135: Chapter 135 Is this the foundation of your Beijing Martial Arts University? You poor bastards!

The entire scene was filled only with the sound of people gasping.

These proud sons of heaven from Beijing Martial Arts University, who were usually so high and mighty, were now lining up, trembling as they took out their belongings.

"Brother Fan! This is my storage ring. Inside are two hundred mid-grade spirit stones, and also a peace talisman my grandmother prayed for me to have; take it all!"

"Master Lin! This blade of mine is forged from A-grade alloy; please kindly accept it!"

"I... I have no money left on me. If you don't mind, please take this Level 3 fire-fleece inner armor!"

Dozens of people scrambled to pile their belongings at Lin Fan's feet.

They were terrified that if they were even a second late, they would be forcibly dragged off by this monster, who wasn't even afraid of being struck by lightning, to "scrub his back."

Lin Fan squatted on the ground, casually rummaging through the small pile of scrap metal in front of him.

The disdain on his face was practically overflowing.

"Seriously, is this the kind of junk Beijing Martial Arts University usually gives you?"

"You actually have the nerve to bring out two hundred mid-grade spirit stones? Are you trying to brush off a beggar?"

"And this broken A-grade blade, the edge is all rolled. I wouldn't even use it to cut a watermelon because it's not sharp enough!"

"This inner armor even smells like body odor! Take it away quickly! Don't dirty my hands!"

While cursing and swearing, Lin Fan unceremoniously swept all the slightly valuable spirit herbs, monster cores, and spirit stones into his system space.

As for the trashy equipment, he couldn't even be bothered to look at it.

The students from Beijing Martial Arts University were all blushing with shame, heads bowed, not daring to let out even a fart.

Their hearts were bitter.

Who would bring their entire net worth with them to participate in an S-rank secret realm trial?

They had only brought life-saving pills and weapons they were comfortable using.

But now, it had all been looted by this bandit.

After collecting the toll, Lin Fan turned his head to look at Long Xiaotian, who was still kneeling on the ground, questioning his life.

This Level 5 Peak Martial King had hollow eyes, and drool was streaming down the corner of his mouth; clearly, his Dao heart had completely shattered.

Lin Fan walked over and kicked Long Xiaotian's bald head.

"Don't play dead!"

"As the leader, you have to bleed a little more, right?"

"Hurry up, hand over all the valuable things you have on you!"

Kicked back to his senses, Long Xiaotian raised his head, looking at Lin Fan with a face full of humiliation.

"Lin Fan... don't go too far..."

"A gentleman would rather die than be humiliated!"

"I, Long Xiaotian, would rather die, even if I jumped down from here, than suffer any more of your insults!"

Lin Fan was amused.

This bald guy actually had some backbone.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped Long Xiaotian right across his big face.

Slap!

The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the stone forest.

Half of Long Xiaotian's face instantly swelled up like a pig's head, and a few bloody teeth flew out.

"Cut the crap!"

"Why didn't you say I was going too far when you were striking me with lightning earlier?"

"If my body wasn't tough, there wouldn't even be ashes left of me by now!"

"Hand over the money now! Otherwise, I'll strip you naked today and hang you on a tree, letting all the beasts in the secret realm come and admire the majestic posture of Beijing Martial Arts University's number one genius!"

Upon hearing that he would be stripped naked and hung on a tree, Long Xiaotian trembled all over.

He chickened out.

He was someone who cared extremely about his face; if Lin Fan really did that to him, he wouldn't be able to show his face in the ability world anymore and might as well just find a block of tofu to bash his head in.

Gritting his teeth, Long Xiaotian trembling hands removed the space ring from his finger and handed it to Lin Fan.

"This is my entire net worth... inside are three Level 5 Monster cores, and a bearer gold card with five million federal credits..."

Lin Fan snatched the ring and swept his mental energy inside.

He immediately grinned.

"Oh my, as expected of a Level 5 Martial King, your stash is much richer than those poor wretches."

"Alright, seeing as you're so sensible, this matter is considered water under the bridge for today."

"Take your lackeys and get lost!"

"Remember, next time you want to hit me, remember to prepare the medical expenses in advance!"

Lin Fan waved his hand, directly deactivating the [Taunt Aura].

The eerie feeling that had been pressing down on everyone's hearts instantly vanished.

The students from Beijing Martial Arts University felt as if they had been granted amnesty; they rushed over to prop up the limp Long Xiaotian and scrambled out of the stone forest.

They ran so fast they even lost their shoes along the way.

Watching their fleeing backs, Lin Fan clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Job done!"

At this moment, Xia Wanqiu and Murong Yan, who had been hiding behind, cautiously stepped forward.

Xia Wanqiu's large eyes scanned Lin Fan up and down, her face full of worry.

"Brother Fan, are you really okay?"

"That lightning bolt just now was so thick, it scared me to death."

As she spoke, Xia Wanqiu raised her staff to cast a Healing Spell on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan quickly reached out to stop her.

"No, no, no!"

"Class monitor, you absolutely must not heal me!"

"I finally got myself all tingly and numb from the shock, and it feels great; if you heal me now, it will all have been for nothing!"

Lin Fan's clothes were now reduced to tattered rags from the lightning strike.

They could barely cover his key areas.

Large patches of bronze skin were exposed to the air, with charred marks left behind by the lightning.

Yet, his muscle lines were extremely well-defined, full of explosive power.

Coupled with his current cheeky expression.

The contrast was maxed out.

Murong Yan crossed her arms, her gaze sweeping back and forth over Lin Fan's well-defined abs, and she even unconsciously licked her lips.

"Tsk tsk."

"Lin Fan, what on earth is your skin made of?"

"Long Xiaotian's ultimate attack, which burned his vital blood, didn't even hurt a single hair on you?"

"Could you be a Level 6 Beast wearing human skin?"

Lin Fan puffed out his chest and deliberately flexed his pectoral muscles.

"Senior, you don't understand."

"This is called being naturally gifted!"

"If you're curious, come to my room tonight, and I'll let you touch it yourself to see what it's made of."

Murong Yan rolled her eyes in annoyance, but a suspicious blush appeared on her face.

This kid was becoming more and more brazen.

However, the back Lin Fan presented while blocking in front of them earlier was indeed quite reassuring.

Especially that abnormal Defense capability that could handle any attack with ease.

It stirred an extremely strong desire for conquest in a woman like Murong Yan, who worshipped violence in her bones.

She really wanted to know what kind of attack could make this pervert cry out in pain.

"Stop with the glib talk!"

"Hurry up and change your clothes!"

"Running around naked, if you aren't embarrassed, I find it an eyesore!"

Murong Yan rummaged through her storage ring, pulled out a spare black combat suit, and threw it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan caught it and casually slipped it on.

This combat suit was a tight-fitting style; worn on Lin Fan, it was taut, outlining his perfect physique to the fullest.

He patted his stomach in satisfaction and opened his system panel.

That mixed doubles match earlier, plus Long Xiaotian's ultimate electrotherapy.

It simply made him rake in a fortune.

[Defense Level: LV35 (85000/100000)]

[Lightning Resistance LV3: Significantly reduces lightning attribute damage. When receiving a lightning attribute attack, there is a chance to trigger a Lightning Paralysis effect to counterattack the enemy!]

"Only 15,000 experience points left until Level 36."

"This secret realm is simply my blessed land!"

Lin Fan's eyes lit up, staring at the thick fog deeper in the abyss.

After making such a huge commotion, it should theoretically have attracted more monsters.

Why was it so quiet now that you could hear a pin drop?

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon.

Lin Fan was just pondering whether to take out his megaphone and shout a few more times.

Suddenly.

The ground of the entire abyss began to shake violently without warning.

Rumble!

This vibration was not an earthquake.

It was something extremely massive, drilling its way up from underground!

Clatter!

The black fog in the distance was being crazily torn apart by an invisible pair of giant hands, forming a huge vortex.

An extremely pungent smell of sulfur and a thick scent of blood rushed towards them.

The Iron-Armored Demon Wolves and Bloodthirsty Demon Apes that hadn't died yet were all letting out whimpers of extreme terror.

They didn't even have the courage to run away, simply lying on the ground, trembling and losing control of their bowels.

"What's happening?"

Murong Yan's expression became grave to the extreme in an instant; she drew her longsword and shielded Xia Wanqiu behind her.

She had only ever felt this level of pressure from her sister, Rakshasa!

It was even more violent than Rakshasa!

Boom!

A large pit with a diameter of several dozen meters suddenly exploded open in the ground ahead.

Countless rock fragments shot into the sky.

Immediately after, a terrifying creature over thirty meters tall, covered in dark red magma armor, slowly crawled out from underground.

This was an [Abyssal Demon]!

A Level 6 early-stage lord-level beast!

It had a torso similar to a human's, but two huge curved horns grew on its head, and a pair of tattered bat wings were on its back.

The most terrifying thing was its hands.

They were literally two giant scythes burning with hellfire.

"Roar—!"

The Abyssal Demon let out a roar towards the sky.

Visible sound waves mixed with flames spread crazily in all directions.

The surrounding stone pillars turned into powder the moment they touched these sound waves.

The terrifying high temperature even caused the air to distort and deform.

"A... A Level 6 lord-level beast!"

Xia Wanqiu was so scared she could barely hold her staff steady, her face deathly pale.

She never imagined that they would encounter a monster of this level so soon after entering the secret realm.

This was absolutely not the difficulty a student trial should have!

Murong Yan's scalp was also tingling.

"Damn it!"

"It must be that Long Xiaotian's attack earlier made too much noise and woke up this lord in the depths of the abyss!"

"Lin Fan! Retreat quickly!"

"A Level 6 lord is not something we can handle!"

Murong Yan grabbed Lin Fan's arm, pulling him to run back.

A Level 6 Beast and a Level 5 beast are completely different concepts.

Let alone one that is lord-level.

For this kind of monster, even an average Level 6 Martial Saint would have to take a detour!

However, Lin Fan stood rooted to the spot, not moving an inch.

His eyes were fixed tightly on the Abyssal Demon emitting terrifying pressure.

The smile on the corner of his mouth not only didn't fade but became increasingly arrogant.

"Retreat?"

"Senior, what kind of joke are you making!"

"Such a big experience pack is delivering itself to my door, and you want me to run?"

"Isn't that a waste of good things!"

Lin Fan shook off Murong Yan's hand; instead of retreating, he strode towards the Abyssal Demon.

As he walked, he pulled out the megaphone from his crotch that hadn't been destroyed by the lightning.

He skillfully pressed the play button.

"Hajimi yo~ Nanbei ludou~"

The passionate (maybe passionate...?) BGM blasted through the stone forest once again.
