In an instant, an overwhelmingly fierce aura burst forth from Ling Qingyuan, enveloping the entire Martial Arts Academy.
Everyone felt as though the apocalypse had arrived, and almost everyone was unable to breathe.
The whole sky changed color, with dark clouds gathering together in an instant.
Ling Qingyuan, like a Heavenly Demon descending to the mortal realm, looked at Lin Mo with a cold smile on his face:
"Rebellious son, I must kill you, you dared to kill my daughter, I will not only kill you but also flay your skin off!"
Lin Mo just snorted lightly, "Then we'll have to see if you have the ability."
As his words fell, Lin Mo took a slight step forward.
Thump!
That casual step instantly caused the ground to crack before everyone's eyes.
"Young Martial Venerate?"
Seeing this scene, Ling Qingyuan's expression changed slightly, his pupils constricted as he stared at Lin Mo and said, "No wonder you could kill so many masters at my Martial Arts Academy."
Lin Mo looked toward Ling Qingyuan with an indifferent gaze and spoke coldly, "You say I am a Martial Venerate, then so be it."
Hearing this, those present were even more shocked.
Lin Mo's acknowledgment meant he was indeed claiming to be a Martial Venerate, which carried a completely different significance.
But in fact, was Lin Mo really just a Martial Venerate? No one knew, not even he himself knew to what extent he had reached. There was only one thing for sure, that so far, no one had been able to cause him any harm.
"Hmph! Even if you are a young Martial Venerate, what of it? I am a veteran Martial Venerate."
Ling Qingyuan snorted coldly, his eyes emanating an extremely cold murderous intent: "Since you dared kill my daughter, then go to hell."
Suddenly, Ling Qingyuan's expression turned utterly cold, and under the surge of his killing intent, he stepped forward, his gaze like that of an Asura, making everyone feel a tremor in their hearts.
They could only feel that Ling Qingyuan's aura seemed as though it could pierce through heaven and earth.
"Kill!"
Ling Qingyuan shouted, his whole body's killing intent shaking the heavens. The next second, an aura that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth burst forth from his body.
His veteran Martial Venerate's aura, like countless giant iron chains, instantly locked down the space where Lin Mo was.
Seeing that Lin Mo no longer moved, there was a look of triumph and bloodlust in Ling Qingyuan's eyes: "Hahaha… Die, boy!"
So strong!
This was everyone's first instinctive feeling; the power of a Martial Venerate was simply like that of an Immortal to an average Martial Artist.
Lin Mo stood in his place, his face showing not a trace of fear, and the next second, he shouted coldly, "Break!"
Boom, boom, boom...
In an instant, those iron chain-like auras completely enveloping Lin Mo were shattered by him.
Ling Qingyuan's expression was one of shock, his face filled with horror: "No... impossible!! How could you break through my spatial lock so easily?"
However, before Ling Qingyuan could react, Lin Mo had already leaped to his front.
Pfft!!
A sound of spurting blood rang out, under the shockingly wide eyes of countless people, Ling Qingyuan's throat was directly crushed by Lin Mo's fingers. Ling Qingyuan's pupils filled with endless terror; if given another chance, he would definitely not provoke such an extraordinary being again.
Below, those people had already been scared stiff.
The headmaster of the Martial Arts Academy, Ling Qingyuan, was an existence akin to a Heavenly God in their eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the teenager had killed him instantly.
What in the world is going on!
In their hearts, there was utter astonishment:
"God! He used just one move to kill our principal. He could probably stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those at the Martial Arts Peak in Huaxia, couldn't he?"
"Although our principal had only been a Martial Venerate for a little over a year, he was at least a veteran Martial Venerate. Yet, he was so easily killed."
"Now, how many in Hua Country can withstand this young man?"
Especially the way Lin Mo made them feel—decisive in killing, domineering, indifferent, viewing everything as insignificant as ants.
Everyone felt terror and trembled. Lin Mo glanced indifferently at Yu Haonan and said lightly, "Go bring the car around."
Yu Haonan, equally shocked beyond recovery, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay…"
The two got into the car, and the security guard at the gate dared not stop them.
To them, Lin Mo was like a Killing God, a Heavenly God; they were eager for Lin Mo to leave quickly.
After all, with a person like this, if displeased, he might just annihilate the whole Martial Arts Academy.
Lin Mo and Yu Haonan left the Martial Arts Academy soon after.
A SUV drove rapidly into the Martial Arts Academy.
The car door banged open, and a middle-aged man in a long robe jumped out. Upon seeing the corpses of Lingluo and Ling Qingyuan, his face twisted almost completely as he screamed in immense grief:
"Ah! No matter who you are, I will tear you to pieces to avenge my daughter and father!"
...
After the evening class, Lin Mo, along with Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and Pudgy were just about to return to their dormitory when Principal Ma Bo came to find Lin Mo.
"Mr. Lin, tonight is a special event hosted by Ye Nantian, the head of Divine Dragon Training Camp, where he personally recruits talents. Ye Nantian specifically asked to meet you, intending to focus on training you personally, hand in hand."
Lin Mo laughed lightly with his hands in his pockets, "Train me, hand in hand? He's not qualified yet."
Hearing this, Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and Pudgy were all astonished.
Who was Ye Nantian? Except for that person at the Martial Arts Peak of Huaxia, he was the second highest Martial Arts Master in Hua Country.
Now, Lin Mo was saying that Ye Nantian wasn't qualified to train him.
Madness! Pure madness!
"Mr. Lin, please come with me anyway, otherwise, our Tian Nan University's spots in the Divine Dragon Training Camp this year will all be lost," Ma Bo said with a wry smile.
Seeing Ma Bo's pleading look, Lin Mo slightly furrowed his eyebrows and said indifferently, "Alright, I'll go with you."
Ma Bo immediately said with respect, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Although Lin Mo wasn't particularly interested in the Divine Dragon Training Camp, Ma Bo wanted to send some people there.
Just as Lin Mo and Ma Bo were about to leave, Wu Yifan called out, "Boss, take us with you. We want to see the world too."
Lin Mo glanced at the three and frowned, "It's just a banquet. What's there to see?"
But Wu Yifan clung to Lin Mo's leg, pleading,
"Take us with you, boss. It might not be a big deal for you, but for us, it's precious."
Lin Mo was somewhat speechless and said lightly, "Okay then."
"Thank you, boss, thank you…"
Wu Yifan and the others continuously expressed their gratitude and then eagerly followed behind Lin Mo.
