206: Chapter 206: A Grand Display of Power Must Be Made in Public
Bai Ye walked at the very front, the bone whip in his hand dragging on the ground.
Behind him, the forty freshmen of High-Risk Class 3 were dejected, their steps unsteady.
This bizarre procession crossed the plaza, attracting the gazes of everyone around.
The several arenas that had just been fighting fiercely stopped simultaneously.
The light of the Divine Power inside the shields gradually extinguished; whether freshmen or instructors, all turned to look this way.
"Isn't that the red-head from the Tianshu Star Domain? He took third place in his high school for the college entrance examination, why is he in such a ghost-like state?"
"They are from High-Risk Class 3... The instructor is that Lin Yuan!"
"Holy crap, how long has this been? Less than twenty minutes, right? Forty people were disciplined into complete obedience?"
A wave of exclamations burst out from the crowd.
This group of freshmen had just been clamoring to give the instructor a harsh lesson right off the bat.
Now, seeing the miserable state of the red-haired freshman and the others, the arrogance in their hearts was instantly doused with a basin of cold water.
There was no earth-shattering collision of Divine Power, nor any summoning of a massive army of dependents.
They just walked over, stood there for a few seconds, and then these forty top Prodigy all knelt.
This unknown suppression was even more terrifying than directly beating someone half to death.
The crowd consciously made way.
Arena No. 12 at the very edge of the plaza.
Xia Luoluo was wearing bright yellow sportswear, standing below the arena.
She also noticed the commotion in the center of the plaza.
Standing on tiptoe, Xia Luoluo saw Lin Yuan walking at the very front at a glance.
"Lin..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, a muffled sound came from inside the arena.
One of her instructor teammates was punched in the chest by a freshman and flew backward.
"Sister Luo, I can't hold on, this brat's Divine Power is weird, I'll leave it to you!" The teammate clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xia Luoluo's movement paused, and she pulled back the hand raised in mid-air.
She looked at the departing Lin Yuan, then at the arrogant freshman inside the arena, and vigorously grabbed her hair.
"So annoying! I even wanted to go chat with Lin Yuan!"
Xia Luoluo muttered a sentence, propped herself up on the edge of the shield with one hand, and flipped into the arena.
A magnetic storm nebula unfolded behind her, instantly engulfing the entire venue.
Outside Arena No. 7.
Su Yueying stood in place, her gaze continuously following Lin Yuan's back.
She witnessed everything that happened just now from beginning to end.
That three-second Domain suppression, although not targeted at her.
But even separated by a distance, she could still feel that suffocating Law coercion.
The perfect closed loop of life and death.
Shock was Su Yueying's truest feeling right now.
A commoner who awakened a Wasteland Divine Domain, without any background.
In the end, he actually managed to surpass the Genius of Starry Sky University.
Su Yueying took a deep breath and slowly clenched her hands into fists.
Lin Yuan started from an F-grade Wasteland Divine Domain and reached where he was today; what he relied on was definitely not just luck.
That kind of mastery over the edge of life and death required experiencing countless wanderings between life and death to comprehend.
Backed by the Su Family financial group, she possessed top-tier resources and was born with an S-grade divine Domain.
If she were to retreat just seeing someone else's strength, she wouldn't deserve to stand here.
Su Yueying loosened her fists and turned to walk towards her class's gathering point.
Her pace was even steadier than before.
The path of the deities was long, and a temporary lead did not mean forever.
As long as the divine fire was not extinguished, she would always have a day to catch up.
High-Risk Class 3's gathering point.
Tuoba Lie, Shen Yubai, Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao, and others stood in place.
Seeing Lin Yuan lead forty freshmen walking back, the expressions of several people were somewhat colorful.
"That's it?" Tuoba Lie widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Only a few minutes have passed?"
The water ripples under Shen Yubai's feet swayed slightly.
He looked at those pale-faced, unsteady-footed freshmen, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He secretly substituted himself into the scene just now and deduced it.
The conclusion was that if Lin Yuan made a move against him, he couldn't even take a single move.
Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao just quietly looked at Lin Yuan, with not too much surprise in her eyes.
She was already used to Lin Yuan's unreasonable strength.
Only Cheng E leaned against a stone pillar, tossing a coin in his hand.
He looked at those trembling freshmen and gloated.
"A bunch of idiots." Cheng E sneered inwardly.
As a man who had witnessed Lin Yuan die and resurrect in the Rubiks Cube World, transforming into the Grim Reaper to instantly kill the heavens, earth, and air, Cheng E was completely desensitized.
Not to mention suppressing forty freshmen.
Even if Lin Yuan became a god on the spot right now, Cheng E wouldn't find it strange.
This fellow Lin Yuan simply could not be measured by conventional logic.
"Monitor!"
A full-chested roar broke the silence.
Yan Lie rushed in front of Lin Yuan, his eyes glowing.
"Monitor! What move did you use just now? Did you pull them directly into the Void Realm and shred them once?"
Yan Lie waved his fists and said excitedly: "Too handsome! I knew it, to deal with these ignorant brats, we have to use the most brutal methods!"
Yan Lie leaned closer, lowering his volume, but his voice was still loud enough for the whole audience to hear:
"Next time there's such a good thing, let me go! I guarantee to roast them until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with lava!"
Lin Yuan stopped, looked at the over-enthusiastic fellow in front of him, and sighed.
Was he wrong to choose him as an instructor?
Hopefully he wouldn't end up training these people to death.
"Return to the team."
"Alright!"
Yan Lie immediately stood at attention, turned around, and ran back into the formation.
Tuoba Lie looked at Bai Ye following behind and couldn't help leaning over.
"Hey, Bai Ye." Tuoba Lie asked in a low voice, "What on earth happened just now, did Lin Yuan make a move?"
Bai Ye stopped and glanced at Tuoba Lie.
A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes beneath the mask.
"Tch."
Bai Ye let out a cold snort full of sarcasm, without answering Tuoba Lie's question, directly bypassing him and walking behind Lin Yuan to stand still.
"Holy shit, hey!" Tuoba Lie was furious.
This brat was too vengeful!
Wasn't it just saying a couple of words to him in the plaza just now?
And in the end, he was the one who suffered!
Tuoba Lie clenched his fists, really wanting to punch Bai Ye right on that punchable mask.
Shen Yubai and Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at Tuoba Lie.
Their gazes were surprisingly consistent.
How come this fellow, just like Yan Lie, lacked a brain stem so severely?
Was this the time to fuss over such a thing?
"Let's go."
Lin Yuan ignored the little actions between his teammates.
He glanced at the time and turned to walk toward the teleportation array at the edge of the plaza.
Emphasizing efficiency.
The coordinates of the Small World specially prepared by Starry Sky University for this military training had already been entered into his star key.
Bai Ye strode to keep up, flicking the bone whip in his hand: "All of you fucking keep up! Whoever dares to fall behind will be directly eliminated!"
The forty freshmen shivered all over and quickly quickened their pace.
Tuoba Lie and the others no longer said much and quickly kept up with Lin Yuan's pace.
The team gradually drifted away, disappearing into the light of the teleportation array.
The hustle and bustle in the plaza sounded again, but the atmosphere was completely different from before.
Behind the crowd.
Xing Yun stood in the shadows, looking toward the direction of the teleportation array.
His dark golden left eye and dark green right eye flickered alternately, his hands tightly clenched into fists at his sides.
A large part of the reason for this arena battle that swept through the entire freshman group was that Xing Yun was stirring up trouble in secret.
The news was what he had people spread out, and the public opinion was what he had people build up.
The freshmen's dissatisfaction with the instructors was also the rhythm he brought up step by step.
His original plan was perfect.
Taking advantage of this trend, he would strongly defeat a priority-batch instructor in the arena.
Stepping on the opponent's face, he would become famous in a single battle at Starry Sky University.
As a result, it was all screwed up.
All the limelight was stolen by Lin Yuan alone.
Xing Yun gritted his teeth in anger, and the fury in his heart could not be suppressed no matter how hard he tried.
Let Man Lin Yuan show off, he could endure it.
What truly made him feel terrified was the strength Lin Yuan displayed.
During the three seconds when Lin Yuan released his Domain just now, although Xing Yun was far away, he still felt a sense of oppression that struck straight at the Soul.
"Cousin is right." Xing Yun muttered inwardly, "His evaluation of Lin Yuan is only underestimated, not overestimated."
Sixth-turn Demigod, a Domain with a perfect closed loop.
This was completely not an existence he could contend with right now.
"Could it be that I really have to give up the position of the leading chief?"
This thought had just emerged in his mind when it was snuffed out by Xing Yun.
"Impossible!"
Xing Yun raised his head, an obsessive madness bursting out from his heterochromatic pupils.
He had paid so much, how could he admit defeat here!
Scenes flashed through Xing Yun's mind.
That childhood sweetheart who had followed behind him since childhood and always looked at him with admiring eyes.
Upon learning that he was going to marry the eldest daughter of the Family's direct lineage, her heart-rending crying face.
"Xing Yun brother, do you not want me anymore?"
That questioning filled with a crying voice still echoed in his ears to this day.
But he didn't turn back.
He pushed her away and turned to walk toward that aloof direct-lineage woman whose eyes revealed charity.
He gave up love, gave up freedom, and even gave up his dignity as a man.
He bowed and scraped before those old things of the Family, enduring the mockery and cold stares of his peers.
For what?
For resources! For status!
For one day being able to trample all those who looked down on him under his feet!
He wanted to crush his peers, he wanted to traverse through the ages, he wanted to forever be that number one!
Within the Family, he was number one.
In this Starry Sky University, he must also be number one!
"Lin Yuan..."
Xing Yun gritted his teeth and uttered this name.
The sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a strong smell of blood.
"You are strong, but you blocked my path."
Xing Yun loosened his fists, the wound on his palm rapidly healing under the effect of Divine Power.
He had plenty of patience and plenty of means.
Under this starry sky, the one who survived to the end was the true winner.
