After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Just as Lin Lei relaxed, thinking he had won, he suddenly realized that the scene he had imagined—Zhou Yan losing his fighting ability due to being pierced by his belly sword and lying on the ground waiting to die—did not happen.

Zhou Yan, who was leaping into the air, remained indifferent, seemingly unaffected by his trump card.

Even a flash of lightning appeared on Zhou Yan's hand.

Zhen is the only direct attack skill among Zhou Yan's awakened bloodline abilities. This skill has a high potential because its attack power can be increased based on the enemy's hostility towards Bai Ze and the extent of Bai Ze's injuries.

Lin Lei intended to kill Zhou Yan; his hostility was obvious. And the sword in his abdomen did indeed pierce Zhou Yan's chest, inflicting maximum damage at that moment.

At this moment, the hostility and the extent of Zhou Yan's injuries reached their peak.

Then, an unprecedented thunderbolt shot out from Zhou Yan's hand, and a bright white electric dragon rushed into Lin Lei's mouth, from which he had just spat out the belly sword.

Lin Lei is born with a natural ability to control lightning. Basically, the more skills he uses, the higher his resistance to those types of skills. For example, Little Yama is immune to all Yin-attribute spells, and Suzaku is immune to all Fire-attribute spells.

Lin Lei wasn't that exaggerated, but Zhou Yan's shockwave wouldn't normally cause much damage to Lin Lei's dragon scales. However, Zhou Yan was hitting the reverse scale with his shockwave at this moment.

The lightning bolt traveled along Lin Lei's mouth into his oral cavity and throat, striking Zhou Yan's Achilles' heel, a point determined by both luck and probability.

Lin Lei's eyes widened.

The next moment, Lin Lei was completely enveloped in smoke.

The next moment, the thunder disappeared, the thick clouds dispersed, and the sun shone down again.

At this moment, the square kilometer of ground has been riddled with dense meteorite craters by the intense lightning strikes, and the craters are filled with crystals formed by the high temperature.

Zhou Yan stood in the center of these lenses. Sunlight shone on the boy's face, casting a shadow over half of his expressionless face, giving him an air of mystery.

However, compared to the shadow on Zhou Yan's face, more students around him focused their attention on Zhou Yan's chest.

There was a hole about three centimeters in Zhou Yan's chest. The hole appeared in his chest and went all the way down his back. Anyone opposite Zhou Yan could see the beating heart inside the hole.

The surrounding younger students all gasped.

Wang Yang, whose "shut up" status had failed, stood up and shouted.

"I knew Zhou Yan, you're a good-for-nothing!"

Wang Yang looked at Lin Lei, who had appeared beside Bai Rusu and seemed to be unharmed.

All the lower-grade students hadn't seen what happened inside Lin Lei's lightning storm. After the lightning storm dissipated, they compared Lin Lei's and Zhou Yan's conditions and all felt that, given Zhou Yan's current injuries, Lin Lei must have almost killed him. Bai Rusu, who was outside, saw this and pulled Lin Lei out, sparing Zhou Yan's life.

Fang Xu and the others were a little annoyed. Why didn't Lin Lei act faster? Couldn't he have just killed Zhou Yan while Bai Rusu was pulling people away?

But it doesn't matter anymore, since Zhou Yan lost anyway, and this traitor is already dead in the school.

Wang Yang shared the same idea, and for this reason, the man who had almost been castrated by Zhou Yan shouted excitedly to Lin Lei.

"Senior Lin, you're amazing! You really helped us get revenge!"

Linley, in his mythical form, gripped the ground tightly with his four claws, creating cracks in the surface.

Fang Xu on the other side immediately took out a suona and shouted.

"Classmates, Senior Lin has won!"

Let us cheer!

Fang Xu started playing "Today is a Good Day" on the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument). Several people who knew Fang Xu well pulled out a speaker and started playing background music in sync with him.

A large number of students cheerfully took out their phones, and cameras began filming Zhou Yan.

Some people were pointing fingers at Zhou Yan. Although there was an unexpected incident in this competition, and although Zhou Yan was unexpectedly strong, he was ultimately defeated by a true powerhouse.

Therefore, the rules proposed by this useless person must be abolished.

Everyone is free now.

"enough!"

Bai Rusu, her face darkened, shouted and simultaneously cast an illusion spell, directly silencing the cheers of the students in the surrounding audience.

The students, realizing that no matter how much they tried to make a sound, they couldn't get a peep out, all turned to look at Bai Rusu.

Bai Rusu took a deep breath and said with a hint of reluctance.

"The victor is Zhou Yan."

All the students were stunned.

Lin Lei, who was next to Bai Rusu, lowered his head and kept making low noises, but he didn't say anything. He just turned his head and went back to the area of ​​his senior classmates.

As he walked, several fragments of the jade pendant fell from Lin Lei's body, making a clattering sound as they hit the ground.

This is a protective jade, a secret treasure that Lin Lei obtained from the Kunlun Immortal Palace. It can take the place of its master's death once. Just now, Zhou Yan's shock directly pierced through Lin Lei's Achilles' heel, but the protective jade blocked this fatal injury.

Then Bai Rusu pulled Lin Lei away from Zhou Yan.

If it hadn't been pulled out this time, even if the protective jade had blocked the damage, the rest of the lightning would have provoked Lin Lei's wrath and left this Ya Zi paralyzed and waiting to die.

After speaking, Bai Rusu canceled the illusion of silence. Fang Xu, who found that he could speak again, stepped forward and said, his face flushed.

"I don't agree!"

Fang Xu pointed at Lin Lei, who was leaving with his head drooping.

"Senior Lin Lei clearly doesn't have any injuries."

Fang Xu then pointed to Zhou Yan, whose chest had a large hole through which one could see the scenery behind him.

"This piece of trash is about to die!"

Zhou Yan snorted and shouted angrily at Fang Xu.

"You're the one who's going to die, your whole family is going to die."

Zhou Yan spoke with a strong voice, indicating that he was not seriously injured.

Fang Xu ignored Zhou Yan and continued shouting at Bai Rusu.

"Teacher, this is cheating! You're favoring Zhou Yan!"

Wang Yang also stepped forward, and the man shouted hysterically.

"Teacher, we all watched the match. Zhou Yan lost, and it didn't matter who came! You can't talk nonsense like that!"

Wang Yang gave a look to the people behind him, who were all part of his gang, and they shouted in unison.

"The teacher is cheating!"

"I don't agree!"

"Zhou Yan didn't win at all!"

"One more time!"

The others, who had spent a lot of money betting on Lin Lei to win, couldn't help but shout when they saw Wang Yang's group making a big show of it.

"Yes, yes, let's do it again!"

"Senior Lin Lei, don't go! We don't admit you lost! Fight Zhou Yan one more time!"

"Referee fraud!"

"Teacher Bai, I misjudged you!"

The other students looked at each other and consciously moved aside to make way for the students who were shouting for another fight. Some of them were smart, and some hadn't spent a lot of money on outside betting; they were all able to maintain a good mindset and avoid conflict with Zhou Yan.

"Shut up!"

Leng Qing, who had been watching the show, suddenly spoke up, and everyone else shut their mouths.

The arena fell silent for a moment.

Leng Qing said in a cold voice.

"Junior Zhou won, without a doubt, we all acknowledge it."

The other top students in the senior grades sighed one after another. Although they looked resentful, they all nodded, indicating that they agreed with Leng Qing's statement.

They could see clearly what was happening in the lightning storm, and therefore knew that Zhou Yan had almost killed Lin Lei.

Despite Zhou Yan's apparent serious injuries, Lin Lei is practically a dead man in reality.

Leng Qing looked at Zhou Yan, who slowly turned his head. At this moment, the blood flowing from Zhou Yan's wound had stained half of his clothes red, making him look extremely gruesome.

"You're fine."

Leng Qing narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with admiration, then turned and left the competition venue. The other top students from the senior grades each gave Zhou Yan a complicated look before following Leng Qing away.

Because his clothes were gone, Lin Lei, who could only continue to maintain his mythical form, drooped his head and followed behind his classmate, his walking posture somewhat awkward.

Zhou Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

With his ability to see five seconds into the future and his omniscient powers, Zhou Yan knew what Lin Lei was planning to do five seconds before the sword in his belly appeared.

Any special move is most powerful the first time it is used.

However, Zhou Yan's ability to see Lin Lei's trump card reduced its threat level significantly. If Zhou Yan wanted to, he could have easily turned to the side while Lin Lei was opening his mouth, dodging the attack from the sword in Lin Lei's abdomen, and also delivered a shock that almost killed Lin Lei.

But Zhou Yan did not. He simply controlled his internal organs, forcibly creating a vacuum in his chest, allowing Lin Lei's sword to pierce through his abdomen, resulting in an injury that looked extremely terrifying but was not actually a serious one.

This wasn't a cover-up or a show-off tactic; rather, it was because Zhou Yan had gathered information on all the top students, including their win rates, after seeing Leng Qing's elite team before the competition.

Other top students were fine. After comparing his win rate, Zhou Yan found that no matter which top student he faced, he had a minimum win rate of 40%. With the "All-Encompassing" buff, his win rate was guaranteed to be above 50%. With the addition of "Strong Luck," his win rate could be improved even further.

Aside from Leng Qing, this Dragon Prince, with 72% awakening level, possesses extremely formidable combat power, far surpassing the other students.

The probability of winning against it, given that everything is illusory, is only 1%.

Zhou Yan then tried adding "All is Allowed" and "Strong Luck," which significantly improved his win rate to 1.2%.

Hmm... 1.2%...

Bai Ze doesn't engage in battles without a clear objective.

So you can fight anyone else, but you absolutely cannot fight Leng Qing; if you do, you'll lose.

Therefore, it's best to avoid this senior student during this period.

So Zhou Yan deliberately inflicted a seemingly exaggerated injury during the battle, and made sure everyone saw it.

That way, if Leng Qing wants to uphold the dignity of a top student and challenges Zhou Yan to a duel in the future, Zhou Yan can righteously and firmly say no.

"When I fought Lin Lei, my injuries hadn't healed yet. Is Senior Sister trying to take advantage of me while I'm still injured?"

"Senior, is your magnanimity limited to bullying an injured person?"

Chapter Twelve: Penglai in the North Sea

Once the older students left, the younger students who had watched the show also gradually dispersed.

Zhou Yan stood still and didn't move.

Lin Anru, who hadn't walked with the older students, silently approached Zhou Yan.

"You surprised me."

Lin'an's expression was complicated.

"Why did you become so powerful so quickly?"

He was someone who was evenly matched with me before, but in less than a month, how did he suddenly become so much stronger?

"You really encountered Di Ting in the abyss of the underworld?"

Bai Rusu approached Zhou Yan from another direction and stopped in front of him. Lin Anru looked at Bai Rusu curiously.

Listen attentively?

What the heck?

What does this have to do with Zhou Yan's rapid improvement?

Bai Rusu ignored Lin Anru's curious gaze and stared at the penetrating wound on Zhou Yan's chest.

"Does it hurt?"

Bai Rusu asked.

Zhou Yan gave a wry smile.

"Did you think I was just standing there pretending to be cool?"

When Zhou Yan was designing this plan, he didn't think anything of it. But in reality, if a big hole were cut in his chest, even without any internal organ damage, just a few muscle tugs would cause Zhou Yan pain so intense that he couldn't think straight.
