Chapter 177: Duan Ling

Ye Lin revealed a kind smile, feeling more and more that finding Professor Shen as his mentor was truly the right choice.

Anyway, if there was anything abnormally unreasonable, he could just push the blame onto Professor Shen.

After all, it was well-known that Professor Shen's brain wasn't quite right; who would bother arguing with a lunatic?

If you were hit by an ordinary person, you would ask why they hit you, or you would hit them back directly.

But if you were hit by a lunatic, you certainly wouldn't want to reason with them, and you would want to fight them even less.

Honestly, just thinking about the benefits of being a lunatic, Ye Lin even felt like becoming one himself.

The Soul-Devouring Beast from just a moment ago was Level 21, which also meant that Ye Lin's team currently had 21 points.

After walking out of the illusion, other monsters began to appear in the karst cave before them.

A deep green Shi Laimu lunged directly at them. Xu Yu lunged forward, and countless iron armors converged on his body, forming a defense that held the Shi Laimu back.

At this moment, Ji Lingyu and Lin Wenyu also attacked from the left and right. Under the cutting of their sharp blades, the Shi Laimu was quickly sliced into several pieces, losing its combat capability.

However, thanks to the Shi Laimu's powerful vitality, it was not yet dead.

"Don't waste time on these monsters. We should try to go around them as much as possible. Our target is the Soul-Devouring Beast!" Ji Lingyu said in a deep voice.

Hunting these ordinary monsters yielded no points, so basically, most teams wouldn't waste too much time on them.

"What kind of talk is that! What kind of talk is that! I want to hire a lawyer for the monsters!"

"Are ordinary monsters not worth being valued? Are ordinary monsters not worth us going all out? I'm shivering with cold! This is naked discrimination against ordinary monsters! I don't accept it! As a 'Ji Shuai' (internet slang for a trendy/handsome man), I am born with the ability to love monsters!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin casually finished off that Shi Laimu, then charged out directly. Accompanied by a series of wails from the monsters, a few dozen seconds later, the nearby monsters had all been slaughtered by Ye Lin.

Ji Lingyu and the others were all left speechless.

Loving monsters... hmm... loving to kill monsters; in a certain sense, it could also be considered loving monsters.

On the journey that followed, Ji Lingyu and the others didn't even have a chance to attack.

Whenever a monster appeared, Ye Lin would resolve it at the first opportunity; he would kill them the moment they showed their heads.

Relying on his Level 50 status and 2,000 points of Strength attribute, Ye Lin didn't even get injured at all; it was a completely effortless speed-run.

Although the five of them were in a team, the experience points the other four could get were a pitiful one or two points.

After all, Ye Lin was relying on his brute physical strength to kill them in one hit; they didn't even have a chance to assist.

Ji Lingyu and the other two didn't have any objections, but slowly, Duan Ling began to grow dissatisfied.

After Ye Lin killed yet another monster, she finally exploded.

"Enough! I came to participate in the assessment, not to watch you grind levels!"

A pale green gas rose from Duan Ling's body, which, combined with her black gothic makeup, looked exceptionally terrifying.

"Don't waste time on these ordinary monsters anymore, or I'll make it so you can't move!"

"No, damn it, I've tolerated you for a long time! How do you have no upbringing at all? Did you have no parents to teach you?" Ji Lingyu spoke passionately.

"My parents were poisoned to death by me. Any other questions?" Duan Ling said calmly, her tone extremely cold, making people shudder.

Ji Lingyu was also choked up, and the rest of the words he was prepared to use to greet Duan Ling's parents were stuck in his throat.

"Crazy woman!"

Ji Lingyu couldn't help but curse. He currently regretted inviting Duan Ling into the team very much.

Originally, he thought that since Ye Lin was blind and had lost his combat ability, he had invited Duan Ling, an SSS-rank professional, to join, thinking to improve the team's overall combat power.

If he had known earlier that Ye Lin's physical body had become this strong, why would he have bothered recruiting Duan Ling? He might as well have just recruited someone low-level and obedient.

"Forget it, Ji Lingyu, did you forget what I told you? We must be kind to others." Ye Lin advised hurriedly.

"Boss, why don't we split up from her? I really can't stand this woman anymore. Who knows if she'll suddenly poison us from behind!" Ji Lingyu said with a look of wariness.

"Hey! Don't say things that are detrimental to unity!"

Ye Lin revealed a kind smile. The next second, he flashed and arrived in front of Duan Ling, gripping her throat without warning and lifting her up.

"I'm asking you now, do you want to be kind to me? Do you want to be united?"

The petite Duan Ling was like a little chick in front of Ye Lin; as long as Ye Lin used a little force, he could snap her neck directly.

However, Duan Ling, who was in imminent danger, didn't have the slightest panic on her face; instead, she revealed a strange smile and said coldly.

"You stinky blind man, you're dead! Just wait for your whole body to fester!"

Before Ye Lin could react to what was happening, he felt an extremely violent toxin rush from his palm straight toward his heart! It was unstoppable!

Duan Ling's body actually carried a strong, deadly poison!

Ye Lin was somewhat surprised; he had still underestimated the profession of Plague Warlock!

Duan Ling was only Level 25, yet the toxins on her body could actually cause fatal damage to his Level 50 self. SSS-rank professions were indeed not simple! If he were careless and underestimated the enemy, even he would capsize in the gutter.

Seeing that his body was about to fester under the deadly poison, Ye Lin had no choice but to activate his Undying Body, forcibly making himself appear as if he hadn't been poisoned.

"Why are you fine?"

Duan Ling was shocked beyond measure. As a Plague Warlock, her entire body was filled with deadly poison. Anyone who had skin contact with her, one by one, would lose half their life even if they didn't die.

Yet the Ye Lin before her didn't have the slightest sign of being poisoned; this completely exceeded Duan Ling's expectations.

"Hmph! You underestimate my mentor, Professor Shen, too much! Mere toxins, I have long since been immune to them!" Ye Lin casually made up a reason.

"Your body can actually be immune to toxins?!"

A strange light lit up in the depths of Duan Ling's eyes, carrying infinite fanaticism. Even though he was blind, Ye Lin could feel Duan Ling's scorching gaze.

"None of your business! I advise you best not to cause trouble again, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Ye Lin said coldly.

"Mm-hmm! I'll listen to everything you say!" Duan Ling nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, becoming extremely obedient.

Ye Lin was somewhat confused by Duan Ling's sudden transformation, but naturally, he wouldn't kill someone in front of everyone, so he could only put Duan Ling down.

Ji Lingyu, Xu Yu, and the others were also looking at each other, completely unaware of what had happened.

Duan Ling had just been acting so arrogant, looking like she didn't put anyone in her eyes; how did she suddenly become obedient after being pinched?

Could it be that this woman was actually a little masochist? She just liked having her neck pinched? ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
