107: Chapter 107 The Art Style Is Off

“What the hell is this thing?”

The student who spent 30 million held something that looked like a megaphone, with a funny smiley face sticker slapped on it.

[Beast-Repelling Megaphone]

[Effect: Plays a sound processed at a special frequency resembling “fingernails scratching a chalkboard,” dealing mental critical damage to creatures with sensitive hearing.]

In another student's hand were two buckets of green glue.

[High-Strength Adhesive]

[Effect: The stickiness is 500 times that of ordinary glue; as long as you get a little on you, even a Grandmaster Level exotic beast will have to peel off a layer of skin.]

“Lin Fan, you scammed me!”

“What happened to the defensive formation we agreed on!”

The students were devastated.

How the hell are we supposed to defend with this?

Are we supposed to use glue to stick the rhinoceros's feet?

Lin Fan shrugged on top of the tent, looking innocent.

“It's a blind box, after all, anything is possible.”

“Besides, who said these things can't be used for defense?”

“Use your brains, classmates.”

“That's a Beast-Repelling Megaphone, roar into the rhinoceros's ears with it!”

“That's glue, pour it on the ground!”

“As long as you don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems!”

“Hurry up, otherwise if you actually die, don't blame me for poor after-sales service!”

The students, watching the approaching Ironclad Rhinoceros, had no choice but to try anything as a last resort.

The student holding the megaphone closed his eyes and pressed the play button.

The next second.

Screech~!

A sharp, grating sound capable of making one's soul leave their body and making their scalp explode was instantly amplified hundreds of times through the megaphone, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

That sound was like countless fingernails frantically scratching against your eardrums.

“Holy crap!”

“My ears!”

All the students clutched their ears in pain.

And those Ironclad Rhinoceros, whose hearing was dozens of times more sensitive than humans, reacted even more violently.

“Awooo!”

The dozens of Ironclad Rhinoceros charging at the front instantly let out shrill screams.

Their massive bodies slammed on the brakes, shaking their heads frantically from the pain; some even foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, limbs twitching.

The originally orderly charging formation was instantly thrown into chaos.

“It works, it actually works!”

The student shouted in surprise.

On the other side.

The student holding the glue also went all out.

He poured the two buckets of glue directly onto the path in front of them.

Several Ironclad Rhinoceros charged over, their hooves stepping into the green glue.

Splat.

The huge momentum carried their bodies forward, but their hooves were stuck firmly to the ground.

Snap.

A crisp sound of bones cracking rang out.

Several Ironclad Rhinoceros did a front somersault, ending up dazed and confused, then stuck together like a pile of arhats, unable to separate no matter how they struggled.

This scene was both hilarious and shocking.

The originally unstoppable beast tide was actually forcefully curbed by these few bizarre items.

Tang Si looked at the scene before him, his mouth twitching.

He glanced at Lin Fan.

The Shrewd Merchant was sitting on high, watching all this with a smile, as if everything was within his expectations.

“This actually works?”

Tang Si's worldview was once again dealt 10,000 points of critical damage.

Although the “Magic-Modified Beast-Repelling Megaphone” and “High-Strength Adhesive” temporarily disrupted the rhythm of the beast tide, this was only a stopgap measure.

There were too many Ironclad Rhinoceros.

The Ironclad Rhinoceros behind stepped on the bodies of their companions, eyes red, continuing their charge.

And while that screeching noise could cause them pain, it also completely incited their ferocity.

A crazed beast is often more terrifying than a calm one.

“Roar!”

A rhinoceros leader, noticeably larger than its peers, endured the noise and forcefully knocked two students flying.

Its single horn, glinting with a cold light, headed straight for Tang Si's chest.

Tang Si had already exhausted most of his spiritual power.

He had just endured several impacts to save people, and now his internal organs were churning.

Facing this fatal blow, he could only grit his teeth and squeeze out the last trace of lightning power.

“Lightning Shield!”

Purple lightning condensed into a shield in front of him.

Bang!

A loud noise.

The Lightning Shield shattered instantly.

The huge impact sent Tang Si flying over ten meters, slamming heavily into the tent's frame.

“Pfft!”

Tang Si spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

“It's over...”

Watching the rhinoceros leader charging over again, a trace of despair flashed in Tang Si's eyes.

Was he really going to die here today?

Die at the hands of a bunch of beasts?

Just when that single horn was less than a meter away from Tang Si.

A black shadow descended from the sky.

There were no fancy moves.

Nor were there any earth-shattering fluctuations of spiritual power.

Only a simple, direct, yet extremely fast cold light.

Swish!

The arrogant rhinoceros leader suddenly froze in its movements.

It maintained its charging posture, momentum carrying it sliding to in front of Tang Si.

Then.

Clatter.

Its iron-hard head was actually split cleanly down the middle, as if cutting tofu.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror.

Blood didn't even have time to spray out.

Tang Si widened his eyes, looking at the back standing in front of him.

Lin Fan.

At this moment, Lin Fan was not holding any divine weapon.

But rather... a greasy, even slightly rusty bone-chopping knife.

The handle was wrapped in a rag, and the blade was thick and wide; it looked exactly like something used for slaughtering pigs at a wet market.

[Butcher's Bone-Chopping Knife (C-rank)]

[Specialty: Deals true damage to beast-type creatures, ignoring a portion of physical defense.]

[Note: This is a knife with a soul; it craves blood and even more, it craves the perfect cut.]

This was something from a blind box Lin Fan had just casually opened.

Although the rank wasn't high, it was an absolute artifact for dealing with these thick-skinned guys.

“Young Master Tang, can you still move?”

Lin Fan asked without turning his head.

His voice was calm, with no hint of tension.

“Cough, cough... Not dead yet.”

Tang Si wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to stand up.

“That's good.”

Lin Fan shook the blood droplets off the knife.

Within his eyes, the golden Eye of True Sight was operating at full power.

In his vision, the hundreds of Ironclad Rhinoceros before him were no longer terrifying monsters.

But piles of walking lines and weaknesses.

The texture of every muscle, the connection point of every bone, and even the path of every blood vessel were clearly visible.

“Since I've taken the money, I have to show a little after-sales service.”

“Watch closely, Young Master Tang.”

“This move is called ‘Cook Ding Dismembers the Ox’.”

Before the words had even faded.

Lin Fan's figure disappeared.

He didn't use any movement techniques, relying solely on his physical strength and perfect control of timing.

He was like a swimming fish, sliding into the surging beast tide.

“Moo!”

A rhinoceros lowered its head to charge.

Lin Fan sidestepped, his footwork shifting slightly, just perfectly avoiding the sharpness of the horn.

The bone-chopping knife in his hand slashed along with the momentum.

Sizzle.

The blade precisely cut into a soft spot where the armor plates on the rhinoceros's neck connected.

A flick of his wrist, and the blade turned along the muscle fibers.

The rhinoceros's massive body instantly went limp; the cervical spinal nerves were severed.

Killed in one strike.

But this was just the beginning.

Lin Fan's figure wove through the herd, the bone-chopping knife in his hand turning into a blur.

While killing, he was actually muttering to himself.

And the voice was clearly transmitted throughout the entire field through that large megaphone.

“Watch carefully, this rhinoceros has an old injury on its left front leg joint; just a light flick, and it's crippled.”

Pfft!

A rhinoceros fell to its knees.

“This piece of tenderloin has good texture; cutting it off is worth at least ten points, don't ruin it.”

Swish!

A large piece of bright red meat flew out, and Lin Fan caught it casually, tossing it into the system space.

“This horn is of average quality, only worth fifty points, just hack it off.”

Clang!

A rhinoceros horn was severed at the root.

The originally bloody and cruel battlefield, under Lin Fan's commentary, had a sudden change in atmosphere.

It was as if they weren't fighting for their lives, but attending a vivid open class on “Exotic Beast Anatomy and Ingredient Processing.”

The surrounding students were dumbfounded.

Their hands gripping their daggers were trembling.

Not out of fear, but out of shock.

That absolute control over power, that ease of walking in a courtyard in the midst of chaos.

Is this really something a Martial Master Second Stage could do?

Even Tang Si, who was already a Grandmaster Level, was watching with his jaw dropped.

He asked himself if he were in his prime, he could also kill his way through this group of rhinoceros.

But he absolutely couldn't do it as effortlessly as Lin Fan, without even a drop of blood splashing on him.

Every strike was just right, not a fraction more, not a fraction less.

Is this... Lin Fan's strength?

“What are you all standing there for?”

Lin Fan kicked a rhinoceros corpse flying and turned to roar.

“Waiting for me to feed you?”

“I've already disrupted their formation and marked their weaknesses for you!”

“Those who want to make money, those who want to eat meat, get at them!”

“These are all points!”

Lin Fan's words once again ignited everyone's greed.

Fear receded, replaced by a desire for profit.

“Kill! Grab the points!”

“That hind leg is mine!”

“Brother Fan is awesome! Take me to the top!”

The students charged up, howling.

With Lin Fan as the spearhead attracting fire, and aided by those bizarre items, the originally one-sided situation was instantly reversed.

This was no longer a slaughter.

But a carnival.

A hunting carnival belonging to Lin Fan and his “hired hands.”

...

In the distance.

Above the cliff.

“Snap!”

The binoculars in Onizuka's hands were crushed by him.

The lenses pierced through his gloves and dug into his flesh, blood streaming down.

But he seemed not to feel the pain.

His eyes were fixed on that figure slaughtering in all directions within the herd, his eyeballs almost popping out.

“Baka! Baka! Baka!”

Onizuka was shaking with rage, cursing frantically.

The beast tide he had meticulously planned.

The beast-luring powder he had spent a fortune to buy.

It should have been a perfect slaughter, a nightmare that would make the geniuses of the Dragon Kingdom despair.

And the result?

What has it become now?

It became Lin Fan's personal show!

It became his raw material procurement site!

Watching the Ironclad Rhinoceros falling one by one, Onizuka's heart was bleeding.
