The Simp Awakened? No, He Evolved into a Tyrannosaurus!

Lin Yuan actually told Li Xuan'er...

To get lost???

The voice was not loud, yet in the quiet cultivation room, it reached everyone's ears with perfect clarity.

The entire room fell into Dead Silence.

All the students widened their eyes, wondering if they had heard wrong.

The sweet smile on Li Xuan'er's face froze instantly as she stared at Lin Yuan in disbelief.

That word again!

He actually told her to get lost in front of the entire class?

"Lin Yuan! You!"

Li Xuan'er's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, humiliation and fury intertwined.

Only then did Lin Yuan lazily sit up straight.

His gaze swept over the classmates watching the show before returning to Li Xuan'er, his voice suddenly rising several notches.

"Everyone, let me tell you a joke."

"Yesterday, this very Top Beauty Li inexplicably came to my house and opened her mouth to demand three Yellow Grade Upper-Quality Qi Gathering Pills."

"What? I scolded you away yesterday, and today you still had the nerve to come to school asking for an Ice Soul Orchid?"

"Li Xuan'er, is your skin made of city walls? Or do you think I, Lin Yuan, am some idiot you can summon at will and dismiss with a wave?"

"You treated me like your ATM and used my resources to support that pretty boy Ye Xuan. Did you really think I didn't know?"

Boom!

Lin Yuan's words exploded through the classroom like thunder erupting from level ground!

Everyone was stunned senseless by this explosive revelation!

So that had happened yesterday too?

And Lin Yuan actually...

Knew all about it?!

Li Xuan'er looked as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turning deathly pale in an instant.

She had never expected Lin Yuan to expose the matter in public, and to say it so bluntly without leaving her the slightest shred of dignity!

"I... I didn't!"

She instinctively tried to defend herself.

"Shut up!"

Lin Yuan suddenly barked, and an incomparably terrifying pressure erupted from within him!

The Aura of the peak of Marrow Cleansing Realm ninth level.

Mixed with a trace of the thunderous will of the Nine Heavens Thunder Emperor Scripture, it transformed into near-tangible pressure and slammed fiercely toward Li Xuan'er!

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Li Xuan'er felt as though an invisible mountain had crashed into her chest.

Her blood and qi churned as the impact forced her back seven or eight steps in a row. Finally, with a thump, she fell to the ground in utter disgrace.

She stared at Lin Yuan with a Face Full Of horror, her eyes filled with Fear and disbelief.

So...

So powerful a pressure!

This power was ten times more terrifying than what she had felt in the villa yesterday!

The entire class was rendered silent by the sudden scene, every one of them Stunned.

"My god... that presence... Lin Yuan... what is he trying to do?"

"He actually dared to get angry at Li Xuan'er?"

"The simp... awakened? No, he evolved into a Tyrannosaurus!"

The discussions erupted once more.

But this time, no one dared mock Lin Yuan again. Their gazes toward him were filled with awe and shock.

Under countless strange looks, Li Xuan'er only felt that there was nowhere on earth for her to hide.

She Crawled Up from the ground, shot Lin Yuan a venomous glare, then ran crying from the cultivation room.

As for Lin Yuan, as though he had merely done something trivial, he leaned back against the wall, Yawned, and Closed His Eyes.

He continued sleeping.

The incident of Lin Yuan publicly humiliating Li Xuan'er and displaying strength seemingly at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Ninth Level swept through the entire Dragon Summer Country Capital Martial Arts Academy like a typhoon within half a day.

The former "number-one simp," who had obeyed Li Xuan'er's every word, had actually undergone a drastic change in temperament and transformed into a cold-faced evil god. The immense contrast gave everyone plenty to talk about.

On the campus forums and in all kinds of small chat groups, the discussion directly exploded.

"Extra! Extra! Young Master Lin has awakened, and the green tea campus belle socially died on the spot!"

"I was there! That Aura was terrifying! Li Xuan'er was shaken straight to the ground and ran away crying!"

"So Lin Yuan wasn't weak before. He just put his efforts in the wrong place!"

"Even a pig could fly to the heavens if the Lin Family piled that many resources onto it, right?"

"Exactly. After simping for so many years and getting nothing, he finally came to his senses. If he ate the pills he used to feed Li Xuan'er himself, how could he not improve? I think he's just a simp who woke up. It's no big deal."

This view quickly became the mainstream opinion.

After all, how could a person's nature change just because they said it would?

In most people's eyes, Lin Yuan was still that spoiled dandy who had nothing but his family background.

Lin Yuan did not care in the slightest about the gossip outside.

The little lackeys who had once revolved around him discovered that their Young Master's life had recently become terrifyingly regular.

If he was not sleeping in class, then he was sunbathing on the lawn in the garden, or lying on a sofa in the library spacing out.

In short, there was only one word for it—

Lying down.

Yet the faint but powerful aura around him grew more alarming by the day.

During a break, beneath a century-old tree in the academy's Back Garden.

Lin Yuan lay on the soft grass with his arms under his head, a blade of grass between his lips. He was Closed His Eyes and resting, enjoying the system's automatic idle service.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a clear and pleasant female voice, carrying a hint of teasing, rang out above his head.

"Well, if it isn't our academy-famous Young Master Lin. Your life really is refined, isn't it?"

Lin Yuan lazily opened one eye and looked upward.

What entered his sight was a pair of straight, slender beautiful legs wrapped in fashionable jeans, outlining astonishing curves.

His gaze traveled upward to reveal a breathtaking beauty with a tall and graceful figure, full in all the right places.

She had chestnut-colored wavy hair, dazzling features, and an air of confidence and heroism.

She was completely different from Li Xuan'er's pure white-lotus type. Her beauty was intensely aggressive.

Gu Ningxue.

That name surfaced in Lin Yuan's mind.

The eldest daughter of the Gu Family. Though her family could not compare with the Lin Family, it was still considered a first-class wealthy clan in Dragon Summer Country.

In the Original Work, she was also one of the heroines.

She was currently at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level.

And she was a first-rate Prodigy!

Due to their families' connections, she had some interactions with the original owner in the early stages.

But as the original owner went farther and farther down the roads of being a simp and a Villain, the two gradually drifted apart.

Later, Ye Xuan rose to prominence.

During several adventures, he helped the Gu Family and Gu Ningxue, and she naturally became one of Ye Xuan's harem members.

But none of that had happened yet.

"That's right." Lin Yuan Closed His Eyes again and answered lazily, "With weather this nice, wouldn't it be too much of a waste not to take an afternoon nap?"

Gu Ningxue sat down beside him with great interest, and a pleasant scent of perfume drifted over.

Resting her chin on her hand, she turned her Beautiful Eyes and smiled mischievously. "What? Not going to hover around your goddess Xuan'er today? I heard you nearly scolded her to tears."

Lin Yuan could not even be bothered to move his eyelids. He merely shifted the grass stem in his mouth to the other side.

"Goddess? Don't make me laugh. She doesn't deserve that title. Crazy woman would be more fitting."

His tone was as calm as if he were discussing something completely unrelated to himself.

"Oh?"

A trace of surprise Flashed through Gu Ningxue's Beautiful Eyes.

"She doesn't deserve it?" Those four words coming from Lin Yuan—the same Lin Yuan who had once worshipped Li Xuan'er as a Divine Being—were simply too shocking.

"You didn't say that before." Gu Ningxue probed, "Back then, if anyone said a single bad word about Li Xuan'er, you would fight them to the death."

"People always change." Lin Yuan's voice carried not a trace of emotion. "After being a simp for too long, one eventually grows tired. Besides, when facing a block of solid ice that cannot be warmed no matter how scorching your heart is, continuing to persist is no longer devotion. It is stupidity."

After saying that, he spoke no more, as though he had truly fallen asleep.

But Gu Ningxue was stunned.

She fixed her gaze on Lin Yuan's profile.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and fell across him in dappled patches of light and shadow.

He was clearly talking about something deeply sorrowful, yet his tone was terrifyingly calm, as though he were telling someone else's story.

This nearly cold-blooded rationality and free-spirited detachment made him seem like an entirely different person from the impulsive, obsessive simp in her memories.

Thoughtful.

She suddenly felt that this Lin Yuan lying on the grass and "letting himself rot" seemed far more interesting than the one who had once chased after others' backsides.
