Chapter 190: Come Out and Fight Me One-on-One

Ye Lin's grief-stricken roar echoed throughout the entire underground karst cave, ringing with such force that the dozens of security officers all fell silent.

Hundreds of people against one; they were indeed in the wrong here.

They also hadn't expected that hundreds of people joining forces could actually be taken down by Ye Lin alone.

"It's not like that! It's not like that! He wasn't forced into a corner at all! At the time, we didn't dare to attack him anymore, but he was still relentless, wanting to kill..."

Xie Wang, standing to the side, wanted to say more, but Ye Lin grabbed a rock and smashed it toward his head.

"Snow Leopard, shut up!"

With the boost of Ye Lin's two-thousand-point strength attribute, the rock was like an arrow released from a bow, striking Xie Wang square in the center of his forehead, not even giving him a chance to shift his attributes.

Xie Wang's eyes rolled back, and he passed out instantly.

"Ye Lin! You actually dare to commit violence! You are simply extremely brutal! Stop quibbling and surrender obediently. Regardless of the cause or the process, the fact that you beat hundreds of schoolmates until they were severely injured and dying is an indisputable fact!"

"As security officers, our duty is to protect the safety of the team members. Your actions are so ruthless that we must take you down to ensure the safety of the other freshmen!"

"That's right! Severely injuring hundreds of schoolmates—your crimes are heinous! If we don't take you down today, it won't be enough to appease public anger!"

The dozens of security officers found a high-sounding excuse for themselves; it was clear they were going to attack!

"Regardless of the cause or process? Only looking at the result?" Ye Lin sneered. "I understand now. You all just look down on me, right!"

"I am a blind man, and a short-lived Forbidden Spellcaster, so you think I can be bullied at will! But I tell you! You are wrong! Do you know who my mentor is?"

Looking at Ye Lin's confident appearance, the dozens of security officers looked at each other, all of them completely bewildered.

"Who is your mentor?" one of the security officers asked cautiously. Could it be that this person's mentor was some big shot in the academy?

"Speak his name, and I'll give you a fright! My mentor is none other than Professor Shen Jingbin!"

After Ye Lin finished speaking, he held his head high with great pride, as if choosing Professor Shen as a mentor was an extremely prestigious matter.

"......"

All the security officers fell silent.

"Are you talking about... that Professor Shen who developed the Disintegration Technique that allows for rapid suicide?" one of the security officers couldn't help but ask.

"Silence! You can slander me, bully me, and throw mud at me all you want—I don't care—but you cannot defile Professor Shen's research results!" Ye Lin scolded sternly.

The dozens of sophomore security officers were stunned. When did they ever defile Professor Shen's research results? Wasn't the Disintegration Technique just a suicide skill?

They didn't know that Ye Lin wasn't saying these words for them to hear, but for the cameras on their chests.

At Daxia Academy, his only backer was Shen Jingbin, so he naturally had to make good use of him.

"You all remember this: from this day forward, Professor Shen is no longer a lonely man without students. I will not let anyone insult him by even half a word again!"

"Those who insult Professor Shen shall be punished, no matter how far away they are!"

"Forbidden Spell..."

A terrifying aura surged from Ye Lin's body, and the dozens of security officers instantly became alert.

"Spread out! Don't give him a chance to hit many people at once! Try to attack him and interrupt his Forbidden Spell casting!"

As sophomores, these security officers were clearly much more seasoned than Liu Yutong's group when working together. They immediately scattered like stars in the sky and attacked Ye Lin together.

Just then, Ye Lin, who had been brewing a Forbidden Spell, suddenly paused, followed by a mouthful of blood spraying out, and his aura instantly withered.

"Oh no! He's been backlashed by the Forbidden Spell he just used!"

Han Huizhen exclaimed, hurriedly summoning vines to try and protect Ye Lin.

But there were too many security officers attacking; the vines were instantly shattered, and Ye Lin was blasted away. His body traced a parabola in the air before falling heavily to the ground.

"Boss!" Ji Lingyu exclaimed, then angrily drew his sword. "You bunch of dogs! When that group was dealing with us, you played missing, and now you know how to come out and uphold justice? You're in cahoots! You're all cut from the same cloth!"

Even knowing he was no match, Ji Lingyu still gripped his sword and prepared to charge.

At this moment, a large hand pressed onto his shoulder to stop him.

"Cough... cough, cough, cough!" Ye Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Don't you all intervene. This is a matter between them and me. They insulted Professor Shen, so they must pay the price for it!"

"Boss..." Ji Lingyu looked at Ye Lin with worry.

Ye Lin walked past him, heading toward the dozens of security officers without a second thought.

With every step he took, the aura on Ye Lin's body grew stronger, and by the time he took the seventh step, blood-colored flames were already burning on his body!

"Forbidden Spell—Burning Reincarnation!"

This scene gave all the security officers a fright.

"He's actually starting to burn his life force? Are you really crazy!"

No one had expected that Ye Lin would be crazy to this extent. He started burning his life force at the slightest disagreement; it was simply shocking!

But Ye Lin ignored them entirely and raised his hand in a summoning gesture.

"Spirit, come!"

Duan Ling, still in a state of unconsciousness, flew instantly into Ye Lin's hand. Ye Lin stroked Duan Ling gently, as if he were caressing a peerless sword.

"Everyone living in this world has their own bottom line. You insulted Professor Shen's research results, which has already touched my, Ye Lin's, bottom line!"

"Enough talk, come and fight!"

Ye Lin raised Duan Ling, pointing her head toward the dozens of security officers.

In the monitoring room at this moment, Shen Jingbin's eyes were slightly red, and his fists were tightly clenched. If the Crying Soul Secret Realm weren't currently inaccessible, he likely would have already charged inside.

It had been a very, very long time since he had experienced this feeling of being valued and cared about by someone.

And seeing Ye Lin's lonely back as he fought alone, Shen Jingbin's heart tightened even further.

He turned his head angrily to look at the room full of professors in the monitoring room.

"Who is the mentor of those security officers? Stand up! I want to challenge you to a duel. I will challenge all of you alone!" Shen Jingbin rolled up his sleeves and roared.

"Professor Shen... please calm down... there's no need to escalate students' matters to us teachers..."

Yan Lanbing tried to dissuade Shen Jingbin, but to his surprise, Shen Jingbin suddenly attacked in the next second, slamming a fist into his eye socket. One of Yan Lanbing's eyes instantly swelled into a panda eye.

"It would be better if you didn't speak! The moment you spoke, I remembered! Aren't you the Dean, damn it? These students have acted so excessively, and you, as the Dean, cannot shirk the responsibility!"

"Come out and fight me one-on-one!"

"Aminos!"
