21: Chapter 21 Classic Appearance

Coming out from Principal Yan Shaozhe's place, Lin Yan walked straight in the direction of Sea God Lake.

Principal Yan Shaozhe had two offices, and the place where the two of them had just talked was the one located in the Outer Court.

Therefore, if he wanted to go to the Inner Court to find Ma Xiaotao, he had to cross the entire Sea God Lake.

However, just as Lin Yan walked to the lakeside, he caught sight of a clean and tall figure quietly sitting on the lake bank covered in Blue Silver Grass.

As a gentle breeze blew, the youth's iconic powdery blue short hair was gently brushed, the fluffy and soft hair strands outlining a clear and delicate face.

"Wang Dong?"

Indeed, this figure was precisely the protagonist he and Principal Yan Shaozhe had just been discussing—Wang Dong, or rather Wang Donger!

Although he bumped into Wang Dong here, Lin Yan did not go forward to say hello.

After all, there was a high probability that Tang San's Divine Sense was hidden inside Wang Dong's body. Although it should be in a dormant state, it was still best to stay away where possible.

However, sometimes the development of things does not transfer based on human will, just like right now!

As seen, the lake surface was wreathed in thin mist, but a blazing red figure suddenly darted out from the depths of the mist at an extremely fast speed, the figure rapidly enlarging, carrying a fierce momentum as it headed straight for the direction of Wang Dong on the bank.

The red shadow was fast to the extreme, approaching within a hundred meters of the bank in a flash.

A scalding and scorching high temperature mixed with a tyrannical, eerie, and crazy aura swept over. Wang Dong's pupils on the bank suddenly shrank, and a look of horror instantly surged into the depths of her eyes.

With a crisp sound of "swish", a pair of clear and azure light wings unfolded from behind Wang Dong, and she immediately flapped her wings, preparing to fly away.

Yet in merely this fleeting moment, that red figure had already arrived close by.

A violent and scorching temperature suddenly erupted, and Wang Dong only felt as if she was wrapped in a boundless sea of fire. The azure light wings behind her were instantly scorched and curled by the high temperature, and a bone-piercing searing pain swept through her entire body, causing her body to stiffen and heavily crash down onto the ground.

With her as the center, the vegetation within a radius of dozens of meters instantly turned yellow and withered under the terrifying high temperature.

Just as Wang Dong was crushed by the terrifying heat and felt fear and despair, a tall figure abruptly stood across in front of her, blocking all the violent impacts for her like a towering mountain.

Barely stabilizing her mind, she saw the appearance of the person in front of her clearly.

It was precisely her classmate who strongly crushed Teacher Zhou Yi during the day and shocked the entire Shrek with a single battle—Lin Yan!

Having no time to care about Wang Dong's myriad thoughts behind him, at this moment, Lin Yan's face was already covered in solemnity.

From the moment the red figure appeared, Lin Yan had already guessed the other party's identity.

Being able to "go crazy" and go on a rampage in Shrek Academy, possessing fire attributes, and having such a classic entrance method, it could only be his original target this time—Ma Xiaotao!

However, if he remembered correctly, shouldn't Ma Xiaotao going crazy happen a few days after the official start of school?

Why was it brought forward?!

Was it the butterfly effect caused by him?

Actually, what Lin Yan did not know was that the reason for this matter truly lay with him.

It was his appearance that stimulated Ma Xiaotao, causing her to desperately and crazily Cultivate, ultimately prematurely detonating the evil fire accumulated within her body.

Ma Xiaotao first saw Lin Yan at the time of freshman enrollment.

At that time, Lin Yan was just an ordinary freshman who looked okay in her eyes, while she was Principal Yan Shaozhe's Personal Disciple and an Inner Court Genius, so Ma Xiaotao was looking down on Lin Yan with a proud posture at that time.

But when Ma Xiaotao saw Lin Yan for the second time, the circumstances of the two of them underwent a reversal.

Lin Yan was transformed, becoming the owner of the Ultimate Fire that she sought so hard but could not get, while she herself could only tremble under the suppression of the Ultimate Fire, even her Spirit feeling fear.

Coupled with the fact that Principal Yan Shaozhe repeatedly hinted afterwards, implying in his words that she should take the initiative to approach Lin Yan, this further stimulated Ma Xiaotao, who was already unhappy with Lin Yan due to the disparity and jealousy.

Under the accumulation of all sorts of emotions, after returning, Ma Xiaotao began to crazily Cultivate, ultimately causing the evil fire in her body to lose control and run amok ahead of time, brewing the scene before them.

And watching Wang Dong being affected by the crazy Ma Xiaotao—not to mention whether Tang San would descend as a deity when Wang Dong was truly on the verge of death, or what kind of chain reaction it would trigger—

but just speaking of letting him watch Wang Dong "go die" with his own eyes when he clearly had sufficient ability, it did not fit Lin Yan's temperament either.

After all, as a youth who had received nine years of compulsory education and grew up under the red flag, although he didn't consider himself a good person, he still possessed a bit of compassion.

Furthermore, Wang Dong was also different from that little punk; when all is said and done, she was also a victim.

Having her Soul torn apart and her destiny manipulated by her own biological father, such an experience would be quite painful for anyone!

However, being confident was one thing.

But facing the runaway Ma Xiaotao, Lin Yan did not dare to lower his guard in the slightest.

After all, although both were Spirit Emperors, compared to someone like Teacher Zhou Yi who was like a stray dog by the roadside and a Genius like Ma Xiaotao who had been heavily nurtured since childhood, their strength and foundation had simply no comparability whatsoever.

Seeing someone block in front of her, the thoroughly crazy Ma Xiaotao's Soul Power surged, and raging evil fires coiled around her palms, carrying a domineering and scorching might as she slapped a palm directly toward Lin Yan's chest.

Because Wang Dong was collapsed on the ground right behind him, Lin Yan had no choice but to raise his hand to forcefully resist this strike from Ma Xiaotao.

Relying on the natural suppression of the Ultimate Fire, the flames in Ma Xiaotao's palms were completely unable to harm Lin Yan in the slightest, but the other party's Physical Body strength as a veteran Spirit Emperor far exceeded Lin Yan at the current stage.

Meeting this heavy blow head-on, Lin Yan let out a muffled grunt in his throat, taking advantage of the impact force to retreat smoothly, and with a backhand, he scooped up the fallen Wang Dong, instantly activating his second Spirit Ability.

Flame Spirit Armor — Body Integration!

The Thunder-Fire Wings flapped and unfolded once more, enveloping the bodies of the two as they abruptly soared into the air.

The reason why a hero saving a beauty could become an eternal classic and be repeatedly sung of by the world was that it was never a deliberately crafted romantic drama, but rather the purest redemption and responsibility between desperate life and death.

Ordinary daily life was too bland and insufficient to shake people's hearts. Yet when a person fell into the abyss, enveloped by boundless despair, and thought they were inevitably doomed, a figure rose against the current, blocking disasters with their own body and carrying all the perils—this unexpected guardianship possessed the power to pierce through all mental defenses.

At this moment, Wang Dong, who was steadily held in Lin Yan's embrace, stirred up monstrous waves in her heart and could no longer remain calm.

The tendon-burning and bone-eroding searing pain and the panic of being on the verge of death just then were despair and fear she had never experienced in her life.

Yet right at the moment when her consciousness was trance-like and her heart gave birth to despair, Lin Yan's steady and tall back, resembling a mountain, abruptly blocked in front of her, wiping away all panic and unease for her.

At this moment, nestled in Lin Yan's warm and solid embrace, looking at the youth's fierce and handsome eyebrows and eyes beneath the gilded armor, she couldn't help becoming dazed with fascination for a moment.

Her heart beat wildly and uncontrollably, the "thumping" sound of the heartbeat ringing clearly in her ears, and a layer of scalding crimson quietly climbed onto her cheeks.

The residual fiery temperature around had long been dispersed, yet her earlobes and cheeks grew increasingly hot and feverish.

The wings behind Lin Yan flapped, stirring up wisps of gentle evening breeze.

Wang Dong leaned dazedly in his embrace, truly feeling his steady and powerful arms and his tall, resolute figure. A sense of unprecedented steady warmth surged from the bottom of her heart, mixed with traces of ignorant, youthful palpitating emotion, lingering around her mind and refusing to disperse for a long time!
