Chapter 249: The Duel Between Two Dragon Order Class Monitors?

When Yan Lie spoke those words.

Everyone around stopped walking and turned their gazes toward him.

A deathly silence fell.

"…"

Lin Mo stood where he was.

He looked at Yan Lie, whose battle spirit blazed fiercely before him.

Then he glanced at the senior figures beside him—Guhe, Nie Lao, Feng Lao, and others.

His brow furrowed slightly, a hint of exasperation flashing in his eyes.

What the hell?

Are you crazy?

I just got out of a dungeon, hadn't even had time to drink a sip of water.

And now you come straight at me for a one-on-one?

Did I dig up your ancestral grave?

Or steal your girlfriend?

This sudden challenge left Lin Mo baffled—and even the senior figures nearby showed signs of unease.

"Yan Lie!"

Guhe was the first to react.

His face darkened, his brows knitted tightly.

"What are you doing?"

"Lin Mo just led his team through a Hell-level dungeon raid. His physical and mental energy are utterly drained."

"You're a graduated senior, coming to challenge a freshman who's been here only a few days?"

"You've already graduated—still this childish?"

Guhe's tone carried a sharp reprimand.

Though he greatly admired Yan Lie, his former student.

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

Not to mention his title as National Guardian Dragon Envoy—just his terrifying talent alone meant Guhe would never allow anyone within Dragon Nation to disrespect Lin Mo.

Nie Zhanguo beside him also narrowed his eyes slightly.

He said nothing.

Feng Cangqiong paused, then shook his head:

"Yan Lie."

"How come your obsession with fighting hasn't changed even after becoming president?"

"After graduation, you challenged the entire grade; after joining the Mage Association, you challenged every member of the Youth Association..."

"And now..."

"I just invited Lin Mo to join the association, and you're already ready to fight him?"

Facing the consecutive scoldings from the senior figures,

Yan Lie did not retreat.

He straightened his back, his fervor intensifying.

"Principal Gu, Feng Lao."

Yan Lie took a deep breath, his voice firm with stubbornness.

"Lin Mo, my junior, led his team to break the Adams family's dungeon record. I deeply respect him, and I know it's abrupt to challenge him now."

"But..."

Yan Lie narrowed his eyes, fixing them on Lin Mo.

"I can't suppress the battle spirit inside me..."

"Lin Mo, junior—what do you say? Or shall we set another time?"

Finished speaking.

Yan Lie stared stubbornly at Lin Mo.

With that unyielding, no-turning-back expression.

Xu Wenchang sighed helplessly beside him.

As class advisor of the Dragon Order Class,

he knew Yan Lie too well.

This kid had this damn stubborn streak.

Once he set his sights on an opponent, once he decided a fight was necessary,

it was over.

He had to fight.

Ten oxen couldn't pull him back.

Refuse?

He'd camp outside your dorm every day and confront you face-to-face the moment you stepped out...

Meanwhile,

the surrounding students finally snapped out of their shock.

The entire dungeon center erupted!

"Holy shit holy shit holy shit!"

"Big news! Former Dragon Order Class monitor challenges current Dragon Order Class monitor?!"

"This is insane!"

A wave of murmurs exploded through the crowd.

"That's Yan Lie, our former battle god at Jingda!"

"He's the guy who took on the entire grade!"

"But so what? Isn't this bullying? The Demon King just broke the record—he must be exhausted, and now you come yelling at him?"

"Besides, he graduated a year ago!"

"He's already level 65!"

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

"Exactly! That's so shameless!"

Students chimed in one after another.

Most believed this was outright bullying.

But some were just here for the spectacle.

"Bullying?"

"What are you talking about?"

"That's the Demon King!"

"Have you ever seen a level 37 freshman who could crush a level 40 Hell-level dungeon boss?"

"57-second clear! Let Yan Lie try it—see if he can break the invincibility mechanic in under a minute!"

"Exactly!"

Another girl couldn't help retorting:

"Before the Demon King, levels mean nothing!"

"Even if Yan Lie were level 75 today, the Demon King would still beat him into the ground!"

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

The students' murmurs grew louder.

Their emotions grew more heated.

The entire hall's atmosphere reached its peak.

The clash of two generations of legends—even just hearing about it made one's blood boil.

At this moment,

Yan Lie, hearing the students' chatter, frowned slightly.

Bullying?

Shameless?

He was crazy, but he had his own pride.

A battle won by level suppression was not the kind of fight he wanted.

Yan Lie took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Lin Mo, his battle spirit now pure and unclouded.

"Lin Mo."

"You're right—the level gap between us is enormous."

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

As he spoke, Yan Lie flipped his wrist.

A flash of light.

"These are one-time use scroll items for negative status effects."

"I'll use some of them to ensure my stats are suppressed to exactly match yours."

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

Yan Lie's gaze burned intensely.

"I want to have a fair duel with you—how about it, current captain of the Dragon Order class?"

At these words,

the surrounding students all drew a sharp breath.

He's voluntarily suppressing his stats?

This Senior Yan Lie is truly a pure battle maniac!

Nearby, Feng Cangqiong heard Yan Lie's words.

The words he had intended to stop him with were swallowed back.

He stroked his beard, a faint smile of interest curling at his lips.

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

"A pure duel under absolutely identical stats…"

"This actually sounds interesting."

Nie Zhenguó also slightly raised his eyebrows.

He said nothing further, clearly giving his tacit approval.

Gu He looked at the two senior figures, then at Lin Mo.

He could only sigh helplessly.

And at this moment,

Lin Mo, the center of everyone's attention,

sighed.

"Sigh…"

Trouble.

Real trouble.

I just wanted to grind some records, level up, grab some resources, become invincible early, and then lie down for good.

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

Fight him?

Winning wouldn't feel like any achievement.

Not fight him?

Judging by the look in his eyes, tomorrow morning I'll wake up to find his big face pressed against my bedroom window.

In the skill bar,

all the skills had completely exploded.

【【Fireball Spell】in rage: "How dare you!!!"】

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

【"Dares to challenge the Master?"】

【"Do you think I have no dignity? Master, accept this fight—I'll burn him to ashes!"】

【【Ice Spike Spell】let out a light giggle.】

【"Hehehehehe…"】

【"What a fool who doesn't know his own death."】

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

【"Let him learn the fate of challenging the Master~"】

Even the usually aloof 【Lightning Strike Spell】now shimmered with lightning.

【【Lightning Strike Spell】snorted: "Hmph. A waste dares to come seeking death?"】

【【Earth Shield Spell】panted in agitation: "Master, rest assured—accept the fight! Your safety is my duty, Brother Two!"】
