205: Chapter 204: Instant Kill!

Lin Yuan ignored Bai Ye's clowning around.

The position he had carved out for himself on the roster was logistical reinforcement, plus the title of Chief Supervisor.

According to his plan, he would just show his face at the opening and go through the motions.

He would dump all the dirty and exhausting work onto these energetic fellows, and he could rightfully slack off in the rear.

Whoever wanted to show off could take on such a thankless task.

Tuoba Lie stood to the side, his eyelids twitching continuously. Bai Ye called him an "idiot" in almost every breath,

He clenched his fists, and the yellow sand that had originally dissipated around his body showed a tendency to reconverge.

But when the corner of his eye swept across Lin Yuan's profile, his anger got stuck in his throat.

He couldn't afford to provoke Lin Yuan, at least not right now.

Tuoba Lie took a deep breath, suppressing the impulse to make a move.

He turned his head away, out of sight, out of mind.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Lin Yuan spoke up, cutting off the garbage talk Bai Ye was about to continue outputting.

Before they came to the square to assemble, Lin Yuan had already distributed the memory crystals recording the detailed rules of the military training to everyone.

Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao, Cheng E, Shen Yubai, and the others were all clear on what this mission was.

Several people nodded in understanding.

Their figures took to the air, flying towards the direction of the freshman dormitory area.

A few minutes later, when they arrived above the freshman dormitory buildings, the scene before them caused everyone to slow down simultaneously.

They saw that this open area, which was supposed to have been the assembly point, had undergone a drastic transformation at some unknown point.

Over a dozen circular arenas rose from the ground, distributed neatly and orderly among the buildings.

Nearly a thousand freshmen of this batch at Starry Sky University were all scattered around these arenas.

At this moment, fierce fighting was unfolding inside the arenas.

Rays of Divine Power of various colors collided frantically within the protective shields.

Flames tore the sky apart, frost froze the earth, and thunder intertwined into a net.

Various divine arts flew around randomly within a thousand-meter radius as if they were free of charge.

The aftermath generated by the explosions crashed against the shields, stirring up rings of energy ripples.

"What is the situation?" Bai Ye hovered in mid-air, asking doubtfully, "I remember on the flowchart you sent us, there wasn't an item about fighting in arenas, right?"

Lin Yuan looked at the chaotic scene below that was as messy as a pot of porridge.

He truly did not know what was going on.

In the military training outline, after reporting, the freshmen should have directly entered the deployment procedure and headed to the Small World.

Looking toward the crowd below, Lin Yuan quickly saw a familiar figure at the edge of one of the arenas.

Su Yueying.

She was crossing her arms, standing outside the shield, her brows slightly furrowed.

Lin Yuan's figure flashed, landing directly beside Su Yueying.

"What is going on?" Lin Yuan asked aloud.

Su Yueying turned her head, and seeing that it was Lin Yuan, she smiled helplessly.

"What else could it be?" Su Yueying pointed at the indignant freshmen around the arena.

"This bunch of Prodigies who just got admitted have extremely high pride. Upon learning that the instructors for this military training are us early-batch students, they are a hundred percent unconvinced."

"They feel that everyone is of the same age, so why should you people be able to ride on top of their heads?"

"Plus, on our side, there are also a few hot-tempered instructors. The freshmen provoked them with a few words, and both sides directly arranged a battle."

Su Yueying spread her hands: "Back and forth, it evolved into the current situation."

"The freshmen of each class are launching challenges against their corresponding instructors, beautifully calling it 'qualification review'."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Bai Ye also crowded over at this time. After hearing Su Yueying's explanation, he chuckled.

"These freshmen are quite astute." Bai Ye rubbed his chin, "They know they definitely won't be able to beat us in a one-on-one, so they plan to play a wheel war to exhaust the instructors to death."

"With over a thousand people, how much time would this waste?"

Su Yueying sighed: "There's no help for it. Since matters have developed to this point, the higher-ups of the school have no intention of stepping forward to stop it. They can only let them take their time."

"Fortunately, the current conflicts are only limited to the deities' main bodies battling."

Su Yueying glanced inside the arena, "If they were really allowed to use the followers in their Divine Domains, moving into the millions or tens of millions of follower armies, goodness knows when they would finish fighting."

After listening, Lin Yuan looked toward the sky.

At a glance, he insightfully perceived the small schemes of energy from the school's higher-ups.

The school was applying pressure in two directions.

Not only did they want to suppress the sharp spirit of the freshmen, but they also wanted to use the hands of the freshmen to test the quality of this early batch of theirs.

"Thanks." Lin Yuan said to Su Yueying.

He did not call Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao, Tuoba Lie, and the others again, but turned directly and walked toward the other side of the square.

Seeing this, Bai Ye quickly followed behind Lin Yuan like a little brother, trotting along eagerly.

Lin Yuan walked through the noisy crowd, his gaze sweeping across various areas.

Soon, he locked onto his target in an open space near Arena 7.

About forty freshmen were gathered there.

Different from the bustling and enthusiastic challenge atmosphere of other classes, this group of people appeared somewhat idle.

They gathered together in twos and threes, some sitting on the stone steps wiping their weapons.

Some leaned against the wall with their eyes closed to rest, but everyone's face was filled with irritability.

These people were the freshmen assigned to High-Risk Class 3.

Lin Yuan walked in front of this group of people and stopped his footsteps.

"Which ones are from Freshman High-Risk Class 3?" Lin Yuan asked aloud, "I am Lin Yuan, your instructor for this military training."

The originally noisy open space instantly quieted down.

More than forty pairs of eyes all stared fixedly at Lin Yuan.

After a brief silence, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

"You are that monitor of the early batch?" A freshman with dark red short hair stepped out from the crowd.

The red-haired freshman looked Lin Yuan up and down, sneering: "You bunch of instructors have quite big airs. We've been waiting here for nearly 20 minutes, and only now do you dawdle out."

"What, is the treatment of the early batch so good that even the concept of time has degenerated?"

The burly youth behind the red-haired freshman chimed in, twisting his neck as his joints clicked, "I thought you guys didn't dare to come."

This group of freshmen had originally harbored a bellyful of anger because of the dormitory environment and the identity of the instructors.

Now seeing Lin Yuan and Bai Ye arrive tardily, they immediately found an outlet for ventilation and began to clamor loudly.

At the back of the crowd, a fair-skinned boy standing against the wall pushed the oval glasses on the bridge of his nose.

He looked at the three roommates taking the lead in provoking ahead and sighed silently in his heart.

Just moments ago, he had witnessed with his own eyes those thorn-like ringleaders making trouble in the neighboring classes.

They were beaten on the arena by their instructors so badly that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them, with a dozen bones broken, and were directly carried into the emergency pod.

"In a moment when the fight starts, I might as well just lie on the ground and surrender."

The fair-skinned boy prayed in his heart: "I just hope they go easy and don't hurt my Origin."

Hearing the freshmen's provocation, Bai Ye instantly flew into a rage.

"Good fellow." Bai Ye stepped forward, heavily slamming the bone staff in his hand onto the ground.

"Just you lot of crooked melons and cracked dates, how dare you spout nonsense in front of your Grandpa here?"

Bai Ye pointed his finger at the red-haired freshman: "Come, come, come, your Grandpa here is in a rush today."

"Don't bother playing any wheel wars either, all forty of you come at once."

"If I don't beat the shit out of you today, my name isn't Bai Ye!"

The bone-like luster on Bai Ye's body began to circulate; he already wanted to test the results of his hard cultivation over this past month.

The red-haired freshman was infuriated by Bai Ye's attitude. A flash of fire flickered in his hand, and a long saber burning with fierce flames appeared in his grasp.

"Arrogant! I'd like to see how much weight you really pull!"

Just as both sides were at daggers drawn and about to make a move—

Lin Yuan moved.

He felt that letting Bai Ye slowly fight with this group of people was simply wasting too much time.

Lin Yuan took a step forward.

Domain released!

An off-white force field centered on Lin Yuan completely enveloped all forty freshmen within it.

The Domain that was originally a hundred meters in range was forcibly compressed into this narrow open space.

The density of the Law surged geometrically.

The red-haired freshman had just raised the flaming long saber in his hand when his movements froze.

He felt as if the surrounding space had suddenly turned into some kind of viscous solid.

The circulation of Divine Power within his body directly stagnated upon contacting the off-white force field.

The next second, a bizarre power that defied description descended.

The boundary between life and death was forcibly blurred within the Domain.

All the freshmen felt that the vitality inside their bodies was being extracted.

Their skin began to lose its luster, their muscles rapidly withered, and painful wails echoed from the depths of their Souls.

The [End] Law was stripping away their vitality.

And just when they thought they were about to die, [Origin] would forcibly inject vitality back into their bodies, repairing the damage.

Death, resuscitation.

Destruction, reshaping.

This high-frequency tug-of-war between life and death bypassed the physical pain entirely, acting directly upon the deepest parts of their Souls.

The flaming long saber in the red-haired freshman's hand extinguished silently.

He opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a single sound, his pupils dilating due to terror.

Merely three seconds.

Lin Yuan closed his five fingers, and the off-white force field dissipated.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The skeletal structures of all forty freshmen lost their support, and they collapsed limply onto the ground.

Cold sweat soaked through their clothes, and everyone was gasping for breath desperately.

Not a single person dared to raise their heads to look at Lin Yuan.

The aloof pride and arrogance of wanting to step on the instructors to establish authority from just moments ago—

were ground down until not even dregs were left within the three seconds of life-and-death Reincarnation.

At the back of the crowd, that fair-skinned boy lay flat on the ground, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

He hadn't even said a single word just now, yet he was dragged in to experience a round of life-and-death reshaping.

This was simply impossible to fight.

He shouted inwardly, greeting the eighteen generations of ancestors of his three roommates all over again.

Lin Yuan didn't even glance at the freshmen on the ground.

He turned around and dropped a sentence to Bai Ye, who was completely petrified beside him: "Bring them over, don't waste time."

Finished speaking, Lin Yuan took strides and walked back in the direction he had just come from.

In place, Bai Ye maintained the posture of raising his staff, his chin beneath the mask almost crashing into his chest.

"Holy shit... Holy shit... Holy shit!"

Bai Ye cursed wildly in his heart.

What had he just felt?!

A Domain!

This fellow Lin Yuan had actually broken through to the sixth-turn demigod without a sound!

But this wasn't even what surprised Bai Ye the most.

In a monster concentration camp like Starry Sky University, an enhancement in Realm was nothing unusual.

As long as many Prodigies were willing, they could completely pile up resources to reach high-tier demigod.

What truly widened the gap was always the foundation under the same Realm and the mastery over Laws.

The Domain Lin Yuan released just now completely subverted Bai Ye's cognition of a sixth-turn demigod.

To compress a Domain to that extent, yet the density of the Law didn't collapse and backlash?

Bai Ye was also a top-tier Prodigy with a viciously sharp eye.

He was very clear that ordinary Domains were easy to expand and extremely difficult to compress.

To forcibly compress the vast starry sky into a square inch—slight carelessness, and the conflict of Laws would blow the caster themselves into smithereens.

Furthermore, what flowed within that Domain was the perfect closed loop of the Laws of life and death.

Stripping away pure slaughter, this was completely a suppression that controlled the power of life and death.

Is this fucking a technique a demigod can pull off?

Bai Ye felt like crying without tears.

This past month, he had practically squeezed dry the bone marrow of the undead under his command, deducing day and night.

He originally thought that through his desperate hard cultivation, he could at least close the distance a little bit.

As a result, looking at it now, not only was Lin Yuan running ahead, but he was also fucking driving a warp starship!

The more one chased, the more despairing one felt.

"Bai Ye, hurry up." Lin Yuan's urging voice came from ahead.

Bai Ye snapped back to his senses.

Accept this cruel reality.

Being second was also pretty good; when the sky falls, he wouldn't be the one holding it up.

He turned his head and let his gaze fall upon the freshmen collapsed all over the ground, especially the red-haired freshman who had been shouting the fiercest just now.

Bai Ye instantly found an outlet for venting.

"Snap!"

Bai Ye flicked his wrist, causing the bone longwhip to produce a sonic boom in mid-air as it lashed across the red-haired freshman's back.

"Ah—"

The red-haired freshman let out a miserable scream. The clothes on his back split apart directly, his flesh torn open.

The Soul poison attached to the bone longwhip drilled inside, making even his Soul tremble.

"What are you howling for! You were pretty good at shouting just now!"

Bai Ye stepped on the red-haired freshman's head with one foot, shouting coldly: "Hurry up and follow, want to eat another whip, huh?"

The surrounding freshmen shuddered all over with fright, hurriedly crawling up from the ground.

Bai Ye followed behind, the bone whip in his hand occasionally lashing deep pits into the ground.

"All of you fucking run faster for your Grandpa here! Today, whoever dares to fall behind, I'll throw him into the Undead Pool to steep wine!"
