We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

"Three hundred million?"

When Adam heard the number, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into extremely exaggerated laughter.

He pointed at Lin Ye, laughing so hard he almost fell over, and even the purple electric arcs on his body were crackling wildly.

"You Chinese are really something else," Adam said in broken Chinese, his face full of mockery. "If you can't beat me, just admit it. Using such a ridiculous excuse to cover up your cowardice. You think that'll scare me away?"

Lin Ye sighed in extreme frustration.

"Just say you don't have money." Lin Ye put his hands back into his suit pockets. "It's the weekend, I don't have time to be your free sparring partner."

Adam's smile vanished instantly.

To be publicly mocked as a penniless pauper by an ordinary person with no supernatural abilities is an insult to the geniuses of the Western Extraordinary Alliance.

"Since you don't want to spar, then I'll just grant you death!"

Adam showed no martial ethics whatsoever; he attacked without even giving a warning.

He clasped his hands together abruptly, unleashing his A-level lightning power without reservation.

A piercing electrical hum echoed at the school gate.

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a thigh, burst forth from his palm, carrying an extremely violent and destructive aura, and struck Lin Ye directly in the face.

The surrounding temperature soared instantly, and the air was filled with a strong smell of ozone.

"Watch out!" Xia Wanqiu shouted as she stood beside the armored vehicle.

The Chinese students who had gathered at the school gate were so frightened that they all closed their eyes, and a few timid girls even screamed.

They could almost foresee the horrific scene of Lin Ye being charred into a cocoon by high-voltage electricity.

Behind the crowd.

The old headmaster, who had been sweating profusely with anxiety, breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Adam make the first move.

He reached up and touched his sparse beard, then turned to look at the head of the teaching department beside him.

"They started it first. Even if it goes international, we are in the right."

"We can call the First Municipal Hospital now," the old principal said in a low voice. "Tell them to send a few ambulances, and it would be best if they brought an orthopedic surgeon with them."

The head of the teaching department was stunned.

Before he could react...

The purple lightning struck Lin Ye squarely in the chest.

The blinding light instantly illuminated the entire school gate, and everyone instinctively turned their heads to avoid the glare.

Two seconds later.

The lightning dissipated.

An eerily quiet silence fell over the scene.

There was no explosion as expected, no burnt smell, and not even a spark of static electricity.

Lin Ye stood still, not moving an inch.

He lowered his head, looking at his chest.

The top-tier vibranium bulletproof suit, a reward from the system, had an extremely faint metallic sheen on its surface. The terrifying energy contained in the A-level lightning bolt was instantly absorbed by this fabric.

It wasn't even scorched, let alone left with a crease.

Lin Ye reached out and patted off non-existent dust from his chest.

"Your aim for that spark is terrible." Lin Ye looked up at Adam, his tone flat. "You made a big show of it, but it's all cold. You can't even iron my suit properly."

Adam was completely dumbfounded.

He stared wide-eyed at Lin Ye, then looked down at his own hands.

This is an A-level lightning ability!

Normally in training camp, this one strike from him could turn a car into scrap metal!

When the bullet hit this Chinese man, it didn't even burn a single thread?

"This can't be!" Adam roared hysterically, raising his hands again. "Something must be wrong! I'll try again!"

"Try it, you old man."

Lin Ye completely lost his patience.

He pulled his right hand out of his pocket and swung it back to his groin.

Without using any internal energy, it was purely an explosion of physical strength.

The arm muscles contracted to their maximum extent in a fraction of a second, and the slap that was thrown directly compressed the air in front of it into a transparent wall of air.

Snapped!

A deafening sonic boom.

Lin Ye's hand struck Adam squarely on the left cheek.

Adam didn't even have time to scream before his face contorted instantly, and several blood-stained molars spurted out of his mouth.

A tremendous amount of physical kinetic energy poured into his body with overwhelming force.

Adam's feet left the ground, and he spun 720 degrees in mid-air before flying backward more than ten meters.

Boom!

He crashed heavily into the luxury bus that was blocking the middle of the road.

The explosion-proof glass on the side of the bus shattered on the spot, and Adam was embedded in the bus. His head lolled to the side, and he fainted on the spot.

The entire room fell silent.

Only the occasional sound of a few pieces of broken glass falling from the hole smashed into the bus could be heard.

Lin Ye shook his right hand with extreme disgust.

"Trying to get something for nothing without paying?" Lin Ye took out a tissue and wiped the back of his hand. "Do you really think I'm a free sparring partner?"

The tissues were accurately thrown into the roadside trash can.

The students from China standing at the school gate were stunned for a full ten seconds.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar of celebration erupted.

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"He slapped someone so hard they flew through the air? What kind of amazing junior is this?!"

"That was so satisfying! Let those foreigners show off on our turf!"

Several male students from the Physical Education Department got so excited that they threw all the mineral water bottles they were holding into the air.

Fatty Wang scrambled over, completely ignoring the scrapes on his arms, and grabbed Lin Ye's leg.

"Godfather!" Fatty Wang's voice cracked. "From today onwards, you're my brother! No, you're my father!"

Lin Ye pulled his leg out in disgust and pointed to the muddy water on the ground.

"Don't touch my pants with your dirty hands, dry cleaning is expensive."

Lin Ye turned his head, his gaze passing over the crowd and landing precisely on the teacher who was still sitting on the ground.

The teacher in charge was trembling. He had watched as his own genius student was slapped to the point of life or death without even getting a hair out of the other's head.

Is this guy even human?!

"Ten million." Lin Ye took out his phone, pulled up the payment code, and walked up to the teacher in charge. "Car repair fees, compensation for emotional distress, medical expenses. Now, immediately."

The teacher in charge didn't dare utter a single word of dissent.

He took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and entered the password.

The movements were swift and fluid, as if afraid that if they were even a second too slow, the slap would land on their face.

"Ding! 10,000,000.00 yuan has been deposited into your account."

Hearing the voice announcement on his phone, Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction.

"Why didn't you just make it quicker earlier?" Lin Ye put his phone back in his pocket, pointed to the bus, and said, "Make way, don't block everyone from entering the school gate."

The teacher in charge glared menacingly at the bodyguards beside him.

"Move the car!"

Several white bodyguards rushed to the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove the bus sheepishly onto the main road of the campus.

The Knight XVI armored vehicle has been restarted.

Xia Wanqiu sat in the passenger seat and watched Lin Ye get in, then couldn't help but shake her head.

"You're making money faster than robbing a bank."

"This is called legitimate compensation." Lin Ye stepped on the gas. "Is it wrong for workers to defend their legitimate rights?"

Armored vehicles followed the bus and slowly drove into Jiangcheng College of Arts and Sciences.

Inside the luxury bus ahead.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Several Western students placed the unconscious Adam on a chair.

The teacher in charge of the group wiped the cold sweat from his face with a towel, his face ashen.

"Teacher, are we just going to let this go like that?" a burly white student gritted his teeth. "That Chinese guy is too arrogant! He actually dared to extort us in public!"

The teacher in charge slammed the towel to the ground.

"Forget it? How could we forget it!" The teacher in charge of the group's face twisted in disbelief. "That Chinese guy didn't have any supernatural abilities at all! He was able to block Adam's lightning because he was wearing some kind of high-tech insulating equipment that China had just developed!"

Several students nearby nodded in agreement.

"That's right! His slap was also aided by the kinetic energy of his equipment!"

"Take off that suit, and he's a complete loser!"

The teacher in charge took a deep breath and pulled out a specially made encrypted communicator.

"Pass the word: the exchange group is to go directly to the school's 10,000-seat stadium!" the supervising teacher ordered. "Immediately connect to the public channel on the international dark web and activate the world's highest-definition live stream!"

He stared at the black armored vehicle outside the window, a flash of extreme resentment in his eyes.

"Since those Chinese love to show off, then we'll utterly crush their dignity in front of the whole world!"

"The official exchange match will begin at 2 PM in the 10,000-seat stadium."

The teacher leading the team clenched his fist.

"I'm going to beat that Chinese guy to his knees and beg for mercy in the ring, in front of a global audience!"
