44: Chapter 44 The Gift

Ling Yichen was actually not very worried about his own situation!

Even if that so-called Discipline Hall really wanted to execute him, he could guarantee that he wouldn't die.

In fact, if the other party was truly unreasonable, he could even give them a little "surprise"!

Given his current state, if he chose to decompose himself, he could instantly release tens of thousands of Worms.

Once these tens of thousands of Worms erupted, he was confident that he could turn over ninety percent of the people in this school into nutrients for the Worms.

Even... total annihilation!

Of course, unless it was an absolute last resort, he would not use such extreme measures.

Just as he was thinking about this, the two directors of the Discipline Hall became angry because of the round-faced teacher's words.

One of them looked down at Long Daoyi and said:

"Long Daoyi, who do you think you are? Do you really think you have the right to interfere in the affairs of our Discipline Hall? Or are you saying that you, Long Daoyi, have become powerful enough to reach into our Discipline Hall?"

The two of them didn't give Long Daoyi any face at all, scolding him directly in front of Ling Yichen.

This made Long Daoyi's face turn red instantly, both ashamed and angry.

Just as he wanted to say something, the man spoke first: "Long Daoyi, you're still D-rank, right? Tsk tsk, we entered the school in the same batch, after all. Let's calculate, it's been 20 years, right?"

"Goodness, 20 years. To think you've managed to stagnate for 20 years, you're truly a rare specimen!"

"Even your current position was only given to you because the school pitied you and transferred you to the Academic Affairs Office. Otherwise, wouldn't you still be clearing wasteland behind the school?"

Every word that came out was like a knife stabbing into Long Daoyi's heart.

Long Daoyi had originally shown some emotion, but as they continued, he simply lowered his head and remained silent.

Because he felt inferior~

Although what the other party said was harsh, it was also the truth.

He, Long Daoyi, and these two people had entered the school in the same batch.

Even their talent ratings at the time were the same; they were all D-rank.

However, 20 years had passed, and these two had already cultivated to Upper C-rank, only a step away from B-rank.

But what about him!

He was still D-rank, although he had cultivated from lower D-rank to middle D-rank.

But such a meager achievement had taken 20 years of cultivation; it was simply not worth mentioning, and mentioning it would only invite ridicule.

Seeing him lower his head and not speak, the two couldn't help but sneer.

The director named Lin said even more mockingly: "Tch, it seems you also know you're a loser."

"Since you know you're a loser, why do you overestimate your capabilities and interfere in our Discipline Hall's affairs?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just be a good little clerk in the Academic Affairs Office?"

As he spoke, he actually reached out and tapped Long Daoyi on the head a few times; his demeanor showed he didn't view Long Daoyi as a classmate or colleague at all.

Just at this moment, Ling Yichen suddenly made a move.

He took a step forward and grabbed Director Lin's hand, preventing him from tapping Long Daoyi's head again.

The reason Long Daoyi had received so much humiliation was entirely because he wanted to speak up for him, which was why he had angered these two.

How could he stand idly by and let others bully this teacher, whom he had just met but felt a strong affinity for?

"Two directors, aren't you going a bit too far?"

Ling Yichen looked at them coldly, not feeling any fear at all.

"You little brat, you're courting death. How dare you provoke the authority of the Discipline Hall?"

Seeing Ling Yichen intervene, Director Xu instantly became furious, an unmatched momentum erupting from his body as he raised his hand to slap Ling Yichen's face.

He wanted to slap Ling Yichen to crush his arrogance.

At this moment, Ling Yichen's pupils constricted slightly, and the image of a Spirit Worm was already faintly visible within his eyes.

Ling Yichen didn't know what level his current strength was considered.

But if he had to fight someone, he would naturally go all out and release all the power of the hundred or so Spirit Worms within his body.

However, just as he was preparing to fight with all his might against these two unreasonable people who were bullying others for no reason, he felt a warmth at his waist. Looking down, he immediately saw a rounded arm wrap around him, and then he felt a force pull him away.

But the next second, a crisp sound of a slap also rang in his ear.

He looked up abruptly and immediately saw Director Xu's palm strike hard against Long Daoyi's round face.

Long Daoyi's body flew sideways, and a mouthful of blood sprayed into the air, splattering all along the way.

At this moment, Ling Yichen felt an nameless rage shoot up from the soles of his feet, straight to his crown!

"Damn it!"

He couldn't even help but curse.

Seeing someone else get beaten to save him was more painful than being beaten himself!

He narrowed his eyes instantly, dozens of Spirit Worms surging on his palm, and raised his hand to lash out at the two!

"Don't... don't do it!"

"Cough, cough... He's still a child!"

"Let's talk things over!"

Long Daoyi's soft voice came, making him freeze for a moment!

The hand that was about to strike also paused in place.

He slowly turned his eyes to look at Long Daoyi lying on the ground, his eyes feeling inexplicably sore.

The word "child" struck deep into his heart!

It had been six years, a full six years since he transmigrated into this world, and no one had ever treated him like a child.

The people at the Celestial God Laboratory didn't even treat him like a person, using all kinds of extremely cruel methods on him.

He had always endured it all alone.

Even when he was only 12 years old!

Gradually, he also forgot that he was a child.

No matter what he faced, whether he could bear it or not, he carried it all himself.

But now, a teacher he had never met had stepped forward for him, enduring pressure that even he himself couldn't bear. This meant a lot to him!

At this moment, he felt his heart trembling.

But in the next second, he smiled.

He withdrew his hand that was ready to fight those two, turned around, and walked towards Long Daoyi.

He bent down to help him up and asked softly: "Teacher Long, are you okay?"

The first thing Long Daoyi did upon getting up was to pull him behind himself, then turned back and gave him a bright smile.

Even though half of his face was already swollen and his features were squeezed together, looking both miserable and comical.

"Don't worry, I won't die!"

Long Daoyi said with a grin, but a front tooth fell out, hitting the ground and bouncing twice.

At this moment, Ling Yichen didn't know whether to feel heartache first or laugh first.

Because it was just too comical.

Can you imagine the scene of someone with a face swollen like a pig's head and a missing front tooth grinning at you?

Who could hold back?

Finally, he couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, but as he laughed, his eyes uncontrollably turned red, and moisture gathered in the corners of his eyes.

He looked up, not letting the tears fall, and muttered: "Being cared for, it's really nice!"

Then he took a deep breath, glanced at the red Spirit Worms wriggling on his palm, and then looked at Long Daoyi's not-so-sturdy back. A decision formed in his heart!

He said loudly: "Teacher Long, thank you, you are a good person."

"Good people deserve good rewards!"

"Although your strength is low, you have a heart willing to protect the weak. A person like you shouldn't be so obscure."

"So I have decided to bestow upon you a path to invincibility!"

As his voice fell, he struck Long Daoyi's back heavily.

Instantly, the dozens of Spirit Worms on Ling Yichen's palm surged onto Long Daoyi, entering his body in an instant.
