25: Chapter 25 Teasing the Brainless Young Master

Faced with Lin Muyang's look of pure confusion, as if saying "Who are you? I really don't know you," Ye Cheng felt extremely displeased.

He, Ye Cheng, was after all one of the rare A-rank Class Transferees among today's batch—a [Fire Mage]!

Exceptional talent, a rare class, and a prominent family background!

He had thought that after the awakening ceremony, every student in the school should have heard of his great name and treated him with reverence.

As it turned out...

This kid in front of him named Lin Muyang actually looked like he had never heard of him before?

This was simply an insult to Ye Cheng's prestige! How could he endure this?

"Kid, listen up!" A lackey behind Ye Cheng immediately stepped forward, pointing at Lin Muyang's nose and introducing with an arrogant air: "This is Young Master Ye Cheng! A [Fire Mage] who awakened an A-rank talent! When you see him at school in the future, if you know what's good for you, take the initiative to call him 'Brother Cheng,' you hear me?"

This introduction made Ye Cheng feel very comfortable, and he tilted his chin up slightly. It was good to have lackeys; saying such things himself would seem chuunibyou, but coming from a lackey, the feeling was completely different—it gave him a lot of face!

However, the reaction he anticipated—Lin Muyang being shocked, terrified, or at least polite—did not appear.

Lin Muyang acted as if he had only just understood, waving his hand casually with a slightly embarrassed tone: "Ah? You want to call me Big Brother as soon as we meet? This... this is so embarrassing, there's really no need to be so polite."

Ye Cheng: "..."

The lackeys behind him: "..."

The passersby nearby who were eavesdropping to watch the fun: "..."

The group of people was dumbfounded on the spot.

Is this guy missing a screw in his head, or is he doing it on purpose?

Does he even know what situation he's in? Disaster is imminent, and he still dares to take verbal advantage like this?

"If you don't fucking know how to talk, you can shut up!" Ye Cheng's face instantly darkened, as if covered in a layer of frost. He stared coldly at Lin Muyang. "Since I've confirmed you are Lin Muyang, then things will be easy to handle."

He took a step forward, trying to overwhelm the other with his presence: "Today at the entrance of the dungeon zone, it was you who didn't know your place and rejected my goddess Shen Muyao, making her unhappy!"

He specifically emphasized the words "my goddess," as if declaring sovereignty.

"As her most loyal supporter, I naturally have an obligation to help her vent this anger and 'educate' you properly so she can be happy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three Class Transferees behind him immediately dispersed in a coordinated manner, surrounding Lin Muyang in a semi-circle. Each of them looked unfriendly, cracking their knuckles and blocking all his possible escape routes.

"Mm, I understand, it's only right." Lin Muyang acted as if he didn't see the surrounding formation, still looking absent-minded. His consciousness was quickly searching through the vast list of Auras for a "suitable" target as he asked perfunctorily, "So, what exactly do you plan to do?"

?

Ye Cheng truly hadn't expected that even when surrounded by four people, Lin Muyang could still be this calm. Was he really not afraid, or was he just pretending?

But since the arrow was on the string, he didn't bother to think more about whether this guy was bluffing.

He snorted coldly and said indifferently, in a tone as if he already controlled the whole situation: "What to do? Naturally, I'll beat you up first to give you a good memory, so you understand who you can offend and who you can't! Stay away from Mu Yao in the future!"

In fact, he had an even deeper motive in his heart.

He noticed that Shen Muyao's attitude toward Lin Muyang seemed quite good, and she had even proactively invited him to a party. But toward him, Ye Cheng, she was always indifferent and cold.

This huge contrast made him extremely unbalanced, and he was burning with jealousy.

"Isn't it just because this kid is a bit more handsome?" Ye Cheng thought viciously. "When we start, I'll 'accidentally' pay more attention to his face and disfigure him. Let's see if Mu Yao will ever spare him another glance!"

At this time, the nearby stallholders and passing Class Transferees had also noticed the tense atmosphere here and cast their gazes over.

But no one stepped forward to dissuade or interfere.

In this gathering place for Class Transferees, a bit of friction was too common. Moreover, seeing Ye Cheng and his group dressed flashily and acting aggressively, it was obvious they were playboys with backing. No one was willing to court trouble for a stranger.

"Sigh, what a pity for such a handsome young man. It looks like he's going to suffer today..."

"Who told him to offend someone he shouldn't have?"

"The leader seems to be the young master of the Ye family, an A-rank talent. He's not someone to be provoked..."

Many people in the field looked at Lin Muyang, who was surrounded and appeared somewhat thin, and shook their heads secretly, thinking he was definitely in for a bad time today.

However...

Just when everyone thought that what followed would be a one-sided beatdown and Lin Muyang was about to be taught a harsh lesson—

A sudden change occurred!

Lin Muyang, who had been "wandering out of his body," suddenly had his eyes light up slightly!

He had found a God-Tier Aura that looked very "suitable" and "interesting"!

This was the one!

[Sudden Baldness (God-Tier Aura)]: After activation, all target units marked as "hostile" by you will have all hair on their body surface (including but not limited to head hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, body hair, etc.) fall out rapidly within a short time, and they will lose the ability to regenerate it within a certain cycle!

Regarding the fact that such a... uniquely effective Aura existed in his list, Lin Muyang was also a bit speechless and wanted to laugh.

But it had to be said...

Using it in this current situation was simply perfect!

With a thought, he instantly locked onto the four people led by Ye Cheng and marked them all as "hostile" targets!

Then, without hesitation, he activated the [Sudden Baldness] Aura!

In the next moment...

Before Ye Cheng and his three lackeys could even strike an attacking pose, or even release their first skill, they simultaneously felt an extremely eerie, indescribable itch and coolness spreading over their bodies!

"Eh? Wait... why is so much hair falling from the sky?" A lackey subconsciously looked up and saw fine hairs drifting down in front of his eyes.

"Falling my ass! That's your own fucking hair falling out! Hahaha... Holy shit, stop quickly, are you having a spell backlash?" Another lackey started laughing at his companion at first, but then he couldn't laugh anymore because he saw with horror that the top of the other's head was becoming sparse at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he himself felt a chill on his own scalp!

"I'm over it... Laugh at your mother's head! Your own hair is falling out too! It's like it's snowing!" The third lackey pointed at the second lackey's head, his voice changing pitch.

"My hair! My hair, ahhh!!" Ye Cheng let out the most shrill scream. He reached out to grab the hairstyle he was so proud of and had meticulously maintained—

With this grab, he actually pulled out a large handful of intact hair that had fallen out from the roots!

Then came a second handful, a third handful...

It wasn't just the hair on their heads!

Their eyebrows, eyelashes, and even the hair on their arms began to fall out uncontrollably!

Suddenly, hair was flying in the field. Four grown men stood there with "snow" constantly drifting off them. For a moment, the scene became quite spectacular and hilarious!

The surrounding onlookers, who were still pitying Lin Muyang, were now all dumbfounded. Their mouths hung open as they watched this inconceivable scene, their brains almost stopping.

This... what's the situation? Collective spell backlash? Or were they hit by some eerie curse?

At this time, Lin Muyang felt the scene wasn't "perfect" enough and decided to give them another hand.

With another thought, he activated an environmental God-Tier Aura!

[Natural Wind (God-Tier Aura)]: After activation, a controllable Natural Wind can be generated in a specified area. The wind strength and range can be adjusted at will.

And so...

Just as the four of them were in a state of panic, frantically trying to hold onto their still-falling hair, a sudden, strong but not violent whirlwind was precisely generated with the four of them as the center!

This wind seemed to have a life of its own, skillfully swirling up all the hair they had shed—black, brown, medium-length hair, sparse eyebrows, fine body hair...

Like a tornado collecting debris, it swirled all this hair into mid-air in one go. Then, spinning, it flew higher and further, drifting toward a distant river...

"My hair! My hair! Come back!"

"No! Stop! Damn wind!"

"Catch them! Quickly catch them!"

The four young men were completely panicked. Each of them reached out in vain, grabbing wildly at the air and jumping around, trying to retrieve the hair that once belonged to them. Their expressions were as ugly as if their fathers had died, and they were almost about to cry.

But the strength of the wind controlled by Lin Muyang was handled just right; it wouldn't hurt them, but it made it impossible for them to touch the hair being carried away.

They could only watch helplessly as their once thick hair, like dandelion seeds, heartlessly disappeared into the distant horizon...

Gradually...

The wind stopped.

The field also became completely quiet.

Four bright, shiny, and even somewhat reflective new lightbulbs appeared before everyone under the afterglow of the setting sun!

Their heads had become completely hairless, so smooth that even a fly would slip standing on them! Without the decoration of eyebrows, their faces looked exceptionally strange and hilarious, and their eyes appeared somewhat protruding and dull because they lacked the shade of eyelashes.

At this point, Ye Cheng's mental state completely collapsed!

The faces of the four of them had turned extremely ugly, a pale green mixed with extreme anger, shame, and a deep sense of helplessness. However, coupled with their shiny bald heads and weird eyebrowless faces, this angry expression not only lacked any deterrent power but was instead filled with a sense of comedy that made people unable to help but laugh...

"Lin Muyang!!"

Ye Cheng pointed a trembling finger at Lin Muyang, his voice becoming sharp and distorted due to extreme anger. His bald head even turned slightly red from the rush of blood: "It's you! It must be you behind this! What the hell did you do to us?!"

"You dare to toy with us like this! Do you fucking not want to live anymore?!"

Facing the four of them whose gazes looked as if they wanted to swallow him alive and their hysterical questioning.

Lin Muyang spread his hands, showing an expression even more confused and innocent than theirs, his tone so sincere that no fault could be found:

"Me? What did I do? I was just standing here, I didn't even move a bit?"

He even looked left and right as if searching for the "real culprit": "You guys suddenly... went bald on your own. What does that have to do with me? Could it be that your usual pressure is too high? Or did you use some low-quality hair growth tonic?"

His appearance looked even more wronged than Dou E!

However...

Just as he was speaking with an "innocent" face, his mind had already silently communicated with the [Supreme Halo] system again, locking onto and activating another God-Tier Aura he had just found that was even more inhumane!

If [Sudden Baldness] only made them lose face and suffer social death.

Then this next Aura...

Would probably leave them with a psychological shadow, making them want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into on the spot!
