Chapter 85: Fish Die, Net Broken

Damn it!

Deng Lian's heart was filled with shock; although he clearly knew Lin An might be a mental-system awakened one, he still harbored a slim hope, just like the previous three.

He had originally hoped to slip through, after all, as long as Zhang Tie didn't wake up, Lin An might not notice that he had made a move!

But now that he has noticed me, I must fight desperately no matter what!

Even an ant clings to life, let alone him!

"Mind Power Slash!"

Making a quick decision, Deng Lian exerted all his mental power, frantically activating his innate talent skill.

Instantly, an arc-shaped transparent Mind Power Slash, far stronger than before, shot toward Lin An's sea of consciousness.

However.

Like a mud cow entering the sea.

The astonishingly powerful Mind Power Slash couldn't even hinder Lin An's steps in the slightest.

He looked with interest at Deng Lian before him, dressed in white, appearing refined and elegant, not bad at all.

Mental-power awakened ones are quite rare; this is the first one he has encountered.

As mental-power awakened ones, such players usually have agile thinking and unusual attack methods.

In the mid-game, most players don't even have ordinary weapons and equipment, let alone gear specialized for defending against mental damage.

Mental attacks ignore defense, cannot be dodged, and can only be endured head-on.

Therefore, every mental-power awakened one counts as a trump card for the major safe zones.

Deng Lian struggled to move his throat, his hands trembling.

How... could it have no effect!

He had clearly unleashed his strongest strike; compared to the Mind Power Slash aimed at Zhang Tie, this skill's consumption almost drained his mental power.

"Why..."

"You... are you human or a monster!"

Lin An smiled faintly; he had the mental defense of the Resentful Skull, and his mental power completely overwhelmed Deng Lian's.

Not to mention this little willpower Mind Power Slash; even if doubled and redoubled, it couldn't hope to cause him any harm.

If nothing unexpected, Deng Lian's willpower attribute should be around 17 points (double first level +3, base 10 + talent 4).

Compared to ordinary players, this attribute is already frighteningly high.

But for one possessing the Resentful Skull and multiple layers of bf, Lin An's current mental resistance basically grants immunity to willpower below 20 points.

In other words, even if Deng Lian were exhausted to death, he couldn't hope to inflict the slightest harm on him!

"Break your own legs, and I can spare your life."

"Be my dog."

Lin An walked slowly up to Deng Lian, his expression calm.

Killing a mental-power awakened one like this would really be a shame.

But a "dog" that has bitten a person must be punished.

If Deng Lian were smart enough, he should right now immediately break his own legs and give up resistance.

That way, Lin An wouldn't mind later, after obtaining the Slave Scroll, taking him as a subordinate.

After all, mental-system awakened ones don't need physical combat; having or lacking hands and feet makes no difference.

If it weren't for Deng Lian's poor physique, Lin An wouldn't mind keeping only his brain, using it as a "prop".

Just like the Phosphorus Beast, a head alone can survive.

Unwilling, despair.

Deng Lian's eyes were blood-red; even before becoming an awakened one, he came from a prominent family, his status noble.

After becoming an awakened one, he even considered himself the Child of Heaven; even the strongest student, Li Hua, would have to show him three parts of respect!

To humiliate himself like this...

Too much bullying!

Just in a moment of instinct, he instinctively forgot that it was he who first made a move on Zhang Tie.

Many among the students knew Deng Lian was a mental-power awakened player; upon realizing he had actually launched an attack on Lin An, their original fear intensified even further.

Even Brother Deng in front of him has no power to resist?

Regretful emotions flooded his heart.

What kind of monster has the academy provoked!

If they had known earlier that Lin An's strength was this monstrous, they would never have dared to lay a hand on Zhang Tie no matter what.

"3"

As always, Lin An slowly opened his mouth with a calm gaze.

"Don't force me!"

Deng Lian panted heavily, his body trembling, his right hand clenched tightly.

"2"

The countdown sounded; thinking that in the next second his legs would be broken, Deng Lian could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart, his expression turning mad.

"It's you who forced me to do this!"

He quickly crushed the gem in his hand, then intended to smash it on the ground.

Several nearby students, upon seeing the emerald gem, turned pale with shock; even the Vice Principal on the podium, who had been originally discussing how to curry favor with Lin An, instantly changed complexion.

"Don't!"

"Deng Lian, stop quickly!"

Let's all die together!

Deng Lian ignored everyone's frightened shouts to stop, and he violently threw the gem in his hand onto the ground.

Lin An's expected obstruction did not occur.

Crack!

The dark green gem shattered suddenly, and the light points inside, resembling a small array formation, also went out with a sound.

Hahaha!

After seeing the array formation inside the gem go out.

Deng Lian threw his head back and laughed maniacally, pointing a single hand at Lin An and shouting angrily.

Idiot! Do you still want me to be your dog?!

Do you really think you're invincible now?

I'll let you experience what true fear is!

Die! Let's all die together!

Despair filled the Meeting Room, and the Vice Principal, seeing the Array Formation extinguished, went limp and collapsed onto his chair.

Some timid girls, as if they had seen something horrifying, immediately began to sob in fear.

It's over... we're really done for...

The crowd was dazed and disoriented; several Awakened Ones with ashen faces hurriedly knelt on the ground trying to piece together the gem, to no avail.

Lin An looked doubtfully at the people before him.

It was just a shattered gem, yet the Awakened Ones before him seemed to have lost all hope of living.

I'm curious, what are you afraid of?

Among the Awakened Ones who stepped forward first, a male student in a white shirt gave a bitter laugh and pointed at the shattered gem on the ground.

Back Mountain!
