25: Chapter 25 Let me see! How can this crocodile even do a death roll? Thorn Armor upgraded!

Mist Forest Core Area, Cold Ice Pool.

The chill here was biting; the surrounding trees were hung with crystalline icicles.

The pool water appeared a deep, dark green.

Faint white mist drifted over the surface, looking eerie and terrifying.

"This place… it's so cold…"

Xia Wanqiu hugged her arms, shivering violently from the cold.

She was originally wearing a short-skirt school uniform.

Although she had the foundation of a Martial Apprentice, she couldn't withstand this bone-piercing chill.

Lin Fan, however, looked like nothing was wrong.

Not only was he not wearing a top, he instead opened his arms with an expression of enjoyment and took a deep breath of the cold air.

"Refreshing!"

"This cold air is practically a natural air conditioner!"

[Ding! Suffered cold air erosion! Defense +30! Frost Resistance +10!]

[Ding! Frost Resistance +10!]

The notification sounds in his mind put Lin Fan in a great mood.

This was the overbearing nature of the Indestructible Divine Body.

Whether it was physical attacks, magic attacks, or this kind of environmental damage, it could all be converted into Defense!

"Class Monitor, hide further away."

Lin Fan pointed to a large rock nearby,

"The commotion might be a bit loud later, don't get splashed with water."

Xia Wanqiu quickly hid obediently, peeking out with her little head.

"How are you going to lure it out?"

"Isn't that simple?"

Lin Fan chuckled and walked to the edge of the pool.

Then he made a move that left the entire school's teachers and students stunned once again.

He took off his shoes and stuck his feet directly into the pool water.

While stirring it around, he shouted loudly.

"Oh! Time to wash my feet! Time to wash my feet!"

"Listen up, you turtle inside! Come out and drink my foot-washing water!"

Command Center.

Principal Zhang Dapao covered his face, unable to bear looking.

"Can this kid… have at least a little bit of the demeanor of a powerhouse?"

"This is too embarrassing!"

But it had to be said, although this move was dirty, it was effective.

The originally calm pool water instantly boiled.

Splash! A loud noise.

A giant crocodile, over ten meters long and covered in heavy ice armor, suddenly rushed out of the water!

[Cold Ice Giant Crocodile]! Level 3 Mid-tier Lord!

Even stronger than the previous Phantom Ape!

Its ice-blue vertical pupils were filled with rage.

To think a human dared to wash their feet on its territory?!

It was a total humiliation!

Roar!

The giant crocodile opened its bloody maw, and a stream of ice-blue breath sprayed directly at Lin Fan.

Wherever it passed, the air was frozen!

"Well done!"

Lin Fan didn't dodge or evade; instead, he puffed out his chest and took it head-on!

Crack, crack, crack! Frost instantly covered his entire body, freezing him into an ice sculpture.

Xia Wanqiu cried out in alarm.

"Lin Fan!!"

However, the next second. Crack!

Cracks appeared on the surface of the ice sculpture. Then, it shattered with a boom!

Lin Fan walked out, steaming, completely unscathed.

[Ding! Suffered powerful freezing attack! Defense +300! Frost Resistance significantly increased!]

"Refreshing! Cool to the heart, heart flying!"

Lin Fan twisted his neck and beckoned to the giant crocodile.

"Is that all you've got? Didn't you eat?"

"Come! Bite me!"

The giant crocodile was completely enraged.

It kicked off the ground with its four limbs, its massive body charging toward Lin Fan like a tank.

Then it opened its huge mouth and bit down on… Lin Fan's waist!

That was a giant mouth with enough bite force to crush a tank!

"Ah!!"

Xia Wanqiu covered her eyes, not daring to look.

Only a loud "clang" was heard.

It was like biting onto a steel plate.

The giant crocodile only felt a sharp pain in its teeth, almost breaking them.

Was this human's waist… made of titanium alloy?!

Lin Fan was bitten, but instead of panicking, he excitedly patted the giant crocodile's head.

"Yo! Is this the legendary Death Roll wind-up?"

"Roll! Start rolling!"

"I want to see if you can twist me into a pretzel!"

The giant crocodile clearly understood his provocation.

It exerted force suddenly, taking Lin Fan with it as it rolled crazily on the ground.

Rumble! Surrounding trees were broken, rocks were pulverized.

The person and the crocodile were like a spinning top, leveling dozens of meters around them to the ground.

[Ding! Suffered Death Roll! Defense +150!]

[Ding! Defense +160!]

[Ding! Defense +200!]

The dense notification sounds made Lin Fan feel so good his scalp tingled.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the rhythm!"

"Faster! More intense!"

He shouted inside the giant crocodile's mouth, even taking the time to call out the rhythm for it.

"One, two, three! Spin!"

A few minutes later. The giant crocodile stopped.

It was dizzy, its limbs weak, feeling like its stomach was about to vomit.

It released its mouth, looking at the human in front of it who was still giggling, fear appearing in its eyes for the first time.

What kind of monster is this? Why can't I bite him? Why is he still laughing?

"Is that it?"

Lin Fan climbed up from the ground and brushed the dirt off his body.

Looking at the two rows of faint white marks on his waist, he shook his head in disappointment.

"Not good enough, little crocodile, your teeth need more practice."

"Since you've stopped spinning, it's my turn to spin you!"

Lin Fan grabbed the giant crocodile's tail.

His muscles bulged all over his body, the power of his God-level talent erupting!

"Up!!!"

Boom! The multi-ton giant crocodile was actually swung up by him!

"Away you go!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lin Fan swung the giant crocodile, smashing it onto the ground crazily like a sledgehammer.

The earth trembled. Ice fragments flew everywhere.

The poor Level 3 Lord had completely become a toy in Lin Fan's hands.

Xia Wanqiu peeked out from between her fingers.

She saw the boy who was usually grinning, now looking like a god of war.

Violent. Savage. Yet filled with a suffocating charm.

"This is… too strong…"

She murmured to herself. The young girl's heart deep inside, at this moment, completely fell.

By the Cold Ice Pool, it was a mess. That majestic Cold Ice Giant Crocodile had now turned into a pile of mush.

Dead as dead could be.

Lin Fan sat down on the crocodile's head, panting heavily.

Although it looked easy, it had consumed quite a bit of his stamina.

But the rewards were also rich.

[Killed Level 3 Cold Ice Giant Crocodile! Points +3500!]

[Current Ranking: First Place! Points: 9920!]

And most importantly…

[Ding! Congratulations Host! Accumulated damage taken has met the target!]

[Defense Level increased to LV20!]

[Congratulations Host! Obtained a God-level passive skill draw opportunity! Please choose one of three!]

Lin Fan's eyes instantly brightened. It's here! The God-level passive every five levels! This was the core of his becoming stronger!

His consciousness sank into the system space, and three golden options appeared.

[Option 1: Earth Guardian (When standing on the ground, Defense increases by 50%, and cannot be knocked down)]

[Option 2: Thorn Armor lv2 (Thorn Armor upgraded! Reflect damage ratio increased to 200%! And it is not limited to physical damage; magic damage is also reflected!)]

[Option 3: Super Regeneration (Regenerate severed limbs; as long as the heart is not destroyed, one can revive infinitely)]

Lin Fan looked at these three options, drool almost flowing out. They were all good things!

Super Regeneration was very tempting; that was true immortality.

But… his gaze locked tightly onto the second option.

Thorn Armor lv2! 200% reflect damage! Even magic damage can be reflected!

What did this mean? It meant that from now on, whether it was a warrior or a mage. As long as they dared to touch him once, they would have to suffer double the pain!

What was this? This was the ultimate technique of the "scamming" world!

"From now on, whoever dares to hit me is committing suicide!"

"Choose two! Must choose two!"

Lin Fan made his choice without hesitation.

[Ding! Congratulations Host for obtaining God-level passive: Thorn Armor lv2!]

Hum! A strange energy instantly flowed through his entire body.

Lin Fan felt as if there was an invisible film on the surface of his skin.

This film wasn't hard, but it contained a terrifying repulsive force.

He stood up, picked up a rock from the ground, and smashed it hard against his arm.

Bang! The rock shattered.

At the same time, Lin Fan felt a force rebound from his arm.

If someone hit him now, that hand would definitely be crippled!

"Hehehe…"

Lin Fan let out a creepy, sinister laugh.

From now on, no need to worry about those mages shooting cold arrows.

Shoot a fireball? Reflect a double fireball right back! Burn you to death!

"Lin… Lin Fan?"

Xia Wanqiu walked over cautiously, "You're laughing so scarily… are you okay?"

"I'm fine! Better than ever!"

Lin Fan put an arm around Xia Wanqiu's shoulder, in a great mood.

"Class Monitor, our points should be firmly in first place now, right?"

Xia Wanqiu glanced at her bracelet and nodded.

"Yeah, almost ten thousand points… It's impossible for any previous national ranking to have such a score! Others can't catch up to us."

"That's good."

Lin Fan stretched, "It's getting dark, let's find a place to rest, and when time is up, we'll leave the forest!"

"Ah? Re… rest?"

Xia Wanqiu looked at the dark forest around her. Then looked at the environment with just the two of them. Her face instantly flushed to the roots of her ears.

"He… here?"

"Otherwise what? Do you want me to book a five-star hotel for you?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes, "Relax, with your brother here, whichever blind spirit beast dares to come disturb our sleep, I'll beat the crap out of it!"

He found a relatively dry and flat large rock and spread some withered grass on it.

Then he lay down very naturally and patted the spot beside him.

"Come, Class Monitor, lie down. It's warm here."

Xia Wanqiu pinched the hem of her skirt, her heart about to jump out. This… this is too fast, right? Although she had feelings for Lin Fan, but…

"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?"

Lin Fan urged, "It's very cold in the forest at night, squeezing together is warm!"

Looking at Lin Fan's open and honest gaze. Xia Wanqiu bit her lip. Finally, still blushing, she slowly lay down beside Lin Fan.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together. Xia Wanqiu could clearly feel the heat coming from Lin Fan's body, and the touch of his solid muscles.

She closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembling. Her mind was full of chaotic images.

However. One minute passed. Five minutes passed. The sound of even snoring came from beside her.

Xia Wanqiu opened her eyes, looking at Lin Fan who was already sleeping like a log. She was so angry she wanted to hit someone.

"Are you a pig!"

"Such a big beauty is lying beside you, and you actually fall asleep in seconds?!"

"You're not even going to take a bite?!"

Although she was cursing, Xia Wanqiu still couldn't help but shrink into Lin Fan's arms. It's so warm…

Just when the two were sleeping in each other's arms. On the other side of the forest. Several shadows were quietly approaching.

It was an elite team from another school. They saw the leaderboard. Jealousy makes people unrecognizable.

"Almost ten thousand points… That must be Lin Fan."

The underling agreed, "It must be him! Only a masochist like him would dive into a place full of BOSSes!"

The leading captain stared viciously into the distance, "If we can eliminate him, we can become famous in one battle!"

"Ambush him at night!"

"That F-rank must be relying on some God-level equipment!"

"I don't believe he can still reflect damage while asleep!"

Several people looked at each other, took out their weapons, and quietly crept over.

However, what they didn't know was. What they were about to face. Was a… human-shaped hedgehog with 200% full damage reflection!
