Chapter 232

238. Chapter 238: Absurd Fate, Humble Grass

With a boom.

Like a Tathagata Palm descending from the sky.

Lin Ke's punch, hammering on the shield that had less than half its defensive strength left, was only blocked for a moment.

After the earth-shattering noise, the shield of the 3rd ring defensive wizard artifact shattered like an egg hitting a stone.

After that, there was no more obstruction, and it drove straight in all the way.

Lin Ke's fist made intimate contact with the forehead of the captain of the Flame and Metal Trading Company.

Being able to become a captain, this person was also a leader among his peers.

Whether it was talent, temperament, diligence, or resources, he was not bad in any aspect.

In the past five years at the Riverside Academy, only Lanny Taylor and Tiffany Colonna could win by half a move.

Although the captain's innate wizardry was not of the battle armor type and leaned towards auxiliary properties, it also had a certain effect of unloading force.

He was wearing a top-level 1st ring suit no weaker than the "Defender 3202" of the Riverside Academy.

He also carried in his arms a 2nd ring defensive wizard artifact similar to the one Lin Ke got from Sage Paro that could be passively triggered.

In the blink of an eye, he also reacted in time and cast two 1st ring wizardries.

A very thin but tough metal coating instantly covered his body surface, making him look like the mutant Colossus.

Outside the coating was raging fire, like the Vengeful Flame Soul.

One attack and one defense, wanting both to defend and to counterattack.

At the very least, he could cause some damage to save face!

With a bang.

The top 1st ring suit, the 2nd ring defensive wizard artifact, the tough metal coating, and the innate wizardry, all stacked together, couldn't resist for 0.5 seconds and completely disintegrated under the iron fist.

The next moment, the captain's head burst open directly.

Red blood and white brains mixed with bone dregs and flesh chunks splattered wildly.

The raging fire couldn't do anything to Lin Ke, who was covered in battle armor, so it just happened to burn these fragments.

The fist hammered down further, which was the captain's torso.

Although it didn't end up with the same fate as the head, it was also torn apart.

The captain, who originally had a bright future, died just like that!

Died extremely easily, without any power to fight back.

Died not like a Level 1 Official Wizard, but like a stray dog on the side of the road, without any dignity.

Died without any value!

Lin Ke's fist passed through the captain's head and torso and slammed into the ground.

A powerful circular shockwave spread in all directions.

Air waves steamed, and dust filled the sky.

The ground sank downwards, squeezing out a large piece of hard "mud slab," and then cracked with spiderweb-like patterns.

The other nine members of the Flame and Metal Trading Company team were all shaken into the air by the huge force of the "mud slab" rebounding from the ground.

Hanging in mid-air, vomiting blood wildly, not only completely losing their center of gravity, but their heads were also dizzy and crashed, making it impossible to make effective moves.

Lin Ke waved his hand to summon a water curtain, extinguished the few remaining sparks blown by the strong air pressure, washed away the stains on the surface of the battle armor, stood up tall, and stood proudly.

This punch contained mental power and magic power amplification close to the limit of an ordinary Level 2 Wizard, as well as most of the source power of a "Small World" that had developed to the third stage.

Converted into the measurement standard of attack wizardry, it was equivalent to the attack intensity of a 3rd ring wizardry.

The power of a casual blow from a 3rd ring wizard was nothing more than this!

The Flame and Metal Trading Company team, with all their trump cards out, still couldn't take it!

And the outcome of not being able to take it was so miserable.

"Whooha!"

Molly led "Do Whatever Is Free," exhausted all her strength, and used up all the wizardry and wizard artifacts that could speed up, just to arrive at this time.

Just as she arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, she witnessed the violent scene of Lin Ke killing through all the defenses of the Flame and Metal Trading Company team alone.

The morale of "Do Whatever Is Free" exploded instantly.

Buck took the lead and roared, his eyes red, and the veins on his neck popped out.

Like a bloodthirsty wolf, he rushed towards the nine people whose lives Lin Ke had deliberately controlled the aftermath of the punch to leave half of.

Lynn was silent, raised his hand, and cast a simple and unadorned water-type 1st ring wizardry "High-Pressure Water Gun."

If there is wizardry to use, why learn from the big boss and use fists, are you stupid?

Do you really think anyone can be like the big boss, as an elemental wizard, concurrently cultivate the True Spirit Wizard system, and still be able to fight violently in close combat like a Body Refining Wizard?

What kind of beautiful things are you thinking about?

Others, except for Molly, who was in charge of logistics, and Betty, who was in charge of medical care, stopped, all followed up and used their best attack wizardry.

Attacking the living targets hanging in the air that couldn't move first.

The big boss had already reached such a level; if they let the living targets live for another moment, it would be considered a poor performance.

In the blink of an eye, the remaining nine members of the Flame and Metal Trading Company team were either cut into several pieces, buried alive and suffocated to death, burned into charcoal by scorching light, or nailed to the cracked ground by thick wooden stakes...

Each had their own posture, each had their own way of dying.

In just one encounter, they were wiped out.

From beginning to end, they didn't even make a decent counterattack.

Were they too weak?

No.

It was Lin Ke who was too overpowered and too perverted!

"Fuck!"

Outside, in the opera house-style building.

The leader of Shadow City, a man as cold and gloomy as a snake, stood up with a swoosh, vomiting foul language, "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Without the leisurely posture of sarcasm as before, he appeared vulgar.

The gloomy man pointed at Sandra, his fingers trembling, his lips quivering:

"Can this fucking be a Level 1 Wizard?

You tell me yourself, is this fucking outrageous thing a Level 1 Wizard?

Don't tell me your Riverside Academy can't afford to lose, cheated, and sent a senior Level 2 Wizard to mix in?

Huh?

Such perverted attack intensity, even senior Level 2 Wizards like you and me can't fucking hit it, right?

Huh?"

Stimulated too much by the violent scene earlier, the gloomy leader of Shadow City showed signs of losing his mind.

Speaking incoherently, yelling wildly, just venting his emotions.

Sandra was also dumbfounded and extremely shocked at this time.

She was doubting life, doubting herself.

Just like the leader of the Flame and Metal Trading Company, the three-point witch Wina said, Sandra had always prided herself on her excellent vision.

Who would have thought that she would misjudge Lin Ke Grande twice.

The first conscription, she valued Lin Ke's talent and ability in pharmacy and biochemical research.

Therefore, after Lanny relayed Lin Ke's idea of not wanting to join her, she extinguished the thought of sending a recruitment invitation.

What was she thinking at the time?

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but aren't two-legged men easy to find?

If she really wanted to recruit a genius in pharmacy and biochemical research, with her status and position, would she be short of such a technical wizard?

The second time, which was this conscription, she indeed valued Lin Ke's strength and team.

However, facing the mockery of the three-point witch Wina, what did Sandra do?

She naturally treated Lin Ke Grande with the attitude of treating a servant, high and mighty, ordering him around.

Just like how she usually treated Lanny Taylor, doing this and that, east and west.

Still dare not obey?

Don't you want resources?

She never expected that,

She thought Lin Ke Grande didn't respond and remained silent, just forcibly retaining his dignity,

But the person really had a spirit in his heart, and the strength to support this spirit!

Sandra even felt that, setting aside the few life-saving wizard artifacts given by her mother, if it were a fair duel, she would not be Lin Ke Grande's opponent!

Lanny Taylor, sitting next to Sandra, had dull eyes and was lost in thought at this time.

She finally understood what the difference was between herself and Lin Ke Grande.

It was not talent, not diligence, but spirit.

Lin Ke Grande chose independence and self-reliance from the very beginning, to become big and strong.

And what about her, Lanny Taylor?

At first, she also planned to take this path.

It was just that she changed her mind halfway.

First, she wanted to learn from Lin Ke, climb onto the line of Sage Paro, and eat the resources and connections of the "Newblood Mutual Aid Society."

Later, there was no result, and she was silent for a long time until Sandra sent a recruitment invitation. After Lanny checked Sandra's background and identity, she thought this was a much thicker thigh than Sage Paro, and chose to hug it without hesitation.

By this time, Lanny suddenly discovered that it didn't matter whether she hugged a thigh or not.

Lin Ke Grande had also hugged a thigh.

However, while hugging a thigh, one cannot lack spirit.

Lanny Taylor woke up suddenly, she lacked Lin Ke's spirit of being the master and being unparalleled!

As a result, she was slow to fully exert her Fifth-Rank Upper aptitude!

The leader of the Flame and Metal Trading Company, the three-point wizard Wina, in shock, subconsciously surged an orange flame from her palm.

"Ah!!!!!"

The male pet whose face had been wantonly ravaged by the three-point wizard immediately let out a scream.

Flapping his hands, wanting to extinguish the flames on his body.

However, was wizardry fire so easy to extinguish?

The male pet, whose mental power and magic power had long been locked and could not cast wizardry, just howled and burned out within a few seconds.

The whole room was filled with a pungent smell mixed with burnt fragrance and stench.

Without waiting for others to complain or scold, the three-point wizard Wina waved her hand and immediately dispersed the smell.

Then she subconsciously took out "air freshener" from the small bag on her waist and sprayed it lightly to clean the air.

After doing this, the three-point wizard Wina truly walked out of the state of being too shocked.

She turned her head and stared at Sandra, but said nothing.

Compared to the two who had teased the gold-rimmed glasses pretty boy Lin Ke Grande before, the two leaders of the White Tower Alliance and Mesopotamia University did not react so exaggeratedly.

The leader of Mesopotamia University just took a deep breath, closed his eyes, leaned back, and sat in the chair.

No longer looking at the real-time images, but in painful self-isolation.

Why is the Riverside Academy never short of geniuses, always able to pop up unreasonable geniuses?

And the former big brother, Mesopotamia University, is declining bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye?

Don't look, it's tiring to look too much.

Just like this.

The "Scholar" leader of the White Tower Alliance closed the thick book in his hand, leaned his upper body forward a bit, stared carefully at Lin Ke in the real-time image, and muttered to himself:

"Perfect wizard!

This is the perfect wizard!

What elements, what true spirits, what body refining, what intellectual machines, what beast taming, all are minor details.

Energy and matter are the essence!

Who says fists are not wizardry?

Who says fists are not wizardry!

I must get him, cut him open, dig out his heart and lungs, make him into a specimen, and display him at my bedside.

I must get him!"

The "Scholar" leader looked at Sandra suddenly, his eyes extremely fiery, his tone extremely fanatical:

"Sandra, sell him to me!

You must sell him to me!

I can do my best to persuade my great-grandfather to let him support your Riverside Academy.

You must sell him to me!"

Sandra glared coldly at the crazy "Scholar" and did not respond.

Lanny Taylor lowered her head, using this action to cover up her shocked mind, as well as the fear and hatred that arose for no reason.

Perhaps, because of the injury to her own kind?

It turns out that in the eyes of these "young masters" and "young ladies" of top wizard organizations, the young genius wizards of their own or others' families can be sold at will like goods.

Even if Sandra didn't respond just now, and even glared coldly.

However, having been by Sandra's side for nearly half a year, Lanny had already figured out some of Sandra's habits and subtle expressions.

Lanny could be sure that Sandra had just subconsciously considered whether it would be worth it to sell Lin Ke Grande!

In that case, when would she also be discussed as a commodity to be bought and sold?

Competition World.

Lin Ke looked around at the battlefield and the few direct members who had obtained their first real kill in their lives, and ordered indifferently: "Clean up the battlefield quickly and transfer immediately."

After leaving this sentence, Lin Ke walked to the position where Molly was, and said to Betty, who was slightly unnatural: "You go to clean up the battlefield too, um... you are responsible for dealing with the corpses."

"Yes, big boss."

Betty's face turned slightly pale, but she agreed without hesitation.

It was not that she had never been in contact with corpses, nor had she never been in contact with fighting, nor had she never been in contact with casualties.

It was just that she had never faced an extremely bloody battlefield like this before.

"Why bother? Just let her adapt slowly."

Waiting for Betty to endure the nausea and start stacking corpse fragments, or burning, or burying, Molly couldn't help but ask.

She felt that Lin Ke's practice of forcing Betty to face blood and cruelty just now was a bit too cold and hard.

Not very approving of doing so.

Lin Ke looked up at the three "suns" spanning the sky of this barren world and explained gloomily: "My premonition tells me that if we are not decisive in killing, we will fall into big trouble. There is not so much time for her to adapt slowly. They must improve as quickly as possible so as not to drag me..."

This sentence stopped abruptly and was not finished.

Molly knew that Lin Ke's premonition had always been very accurate, so she was not prepared to say anything more.

Thinking for a while, she took the initiative to go down and clean up the battlefield with others.

After a while, the battlefield cleanup was over.

"Do Whatever Is Free" set off and, under Lin Ke's guidance, marched towards the central direction of the competition area delineated in the barren world.

The safety circle gradually shrinks, it must be from the outside in.

Walking towards the center will not go wrong.

"Lin Ke, there is something I think you need to know."

During the silent march, Molly suddenly spoke, her tone extremely complicated.

She was responsible for the team's logistics.

The spoils of cleaning up the battlefield would naturally be organized by her.

In a diary written by someone unknown, Molly found a piece of news that had a slight relationship with her and Lin Ke.

"What is it?"

Lin Ke walked a step faster and stood side by side with Molly.

Since the silence had been broken, he simply asked directly without using "Mind Communication."

"See for yourself."

Molly handed over the opened diary.

Lin Ke took it and looked, then was silent and speechless, his mood subtle.

The owner of the diary complained in it:

The Flame and Metal Trading Company only serves a few core families; ordinary members have no human rights, not to mention being crazily exploited, and they cannot guarantee their innocence.

In his generation alone, there were countless people who couldn't escape the clutches of the female devil Wina Mussolini.

Either squeezed dry or burned to death.

His only good friend during his apprenticeship, Jimny Hendricks, after gritting his teeth for two years, still couldn't resist the omnipresent oppression.

Finally surrendered, and was eventually burned to death, without even ashes left.

He followed Jimny's arrangement, which he seemed to have a premonition about before the incident, sent a letter to a person named Christina in Shadow City, and then set up a cenotaph for Jimny.

At the end of this diary entry is a passage reflecting on the fate of life:

"We are born like grass, trampled by others."

"Even after death, we will be burned to ashes."

"Why would I die?"

"Where will I die?"
