Chapter 224

"Not people of the same world? What, are you guys going to heaven?" Ye Lin asked rhetorically.

"You don't need to be so hostile. I'm just stating a fact. What level are you now?" Student Zhuge Ni asked.

"Level 28, so what?"

Student Zhuge Ni looked at Ye Lin with a complex expression, feeling a bit of sigh in her heart.

Once upon a time, she had set defeating Ye Lin as her goal and had put all her effort into it, almost becoming a demon obsession in her heart.

But after coming to the Supreme Academy and seeing countless young talents and heaven-defying monsters, Student Zhuge Ni realized how narrow her mindset had been before, like a frog in a well looking up at the moon.

The Ye Lin she had struggled so hard to defeat before was, compared to those true monsters in the Supreme Academy, completely the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

Leveling up five times in a day, hunting monsters ten levels above one's own, perfectly mastering a divine artifact in a month—such heaven-defying monsters were everywhere in the Supreme Academy. In Student Zhuge Ni's view, these were the targets she should be chasing.

When she heard that Ye Lin was only level 28 now, Student Zhuge Ni became even more certain of her thoughts.

She herself was already level 35, and among the one hundred freshmen in the entire Supreme Academy, the last place was now level 30.

Level 28 couldn't even be considered a tail-ender in the Supreme Academy.

Therefore, Student Zhuge Ni completely let go of her previous grudges against Ye Lin; after all, she was now destined not to be in the same world as Ye Lin.

"You should think about it carefully. I have no ill intentions; I just don't want you to act on impulse. After all, you did me a favor." Student Zhuge Ni sighed, her eyes filled with a hint of pity as she looked at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this.

That's nice; the sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Student Zhuge Ni felt she could do it again.

Although this girl wasn't as overbearing as before and had become a bit more polite, she still had that old habit of doing whatever she wanted.

"Thanks for your good intentions, but no need." Ye Lin waved his hand and turned to leave with Duan Ling. After paying the corresponding fees, they stepped into the Dragon Pool Realm.

Watching their retreating backs, a cold light flashed in Heng Wu's eyes, and he asked Student Zhuge Ni.

"Student Zhuge Ni, didn't you say you'd handle it? You just let them take the mission and leave like that?"

"Then what do you want?" Student Zhuge Ni frowned.

"Hmph! It's simple: steal it!" Heng Wu sneered.

"Are you sure? He's a Forbidden Spellcaster," Student Zhuge Ni reminded him.

"So what if he's a Forbidden Spellcaster? He's only level 28. If he wants to deal with a level 50 Green-Scaled Flood Serpent King, he'll definitely need to release a forbidden spell! Don't forget, if you release forbidden spells consecutively, the damage to your body increases geometrically."

Heng Wu analyzed calmly, his cold, sinister eyes like a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness, ready to deliver a fatal blow to its prey at any moment.

"We'll strike just after he finishes dealing with the Green-Scaled Flood Serpent King—that's when he'll be at his weakest! At that time, he'll likely not dare to fight us. Even if he's willing to risk everything to release a forbidden spell and fight us to the death, our chances of winning are still very high!"

Listening to Heng Wu's analysis, Student Zhuge Ni couldn't help but secretly admire him in her heart.

Back in Qingcheng, everyone felt that a Forbidden Spellcaster was an invincible, powerful existence. But in the eyes of these geniuses and monsters at the Supreme Academy, every profession had its weaknesses, and Forbidden Spellcasters were no exception.

In the eyes of these people, there was simply no such concept as "invincible."

The others in the team also nodded in agreement after hearing Heng Wu's analysis.

Who among those who could enter the Supreme Academy wasn't a person of extraordinary talent? It was clearly impossible for a mere level 28 Forbidden Spellcaster to scare them off.

"I have only one request: don't kill anyone," Student Zhuge Ni said in a low voice.

"No problem. As long as that kid is sensible, I definitely won't kill him," Heng Wu grinned, revealing a confidence that radiated from his very bones.

After confirming their target, the group from the Supreme Academy also entered the Dragon Pool Realm.

Inside the Dragon Pool Realm.

A winding mountain range lay on the earth like a giant dragon.

The mountain was covered with countless plants, but these plants were not green; instead, they shimmered with an extremely eerie, multicolored luster.

Many of the plants' leaves even dripped with a milky white liquid, emitting a pungent, fishy odor—clearly, they were highly poisonous.

The air was thick and humid, filled with dense fog. Visibility was low, and it felt as if countless pairs of eyes were quietly peeking at Ye Lin and Duan Ling from within the fog.

"Is this the Dragon Pool Realm? It really lives up to its reputation!"

Ye Lin took a deep breath, and his face instantly turned purple; clearly, he had already been poisoned.

"Let's go, let's find the Green-Scaled Flood Serpent King first."

With his Undying Body activated, Ye Lin's complexion instantly returned to normal. He briefly identified the direction and led Duan Ling toward the east.

They hadn't taken two steps when a faint hissing sound rang out from the fog.

Ye Lin flicked his Great Sumeru Ring, and the Imperial Gold Spear instantly appeared, piercing through the creature in the fog in an instant.

With a flick of the spear, the corpse of a long snake as thick as a bucket was hoisted up by Ye Lin.

【Party kill of level 32 Fierce Poison Golden Python, reward 319 experience points.】

Duan Ling also received the notification. Because Ye Lin had killed it in one hit, she only received 1 experience point.

Duan Ling covered her mouth in surprise, looking at Ye Lin in disbelief.

"No forbidden spell, just a one-hit kill on a level 32 Fierce Poison Golden Python? How did you do that?"

Although she had seen Ye Lin slaughter monsters with just his physical body like a wolf among sheep back in the Weeping Soul Realm, those monsters were just small fry around level ten.

But this was a level 32 Fierce Poison Golden Python! And it had the poisonous fog as natural cover. If she were to do it, she would have to fight it for at least a while before she could take it down.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you," Ye Lin said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Duan Ling nodded seriously. Forbidden Spellcasters were supposed to have extremely weak physical bodies due to the drain of their spells.

But Ye Lin's physical body was not only not weak, it was outrageously powerful. If Ye Lin were willing to teach her, the benefits for Duan Ling would undoubtedly be unparalleled.

A Poison Warlock with a powerful physical body—just thinking about it was scary.

"Actually, it's very simple: read more books, read more newspapers, eat fewer snacks, sleep more, and then do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day."

"Then what? That's it?" Duan Ling asked, half-believing as she took notes.

"Of course not! After doing all that, there's one most important point!" Ye Lin said mysteriously.

"What?"

"Find a way to get an eight-star divine artifact!"
