"Teacher Qi Lin!"
Behind the big tree, Zhu Zhuqing, seeing Shi Nian preparing to attack Huo Wu in a fit of rage, immediately tugged at Qi Lin's clothes.
Qi Lin smiled and nodded, then walked out from behind the big tree with Zhu Zhuqing.
Clap, clap, clap!
Clapping his hands, Qi Lin teased, "How truly wonderful!"
"Who is it!"
Hearing this voice, both Huo Wu, who was preparing for a desperate struggle, and Shi Nian, who was about to drag Huo Wu into a nightmare and torture her, paused simultaneously, then suddenly looked in the direction of Qi Lin and Zhu Zhuqing.
The moment he saw Qi Lin and Zhu Zhuqing, Shi Nian's wrinkled old face immediately changed color.
There wasn't a single team participating in the Spirit Master Tournament that didn't research Qi Lin.
Qi Lin's information was quite mysterious in the eyes of other forces, especially his strength.
Although it was rumored that he was an Auxiliary Soul Master, no one treated him as an ordinary Auxiliary Soul Master.
After all, the Soul Power Training Method he created could allow Auxiliary Soul Masters to unleash combat power no weaker than that of an attack system Spirit Master.
However, Qi Lin's true strength was rarely known.
No one knew his specific strength, but being able to serve as a teacher for the Heaven Dou Academy team meant his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
After all, if he didn't possess strength far superior to the team members, what right did he have to be the team's teacher?
Therefore, Shi Nian's gaze towards Qi Lin was filled with apprehension.
Not only because he couldn't see through Qi Lin's strength, but also because Qi Lin had followed him all the way without him noticing anything.
Compared to Shi Nian, Huo Wu's face was replaced with surprise, and she excitedly called out, "Teacher Qi Lin!"
She had heard of Qi Lin's great name for a long time. If it weren't for Shi Nian's attack on Yu Tianheng some time ago, which caused all the teams to be on edge, she might have already visited Heaven Dou Academy.
Huo Wu also didn't expect to meet Qi Lin in such a way.
Qi Lin looked at Huo Wu's excited gaze, which felt like a fan meeting her idol, and couldn't help but smile gently and wave at her.
"Don't worry, with me here, he can't hurt you!"
Shi Nian's eyes flickered with cold killing intent; he knew that this matter wouldn't be easily resolved today.
Now that they knew he was the murderer of Yu Tianheng, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would not let him off once the news spread.
A centipede may be dead, but it never falls!
Although Yu Yuanzhen was dead, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was still not something he could contend with.
So...
No sooner said than done!
Shi Nian instantly attacked, his target precisely Qi Lin.
As long as Qi Lin was dealt with, the other two were nothing to worry about.
It would simply be a matter of killing them and then fleeing to another land. After all, the Douluo Continent was so vast, surely there would be a place for him?
If worst came to worst, he could even escape into Slaughter City!
In an instant, Shi Nian had already planned his retreat and, at the first opportunity, possessed his Spirit, intending to drag Qi Lin into a nightmare.
However, facing Shi Nian's methods, Qi Lin merely smiled with a hint of disdain.
Even for a Spirit Saint of the same level, if their mental force wasn't strong enough, they would still fall victim to Shi Nian's methods.
But for Qi Lin, this was undoubtedly like teaching a fish to swim.
Shi Nian's illusion had just landed on Qi Lin's body, but the next second, his face drastically changed, a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spurted from his mouth, and his head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, causing excruciating pain.
Shi Nian clutched his head with both hands, howling towards the sky, letting out an extremely mournful wail.
Nothing else, this was mental backlash!
Illusions are essentially mental attacks, and although Shi Nian, with the blessing of his head Spirit Bone, far surpassed ordinary Spirit Saints, compared to Qi Lin, he was undoubtedly a firefly compared to a bright moon, utterly vulnerable.
In Zhuqing's eyes, Qi Lin was like an omnipotent being, so she wasn't surprised by this scene.
Huo Wu, on the other hand, was full of excitement, her eyes flashing with admiration.
"Teacher Qi Lin is so amazing. This old immortal from Canghui Academy is no match for Teacher Qi Lin at all."
Shi Nian endured the pain, gritting his teeth and saying, "You...how could your mental force be so powerful? Who exactly are you!"
He absolutely refused to believe that a fourteen-year-old boy could possess such terrifying mental force.
Qi Lin ignored Shi Nian's questioning.
How could a frog at the bottom of a well know the vastness of heaven and earth?
Qi Lin waved his hand casually, and a golden glow surged towards Shi Nian.
When the golden glow dissipated, Shi Nian's figure also turned into a cloud of ashes, vanishing into thin air.
"So...so strong!"
Huo Wu stared blankly at the scene before her, only one thought remaining in her mind.
She wanted to transfer, to Heaven Dou Academy, and study under Teacher Qi Lin as well.
No, not just studying!
Huo Wu's eyes flickered with fanaticism and admiration, and her graceful body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
On the way back, besides expressing her gratitude, Huo Wu's attitude towards Qi Lin was so enthusiastic that even Qi Lin felt a bit overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The Blazing Academy members were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Since Huo Wu had not returned for a long time, it quickly caught their attention, but they searched all around the Great Spirit Arena and couldn't find any trace of her.
After some inquiries, they finally got some news about Huo Wu.
However, this was not good news!
After all, why would Huo Wu leave the city for no reason?
Recalling the assassination of Yu Tianheng recently, the expressions of the Blazing Academy members were very solemn.
Huo Wushuang was even more self-reproachful, raising his hand and slapping himself twice fiercely.
"It's all my fault. If I had stopped my sister when she said she was going for a walk, this wouldn't have happened."
"That's enough, Wushuang, don't blame yourself. Who would have thought that madman would actually dare to make a move near the Great Spirit Arena?"
"The top priority now is to find Xiao Wu first."
A middle-aged man with fiery red hair said in a deep voice.
He was the dean of Blazing Academy, and also Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's father.
Although he was also very anxious now, he knew that the more critical the moment, the calmer one needed to be.
Just as the Blazing Academy members were about to rush out of the city, one of them suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed in surprise, "Huo...Huo Wu!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's gaze immediately turned to where he was pointing, and sure enough, they saw Huo Wu walking towards them with a young man and woman.
"It's really the vice-captain!"
"Sister!"
Huo Wushuang hurried over.
While the dean of Blazing Academy breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze turned to Qi Lin, who had returned with Huo Wu.
He naturally recognized Qi Lin's identity, which led him to a guess about Huo Wu's safe return.
Clearly, Qi Lin had saved Huo Wu!
Huo Wu saw the worried expression on Huo Wushuang's face and, recalling what had just happened, her face filled with lingering fear.
Turning her head, Huo Wu's gaze lingered on Qi Lin's profile for a moment, and besides gratitude, her eyes also flashed with the feeling of having survived a great calamity.
She had almost... truly died out there!
