After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan put Su Xiaowan down, straightened his clothes, and headed towards the cafeteria exit.

Xiang Liu mocked Zhou Yan from behind.

"He is still a man, after all."

Xiang Liu and Zhou Yan arrived at the square outside the cafeteria. Hundreds of students came out of the playground and surrounded the open space.

On the rooftop of a teaching building, Bai Rusu leaned against the railing, looking down at Zhou Yan.

"Little guy."

Bai Rusu smiled happily.

You will eventually become like me.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Evil Water

Suzaku Academy is a private academy that only admits awakened students. As such, its infrastructure is excellent. The entire school has more than 2,000 students, but it covers an area of ​​several square kilometers. Therefore, the buildings are spaced far apart. In front of the cafeteria, there is an open space of more than 3,000 square meters. As if to make the open space not seem too empty, there is a musical fountain in the center of the open space.

Zhou Yan and Lin Anru walked to the edge of the fountain and stopped. A group of students stood around them, and many more students who had heard the news came from various places and gathered at the edge of the open space. Because the space was large enough, the students were scattered around, and some nosy students pointed and whispered about Zhou Yan and Lin Anru.

"Have you heard? The new transfer student got into a fight with Sister An because of something about mortals."

"Are you stupid? You actually fought for a mortal and Sister An?"

"This newcomer is so arrogant, how good is his fighting ability?"

"Definitely not. If someone is truly powerful, would they even glance at a mortal?"

"I also think that this newcomer probably suddenly gained power and thinks he's invincible, so he's stirring up trouble. Sister An will beat this idiot up later, and he'll know what it means to be arrogant."

Zhou Yan glanced at the classmates around him. None of them dared to look at Lin Anru, this demigod awakener. They just looked at Zhou Yan with schadenfreude. When Zhou Yan met the eyes of the female student opposite him, some of them gave him a thumbs down, and some even slashed their necks with knives.

The malice was made without the slightest attempt to conceal it.

They may not know what Zhou Yan did, nor may they know why Zhou Yan fought with Lin Anru. It's just that Lin Anru has long been a powerful figure in the school, so when Zhou Yan stands opposite Lin Anru, these students will naturally support Lin Anru.

To put it simply, you, a country bumpkin from out of town, think you can fight against the local gentry?

"Junior, concentrate!"

"Lin'an across the street shouted."

Zhou Yan looked at Lin Anru.

Lin'an sneered.

"Looking around aimlessly during a fight, are you trying to kill yourself?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

As Lin Anru stretched out her left hand, water from the fifty-square-meter musical fountain flew out, swirling and turning around her body before slowly turning green.

The surrounding students shouted and yelled, and many of them took out their mobile phones and pointed their cameras at Lin'an.

Zhou Yan also reached out, and the Shengwu Sword wrapped around his hand extended until Zhou Yan grasped the hilt of the sword.

Lin'an felt a sudden stirring in his heart.

Because of Zhou Yan's special bloodline, Bai Rusu did not tell Lin Anru what Zhou Yan's bloodline was. However, based on Bai Rusu's previous description of him as a "stinky monkey" and the bamboo sword in Zhou Yan's hand, Lin Anru guessed that Zhou Yan might be a sword ape.

When a sword ape cultivates to 50% or higher of awakening level, it will awaken sword energy. Sword energy is an extraordinary skill. Lin'an Ru has seen Bai Yuan, the weapons instructor of the Dragon City First Academy, use sword energy to cut through tanks, helicopters, and even steel bridges. It is no exaggeration to say that it is indestructible.

But is that stinky monkey on the other side really at over 50% awakening level?

Lin An gracefully brought her left index and middle fingers together, retracted the other fingers into her palm, raised her hand, and bent her index and middle fingers toward Zhou Yan.

The water around Lin'an, which had turned green, transformed into streaks of sharp arrows that shot towards Zhou Yan.

The water arrow flew extremely fast, reaching Zhou Yan in an instant. Zhou Yan swung his sword, and the tip of the sword shattered the incoming water arrow.

Lin Anru's expression changed drastically.

This bamboo sword is no ordinary object, and this water arrow is not a solid object, nor is it something that can be shot out by a bow and arrow. Therefore, Lin'an could completely control the water arrow to turn halfway, or even condense it again after it is shattered and shoot it out.

However, once the water arrow came into contact with the bamboo sword, it lost its connection with Lin Anru. Lin Anru had to re-establish the connection in order to control the water that had been cut by the bamboo sword again.

Zhou Yan, who had just shattered the water arrow, paused for a moment, then twisted his body.

Everyone felt Zhou Yan's body flash by, and an indistinct, blurry figure walked across the square.

Several students specializing in close combat immediately shouted.

"It's the Wandering Step."

"Whose walking technique is this, that it can't even tell the way out?"

As the students shouted, Zhou Yan had already reached Lin Anru's side. Lin Anru didn't care about this. She simply swung her right hand downwards, and water arrows made of dozens of kilograms of water shot outwards from in front of her.

Lin'an suddenly became like a hedgehog.

Amidst the water arrows, Zhou Yan deflected several that struck his vital points and managed to reach Lin Anru, offering her the Shengwu Sword.

Lin'an slowly reached out and grasped the tip of the Shengwu sword.

Flames leaped out from between Lin Anru's palms, and Zhou Yan's pupils contracted at that moment.

The area where Lin'an's hand touched the Shengwu Sword had a scale-like reflection, and the Shengwu Sword could not advance an inch between these scales of reflection.

Zhou Yan withdrew his Shengwu Sword, twisted his body, and despite the damage from the evil water's corrosive effects, slashed at Lin Anru's neck with his sword.

Lin Anru did not dodge or block this time, but the Shengwu sword only managed to slash a few sparks at Lin Anru's neck.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Evil Scales

Zhou Yan launched two attacks, but Lin'an remained unscathed.

"Junior."

As if lifting a finger, Lin'an summoned a new wave of evil waters.

Zhou Yan hurriedly retreated. As he retreated, the evil water corroded his clothes, causing them to turn into fragments that fell from his body. The evil water seeped through the clothes and irritated Zhou Yan's entire body, making him feel numb and itchy.

However, Lin Anru's awakening level was not high enough, and the evil water could not corrode Zhou Yan's skin; at most, it would only make Zhou Yan's skin uncomfortable.

That is, the defensive strength of Lin'an.

Zhou Yan stared at the scale-like reflection on Lin An's neck, wondering what kind of defense it was that even the Shengwu Sword couldn't penetrate.

Lin'an said jokingly.

Is this all the purity you've got?

"It can't even penetrate my defenses."

Zhou Yan shook the Shengwu sword to remove the water from it.

"not necessarily."

Inhale, exhale, and after controlling the probability of at least preventing his underwear from being corroded, Zhou Yanqiang mustered his strength and, with his breathing technique now above the standard level, transformed into a streak of light and ran towards Lin'an.

Lin Anru waved her hand, and dozens of water arrows flew towards Zhou Yan again. Zhou Yan shattered them and rushed to Lin Anru's side, sweeping his sword horizontally.

Lin'an didn't even try to block it, letting the blade strike her temple.

Sparks flew, but it didn't cause any damage.

Lin Anru didn't want to say that her Evil Scale could even block bullets from anti-material sniper rifles. Although the aftershocks were unpleasant, the Evil Scale's defensive capabilities were indeed higher than those of a heavy tank.

A second wave of evil water gathered and shot towards Zhou Yan.

……

The roof of the teaching building not far away.

Bai Rusu, who was engrossed in the story, heard the creaking sound of a door opening behind her. Turning around, she saw a handsome middle-aged man walking up to her. The man asked in surprise...

"The two kids in front of the cafeteria?"

Bai Rusu shrugged.

"Young people are hot-blooded and mighty, so let them fight if they want. It's okay, I'll take care of anything that happens and won't affect these two kids' futures."

The middle-aged man smiled.

"That's good. If no one were to keep an eye on them, I was really afraid these two kids would fight to the death."

The middle-aged man walked to Bai Rusu's side, his gaze also turning towards the square in front of the cafeteria. The battle on the square had reached a fever pitch. Basically, Lin Anru stood still, constantly shooting water arrows, while Zhou Yan dodged and slashed at Lin Anru's weak points. Several times, he even managed to hit Lin Anru's joints, but even at the joints, he couldn't break through her defenses.

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"That boy's close combat skills are not bad, but Lin Anru is simply a bug."

It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Anru's Evil Scale has the damage reduction of Minotaur, the armor of a Stone Golem with a shield, and the magic defense of Galio. Within the same level, its defense is unparalleled, and even some high-level Demon-level Awakened beings do not have Lin Anru's defense.

Zhou Yan's constant maneuvering and attacks made him look like a pathetic clown.

Bai Rusu looked smug.

That's why she went to Lin'an Rulai to deal with Zhou Yan.

That's the kind of crushing defeat we want, that's the kind of powerlessness we want. Only when Zhou Yan loses will Bai Rusu feel that she will see the look of despair on Zhou Yan's face, like someone who has been battered and bruised by the social environment.

In this way, he could stand before Zhou Yan and condescendingly declare that Zhou Yan was a fool.

"Hahaha……"

A few laughs drifted from the rooftop; the students watching below couldn't hold back any longer. They found it laughable to see the outsider, a country bumpkin, being unilaterally beaten by their own wealthy landlord.

The man next to Bai Rusu shook his head.

"It's really pointless to have the outcome decided long ago. I hope this kid won't be too sad after losing."

Bai Rusu said smugly.

"I will comfort him. I believe that after this experience, he will understand what society is like."

The middle-aged man waved and turned to leave.

Since Bai Rusu can handle it, he doesn't need to waste his energy anymore.

……

In front of the cafeteria.

Zhou Yan flew back from Lin'an Ru's side for the eighth time. Now, Zhou Yan, who was only wearing his underwear, looked somewhat comical. The students around him laughed in waves, and a few shouted out loud.

"Junior, have you not eaten?"

"Push harder! Push harder! You don't even have the strength to chop someone up, yet you want to challenge Sister An?"

"The new students are full of energy, but some of them are too arrogant to know their place."

"Go, Sister An! Make this silly junior cry!"

Lin'an, who had been standing still for a while, slowly broke into a smile.

She realized that Zhou Yan was not a sword ape, and even if he was, he had not comprehended sword energy, so there was no way Zhou Yan could break through her defenses.

Judging from Zhou Yan's swordsmanship, which can only be considered slightly above average, his awakening level is definitely not high.

For a demigod with only 30%+ awakening to come and fight Zhou Yan, it really feels like an adult bullying a child.

But who told Zhou Yan to offend Bai Rusu?

Disobedient children always need to be disciplined by their parents.

This is love for children.

Even if this love is harsh.

Zhou Yan charged forward for the ninth time. This time, Lin Anru lowered her guard and defenses, allowing the tip of Zhou Yan's sword to touch her eyes.

Flames burst forth before his eyes.

Are you kidding me? Even my eyes have evil scales.

Zhou Yan took a step and arrived behind Lin Anru.

In a corner unseen by Lin Anru, a sharp resentment gleamed behind Lin Anru, a point of contention in Zhou Yan's eyes.
