Chapter 249: The Duel Between Two Long Xu Ban Class Leaders?

As soon as Yan Lie spoke those words.

Everyone around stopped in their tracks, their gazes converging.

A silence as dead as a grave.

"..."

Lin Mo stood where he was.

He looked at Yan Lie before him, whose battle intent burned fiercely.

Then he turned his head to glance at the big shots beside him: Principal Guhe, Elder Nie, and Elder Feng.

His brows furrowed slightly, a hint of speechlessness flashing in his eyes.

What the hell?

Is there something wrong with you?

I just came out of a Team Fuben, didn't even have time to take a sip of water.

And you come straight up to challenge me to a one-on-one?

Did I dig up your ancestral grave?

Or did I steal your girlfriend?

This sudden challenge not only left Lin Mo baffled, but even the few big shots beside him had their expressions shift slightly.

"Yan Lie!"

Principal Guhe was the first to react.

His face darkened, his brows knitted tightly.

"What nonsense are you making!"

"Lin Mo just led his team to clear a Hell-level Team Fuben; his stamina and spirit are both massively depleted."

"You, a graduated senior, come running to spar with a freshman who's only been enrolled for a few days?"

"You've already graduated, yet you're still so immature?"

A tone of stern reprimand crept into Principal Guhe's voice.

Although he greatly admired Yan Lie, his former student.

But Lin Mo's current status was no small matter.

Setting aside the title of National Dragon Envoy, simply his terrifying talent meant Principal Guhe would absolutely not allow anyone within the Dragon Kingdom to show disrespect to Lin Mo.

Nie Zhen Guo beside him also narrowed his eyes slightly.

He said nothing.

Feng Cangqiong paused for a moment, then shook his head:

"Yan Lie."

"How come your warlike flaw hasn't been cured even after becoming guild master?"

"You challenged the entire grade after graduating, then challenged all members of the Mage Association after joining it..."

"And now..."

"Just now, old man me invited Lin Mo to join the Association, and the very next step you want to fight him?"

Facing the consecutive reprimands from the big shots.

Yan Lie did not retreat.

He straightened his back, the fanaticism on his face growing even more intense.

"Principal Gu, Elder Feng."

Yan Lie took a deep breath, his tone carrying a stubbornness.

"Junior Lin Mo led the team to break the Adams family's Team Fuben record; I admire him greatly, and I know proposing a spar at this moment is somewhat abrupt."

"But..."

Yan Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at Lin Mo.

"The battle intent in my heart, I cannot suppress it..."

"Junior Lin Mo, what do you say? Or shall we set a new time?"

Having spoken.

Yan Lie looked stubbornly at Lin Mo.

Looking at his posture of not turning back until he hits the southern wall.

Xu Wenchang beside him sighed helplessly.

As the Long Xu Ban homeroom teacher.

He knew Yan Lie too well.

This kid just has that rotten temper.

Once he has set his sights on an opponent, once he has decided on a fight.

Then it's over.

He must fight.

Ten oxen couldn't pull him back.

If he doesn't fight?

Then he dares to squat at your dorm door every day, and the moment you appear, he'll get right in your face and provoke you...

And at this moment.

The students surrounding them finally snapped out of their shock.

The entire Team Fuben center instantly exploded into chaos!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Big news! The former Dragon Order Class monitor challenges the current Dragon Order Class monitor?!"

"This is too intense!"

A wave of murmurs erupted from the crowd.

"That's Senior Yan Lie! He was our Jing University's former battle god!"

"He once took on the entire grade by himself!"

"Wait, so what if he's tough? Isn't this just bullying? Big Demon King just broke the record—he must be exhausted, and now he comes here to boast?"

"Besides, he graduated a year ago!"

"He's already level 65!"

"A level 65 expert challenges Lin Mo, the Big Demon King, who's only level 37 and hasn't even been in school for a week?"

"Exactly! This is so shameless!"

The students all chimed in agreement.

Most believed this was outright unfair bullying.

But some were eager to see the spectacle.

"Bullying?"

"What are you talking about?"

"That's the Big Demon King!"

"Have you ever seen a level 37 freshman pin a level 40 Hell-level dungeon boss to the ground?"

"He cleared it in 57 seconds! Try letting Yan Lie do it—can he even break the invincibility mechanic in one minute?"

"Exactly!"

Another girl couldn't help but retort:

"Before the Big Demon King, levels mean nothing!"

"Even if Yan Lie were level 75 today, the Big Demon King would still beat the shit out of him!"

"The Big Demon King is invincible! Big Demon King, accept the challenge and smash this senior!"

The students' murmurs grew louder.

Emotions grew more heated.

The entire hall's atmosphere was pushed straight to a climax.

The clash of two generations of legends—just hearing about it made blood boil.

At this moment.

Yan Lie, hearing the students' chatter, slightly furrowed his brow.

Bullying?

Shameless?

He was arrogant, but he had his own pride.

A battle won by level suppression wasn't the kind of fight he wanted.

Yan Lie took a deep breath, his gaze toward Lin Mo now purer with battle intent.

"Lin Mo."

"The students are right—I'm far higher in level than you."

"If I fight like this, it truly would be me bullying you, and winning wouldn't be honorable."

Saying this, Yan Lie flipped his wrist.

A flash of light.

"These are one-time negative status scrolls."

"I'll activate some to suppress my own stats down to match yours exactly."

"I swear, I won't gain a single bit of advantage in stats!"

Yan Lie's eyes burned brightly.

"I want a fair duel with you—how about it, current Dragon Order Class monitor?"

At these words,

The students around them all gasped sharply.

He was voluntarily suppressing his stats?

Senior Yan Lie was truly a pure battle maniac!

Nearby, Feng Cangqiong, hearing Yan Lie's words,

swallowed the words he'd been about to say.

He stroked his beard, a curious smile tugging at his lips.

"The two strongest prodigies of consecutive Dragon Order Classes."

"A pure duel under absolutely identical stats..."

"Now that's interesting."

Nie Zhenguó also raised an eyebrow slightly.

He said nothing further—clearly, he had given silent approval.

Principal Guhe, seeing this, glanced between the two elders and then at Lin Mo.

He could only sigh helplessly.

And at this moment.

Lin Mo, the center of attention in the entire hall.

He sighed.

"Sigh..."

Trouble.

Real trouble.

I just wanted to break a record, level up, grab some resources, become invincible under heaven, and then lie down for good.

Why do these overzealous idiots always pop up to stir up drama?

Fight him?

Winning wouldn't bring any sense of accomplishment.

Don't fight him?

Judging by the look in that guy's eyes, he'll probably wake up tomorrow morning with his face pressed against my bedroom window.

In the skill bar.

All the skills had completely exploded.

【【Fireball Spell】 enraged: "How dare you!!!"】

【"A mere ant dares shout at the Master?"】

【"Dares to challenge the Master?"】

【"Doesn't this body have any dignity? Master, accept this fight—I'll burn him to ashes!"】

【【Ice Spike Spell】 let out a tinkling laugh.】

【"Hehehehehe..."】

【"What an utterly foolish thing."】

【"Master, let this young lady take over—I'll show him what true despair feels like~"】

【"Let him know the fate of defying the Master~"】

Even the ever-cold【Thunder Strike Spell】now shimmered with lightning.

【【Thunder Strike Spell】 sneered: "Hmph. A worthless fool dares come here to die?"】

【【Earth Shield Spell】 was pacing frantically: "Master, rest assured—accept the fight! Your safety is guarded by your second brother!"】
