45: Mechanically powered extremities, retired

Teacher Lin’s tone was serious, yet tinged with a hint of shock.

Evidently, besides being incredibly furious that Qin Yu, a student already earmarked by Star Ring Academy for priority cultivation, had been subjected to successive assassination attempts by Li Xingzhang,

he was also profoundly shaken by Qin Yu’s claim of... counter-killing a Level 39 Class Changer.

He was utterly astonished!

After all, as a Class Changer in the Fourth Transference realm,

he was all too aware of just how powerful a combat-oriented Class Changer at Level 39 truly was.

To be honest, if this matter hadn’t come from Qin Yu’s own mouth, and if Qin Yu hadn’t shown him a glimpse of Li Xingwen’s corpse lying next to him via phone,

he would never have believed it!

Of course, what he didn't know was that the detail about Li Xingwen being a Level 39 Class Changer was actually intentionally revealed to Teacher Lin by Qin Yu.

The purpose was to further showcase his potential, thereby making Teacher Lin, and even the entire Star Ring Academy, value him more.

Thus, they would severely pursue the Li Clan Group.

Ideally, the Li Clan Group would be directly expunged from this world.

“Alright, I understand.”

After a while, Teacher Lin finally processed the shock Qin Yu’s words had brought him. Then, after giving Qin Yu a deep look, he said:

“The greenbelt outside Qinglong Mansion Residential Area, right? Wait a moment and have your residential area’s security protect the scene; don’t move this corpse.”

“I’ll arrive in about twenty minutes. You should find a place to heal first…”

“Understood, Teacher Lin.”

Soon, with another notification sound, the call ended.

Holding his phone, and recalling Teacher Lin’s shocked and angry expression before hanging up, Qin Yu felt quite satisfied with his maneuver.

“It looks like Teacher Lin is taking my assassination even more seriously.”

“Heh, Li Xingzhang, I’d like to see how you’ll fend off Star Ring Academy’s investigation.”

And Qin Yu’s prediction was spot on.

In the hotel arranged by the Jiangzhou City Education Bureau for Teacher Lin and his group in the downtown area of Jiangzhou City… after Teacher Lin hung up Qin Yu’s call,

he almost didn’t hesitate for a moment.

He immediately dialed the number of Xiao Yunzhang, the Head of Star Ring Academy’s Admissions Department.

And as Teacher Lin recounted to Xiao Yunzhang on the other end, in full detail, how Qin Yu, a high school student who had only become a Class Changer less than twenty days ago, was actually able to kill a Level 39 Class Changer,

even Xiao Yunzhang, as the Head of Star Ring Academy’s Admissions Department, was utterly astonished beyond words!

He almost didn't hesitate to decide that he would report Qin Yu’s assassination to the academy’s high-ranking officials.

Furthermore, Li Xingzhang and the Li Clan Group he founded would definitely be severely punished without leniency!

Afterward, Teacher Lin then set off, heading towards Qinglong Mansion.

Of course, Qin Yu was clearly unaware of this matter at the time.

After hanging up with Teacher Lin, Qin Yu immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, took out a bottle of healing potion from his space ring—the one that alchemist Li Qiming had given him in the secret realm—and drank it.

The light green healing potion was downed by Qin Yu in one gulp.

And as the potion began to take effect... Qin Yu’s injuries also rapidly recovered.

About five minutes later, Qin Yu felt that his body had mostly recovered.

Although it was still far from completely healed,

it was undoubtedly much better than before.

It was only then that Qin Yu had time to examine the two mechanical power limbs on his arms, which were almost completely falling apart.

After just a quick glance… Qin Yu understood that these two mechanical power limbs were essentially completely scrapped, with no need for repair… because, although he had only used these two mechanical power limbs to block five or six punches from Li Xingwen from beginning to end.

However, these five or six punches… not only shattered the most core power devices of the two mechanical power limbs,

but even the surface manganese steel alloy

underwent a melting reaction due to the high energy generated by the impact.

As for the internal coils and various parts, every single one of them was damaged beyond repair.

It could be said that these two mechanical power limbs, apart from their appearance… still retaining a bit of an exoskeleton look,

their insides had long since turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Although Qin Yu had long anticipated that as his level gradually increased and his strength grew… this set of entry-level [mechanical power limbs] that had accompanied him since his Class Change ceremony,

would one day fail to keep up with his pace.

Thus, honorably “retiring”.

However, when this moment truly arrived… Qin Yu still felt a sense of reluctance.

For a moment, Qin Yu, as if deflated, kicked Li Xingwen’s corpse again… and it was at this moment that a series of hurried footsteps and the roar of an engine came from afar.

Qin Yu looked up to see several black SUVs speeding towards him, their roof-mounted police lights flashing blindingly.

Behind the SUVs, he also saw Lin Tian’s figure.

Evidently, the Qinglong Mansion security personnel and Lin Tian had finally arrived.

Ten minutes later.

The scene of Qin Yu and Li Xingwen’s battle had been cordoned off by Qinglong Mansion’s security personnel.

And after learning that the person killed by Qin Yu… was actually Li Xingzhang’s younger brother: Li Xingwen,

Lin Tian’s shock was even greater than Teacher Lin’s!

Because Lin Tian knew Li Xingwen’s strength much better than Teacher Lin!

As far as he knew, Li Xingwen was not just an ordinary Level 39; besides his profession being the extremely powerful S-rank class: Pugilist… his strength was only one step away from Fourth Transference.

Yet, such a figure, who was almost on the same level as him… was actually killed by Qin Yu without much fanfare?!

After listening to Qin Yu’s account, Lin Tian looked at Li Xingwen’s corpse on the ground, which was clearly killed in one blow, with more than half of its head melted.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“Truly a hero in the making, I never imagined that this Li Xingwen… would ultimately die by your hand.”
