Super War God in the City

Ling Fan's attitude and behavior caught everyone off guard, and they were unable to comprehend the situation immediately.

"Refuse... refused? Even rejected the face of the dean?" The surrounding students were dumbfounded on the spot.

Everyone was both puzzled and annoyed by Ling Fan; they couldn't understand what got into him. This was the dean for heaven's sake—did he really just confront the dean head-on?

Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu exchanged glances, equally dumbstruck by Ling Fan's actions.

"Sister Qiong, Ling Fan, he...." Siyu's mind was in a mess.

Su Qiong's mouth was slightly open, her bright eyes flickering. Her mind was equally in disarray. Shouldn't Ling Fan have taken the chance to back down? How come...

No one could understand Ling Fan's reasoning. The previously excited and agitated Qi He stood to the side with his mind in turmoil, while Wu Rao and the others were already stunned.

"Damn it, courting death, he's really courting death! I've never seen someone so intent on digging their own grave!" Wan Long couldn't help but mutter tremblingly.

When the newcomers from the Secular World, including Xiang Hao and the others, finally reacted, their faces turned fiercely red as if they were injected with chicken blood.

"Son of a bitch, really, if he doesn't court death, he won't die. He actually refused, and he did good by refusing!" Tao Yang and the other Secular World newcomers were ecstatic.

The dean, who had been confident, was also dumbfounded. He had already calculated in his mind that, with the faults committed by Ling Fan, by showing both grace and power, he wouldn't fear Ling Fan choosing otherwise.

"Kid, I didn't hear what you just said clearly. Could you repeat that for me?" The dean, regaining his senses, immediately said with a stern face.

By now, Qi He had also snapped back to reality, sweating profusely as he looked towards Ling Fan.

What in the world was this guy thinking, offending the dean like this when the dean was still giving him a chance?

Qi He was desperate and frustrated, unable to interject a single word; he could only silently pray in his heart that Ling Fan would stop being foolish.

At this moment, Ling Fan let out a cold snort, "The words I've said do not bear repeating a second time. If you didn't hear me clearly, then roll aside and don't interfere with my business!"

"Hiss—"

As soon as Ling Fan finished speaking, a chorus of gasps could be heard around them, and many almost popped their eyes out.

Those with weaker mental fortitude felt dizzy, almost fainting.

As for speaking to the dean in such a manner, this guy was absolutely the first in Huaxia, and guaranteed to be the last one too!

Qi He found it hard to breathe, feeling like he was going to have a heart attack. He hadn't had heart problems before, but he feared that might start after today!

"You brat, what the hell are you doing? That's the dean, for goodness' sake. Can't you be a little more sensible? This isn't Chao Liang or Liang Dang we're talking about!" Qi He's lips trembled, his heart spasming.

Fan Zhan and Jiang Shi exchanged looks, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. Their leader was too fierce, confronting the dean as if he were scolding his own grandson; it was freaking awesome!

The Secular World newcomers felt dry-mouthed, but after recovering, they quietly revelled, "Keep it up, you idiot, the more you court death the better; there's no way you won't die if you continue like this!"

Standing beside the dean, Xiang Luo's spine turned cold, his face pale. This guy really was a madman, daring to be insubordinate right in front of the dean?

"Kid, you're going too far. Do you think you can behave so recklessly in Zhongnan Academy? There's a limit to everything. I'm giving you one final chance!" the dean said grimly.

"Dean...." Xiang Luo couldn't help but speak out, his heart incredibly anxious.

"It's fine, I'm here, and I won't let him kill you!" the dean immediately reassured Xiang Luo.

"Heh, are you trying to stop me now?" Ling Fan scoffed.

The dean was also infuriated. This kid was truly stubborn. Opportunities had been given time and again, and he still didn't get it. It seemed that without a harsh lesson, he wouldn't realize his place.

"Young man, you shouldn't be too sharp-edged. You need to know when to advance and when to retreat. Are you really going to go down this dark path?" The dean spoke sternly.

"Hmph, don't come at me with that crap. When my people were humiliated, where were you to stand up and speak for justice?

When my brother was still lying on the ground between life and death, where were you to step in to stop it?

Now, you talk to me about advancement and retreat, pretending to be the good guy. Don't you find it laughable?" Ling Fan sneered.

Hearing this, the dean's face was expressionless. He turned his head to glance at Zuo Zhengqing, who was lying on the ground barely hanging on to life, and then to Fan Zhan and others.

He shook his head internally, thinking how pathetic these people were. He couldn't understand how someone as talented as Ling Fan ended up gathering such a motley crew.

He spoke with profound earnestness, "Kid, you'd best heed my advice. With your talent, you're destined to go much further. Those under you with their mediocre abilities will not be able to keep up with your pace.

"I admire your loyalty and sense of duty, but sooner or later, they will be left behind. Why make such a fuss over these people? It's not worth it!"

The dean's words deeply wounded Su Qiong, Fan Zhan, and the others' hearts.

All the actions Ling Fan had taken, standing up against the academy as an enemy, were for them. But the dean's words filled them with shame and they found it hard to show their faces.

At that moment, they felt deeply the divide between themselves and Ling Fan, like an insurmountable gap. Indeed, they were not worthy of Ling Fan's concern for them.

Especially since Ling Fan continuing the struggle against the academy to the bitter end would only lead to accumulating wounds, which was not a wise move.

Ling Fan had done so much for them and it was deeply moving, but they shouldn't let their tempers flare and keep pushing Ling Fan to the frontline.

The dean's words caused everyone to cool down.

"Boss, let's listen to the dean," Fan Zhan, having calmed down, began to persuade. "We've only suffered some injuries, let's stop here!"

"Yeah, Boss, those who deserved punishment have been punished. You've already avenged us. The dean is willing to let bygones be bygones, which is magnanimous enough. Let's just end it here!" Jiang Shi spoke up in persuasion.

Su Qiong pursed her lips and spoke too, "Ling Fan, don't be so stubborn anymore, listen to the dean. Nothing's really happened to us!"

Zhou Siyu fiddled with the hem of her clothes, her feelings complicated. They truly were trash, so much so that they didn't even deserve to stand alongside Ling Fan.

The dean's words struck like a bolt of lightning, thoroughly awakening them and making them feel a surge of inferiority.

Seeing the others trying to stop Ling Fan, the dean inwardly nodded. Although their abilities were trash, their brains were still okay, and hadn't gone bad.

Ling Fan, hearing their attempts to dissuade him, immediately turned his head to look at everyone with a stern face, then finally set his eyes on the dean!

He snorted disdainfully and said, "Cut the crap. Trash? Are my people to be humiliated by you?

"In my eyes, they are the true talents, and it's the people from Zhongnan Academy who are trash. Today I'm here to eradicate the vermin that have offended me. Do you have a problem with that?"

Moved beyond words by what they heard, Su Qiong, Fan Zhan, and the others had their eyes welling up with tears.

Following such a leader, they had no regrets in life!" Fan Zhan and Jiang Shi silently thought to themselves.

Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu both had faces filled with gratification. Ling Fan had never looked down on them—his burdens.

Even the onlookers began to envy Fan Zhan and the others for being able to follow such a genuinely passionate boss!

The face of the dean of the academy had already soured; Ling Fan was, in his eyes, ungrateful.

If he, the esteemed dean, continued to tolerate this any further, he would lose all his dignity!

"Arrogant brat, do you really think I'm just talking? Today, I'm here to stop you. Let's see what you can do!" the dean roared, his face ashen with anger.

Ling Fan's gaze sharpened, and in that instant, his Soul Force converged into an invisible sword. He burst out at Xiang Luo, "Die!"

As his word erupted like a clap of thunder, Xiang Luo, who had been secretly relieved to have the dean's protection, felt his head boom and lost consciousness and sensation!

"Thud!"

In the incredulous faces of the onlookers, Xiang Luo, bleeding from every orifice, slumped to the ground!

"Hiss~"

"Gasp~"

"Snap~"

Instantly a chorus of sharp intakes of breath was heard all around, and some, who were of weaker constitution, simply collapsed to the ground!

Startled, the dean's mouth fell open.

The entire place was dumbstruck, everyone trembling in their souls!

PS: Please forgive me, everyone. My new rental will be sorted out in two or three more days. Moving homes turned out to be quite bothersome. It has taken nearly ten days with all the bits and pieces! This doesn't include the previous house-hunting chaos. Apart from that, there have been other matters keeping me frenetically busy, but I'm about to see the light at the end of the tunnel~~~
