On the stage.
A burly youth scanned everyone below with a defiant look, appearing extremely smug.
Those in the audience, seeing his arrogant demeanor, had their faces turn red with anger, wishing they could unleash their might and kick Shi Yifeng flying.
Shi Yifeng let out a wild laugh, "The people of Third High are all hype. Dozens of S-class awakened individuals, all defeated by me in a war of attrition. Trash!"
*Spit!*
He spat fiercely onto the ground, his intent to humiliate obvious, igniting the fury of the crowd.
"Shi Yifeng, you're too arrogant! Although I'm just an A-class awakened, I will challenge you!"
"That's right, although I'm merely a B-class awakened, I fear no battle!"
"With my broken body, I will protect Third High's honor! Fight!"
Hundreds of challenge cries converged into a torrent, shaking the heavens with immense momentum.
Their blood boiled, making them temporarily forget the disparity in strength.
Shi Yifeng felt a hint of surprise at this, but then he thought, wouldn't this achieve his goal?
His original objective was to kill Lin Yu. In this situation, he could seize the opportunity to let Lin Yu step forward, challenge him, and then kill Lin Yu!
Hehehe! Heaven truly favors me, I am indeed the Son of Destiny! He was thrilled and let out a wild laugh.
"Hmph, mere ants, fit to challenge me?" His disdain and mockery were evident.
The emotions of the crowd below were instantly ignited. Though their talent wasn't great, they still had dignity. With their dignity trampled upon like this, few could remain rational.
"Shi Yifeng, you're too arrogant! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because your talent is high. Your arrogance will lead to your death at the hands of someone stronger!"
Shi Yifeng chuckled, "You are too weak, unworthy of my attention. As for my destiny, you have no right to comment!"
Being looked down upon by the crowd below, the frustration was immense. They weren't geniuses, but they would become the backbone of the human race when they grew up. When had they ever been so despised?
"However, if you insist on fighting me, I shall indulge you. I hereby declare that I will challenge all A-class awakened individuals of your Third High!"
"Come one by one! Let me show you the vast difference between heaven and earth!"
He haughtily raised his head, his invincible demeanor showing he didn't care about anyone else.
This made them both angry and anxious. Someone couldn't resist and jumped out, shouting, "I'll challenge you!"
As soon as he jumped onto the stage, a massive energy arm slammed into his face. Before he could even see what it was, he was sent flying back faster than he had arrived.
*Gulp!*
The man spat out a large mouthful of blood, his aura gradually weakening, clearly severely injured.
"Trash!" He scanned his surroundings with a look of arrogance, sneering, "Is this the level of your Third High? You talk about defeating me, you don't know your place! I think you should all go home and grow sweet potatoes, why bother going to school? A pure waste of food!"
"You..."
The crowd's faces turned red with anger, pointing at Shi Yifeng and shouting curses.
"Shi Yifeng, your arrogance won't last long! When Zhao Ke emerges from seclusion, he will definitely smash your dog head!"
"Besides, our school has Lin Yu, a genius who defeated a teacher! Although his talent isn't as high as yours, he's a genuine genius!"
"Hmph, your triumph is only temporary. Someone will deal with you sooner or later. The tables will turn!"
Though they spoke their minds, they were actually quite unsure, as this person was truly too strong.
The gap in talent and combat power were like two unbridgeable chasms before them.
Shi Yifeng listened to the curses and sneered, "I wonder if the Lin Yu who can defeat teachers is present. Does he dare to fight me and extinguish my arrogant flame? Hahaha!!!"
His voice was loud, his laughter arrogant. His followers who came with him also chimed in with mockery.
"I heard this Lin Yu only has A-class talent, and it's a scout-type talent like clone. Him?"
"Heh, I bet he can't even last one move!"
"I bet he can't last one move. He'll be so overcome by Brother Feng's domineering aura the moment he steps on stage that he'll kneel and call him 'Big Brother'!"
"Hahaha~~~"
Their laughter was piercing, yet there was nothing to refute.
Lin Yu's talent was only A-class. Even if he were lucky enough to break through to third tier, how could he be a match for Shi Yifeng, who had SS-class talent!
At this moment, the eyes of the crowd were filled with despair. They were angry and humiliated, yet unable to resist. This sense of powerlessness made them tremble with rage, yet helpless.
Anger!
In a corner, Lin Yu watched the one-sided spectacle and let out a cold smile.
He wasn't happy. No one would be happy when they were looked down upon like this.
He took a step forward, walking towards the training stage.
On the way.
He silently chanted, "Clone!"
A gust of wind suddenly blew, and the temperature dropped a few degrees, causing goosebumps.
*Rumble!!!*
Suddenly, within a hundred meters, white light enveloped the area, nearly blinding everyone.
The crowd looked around, their faces filled with shock, murmuring amongst themselves.
"What is this? Why is there so much white light suddenly?"
"I feel energy fluctuations. Someone is releasing their talent!"
"Could it be Zhao Ke emerging from seclusion? Hahaha, I knew Zhao Ke would come! I can finally see my goddess again!"
"No, this isn't Zhao Ke. Look quickly, has someone appeared next to you?"
"Holy crap, when did someone appear next to me?"
"Damn, this is too weird. These people all look exactly the same, and they're all expressionless, like clones!"
The white light appeared as quickly as it disappeared. When all one hundred clones were condensed, the white light vanished.
When the white light disappeared, the one hundred clones, distributed in various places, stunned everyone.
"So it's Lin Yu's clone talent!"
"When did his talent become so powerful?"
"At least dozens of clones, has he broken through?"
"He's gotten stronger! He's going to challenge Shi Yifeng!"
Lin Yu, hearing the astonished voices of the crowd, slowly walked onto the training stage.
He looked up at the arrogant Shi Yifeng.
"You're the one who wants to challenge me, right? Alright, I accept your challenge!" Lin Yu said casually, as if addressing a passerby, with no hint of respect or deference.
This made Shi Yifeng, who had always been revered, feel very displeased. Who do you think you are? With mere A-class talent, you dare speak to me like this?
If someone hadn't wanted you dead, you wouldn't even have the chance to see me!
Heh, just wait. Before you die, I'll tell you the truth, and you'll die with no regrets!
"So you're Lin Yu. Your strength isn't much, but your lineup is impressive. If I accidentally slip my hand during the fight, your little life might be over," Shi Yifeng said with a smile.
Lin Yu chuckled, "Don't worry, I've bought enough insurance. If I die, I'll get a good amount of money. Have you bought insurance in advance? If not, I happen to know a very skilled insurance agent. Let him recommend a good policy for you. How about this accidental decapitation insurance?"
"You... such a sharp-tongued brat! You'll be crying later!" Shi Yifeng's anger surged. He vowed to tear Lin Yu's mouth apart.
Lin Yu looked up at him and said, "Are we fighting or not? If not, I'm going home. I have seniors to take care of!"
"Brat, you're dead! Take this punch!"
Lin Yu's lips curved slightly. Good, you've lost your composure!
Lin Yu's main body slowly retreated, and he gestured to the clones around him:
"Brothers, beat him up!"
