Shocking the Entire Crowd! / Detoxification

Lin Fan let out a furious roar. His right hand transformed into a dragon claw and struck out, slamming hard into Qin Ming's palm!

The instant they made contact, energy erupted in a violent wave. When their hands parted, Lin Fan's dragon claw curled, leaving five savage gashes on the back of Qin Ming's hand. Two were deep enough to expose bone, and blood dripped steadily from his fingers!

"Teacher Qin!"

Seeing Qin Ming wounded after just one exchange with Lin Fan, Yu Tianheng couldn't help crying out.

"People from Shrek Academy are all cut from the same cloth. You're not much to look at, but you sure run your mouths!"

Lin Fan sneered. He showed no fear as he met Qin Ming's murderous gaze.

"Fine. I'll make you regret saying that!"

Powerful Soul Power surged out from Qin Ming, spreading from his body. Six dazzling Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—appeared beneath his feet. Behind him emerged a crimson wolf. It was his Martial Soul, the Blazing Azure Wolf!

As Qin Ming released his Martial Soul, Yu Tianheng's fear of Lin Fan ebbed somewhat.

"Brat, even if you're a Soul Emperor, you're still no match for Mentor Qin Ming!"

Yu Tianheng sneered inwardly. Qin Ming was a Level 68 Soul Emperor, with not only the powerful Beast Martial Soul, the Blazing Azure Wolf, but also the best possible Soul Ring Configuration!

Chapter 57: Shocking the Entire Crowd!

He refused to believe Lin Fan had anything that could give him an edge over Qin Ming!

"Lin Fan, why don't you head back first? Lingling and I will come find you in a few days."

With both sides on the brink of a fight, Dugu Yan's heart sank. She knew better than anyone just how powerful Qin Ming was. If Lin Fan stayed, he could very well get hurt.

"Don't worry. No one can stop me from taking the people I want to take with me!"

"He's just a Soul Emperor. Who isn't?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan stamped his right foot on the ground. A wave of Soul Power even more terrifying than Qin Ming's burst forth, and one after another, Soul Rings lit up beneath his feet!

Purple, purple, purple, black, black, red!

Brilliant light surrounded Lin Fan, illuminating everyone's faces!

Every face was etched with shock and disbelief. Their eyes were vacant, as if even their breathing and heartbeats had stopped. Their mouths hung wide open, jaws nearly dropping to the floor!

"T-This... how is this possible?!"

Yu Tianheng was especially horrified, as if he'd seen a ghost. His pointing finger trembled violently!

A Soul Emperor under the age of fifteen, with a Soul Ring Configuration beyond anything people could imagine—especially that final, brilliant-red, hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. Anyone who saw it would be shaken to their core!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Azure Wolf Scorches the Heavens!"

While everyone stood stunned, blazing fire-attribute Soul Power surged from Qin Ming. His sixth, black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring flashed wildly!

Flames as tangible as real fire roared around him, gathering together until they formed a crimson fire wolf two zhang tall. It plunged straight toward Lin Fan!

Even from more than ten meters away, everyone could feel the scorching waves of heat. The air within half a meter of the crimson wolf shimmered and warped in the intense heat!

Qin Ming's sudden attack caught most of them off guard. It was practically an ambush—and a mentor ambushing a teenager, no less. It was utterly dishonorable!

But Qin Ming had no other choice. The moment Lin Fan revealed his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, Qin Ming had felt a sense of despair. Beyond Lin Fan's Soul Ring Configuration, the mysterious dragon Martial Soul behind him placed immense pressure on Qin Ming as well!

His only chance of winning was to ambush Lin Fan with his strongest attack!

"Heh. Shrek Academy's despicable, underhanded tricks have truly flourished in your hands!"

Lin Fan sneered. Qin Ming's Soul Power fluctuations had been completely exposed to his powerful spiritual perception. The moment Qin Ming attacked, Lin Fan was already prepared!

"Ancestral Dragon Heaven-Opening Seal!"

As Lin Fan's fifth Soul Ring flashed, crimson-gold Soul Power gathered in his hand. In the blink of an eye, it formed a palm-sized glowing seal before him!

The golden seal radiated a sacred light, its surface engraved with intricate, holy patterns. Lin Fan flicked his hand, and the seal drifted straight toward the enormous fire wolf!

Compared to the massive wolf, which radiated searing heat, the golden seal seemed as light as a leaf drifting in the wind, as if it posed no threat at all!

Yet when the two collided in midair, they locked in a brief stalemate before a howl escaped the fire wolf's mouth. Cracks began to spread across its body!

"How is this possible?!"

Qin Ming's eyes widened in the distance. For the first time, fear appeared on his face!

He had never underestimated Lin Fan. He had even opened with his strongest attack Soul Skill. Yet against Lin Fan's fifth Soul Skill, he had quickly found himself at a disadvantage!

Boom!

Before Qin Ming could react, the seal exploded in midair. A terrifying surge of Soul Power swept fiercely toward him!

The fire wolf held out for less than two seconds before collapsing completely, unable to withstand the terrifying blast of Soul Power!

Boom!

Qin Ming had no time to react. It felt as if a sledgehammer had smashed into his chest, sending him flying more than ten meters. He crashed hard into a wall, then slowly slid down it.

Pfft!

Qin Ming spat out a mouthful of blood. Every bone in his body felt as if it had come apart, while his internal organs seemed to have been twisted into a knot. He couldn't even stand.

"With skills like that, you think you're fit to mentor Yanyan and Lingling? What a joke!"

Lin Fan sauntered over to Qin Ming and planted a foot on his head!

"I'm taking Yanyan and Lingling with me. Who's for it, and who's against it?!"

Lin Fan swept his gaze around. Every member of Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team, Yu Tianheng included, lowered their heads and didn't dare so much as breathe loudly!

They simply couldn't believe that Teacher Qin, so powerful in their eyes, had been trampled beneath Lin Fan's foot like a dead dog!

"Y-You can't act so arrogant! You insulted Shrek Academy. The headmaster and the others won't let you get away with it!"

Qin Ming struggled beneath Lin Fan's foot, trying to stand, but he couldn't. All he could do was make empty threats.

"Heh. Not only you—I've trampled that idiot Zhao Wuji underfoot too!"

"If you're not convinced, go ahead and call them over. I'll take on one, or I'll take on a whole crowd!"

Lin Fan's words pierced Qin Ming's heart like a sharp thorn, filling him with an overwhelming sense of defeat!

"Could it be... Teacher Zhao Wuji lost to you too? Impossible!"

Lin Fan couldn't be bothered to explain anything to the utterly dejected Qin Ming. He kicked him more than ten meters away, then took the still-dazed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling with him and left the residential area of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Y-You're way too monstrous!"

On the way, Dugu Yan stared at Lin Fan with a complicated expression and couldn't help speaking up.

Everything Lin Fan had done just now was far beyond anything she could comprehend. Ye Lingling, beside her, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Heh heh. Spend enough time with me, and you'll discover an even more monstrous side of me!"

Lin Fan spoke with a faint, teasing smile.

He led the two women back to their lodging and went straight to Ning Rongrong's room!

"You two can stay with Rongrong for now. Get to know each other better. From now on, we'll all be on the same team, so we're one family."

Though Lin Fan and Ning Rongrong hadn't actually been together, the little girl's heart already belonged to him!

Having Ning Rongrong act as a wingwoman was perfect!

There'd be nothing to stop Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling from joining the team. They could simply kick out two of the three remaining members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team!

The entire team was now Lin Fan's to command!

Over the next few days, Lin Fan and the others had it easy. Their opponents had forfeited in advance, so Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team won without fighting!

"Lin Fan, it's time for the detoxification."

Dugu Yan came to find Lin Fan every day, spending two hours getting the poison removed.

Chapter 58: Detoxification

"Sorry for borrowing your boyfriend!"

Dugu Yan's pretty face reddened slightly, since Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were both in the room!

She wasn't sure whether Lin Fan had told them the specifics of how she was being detoxified, but she still felt a little guilty!

"It's fine, Sister Yanyan. Go ahead and use him—just don't break him!"

Xiao Wu winked playfully at Dugu Yan and spoke with a smile.

"I'm built like a tank. How could I break? The three of you could use me at once and I'd still be fine!"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu, then showed off his biceps.

"Alright, alright, we know you're amazing. Off you go!"

With Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing pushing him, Lin Fan was all but forced out of the room.

"Xiao Wu and Zhuqing really don't get jealous?"

Seeing their attitudes, Dugu Yan was rather surprised!

Both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were breathtakingly beautiful, with perfect figures. Any man would be over the moon to have even one of them, yet Lin Fan got to enjoy both at once!

And the three of them got along so harmoniously!

"Do they look jealous to you? They're dying for you to join us too. That way, we won't be one short when we play mahjong!"

Lin Fan spread his hands and explained.

"I..."

Dugu Yan blushed, unsure how to answer.

Lin Fan didn't press her. He led Dugu Yan to the small woods.

"Lin Fan, didn't you say there were other, faster ways to get rid of the poison? Like that nucleic acid testing method? I want to try it..."

Once they reached their destination, Dugu Yan spoke up. Sneaking out every time didn't feel right, and they had to kiss for two hours straight. Sometimes her mouth got numb!

"Uh... those methods I mentioned require us to get even more intimate. I didn't bring them up these past few days because I wasn't sure how deep your feelings for me were..."

Lin Fan thought for a moment before answering. Before he got a woman's body, he first wanted to win her heart!

"I... Even though we haven't known each other long, I think you're someone I could entrust my whole life to. If Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing don't object, I'm willing to..."

Dugu Yan hesitated briefly before speaking, her pretty face already flushed red as the evening clouds!

Back at Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team, she and Yu Tianheng had been a couple in name. But because of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, they couldn't actually be intimate!

So Dugu Yan didn't have much affection for Yu Tianheng to begin with. On top of that, he had used cruel words to insult and belittle her, and what little affection she had for him had worn away completely!

Then Lin Fan appeared, like a ray of light in the darkest moment of her life. That impact had made her feelings for him soar. In just a few days, they had surpassed what she'd felt for Yu Tianheng during the years they'd been together!

"Alright. Let's begin!"

Lin Fan took a deep breath, then bought a tent from the System Mall and led Dugu Yan inside.

"Don't be nervous. I'll draw the poison out of your body very gently, and I promise your Soul Power will increase by at least three levels!"

Lin Fan held Dugu Yan by the shoulders, his voice full of certainty.

"R-Really?!"

"Of course. Try it and see..."

Looking at Dugu Yan's rosy cheeks, Lin Fan could no longer hold back his feelings. He kissed her bright-red, glistening lips!

Half an hour later.

"Sister Yanyan!"

As Lin Fan and Dugu Yan were in the middle of the detoxification, a woman's voice rang out from somewhere in the distance.

"Lin Fan... wait. Lingling's coming..."

Dugu Yan was breathless as she gently pushed Lin Fan away...

"We can't stop now! We're at the crucial stage of the detoxification. Your poison will be completely gone in another half hour!"

At that moment, Lin Fan couldn't care less about anything else!

"No... our tent is so obvious. She'll find us here soon..."

Dugu Yan tried to get up, but she was no match for Lin Fan's strength. She couldn't move at all!
