Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The surrounding chatter was quite loud, especially the last undisguised sarcastic remark, which clearly reached everyone's ears.

Lynn didn't stop walking, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

How come I keep running into idiots like this everywhere? I have no idea how he even managed to become a third-class apprentice.

Could it be that too much cultivation has damaged his brain with negative energy?

Lynn responded, as if talking to himself, at a volume just loud enough for those around him to hear.

"Don't talk nonsense, my pet... its bites really hurt!"

Upon hearing this, the nearby apprentices were taken aback at first, then burst into even louder laughter.

The tall, thin, third-class apprentice who had made the sarcastic remark was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe.

He stepped forward and blocked Lynn's path, his face filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"Oh my, a pet? And it bites, that hurts!"

The tall, thin apprentice looked Lynn up and down at the seemingly harmless grayish-white stone on his shoulder.

"Lynn, right? I heard you've been pretty arrogant lately! What's wrong? Has too much attention made you lose your mind?"

"Come on, take your 'fierce' pet out for a walk. I want to see how it bites!"

"If it can't figure it out by chewing, then you're in for a good 'chewing' tonight..."

The tall, thin apprentice emphasized the word "bite," which was clearly not a positive word.

Lynn frowned slightly. Why are there so many troublemakers in this other world? Do they all like to dip their food in soybean paste?

At this moment, some apprentices who had been watching the commotion gathered around. They were all troublemakers who were eager to stir up trouble.

"Take a bite! Take a bite!"

Lynn's face showed just the right amount of "difficulty," he glanced at the small stone on his shoulder, then at the arrogant apprentice in front of him, and hesitated before saying:

"Senior, let's forget about it... It's a bit temperamental, I'm afraid it will scare you."

"Did you scare me?"

The tall, thin apprentice chuckled as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and reached out to push Lynn's shoulder, but Lynn dodged to the side.

The tall, thin apprentice didn't care, but his tone became even more contemptuous.

"This piece of junk? You think it can scare me? You try making it move! If it manages to scare me today, I'll change my surname to yours!"

Lynn sighed and shook his head as if helpless: "Well, since that's what you think... fine... but let's make this clear first, don't blame me if you scare anyone."

He raised his left hand, and the few strands of pale yellow energy threads connected to his wrist glowed faintly in the dim light.

The tall, thin apprentice crossed his arms, his face full of mockery and disdain, as if to say, "Let's see what tricks you can pull."

With a slight flick of his left wrist, Lynn instantly taut the previously softly connected strands of energy!

At the same time, the small stone that had been quietly floating on his shoulder suddenly became bright and rapid in its grayish-white light!

"Stone—" Lynn shouted, his left hand suddenly swung forward like a meteor hammer!

"Bite him!!"

The taut energy threads provide precise guidance and acceleration!

To everyone's astonishment, the seemingly harmless little stone transformed into a grayish-white afterimage and, with lightning speed, slammed into the tall, thin apprentice's mocking face!

boom!

A muffled thud was followed by the crisp sound of bone colliding with a hard object.

"ah!!"

The tall, thin apprentice had no time to react. He only saw a blur before a tremendous force slammed into his face!

A sharp pain shot through my nose, I saw stars, and warm liquid gushed from my nasal cavity.

He staggered back several steps, fell to the ground with a thud, covered his face, and groaned in pain.

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

All the apprentices who were watching the spectacle stared wide-eyed at the scene before them in disbelief.

That rock...it really "bites"!

Moreover, it was done in such a simple, crude, and extremely insulting way, with little harm!

After successfully striking, the little stone swung lightly back onto Lynn's shoulder, guided by the energy threads.

The light gradually dimmed, as if the fierce attack just now had nothing to do with it.

Well done, stone!

Lynn mentally gave it a thumbs up, then slowly and methodically tidied the energy threads on his wrist.

Looking at the tall, thin apprentice sitting on the ground, his nose bleeding profusely, his face a mixture of bewilderment and anger, he spoke with a hint of "apology":

"See? I told you it was fierce, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you're scared, aren't you?"

"you!!!"

The tall, thin apprentice finally snapped out of his daze and felt the burning pain on his face and the strange looks he was getting. He was filled with shame and indignation, and a surge of anger rose to his head.

He suddenly jumped up from the ground, his spiritual power surging around him, and a dangerous gray-black light emanated from between his fingers, clearly a prelude to some kind of aggressive witchcraft.

"Lynn! You're asking for it!!" he roared, about to attack without regard for anything else.

"Enough! Fate!" An apprentice who seemed to be with him rushed forward, grabbed him tightly, and said in a low, urgent voice.

"This is a public passageway! Do you want to trigger the alarm and attract the hunters?! For a ridiculous rock?"

The apprentice named Fett's chest heaved violently, his eyes fixed on Lynn, his teeth grinding together.

He also knew that the punishment for launching an attack in a public area would definitely not be lenient.

Lynn stood there innocently, even reaching out to pat the small stone on her shoulder as if to comfort her, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, okay?"

This action made Karl so angry he almost vomited blood.

Finally, with her companions forcibly pulling her away, Fate fiercely wiped the blood from her nose, glared at Lynn with venomous eyes, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth:

"Good! Very good! Lynn, I'll remember you! We'll see!"

After saying that, he was dragged away by his companions, his back view revealing his frustration and anger.

Lynn watched his departing figure, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes...

Threatening me? You must have a death wish...

The apprentices around him gradually dispersed when they saw that no fight had broken out, but the way they looked at Lynn and the stone on his shoulder had completely changed.

This is a rock that bites!

This Lynn... just as rumored, is a bit strange! He can even make a fuss over a rock!

Ignoring the stares around him, Lynn whispered to the small stone on his shoulder, "Well done, I'll make you some more later."

The little stone shimmered twice with a cheerful light.

He straightened his wizard robes and turned to leave.

After this incident, no one dared to easily mock his "walking on stones" pose anymore.

At least, I can have some peace and quiet.
