101: Chapter 101 Now it's Grandpa's turn to return the favor!

On the other side of the battlefield, Professor Zhao Wuji remained in his punching stance, frozen in place.

The sensation of the recoil from striking Lin Fan still lingered on his fist.

Looking at the dust filling the sky, this three-meter-tall giant was, at this moment, somewhat at a loss.

"I... did I use too much force?"

Professor Zhao Wuji's voice was trembling.

That punch just now, combined with the Red Scorpion King's death ray—this was a pincer attack!

Even if he were made of iron, he would have been blasted to smithereens, right?

Martial Saint Han Qingshan and Instructor Lei Zhan were also deathly pale.

"It's over..."

The thunder blade in Instructor Lei Zhan's hand clattered to the ground.

"With this kind of power... even a Level 7 Martial Emperor might not be able to escape unscathed."

"We... we killed him."

Instructor Liu Ruyan's knuckles were white as she gripped her sword, her beautiful eyes filled with regret.

"I shouldn't have gone along with his madness..."

"He's only eighteen years old..."

A feeling called despair began to spread among the four Level 6 Martial Saints.

If Lin Fan died, it would not only mean the tragic loss of a peerless genius, but it would also mean there was no one left to hold back this overwhelming beast tide!

The four of them simply couldn't stop the charge of the Red Scorpion King and those tens of thousands of beasts!

The freshman camp was finished.

"Hiss—!!!" The Red Scorpion King let out a triumphant hiss.

It was very satisfied with the power of its strike.

That damned human ant actually dared to flip the middle finger at the great Red Scorpion King?

It was probably already reduced to nothing but dust!

It moved its massive legs, preparing to step over the crater to slaughter the remaining humans.

However, just when everyone had fallen into despair, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from within the billowing dust.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The voice was weak and hoarse.

But at this very moment, to everyone's ears, it sounded like the music of heaven!

Professor Zhao Wuji widened his bull-like eyes, looking toward the center of the dust in disbelief.

"Wh... what the f*ck?!" "Am I hallucinating? Old Han, did you hear that?"

Martial Saint Han Qingshan also shuddered, staring fixedly ahead. "I heard it too!"

A breeze blew by. The dust filling the sky slowly dissipated, revealing the scene inside.

The once level ground had now become a deep crater dozens of meters in diameter.

And right in the center of the deep crater, a figure stood upright like a javelin!

It was Lin Fan!

But his current appearance was miserable to the extreme.

His clothes had long since vanished completely, leaving only a few rags hanging around his waist.

His once sturdy body looked as if it had been soaked in a pool of strong acid.

His skin was ulcerated over a large area and charred black.

The area around his chest was even more terrifying. The flesh there had completely disappeared, revealing stark white bones!

One could even see his heart beating violently through the gaps in his ribs!

Fresh blood flowed down his body, pooling into a puddle at his feet.

"Hiss..." Seeing this scene, everyone gasped.

These injuries... if it were an ordinary person, they probably would have died a hundred times over!

But he was still standing! And not only was he standing, but his face still wore that iconic, punchable grin!

"Pah!" Lin Fan spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of internal organs.

He raised his hand, which had been burned to a crisp, and casually wiped the bloodstains off his face.

Then he lifted his head and looked at the massive Red Scorpion King not far away. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained teeth.

"Is that it?" "Is this the ultimate technique of a Level 6 Beast?" "Can't you put some effort into it?" "It's not even as strong as me scrubbing in the bath!"

Silence! A deathly silence! Whether on the human side or the beast side, everyone was petrified at this moment.

Is this something a carbon-based lifeform can actually say?!

Your chest has been blasted through! Your bones are exposed! You call this scrubbing in the bath?!

"Lin Fan..." In the distance, Xia Wanqiu saw this scene, covered her mouth, and cried even harder. But this time, it was tears of joy.

"He didn't die... wuwuwu... this bastard didn't die..."

Murong Yan also let out a long sigh of relief, leaning against Xia Wanqiu as if she had collapsed from exhaustion.

Looking at that bloodied and mangled figure, her eyes became complicated in a way they never had before. Shock, heartache, and a trace of admiration she hadn't even noticed herself.

"Is this guy... really a human?"

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, although Lin Fan was talking tough, he was actually cursing inwardly.

"That f*cking hurts!" "Damn! Is this the attack power of a Level 6 Beast?"

"If I hadn't chosen [Absolute Resistance] just now, which reduced damage by 60%..." "Plus my LV30 Defense of over ten thousand..." "This hit really would have sent me to meet my great-grandmother!"

Lin Fan glanced at his system panel. Although the system didn't display a health bar, he could feel that he had lost at least half of his vitality!

This was the most severe injury he had suffered since transmigrating! The deep, bone-marrow-piercing pain made all his muscles spasm.

[Received attack from Level 6 Beast Red Scorpion King's Poison Death Ray! Defense + 2000! Poison Resistance + 500! Light Attribute Resistance + 300!]

[Host detected to have sustained heavy injuries!] [Passive skill [Pain Conversion LV2] activated!] [Pain sensation reduced by 80%! Adrenaline surge! All attributes temporarily increased by 20%!]

[Host's vital signs detected to be dropping! Passive skill [Spirit Feedback LV1] effect triggered!] [Consuming mental power to repair body...]

As the system's notification sound rang out, a warm current instantly flowed through his entire body. The heart-wrenching pain from before had actually lessened significantly.

In its place was an extreme excitement! It was the pleasure brought by the surge of adrenaline!

Lin Fan felt that his current state was simply fantastic! Although his body was battered and broken, strength was surging out continuously!

"Damn it!" Lin Fan couldn't help but roar. This roar was full of vigor; did he look anything like a dying man?

For the first time, fear appeared in the Red Scorpion King's six compound eyes. It couldn't understand. Why hadn't this tiny human died after being hit by its ultimate technique? And why had his aura actually become even stronger? This wasn't scientific!

"Hey! Big scorpion!" Lin Fan loosened his neck, which made a "crack, crack" sound.

He stepped forward slowly, walking out of the deep crater. With every step he took, the bloodstain on the ground lengthened. But his momentum was climbing steadily!

LV30 Defense! Plus the all-attribute increase brought by [Pain Conversion]! Although Lin Fan currently only possessed the aura of a Level 1 Martial Apprentice, the oppression he gave off was in no way inferior to a Martial King!

He raised that charred hand and pointed at the Red Scorpion King. His tone was arrogant to the extreme.

"That blast just now was the greeting gift you gave Grandpa." "Now, it's time for Grandpa to return the favor, isn't it?"

After saying this, Lin Fan took a deep breath. [Taunt Aura LV3], activate!

[Taunt Aura LV3: Taunt range expanded to a radius of 100 meters! Taunt effect doubled! And has a certain chance to make the target enter a Weakened state!] [Weakened buff: Reduces strength by 50%!]
