56: Chapter 56: The more you try to explain, the worse it gets!

Li Hao really wanted to die right now. Truly.

If there were a crack in the ground, he would have crawled into it without the slightest hesitation.

Thousands of eyes were staring at him from all around.

Those gazes were far too complicated.

There was shock, disdain, disgust, and even a few perverts revealing the excitement of "having found their tribe."

"No! You all need to listen to my explanation!"

Li Hao was sweating profusely from anxiety, waving his hands wildly in the air.

He was trying to shake off this massive, undeserved blame that had fallen from the sky.

"I really don't like being a cuckold! And I don't have any special fetishes!"

"When I was with Su Xue, I truly liked her! Although... although she had already done that with Lin Fan back then, I..."

At this point, Li Hao suddenly choked on his words. Oh no. This is a dead end no matter how he explains it!

If he didn't admit he knew, then he was just a pathetic guy who got cheated on by Lin Fan and ended up taking the leftovers.

If he admitted he knew, then he was knowingly staying with her, which was clearly just a pure fetish for picking up used goods and acting as a cuckold.

"Ohhh—!" A long sound of sudden realization erupted from the crowd. That sound twisted and turned, filled with deep meaning.

"Understood, no need to explain, classmate Li Hao."

A boy wearing glasses pushed up his frames, wearing an expression that said, "I understand you." He patted Li Hao's shoulder earnestly.

"Everyone has their own XP system. Although your XP is a bit... well, a bit avant-garde, even a little nauseating."

"But we respect the diversity of species."

"That's right, that's right. Li Hao, you don't need to cover it up; the more you cover it up, the more guilty you look."

"If there are NTR chieftains in this world, it's only reasonable that there are cuckold chieftains too."

Several girls nearby even stepped back in disgust, as if Li Hao were carrying some kind of contagious virus.

"Too perverted, to actually like this kind of thing."

"Stay away from him in the future; who knows if he has any strange demands."

"It's a good thing he's just an exchange student; once the military training ends, we won't have any more contact with such a person."

"No wonder someone with an A-Grade Talent could only fall to this point."

Li Hao watched the way everyone avoided him, and his mentality completely collapsed. It's over. It's all over.

His reputation at Magic City Ability University was completely ruined!

"Lin Fan!!!" Li Hao let out a shrill roar in his heart. It was all Lin Fan's fault!

If it weren't for Lin Fan, how could Su Xue have acted like that! If it weren't for Lin Fan, how could Xia Wanqiu have exposed his shortcomings in public!

If it weren't for Lin Fan, how could he have become the current cuckold chieftain! Kill him! Must kill him! Only when Lin Fan is dead can this shame be washed away!

Just at this moment, in the center of the beast tide in the distance, Lin Fan was enjoying himself immensely.

[Ding! Received impact from Iron-Armored Rhino! Defense +12!]

[Ding! Received claw attack from Wind Blade Wolf! Defense +9!]

[Ding! Received mixed stomping! Defense +18!]

The system notification sounds were like firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, popping incessantly. So good! It felt so damn good!

Lin Fan felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, every pore on his body relaxing. Every inch of muscle and every bone was cheering and leaping for joy.

This feeling of being beaten up by hundreds of demonic beasts was simply an imperial-level enjoyment!

He took a moment to glance at his status panel. Good heavens!

Defense Level had already soared to LV24 (38500/50000)! He was just one kick away from the LV25 milestone!

As long as he reached level 25, he could unlock a new God-level passive! That was a God-level passive!

Think about the previous [Thorn Armor]; that damage reflection effect was simply invincible. What would it be this time? Invincible Golden Body? Damage Immunity? Or something even more perverted?

Lin Fan felt an itch in his heart, as if hundreds of cats were scratching it. However... this experience bar was rising a bit slowly.

These Tier 2 and Tier 3 demonic beasts, although numerous, had limited attack power after all. After scraping away at his health for so long, it was getting a bit boring.

"This won't do, need to add some stronger ingredients."

Lin Fan, while enjoying the back-rubbing service from the Iron-Armored Rhino, cast his gaze toward the large force of freshmen in the distance.

Those were thousands of fresh troops! Among them were no shortage of geniuses with S-Rank Talent or even SS-Grade Talent.

Various elemental attacks and physical bursts—hitting his body would definitely feel different! If they could all attack together... that wave of experience points would be absolutely explosive! Breaking through level 25 directly wouldn't be a dream!

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Fan saw Li Hao jumping up and down over there, shouting with a red face and thick neck. Although he couldn't hear exactly what he was shouting, judging by his gesticulations, he was definitely targeting him.

Immediately after, he heard Li Hao's raspy voice resound throughout the entire field.

"You can't kill him! His Defense is very strong!"

"Everyone, attack quickly! This is the best opportunity!"

"Don't hesitate! Lin Fan is only attracting the demonic beasts so that we will attack!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan almost shed tears of gratitude. What a good person! Li Hao really is such a good person!

Although this kid usually looks quite punchable and his brain does not work too well, at critical moments, he is truly reliable!

Knowing he lacked experience, he immediately incited everyone to take action. This awareness, this cooperation, he is simply the best wingman!

It seems he had misunderstood him before. All this talk of traitors—wasn't that just an excuse to help him farm experience?

"If I had known, I shouldn't have activated Taunt Aura to pull him over as well. My view of things was too one-sided!"

Lin Fan, in the midst of the beast herd, struggled to extend one hand. He gave a big thumbs up in Li Hao's direction and nodded vigorously. His eyes were filled with appreciation and encouragement.

However, this scene, when it fell into the eyes of others, changed completely in meaning.

"Oh my god... look! Classmate Lin Fan is nodding!"

"And he's nodding at Li Hao!"

"What does this mean? Could he be thanking Li Hao?"

"Classmate Lin Fan is too kind! Li Hao has smeared him so much, and even wants to kill him, yet he can actually forgive Li Hao?"

"No! I think Classmate Lin Fan is telling us that Li Hao is right, asking us not to worry about him and to hurry up and attack!"

"Wuwuwu... so touching! Is this the perspective of a top scholar?"

"He'd rather be crushed to pieces than fail to create an output environment for us!"

The crowd, who were originally still hesitating, felt the balance in their hearts sway once again.

Instructor Chen Feng watched this scene, his eyes narrowing. He also felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

With hundreds of demonic beasts gathered together, just one wave of focused fire could take them all out. This efficiency was terrifyingly high.

Originally, the plan given to him by Instructor Lei Zhan was to spend the whole day clearing out the outer demonic beasts.

But looking at it now, if they followed Lin Fan's method of luring monsters and joined forces to kill them, they could quickly wipe out the demonic beasts here! They wouldn't need a whole day at all!

"Everyone, listen up!" Instructor Chen Feng took a deep breath and shouted loudly. "Prepare to attack!"

However, something awkward happened. Of the thousands of freshmen, the vast majority did not move. Everyone lowered the weapons in their hands, and the light on their magic staves dimmed.
