Crazy Zhang Han, I must be dreaming! !

"Ah!!!"

"My legs!!!"

"My legs are completely crippled!!!"

The moment Zhang Han knelt, an intense pain exploded from his knees, rapidly spreading throughout his body.

His entire body trembled, his face deathly pale.

"Hmph, shut up!"

"Scream again, and I'll cripple your other leg!"

Wang Chen's words were devoid of any warmth.

This sentence caused Zhang Han's wails to catch in his throat.

He raised his head in disbelief, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Wang Chen, and he tremblingly extended a finger, pointing at him.

"You… how dare you, how dare you do this to me?!"

"How audacious!"

An Outer Sect Disciple nearby had long been looking for an opportunity to show off. Seeing that Zhang Han still dared to point at Wang Chen, he immediately stepped forward and kicked Zhang Han hard in the chest.

Zhang Han grunted, falling backward, followed by another wave of heart-wrenching pain.

"I think you must be crazy, forgetting your own status!"

The Disciple shouted fiercely, making Zhang Han quickly snap awake!

That's right! The person before him was the Senior Disciple Brother of the Outer Sect, someone even his own brother dared not provoke!

How could he have been so muddled just now, pointing at him and questioning him?

Where did he get such courage?

Thinking of this, a chill rose from his spine, instantly rushing to his scalp.

Ignoring the pain, he quickly used both hands and feet, trying to crawl to Wang Chen's feet.

When Wang Chen noticed his intention, he simply stepped aside, easily avoiding him.

Zhang Han missed, but he didn't care. He just lay on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, his voice filled with fear.

"Senior Brother, forgive me!"

"I had an episode just now; my mind was muddled, which is why I spoke nonsense!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gave himself a loud slap.

"Senior Brother, I don't know how I offended you. Please tell me, and I will change; I will definitely change!"

He was completely bewildered now, not understanding why Wang Chen had suddenly attacked him.

"Did you not hear what I just said?"

Wang Chen looked down at him, his expression unchanged.

"Senior Brother Lin ordered you to kneel!"

After saying this, Wang Chen ignored Zhang Han on the ground, turned, and quickly walked to Lin Mo, tidied his robes, and then respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lin Mo!"

"Haha, Junior Brother, we meet again."

Lin Mo smiled, patting Wang Chen on the shoulder.

Only then did Wang Chen straighten up, then he consciously stepped back half a pace, standing behind Lin Mo, hands clasped, silent.

And that incredibly submissive posture immediately stirred up a huge storm in the hearts of the other Outer Sect Disciples!

What's going on?!

Their Senior Disciple Brother, the dignified number one genius of the outer sect, he had his own pride!

In the past, even when encountering Inner Sect Disciples, his attitude was respectful, but that was more out of respect for their status, never like today, where he directly adopted the posture of a junior subordinate... This was too abnormal!

The Outer Sect Disciples exchanged glances, all reading the same thought from each other's reactions.

This Senior Brother Lin, he must hold an extraordinary position even among Inner Sect Disciples!

Otherwise, how could he make their Senior Disciple Brother treat him like this?

Thinking of this, they dared not show the slightest neglect. They immediately followed Wang Chen's example, quickly stepped forward, and bowed respectfully to Lin Mo.

"We greet Senior Brother Lin!"

"Mm, Junior Brothers, there's no need for such ceremony."

Lin Mo's attitude remained gentle, causing these uneasy Disciples to let out a huge sigh of relief.

Subsequently, they also very consciously stood one step behind Wang Chen, quietly awaiting instructions from this Senior Brother Lin.

The dozen or so Utility Disciples remaining in the square had long been so shocked by the scene before them that they had lost the ability to think.

Their minds were blank now, completely unable to comprehend what was happening.

Why were those Outer Sect Senior Brothers, who were high and mighty and powerful in their eyes, so humble before Lin Mo now?

Wasn't Lin Mo just a Utility Disciple, like themselves?

It wasn't just them; even Zhang Han, lying on the ground, had completely stopped thinking.

"What did I see?"

"These Outer Sect Disciples, calling that little beast Lin Mo 'Senior Brother'?"

"Hahaha, I must not be awake; I'm dreaming!"

"Impossible...!"

"How could this be true?!"

"This can't possibly be true!"

He muttered to himself, his expression twisting between pain and madness.

"Watch me tear apart this little beast, watch me shatter this dream right now!"

After a brief daze, Zhang Han's eyes turned blood red, and a beast-like growl escaped his throat.

He actually charged towards Lin Mo like a mad dog, dragging his broken leg, using his hands to support himself on the ground.

However, how could Wang Chen let him succeed?

He directly gave a look to the two Disciples beside him.

The two instantly understood, stepped forward, and each stomped heavily on Zhang Han's back and leg, pinning him firmly to the ground, unable to move again.

"Ah!!"

"You let go of me!!"

"Let go of me!"

"Damn bastards!"

"Don't stop me from breaking this dream!"

Zhang Han struggled madly, wriggling with all his might, but it was all in vain.

"Hmph, a dream?"

"Even now, you still think this is a dream?"

Wang Chen looked at Zhang Han, who was like a madman, his disgust evident.

How did such trash get into the Sect?

"I'm telling you, this person before you is Senior Brother Lin Mo, who was just promoted to Inner Sect Disciple a few days ago!"

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Zhang Han roared.

"How is that possible?!"

"Seven days ago, this little beast was only at the Body Tempering Eighth Level. How could he bypass the Outer Sect and directly become an Inner Sect Disciple?!"

"If he can become an Inner Sect Disciple, I can directly become the Sect Master!"

"Indeed, this is indeed a dream!"

Zhang Han simply didn't believe Wang Chen's words. He was now increasingly convinced that he was in an absurd nightmare.

"Spewing filth, it's a disgrace for the Qingxuan Sect to have a Disciple like you!"

Wang Chen's patience was almost completely worn out.

"Fine, I'll let you be a ghost who understands."

"Senior Brother Lin Mo is not some Body Tempering Eighth Level. The reason he stayed in the Menial Labor Courtyard for so long was merely to temper his Heart-Nature!"

Wang Chen's voice suddenly rose, and he began to publicly proclaim Lin Mo's deeds.

From Lin Mo being exceptionally promoted to Inner Sect Disciple by the Grand Elder, to breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in just a few days, and then to the heroic act of saving Wang Chen's life not long ago—each event clearly entered the ears of everyone present.

After these words were spoken, except for Wang Chen, who already knew, and Lin Mo, the person involved, everyone in the entire square was so stunned by these incredible facts that they couldn't utter a single word.

Looking at the stunned expressions of the crowd, Wang Chen felt it was only natural.

They should be this shocked.

After all, when he inquired about Lin Mo from the steward yesterday, he was also quite shaken by the steward's words.

It's worth mentioning that the steward was the same steward Lin Mo had approached when he wanted to take the assessment early.

He was also the steward who had personally witnessed the Grand Elder's exceptional promotion of Lin Mo to Inner Sect Disciple.

"Impossible... This is impossible..."

"Fake... It's all fake..."

"What Inner Sect Disciple, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Listening to this, Zhang Han collapsed on the ground, his body beginning to twitch slightly.

He kept repeating words of denial, his eyes lost focus, and he looked as if his soul had been sucked out.

"As a Utility Disciple, you overstepped your bounds, wantonly insulting an Inner Sect Senior Brother."

"After being stopped, you remained unrepentant, even attempting to attack."

"According to Sect rules, I have the right to abolish your cultivation and expel you from the Sect!"

Wang Chen's cold words continued to ring out, like a judgment.

He believed that such trash was not worthy of Senior Brother Lin personally taking action.

"No... No!!"

"Spare me, please spare me!!"

"Don't abolish my cultivation, don't!"

Wang Chen's emotionless words finally dragged Zhang Han harshly out of his state of self-deception.

The cruelty of reality made him unable to question it any longer.

He abruptly turned towards Lin Mo's direction and began to kowtow madly, begging for mercy.

"Lin Mo... no, Great Master Lin Mo, Senior Brother Lin Mo, I, Zhang Han, am not a human; I am a beast. Please, Great Master, don't hold a grudge against a small person like me. Just let me go like a fart, okay?"

"Alas, Zhang Han, Zhang Han, if you had known this, why did you do it in the first place?"

Lin Mo finally spoke, his voice still calm, showing no signs of joy or anger.

"Well, I, Lin Mo, am not a petty person either."

"Since we know each other, I'll give you a chance."

At this point, Lin Mo's lips curved slightly upward.

"Kneel here and slap yourself three thousand times!"

"If you can do it, not only will I not trouble you, but I will also have Junior Brother Wang Chen acknowledge your status as an Outer Sect Disciple, how about that?"

Lin Mo's words, upon reaching Zhang Han's ears, were both sharp and full of hope.

He didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately agreed!

"It's a deal, Great Master Lin Mo!"

"I... I'll start now!"

Hearing this, the two Outer Sect Disciples who were stepping on Zhang Han immediately withdrew their feet.

Zhang Han, fearing that Lin Mo would go back on his word, hurriedly struggled to kneel upright from the ground, and a smell of urine spread out.

He ignored these things and immediately began to slap his own face with all his might, left and right.

Seeing this, Lin Mo no longer looked at him, nodded to Wang Chen, and then turned and left directly.

To everyone, Lin Mo seemed to have just casually dealt with an insignificant matter.

Seeing Lin Mo leave, Wang Chen directly instructed the two Disciples behind him.

"Junior Brothers, please help supervise this person here. Make sure he finishes three thousand slaps."

"Remember, he must maintain the force; don't let him fool around!"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, we will definitely get it done!"

The two Disciples gave Wang Chen an "we understand" look, which put Wang Chen at ease.

Immediately, Wang Chen quickly chased in the direction Lin Mo had left.

And a moment later, the entire Menial Labor Courtyard square gradually began to echo with crisp slapping sounds and pig-like wails!
