Chapter 40: Beating Up Zhou Yi!

Ding—

Frenzied Dragon Power!

Although Zhou Yi was quite weak and significantly suppressed under Lin Yun's dragon might, she was still a Soul Emperor. Lin Yun showed due respect by using his first soul skill.

To be honest, this was his first time using a soul skill in battle.

A blood-red mist gradually spread from Lin Yun's body. Accompanied by the cracking sounds of bones shifting, his muscles swelled, revealing the well-defined lines of his biceps and eight-pack abs beneath his school uniform.

Rip!

King's Explosive Outfit!

As Lin Yun's sculpted, perfect physique was exposed to the air, he moved—like an arrow suddenly released from a taut bow, transforming into a golden lightning streak with a crimson afterglow.

Boom!

A massive dragon fist crashed into Zhou Yi's abdomen under her horrified gaze. It wasn't that she didn't want to dodge, but once Lin Yun locked onto her, she found herself completely unable to move.

It was as if even her martial soul was preventing her from evading the attack!

Intense pain spread from her abdomen. The overwhelming force bent her like a shrimp, sending her flying straight out, smashing through the window, and landing outside the classroom.

Fortunately, Class One of the new students was on the first floor; otherwise, Zhou Yi might have experienced free-fall firsthand.

Boom—

Lin Yun held his punching stance, his bulging muscles slightly tensed. His dazzling golden dragon claw, clenched into a fist, reflected a blinding brilliance.

The students in the class were all stunned, especially the girls. As freshmen, they were only around eleven or twelve years old—how could they have ever seen such a scene?

Lin Yun's testosterone-fueled, sculpted physique left them mesmerized. The more reserved ones quickly covered their eyes with both hands but peeked through their fingers, their cheeks flushed with excitement.

The bolder ones stared at Lin Yun with burning eyes, as if they wanted to pounce on him and cling to his body, caressing his muscles.

Meanwhile, the male students looked at Lin Yun, then glanced down at themselves.

On one side: a muscular hunk.

On the other: a skinny weakling.

Damn it!

Lin Yun ignored them. He exhaled a scorching breath, his face twisted into a grin, and leaped through the massive hole Zhou Yi had crashed through.

Calling me trash?

Alright, alright. Usually, it's us transmigrators looking down on you natives, but you're the first to dare challenge the Transmigrators' Gang.

How audacious.

Still dizzy from the impact, Zhou Yi suddenly felt a shadow loom over her. She dazedly lifted her head.

The mask she originally wore had long since fallen off from the punch, revealing a delicate and feminine face. However, due to Lin Yun's attack, her complexion was deathly pale, and pain flickered between her brows.

As she looked up, she saw Lin Yun's terrifying, grinning face.

The fearless Zhou Yi suddenly felt a strong sense of terror, instinctively crawling backward in an attempt to escape.

"Oh? Weren't you acting all high and mighty just now, huh, Teacher Zhou?"

Lin Yun moved instantly, his vicious dragon claw gripping Zhou Yi's chin, forcibly tilting her face toward him.

Meeting Lin Yun's golden, slit-pupiled eyes, Zhou Yi's fear intensified.

Her previous desire to discipline Lin Yun had completely vanished. That one punch shattered her illusions, but her pride wouldn't allow her to beg for mercy—especially not in front of a student!

Overwhelming shame and fury pushed down her fear. Her bloodshot eyes stared directly at Lin Yun.

"Let go of me!"

"Very good, I like that rebellious attitude. Keep it up!"

Lin Yun leaned back slightly in amusement, and the second purple soul ring on his arm lit up.

Frenzied Dragon Power, stacked with Golden Dragon Tyrant Body!

The hidden golden dragon markings on Lin Yun's body reappeared, and his bloodline pressure increased exponentially. At such a close distance, Zhou Yi's soul rings were forcibly suppressed and retracted.

Lin Yun's dragon claw tightened slightly, lifting the trembling Zhou Yi high into the air before tossing her upward.

At the same time, his third ten-thousand-year soul ring emitted a deep black light, merging into his dragon claw.

The moment the ten-thousand-year soul ring activated, the air around Lin Yun seemed to crackle and tear. The airflow surrounding his dragon claw compressed into small whirlpools, condensing under immense soul power.

Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear Soul Ring—Sky-Shattering Dragon Fist!

As Zhou Yi reached the highest point in the air and began to fall, Lin Yun's power peaked.

At that moment, the threat of death finally helped Zhou Yi break free from the suppression of Lin Yun's dragon might. Even as a Soul Emperor, she felt that the attack locked onto her was lethal!

Upon releasing her martial soul, Zhou Yi didn't counterattack. Instead, she layered all her soul skills in a desperate attempt to protect herself. Otherwise, she feared Lin Yun's punch would turn her into a mist of blood.

Lin Yun, on the other hand, had been waiting for Zhou Yi to defend herself. A Soul Emperor who couldn't even use her martial soul wouldn't be able to withstand his Sky-Shattering Dragon Fist.

Forget Zhou Yi—Ma Xiaotao wouldn't fare any better. There was a world of difference between fighting with a martial soul and without one.

Lin Yun only wanted to teach Zhou Yi a lesson, not kill her. Otherwise, no matter how talented he was, he wouldn't be able to truly infiltrate Shrek Academy. Shrek could tolerate students with strong personalities, but they wouldn't accept someone who dared to kill within their ranks.

Zhou Yi thought she had broken free with her own strength, but in reality, Lin Yun had deliberately restrained himself.

Watching as Zhou Yi ignited in flames midair, crimson scales appearing on her skin, and a red dragon's phantom emerging behind her, Lin Yun nodded in satisfaction. His right fist shot out.

The highly compressed air formed a cannon blast, producing a deafening explosion as it instantly reached Zhou Yi.

Her terrified gaze reflected the oncoming air cannon as it shattered her layered defenses and exploded against her body.

Boom!!!

"Ahhh!!"

A sharp scream pierced the sky as Zhou Yi was blasted far away. Lin Yun didn't bother tracking her trajectory, though he vaguely heard a splash.

"Well, whatever. That felt good!"

His dragon claw reverted to a normal hand, and he pulled a shirt from his soul tool, draping it over himself. Feeling refreshed, he clasped his hands behind his head and walked back toward the classroom.

Those two punches were well-measured.

They'd make Zhou Yi suffer but wouldn't cause serious harm—at most, a couple of broken bones. With healing-type Soul Masters around, it wasn't a big deal.

He refused to believe Shrek Academy would trouble him over this.

And his plan to deal with Zhou Yi...

Had only just begun.
