139: Chapter 139 Zhao Xu

It wasn't until the day's classes ended that the dean walked in through the school gate, clutching a briefcase.

He had originally intended to clock out, and if Wang Lin had arrived one minute later, he probably would have missed him.

Wang Lin stood at the entrance of the academic affairs office and handed over his school departure documents.

Director Liu took them, looked them over, then looked up at Wang Lin, picked up a pen, signed the papers, and stamped them.

Zhou Ming had been waiting in the hallway the whole time; seeing Wang Lin come out, he went up to meet him: "Is it done?"

Wang Lin nodded: "It's done."

Zhou Ming looked at Wang Lin and said: "Brother Wang, it's your last day, let me walk you home."

Wang Lin looked at him and nodded.

Zhou Ming walked very slowly, as if he couldn't bear to say goodbye to Wang Lin.

He pointed to the steamed bun shop by the side of the road: "Brother Wang, do you remember this?"

"Back in elementary school, when neither of us had money to buy buns, we would just stand at the entrance and smell the aroma."

"The proprietress took pity on us and gave us one each. Those buns were truly delicious."

Zhou Ming pointed again to the old locust tree by the road:

"Back in middle school, after school, we would climb this tree to pick locust flowers and take them home for your mom to steam locust flower rice."

"The locust flower rice your mom steamed is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten."

As he spoke, Zhou Ming's eyes reddened: "Brother Wang, if you leave, who will I talk to from now on?"

At this moment, Wang Lin suddenly stopped.

Zhou Ming almost bumped into Wang Lin's back: "Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

At the end of the alley stood a person with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.

Seeing Wang Lin, the man smiled, his mouth curling up. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and flicked the ash:

"Wang Lin, I've been waiting for you for over a month. Finally decided to come back, huh?"

Zhou Ming's face turned pale instantly, and he blocked Wang Lin: "Brother Wang, hurry and leave, I'll hold him off!"

Wang Lin looked at Zhao Xu before him, reached out, pressed his hand on Zhou Ming's shoulder, and pushed him aside:

"Move aside, leave this to me. You just watch from the side..."

Zhao Xu threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and walked towards Wang Lin.

His right fist clenched, veins bulging, and he activated his [Water Element] Superpower.

"Wang Lin, do you think you can hide from me?"

"You killed my brother, and this time I will kill you to avenge him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved both hands, and several water arrows shot from his palms, flying towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin did not retreat, nor did he dodge; he held his palm upward, and a blue fireball condensed in his palm.

With a wave of his hand, the fireball flew out and collided with the water arrows, hissing...

Steam filled the air, the water arrows were evaporated, and the fireball was extinguished.

Wang Lin looked at Zhao Xu: "Is this all the skill you have? And you want to try to get revenge?"

Zhao Xu's face darkened, and he rushed towards Wang Lin, throwing a punch.

Blue light condensed on his fist, like a compressed water ball.

Wang Lin opened his five fingers, and a ball of blue flame emerged in his palm, meeting the punch with one of his own.

Fire and water collided between the two, making a hissing sound, and steam instantly filled the air.

Zhao Xu's fist was blocked by the flames; the film of water wrapped around his fist instantly evaporated under the searing heat of the flames, and a burning pain shot through his fist.

Zhao Xu retreated two steps, his eyes full of shock.

"Why is your fire blue, and why is the temperature so high!"

Wang Lin didn't know either, so he said: "Because, therefore, scientific principles. Understand now? Idiot..."

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth in anger and rushed forward again.

He didn't dare to clash head-on with Wang Lin; his body twisted like a snake, throwing a punch at Wang Lin's face from a tricky angle.

Wang Lin activated [Snake Transformation], his body twisted slightly, and the punch grazed past his ear.

At the same time, he clenched his right hand into a fist, blue flames condensed on it, and he punched Zhao Xu in the chest.

Zhao Xu couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the chest by the flaming fist; his body flew backward, crashing into the wall with a dull, loud thud.

Dust from the wall fell in showers; he knelt on one knee, a patch of his chest was scorched, and his clothes had a hole in them.

Zhao Xu looked up at Wang Lin, his eyes full of shock; he couldn't understand how an LV4 could be this powerful.

Looking down at Zhao Xu, he said indifferently: "LV6? Nothing special. What other skills do you have? Use them all."

Zhao Xu's expression was gloomy. He crouched down, pressed his hands to the ground, and blue light exploded from his palms.

The ground began to shake, underground water pipes burst, and a rumbling sound came from beneath the earth.

Countless cracks appeared in the ground, and water gushed out from the fissures.

It wasn't just the water pipes in the alley; the pipes on the entire street and throughout the whole area were bursting.

Countless water gushed from underground, converging into a river, then a great river, then a sea.

Zhao Xu stood on the water surface, raised his hands, and water rose from the ground, condensing into water snakes in the air.

Several water snakes circled in the air, completely transparent, like works of art carved from crystal.

With a wave of his hand, several water snakes rushed towards Wang Lin, opening their mouths to reveal teeth, biting at Wang Lin from different directions.

Wang Lin dodged left and right, sidestepping the first one, ducking under the second, and leaping over the third, but there were too many water snakes.

In a fraction of a second, his body turned into a cloud of black mist.

Those water snakes passed through the black mist, not touching anything substantial, and collided with each other, shattering into splashes of water that fell to the ground.

The black mist re-condensed into Wang Lin's body.

Zhao Xu's laughter echoed in the alley: "You actually know Shadow Shapeshifting?"

"But how long can you hide?"

"How many times can you use your Shadow Shapeshifting? Three times? Five times? Ten times?"

"And my water snakes are endless."

Zhao Xu waved his hand, and more water snakes rose from the water, circling in the air.

Wang Lin looked at him and said indifferently,

"Since you don't play by the rules and are wasting national public resources, then I won't be polite either."

Zhao Xu waved his hand: "Not polite? I'd like to see just how you're going to be impolite."

The water snakes multiplied several times over, numbering in the hundreds, rushing at Wang Lin from all directions.

Wang Lin raised both hands, palms facing down, and cold air surged from his palms: "Ice Age..."

Instantly, everywhere it reached, all the water froze into ice; even the air seemed to have been frozen solid.

Hundreds of water snakes froze instantly, suspended in mid-air like ice sculptures.

Zhao Xu's eyes almost popped out, his mouth agape, forgetting to close it: "You... you actually know Ice Ability too?"

Wang Lin put his hands in his pockets and curled his lips: "Believe it or not, I have a hundred ways to defeat you?"

Zhao Xu's face flushed red: "Don't get cocky! It's not over yet!"

He raised his hands, and those frozen water snakes shattered into ice shards and fell to the ground,

but water rose from the ground again, re-condensing in the air.

This time it wasn't water snakes, but water dragons.

Larger, thicker, longer, almost occupying the entire alley.
