If you slap me, the whole world will suffer the same harm.

Just as Lin Chen was patting his butt, preparing to go back to school with Qin Zhenshan and the others.

An extremely terrifying pressure swept over us from afar without warning.

The feeling was like an invisible mountain suddenly crashing down from the sky.

Qin Zhenshan and Liu Hanshuang... two battle-hardened level eight military experts... couldn't even hold on for a single breath in the face of this oppressive force, and were directly forced to kneel on one knee.

Qin Zhenshan braced himself on the ground with both hands, the veins on his arms bulging, his teeth grinding together.

The icy blue protective aura around Liu Hanshuang surged wildly, trying to resist the pressure, but her body was still being pressed down little by little, and the ground below her knees was frozen with spiderweb-like cracks.

"Oh no... It's a level nine ability user from the Annihilation Cult! (;´Д`)"

Qin Zhenshan practically roared it out.

He struggled to lift his head and looked at Lin Chen, who was also lying on the ground under pressure. His voice was distorted due to the immense pressure he was under.

"Lin Chen! Run...run!"

Liu Hanshuang's face was as white as paper, and she gritted her teeth as she squeezed out a sentence.

"Why...why haven't we reached level nine yet? What are they doing?"

The four principals were also trapped in place by this oppressive force.

Su Changhe leaned on his peach wood cane, his body slightly bent, but he stubbornly refused to fall.

He squinted and glanced into the distance, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes, but more so a sense of solemnity.

"No need to guess... they must have been held back by the ninth level of the Annihilation Cult."

Su Changhe's voice was as deep as iron.

"They're really going all out; they've deployed several level nine warriors just to kill Lin Chen."

"Several?! ∑(ﾟДﾟ)"

Zhao Wuji was so overwhelmed that he couldn't even support his metal shield anymore. He lay sprawled on the ground, his voice filled with shock and despair.

"Has the Doomsday Cult gone mad? Level nine isn't as common as cabbage! How many level nines are there on the entire Blue Star? And they've mobilized several for just one student?!"

The veins on Xiang Beihong's forehead bulged, and lightning crackled all around him, but he couldn't release even a single spark.

The suppression of level 9 over level 8 is all-encompassing, like an ant facing an elephant; it's not a contest on the same level.

Chu Lingyun remained silent. His ice blade had shattered into powder under the oppressive force, and his fingers were trembling slightly.

It wasn't out of fear, but because of that feeling of powerlessness that seeped into my very bones.

At this moment, Lin Chen, who was pressed firmly to the ground on the rooftop, had his face pressed against the cold cement floor, but his mind was surprisingly calm.

He frantically shouted "System!" in his mind.

"System! System! System! Tell me quickly! Is this level nine user bound to pain sharing?!"

The system's cold, mechanical voice immediately rang in his mind, devoid of any emotion, yet it made Lin Chen's eyes light up instantly.

"Ding...Detection complete. This level nine ability user has already been lurking in Hangzhou City and is already within the binding range of the host's pain sharing."

Lin Chen was stunned.

Then he smiled. (￣▽￣)

That kind of laughter is the kind that can only be shown when you're pressed to the ground, face down, and your bones feel like they're about to fall apart—a wildly joyful laugh.

"Bind? Bind!"

His brain raced, quickly assessing his current state.

The indestructible hip technique will last for another ten minutes or so.

The pain amplifier is still working.

The tenfold pain sensation sharing feature covers the entire city.

He was still pinned down and unable to move, but his hands could still move.

This is enough.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chen then... squeezed with all his might. (｀Д´)

It's an experience that transcends the realm of linguistic description.

He was still wearing the Iron Fist Invincible Gloves, which were five times harder than his own.

The invincible pill's absolute defense ensured that he himself remained unharmed.

But the pain... fifteen times the pain... shot straight up his spine to his brain, causing his vision to go white for a moment.

He gritted his teeth and endured it, but the smile on his face grew even brighter.

It became.

Throughout the entire city of Hangzhou, all the men who shared the pain sensation and harbored hostility towards Lin Chen experienced, at the same instant, that excruciating pain that could make one's soul leave their body.

but........

The level nine man in black did not react.

The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure broke through the air from a distance and hovered steadily above them.

His black robe fluttered in the wind, and the bloodthirsty aura emanating from him was so thick it resembled an impenetrable blood mist, staining the entire sky a dark red.

The oppressive aura that made everyone feel suffocated emanated from this person.

Lin Chen's smile froze on his face. (⊙_⊙)

"What's going on? Why isn't he reacting at all?"

His brain began to work at lightning speed, with all sorts of possibilities flashing through his mind.

An indestructible hip? No, even if he has similar defensive capabilities, shouldn't fifteen times the pain make him react?

Congenital inability to feel pain? No, if members of the Annihilation Cult had such a condition, it would have been discovered long ago.

Could it be...?

The system coldly uttered a sentence in Lin Chen's mind that almost made him vomit blood.

"Host, you created a '0' (bottom), and the other party is a woman."

Lin Chen: "..."

Before he could even regret his miscalculation, the man in black had already landed, standing less than five steps away from him, looking down at Lin Chen who was lying on the ground.

The hood was lifted by a slender, fair hand.

She revealed a face that was cold and aloof to the extreme.

Long, slender eyebrows, a high, straight nose, thin lips pursed into a cool, aloof curve, and a hint of... shyness in her eyes? (⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)

That's right, it's shyness.

This level nine expert from the Annihilation Cult, this terrifying being who suppressed all the experts in the city, was now looking at Lin Chen with a cold yet slightly embarrassed gaze.

She spoke, her voice clear and cold, yet carrying an undeniable strangeness.

"Have you... pinched me enough? I'm a woman, do you think you can make me suffer excruciating pain?"

Lin Chen suddenly understood. (￣▽￣)✧

"The emotional system isn't malfunctioning, the problem is they don't have 'that thing,' so how can they feel pain?"

However, this level nine female man in black clearly underestimated Lin Chen's shamelessness.

Men have weaknesses, but don't women have them too?

Lin Chen's lips curled into a smile, and his right hand moved down again.

This time, he softened his grip...

The force was very light, as light as a feather brushing against water.

However, because of the pain amplifier, this gentle movement was synchronized with the woman in black and amplified tenfold.

ten times.

In addition, the enhanced tactile sensation comes from Lin Chen's Iron Fist Invincible Gloves, which are five times harder.

The woman in black suddenly jerked. (๑°ㅁ°๑)

Her cold eyes widened instantly, her pupils contracted sharply, and the icy mask on her face shattered completely in the blink of an eye.

A blush spread from her neck down to her ears, and then from her ears to her entire face.

"You...you shameless scoundrel!"

Her voice was trembling, and her knees were shaking.
