Chapter 63: If You're Going to Act, Do It Thoroughly

At this instant, the entire Qingcheng fell into dead silence.

It was as if someone had pressed a pause button on time.

This sudden scene shocked everyone present.

No one could have imagined that Luo Jun would directly unleash a Forbidden Spell, and even less that Luo Jun could pierce Ye Lin through the chest with a single spear strike.

"Luo Jun... won!"

"I really didn't expect this. Isn't a Forbidden Spellcaster supposed to be invincible at the same level? This Ye Lin was actually defeated by Luo Jun, who is 4 levels lower than him!"

"Luo Jun is really willing to go all out, actually unleashing a Forbidden Spell directly!"

The crowd discussed it in hushed tones, their eyes filled with shock.

"Old Dog Su! You old thing! To win, you actually taught a Forbidden Spell to a student?"

Gao Zhenyu was overcome with rage and rushed over, wanting to fight Principal Su to the death.

Although Luo Jun's talent was high, his current strength was not enough to master a Forbidden Spell; the only explanation was that Principal Su, in order to secure the top scholar title for Qingcheng, was willing to disregard Luo Jun's future just to make him learn a Forbidden Spell.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Principal Su wore a smug smile at the corner of his mouth and spoke indifferently.

"What's wrong? Is there any rule saying one cannot teach a Forbidden Spell to a student? A loss is a loss; what, you don't want to admit it?"

"Shameless!"

Gao Zhenyu cursed in anger, and the expressions of the other principals were also somewhat unsightly.

Unleashing a Forbidden Spell places a massive burden on the body, especially since Luo Jun is an SSS-rank profession with a limitless future.

To choose to sacrifice a future genius seedling just to secure the top scholar title clearly went against their philosophy of teaching and nurturing students.

"Luo Jun agreed to it himself, so there's no need for you to worry," Principal Su said, composed and in high spirits.

So what if he is a Forbidden Spellcaster? This year's top scholar would still belong to their Yucai High School.

Zhuge Ni stared blankly at the arena, her mood at this moment indescribably complex.

She had not expected Ye Lin to lose to Luo Jun.

However, that spear strike from Luo Jun was indeed terrifying; even Zhuge Ni was not confident she could have dodged it.

Originally, she had desperately hoped to defeat Ye Lin, but now, seeing that Ye Lin was about to die, Zhuge Ni could not help but sigh; when a person dies, the light goes out, and there was no need for her to keep holding a grudge against him.

She had long advised Ye Lin that the power of the Forbidden Spellcaster profession was obtained by overdrawing one's future and life, but it was a pity Ye Lin had not listened to her words.

"If you had listened to advice, perhaps you wouldn't have ended up like this today," Zhuge Ni shook her head and murmured in a low voice.

On the arena, Luo Jun was panting heavily, his face deathly pale; it was clear that unleashing the Forbidden Spell 'Dark Dragon Meteor' had also taken a massive toll on him.

"So what if you're level 18? Aren't you still going to be defeated by my spear?" Luo Jun said triumphantly.

"Who told you... I was defeated?" Ye Lin raised his eyes calmly.

"Your heart has been pierced, and you're still being stubborn?" Luo Jun sneered with disdain.

"It seems Forbidden Spellcasters haven't appeared for so long that the world has forgotten the terror of this profession."

Ye Lin calmly opened his arms.

"No one can kill a Forbidden Spellcaster; a Forbidden Spellcaster only dies by their own Forbidden Spell!"

"Forbidden Spell—Undying and Indestructible!"

As Ye Lin unleashed the Forbidden Spell, a mysterious power erupted from his body, and the air around the arena seemed to solidify.

Even though his heart had been pierced, Ye Lin was now acting as if nothing had happened, swinging the Star Meteor Heavenly Scar and continuing to hack toward Luo Jun.

Luo Jun's expression changed abruptly; to still have such terrifying power after being pierced through the heart—is this guy even human?

At the same time, the Twin Yin-Yang Bracelets on Ye Lin's wrists lit up, and a powerful energy was rapidly restoring Ye Lin's body.

The wound caused by the Dark Dragon Meteor was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it disappeared completely.

This sudden scene caused an uproar among everyone!

They had never seen anyone survive being pierced through the heart; was this guy an immortal?

Only a few people saw what was happening, including the examiners like Lin Yuan.

"Undying and Indestructible? Wasn't this Forbidden Spell lost long ago? I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes in my lifetime! The Forbidden Spellcaster profession is too terrifying; they are born with the ability to master Forbidden Spells!"

"At the cost of one's own lifespan, to be immune to lethal damage—this Forbidden Spell can indeed be considered the strongest and most practical one; it can directly grant immunity to one fatal blow."

"First using Undying and Indestructible to be immune to lethal damage, then activating equipment to heal the wound—this kid is too calm! If he weren't a Forbidden Spellcaster, he would definitely achieve great things in the future."

An examiner couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes filled with regret.

Being a Forbidden Spellcaster meant a short life; this was an ironclad fact.

Ye Lin pressed on step by step, every swing of the Star Meteor Heavenly Scar carrying terrifying power.

Luo Jun was forced into a steady retreat; he had originally thought that piercing the heart with one spear strike had secured the victory, but now it seemed that was entirely his own wishful thinking!

Seeing that he was about to lose, a flash of ferocity crossed Luo Jun's eyes; since he had already unleashed it once, he didn't mind doing it again!

"Forbidden Spell—Dark Dragon Meteor!"

Luo Jun unleashed the Forbidden Spell again, and this time, he aimed for Ye Lin's head!

Seeing the black spear erupt with dazzling light and strike at him again, Ye Lin frowned; he didn't want to unleash Undying and Indestructible in public again, as using this thing too much might eventually lead to his secret being exposed.

Consequently, Ye Lin directly raised his hand.

"Forbidden Spell—World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

Since this kid liked Forbidden Spells so much, he would just have a Forbidden Spell duel with him.

Ye Lin pressed his palm forward, and suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and bolts of thunder flashed wildly, as if they were about to submerge the entire arena.

"Boom!"

Following Ye Lin's action, a thick bolt of thunder struck down directly from the dark clouds, slamming straight toward Luo Jun.

"Impossible!"

Luo Jun's terrified scream rang out; why was the power of the Forbidden Spell unleashed by Ye Lin so terrifying when it was the same spell?

He tried frantically to dodge, but the speed of the thunder was too fast, and he had no time to react at all.

The thunder struck Luo Jun fiercely, blasting his body away and slamming him hard against the edge of the arena.

Luo Jun was charred all over, with electric arcs occasionally sparking from his body; if it weren't for the fact that he was lying at the edge of the arena and his body was still twitching, everyone would have suspected he was already a corpse.

Looking at Luo Jun's miserable state, the entire arena was silent.

No one had expected that just a second ago Luo Jun was in a winning position, and the next second, he would be blasted into charcoal by a bolt of thunder from Ye Lin.

This sudden reversal left everyone not knowing how to react for a moment.

Ye Lin stood calmly on the arena; suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he coughed up blood, collapsed to the ground, and his face turned deathly pale.

If you're going to act, you have to do it thoroughly; he had just released a high-power Forbidden Spell, so if he acted like nothing was wrong, wouldn't that invite suspicion?
