Chapter 177: Duan Ling's Transformation
Ye Lin revealed a kind smile, feeling more and more that finding Professor Shen as a mentor was the right choice.
In any case, if there was anything unusually unreasonable, it could all be blamed on Professor Shen.
After all, it was well-known that Professor Shen was not right in the head; who would bother arguing with a lunatic?
If you are hit by a normal person, you would ask them why they hit you, or hit them back directly.
But if you are hit by a lunatic, you certainly wouldn't want to reason with them, let alone fight them.
Honestly, thinking about the benefits of being a lunatic, Ye Lin even felt like becoming one himself.
The Soul-Devouring Demon Beast just now was level 21, which meant Ye Lin's team currently had 21 points.
After walking out of the illusion, other monsters began to appear in the cave ahead.
A deep green slime lunged straight at them; Xu Yu pressed forward, and countless iron plates gathered on his body to form a defense, blocking the slime.
At this moment, Ji Lingyu and Lin Wenyu also attacked from the left and right; under the cutting of sharp blades, the slime was quickly sliced into several pieces, losing its combat capability.
However, thanks to the slime's powerful vitality, it was not yet dead.
"Don't waste time on these monsters; we should bypass them if we can. Our target is the Soul-Devouring Demon Beast!" Ji Lingyu said in a deep voice.
Hunting these ordinary monsters yielded no points, so most teams generally 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 valuing? Are they not worth us going all out? I'm trembling with rage! This is naked discrimination against ordinary monsters! I won't accept it! As a 'Ji-Shuai', I am born with the ability to love monsters!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Lin casually finished off the slime and then charged out; accompanied by the wails of monsters, dozens of seconds later, the nearby monsters had all been slaughtered by Ye Lin.
Ji Lingyu and the others were all left speechless.
Loving monsters... well... loving to kill monsters, in a sense, could also be considered loving monsters.
During the rest of the journey, Ji Lingyu and the others didn't even have a chance to attack.
Whenever a monster appeared, Ye Lin would resolve it immediately; it was an instant kill upon sight.
Relying on his level 50 status and 2, 00 points of strength, Ye Lin didn't even get injured; it was a complete, supreme speed-run.
Although the five of them were in a team, the other four could only share a pathetic one or two points of experience.
After all, Ye Lin relied on brute physical strength to kill 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 another monster, she finally erupted.
"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 manners at all? Were you not raised by your parents?" Ji Lingyu spoke out passionately.
"My parents were poisoned to death by me, any other questions?" Duan Ling said calmly, her tone extremely cold and chilling.
Ji Lingyu was choked up, and the rest of the words he intended to use to greet Duan Ling's parents were stuck in his throat.
"Crazy woman!"
Ji Lingyu couldn't help but curse; he deeply regretted recruiting Duan Ling into the team.
Originally, he thought Ye Lin was blind and had lost his combat ability, which was why he recruited Duan Ling, an SSS-rank professional, hoping to improve the team's overall combat power.
If he had known Ye Lin's physical body had become this strong, why would he have recruited Duan Ling? He would have been better off just picking someone low-level and obedient.
"Forget it, Ji Lingyu, did you forget what I told you? We must be kind to others," Ye Lin quickly advised.
"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 in front of Duan Ling and, without warning, grabbed her throat and lifted her up.
"I'm asking you now, will you be kind to me? Will you be united?"
The petite Duan Ling was like a little chick in front of Ye Lin; if Ye Lin used even a little force, he could snap her neck directly.
Yet, the face of Duan Ling, who was in imminent danger, showed no panic at all; instead, she revealed a strange smile and said coldly.
"You blind bastard, you're dead! Just wait for your whole body to fester!"
Before Ye Lin could react to what was happening, he felt an extremely fierce toxin rush from his palm straight toward his heart! It was unstoppable!
Duan Ling's body actually carried a potent, deadly poison!
Ye Lin was somewhat surprised; he had still underestimated the profession of Plague Poison 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 truly not simple! If he were careless and underestimated the enemy, even he could capsize in the gutter.
Seeing that his body was about to fester under the potent poison, Ye Lin had no choice but to activate Undying Body, forcibly making himself appear as if he were not poisoned.
"Why are you fine?"
Duan Ling was shocked; as a Plague Poison Warlock, her entire body was covered in deadly poison. Anyone who had skin contact with her, one and all, would lose half their life even if they didn't die.
Yet the Ye Lin before her showed no signs of poisoning at all; this completely exceeded Duan Ling's expectations.
"Hmph! You underestimate my mentor, Professor Shen! Mere toxins, I have long been immune to them!" Ye Lin casually made up an excuse.
"Your body can actually be immune to toxins?!"
A strange light lit up in the depths of Duan Ling's eyes, filled with infinite fanaticism; even though he was blind, Ye Lin could feel Duan Ling's burning gaze.
"None of your business! I advise you not to cause trouble again, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Ye Lin said coldly.
"Mm-hmm! I'll listen to you!" Duan Ling nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, becoming extremely obedient.
Ye Lin was a bit confused by Duan Ling's sudden change, but he naturally wouldn't kill someone in front of everyone, so he could only put Duan Ling down.
Ji Lingyu and Xu Yu and the others also looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened.
Duan Ling had just been acting so arrogant, looking down on everyone; how did she suddenly become obedient after being choked?
Could it be that this woman is actually a masochist? She just likes being choked?
