Looking at the bloody arm in Zhao Chen's hand, and then at Xuan Zi, who collapsed on the ground with both sleeves empty, everyone was stunned for a moment, as no one expected Zhao Chen to also be a ruthless character.
That forceful pulling movement just now was crisp and neat, without the slightest hesitation.
Xuan Zi let out a wail, the sound quite shrill. The pain of having a broken arm was not as intense as when he was repeatedly blown apart and regenerated by Lin Feng.
The pain at that time was bone-piercing, a tearing sensation where every death was amplified dozens of times. However, no matter how many times he died, Xuan Zi's strength was not lost, but now it was different.
His left arm also had a Spirit Bone, so when this arm was torn off by Zhao Chen, Xuan Zi's entire Spirit Power dropped from level eighty-eight to level seventy-eight.
How long had it been?
Not long ago, he was still the lofty Gluttonous Douluo of Shrek Academy, but first one arm was crippled, then he lost ten levels of Spirit Power respectively, and now he had even become an armless person. No matter how powerful his Spirit was, what was the use?
A Spirit Saint without both arms could not even compare to an ordinary Spirit Saint. Today's Xuan Zi could be said to be no different from trash, something the usually arrogant Xuan Zi simply couldn't accept.
Xuan Zi's face was full of despair and anger at this moment. His life had been destroyed just like that, destroyed by this damned Shrek Academy.
He had Cultivated for such a long time in his life, finally Cultivating to level ninety-eight, and finally only a hair's breadth away from level ninety-nine. But... now it was all destroyed, and the sky had collapsed for Xuan Zi entirely.
All the current Xuan Zi could do was let out wail after wail.
Originally, when Xuan Zi lost an arm and dropped to level eighty-eight, he still held a sliver of the thought that a blessing in disguise might come out of misfortune.
After all, this Shrek Academy intended to give the rewards to outsiders; it was enough as long as he defeated those bottom-ten ranked ones. And after obtaining those rewards, Xuan Zi thought he should have enough foundation to become stronger.
But Xuan Zi didn't expect that his step had been wrong after all. It could be said that he tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it; Xuan Zi truly Regretted his past actions.
Elder Mu, I have failed you!
At this moment, Xuan Zi thought of the deceased Mu En again. Originally, in Xuan Zi's plan, there was also the idea of resurrecting Mu En. After all, Mu En was his Junior Martial Uncle, how could he not have any feelings for him?
However, he had gained nothing, lost his only remaining arm, and was no longer the calming pillar of Shrek Academy in Mu En's eyes.
Thinking of this, Xuan Zi's heart was once again filled with resentment towards Bei Bei. If it weren't for Bei Bei, he could have had two arms! It was all Bei Bei's fault!
Just when Xuan Zi's mind was full of Regret and unwillingness, Lin Feng's voice sounded indifferently.
"Challenge failed."
As soon as these words were spoken, a beam of light landed on Xuan Zi, and the next moment Xuan Zi's figure directly disappeared from the competition stage, just like when Xuan Zi first appeared.
Everyone watching this scene through the light screen fell into silence once again. They could be considered to have witnessed firsthand the strength of this Shrek Academy; even the absolute last place was not something an ordinary Spirit Master could defeat.
In the Divine Realm, Tang San was also watching everything happening before him through the light screen. His brow furrowed involuntarily, and those blue eyes were filled with complexity.
He truly didn't expect that this fellow Lin Feng was also a character with quite ruthless methods.
Within that short span of time, Xuan Zi had experienced dozens of deaths and Rebirths. That kind of method wasn't something an ordinary person would easily use.
After all, this kind of method was simply too painful for humans, completely challenging the baseline of humanity. Even deities wouldn't do such a thing to their enemies during battle.
They would basically make a decisive end to their enemies, rather than doing such an inhumane thing.
Originally, Tang San thought Lin Feng was a genuinely good person.
After all, Lin Feng founded such a Shrek Academy, and so many resources inside were almost given away for free.
Those students didn't even need to pay anything, not even an application fee.
You must know that when Tang San himself originally applied to Shrek Academy, he still spent 10 gold coins, and that didn't even count the tuition.
After enrolling later, various expenses were endless. If one wanted to get better resources, they all had to rely on their own hard work to obtain them.
But what about this Shrek Academy in the Sky?
Let alone the application fee, after you enroll, the academy would also give you a fair amount of gold coins for daily expenses.
This could simply be said to be completely doing charity.
Tang San originally thought that someone willing to take out so many resources to Cultivate younger generations should at least be a broad-minded person who didn't care about gains and losses.
But looking at it now, Lin Feng was also a petty fellow.
Xuan Zi merely offended him with words a few times, yet he was repeatedly tortured dozens of times, and in the end, his arms were crippled, reducing him to an absolute cripple.
Such methods could certainly be called ruthless.
Thinking of this, Tang San could not help recalling some things from his original plan.
In the Valley of Qiankun Asking Love, he originally also intended to constantly torture Huo Yuhao, letting him experience continuous death and Rebirth, so as to temper his will and by the way let himself see where this fellow's limit was.
It was just that after all, that was only Tang San's own idea and had not yet been put into practice, so naturally it didn't count.
As for Lin Feng, he had already truly put it into practice, and now Xuan Zi had his arms crippled, completely reduced to a waste.
Tang San wouldn't believe that Zhao Chen's final pull had no instigation from Lin Feng.
Zhao Chen was merely a junior with five rings. No matter how bold he was, it was impossible for him to execute such a ruthless move against Xuan Zi in full view of the public. You must know that Xuan Zi had been famous for a long time after all, and Zhao Chen was just an ordinary student; he shouldn't have such cruel thoughts.
Behind all this, Lin Feng's shadow was cast.
Viewed this way, things were a bit tricky.
If Lin Feng was a kind-hearted person, then Tang San had plenty of ways to deal with him. After all, kind people were the easiest to exploit, especially those with relatively clean minds, such as anyone among the five God Kings except the God of Evil.
Tang San could win them over to his side with his personal charm. Right now, the God of Destruction was still a loner after all.
However... looking at Lin Feng's performance, the other party was obviously a fellow with heaven-reaching abilities who also sought revenge for every slight. Such a person was the most troublesome.
If only he could be like that old poison Dugu Bo.
It would be best if he had something on himself that could grant him a favor. In that case, Lin Feng might also hand over resources to himself just like Dugu Bo, letting him pluck them at will.
However... how troublesome. Tang San's gaze continued to fall on Lin Feng. Why couldn't the dean of this Shrek Academy be himself?
In that case, he could control all the resources.
The heavens favored others after all, letting Lin Feng possess so many resources. Tang San's heart was filled with jealousy.
Consciousness of the Douluo Continent plane, is this your countermeasure?
A path to certain death!
