109: Chapter 109 Getting Stronger Even While Sleeping! It's Like a Second System!

"Are you… alright?" Luo Sha asked tentatively.

She watched as the inner armor embedded itself deep into Lin Fan's flesh, blood trickling down the edges; it looked painful just to watch.

Yet the expression on this guy's face looked for all the world like he was enjoying it.

"I'm fine, what could possibly be wrong?"

Lin Fan even twisted his waist to let those spikes dig in deeper.

"Ouch, this part didn't pierce through earlier, but it's good now."

"Big Sister Principal, do you have any more like this?"

"Like a helmet that carries an electric charge? Or shoes that double gravity when you put them on?"

"I'm not picky, the more twisted, the better."

Luo Sha: "…"

She took a deep breath, feeling as though her worldview was being reshaped.

"That's all."

"Having one piece of this twisted gear is absurd enough."

"And you want to pick two more."

"Hurry up, pick them and get out. I don't want to see you like this; it's an eyesore."

Luo Sha turned around, refusing to look at this human masochist.

Lin Fan chuckled. Since there were no more artifacts of the same kind, he would just pick something practical.

He took a stroll around the treasury.

In the end, he chose a ring and a greatsword.

The ring was called the [Gravity Ring]. After putting it on, one could adjust the gravity multiplier on themselves, up to ten times.

This was originally auxiliary equipment for body cultivators to train their bodies, but for Lin Fan, it was also a great item for grinding experience.

The greatsword was called [Mountain Crusher]. It had no fancy special effects, just one word: Heavy!

It weighed a full three thousand catties!

It was forged from deep-sea black iron and was incredibly hard.

Lin Fan's current attacking methods were still too monotonous; aside from taking skills with his face, it was just Wild Charge.

With this greatsword, if he encountered anyone who didn't know better in the future, he could just smack them with it. Even if it didn't kill them, it would smash them into a meat patty.

"Are you done picking?"

Seeing Lin Fan holding the greatsword, which was as big as a door plank, Luo Sha nodded.

Although this kid's attack power was low, his physical strength seemed quite high; he was actually able to lift Mountain Crusher with one hand.

"If you're done, then leave."

"Oh right, since you like getting beaten up so much."

"Gather at the playground at eight tonight."

"Instructor Lei Zhan, Professor Zhao Wuji, Instructor Liu Ruyan, and Vice Principal Martial Saint Han Qingshan will all be waiting for you there."

"They have been bottling up their anger and are prepared to 'guide' you properly."

A gloating smile curled the corners of Luo Sha's lips.

"I hope you'll still be able to chirp so happily by then."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's eyes instantly turned into two searchlights.

"Really?!"

"Four Level 6 Martial Saints coming at me together?"

"That's too kind of you!"

"Big Sister Principal, what about you? Aren't you coming?"

"I want to see if the fists of a Level 7 Martial Emperor are soft…"

Bang!!

Before Lin Fan could finish his sentence, his entire body flew backward like a cannonball.

He smashed directly into the wall of the treasury, stuck so firmly he couldn't be pried out.

Luo Sha retracted her long, slender leg and let out a cold snort.

"That is the strength of a Level 7 Martial Emperor."

"Does it feel good?"

From within the wall came Lin Fan's weak but excited voice.

"It feels good…"

"Defense… +1000…"

"Cough, cough… If you could have aimed a bit lower… and kicked my kidneys… that would have been even better…"

Veins popped on Luo Sha's forehead.

Get lost! Get out immediately!

…

After leaving the principal's office, Lin Fan felt as if his whole being had sublimated.

Although he had been kicked once and two ribs were broken.

That [ascetics shackles] was truly powerful.

Even when walking, breathing, or just standing still, the system notification sound in his mind never stopped.

This was the legendary one-experience-per-second system!

At this speed, even if he did nothing and just lay there sleeping, he could gain—one times two is two, one times three is three, one times four is… 86,400!

86,400 experience points a day!

It was simply wonderful.

He returned to that luxurious villa dormitory.

Xia Wanqiu and Murong Yan were helping him tidy up the room.

Seeing Lin Fan return covered in blood, wearing a spiked iron vest, both girls were stunned.

"Lin Fan! Did you go and self-mutilate?!"

Xia Wanqiu was on the verge of tears, the rag in her hand dropping.

Murong Yan was also shocked.

"Is this… the ascetics shackles?"

"That legendary suicide artifact?"

"You actually put it on? And you're still alive?"

Lin Fan waved his hand, looking calm.

"Basic operation, don't be surprised."

"This is called moving forward under a load, understand?"

"Only by being harsh on yourself can you survive in this cruel world."

"Oh right, make more meat for dinner, I'm hungry."

"There's still a tough battle to fight tonight."

Looking at Lin Fan's carefree appearance, the two girls exchanged glances, feeling both heartbroken and helpless.

This guy. To get stronger, he really didn't even want his life anymore.

…

Night fell. The playground of Magic City Ability University was brightly lit.

Although it was already night, the area around the playground was packed with people.

Surrounded three layers inside and three layers outside, it was impenetrable.

Even the roofs of the surrounding teaching buildings were filled with onlookers.

Because everyone had heard. That new F-Rank Talent top scorer, Lin Fan, known as the "Strongest Tank." Tonight, he was going to challenge the school's four strongest warriors! Oh no, it was a one-sided beating!

"Have you heard? This kid withstood a Level 6 Beast in the Crimson Gobi!"

"Bragging, right? Can an F-Rank Talent have that kind of ability?"

"I also think it's hype; probably just good luck."

"Regardless of whether it's hype or not, we'll know the truth tonight."

"Tsk tsk, with Professor Zhao Wuji's explosive temper, this kid is probably going to be beaten until he craps his pants tonight."

Amidst the discussions. In the center of the playground. Instructor Lei Zhan, Professor Zhao Wuji, Instructor Liu Ruyan, and Martial Saint Han Qingshan—four Level 6 Martial Saints stood in a row. Their auras were fully unleashed, filled with pressure.

And opposite them. Lin Fan wore that blood-stained spiked armor, carrying the door-sized greatsword, with a toothpick hanging from his mouth. He looked completely cavalier.

"Good evening, teachers."

"Have you eaten?"

"If you haven't eaten your fill, don't have no energy when we start fighting later."

Professor Zhao Wuji had a fiery temper, and upon hearing this, he exploded on the spot.

His rock-like muscles bulged violently, and his S-Rank Talent [Titan Strength] activated instantly.

His whole person seemed to transform into an ancient giant beast.

"Kid!"

"I think your skin is itching and you're looking for a beating!"

"In the Crimson Gobi, it was to save you, so I didn't dare to use lethal force."

"Tonight at school, there's a medical team standing by."

"I'm going to beat you until even your mother won't recognize you!!"

Boom!! The ground beneath Professor Zhao Wuji's feet instantly shattered.

He launched himself like a cannonball, with the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, punching toward Lin Fan's face.

This punch held nothing back! A full-force blow from a Level 6 Martial Saint!

The surrounding students screamed in terror.

It's over! If this lands, his head would probably explode like a watermelon, right?

However. Not only did Lin Fan not dodge, but he opened his arms, closed his eyes, and revealed an expression of extreme enjoyment. He even leaned his face forward.

"Come on!"

"Harder!!"
