Xu Xiaolan opened her eyes with great difficulty, and a dazed expression appeared on her delicate features as she stared at the crumbling earth and the vast expanse of dust and debris before her.
What was An Lin doing? She was extremely perplexed.
Xu Xiaolan gritted her teeth as she stood up. Her body swayed slightly, and she threw up another mouthful of blood.
Because of the sudden explosion, her body had already suffered quite a bit of damage, but she still firmly walked towards the center of the explosion step by step.
Finally, she saw An Lin, whose clothes were in tatters and his body was charred black.
An Lin's injuries were much more severe than hers. If it weren't for the fact that he possessed a Soul Formation Stage body, his Defeat Judgement Seal would've been activated a long time ago.
"An Lin, are you alright?"
Xu Xiaolan was about to ask An Lin why he was doing this, but for some reason, her question became one of concern and concern.
An Lin shook his head with a smile as he used his Evil-Slaying Sword to support his body.
He turned toward the woman in a plain daoist robe who was slowly walking toward him. The two of them were already less than a hundred meters apart.
An Lin gritted his teeth as he pointed his sword at Xu Xiaolan. His voice was clear, but it was filled with determination.
"Third-year, Class One, An Lin, please enlighten me!"
Xu Xiaolan's footsteps faltered as she stared at An Lin with incredulity. She bit down on her lower lip and raised her chin with a hint of arrogance. "I won't fight you!"
An Lin's expression faltered slightly before he replied, "When two people meet in the free-for-all battle, as long as one of the students introduces themselves, they can force the other party to fight!"
"But I can also choose to run away. With your current condition, do you think you can catch up to me?" Xu Xiaolan asked with a serious expression.
An Lin: "…"
"I'll catch up to you. No matter where you run to, I'll catch up to you!" An Lin looked at Xu Xiaolan and spoke slowly, as if he was saying something that couldn't be denied.
Xu Xiaolan's heart trembled. These were clearly very strange words, but she couldn't move away from this place.
"Why are you doing this?" Xu Xiaolan asked.
"Defeat me. I can't defeat anyone in my current condition. Losing to you is the best choice for me. "An Lin walked toward Xu Xiaolan as he spoke.
Xu Xiaolan looked at An Lin's determined footsteps, and she couldn't help but recall the battle from that day. "That battle yesterday …"
"It was me!" An Lin didn't wait for Xu Xiaolan to finish before nodding and admitting.
Xu Xiaolan's eyelashes fluttered, and she closed her eyes slightly. She took a deep breath and said, "Then you should defeat me. I'm willing to lose to you."
An Lin smiled. "Didn't I say it before? I only bully others, not you."
Xu Xiaolan stood rooted to the spot as the conversation in the cafeteria slowly surfaced in her mind.
"I'm not like you. You're already number one, so please go easy on me, Earth Immortal An Lin."
"No problem, no problem. I only bully others, not you."
That day, she smiled sweetly and only cared about teasing An Lin.
An Lin also replied with a nonchalant expression. Even though An Lin had said something that made her a little happy, she had thought that it was just a casual remark. Never would she have thought that An Lin would make such a promise.
Xu Xiaolan felt a lump in her throat as she stared at An Lin with reddened eyes. Lightning and flames flashed past the Dragon Sparrow Sword as it faced An Lin who was walking toward her.
An Lin began to run faster and faster, and his Evil-Slaying Sword transformed into a black shadow.
"Third-year, Class One, An Lin, please enlighten me!"
"Third-year, Class One, Xu Xiaolan, please enlighten me!"
Golden flames and lightning flashed past, and crimson blood splattered into the sky.
"Thank you," An Lin said softly as he pressed a hand over the bloody wound on his arm.
His Defeat Judgement Seal had already been activated, and a golden protective barrier enshrouded his entire body.
"You're being too much of a bully …" Xu Xiaolan lowered her head, and the Dragon Sparrow Sword in her hand trembled slightly. A single tear trickled down from the corner of her eye, and it shimmered under the illumination of the flames.
An Lin looked at Xu Xiaolan. Her beautiful face was already stained with blood.
An Lin wanted to wipe it off for her, but he discovered that there was a golden barrier between them. In the end, his body faltered, and he fell into the darkness of teleportation.
F * ck you, system!
He had already cursed the system ten thousand times in his heart.
On the White Jade Plaza, all the students stared at the crystal screen with their minds in complete disarray.
"Could this be the legendary love-hate relationship?"
"Senior An Lin was defeated just like that? I can't accept this! How did this happen?! "
"Sigh, I wanted to see Senior An Lin's battle the most in this free-for-all battle, but who would have thought that it would end like this …"
"I seem to have understood something after seeing Goddess Xu Xiaolan's expression."
Just as the students were discussing spiritedly among themselves, a streak of golden light converged, and An Lin appeared on the White Jade Plaza.
All the students around him turned to look at him, some with scorching light in their eyes, some with confusion, and some with a hint of sympathy on their faces.
He heaved a sigh of relief before lying down on the ground and closing his eyes as he accepted the healing effects of the spell formation. He didn't hear or see anything …
In the air above the enchantment barrier of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.
Cang Qing, who was responsible for recording the combat capability, was feeling a headache and exasperation.
Vice-Principal Yu Hua was also at a complete loss. He was here to witness An Lin's power after progressing to the Soul Formation Stage, wasn't he?!
And now, they were being given a battle like this?
"Cang Qing, what do you think of this?" Celestial Immortal Yuhua asked.
"Principal, Cang Qing feels like there's something fishy going on here!" Dioscorea Cangqingensis replied with a solemn expression.
Vice-Principal Yuhua glared at Cang Qing. "Can you not talk nonsense with me? Everyone knows there's something fishy about this battle! "
Dioscorea Cangqingensis wiped the sweat off his forehead. "I think Student An Lin has given up on himself! Otherwise, he's trying to hide his strength and self-destruct to withdraw from the free-for-all battle! "
Vice-Principal Yuhua rolled his eyes. "Then he could have self-destructed as soon as he entered, why would he want to harm others?"
Dioscorea Cangqingensis naturally knew what Vice-Principal Yuhua was referring to. "Could it be … that he did this for Xu Xiaolan?" he asked with an uncertain expression.
"Hmm … It's not just An Lin. Perhaps even Liu Qianhuan did this for Xu Xiaolan. Sigh. I really don't understand the thoughts of these young people … "Vice-Principal Yuhua sighed with a weary expression.
Dioscorea Cangqingensis looked at the newly updated names on the scoreboard.
Xu Xiaolan — Combat Capability: 1180, Achievement Score: 1320
Liu Qianhuan — Combat Capability: 1310, Achievement Score: 680
Xuanyuan Cheng — Combat Capability: 1030, Achievement Score: 890
An Lin — Combat Capability: 120, Achievement Score: 0
An Lin's combat capability was evaluated based entirely on his running speed and the speed of his sword strikes during the final battle. Fortunately, Dioscorea Cangqingensis had sharp eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see through An Lin's combat capability.
"An Lin probably won't be able to make it onto the Immortal Rankings Board. Should I help him increase his combat capability so that he can at least make it into the top one hundred? Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll suffer a severe setback if he falls too far behind," Dioscorea Cangqingensis murmured to himself.
Vice-Principal Yuhua glared at him. "As a teacher, you can't mix in your personal feelings, understand?!"
Dioscorea Cangqingensis sighed. "I know. I'm just feeling sorry for Student An Lin."
