Chapter 4: Forbidden Spells Cost Your Life? Let's Try Releasing a Few to Test the Waters

An ordinary ring without any skill bonuses, but fortunately it adds 10 points of mental strength; better than nothing, Ye Lin silently accepted it.

Don't look at this ring's extremely ordinary attributes; if one were to spend money to buy it, it would probably cost five to eight thousand, nearly equivalent to a third of one of his kidneys.

This is also why it is said that class-changers are extremely money-burning; just gathering a full set of the lowest-level ordinary equipment is worth a fortune, let alone the rarer Epic and Legendary equipment further up.

"This is a subsidy I am giving you out of my own pocket. Work hard! Strive to reach level ten or higher!" The principal looked at Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni with great anticipation.

"Thank you, Principal, I will work hard."

Ye Lin thanked the principal, stood up, and walked out of the office.

By this time, the class-change ceremony had already ended; some were happy and some were sad, but when they saw Ye Lin, smiles appeared on their faces.

Yes, no matter what class they changed into, and no matter if the class change succeeded or failed, at least they were still alive, weren't they?

It was better than this Ye Lin, who changed into a Forbidden Spellcaster and was essentially declaring that his days were numbered.

Human happiness is derived from comparison; compared to Ye Lin, they suddenly felt that life didn't seem so bad after all.

"Ye Lin!"

Just as Ye Lin was preparing to go home, Zhuge Ni called out to him, strode over to his side with her long legs, and stood on the steps, looking down at him from above.

"I advise you to think it over carefully. The more frequently a Forbidden Spellcaster fights, the faster they die. I have no ill intent; we are just classmates, and I don't want you to die too quickly." Zhuge Ni's tone carried a deep sense of pity.

"Thanks for your concern, but let's forget about the team-up." Ye Lin refused.

"You!" Zhuge Ni glared at him. She had advised Ye Lin time and again, but she hadn't expected this guy to be so stubborn; it really is hard to persuade a ghost who is determined to die.

Forget it, let go of the urge to help and respect others' fates, Zhuge Ni silently admonished herself in her heart, deciding to stop caring about whether Ye Lin lived or died.

"Tsk, who is this? Oh~ so it's our SSS-class owner, classmate Ye Lin!"

A mocking voice rang out, and Ji Lingyu, leading a group of people, blocked Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni.

He was the young master of the Qingcheng Ji Group, usually reigning supreme in Qingcheng High School, and had been high-profile in pursuing Zhuge Ni for a long time.

In this school, who didn't know that Zhuge Ni was Ji Lingyu's reverse scale? Did this kid really think he could rise up just because he changed into a Forbidden Spellcaster?

Zhuge Ni, standing to the side, had wanted to drive Ji Lingyu away, but thinking of Ye Lin's stubborn attitude, she suddenly decided to remain silent. It might be good for Ji Lingyu to teach this Ye Lin a lesson; perhaps it would make him change his mind, so he wouldn't really think a Forbidden Spellcaster could be mentioned in the same breath as other SSS-class professions—that was trading one's life for combat power.

Looking at Ji Lingyu's cold, piercing gaze, Ye Lin was speechless. Women really are sources of disaster; he had been at Qingcheng High School for three years without provoking anyone, and Zhuge Ni had brought trouble to his doorstep with just two sentences.

"Please move aside, I'm going home." Ye Lin didn't want to cause trouble.

"Going home? Back to that slum of yours where sewage flows everywhere?"

Ji Lingyu sneered.

"You're technically an SSS-class professional now, so why don't you beg me? How about I arrange a security guard position for you in my Ji Group that includes room and board? That way you won't have to live in the slums anymore. Aren't I good to you?"

The few lackeys behind Ji Lingyu immediately chimed in with sneers upon hearing this.

"Ye Lin, you really are lucky as hell. You can actually enter the Ji Group as a bodyguard. Why don't you hurry up and thank Young Master Ji and kowtow a few times?"

Facing the mockery of the group, Ye Lin clenched his fists, panting like an ox, looking as if he had suffered great humiliation.

"Don't push me too far!" Ye Lin roared.

Ji Lingyu was startled. If nothing else, the current Ye Lin was a genuine Forbidden Spellcaster.

But soon, he wore a smug smile again. Releasing skills as a Forbidden Spellcaster costs one's life; could it be that Ye Lin was going to risk his life against him just because of a few words?

"Classmate Ye Lin, I'm doing this out of the kindness of my heart. How can this be considered bullying you?" Ji Lingyu reached out and lightly patted Ye Lin's face.

The damage was minimal, but the insult was extreme.

This gave Ji Lingyu a great sense of pleasure. So what if he's an SSS-class professional? Daring to get close to Zhuge Ni, he still had to be humiliated by him, Ji Lingyu.

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew very well that when facing someone like Ji Lingyu, once you back down, you only invite even more severe humiliation.

If he wanted to make Ji Lingyu afraid to provoke him in the future, he had to let Ji Lingyu know that he was not a little white rabbit, but a lion with bared fangs and claws.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin's eyes instantly turned blood-red.

"Ji Lingyu, you've pushed me too far! You forced me to do this!"

"Forbidden Spell—World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

Ye Lin roared and raised a hand. Instantly, dark clouds gathered, and a surging thunderstorm converged, with silver-white lightning arcs weaving through the clouds.

Boom!

A violent bolt of lightning as thick as a thigh struck down from the clouds, connecting with Ye Lin's palm. At this moment, Ye Lin looked like a god wielding lightning, dazzling and incomparable.

Countless people around looked at Ye Lin in terror. With this kind of power, is he really a level 1 class-changer?

As Ye Lin's raised hand fell, the terrifying lightning struck directly beside Ji Lingyu, blasting him away, and a huge deep pit appeared on the ground.

"Ye Lin, are you f***ing crazy?" Ji Lingyu, having brushed shoulders with the Grim Reaper, almost wet his pants from fear.

He only wanted to humiliate Ye Lin and make him stay away from Zhuge Ni in the future. Who knew this kid would just cast a Forbidden Spell without caring about his own life? Is he a lunatic?

If Ye Lin's aim hadn't been slightly off, he would already be a charred corpse.

However, facing Ji Lingyu's questioning, Ye Lin did not respond and instead raised his hand again.

"Forbidden Spell—World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

"F***! He's crazy, Ye Lin is crazy! Help! Save me!"

Ji Lingyu was completely terrified. He just insulted him a couple of times and he wanted to die together with him? Everyone is afraid of a lunatic like this!

He struggled to crawl up, but his legs had already gone soft from fear.

"Pull me up!"

He called out to his lackeys for help, but those people were only concerned with saving their own lives; how could they care about Ji Lingyu?

"You bunch of dogs!" Ji Lingyu was frantic. At this moment, accompanied by a loud boom, an even more terrifying bolt of lightning struck down beside him.

Ji Lingyu froze in place, and a foul-smelling liquid flowed down his pant leg. This feeling of hovering on the edge of life and death was truly a test for the human sphincter.

But fortunately, this bolt of lightning didn't hit him either. It was finally over, and a hot tear slid from the corner of Ji Lingyu's eye.

Just as Ji Lingyu was thinking this, an angry voice rang out again, like a soul-reaping Asura.

"Forbidden Spell—World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"
