Chapter 85

"Teacher Ceng, can I go now?" Ye Lin asked.

"Ah? Oh, yes, you can."

Ye Lin's voice brought Ceng Canqi back from his shock.

It was too terrifying; in just one month, he could level up seven levels in a row; this was simply unheard of.

He couldn't even imagine how fast Ye Lin's efficiency in killing monsters in the Realm would be.

No wonder the Forbidden Spell Master profession doesn't live past 25; God opens a window for you, but will close the door and then use the door to clamp your head.

If a Forbidden Spell Master could have the same lifespan as other professions, then other professions wouldn't need to mix, and could just find a 36E and hit their head against it to die.

"Hey, no, wait, you can't go!"

Watching Ye Lin pass by, Ceng Canqi suddenly reacted.

"Your level is the highest so far; you are very likely to be this year's National Zhuangyuan, so you must stay until the Realm closes!"

"National Zhuangyuan, are there any rewards?" Ye Lin asked directly.

"Of course there are!" Ceng Canqi nodded. "In addition to the honor, the You Daxia official will also directly give the National Zhuangyuan generous rewards!"

"How generous?" Ye Lin's eyes instantly lit up.

"About... three or four stories thick."

Hearing Ceng Canqi's explanation, Ye Lin decided to stay without hesitation; originally, he had planned to return to Qingcheng immediately.

After all, he had completely offended Wu Shaoqi, and Wu Shaoqi was a local snake in Shencheng; it's better to avoid trouble if possible.

But since there were rewards, that was another matter.

Ye Lin waited with peace of mind; soon, five days passed in a flash.

The Zhuangyuans in the Zhuangyuan Realm walked out one after another, but at this moment, their faces were extremely ugly, just like they had eaten several pounds of that stuff.

In these five days, some of their entire five-person squad only killed 4 monsters in total, averaging less than one per person.

Some didn't even encounter a single monster, purely strolling in the Zhuangyuan Realm for five days.

The monsters in the entire Zhuangyuan Realm seemed to have disappeared strangely due to some irresistible force.

Just like Wu Shaoqi and Ning Yiyi and the others, a dozen people in their group only encountered two monsters in five days.

One was killed by them, and the other was a Multi-Treasure Golden Toad!

They used all their strength, chasing and intercepting all the way, before finally successfully capturing this Multi-Treasure Golden Toad alive.

However, an even stranger scene happened; that Multi-Treasure Golden Toad's stomach was actually empty, with nothing in it.

This completely didn't conform to the habits of the Multi-Treasure Golden Toad; the Multi-Treasure Golden Toad is obsessed with treasures and would definitely swallow treasures into its stomach when it sees them.

The only explanation was that someone had arrived before them and taken all the treasures in the Multi-Treasure Golden Toad's stomach.

Wu Shaoqi's face was long, and the whole person was like a volcano about to erupt, which was chilling.

He was level 22 when he entered the Zhuangyuan Realm, and he was also level 22 when he came out, which meant he hadn't gained anything in the Zhuangyuan Realm, just suffered a beating for nothing and spent more than half a month healing.

And the culprit of all this was clearly Ye Lin!

When Wu Shaoqi came out and saw the indifferent Ye Lin, he almost rushed up directly.

If it weren't for Ye Lin, he could have leveled up at least three or four levels in this month, and he even had a chance to compete for the position of National Zhuangyuan.

But Wu Shaoqi still suppressed the restlessness in his heart; he looked at Ye Lin coldly, then withdrew his gaze.

If he made a move in the Zhuangyuan Realm, he definitely wouldn't be Ye Lin's opponent; he wouldn't be stupid enough to fall in the same place twice, but this matter clearly couldn't just be let go.

Accompanying everyone leaving the Zhuangyuan Realm, everyone's level was also clearly counted.

And the person with the highest level was clearly Ye Lin, after all, the monsters in the Realm were all slaughtered by him.

"Congratulations, Ye Lin; you are the person with the highest level in this Zhuangyuan Realm trial." Ceng Canqi praised.

Seeing this result, even if he had expected it, Ceng Canqi's eyes still couldn't hide his shock.

After all, all along, the title of National Zhuangyuan had been monopolized by students from those top big cities.

Zhuangyuans born in big cities could reach level 20 or so before entering the Zhuangyuan Realm, which was simply not comparable to Zhuangyuans who walked out of small counties at level 10 or so.

But Ye Lin undoubtedly broke this rule, because Qingcheng was a well-deserved small city.

Once this news spread, it would definitely shock countless people's jaws.

"What? Level 25!"

Wu Shaoqi could no longer be calm, staring at Ye Lin with resentment.

He clearly remembered that Ye Lin was only level 18 before entering the Realm; leveling up seven levels in one breath, no wonder there were few monsters left in the Zhuangyuan Realm.

That is to say, Ye Lin not only blasted him into a meat patty, making him spend more than half a month just healing, but also slaughtered all the monsters while he was healing.

"Ye Lin, you damn guy! I will never let this matter go!" Wu Shaoqi gritted his teeth.

The expressions of Zhuangyuans from other cities toward Ye Lin also became unkind, with faint hostility.

They now also knew that the culprit who caused them to almost not see a single monster in the last five days was clearly Ye Lin.

"Grass! A Forbidden Spell Master who won't live long, and still wants to snatch monsters! Really disgusting!"

"That's right, disgusting to death; previous National Zhuangyuans, which one wasn't level 26 or even 27? It's all because of him, lowering the gold content of the National Zhuangyuan!"

"Damn it, why can a Forbidden Spell Master still take the college entrance examination? This kind of profession doesn't have anyone who lives past 25; what is the point of cultivating a Forbidden Spell Master? It just affects us, the pillars of You Daxia's future!"

Everyone discussed, clearly extremely dissatisfied with Ye Lin.

Ye Lin didn't care, but Mi Xue couldn't listen anymore, took the initiative to put her hands on her hips and argued with those people, but how could she, alone, argue with so many people?

Just as they were arguing, the sky of the Zhuangyuan Realm suddenly became gloomy, as if all the light had been swallowed!

Everyone's heart tightened, and inexplicable fear spread; just at this moment, a deafening roar came from the center of the Realm, as if something was waking up underground.

Immediately after, the entire Realm began to shake violently, shaking people until they were dizzy.

"Everyone, don't panic, squat down on the spot!"

Ceng Canqi's face changed wildly, because he discovered that the exit of the Zhuangyuan Realm didn't know when it had closed, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't open it!

The Zhuangyuan Realm had been around for so long, and there had never been any problems; what was going on now?

The sky of the Realm became increasingly gloomy, and the thick darkness pressed on everyone's soul like a substance.

Suddenly, a scarlet light rushed into the sky from the depths of the Realm, breaking through the shackles of darkness and reflecting on everyone's faces.

In that light, one could vaguely see monsters with huge figures; they had different figures, some had horns, some had wings, and some were covered with scales all over, emitting a strong evil aura.

Ceng Canqi's pupils shrank violently, and he could no longer maintain his composure, even his voice carried a slight tremor.

"This is... the Demon Clan!"
