35: Chapter 35: Route Confirmed! Invincible Defense? Time to Replenish Mana!

The bald man and his group were just about to slip away.

Hearing Lin Fan's words behind them, their footsteps paused.

They turned their heads, wearing expressions as if looking at an idiot.

"Kid."

"Don't be ungrateful."

"We don't want trouble, but we aren't afraid of it either."

"We let you leave, but you refused, insisting on asking for a beating?"

Lin Fan laughed when he heard this.

That's exactly what I was waiting for!

He didn't waste any time.

"Taunt Aura!"

"Activate!"

Hum!

An invisible wave instantly spread outwards from Lin Fan as the center.

This wave had no destructive power, but it carried an incredibly infuriating aura.

It was as if an invisible voice was whispering frantically in everyone's ears:

"Hey, you brat!"

"Come and hit me!"

"You weakling!"

"Didn't you eat today?"

"Your whole family is doomed!"

Fortunately, Lin Fan had activated the teammate recognition function beforehand.

Otherwise, Murong Yan and Xia Wanqiu, who were standing next to him, would probably have shoved their high heels into his mouth immediately.

Even so, Xia Wanqiu still felt a wave of irritation in her heart.

Looking at Lin Fan's face, she had an urge to pinch it.

As for the bald man and his group, who bore the brunt of it, their reaction was even more intense.

Their eyes, which had been normal, instantly became bloodshot and turned completely red.

Reason?

What was that?

Now they only had one thought in their minds.

Kill this despicable person in front of them!

Tear his mouth apart!

Twist his head off and kick it like a ball!

"Roar!"

The bald man let out a beast-like roar.

He didn't care if Lin Fan was a special recruit or not.

He didn't care if he could win or not.

He was like a bull in heat, lowering his head and charging straight at Lin Fan.

"I'm going to kill you!!"

"I'm going to tear you into pieces!!"

The few underlings were the same.

Each one had a ferocious expression, pouncing on him with bared fangs and brandished claws.

Some used their fists, some kicked with their feet, and one guy even opened his mouth to bite.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A dense barrage of punches and kicks instantly submerged Lin Fan.

[Ding! Received a punch! Defense + 1!]

[Ding! Received a kick! Defense + 1!]

[Ding! Received a bite! Defense + 0.5!]

Although the experience points gained were not much, it was still something!

Lin Fan closed his eyes, looking full of enjoyment.

He even actively leaned his face forward to let the bald man hit him.

"Harder!"

"Didn't you eat?"

"Oh, not bad, this punch has some strength!"

"The one biting, don't bite the butt!"

"Are you a dog!"

Murong Yan and Xia Wanqiu stood a few meters away.

Each held a bag of melon seeds they had just bought at the convenience store, cracking them while watching the show.

"Is this that skill of his?"

Xia Wanqiu spat out a melon seed shell, her eyes full of surprise.

"Isn't this too perverted?"

"Directly controlling people's emotions?"

Murong Yan nodded.

"It is indeed a god-tier skill."

"It's just too despicable."

"If I were an enemy, I would also want to kill him."

Just then, the commotion here finally attracted the attention of people around.

Although Magic City University hadn't officially started the semester yet, there were already quite a few people on campus.

There were graduate students staying to do experiments, logistics staff responsible for maintaining facilities, tourists who were actually there to visit, and...

The security patrol team on duty.

Originally, everyone just looked curiously, thinking about which punks were fighting again.

However, the moment they walked within a ten-meter radius of Lin Fan, the scene suddenly changed.

An elderly man walking around with a thermos, originally kind-faced, suddenly dropped the thermos on the ground with a "clatter" the moment he got close.

His eyes instantly turned red.

"You bastard!"

"How dare you breathe here!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

The old man roared, took vigorous steps, and joined the battle.

Several passing graduate students, who were originally discussing profound academic problems, threw away their glasses and books the next second.

"This formula is wrong!"

"It's because you look too ugly and affected my calculations!"

"I will eliminate you in the name of science!"

The few people shouted and rushed up.

Even a team of security guards passing by in a patrol car.

The lead Security Captain Wang was originally shouting with a megaphone: "What are you doing! That bald guy! Stop fighting!"

But as soon as the car drove within the ten-meter radius, Security Captain Wang slammed on the brakes, jumped out of the car, pulled out the rubber baton from his waist, and was full of murderous intent.

"How dare you stand on my turf!"

"You are defying school rules!"

"Take my baton!"

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the number of people beating Lin Fan went from the bald trio to a massive crowd of hundreds!

It was a sea of black, all heads.

Inside were the bald trio, outside were graduate students, tourists, and cleaning ladies, and on the very outside were dozens of fully armed security guards.

Everyone was piled up like an arhat, pressing Lin Fan at the very bottom.

Fists, soles of feet, rubber batons, brooms, slippers... fell like raindrops.

The scene was extremely spectacular, even a bit terrifying.

It was like a zombie siege.

"Holy crap!"

Xia Wanqiu was so scared that her melon seeds fell.

"Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"Lin Fan won't be beaten to death, right?"

Murong Yan was calm.

She glanced at the direction where he was submerged by the crowd, where only excited shouts could be heard.

"Don't worry."

"This bit of attack power."

"Is just like scratching an itch to him."

"This kid's skin right now."

"Is thicker than a city wall."

Just as Murong Yan said, Lin Fan, who was at the center of the storm, was having the time of his life.

Although these people's attack power was not high, and many were even ordinary people, the quantity was huge!

And the frequency was high!

The system notification sound in his mind rang non-stop like a machine gun.

[Ding! Defense + 1!]

[Ding! Defense + 0.5!]

[Ding! Defense + 1!]

[Ding! Defense + 2!]

The experience bar was soaring.

This wasn't getting beaten up; this was simply bathing in an experience pool!

"Brothers on the outside, don't squeeze!"

"Everyone can get a hit in!"

"Everyone has a share!"

"That auntie with the broom!"

"A bit to the left!"

"Yes! That's it!"

"Use more strength!"

Lin Fan's voice came from the pile of people, full of vigor, even carrying a hint of a commanding tone.

It lasted for a full half hour.

Lin Fan felt his mana bar was about to bottom out.

Although Taunt Aura was useful, the consumption was also huge.

Especially controlling so many people, the mental power consumption was even more terrifying.

"It seems I need to specifically farm some equipment that adds mental power."

"And my attack power! My attack is also a bit lacking; I can't always just engage in tickle-fighting with demonic beasts."

Lin Fan analyzed while being beaten.

"That's about enough."

"If this goes on, someone might die."

Lin Fan sighed, feeling unsatisfied.

"Withdraw!"

As Lin Fan's thought moved, that infuriating aura permeating the air instantly disappeared.

The moment Taunt Aura was turned off, the originally noisy, crazy, and murderous crowd instantly quieted down.

Everyone maintained their previous posture.

Some had their fists raised, some had their feet lifted, and some were gritting their teeth.

But the blood-red color in their eyes was rapidly fading.

Replacing it was confusion.

Deep confusion.

Security Captain Wang, holding the rubber baton, looked at the teenager beneath him who had a look of enjoyment on his face, then looked at the baton in his own hand.

His mind was a mess.

"I..."

"What am I doing?"

"Why am I hitting this student?"

"Wasn't I here to break up the fight?"
