare to be so arrogant! We are here to kill you!"

The person who spoke was the other Third-Tier genius, Niu Zhen. At this moment, he was pointing at Lin Yuan, his face contorted with ferocity.

Lin Yuan saw Liu Ningfei's team and Wen Mang's team among the group, and immediately frowned, saying to Liu Ningfei:

"Liu Ningfei, you know the situation best. Why didn't you explain it clearly to everyone?"

"Lin Yuan, don't misunderstand. I explained it, but Niu Zhen doesn't believe me. He insists that you maliciously killed Huo Ping. We followed along because we were afraid you would clash and wanted to mediate---"

Liu Ningfei quickly explained, her expression still very sincere. She had witnessed Lin Yuan's terror and probably wasn't lying.

Wen Mang was also nodding continuously at this moment. "Lin Yuan, although I really dislike you, I don't believe you would kill someone maliciously."

If Lin Yuan liked to kill people, then he, Wen Mang, would have already gone to see his great-grandmother...

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded to the two of them, then leaped down to the ground, looking calmly at Niu Zhen.

"Niu Zhen, if you want revenge, then come. Whoever wants to join in, I, Lin Yuan, will take them all on. But you all better think clearly—my fists don't have eyes!"

Lin Yuan scanned the remaining dozen or so people, not taking them seriously at all.

"Lin Yuan, don't be impulsive. We can talk things out."

Liu Ningfei urged him somewhat anxiously, not wanting to see everyone slaughter each other.

"Kid, you're too arrogant! Brother Ping treated us like real brothers. Regardless of what happened between you, the principle of paying with a life for a life doesn't need us to elaborate. Give up your life!"

"Avenge Brother Ping! Kill him! Kill him!"

The crowd suddenly became enraged. More than ten people drew their weapons, especially the fierce-looking Niu Zhen, who looked ready to fight Lin Yuan to the death.

Lin Yuan didn't explain. He knew that explaining now would certainly not be listened to. He might as well subdue them first and then talk things over.

Lin Yuan sheathed his swimming dragon sword and threw it into his storage space, standing bare-handed.

"If that's the case, then come at me all at once!" Lin Yuan beckoned toward the crowd and shouted.

Niu Zhen immediately roared, carrying a heavy broadsword, and charged forward first.

The dozen or so students behind him also carried their weapons, roaring as they charged over.

The great battle was imminent...
