Chapter 213: Just Kill Them Strongly

Kyoto University, Team Fuben Center.

Just past noon, though it was lunch break, the place was already buzzing with people.

The reason was nothing else.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the Long Xu Ban group.

Everyone's gaze was directed at that Team Fuben rift.

That was the last record belonging to the Dragon Nation that the Ying Nation had snatched away.

And today,

the Great Demon King Lin Mo was going to forcefully take it back!

Just then.

A commotion arose from the outer edge of the crowd.

"Look! Junior Lin Mo is here!"

"The Great Demon King is here! The entire Long Xu Ban has assembled!"

Whoosh—

The crowd spontaneously parted to both sides, opening up a wide passage.

Lin Mo walked in with a composed expression.

At a glance, he saw Principal Guhe, Xu Wenchang, and Han Xue standing before the Team Fuben rift, along with a host of Long Xu Ban students.

Lin Mo quickened his pace and walked over.

"Principal, Teacher Xu, Teacher Han, good morning."

Lin Mo greeted them with a smile.

Principal Guhe turned his head, preparing to offer Lin Mo a few words of encouragement.

"Lin Mo..."

"Wait, you leveled up again? Level 32?"

Principal Guhe's eyes widened involuntarily.

Upon hearing this,

Xu Wenchang and Han Xue also looked over, expressions of admiration appearing on their faces simultaneously.

This kid is too competitive.

You have to know, after level 30, the experience points required for leveling up skyrocket geometrically.

Students in the regular classes, lacking the resources of the Long Xu Ban, take a whole year to reach level 40.

Even the students of the Long Xu Ban, look at Han Mengyao and others, the highest level is still under 30...

Lin Mo, however, is still maintaining a pace of two levels a day.

Principal Guhe took a deep breath.

He looked at Lin Mo and spoke earnestly:

"Lin Mo..."

"I know you're holding back a drive in your heart, wanting to level up sooner, wanting to raise your spiritual power sooner, so you can truly master the Super-Class Skill."

"But..."

Principal Guhe patted Lin Mo's shoulder, his eyes full of concern:

"The body is the capital of revolution!"

"Two levels a day... you've spent all your rest time grinding mobs, haven't you?"

"Pulling all-nighters like this, even an iron body can't hold up!"

Xu Wenchang, standing nearby, also sighed and advised:

"Yes, Lin Mo, take my advice."

"Your current strength is already shocking to the world; don't push yourself too hard."

"The Super-Class Skill is right there; it's not going to run away. Rest more; balancing work and rest is the right path!"

Hearing this heartfelt concern from Principal Guhe and Xu Wenchang,

Lin Mo scratched his head.

"Ahem... I understand, Principal, Teacher Xu. It's just that I'm too eager to improve. Don't worry, I have a handle on it..."

For Lin Mo, he had a very firm handle on it indeed.

Rest?

I'm afraid that in the entire Kyoto University, no one rests better than him.

Every night at ten o'clock sharp, he gets into bed and sleeps until he wakes naturally.

If this still counts as not paying attention to rest, then there are probably no healthy people left in the world.

At this moment.

In the skill bar.

【'Fireball' sneered disdainfully: "Rest? Rest my hammer! This Seat wants to grind mobs! This Seat wants to struggle!"】

【'Fireball's gaze drifted gloomily toward the other side of the skill bar.】

【The third brother 'Lightning Strike' was riding on its head was one thing, but even the newcomer 'Ice Spike' was riding on its head too.】

【Who knows if there will be a fifth and sixth later; 'Fireball' clearly realized that its current position as "number one" was teetering and extremely unstable.】

【No!】

【'Fireball' secretly vowed that the rest time every day was still too long! No sleep tonight, all-nighter!】

Feeling Hearing Xiao Huo's nearly manic will to compete in the mind.

Lin Mo couldn't help but shiver.

Hiss…

That grinding maniac is truly terrifying!

This freaking thing leaves no way out for anyone at all!

In his past life, as a wage-slave, what he feared most was running into this kind of workaholic in the company — someone who'd throw their life away for the sake of performance metrics.

As long as one such extreme grinding maniac appeared in the team,

everyone's rest time would be ruthlessly compressed, and everyone would be forced to go crazy together.

Even a boss would be moved to tears watching this, and the exploitation machines on the assembly line would have to tip their hats and call it professional.

Luckily, he was the boss.

Just then.

Wang Dawei also spoke up in a ghostly voice:

"Exactly, exactly…"

"Class Monitor, sir, please just listen to the principal and get more rest! Take care of your precious dragon body! Leave us mortals a sip of soup to drink!"

Hearing Wang Dawei's little grumble,

Han Mengqing, who was beside them, immediately glared at him, hands on her hips, blocking herself in front of Lin Mo.

"Dawei, stop whining here!"

"Can the class monitor's level-up be the same as ours?"

"Every time the class monitor levels up, our Dragon Nation's top combat power rises another notch!"

"The class monitor leveling up is far more useful than you! If monsters get swept by the class monitor, that's those monsters' honor!"

After Han Mengqing's outburst,

Wang Dawei shrank his neck.

He thought it over carefully, and it did seem to make sense.

"Uh… fair point."

Wang Dawei scratched the back of his head and grinned sheepishly:

"Then class monitor still comes first! Worst case, we'll just find a farther spot to grind levels from now on."

Watching this bunch of live treasures,

Lin Mo smiled helplessly.

Then.

He patted Wang Dawei on the shoulder, his voice carrying an air of authority that commanded respect without anger:

"Dawei."

"The world of professionals is, by its very nature, one of contending with heaven, contending with earth, contending with all things."

"If you want resources, if you want to grow stronger, then you have to rely on your own fists to fight, to seize."

Lin Mo's gaze was deep as his eyes swept over everyone in Long Xu Ban.

"If today, just because you all complained once, I gave the monsters to you, left the resources to you,"

"then you would forever be nothing more than flowers in a greenhouse."

"Our Long Xu Ban's enemies are not these dumb little monsters, but the Sakura Nation and Beautiful Nation eyeing us hungrily outside, and the true Abyss demons of the other world!"

A domineering arc curved at the corner of Lin Mo's mouth:

"So, you want soup? You want meat?"

"Then bring out your abilities, chase after me with your lives on the line, and take it from my hands!"

"That is the rule Long Xu Ban should have!"

These words,

struck the ground with a resounding weight.

Wang Dawei's expression sharpened, and he immediately wiped the playful grin off his face.

Ye Kong, Chu Lingxuan, Han Mengyao, and the others also felt a surge of hot blood rush straight to the crown of their heads.

"Yes! Class Monitor!"

"We understand!"

Everyone responded in unison, the fighting spirit in their eyes reignited once more.

Watching Lin Mo deliver this off-the-cuff PUA… no, textbook-level technique for managing subordinates and his overlord's heart.

Principal Guhe burst out laughing, his eyes full of admiration.

"Good! Well said!"

"Worthy of being the future cornerstone of our Dragon Nation!"

After the laughter,

Principal Guhe's expression turned solemn:

"Alright, the team fuben record that the Sakura Nation snatched from under our noses — now, only this last one remains."

"Go, take it back! Strive to break back into the two-minute mark! Let the Sakura Nation despair once more!"

Lin Mo nodded.

Then, he turned his head and glanced at Han Mengyao.

"Tell me about this last team fuben."

Han Mengyao heard this, nodded, and replied:

"Class Monitor, this last team fuben is called 【Shadow Withered Bone Forest】. The terrain is an ancient swamp and a forest of white bones shrouded in the aura of death."

"The only truly disgusting part of this dungeon is the terrifying number of monsters, along with their absurdly high HP and the 'Undead Revival' passive."

"With that passive, they keep absorbing death energy from the swamp and resurrect indefinitely."

Han Mengyao paused, then continued:

"Normally, you'd have to split up the team to find and activate special mechanisms, triggering a Sacred Purification Aura to strip the monsters of their 'Undead Revival' passive."

"But…"

"If you can instantly one-shot them all, the passive never gets a chance to trigger — that's the other solution."

"Unfortunately, given just how many monsters there are, no one at this level can pull off an instant AoE kill."

At this point,

Han Mengyao smiled faintly, looking toward Lin Mo:

"Of course… except for you, Squad Leader."

Hearing this, the corner of Lin Mo's mouth curved into a slight smile.

"Understood. Just brute-force kill them."

Han Mengyao nodded firmly.

"Yes — brute-force kill!"

The next moment,

Lin Mo turned around to face the dungeon rift.

"All members of Long Xu Ban, advance!"

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone followed Lin Mo, stepping into the dungeon rift without the slightest hesitation.
