Chapter 71

Shen Fei's expression was extremely grim.

At the moment of losing to Lin Beichen, he felt as if he had been dragged into a toilet and had his head forcibly submerged in water for several dozen pounds. That feeling of anger and humiliation was magnified ten thousand times, fiercely impacting his psychological limits. If he had the power to destroy the world, it might have already vanished hundreds of times.

He took a deep breath.

Shen Fei forced himself to calm down.

But the next moment, when he looked up and saw Lin Beichen's grinning, disdainful face, his mindset was about to collapse again.

Calm down!

You must stay calm!

Shen Fei forced himself to calm down again.

One breath...

Two breaths...

Ten breaths!

Finally, under the gaze of countless people, Shen Fei's rapidly rising and falling chest gradually calmed down.

Forcing a smile, Shen Fei said with a stiff face, "Hehe, I really didn't expect that Lin classmate's potential is so strong. You must have secretly practiced some body-strengthening technique, right?"

Lin Beichen chuckled, "What's it got to do with you?"

Shen Fei almost lost control again.

"If it weren't for the external pressure I accidentally provided just now, you wouldn't have been able to break through in such a short time, right? This really makes me regret..." he said sarcastically.

Lin Beichen chuckled again, "What's it got to do with me?"

Everything in the world can be solved with "What's it got to do with you?" and "What's it got to do with me?"

Shen Fei felt as if he had been hit hard, his mind went blank, and he couldn't refute it. Then his vision went dark, his throat felt sweet, and with a "pu" sound, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Lin Beichen laughed, "Don't blindly imitate me. Even if you spit blood, you're still no match for me."

After Lin Beichen took a direct hit from the [Nine Heavens Meteor], the bottleneck in his body was broken, and he underwent a transformation like a complete renewal. He spat out a mouthful of mixed blood and instantly achieved a breakthrough, reversing the situation and defeating Shen Fei.

But Shen Fei, this mouthful of blood, was purely out of anger.

And he was even accused of imitating.

"Wow..."

Shen Fei felt his heart ache and spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

Li Tao and Tao Wancheng, seeing something was wrong, quickly went over to support Shen Fei, fearing he would faint from anger.

Lin Beichen laughed.

Serve you right.

Spit blood to death.

Stop being so arrogant!

However, he was a bit surprised by his own performance just now.

The ability to hold on was, of course, due to the [Formless Sword Body].

Over the past ten days, the [Formless Sword Body] app had been running continuously. He wasn't quite sure what level he had reached, but it was definitely very strong.

In addition, the improvement in his mental power played a significant role.

Lin Beichen now clearly understood what the "inner and outer unity" mentioned in the [Mental Power Primer] meant—

This was the first principle of strength.

If necessary, Lin Beichen felt he should make up for his lack of basic martial knowledge in this world.

For example, cultivation realms, the power of each realm, and the specific application of mental power...

Because this world is very dangerous.

It is full of crises everywhere.

Before returning to Earth, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't encounter other crises, so to survive, he needed to improve his self-preservation skills and stay safe.

For example, this time.

If he hadn't broken through in the heat of battle, he might have ended up "dying before returning home, leaving the otaku in tears."

After a full cup of tea's time.

Shen Fei finally stabilized his mindset.

"I lost."

He said through gritted teeth.

Saying the words of defeat was incredibly difficult for him.

The surrounding students immediately buzzed with noise.

The faces of the two geniuses, Li Tao and Tao Wancheng, were especially gloomy and dark.

In their hearts, the absolute idol who could rival Lin Beichen had just lost to a person despised by the entire Yunmeng City.

After saying these three words, Shen Fei's expression gradually became composed. He continued, "Lin Beichen, even though you beat me, you can't change today's outcome. The strength of an individual has no meaning, because..."

At this point, he forced a smile again.

This smile had a strange infectious quality—more accurately, a seductive charm.

"The plan today was not to prove the strength of an individual, but to determine the final success of the preliminary competition. The current situation is extremely favorable for us. Ling Tianjiao's right arm is severely injured and he can't hold a sword, Lin classmate's performance was impressive but he is already at the end of his strength, and as for Yue classmate..."

He smiled faintly and glanced at Yue Hongxiang, continuing with a hint of disdain, "Yue classmate's right hand tendons are severed and not fully reconnected. The three of you have no more fighting power. How can you resist so many of us?"

Lin Beichen was taken aback.

Damn.

This bastard has a point.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

The faces of the other students, which had been somewhat dim, instantly lit up with joy.

They also realized.

Indeed.

Shen Fei's defeat would not lead to a collapse of the situation.

Because they had more people.

The overall situation was still in their control.

"Today, I will teach you a lesson." The bleeding from Shen Fei's right hand had stopped, and his smile gradually became natural, filled with pride and confidence. He looked at Lin Beichen and Ling Beichen, saying with a mocking tone, "A single tree cannot make a forest. The bravery and strength of an individual cannot change anything. The one who truly controls fate needs not only strength but also wisdom, comrades, and power."

Simple words acted like a stimulant, exciting all the surrounding students.

Li Tao and Tao Wancheng, in particular, swept away their gloom and looked at Shen Fei with renewed admiration.

That's right.

The fear is not in failure.

But in not being able to face one's own failure.

Being unable to pull oneself out of despair after failure.

Shen Fei openly admitted his inferiority, which made his image even more full and grand.

It also made his followers believe in him even more.

Such a person has this kind of charm.

Lin Beichen felt a headache.

Encountering such an opponent is really unlucky.

Could it be... that he really has to use that last trump card?

He weighed the pros and cons, hesitating.

At this moment, Ling Beichen slowly stepped forward, standing beside Lin Beichen, shoulder to shoulder.

"I will also tell you a lesson."

The prodigy girl looked at Shen Fei and said slowly, "Absolute strength can crush all plans. The advantage of numbers is often not as reliable as you imagine. A large number of sheep can never defeat a dragon."

Her right shoulder, where the sword hole was, was still bleeding profusely.

It was a very special sword wound, and it couldn't be completely stopped for the time being.

So she held the long sword with her left hand.

Her five slender and long fingers, as if carefully carved from white jade, held the sword hilt. The skin and muscle texture faintly shimmered with a pale moonlight, creating a dizzying beauty in the details.
