I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Ignore!

Utterly and completely ignored!

This kind of disregard is a million times more painful than pointing your finger at them and yelling at them!

Because it means that in Lin Yuan's world, they don't even have the right to be his opponents!

"Lin Yuan!!"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to walk out of the playground.

A scream, trembling with sobs, suddenly rang out from behind.

Chen Xiaoman finally broke down.

She shoved Wang Hao aside and rushed out without regard for anything else, shouting at Lin Yuan's retreating figure, "Lin Yuan! Stop right there!"

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, and countless pairs of eyes, full of gossip, turned to look.

Lin Yuan paused slightly, but did not turn around.

Chen Xiaoman watched that retreating figure, and tears streamed down her face.

"Lin Yuan, can we go back to how things were before?"

"I know I was wrong!"

"I really know I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't have said those things that day, I shouldn't have teamed up with Wang Hao!"

"I've always, always liked you!"

Chen Xiaoman cried with tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with sorrow.

"Please, please forgive me just this once?"

"I'm willing to do anything if you're willing to turn back!"

Even if it's just being your follower!

boom!

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

"Holy crap! This is outrageous!"

"Publicly asking to get back together?"

"This Chen Xiaoman is quite something. Seeing Lin Yuan take off, she immediately wants to kick Wang Hao to the curb?"

"Tsk tsk, so realistic."

"But do you think Lin Yuan will agree? Chen Xiaoman may not be as pretty as Ouyang Xue, but she's still the class beauty."

"If Ouyang Xue is the aloof type, then Chen Xiaoman is more of a sweet and lively girl, which has a unique charm."

"If it were me, I'd fake my resurrection first, then give Chen Xiaoman a good dressing down!"

"This scheming woman, now that she knows Lin Yuan's potential, and considering her past mistakes, she definitely won't refuse any order Lin Yuan gives her!"

"Holy crap! Bro, you've got some serious ideas! Hehehe, I love it!"

Wang Hao, standing to the side, instantly turned green.

It's so green it's practically glowing!

He, a wealthy second-generation heir, was actually dumped by his own woman in public!

"Chen Xiaoman! You bitch!"

Wang Hao was trembling with anger and wanted to rush up and hit someone, but he was rooted to the spot by the contemptuous gazes around him and could not move.

This is absolutely a social disaster!

And under the expectant gaze of everyone.

Lin Yuan finally made a move.

He slowly turned around and looked at the woman who was crying her heart out.

The sunlight shone on his face, but it couldn't penetrate the coldness in his eyes.

"Going back to the past?"

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Chen Xiaoman, are you still asleep?"

"You were the one who looked down on me for being a human shield, you were the one who humiliated me in public, and you turned to that 'rich second generation' instead."

"Now that you see I'm strong, that I'm level 20, you want to come back?"

"What do you take me for?"

"A garbage recycling station?"

"Don't you like Wang Hao? Then just go with him."

"Also, from beginning to end, I don't think I ever accepted your advances, did I?"

"Weren't you the one who always took the initiative to stay by my side?"

"And coincidentally, I didn't dislike your behavior at the time. After all, having a nice-speaking and good-looking person of the opposite sex around can make one feel comfortable."

"Do you know why emperors in ancient times could know some ministers were treacherous, yet still heavily relied on them? Because honest advice is hard to swallow, while the words of treacherous ministers sound pleasant!"

Lin Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire venue.

Every word was like a slap across Chen Xiaoman's face.

Chen Xiaoman was deathly pale and swayed precariously.

No, that's not it.

"Lin Yuan, for the sake of our three years of friendship..."

"mutual affection?"

Lin Yuan sneered, interrupting her.

There has never been any affection between us.

"It didn't exist before, it doesn't exist now, and it certainly won't exist in the future."

After saying that, Lin Yuan didn't look at her again.

He turned around and waved to the crowd with his back to them.

"And also, don't bother me again. Let's each go our own way!"

The words fell.

Lin Yuan strode away from the school, leaving behind only a resolute and domineering silhouette.

"Wow!!"

Chen Xiaoman finally couldn't bear the huge blow and sat down on the ground, bursting into tears.

she knows.

She lost this man completely.

Without Lin Yuan, she was destined to be nothing more than a joke in this world where the strong are respected.

As for Wang Hao?

He watched Lin Yuan's departing figure, then glanced at Chen Xiaoman, who was throwing a tantrum on the ground.

He felt as if a vast green grassland lay above his head, and his heart was filled with endless humiliation and resentment.

"Lin Yuan, you just wait!"

"During the college entrance exam, I'll make sure you're completely disgraced!"

Back home, Lin Yuan didn't dwell on the little incident at school.

To him now, Wang Hao and Chen Xiaoman are nothing more than pebbles on the roadside; once kicked away, they are forgotten.

For the next few days, Lin Yuan, Ouyang Xue, and Xia Chenlei went to run the dungeon twice a day without fail.

The rest of the time was spent adjusting.

Three days later, Lin Yuan returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as you enter the forging room, a wave of intense heat hits you.

"Hahaha! It's done! It's finally done!" Old Zhou, with his messy white hair and bloodshot eyes, was as excited as a young man who had just been injected with chicken blood.

"Hahaha! It's done! It's finally done!" Old Zhou, with his messy white hair and bloodshot eyes, was as excited as a young man who had just been injected with chicken blood.

He held a massive shield in his hands, radiating a heavy, dark golden luster, as if it were a rare treasure.

"Hey kid! Come take a look!"

Lin Yuan stepped forward, his gaze instantly drawn to the set of equipment.

The original bronze-colored [Ten Thousand Devourers Set] has disappeared, replaced by a brand new suit of armor that is dark yellow all over, with barbs growing at the joints, and a shield as thick as a wall.
