98: Chapter 98 is so annoying!

Martial Saint Han Qingshan and the other two looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.

Martial Saint Han Qingshan looked at Instructor Lei Zhan: "Instructor Lei, what is this 'special training' he mentioned…?"

Instructor Lei Zhan's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed a few words through them.

"His special training… is to have us do exactly what Professor Zhao Wuji just did… to him… beat him wildly!"

As the words fell, the entire scene plunged into a deathly silence once again.

Even the monsters that were attacking wildly seemed to slow down by half a beat.

Martial Saint Han Qingshan: "…"

Professor Zhao Wuji: "…"

Even Instructor Liu Ruyan's icy expression could no longer hold.

Professor Zhao Wuji shuddered all over, as if recalling the terrifying experience on the Training Ground just now, where he had beaten him for ages only to end up exhausted himself.

He subconsciously took half a step back and shook his head repeatedly.

"No! I'm not doing it! Whoever wants to do this job, go ahead! I'm not serving!"

This isn't training a student! This is purely physical labor mixed with mental torture!

However, Instructor Liu Ruyan, with those cold, phoenix-like eyes, flashed a hint of unprecedented, intense interest.

She looked at Lin Fan's robust build with great interest, her red lips parting slightly.

"An interesting kid… If the three of us go together, can he really withstand it?"

Instructor Lei Zhan took a deep breath, his tone incredibly serious.

"I don't know."

"But I feel… he can."

This sentence was like a reassurance, and it helped Martial Saint Han Qingshan make up his mind.

He took a deep look at Lin Fan.

This freshman who had constantly refreshed his cognition from the very beginning.

Perhaps this kid could really become the key to turning the tide of the battle!

"Fine!" Martial Saint Han Qingshan shouted in a deep voice, "I agree! As long as you can stabilize the situation, we accept all your conditions!"

"Hurry up! Still thinking about it? Can't you see I've already activated Taunt!"

Lin Fan helplessly endured the rain-like attacks from the surrounding monster horde.

Hum—! An invisible ripple had long since spread out in all directions with Lin Fan as the center!

This ripple ignored physical obstacles.

It penetrated the crowd, penetrated the buildings, and shrouded the entire battlefield!

It shrouded the heads of all the monsters!

"What! When did you activate it?"

Even Instructor Lei Zhan didn't notice it at first!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have still been discussing this issue with Martial Saint Han Qingshan.

He had originally thought Lin Fan was being unreasonable, using special training as a threat at a time like this.

He didn't expect that Lin Fan had already quietly activated the Taunt Aura.

"Do it! These monsters are about to break free from the Taunt effect! They are much fiercer than the previous monsters!"

The eyes of the surrounding Level 5 Monsters had already begun to flash with struggle!

Strong willpower made them try to resist this strange mental power!

And Lin Fan was only able to hold them back by relying on the Level 2 Taunt Aura and the additional Taunt effect from the [Taunt Ring] on his finger!

If it were before, just the Taunt effect from the Taunt Aura would have been enough!

"Director Han!" Instructor Lei Zhan's words hadn't finished, but Martial Saint Han Qingshan had already shouted, "Do it!"

Then, Professor Zhao Wuji and Instructor Liu Ruyan immediately activated their innate abilities and charged into the area around Lin Fan!

"Holy shit!"

"What… what is going on?!"

"Why did the monsters stop? Who are they looking at?"

All the instructors and students on the battlefield, whose pressure had suddenly decreased, were dumbfounded.

They watched helplessly as the monster army, which had been eager to devour them alive just a moment ago, was now crazily besieging Lin Fan.

"What are you still standing there for!" Instructor Lei Zhan shouted again to the stunned crowd, "Take this chance, clear the monsters!"

A violent shout woke everyone up!

"Wuji! Ruyan!" Martial Saint Han Qingshan shouted to Professor Zhao Wuji and Instructor Liu Ruyan while cutting into the beast horde!

He didn't bother with the monsters that had been completely controlled by the Taunt Aura and were rushing toward Lin Fan like crazy.

Instead, he specifically targeted the monsters that were still struggling on the edges, trying to break free from control!

"Coming!" Instructor Liu Ruyan and Professor Zhao Wuji followed closely behind!

For a time, sword lights, sword shadows, thunder, and flames raged wildly within the beast horde!

Those Level 5 Monsters, having lost their reason and with their backs turned to the three Level 6 Martial Saints, were simply living targets!

One per blade, a group per punch! The harvesting efficiency was terrifyingly high!

On the other side, Lin Fan had been completely submerged by the black beast tide!

[Received bite from Level 5 Low-Tier Lava Giant Lizard! Defense +350! Tear Resistance EXP +40!]

[Received claw attack from Level 5 Mid-Tier Gale Demon Wolf! Defense +400! Shock Resistance EXP +50!]

[Received charge from Level 4 High-Tier Iron-Armored Violent Bear! Defense +220! Wild Charge Proficiency +5!]

[...]

In Lin Fan's mind, the system notification sounds were flooding in!

Countless attacks landed on his body, but they couldn't even break his skin.

Instead, because of the 200% physical damage reflection from [Thorn Armor], those monsters attacking him suffered first!

A Lava Giant Lizard's teeth were broken!

A Gale Demon Wolf's claws were cracked!

There was even a stubborn Iron-Armored Violent Bear that rammed into Lin Fan with all its might.

As a result, it was smashed into a pulp by the recoil force and died on the spot!

Lin Fan stood in the center of the beast tide, motionless.

He let the countless attacks wash over him.

This perverted scene made Martial Saint Han Qingshan and the others who were harvesting in the distance feel scalp-numbing.

They now finally understood why Professor Zhao Wuji had broken down.

Compared to this kid, they, the so-called Martial Saints, were more like squishy characters in need of protection!

The battle showed a one-sided trend.

Under Lin Fan's powerful Taunt control, added with the crazy output of the four Level 6 Martial Saints, in less than five minutes, more than half of the thousands of monsters that had surged into the camp were cleared out!

However, just when everyone thought victory was in their hands, "Hiss—!!!"

A screech so sharp that it seemed capable of tearing the soul apart suddenly came from the depths of the Crimson Gobi!

The entire earth trembled violently with this screech!

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding all previous monsters and filled with brutality and endless killing intent, swept over like a tsunami!

Martial Saint Han Qingshan's face changed drastically.

He suddenly looked up towards the depths of the Gobi.

"Not good! It's a Level 6 Beast! And not just one!"

Before the words fell, a huge shadow appeared on the distant skyline.

That was a black cloud composed of countless flying monsters!

And on the ground, more than a dozen figures exuding the terrifying aura of Level 6 Beasts were leading an even larger beast tide, rushing toward the camp!

The leader was a hideous giant beast with a body the size of a small mountain, covered in dark red armor!

Dragging a huge scorpion tail behind it!

The overlord of the Crimson Gobi—the Red Scorpion King!

It had arrived!

Bringing its most elite troops!

Bringing the flames of revenge, it descended in person!

"All instructors! Organize the students to evacuate immediately!" Martial Saint Han Qingshan made a prompt decision, his voice filled with unprecedented gravity, "Immediately! Right now!"

A beast tide of this level was no longer something freshmen could participate in!

Let alone freshmen!

Even those ordinary instructors would only be instantly killed in front of Level 6 Beasts!

Instructor Chen Feng and the other instructors also realized the seriousness of the situation!

They immediately began to organize the panicked students to retreat toward the shelter in the rear!

"Murong Yan! Xia Wanqiu! You two hurry and leave too!" Instructor Lei Zhan roared at the two girls who were still on the sidelines.

Xia Wanqiu still wanted to say something, but was pulled by Murong Yan.

"If we stay here, we'll only be a burden!"

"But Lin Fan…" Xia Wanqiu hadn't finished speaking when she was interrupted by Murong Yan.

"It's not just you who is worried about him! I'm worried too!"

Murong Yan's eyes were firm.

"But us being here, other than distracting the instructors and Lin Fan, has no meaning!"

Although Murong Yan was also worried about Lin Fan, she knew better.

Their strength could not play any role in a battle of this level.

Xia Wanqiu bit her lip.

She took a deep look at the figure submerged by the beast horde.

In the end, she still followed the main force and began to retreat.

Soon.

On the entire battlefield, except for Lin Fan who was being besieged, only the four Level 6 Martial Saints—Martial Saint Han Qingshan, Instructor Lei Zhan, Professor Zhao Wuji, and Instructor Liu Ruyan—remained.

The four of them looked at the approaching doomsday disaster in the distance with solemn expressions.

Back to back, they formed the final line of Defense.
