108: Chapter 108 Don't humiliate me with this trash! I want the most painful punishment!

The principal's office.

The decor was magnificent; the floor was covered with a fur rug from a Level 4 demonic beast, and the walls were adorned with authentic calligraphy from a Grandmaster-level calligrapher.

In front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window.

A woman wearing a red qipao stood with her back to the door, holding a glass of red wine, gazing at the campus scenery outside.

That silhouette was graceful and curvaceous, with stunning lines.

Just looking at that silhouette was enough to make one imagine a million-word saga of love and hatred.

"You're back?"

The woman's voice was languid and magnetic.

She slowly turned around.

A face that was stunningly beautiful yet carried endless majesty appeared before Lin Fan.

Rakshasa.

The principal of Magic City Ability University, a Level 7 Martial Emperor.

She was also Murong Yan's sister.

The genes in this family are truly incredible.

"Hello, Principal sister!"

Lin Fan immediately put on an obedient expression, smiling like a blooming flower.

"I heard you're going to give me a reward? Is it the one where I can pick whatever I want from the treasure vault?"

Rakshasa looked at the brat with a cheeky grin in front of her, a flash of helplessness appearing in her eyes.

"That's right."

Rakshasa put down her wine glass and walked over to Lin Fan.

A terrifying pressure instantly descended.

That was the aura belonging to an Emperor-level powerhouse!

If it were an ordinary Level 1 Martial Apprentice, they would have already wet their pants in fear.

But Lin Fan?

Not only was he not afraid, but he even squinted his eyes comfortably, and even leaned in a bit closer.

"Hmm... this aura, it's quite potent."

"It's just like getting a full-body spa."

"Principal sister, can you make it a bit more intense? Preferably with a bit of killing intent?"

The corner of Rakshasa's mouth twitched slightly.

He really is a pervert.

She withdrew her aura and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"Stop with the glib tongue."

"Follow me."

Rakshasa waved her jade hand, and the office wall suddenly split open, revealing a hidden elevator.

The two stepped into the elevator and descended thirty floors underground.

"Ding—"

The elevator door opened.

A massive underground treasure vault appeared before Lin Fan.

It was filled with a dazzling array of equipment and weapons.

Blades, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

Each piece radiated powerful energy fluctuations.

There were even many top-tier pieces of equipment shimmering with purple and golden light!

"This is the school's No. 1 treasure vault. Everything collected inside consists of quality items donated by past alumni or brought back from ruins."

Rakshasa gestured at the equipment, her tone overbearing.

"You can pick any three items."

"I suggest you pick a handy weapon and a set of armor with high Defense."

"After all, your... masochistic combat style still requires some means of self-preservation."

Lin Fan's eyes scanned the treasure vault.

This sword is sharp, sure, but it's too light and lacks feel.

That shield looks pretty thick, but it actually has shock absorption? Trash!

What I want is vibration! Pain! How can I farm passives if it absorbs shocks?

Lin Fan walked along, shaking his head the whole time.

Rakshasa followed behind, her brows knitting tighter and tighter.

"What? You don't like any of these?"

"This is a purple-quality 'Flowing Light Sword' that can cut through iron like mud!"

"That's a golden-quality 'Earth Shield' that can withstand a full-force strike from a Martial Sect!"

"Isn't your taste a bit too high, kid?"

Lin Fan stopped, turned around, and looked at Rakshasa with a disappointed face.

"Principal sister."

"You're kind of insulting me here."

"Am I the type of person who needs protection?"

"What I want is something... that can make me hurt! That can torture me! Preferably equipment that amplifies damage from demonic beasts when worn!"

"Are there any cursed items here? Or ones with side effects?"

"Like ones that drain HP every second, or ones that get you struck by lightning the moment you put them on?"

Rakshasa was stunned.

She had lived for over thirty years and had seen countless geniuses.

Some wanted the sharpest sword, some wanted the sturdiest shield.

But this was the first time she had ever encountered someone who actively asked for cursed equipment!

Are you tired of living?

"Are you... sure?" Rakshasa looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Very sure and certain!" Lin Fan's eyes were burning with enthusiasm.

Rakshasa took a deep breath, calming the urge to hit someone.

"Fine."

"Since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish."

She led Lin Fan to the very corner of the vault.

There was a dusty shelf there.

On the shelf, sitting all alone, was a black, extremely ferocious-looking inner armor.

This inner armor was covered in spikes, and those spikes were actually... growing inward!

In other words, once you put this thing on, those spikes would pierce into your flesh!

Just looking at it made one's scalp tingle, and phantom pains even started to emerge.

"This thing is called 'ascetics shackles'."

Rakshasa introduced it, her tone laced with a hint of wariness.

"It was brought out from an S-rank ruin."

"Its Defense is terrifying, reaching the level of a red-tier divine artifact."

"But... it has a fatal side effect."

"That is, once worn, the inner spikes will pierce into the user's skin, constantly connecting to the pain nerves."

"It will keep you in excruciating pain every moment, and it will also slowly devour your vitality."

"A Level 5 Martial King once tried to master it, but he ended up going into shock from the pain in less than three minutes, and went insane after waking up."

"Since then, it has become trash that nobody wants."

"If you..."

Rakshasa hadn't finished her sentence.

She saw Lin Fan pounce on it like a hungry dog seeing a meaty bone.

He grabbed the spike-covered inner armor.

That look in his eyes was even more obsessive than if he had seen a peerless beauty!

"Treasure! This is the real treasure!"

"In pain every moment? And it can devour vitality?"

"This is simply a divine artifact tailor-made for me!"

Lin Fan was so excited his hands were shaking.

Constant pain meant a steady stream of EXP!

Devour vitality?

I have [Pain Conversion] and [Indestructible Divine Body], plus my massive tens of thousands of points of Defense; it would be good if it could even drain one drop of blood at a time!

"Sigh, I guess it won't be that painful, whatever, I'll take it."

Lin Fan didn't say another word and immediately tried to put it on.

"Are you crazy?!"

Rakshasa wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

Lin Fan swiftly took off his shirt, revealing his toned upper body, and then slammed the spike-covered inner armor onto himself!

Puchi!

That was the sound of spikes entering flesh.

Blood instantly stained the black armor red.

Rakshasa instinctively closed her eyes, unable to bear watching the tragic scene that would follow.

However.

The expected screams did not appear.

Instead, there was a groan that gave people goosebumps.

"Ah~"

"Damn it!"

"Awesome! So awesome!"

"This refreshing pain, I can't believe it!"

Lin Fan looked intoxicated, his whole body trembling, as if he had just done something indescribable.

In his mind, the system's notification sounds rang out crazily like a spam feed.

[Sustained piercing pain damage received! Defense + 1! Defense + 1! Defense + 1...]

[Vitality loss detected! Pain Conversion activated! All stats + 20%!]

[Divine Body self-healing activated! Repairing damaged tissue...]

Pain and happiness.

This was the true portrayal of Lin Fan right now.

This piece of "trash" that nobody wanted had, in his hands, turned into a fully automatic AFK leveling cheat!

Although it was better than nothing.

But at least one point of Defense EXP per second, it was practically a second system.

One EXP per second!

Rakshasa opened her eyes and looked at Lin Fan, who was enjoying himself, and she was completely bewildered.

She suddenly felt.

Recruiting this pervert into the school...

Was that the wrong decision?

This is just too terrifying!
