The Evil Lin Chu

Lin Chen stopped and turned to look at the two of them.

There was no anger on his face, only a hint of amusement.

"Need something?"

Yu Xiaogang clung to Scarface's arm, looking pitiful.

"Brother Dong, he's a student at our academy and he's always going against me there. You wouldn't mind having one more toy, would you?"

Lin Chen: "???"

Damn it. If Yu Xiaogang wanted him dead, Lin Chen wouldn't have found it strange, but asking someone to do that to him too...

That was simply unforgivable.

Hearing this, Wang Dong couldn't help looking Lin Chen up and down, a lewd smile creeping onto his face.

"Kid, come here."

Lin Chen rolled his neck, then suddenly shot forward. He moved so fast that a series of illusory afterimages trailed behind him.

Forget Yu Xiaogang—even Scarface could barely catch his movements.

"Damn it!"

Scarface's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively tried to summon his Martial Soul.

But before his Martial Soul could emerge, Lin Chen had already reached him and drove a fist into his temple.

Bang!

Scarface's body flipped ninety degrees, and his head slammed heavily into the ground. A dull boom echoed through the alley.

Before he could react, another heavy blow crashed into his abdomen.

Scarface slid across the ground, skidding more than ten meters before finally stopping when he crashed into the steps extending from a house in the alley.

"Ugh..."

Scarface didn't scream. He merely curled up, clutching his stomach and groaning continuously, unable to muster even a shred of strength.

As for Yu Xiaogang...

He seemed frozen with fright, standing there dumbfounded as he watched Scarface curl up on the ground and groan.

What kind of joke was this?

Brother Dong was a Soul King. How could a mere First-Ring Spirit Master knock him down in two moves?

Since when had Soul Kings become so pathetic?

Lin Chen turned to look at Yu Xiaogang. A single glance made the latter shudder as he staggered backward.

"Y-you... I-I..."

Slap!

Lin Chen backhanded him to the ground, then kicked him straight into Scarface's arms.

"Ugh..."

Yu Xiaogang groaned nonstop. He had finally experienced Lin Chen's monstrous strength firsthand. That was not strength a First-Ring Spirit Master could possibly possess.

What he didn't know was this:

The reason Scarface had immediately lost the ability to resist wasn't Lin Chen's kick, but that first punch.

That punch had been the Mountain-Shaking Fist, though Lin Chen hadn't used his full strength.

Otherwise, with Lin Chen's current power, while he might not have blown Scarface's head apart in one punch, shattering his brain outright would have been no problem.

Lin Chen stopped three meters away from them.

"I'll give you two choices. Either I kill you, or you go to the busy streets and put on a proper show of your little romance."

What Yu Xiaogang cared about most in his life was his reputation. Making him put on a show with Scarface in the middle of a busy street—

That was far more entertaining than simply killing him.

Yu Xiaogang abruptly raised his head and glared at Lin Chen, his face full of disbelief.

Make him and Brother Dong do that in the street...

What kind of joke was that?

He was the number one theoretical master in the Spirit Master world. How could he afford to lose that much face?

How could someone be this evil?

"Lin Chen, my name is Yu Xiaogang. I am the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's sect master, and I share a close relationship with Bibi Dong, the current Pope of Spirit Hall..."

"Enough."

Lin Chen cut him off impatiently.

"You're such an idiot that you forget your own surname whenever you're showing off, but the moment you run into trouble, you remember your identity."

"How can someone be as shameless as you?"

"Whether it's Yu Yuanzhen or Bibi Dong, you can have them come find me anytime. But right now, you have to make your choice."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened even further.

He had never dreamed that anyone on the entire continent would not fear his father, or even the Pope of Spirit Hall.

Just who was this kid?

Had he secluded himself in Nuoding City for too long, and some drastic change occurred in the continent's power structure?

That shouldn't be possible.

If something major had really happened on the continent, there was no way news of it wouldn't reach Nuoding City.

Nuoding City wasn't some backwater.

"Kid..."

Scarface had finally recovered somewhat. He stood up with a dark expression, a blood-red saber appearing in his right hand.

Five Spirit Rings—white, yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—rose one after another beneath his feet.

"Wuhen!"

Lin Chen had no interest in wasting time with them, so he simply called for Wuhen.

The instant his words fell, a terrifying pressure of soul power descended. Scarface, who had just gotten up, was instantly forced flat onto the ground.

His face was filled with terror, and he couldn't move in the slightest.

Yu Xiaogang was no exception. The terrifying soul power pressure made it difficult for him to breathe, and his bones creaked under the strain.

Damn it, such a powerful expert was actually protecting this kid.

Only now did he understand why Tang Hao had feared Lin Chen so much, and just how foolish his own actions had been.

Lin Chen said coldly, "Die, or go put on a show in the busy streets."

"I choose the latter."

Scarface chose the latter without hesitation. He even felt a faint sense of anticipation after making his choice.

Doing it publicly in a busy street...

He had never experienced that before.

Yu Xiaogang's face was full of struggle, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

He truly wanted to choose death, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't say them.

He had finally found a disciple blessed with extraordinary talent. Becoming the number one theoretical master in the Spirit Master world was within reach.

How could he die now?

Damn Lin Chen. Why was he so evil? Why was he forcing him like this?

"Three..."

"I choose the latter."

Lin Chen had only just begun counting down when Yu Xiaogang immediately made his choice.

In the end, he still lacked the courage to die.

Lin Chen smiled. "Very good. I'll have someone watching you from the shadows. If either of you dares to harbor any crooked thoughts or try to half-ass it..."

"Heh."

He didn't finish his sentence, but that cold chuckle was the best threat possible.

With that, Lin Chen ignored the two of them and turned to leave.

System, begin editing.

Yu Xiaogang and Wang Dong engaged in a public tryst in the busy streets, drawing countless onlookers. Someone among them recognized Yu Xiaogang.

Their story quickly spread throughout Nuoding City and continued spreading outward.

In less than a month, the story of Yu Yuanzhen's son from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect engaging in a public tryst with another man in the busy streets spread across the entire continent.

[Editing complete!]

Lin Chen checked the script. Once he confirmed there were no major issues, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

Lin Chu, as expected of you.

He wondered how Yu Yuanzhen and Bibi Dong would react once they received this news.
