Chapter 169: The Insane Professor Shen

The power is incomparably immense, yet it causes extreme damage to the body; isn't this just the prototype of a Forbidden Spell?

This Professor Shen is clearly a walking, human-shaped Forbidden Spell creation machine!

And he dares to fight and struggle; to help his students improve their strength, he even dared to dig up the imperial tomb of the previous Son of Heaven of the Great Xia. Even after being caught, he took the beating alongside his students. Such a good mentor is hard to find even with a lantern.

Moreover, even after doing so many rebellious and shocking things, this Professor Shen still hasn't been expelled and can continue teaching at the Great Xia Academy, which is enough to show that Professor Shen's own hard strength is truly impressive.

What a talent!

Ye Lin was incredibly excited; opportunities in big cities are indeed plentiful, to think even such a talent exists here. He immediately solidified his conviction: he must apprentice under this Professor Shen.

He and Professor Shen are simply a match made in heaven!

"Well? After hearing about Professor Shen's deeds, are you still willing to join his tutelage? It doesn't matter if you aren't; I can just arrange you into another class," Old Jia asked quietly.

"I am willing!"

Ye Lin nodded very firmly.

"Please, you must let me study under Professor Shen!"

Old Jia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In the past few years, anyone who heard about Professor Shen's glorious past deeds would avoid him like the plague, wishing they could stay as far away as possible.

Among the students, there even circulated a jingle: "Cherish life, stay away from Professor Shen."

This was the first time Old Jia had seen someone rushing to become Professor Shen's student; isn't this person brain-damaged?

"Student Ye Lin, are you sure?" Old Jia couldn't help but confirm once more.

"I'm sure! I'm an orphan, so I don't have to worry about family members coming to the school to cause trouble for Professor Shen!" Ye Lin nodded.

Old Jia: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He could only offer his respect and blessings.

Seeing this, Han Huizhen hurriedly pulled Ye Lin aside and whispered a reminder.

"Junior Ye Lin, won't you reconsider? Professor Shen's mental state... is a bit abnormal."

"It's as if anyone's mental state is normal," Ye Lin patted his own head.

Han Huizhen fell silent, then she stomped her foot and couldn't help but say.

"Do you know what Professor Shen is called? Jingbin!"

"Jingbin? That's a pretty good name; the shores of the Jing Sea, where the sky and water meet." Ye Lin nodded, then couldn't help but pause. "Wait, Professor Shen's surname is Shen... Shen Jingbin... 'Shenjingbing' (Mentally Ill)???"

"Exactly! Professor Shen's name already foreshadows so much, and you still want to choose him?" Han Huizhen continued to persuade him.

"Senior, since it's come to this, I want to choose him even more!"

Ye Lin became excited. What kind of good Forbidden Spell can a normal person create? It's nothing more than sacrificing the body, life force, or longevity to exchange for incomparably powerful destructive force.

Ye Lin is not lacking in this type of Forbidden Spell at all; he has eight thousand if he has ten thousand.

Some messy Forbidden Spells without destructive power can sometimes produce unexpected, miraculous effects, just like his "One Qi Transforms Three Purities" and "Great Void Art."

A mentally ill person is not worth mentioning, and there is no shortage of powerful job-changers, but a powerful mentally ill person is very attractive to him!

"Teacher, pick Professor Shen for me!"

Ye Lin's tone was firm.

Seeing this, Han Huizhen could only sigh helplessly. It is hard to persuade a damn ghost with kind words; she had already fulfilled the duties of a senior.

"Junior Ye Lin, there will be no future following Professor Shen; you will regret it sooner or later." Han Huizhen couldn't help but shake her head.

"My future is decided by me... I put my whole heart into every relationship... You, who never run out of power, accompany me to accelerate... Running on our journey..."

Ye Lin suddenly burst into song, causing the gazes of everyone in the registration hall to instantly gather on him.

Han Huizhen, who was standing near Ye Lin, was so embarrassed her toes curled; she felt her face burning.

"How about it, Senior? Don't I seem very suitable to follow Professor Shen now?" Ye Lin rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.

"..."

Han Huizhen retreated half a step without a sound.

"That... I suddenly have something to do; my roommate is about to give birth to her second child, so I'll be going now."

"If you say you want to leave me..."

Seeing that Ye Lin was about to burst into song again, Han Huizhen hurriedly lunged forward and covered Ye Lin's mouth.

"Stop singing, I beg you, stop singing! I won't leave, okay?"

Han Huizhen was almost crying; she was afraid that if Ye Lin kept singing like this, she would see herself on the campus gossip forum the next day.

"Don't be nervous, Senior. Since you've helped me this far, you might as well see it through; just take me to Professor Shen later," Ye Lin said with a smile.

Han Huizhen nodded, torn between laughter and tears.

Soon, Old Jia helped Ye Lin complete all the enrollment registration procedures.

"It's all done. From now on, your mentor is Professor Shen. Your dormitory is Room 1001 in Building 4; this is the best dormitory I can find for you right now. This is a privilege for Professor Shen's students," Old Jia said.

"The best dormitory? What's good about it?" Ye Lin was a bit confused.

Old Jia pushed up his glasses, coughed, and said.

"Room 1001 in Building 4 is the dormitory closest to the Great Xia Academy infirmary; it only takes 3 minutes to walk there slowly."

The corner of Ye Lin's mouth twitched slightly; so that's the kind of "good" it was.

But he didn't care; as long as he could hang around Professor Shen, it was fine.

Ji Lingyu was assigned to the Sword Cultivator class, so the two parted ways in the registration hall, and Han Huizhen led Ye Lin to the teaching area of the Great Xia Academy.

"You walk straight along this road; the laboratory at the end is where Professor Shen often stays. I won't accompany you inside." Han Huizhen stopped, her pretty face showing some terror; she was clearly extremely afraid of this Professor Shen.

"Alright, thank you, Senior."

Ye Lin nodded, then groped his way toward the end of the road. After losing his sight, his hearing had improved significantly; he could even hear the sound of a dragonfly flapping its wings more than ten meters away.

Just as he reached the door of Professor Shen's laboratory, Ye Lin heard a man talking to himself. This voice was steady and powerful, making one feel that the person was very reliable upon hearing it.

"No! According to the experience left behind by the Great Love Immortal Venerable, to achieve eternal life, one must first sever all seven emotions and six desires, and single-mindedly seek longevity! That is to step into the Path of Ruthlessness!"

"But the Path of Ruthlessness... what counts as being ruthless? Find a beloved person, then kill one's wife to prove the Dao?"

"No, no. Not to mention that this would harm innocent people, true ruthlessness is not about having no one in the world, but having attachments in the world yet remaining unmoved!"

"Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs because the Heavenly Dao treats all living beings equally, hence the Great Dao is ruthless."

"By the same logic, the true Path of Ruthlessness should be that a beloved person is no different from a stranger in one's eyes!"

"Therefore, to practice the Path of Ruthlessness, one should find a beloved person, marry her! And then let her sleep with a yellow-haired punk!"

"If a stranger's girl is taken by a yellow-haired punk, a normal man would at most feel heartbroken and regretful, or be extremely excited. But if one's own wife is taken by a yellow-haired punk, a normal man should be furious and develop an extremely strong urge to kill the yellow-haired punk."

"In other words, if a man can stand by and watch his beloved, pure-gold 'white moonlight' being hammered by a yellow-haired punk until she becomes a flat rice cracker, yet remain indifferent, or even feel like laughing, then this Path of Ruthlessness is perfected!"

"That's right! That's it!"

"Because of my negligence before, I have already harmed too many students. This time, I cannot experiment on students again; I should study this Path of Ruthlessness myself! The most urgent task now is that I must find a fair-skinned, young, and beautiful beloved, and then let her cheat on me!"

"Oh right, she also needs to have a big butt!"

Ye Lin could no longer endure it; this Professor Shen was simply insane. He had to severely condemn Professor Shen.

He pushed open the laboratory door with a bang and fell to his knees in front of Professor Shen with a thud.

"Professor Shen, I heard you have no students. You know, I've been without a teacher since I was born. If you don't mind, I'd like to dye my hair yellow!"
