Chapter 78

Based on the auction just now, even if the badges are privately traded later, these four badges are already enough to ensure her advancement from the preliminary round to the main competition.

Happiness came so suddenly.

The other students were all envious, jealous, and resentful.

Especially those who spent a fortune to bid for the badges.

How can the gap between people be so great?

Others can get four badges with wild fruits and vegetables, while he can only buy them with a mountain of debt.

Lin Beichen didn’t care about that. He took out six Star Badges and handed them to Lin Ling, saying, "These are for the little fairy. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation."

Although Lin Ling didn’t say a word from start to finish, just standing by Lin Beichen’s side solved many problems, ensuring the smooth running of this hastily organized auction. Therefore, Lin Beichen was very generous in his reward.

Although Lin Beichen knew that each additional badge sold meant a fortune.

But he had principles.

He could be frugal and stingy.

But he absolutely could not be ungrateful.

Lin Ling looked at Lin Beichen, thought for a moment, and without being polite, directly took the six Star Badges.

Lin Beichen sighed in relief.

Very good.

No pretense of refusal, just take what is due. The little phoenix is still very straightforward.

This way, he had ten Star Badges left in his hand.

Enough to advance.

Feeling great.

By this time, it was already afternoon.

The sun by the small lake gradually became more intense.

"Speaking of which, I should also thank classmate Shen Fei."

Lin Beichen smiled at Shen Fei.

The latter had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he heard Lin Beichen shamelessly say, "If it weren’t for classmate Shen Fei’s brilliant strategy, overestimating his abilities and trying to deal with little fairy Lin Ling, gathering so many people by the lake, to be honest, my auction would have been really hard to pull off... I thank your eight generations of ancestors."

Listen to this, is this human talk?

Shen Fei’s face turned black.

The others were speechless.

This scoundrel is really too despicable.

This is a heartless attack.

Tao Wancheng and Li Tao, at this moment, had the urge to kill Lin Beichen.

They each had one badge, which was a surefire way to advance.

But now, after Lin Beichen’s crazy auction, the 20th student already had three badges, which meant that they, who were originally certain to advance, were now definitely eliminated.

Moreover, because the badges they had found earlier had already been handed over to the camp’s chief manager Li Luo Ran, it was impossible to concentrate the badges on one person to ensure at least one of Shen Fei, Tao Wancheng, and Li Tao advanced.

Tragic.

Shen Fei lowered his head.

His body trembled slightly.

Tao Wancheng and Li Tao looked at Lin Beichen with the eyes of someone who had lost a father.

Seeing the looks on these three, Lin Beichen felt happy.

He wanted to continue insulting them.

At this moment, Lin Ling suddenly reached out, placed her hand on his shoulder, and pushed him, saying, "Be careful..."

Before she could finish speaking,

Whoosh!

A black light came straight at them.

Lin Ling’s left-hand sword, like the stars of last night, pointed out.

Bang!

The Yunmeng Guard standard long sword in her hand instantly shattered into butterfly-wing-like fragments, flying out.

"Ah..."

Lin Ling’s figure flew backward, landing after several steps, her face already pale.

The crowd was in shock.

No one expected such a thing to happen.

At this moment, Lin Beichen was also stunned.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Shen Fei lowered his head, emitting a strange cold laugh, a terrifying aura that was hard to describe slowly spreading from him.

Black light flickered between his hands.

A sinister, evil, and nightmare-inducing aura emanated from this black light.

"Not good, it’s the power of demons!"

The fourth-ranked genius student, Wang Xinyu, opened her eyes wide in disbelief and shouted, "Quick, quick, retreat, find the instructor, this person has been possessed by a demon..."

Possessed by a demon!

A forbidden and terrifying word.

These two words carried the same deterrent power as a death plague.

Suddenly, all the students around them retreated in a frenzy.

Only Li Tao and Tao Wancheng, still standing in place, looked uncertain and at a loss.

The person they most admired, trusted, and were willing to follow to life and death, had been possessed by a demon?

This...

"It’s you who forced me."

In a cold, cursing voice, Shen Fei suddenly raised his head.

His face was covered with pale black patterns, like the markings of a wild beast, crisscrossing and spreading. His eyes turned a blood red, with a faint red mist flowing out, floating around his eyes, looking sinister and ferocious, emitting a cold and icy aura.

This was not the aura of a normal human.

This was the aura of a demon.

At this sight, Lin Beichen’s mind was flooded with information.

In this world, there are deities.

The main deity worshipped by the Northern Sea Empire, from top to bottom, is the [Lord of Swords].

Temples of the Lord of Swords are built throughout the country.

The other countries of the Eastern Daozhen Continent have different deities, such as the Earth Goddess, the Goddess of Victory, the God of War, the Moon God, etc. — of course, some countries worship the same deities.

But one thing is common.

Only the deities of the Light Order are worthy of having believers.

The chaotic and evil deities from the void are collectively resisted and despised by all living beings.

Because the chaotic and evil deities bring only slaughter, death, separation, and suffering to this world.

Followers of these evil deities are like rats in the street, hunted by all.

Previously, Lin Beichen had worried that if his穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in Chinese, which can be translated as "穿越" in English, but in this context, it means "穿越" as in "穿越" or "穿越" in the sense of "穿越" or "穿越" in a story or novel) was exposed, he would be considered an invasion by an extraterrestrial evil deity and burned alive in the square of the Lord of Swords temple in the city. In this world, the descent of evil deities is mercilessly exterminated, and their followers are burned upon discovery.

Shen Fei’s current behavior is undoubtedly a sign of a believer who has harnessed or practiced the power of an evil deity.

"It’s you who forced me."

Shen Fei’s face was covered with greenish-black spots, his blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Beichen.

More bizarrely, Shen Fei’s voice had changed.

From a boy in his voice-changing period, it had become a seductive, feminine voice.

"I just wanted to advance to the main competition. This simple request, you kept forcing me, repeatedly ruining my plans, forcing me to expose myself... Lin Beichen, you damn fool, dirty ant, you don’t even know what you’ve done. Now, only death can make up for your mistakes."

Like the chanting of a demoness, the voice was unusually pleasant and moving.

What’s going on?

Lin Beichen was a bit stunned.

A hermaphrodite?
