Heroes Return

However, Miyamoto Spicy Strips was not discouraged. He simply stood up, along with more than a dozen red samurai swords. As all the red samurai swords left the ground, a red light emanated from Miyamoto Spicy Strips' eyes.

"Looks like you haven't neglected your breathing exercises." Seeing this, Lin Jie smiled. "But what move are you planning to use next?"

"Thirteen Spicy Strips, Flash!" Before Lin Jie could speak, Miyamoto Spicy Strips' knife had already swung down. Instantly, thirteen beams of light simultaneously slashed towards Lin Jie. What was even more terrifying was that these thirteen strikes were almost all identical.

"Not bad!" Lin Jie's figure, which had disappeared from the spot, reappeared not far away: "In that case, I'll respond with a move to you later."

"Huh?" Hearing his words, Miyamoto Spicy Strips didn't think much of it and simply slashed towards Lin Jie again. In that instant, a Green Dragon Crescent Blade appeared in Lin Jie's hand. He threw it out instantly, and simultaneously, the Longquan Ancient Sword appeared in his hand again, which he also threw, followed by the Wentian Sword, then the Fire Spirit Sword. Then came a figure crackling with lightning, a kitchen knife, a greatsword, a seemingly ordinary nunchaku, a Longquan sword, a European-style lance, a knight's sword, a bunch of alien energy swords, and a futuristic-looking cube…

At the same time as Miyamoto Latiao, Lin Jie actually threw out dozens of weapons in one go... Yes, he threw them. Not only did these weapons destroy all the sword energy, but some of the blunt weapons also accurately hit Miyamoto Latiao's face, and the rest directly pinned Miyamoto Latiao to the ground.

"Wait, what's with this knife? Why is it emitting cold air?" Lying on the ground, feeling the icy sensation emanating from his body, Miyamoto Spicy Strips couldn't help but ask.

"I think it's called something like Snow Drinking Blade," Lin Jie said with a smile. "Mine is called Dozens of Consecutive Flashes!"

"As expected of a teacher! So impressive!"

"He just threw a time-saving weapon at you really fast! This is obviously the simplest and most brutal way to attack!! By the way, teacher, where did you get so many exquisite weapons?!" Tifa was shocked as she looked at the weapons in Lin Jie's hand: "Many of them are antiques, right? Speaking of which, isn't that the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue? So it's been in your possession since it went missing? Shouldn't it have been returned to the museum?"

"They're all fakes, fakes!" Hearing Tifa's words, Lin Jie smiled sheepishly and then quickly began to pack up his weapons.

"Who would believe this is a fake?!" Despite saying this, Tifa still prepared to attack. Just then, Lin Jie's telekinesis activated once more. This time, Felicia didn't use telekinesis to control or restrict Lin Jie; instead, she used it to control the sand and began using it to entangle Lin Jie's movements.

Feeling his body being entangled in sand, Lin Jie laughed instead: "You've improved in terms of control! I remember I couldn't do this before I left."

"Hehehe, I've been trying really hard to love you all this time." Felicia smiled shyly after hearing Lin Jie's words.

At that very moment, Tifa's barrage of fire directly engulfed Lin Jie. With a loud explosion, Lin Jie leaped up, carrying the incapacitated Miyamoto.

"Hey, are you planning to attack your own people too?"

"Don't worry, it's just poison gas!" Tifa gave Lin Jie a sweet smile. "A teacher is still a teacher! She never forgets to protect people! She's clearly a good person, so why does she have to fight the whole world?"

"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters." Lin Jie didn't say much more and grabbed Tifa directly from the sky.

"This is impossible!"

"You think I can't change direction in mid-air? Who told you that?!" Lin Jie said helplessly to Tifa. "Also, sometimes the enemies Nano faces are much faster than you think! Especially in flight. So be sure to prepare melee weapons!"

"Of course I was prepared, teacher!" Tifa said, her body crackling with electricity. Almost simultaneously, Lin Jie released his grip. After throwing the spicy snack away, Lin Jie stared at Tifa in shock. "Wait! That's Xiao Zhan's 'impotence current'! Holy crap! Where did you get such a vicious thing, little girl?"

“A guy named Xiao Zhan gave it to me, saying that using it on you unexpectedly might be very effective.” Tifa thought for a moment and said, “But it seems you are indeed a little afraid of this…”

"That Xiao Zhan! Looks like I need to go a little harder when I beat him up!"

Before Lin Jie could say anything, another wine bottle had already fallen onto the sand.

"Teacher! I'm going to beat you today!!!!" Justin, who had downed a bottle of beer in one gulp, said earnestly to Lin Jie, while simultaneously throwing a punch at Lin Jie from a distance. This punch instantly created a vacuum zone.

"Not bad. That's more like it." Lin Jie dodged the punch and said to Justin.

At that moment, Akarin reappeared behind Lin Jie, and at the same time, a stick-like weapon with a pixelated image stabbed towards Lin Jie's kidney.

"I should have realized that since Xiao Zhan gave you the impotence current, he would probably give you this too..." Lin Jie said helplessly, feeling the terrifying vibrations that were about to hit his body.

Chapter Fourteen

Although Akarin's cleaning stick was very powerful, it ultimately failed to hit Lin Jie. Almost simultaneously, Lin Jie had vanished from his spot.

"Scan for enemy positions!" Tifa activated the scanning device in the sky. However, when he saw the scan results on the screen, he was surprised to find Zero standing behind him, seemingly leering at him...

"Eat my Clothes-Rending Slash!" With Lin Jie's voice, a cold light flashed from behind Tifa. The next second, Lin Jie had already landed. His gaze was now fixed on Justin charging towards him from the ground. As for Tifa? Her armor had been completely shattered the moment Lin Jie landed. And her clothes? Sorry, they were still there, so there were no perks in this fight.

Seeing Justin and the others running towards him, Lin Jie didn't react. He simply watched calmly as Justin charged towards him at high speed, then clenched his fist and punched Lin Jie. From beginning to end, facing this powerful attack, Lin Jie didn't even move.

Then Justin stepped on a watermelon and tripped over it. He tumbled and rolled right up to Lin Jie's feet. The scene was incredibly awkward.

"Wouldn't you call this a drunken scam?" Looking at Justin lying on the ground, Lin Jie said helplessly, "Next time, don't run so fast if you're drunk."

After saying that, he stomped down and stepped directly on Justin's face.

"Sigh... I finally have the courage, but my combat experience is still far from enough." As he spoke, Sieg's figure reappeared on Lin Jie's body. At this moment, Sieg had also changed a lot. His blindfold had been removed, and a magic circle appeared in Sieg's eyes.

In that instant, everything around him slowed down. Almost simultaneously, the bandages on Sieg's wrist were removed, and as magical runes spread throughout his body, powerful demonic energy began to emanate from him. As the demonic energy spread, a confident expression finally appeared on Sieg's face.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Harry's expression finally changed. As the magic incantation ended, a massive magic circle instantly covered the entire area. In the blink of an eye, green vines began to grow wildly throughout the desert region where Lin Jie was located. Numerous thorny vines began to spread rapidly in all directions.

In the sky, a massive green flame had already coiled around Lin Jie's back.

"A large-scale vine magic and transformation? It seems you've mastered controlling your power quite well. At least you're no longer acting like a zombie." Looking at Sieg, Lin Jie couldn't help but smile. "But you seem to have forgotten something."

"Hmph, there will always be some things going on among the people. Today, I will rely on my Demon King power to uphold the duties of a hero." After hearing Lin Jie's words, Sieg simply said "human" and then green flames ignited on the blood-red longsword in his hand. As the green flames burned, the heat of the surrounding desert began to rise wildly, and the surrounding sand even began to show faint signs of melting.

At that very moment, Harry's magical vines were completely unaffected. Countless vines began to dance in front of Lin Jie, attempting to wrap around him. However, Lin Jie dodged almost all of these entanglements, though in doing so, the vines spread throughout the entire area.

Seeing the entire area spreading, Lin Jie simply jumped into the sky. However, at the very moment Lin Jie leaped up, Zig finally moved, leaving an afterimage in place, but his true body had already arrived beside Lin Jie. A powerful force erupted at this moment, and he slashed directly at Lin Jie with his sword.

With the added power of the flames, this strike cleaved through the sand for several kilometers in front of him. Almost simultaneously, Lin Jie reacted, grabbing the wrist of the opponent who was about to deliver the blow. The originally powerful strike stopped abruptly in mid-air the moment Lin Jie seized his wrist. The immense force prevented Zieg's strike from landing.

Of course, the battle was not over yet. Zig released the hilt of his sword with his other hand and grabbed at Lin Jie. Green flames erupted at that moment.

However, within this green flame, not only Lin Jie, but even Zero's cloak remained undamaged!

"This! How is this possible?!" Sieg was shocked by what he saw. After all, the residual heat of the flames had already gradually melted the surrounding sand, but Zero's clothes were completely unharmed. In fact, through Sieg's eyes, he could tell that Lin Jie's clothes were just a set of high-end nanomaterial clothing. Although it had considerable bulletproof properties, it was by no means magical.

In fact, Lin Jie still didn't know his location, and the clothes Tian Xiaoshu gave him were bulletproof. After all, in all the battles he had experienced, this suit had almost never been damaged. Even if it had been damaged, it would have been at the level of a god.

In fact, the moment Zero put on this outfit again, the Zhenwu Hundred Battles Power he possessed was no longer protecting his physical body, but rather the outfit itself. After all, Lin Jie had once told Tian Xiaoshu that he would cherish the clothes she had made for him this time.

Of course, Sieg couldn't see these things; what he saw at this moment was an invisible aura. This aura constantly surrounded Lin Jie, and the original heat and flames couldn't penetrate it to attack Lin Jie's body. The same applied to his clothes.

"This is……"

“That’s right. What you’re seeing is the legendary aura of a king!” Lin Jie seemed to have noticed Zig’s confusion as well.

"Huh? Teacher, you actually possess that kind of aura?" Zig was taken aback upon hearing Lin Jie's words.

"You've got a limit to your chuunibyou! This isn't a novel, there's no such thing as some kind of domineering aura!" Lin Jie said helplessly. "If I really had that kind of aura, all the world's experts would be my underlings by now, right? Who would dare to stop me from doing what I'm doing?"

"kindness?"

"Speaking of which, it seems you haven't thought of what you forgot?" Seeing Zig's expression of having been tricked, Lin Jie said helplessly, "Also, in future battles, never easily believe anything the enemy wants you to know in detail. Even if you have to believe it, you must judge it carefully. If you really can't judge it, then make sure the other party is harmless before seeking verification."

"Teacher, under what circumstances can we consider the other party to be harmless?"

"Idiot, just knock him down, then he'll be harmless, won't he?" Lin Jie calmly replied to Zieg's question. At that moment, Lin Jie unleashed a punch that shattered the demonic flames surrounding Zieg. Unfortunately, Lin Jie's fist couldn't continue its attack, as his body was now entangled by vines growing from the ground, and these vines seemed to be tightening their grip.

Faced with this situation, Zieg decisively seized the opportunity. He immediately tried to pull his hand, the one holding the knife, out of Lin Jie's grasp, only to discover, to his dismay, that he couldn't free it at all. No matter how Zieg tried, he couldn't get his hand out, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. Just then, Lin Jie and Zieg were both entangled in the vines and fell to the ground, disappearing into countless thick, seemingly living vines the moment they landed.

"Haven't you remembered what you forgot?" Lin Jie's voice drifted out faintly from among the vines: "Never mind, let me remind you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud crash echoed through the pile of vines, which then visibly bulged. With a large number of vines shattering, Zieg was sent flying by a single punch from Lin Jie.

"When your demonic power awakened, you were at 100% of its full potential, and I still managed to utterly crush you. Now you can't even unleash 100% of your power. How could you possibly defeat me head-on?" Lin Jie's voice echoed across the sand. "I took dozens of photos of you getting completely humiliated after your awakening!"

Hearing Lin Jie's words, Zig fell towards the distant sand dune, and after burying himself in the sand, he finally stopped moving. At the same time, vines began to cut through the ground.

Harry, who was standing inside the magic circle, was also shocked as he sensed the figures around him. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a face emerge from the sea of ​​vines opposite him. That's right, it was Lin Jie's Lian, who was looking at Harry with a lewd expression.

"Holy crap!" Harry exclaimed as he watched this scene unfold, immediately beginning to chant a spell. However, the instant he opened his mouth, Lin Jie appeared in front of him and punched him in the stomach.

"Hey! If you're going to prepare this kind of magic, at least hide your true form properly! Isn't it dangerous if it's so easy to spot? Anyone who's played games knows how to take down squishy targets in a team fight, right?" Looking at Harry, who was completely unconvinced, Lin Jie said in a lecturing tone, "Also, next time prepare something like the Miracle Master's End-of-Day spell that can be used immediately. You know how deadly casting time is in battle? Nobody's going to be a gentleman and wait for you to finish your spell before attacking you."

"I understand... teacher." After replying, Harry lay down on the ground, and the magic circle and vines were immediately dispelled.

Immediately afterward, Lin Jie turned around and slapped Akarin on the head as he prepared to launch a sneak attack from behind: "You're out! I've got you. Also, don't use the same trick on the same person three times; it's best to use it only once."

"I understand, teacher." Akarin nodded with a smile as Lin Jie patted his head. "I've been defeated now."

Seeing Akarin's actions, Lin Jie's gaze immediately fell on Felicia, who was not far away.

"I...I...I've been defeated too." Upon hearing Lin Jie's words, Felicia immediately covered her head and collapsed to the ground: "I've been knocked down."

Chapter 15

Looking at the students lying on the ground, Lin Jie stopped and said, "As expected, you still have a long way to go."

"Is the teacher just too strong?" Akarin said to Lin Jie with a smile. Just then, the other students staggered over and eventually gathered around Lin Jie.

"Teacher, can't you use a different attack method? Why do you always target my anus?!" Ye Daoshen couldn't help but say to Lin Jie while covering his butt.

"Are you happy? I heard you have some ambiguous relationships with quite a few girls? Let me warn you, the last guy like that was killed, I heard he was shot more than a dozen times. So, you'd better be careful. I'm being so strict with you just so you can better protect yourself," Lin Jie said to Ye Daoshen with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll handle things properly! At worst, we can just be friends with benefits from now on," Ye Daoshen said with a smile. "That way, all the girls get to enjoy themselves, and the relationship is clearly defined."

“The last one who did that got chopped up by a spawning dog after the battle.” Lin Jie suddenly said, “Everyone thought he was fine, but no one expected that he had actually been killed by that kobold before the battle even ended. When I arrived, he was already standing there as a soul. As soon as the battle ended and the area that maintained his soul disappeared, he vanished into thin air.”

"Holy crap! That's terrifying?" Upon hearing Lin Jie's words, Ye Daoshen felt a chill run down his spine.

"Actually, I was quite surprised at the time. I never imagined that a god could do something like that. He actually allowed a guy whose soul had already been slain and was about to enter the underworld to live on in the form of a normal person. Of course, he even fooled me. Unfortunately, once that god died, his soul returned to the netherworld." Lin Jie thought for a moment and replied.

"Teacher! Are you talking about the time when the gods descended? I heard that many heroes sacrificed themselves in that battle." Sieg suddenly spoke up upon hearing his words.

"Yes, back then, many heroes, like him, disappeared after defeating the gods," Lin Jie said with a smile. "Simply put, these people actually disappeared because of me. They could have continued to live as humans."

“Teacher…this isn’t your fault…actually…they died in battle a long time ago, didn’t they?” Felicia couldn’t help but say after hearing Lin Jie’s words.

“Of course I know, so I don’t regret it at all.” Hearing Felicia’s words, Lin Jie suddenly laughed: “By the way, you still don’t understand why I’m telling you all this?”

"Teacher, didn't you want to tell us that heroes should have a spirit of sacrifice?" Miyamoto Spicy Strips couldn't help but ask.

However, Lin Jie shook his head.

“I understand! The teacher wants to remind us that as heroes, we sometimes have to make difficult choices in order to uphold justice.” After thinking for a while, Justin suddenly replied after hearing his words.

"Idiots! Who's talking to you about heroism? I'm telling you this to remind you. Heroism is a dangerous profession! Without strength, you're likely to die! If you don't want to die prematurely in battle, then become as strong as possible! The reason those people died was actually only one: their strength wasn't enough." Lin Jie smiled and said to them, "So, to avoid following in their footsteps, you must become strong. Strong enough to handle anything."

"Pfft!" Hearing Lin Jie's words, Ye Daoshen finally couldn't hold back: "Teacher, is this Spartan thinking? Your teaching is toxic!!"

"Maybe." Hearing his words, Lin Jie didn't reply. At this moment, his gaze fell on a spot not far away: "Come out, I can see you even if you're hiding behind the sand dune."

As Lin Jie finished speaking, a beautiful figure emerged from behind the sand pile.

“Principal…” Justin couldn’t help but say upon seeing the girl’s identity.

"The transport plane that's here to pick you up has arrived. Get on the plane and leave this place quickly." Ignoring Justin's words, Angela expressionlessly instructed the students present.

"Headmaster, has the Magic Society really decided to use its sealed weapon? They didn't even use it when the gods descended, so why are they targeting the teachers..." Harry couldn't help but ask upon hearing his words.

"Go back." Angela's face remained expressionless. "You should use your brain to analyze this problem yourself."

"..." Hearing his words, Harry wanted to say something, but Tifa pulled him away. Under Angela's watchful gaze, the students walked one after another toward the plane behind the sand dunes.

Only after the students left did Angela finally breathe a sigh of relief: "I can't believe these guys came here without permission. I'll have to give them a good dressing down when we get back, since they haven't graduated yet anyway."
