17: Chapter 17 Class Monitor, I want to drink milk!

The Iron-Armored Violent Bear saw that the human who had been buzzing around like a fly had finally stopped.

It was so excited that snot bubbles sprayed out of its nose.

"Die! Insect!"

It raised its paws high, preparing to deliver a crushing blow.

Meanwhile, the dozens of small monsters surrounding them swarmed in, blocking Lin Fan's path completely.

It looked like Lin Fan was about to be submerged in the beast tide.

At this critical moment, a gentle green light suddenly flew over from the distance, landing precisely on Lin Fan's head.

Under the nourishment of this green light, his wounds, which had been bleeding, instantly stopped bleeding and scabbed over.

Even his broken bones were healing at a rapid pace.

Lin Fan felt a warm sensation all over his body, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.

He looked back and saw Xia Wanqiu standing on a large tree branch dozens of meters away, holding a magic staff, her face slightly pale.

That was her B-Grade Talent [Life Healing]!

Because the distance was too great and Lin Fan's injuries were too severe, this one Healing Spell had drained almost one-fifth of her spiritual power.

"Classmate Lin Fan! Run! I can only help you this much!" Xia Wanqiu shouted with a sobbing tone.

She truly couldn't bear to watch Lin Fan die there.

Lin Fan looked at the anxious girl, and his heart stirred slightly.

Nowadays, anyone who dared to step in and save someone at a time like this was true love... Oh no, that was a truly good person!

Lin Fan grinned at Xia Wanqiu, revealing teeth still stained with blood, and then blew a flamboyant kiss.

"Thanks, Class Monitor! Your healing output is very strong!"

Xia Wanqiu's face flushed red at that remark.

What kind of talk was that!

"You... be serious!" Xia Wanqiu stomped her feet in embarrassment.

But the next second, her heart leaped into her throat because the Iron-Armored Violent Bear's paw had already come crashing down!

"Boom!!!"

This time, Lin Fan did not dodge, nor did he deflect the force.

Relying on his newly increased Defense Level and the buffs from [Pain Conversion], he took the blow squarely on his shoulder!

The ground instantly cracked, and dust filled the air.

Everyone thought Lin Fan was doomed this time.

However, when the dust settled, Lin Fan was still standing there.

Although his legs had sunk half a meter into the ground and his shoulder was slightly collapsed, he had not been sent flying!

He had actually withstood a blow from a Level 2 Lord!

Lin Fan brushed the dust off his shoulder and looked at the Iron-Armored Violent Bear, which had a flicker of terror in its eyes.

His smile turned ferocious.

"The force has lessened, Bear Two."

"Did you not eat? Huh?"

[Ding! Suffered a heavy blow from the Iron-Armored Violent Bear! Defense +90!]

Although it was still a significant increase, compared to the 180 gained just moments ago, the gain was indeed halved.

This meant that Lin Fan's current Defense was enough to go head-to-head with this Iron-Armored Violent Bear!

At this moment, a notification sound rang in Lin Fan's mind.

[Warning! Insufficient mental power! Taunt Aura automatically deactivated!]

Having maintained the aura while enduring mental attacks, Lin Fan's mana bar was finally empty.

With a hum, the Taunt Aura vanished.

The small monsters that were still frantically biting Lin Fan saw the red light in their eyes fade, and their sanity returned.

When they realized they were surrounding a human freak that even the Iron-Armored Violent Bear couldn't kill, and that the Iron-Armored Violent Bear itself was standing right there,

"Awooo!" The group of small monsters was scared out of their wits and scrambled away in all directions.

Even the Iron-Armored Violent Bear was stunned for a moment.

The impulse to kill this human was still there, but it was no longer as strong as before.

It even developed an intention to retreat.

These bones were too hard; it was a bit painful to hit.

Seeing this, Lin Fan became anxious.

The experience pack was running away?

That wouldn't do!

Especially this Iron-Armored Violent Bear; it was a walking Defense book!

"Don't go! I won't charge you!" Lin Fan tried to persuade it to stay.

But without the Taunt Aura, the power of his words was clearly greatly reduced.

The Iron-Armored Violent Bear took two steps back, watching Lin Fan vigilantly.

Lin Fan scratched his head.

His mana was gone, and he couldn't activate the aura.

While he could fight it one-on-one, the Iron-Armored Violent Bear had thick skin, and his own damage output wasn't high enough; the fight would be too slow.

What if it ran away?

Suddenly, Lin Fan cast his gaze toward Xia Wanqiu in the distance.

An extremely bold, and perhaps even shameless, idea surfaced in his mind.

"Class Monitor!!" Lin Fan shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Form a party with me!"

"We'll share experience in a party! Your healing output is sufficient! I'll take your healing, and then I'll go kill the BOSS!"

Xia Wanqiu was preparing to come down from the tree, but upon hearing this, her foot slipped, and she almost fell.

She widened her beautiful big eyes and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Form a party?"

"Kill... kill this Iron-Armored Violent Bear?"

Xia Wanqiu wondered if she had misheard, or if Lin Fan's brain had been damaged from being hit.

"That's a Level 2 Lord! Even if our whole class went up together, we might not be able to beat it!"

"You were just beaten until you vomited blood, and you still want to kill it?"

The surrounding students were also stunned.

"Is this Lin Fan crazy?"

"It's good enough to keep your life; you still want to counter-kill?"

"That's an Iron-Armored Violent Bear! Its Defense is terrifyingly high; even an A-Grade Talent for attack might not be able to break through its Defense!"

Li Hao, who was hiding, was also dumbfounded.

"This kid wants to drag my School Beauty Xia to her death before he dies?!"

"School Beauty Xia, don't listen to him! Form a party with me! I'll lead you to the top spot!"

Su Xue, who was on the side, stomped her feet in anger, "Then what about me!"

"You? Oh right, I almost forgot about you!"

After Li Hao finished speaking, the next second, Su Xue received a notification that she had been kicked out of the party.

The shared connection with Li Hao was gone.

Su Xue's face turned pale, "Li Hao!! What are you doing!"

Li Hao ignored her and turned to look at Xia Wanqiu, "School Beauty Xia, come into my embrace!"

Xia Wanqiu shook her head repeatedly, "No... I have a party. I won't form a party with you, and I won't form a party with Lin Fan either..."

Lin Fan, however, didn't care.

"You can leave a party even after joining one!"

"Trust me! You just stand in the back and let me take your healing!"

"If the BOSS hits you, I'll take the damage for you!"

"We'll split the experience 50-50! After killing this one, our points will definitely be number one by a large margin! Getting guaranteed admission to that Qingbei Martial Arts University won't even be a dream!"

Seeing that Xia Wanqiu was still hesitating, he completely ignored the Iron-Armored Violent Bear on his face and scanned the two people beside Xia Wanqiu.

"Are you the ones in a party with Xia Wanqiu?"

He recognized the man and woman beside her; they were Zhang Feng and Yan Feixue.

"That's right! So what!" Yan Feixue glared at Lin Fan with great dissatisfaction, "Zhang Feng is a peak Level 1 Martial Apprentice! I am also a high-level Level 1 Martial Apprentice! Is there a problem with us forming a party!"

After all, poaching someone to their face—who could stand that!

Thump!

Lin Fan was slapped by the Iron-Armored Violent Bear.

[Defense +70!]

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth indifferently, "What are you babbling about? Hurry up and kick the Class Monitor! If you don't..."

"We won't kick her! We just won't!"

"Exactly, what can you do..."

Before Zhang Feng and Yan Feixue could finish speaking, they saw Lin Fan kick the Iron-Armored Violent Bear's butt and then run toward them with a smile.

"If you don't kick her, I'll let the Iron-Armored Violent Bear kick you!"

"F*ck! Lin Fan! You motherf*cker!"

Zhang Feng's expression changed drastically. As the captain, he ran the fastest.

While running, he kicked Xia Wanqiu out of the party.

His speed couldn't possibly be faster than the Iron-Armored Violent Bear!

That was a mid-level Level 2 BOSS!

Beside him, Yan Feixue was so scared that her skirt got wet.

Fortunately, Lin Fan saw Zhang Feng's action and chose to stop.

Thump—!

Another loud noise.

The Iron-Armored Violent Bear slapped Lin Fan on the head.

[Suffered critical damage! Defense +100!]

Splat!

Some blood sprayed from his head.

"Damn it, that almost killed me for real."

Lin Fan felt his head getting a bit dizzy.

However, fortunately, Xia Wanqiu had been kicked out of the party.

He turned to look at Xia Wanqiu and grinned, "Let's form a party."

Xia Wanqiu was completely dazed at this moment.

Watching Lin Fan get his head cracked open right in front of her, she then muddledly formed a party with Lin Fan.

[Ding! Player Xia Wanqiu has joined the party!]

Lin Fan looked at his party leader badge, his eyes shining.

"Good! Now it's our battlefield! Class Monitor, heal me!"

"Oh... okay." In a dazed state, Xia Wanqiu stiffly cast Life Healing.

The next second, the bleeding on Lin Fan's head stopped.

His condition recovered significantly!

That's more like it!

With a powerful healer in the back, what is there to be afraid of!

Li Hao saw this scene, his eyes splitting with rage!

"Ahhh! My Class Monitor!"

However, no one paid him any attention.

"Bear Two! Your death day has arrived!"

Lin Fan moved his neck, making a cracking sound.

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, he didn't pull out any weapons.

Instead, he directly rolled up his sleeves, went shirtless, and charged toward the mountain-like Iron-Armored Violent Bear!

"Roar!" Seeing that this insect dared to attack actively, the Iron-Armored Violent Bear was enraged.

It swung its bear paw and slapped over.

"Well come!" Lin Fan shouted.

He didn't dodge or avoid it, letting that palm slap onto his chest.

Bang! Defense +80!

It hurt a bit, but under [Pain Conversion] and Xia Wanqiu's timely Healing Spell, this bit of injury vanished in an instant.

Lin Fan used the force of the rebound to jump up violently.

He punched the Iron-Armored Violent Bear repeatedly.

-16. -20. -19. ...

Although his attack power was only at the level of an ordinary Level 1 Martial Apprentice!

The attacks were negligible, but he couldn't be stopped because his Defense increased every time he took a hit.

Plus, there was Xia Wanqiu's healing from behind.

After a round of offensives, the first one to be unable to hold on was actually the Iron-Armored Violent Bear.

Especially since he had the god-level passive, Thorn Armor!

It would trigger every now and then!

It directly stunned the Iron-Armored Violent Bear!

"Crack!" A crisp bone-cracking sound rang out.

"Awooo!!!" The Iron-Armored Violent Bear let out a shrill, miserable scream.

It covered its nose, stumbling backward, with tears and snot streaming down.

Just now, its heavy punch had been fully reflected by the Thorn Armor!

Its nasal bone had been shattered by the reflection!

It couldn't understand.

Why did this human's hits not hurt it at all, yet every now and then he could cause it a massive amount of damage!

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

After landing, Lin Fan didn't give the Iron-Armored Violent Bear any chance to catch its breath.

Like a mad dog, he rushed up and hugged the Iron-Armored Violent Bear's thick leg.

"Rozan Sho Ryu Ha!"

"Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

"Mars Powerful Fist!"

Although the names of the moves were fancy, in reality, it was just unorganized brawling.

The Iron-Armored Violent Bear saw that its HP was actually gradually dropping to only one-third left.

Its expression changed immediately!

This human was simply a monster!

He couldn't be killed!

This scene looked extremely ridiculous, yet it was incredibly shocking.

A one-meter-eighty human youth was pinning down a three-meter-plus giant bear and beating it up!

That originally arrogant forest overlord was now beaten to the point of having no will to fight!

It could only flee in panic!

"F*ck..." Li Hao poked his head out from behind a tree, watching this scene, his mouth wide enough to fit a durian.

He had originally wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

But it turned out this knife... seemed to have been broken by Lin Fan?

It even became a toy in Lin Fan's hands?

"Is... is this even human?"

"Is this the F-Rank Talent?"

"Then what does my A-Grade Talent count as? Trash?"

Li Hao's worldview collapsed.

Meanwhile, Xia Wanqiu stood in the distance, mechanically waving her magic staff to heal Lin Fan.

Watching the figure riding on the bear's neck, laughing wildly while throwing punches, her eyes became brighter and brighter, even carrying a hint of unprecedented brilliance.

This Lin Fan, who usually looked like a slacker and only knew how to talk back... it seemed, he was actually kind of handsome?

Finally, as Lin Fan's last punch, carrying all his strength, smashed onto the Iron-Armored Violent Bear's crown, this arrogant Level 2 Lord let out a final mournful cry.

Its massive body collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lin Fan gasped for air, sitting on the bear's head.

He made a V-sign at Xia Wanqiu in the distance.

"Done! Work's over!"

"Class Monitor, come over to loot the corpse! These bear paws are good stuff; let's roast them for dinner!"

Xia Wanqiu was completely dazed.

"He actually won?! Lin Fan beat the mid-level Level 2 BOSS, Iron-Armored Violent Bear, to death with his bare fists?!"
