Chapter 63

Lin Beichen had also started to feel a bit sore in his back and waist, so he stopped.

"F*ck, you scum, you only become obedient after I beat you up."

Lin Beichen, having vented his anger, kicked a few more times before saying, "Go, lead the way."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Wu Xiaofang was already terrified, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, with a bruised nose and swollen face. He slowly got up, extremely curious, and asked, "Aren't you going to ask what's going on?"

"Why should I ask? We'll know when we get there."

Lin Beichen said matter-of-factly.

Wu Xiaofang was stunned, on the verge of tears.

Why the f*ck did you beat me up just now?

I was going to take you there from the beginning.

You were clearly just looking for an excuse to beat me up, right?

...

Half an hour later.

Sixty miles from the training camp, by a rather beautiful moon-shaped small lake.

Lin Beichen saw Tao Wancheng leisurely fishing by the lake.

More than thirty geniuses from various academies who followed Tao Wancheng had set up several alert circles around the sandy beach, surrounding the area in a well-trained manner. It was evident that in just nine days, they had formed a tight and orderly organizational structure, like a small gang.

Whoosh!

The fishing rod was suddenly cast.

"Hehe, the fish has taken the bait."

Tao Wancheng reeled in a large white fish, slowly retrieved the hook, and turned to look at Lin Beichen, sneering, "Hehe, Lin Beichen, I didn't expect you, this scum, to actually be a chivalrous man and dare to come see me."

"Stop f*cking posing and showing off."

Lin Beichen said impatiently, "Where's Yue Hongxiang?"

Tao Wancheng's face darkened, put down the fishing rod, and clapped his hands.

Clap, clap.

In the distance, a pile of grass was moved aside.

A face buried in the sand, with only the head exposed, appeared behind the grass pile.

Who else could it be but Yue Hongxiang?

The classical beauty with a scholarly air had disheveled hair, and her mouth was gagged, unable to move.

Four female students, each holding a long sword, stood guard beside Yue Hongxiang.

Lin Beichen was stunned for a moment, then instantly furious.

"You f*cking animals."

He rushed toward Yue Hongxiang.

"You'd better not move."

Tao Wancheng smiled coldly, "If you don't want her to get hurt."

Lin Beichen stopped, and said coldly, "The preliminary rules state that intentionally causing serious injury or killing a classmate is not allowed. I don't believe you would dare do anything to her."

Tao Wancheng smiled shamelessly, "Just no serious injury, right? Minor injuries are allowed. Besides, her stone badge is now in our hands. I just need to say a word, and the stone badge will be crushed, and she will be eliminated. If you want to cause Yue Hongxiang to be eliminated due to your mistake, then go ahead and try."

Lin Beichen fell silent.

He believed that Yue Hongxiang would not be in mortal danger.

Because this was the academy's preliminary, not a life-or-death battle.

Killing was illegal.

Very serious.

Tao Wancheng wasn't that stupid.

But he would definitely dare to have someone crush the stone badge.

If Yue Hongxiang were eliminated as a result...

It would indeed be a bit unfair to the classical beauty.

These days, he had been frantically digging for the Star Badge, often neglecting to eat or hunt during the day. Yue Hongxiang had been picking wild vegetables and fruits to fill his stomach, and occasionally even providing some grilled meat. Although there was a previous favor, Lin Beichen still felt indebted to her, so he had made a plan to help Yue Hongxiang advance to the main competition.

If he acted impulsively now and caused Yue Hongxiang to be eliminated, it would all be for nothing.

"What do you want?"

Lin Beichen asked.

Tao Wancheng smiled contentedly, "That's more like it. Cooperate, and I'm not targeting you... To be honest, you're such a waste, you don't even deserve to be targeted by me, but since you're Lin Chen's boyfriend, I have to use you to bring Lin Chen here."

Lin Beichen suddenly understood, "You want to use me to deal with Lin Chen?"

Tao Wancheng said, "Of course."

"Based on you?"

Lin Beichen was speechless.

Although he hadn't fought Lin Chen, in recent days, as his mental strength improved, he had developed a kind of sixth sense, which allowed him to perceive danger more clearly. This intuition told him that Lin Chen's danger level was ten times that of Tao Wancheng.

Even if these thirty students combined, they might not be a match for Lin Chen.

"Yes, just me alone, of course, I'm not a match for Lin Chen. She's such a proud princess," Tao Wancheng's eyes flashed with a resentful hatred, "But she's too proud, looking down on everyone, and naturally, she will offend everyone. There are many people who want to deal with her. Think about it, if the top genius of Yunmeng City, the most outstanding in the city, is eliminated in the preliminary of the Genius Battle, what kind of scene would that be?"

Lin Beichen thought about it, and it did seem quite shocking.

"But she and I are just playing around. Even if you catch me, she might not come."

Lin Beichen countered.

"Hehe, you'd better pray she comes."

Tao Wancheng said viciously.

"Bring him, tie him up, and bury him."

A student immediately rushed over with a soft rope.

"Wait." Lin Beichen shouted loudly, "Tie me up, but don't bury me. My elemental attribute is water, and earth overcomes me."

Tao Wancheng: "..."

"Your attribute is water, right?" He sneered, "Fine, tie him up and throw him in the water."

A while later.

Plop.

Lin Beichen was tied up and thrown into the water.

His 'Virtue Sword' was taken off and handed to Wu Xiaofang.

"Take this to Lin Chen. If you don't want Lin Beichen to be eliminated, come directly to the lakeside to find us." Tao Wancheng instructed.

Wu Xiaofang took the sword and went to find Lin Chen.

The entire plan was meticulously arranged, and Lin Chen's movements today had already been under surveillance by Tao Wancheng and his group.

"She won't come."

Lin Beichen, floating in the water, shouted loudly, "She's just playing around. Haven't you noticed that she hasn't been looking for me much these past few days?"

"That's not your concern. If she doesn't come, you should worry about yourself."

Tao Wancheng sat on a rock and continued fishing.

Lin Beichen shouted again, "I've already surrendered. How about this, let Yue Hongxiang go first. You're the top genius of the National Royal Junior Academy, so bullying a female student is beneath you. It tarnishes your reputation as a top genius."

Tao Wancheng thought about it and agreed.

So he didn't continue to humiliate Yue Hongxiang.

"Dig her out and guard her well."

Soon, the classical beauty was dug out like a carrot, tied up, and guarded in the woods by the beach. She wouldn't be released for the time being to avoid any leaks.

Lin Beichen floated in the water.

His wrist moved slightly underwater, and the power of the [Formless Sword Bone] burst forth, instantly breaking the soft cowhide rope around his wrists.

However, he still pretended to be tied up, with his hands behind his back, floating in the water.

If he wanted to, he could break the cowhide rope in an instant.

Good.

Now I can relax.

I'll play along and see what Tao Wancheng is up to.

He observed the situation.

About half an hour later, Wu Xiaofang returned.

The non-famous舔dog (licking dog) was bruised and swollen, looking as if he had been trampled by an elephant, limping and groaning with each step as he returned.

Behind him followed the proud little phoenix, Lin Chen.
