Chapter 235: Only the Master

Beijing University, outside the Fuben center.

At this moment, the Fuben center was more frenzied than the hottest peak of summer.

"He's in! He's in! The Demon King's in!"

"They really chose the Adams family's record-holding team Fuben! Do you think… how many minutes will the Demon King lead them to clear it this time?"

"Need you ask? Under one minute! Absolutely under one minute!"

"Exactly!"

"Prepare to tremble, America's Adams family!"

The voices of the surrounding students were wildly enthusiastic.

If this had been before yesterday.

Whenever Lin Mo was discussed, some know-it-alls would always jump out to analyze this and that, raising objections just to feel important.

But now, those voices had vanished completely.

Since Lin Mo stepped onto Beijing University's campus, he had shattered countless astonishing records.

He single-handedly took on the entire sophomore class.

He had shattered the team Fuben record three times in a row, pushing it to a level no one dared imagine.

Lin Mo had crushed every doubt with his actions.

Now, everyone at Beijing University was Lin Mo's most fervent believer!

…

Not far away.

Gu He, Xu Wenchang, and Han Xue stood side by side.

Their gazes fixed on the rift that had swallowed Lin Mo and the others.

"Principal…"

Xu Wenchang squinted, his tone filled with reflection:

"I feel… after today, the world's balance… will truly change."

Upon hearing this, Gu He took a deep breath.

"Yes."

"The world's two-superpower structure is ending."

"The day China truly takes the throne can't be far off."

Hearing their conversation,

Han Xue remained silent.

Only in her cold eyes did a flicker of excitement appear.

Xu Wenchang frowned slightly and sighed.

"But…"

"Pity… this time Lin Mo's team chose the 【Twilight Throne】."

"This Fuben has two parallel paths."

Xu Wenchang shook his head.

"Left: Annihilation. Right: Descent."

"Both paths must be advanced simultaneously—and once chosen, the retreat is completely sealed; no mutual support is possible."

Xu Wenchang turned to Gu He and Han Xue.

"Though our Dragon Order Class is strong, the only one among us with dimensional-overwhelming power is Lin Mo."

"Do you think… this time…"

"Can Lin Mo lead them to break the record under two minutes?"

Xu Wenchang's concern was not unfounded.

No matter how strong Lin Mo was, he could only push one path.

The other path—the nineteen students—no matter how hard they tried, could never match Lin Mo's pace.

Hearing Xu Wenchang's question,

Han Xue didn't hesitate a moment, coldly uttering four words:

"I believe in him."

Xu Wenchang froze.

"Teacher Han, this Fuben has a dual-path mechanism!"

"Even if Lin Mo is strong, he can only pick one path—the key is how fast the other path is cleared!"

Facing Xu Wenchang's explanation,

Han Xue's expression remained icy and calm.

"Teacher Xu, I said—I believe in him."

"…"

Xu Wenchang was left speechless.

At that moment,

Gu He also smiled and said:

"Heh…"

"I believe in Lin Mo too."

"…"

Xu Wenchang blinked in surprise.

Then he realized, pointing at the two:

"Alright…"

"So you both believe in Lin Mo? Only I'm over here worrying for nothing?"

"Like I don't believe in him."

"So now I'm the villain?"

Xu Wenchang rolled his eyes, lifting his chin defiantly.

"Fine—I believe in Lin Mo too!"

…

Meanwhile,

Inside the 【Twilight Throne】 Fuben.

After a faint sensation of spatial weightlessness,

Lin Mo and the others landed on the ground.

It was a vast platform of green stone.

The sky was dyed a twilight hue.

Oppressive.

Silent.

On either side of the platform stood two massive teleportation arrays, glowing with eerie light.

Above the left array floated crimson characters: 【Annihilation】.

Above the right array floated dark purple characters: 【Descent】.

Immediately after,

A series of prompts popped up on everyone's panels.

【Welcome to Team Fuben: Twilight Throne (Hell Level)】

【 Fuben Level Restriction: Lv. 0–Lv. 0】

【Current Team Members: 20/20】

【Prompt: All members must stand on the left and right teleportation arrays respectively.】

【Note: At least one member must remain on each array to activate the Fuben progression.】

【Once all members are in position, a ten-second countdown will begin, officially starting the timer for completion.】

Looking at the prompts,

Ye Kong took a deep breath, drawing his Tang blade.

"Class leader."

"We're ready."

"Follow the plan—Class Leader takes the left, we take the right!"

"Yes!"

The Dragon Order Class responded in unison.

"Wait."

Lin Mo raised his hand, halting their movements.

"I already said outside—I'm letting my Qiyue beast accompany you."

As he spoke,

Lin Mo shifted his will.

Swish—

A pure white light flared beside Lin Mo.

Then,

"Mmm~"

A soft, plaintive cry sounded.

The white light faded, revealing a snow-white fox the size of a lion before everyone's eyes.

Its fur was thick and soft.

Those clear fox eyes blinked twice, gazing at the crowd with complete innocence.

The instant they saw the giant fox,

Han Meng's eyes went wide.

"Wah!!!"

"So cute!!!"

Chu Lingxuan's eyes sparkled with stars.

"Aaaah! This is too adorable!"

The two girls instantly transformed into rabid fox fans, lunging left and right to pounce on Da Bai.

"Wow, this fluffy texture? Perfect!"

Han Meng buried her face deep into the white fur at Da Bai's neck and rubbed vigorously.

"Class president, where did you find this contract beast? It's literally my dream animal!"

Chu Lingxuan hugged Da Bai tightly, unwilling to let go.

Just as the two girls were absorbed in petting,

In the skill bar,

【"Ice Spike suddenly erupts!"】

【"How dare you!!!"】

【"You two human women! How dare you touch my body with your filthy hands!"】

【"Da Bai's body belongs to me today! Only the master may touch it!"】

【"Get away from me!"】

In an instant,

Da Bai's aura underwent a radical transformation.

Its once pure white fur instantly turned icy blue from the roots outward.

Its clear eyes shifted in an instant to deep blue, brimming with endless killing intent.

A visible wave of extreme cold radiated from Da Bai's body.

Even the green stone tiles beneath its paws froze over with frost.

The surrounding temperature plummeted sharply.

"Gah! So cold!"

Han Meng and Chu Lingxuan shuddered violently from the sudden chill.

They recoiled as if shocked, letting go instantly.

They stepped back several paces, trembling from the cold.

"W-what just happened?"

Han Meng froze in shock.

Chu Lingxuan froze too.

Not just them.

All the students of Long Xu Class stared, dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, it was a cute little whimperer.

How could it turn in an instant into a terrifying ice beast radiating supreme killing intent?

This cold.

They could even feel their souls trembling.

In the skill bar,

【"Ice Spike still rages."】

【"Hmph! Good thing you're smart!"】

【"This perfect body is fit only for the master's rough hands to caress!"】

"..."

Listening to Xiao Bing's words,

Lin Mo's forehead darkened with black lines.

What the hell do you mean by "rough hands"?

Lin Mo looked up at the stunned expressions around him.

"What's with that look?"

"Isn't it cool and awesome?"

Saying this,

Lin Mo reached out and casually ruffled Da Bai's head with both hands.

The once fearsome, ice-cold Da Bai,

the moment his palm made contact,

immediately closed its eyes and emitted a deeply contented "rumble."

It even pushed its head insistently into Lin Mo's palm.

Utterly obedient.
