Chapter 64: The Dancer Dancing in the Fire

Luo Jun was struck by a bolt of lightning and turned into charcoal, after which he was carried off by the medical staff.

Since this guy had struck with such ruthlessness, Ye Lin naturally would not be polite to him.

This battle also ended with Ye Lin's victory, and Ye Lin's score reached 140 points.

This also meant that the final of this year's college entrance examination would be Zhuge Ni against Ye Lin; it was an internal battle for Qingcheng High School.

No matter who won, the top scholar would be from Qingcheng High School, and Gao Zhenyu had already started popping champagne in celebration ahead of time.

And if one were to ask who was the least able to accept Luo Jun's defeat, it would naturally be Principal Su of Yucai High School.

He was grinding his teeth so hard they were about to shatter, staring fixedly at Ye Lin on the arena.

In order to win, he had spared no effort to teach Luo Jun a forbidden spell, not caring even if it ruined Luo Jun's future.

Yet even so, he still lost in the end; how could Principal Su accept this?

"I want to file a complaint! I must file a complaint! Ye Lin of Qingcheng High School has committed the act of intentionally killing his opponent! He is an 18th-level class-changer using a forbidden spell of such immense power against a 14th-level class-changer; this is murder!" Principal Su stood up and roared.

On the arena, intentionally killing an opponent is absolutely forbidden; everyone who can enter the arena tournament is a heaven-gifted talent, and as long as they grow up, they will all be individuals capable of standing on their own.

No matter which one dies, it is a huge loss for Great Xia.

Therefore, the college entrance examination trials have a rule: as long as one causes the death of an opponent, they will be disqualified, and all their results will be cancelled.

If this were any other time, seeing Luo Jun's dying, miserable state, everyone would surely have been swayed by Principal Su.

But remembering the ruthlessness with which Luo Jun had just tried to pierce Ye Lin's heart with his spear, everyone's expressions were extremely strange.

If we are talking about intentionally killing an opponent, Luo Jun's attempt was the real murder.

If Ye Lin were not a Forbidden Spellcaster but some other profession, he would have been crippled if not dead.

"If you want to file a complaint, go find the exam proctor; shouting here is useless." Gao Zhenyu sneered, looking at Principal Su as if he were a clown.

"Gao Zhenyu! You just wait, this isn't over!"

Principal Su gritted his teeth, then turned and left, unwilling to continue watching.

What followed was the internal battle of Qingcheng High School; watching it would only add to his own frustration.

"It's a deal, a double blessing!"

Gao Zhenyu grinned, the wrinkles on his face smoothing out at this moment.

"I originally thought that my Qingcheng High School having an internal final was already happy enough, but I didn't expect the eyesore to be sensible enough to leave on his own; this is great!"

Principal Su, who had walked halfway away, stumbled upon hearing this, almost unable to resist turning back to have a fight with Gao Zhenyu.

"Sigh, so tired; why is the college entrance exam more tiring than fighting Kensen?" Ye Lin muttered to himself in a low voice as he walked off the arena.

When dealing with Kensen, he could go all out, using as many forbidden spells as he wanted.

But in the college entrance exam arena, he was tied up everywhere, afraid of being seen through.

After all, the arena tournament was being broadcast live, with countless eyes watching.

Otherwise, given Luo Jun's strength, let alone stabbing himself with a spear, a hundred Luo Juns tied together wouldn't be enough for him to kill.

He still had to improve his strength as quickly as possible; once his strength was high enough that he didn't fear others discovering his immortal body, he wouldn't have to be so restricted anymore.

Moreover, the final match was against Zhuge Ni, which gave Ye Lin an even bigger headache.

He certainly couldn't just throw a forbidden spell at her like he did with Luo Jun; otherwise, if he turned Zhuge Ni into charcoal, Zhuge Qianxing would definitely not let him off.

"Let me think... is there any forbidden spell that can be used..."

Ye Lin was having a massive headache; he was in urgent need of a forbidden spell that could defeat Zhuge Ni without hurting her too badly.

Things like World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder or Karma Fire Burning the Heavens definitely wouldn't work; those forbidden spells couldn't even be withstood by a warrior class like Luo Jun, so a mage like Zhuge Ni would surely die if she even grazed them.

Just as Ye Lin was struggling with his headache, the seventh round, which was the final, arrived.

However, for many people, there was no longer any suspense regarding this final.

In the battle with Luo Jun, Ye Lin had already explained the terror of a Forbidden Spellcaster with his actions; Zhuge Ni would be finished if she took even one forbidden spell.

On the arena, Zhuge Ni stood opposite Ye Lin, her beautiful face filled with complexity.

She had originally thought that Ye Lin was about to die under Luo Jun's spear, but she hadn't expected Ye Lin to suddenly turn the situation around with an immortal forbidden spell.

Accompanied by the proctor's order, this battle that would decide the top scholar of Qingcheng was officially declared started.

But strangely, neither Ye Lin nor Zhuge Ni had any intention of moving; both of them just stood blankly in place.

Ye Lin was afraid of accidentally killing Zhuge Ni with a forbidden spell, while Zhuge Ni didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, Zhuge Ni spoke coldly.

"Ye Lin, if you need to rest, I can wait for you to rest enough before we fight; I don't want to take advantage of you."

"No need, just go ahead."

Ye Lin waved his hand, his face full of distress.

He thought through all the forbidden spells he currently knew, and there wasn't a single one he could use.

Forbidden spells either had no attack power—such as Instantaneous Dance, Burning Reincarnation, or Necrotic Return—which had other effects, and those that did have attack power didn't have a single one with low intensity.

"Fine! Then don't blame me for being impolite, because I have a reason I must win!"

A look of determination flashed in Zhuge Ni's eyes, and immediately after, she opened her tome and cast a skill.

"Bursting Phoenix Fire!"

On the arena, flames instantly surged, turning into ball after ball of fire with terrifyingly high temperatures, whistling toward Ye Lin.

"Forbidden Spell—Instantaneous Dance!"

Facing the incoming fireballs, Ye Lin immediately sacrificed a kidney in exchange for a five-fold agility boost.

Since he couldn't fight, he could only drag it out, dragging it out until Zhuge Ni's mana was exhausted.

He only had 140 points right now; to enter the Supreme Academy, he had to get a perfect score, which meant he couldn't lose this match.

Ye Lin's figure flashed rapidly within the flames, like a ghost weaving through a sea of fire.

His movements were fast to the extreme, changing positions every moment; those whistling fireballs could only graze his body every time, unable to touch him in the slightest.

On the arena, the flames were raging, but Ye Lin's figure moved through them as freely as flowing water.

This scene left everyone watching in awe; it was simply unbelievable that a Forbidden Spellcaster could have such high agility.

But soon, they noticed something wrong.

"Why is Ye Lin only dodging and not attacking? Wouldn't he win if he used that lightning forbidden spell from before?"

"Maybe that lightning forbidden spell consumes too much, and Ye Lin can't use it a second time for a while?"

"That must be it, otherwise how else to explain him only dodging and not attacking."

"If you ask me, this Ye Lin must think Zhuge Ni is pretty and has developed a heart of cherishing the fair sex, which is why he isn't making a move!"

"Your information is too outdated; I heard a rumor that Ye Lin has already been taken as a disciple by Mr. Zhuge, and he is intentionally trying to yield the top scholar spot to Zhuge Ni!"
