Chapter 251: Who Among You Is the Best at Fighting?

That night, a perfectly intact septic tank mysteriously appeared at Daxia Academy.

From then on, Daxia Academy returned to its former tranquility.

Yan Lanbing could probably guess where this thing came from, but he didn't say, because he was kind.

Early the next morning, Duan Ling was dragged out of her blankets by Ye Lin; the sleepy and dazed Duan Ling immediately pouted.

"No more! I'm really not doing it, go find a mistress, I want to sleep!"

Ye Lin had a face full of black lines; what kind of wild talk was this silly girl spouting?

"Rest assured, this time I'm not here to chisel you; do you want to go to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm?"

"Hmm?!"

Duan Ling's eyes lit up, and she sat right up.

"But, haven't the spots for Daxia Academy to go to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm this year already been decided?"

"The Dean said, if you beat one of them, you can take their place. Interested?" Ye Lin blinked his eyes.

"Yes!"

Duan Ling nodded immediately, then nimbly put on her clothes.

The two of them headed toward the Daxia Academy training ground against the morning light, where Yan Lanbing was already waiting, and behind Yan Lanbing stood five people, three men and two women.

The five stood tall and straight, the aura radiating from them sharp and powerful, and they were sizing up Ye Lin and his companion with a hint of hostility.

"Dean, good morning! You look even more charming today than yesterday!" Ye Lin greeted Yan Lanbing.

"Hmph! Glib-tongued!"

Yan Lanbing suppressed the corner of his mouth and said with a straight face to the five people behind him.

"Let me introduce you; these two are Ye Lin and Duan Ling, freshmen who just enrolled this year, and they are the ones who will be challenging you today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the five became somewhat strange.

Freshmen? Challenging the five of them? What an unfamiliar term.

A burly boy with well-defined muscle lines couldn't help but speak up.

"Dean, are you serious? Two freshmen challenging us? Have they even reached level 30?"

This boy was named Zhang Xing, and he carried a giant axe on his shoulder; the axe blade surged with a cold glint, as if it could split apart any obstacle in front of it.

"I am very serious. Survival of the fittest; those who go to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm can only be the five strongest people currently at my Daxia Academy." Yan Lanbing nodded.

Seeing that Yan Lanbing was not joking, the five looked at Ye Lin and the other with a bit more curiosity.

If Yan Lanbing agreed to let these two challenge them, there could only be one possibility: Yan Lanbing felt that these two had a chance to defeat them.

This made it hard for Zhang Xing and the others to believe; the five of them were geniuses in their own right, and it had taken various grade-skipping to reach their senior year before turning 20.

But now, to be told that two people were going to defeat them as freshmen was simply a fantasy to them.

"You should all report your classes and levels to each other. Zhang Xing, you go first." Yan Lanbing instructed.

"Zhang Xing, level 49, class SSS-grade Berserker Axeman." With that, Zhang Xing flexed his muscles, his burly body like a small mountain.

"Zhu Yuquan, level 51, class SSS-grade Elemental Mage." A boy in green robes gave Ye Lin and his companion a refined and gentle smile.

"Yuan Jingtong, level 48, class SSS-grade Crimson Flame Knight." Compared to the other four, the hostility in Yuan Jingtong's eyes toward Ye Lin and his companion was clearly much greater; after all, as the one with the lowest level, he was the most likely to be chosen as the target for the challenge.

"Liang Yu, level 50, class SSS-grade Red Lotus Assassin." A girl with bangs covering her eyes introduced herself timidly.

"Hu Baiqing, level 54, class SSS-grade Ghost Swordsman."

The last to speak was a woman with long, jet-black hair tied up high, her eyes deep and revealing a cold, aloof arrogance.

A black longsword hung behind her, faintly exuding a bone-chilling sword aura.

It had to be said that the five people selected by Daxia Academy were indeed very strong, all of them SSS-grade classes, and the combat power of each was clearly far beyond their peers.

After the five finished their introductions, Duan Ling stood out and spoke.

"Duan Ling, level 39, class SSS-grade Plague Poison Warlock."

After she could control the toxins in her body on her own, Duan Ling had become much more sunny and cheerful, so when they heard that Duan Ling was a Plague Poison Warlock, Zhang Xing and the others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After all, in their impression, Plague Poison Warlocks were basically always gloomy and hidden from the light, just like venomous snakes.

They hadn't expected that a little girl who looked cute and adorable would actually be a Plague Poison Warlock.

But soon their expressions became solemn; a Plague Poison Warlock was one of the few classes whose combat power could not be measured by level.

The poison on a Plague Poison Warlock could easily poison someone of a higher level than themselves.

If one wasn't careful when fighting a Plague Poison Warlock, it was common to capsize in the gutter.

And what shocked them even more was Duan Ling's level!

A freshman's level was actually as high as 39; this already surpassed many sophomore and even junior students.

No wonder the Dean would agree to a freshman challenging them.

Then the five turned their gazes toward Ye Lin.

In their view, since Ye Lin could appear with Duan Ling today, he certainly wouldn't be an ordinary person.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Lin spoke slowly.

"Ye Lin, level 28, class SSS-grade Forbidden Spellcaster."

"How much?" Zhang Xing doubted his own ears. "You said how much?"

"Level 28."

Silence.

A long silence.

Although the Forbidden Spellcaster class was recognized as invincible at the same level, but... wasn't level 28 too low? It was nearly half their level.

With such a large level gap, one would probably have to pay the highest price to cast a forbidden spell to bridge it; cast one and suffer second-degree disability, cast two and be paralyzed for life, cast three and depart from this world.

"Dean, you seem to be teasing me." Zhang Xing's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Hu Baiqing, who had originally gained a little interest, lowered her eyes in disappointment upon hearing this; she had thought some tough character was coming.

"Alright, the introductions are over. Ye Lin, you choose an opponent yourselves." Yan Lanbing said.

"You pick that level 48 one; he should be the easiest to deal with among the five." Ye Lin pointed at Yuan Jingtong and said.

Setting aside the level, as a Crimson Flame Knight, Yuan Jingtong was clearly inferior to the others in terms of long-range attack ability and speed. If Duan Ling could keep her distance from him and use the Poison of the Yellow Springs to fight a war of attrition, the chances of winning would be very high.

Although the two had a 9-level gap, unless Yuan Jingtong could also control a divine artifact, the existence of the divine artifact Nether Yellow Springs could completely bridge the level gap between them.

"Okay! Dean, I choose to challenge senior student Yuan Jingtong!" Duan Ling followed Ye Lin's suggestion.

Hearing that he had indeed been chosen as the target for the challenge, a flash of anger crossed Yuan Jingtong's eyes. Once he lost, what he would lose was the opportunity to enter the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm! After this year, he would never have the chance to enter again in his life!

"Very well! I will definitely make you regret challenging me; even if you are a junior, I will still beat you!" Yuan Jingtong's eyes were full of ferocity.

Seeing that Duan Ling had already chosen Yuan Jingtong as her opponent, Hu Baiqing shook her head and turned to leave.

"Dean, I have something else to do, I won't accompany these two children in their game of house."

Since even Duan Ling hadn't chosen to challenge her, then the remaining Ye Lin, who was only level 28, was even less likely to challenge her.

After all, she was the strongest among the five.

"Wait a moment!"

Ye Lin suddenly called out to her, then asked with a beaming smile.

"Among you here, who is the best at fighting?"
