That day, Kou Yingquan recalled the fear of being dominated by a little lamb.

The same cries for mercy, the same sinister eyes!

The difference was that last time, Lu Ran was "crying on the face, calling out with a stool".

But this time, Lu Ran held a real deal in his hand—the Silent Night Blade!

"Don't look! Don't look into his eyes!!"

Below the stage, Wu Shanshan hastily shouted, reminding Kou Yingquan.

However, it was already too late!

How fast was Lu Ran?

Overwhelmed with fear, Kou Yingquan couldn't hear the cries from below; he panicked and retreated, swinging his hand subconsciously.

"Whoosh~"

The hem of the Big Red Robe fluttered fiercely forward.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the rapidly advancing Lu Ran suddenly came to a sharp stop!

Even for the sake of the audience below the stage, Lu Ran stepped continuously, pretending to brake hard.

In reality, amid the dense fog, Lu Ran's feet were already cushioned by a layer of waves.

He could have stopped abruptly!

But Lu Ran did not. He controlled the distance exquisitely, braking while stopping in front of Kou Yingquan.

"Ah!!" Kou Yingquan screamed in terror, his body shivering.

Because, in the moment when the hem of the Big Red Robe fluttered past, Lu Ran's figure was revealed.

Those same sinister, horizontal pupils!

Kou Yingquan felt as if he was in a graveyard with chilly winds, like he had come to a skeletal hell.

"Fuck!"

"Ah!!"

"This, this motherfucker…" The people on the stage were terrified, and those below trembled in fear as well.

Some students intimidated by Lu Ran had their fears amplified.

For a moment, the audience on the right side of the stage was in chaos.

"No, don't, no..."

With a fearful pallor, Kou Yingquan's voice trembled as he hurriedly leapt backward.

The Big Red Robe moved on its own, as if to carry its master away from this disputable place.

The River Grade·Blood Slaughter Robe, which could give its owner the ability to fly.

At this moment, Kou Yingquan, terrified by a pair of Dead Sheep Eyes, instinctively wanted to retreat and get as far from Lu Ran as possible!

"Zi—"

Lu Ran's Immortal Hoof surged again, suddenly lunging forward.

"Be careful!"

"The leg! The leg is going to be cut off...ah?"

People watched as Lu Ran closed in on Kou Yingquan, convinced that the Black Luminous Stone Blade would chop at Kou Yingquan's leg.

But Lu Ran's choice once again surprised everyone.

They heard a crisp "snap!"

Lu Ran grasped Kou Yingquan's ankle tightly.

Kou Yingquan, flying backward and upward, was suddenly caught.

Just when everyone thought they were about to wrestle, Lu Ran's Immortal Hoof surged again!

"Zi—"

Lu Ran, holding Kou Yingquan in mid-air, suddenly darted to one side.

In the blink of an eye, they had darted more than 20 meters!

"Running?"

With a great surge of momentum, Lu Ran forcefully swung Kou Yingquan downward.

"Boom!"

The specially reinforced stage split into pieces, and Kou Yingquan was embedded into it!

"Crashed… crashed?"

"This really opened my eyes, what kind of fighting style is this?"

"Maybe it's the Express Delivery style..."

"No! Kou Yingquan is at least six feet tall, big and burly, and just like that, he's being… cough, played with by Lu Ran?"

"Stop it!!"

Among a burst of exclamations, Lu Ran's movements were seamless. He thrust his knife downwards.

Kou Yingquan couldn't react in time, his eyes widening in fright!

A sense of extreme danger made Kou Yingquan's face ashen, as if in a near-death state, the entire world seemed to slow down...

Am I going to die?

"Zi!"

The sharp blade brushed past Kou Yingquan's ear, sinking deep into the surface of the platform.

As he stabbed with the knife, Lu Ran also dropped to one knee.

To be exact, he fiercely thrust his knee into Kou Yingquan's chest.

With a crisp "snap!"

Lu Ran bent down sharply, pressing one hand harshly on Kou Yingquan's face.

Through his fingers, Lu Ran's sinister horizontal pupils, like sharp knives, pierced directly into Kou Yingquan's terrified eyes.

"Don't kill me," Lu Ran whispered as he leaned down.

Though these words begged for mercy, they sounded like a demon's murmur.

Lu Ran seemed to be helping Kou Yingquan remember something.

And Lu Ran's fingers also helped focus Kou Yingquan's eyes only on those cold Dead Sheep Eyes.

In extreme fear, Kou Yingquan had lost the ability to think.

He seemed to have forgotten he still had the power to fight, even having forgotten his own Divine Technique.

"Don't… don't kill me." Kou Yingquan's voice trembled, his face being pressed down so hard by Lu Ran that he could barely shake his head.

A person's mental will can be likened to a dam.

At this moment, Kou Yingquan's dam was covered in cracked lines, eventually burst by the raging torrent, irretrievable!

"I am wrong," Lu Ran murmured.

"I am wrong, I'm… crying… I am wrong, please… don't..."

Kou Yingquan's face was deathly pale, pleading incessantly.

The desperation in his voice was pitiable, filled with the tone of crying, rendering the onlookers dumbfounded.

The Blood Slaughter Robe on Kou Yingquan quietly vanished, and his Water Armor rapidly dissolved.

This was not done intentionally by him, but in a state of panic, he completely lost the ability to maintain his Divine Technique.

"Whistle—"

A whistle abruptly sounded, and a teacher called a halt to the match.

Lu Ran withdrew the Silent Night Blade from the platform and slowly stood up.

Below, Kou Yingquan scrambled backward in a most undignified manner.

His only thought was to flee from that terrifying demon...

"First battle, Lu Ran wins!"

The male teacher announced in a high voice, his expression complex as he looked at Lu Ran.

This duel, from start to finish, had not seen a drop of blood.

Even Kou Yingquan's dual-layer defenses had not been breached.

But Lu Ran had seized the opponent's weaknesses, crushing the enemy completely on mental and psychological levels.

The Divine Technique of the Immortal Sheep faction was indeed formidable!

When Immortal Sheep Believers are no longer soft, timid, or avoiding battle, such Believers are truly terrifying...

"Swoosh~~"

Suddenly, a surge of energy stirred, and countless water droplets diffused.

Under the sunlight, the droplets sparkled crystal clear, suspended in mid-air.

Oddly enough, flows of water also gathered to form, albeit the outlines were blurry, one could make out the shape of a "dragon".

Ashar Divine Skill·Azure Dragon Sea Domain!

This skill was quite a rare Domain-type Divine Technique!

Within the roaming range of the Azure Dragon, all abnormal statuses would be purified, and the caster could gather and perceive all information within the Domain.

"Woo... Ah..." Not far away, Kou Yingquan was tearfully rolling and crawling.

A slender Azure Dragon swiftly swam towards his body and coiled around him.

Below the platform, Wu Shanshan raised one hand, continuing to cast spells while turning her head to look at Lu Ran.

Her face showed displeasure as this was her first time facing Lu Ran openly, and she said bitterly:

"You went too far!"

"Everything has a cause and effect," Lu Ran spoke softly.

Wu Shanshan's face was angry, and she stared intently at Lu Ran.

Believers of the Second-class God·Ash indeed had the pride to boast.

Wu Shanshan, surrounded by a slender Azure Dragon, was not afraid of Lu Ran's chilling horizontal pupils.

Lu Ran: "Are you coming out now to play judge?"

Wu Shanshan sharply said: "Is there really such a big grudge?"

Lu Ran nodded slightly: "My father died in battle protecting Rain Alley; he was an honored fallen warrior.

Kou Yingquan, however, said in class that the son of a rat will gnaw holes.

He said, since I could invite Evil Demons, how did my dad really die?"

Wu Shanshan opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.

Lu Ran: "Why did all this happen?

Just to satisfy his sense of superiority, to randomly bully and humiliate an Immortal Sheep Believer and show off his power.

You don't know, Kou Yingquan was very highly regarded!

He is a strong Prisoner Demon Believer; when he charged at me, at that time in class, besides Jiang Ruyi, no one dared to stop him.

So, you've jumped out now to stop me?"

Wu Shanshan's face was stiff, and she clenched her fists tightly.

"Enough!" a male teacher said sternly, "Lu Ran, return to your team immediately!"

Lu Ran glanced at Wu Shanshan, jumped down from the platform, and walked back to his team's position.

Along the way, the students made way for him.

On the platform, Kou Yingquan still sat with tears and snot covering his face, his expression blank.

Even with the Azure Dragon's protection, he had not completely escaped the nightmare constructed from those Dead Sheep Eyes.

Perhaps every time he saw Lu Ran in the future, he would recall this intense psychological shadow...

"Lu Ran." The class teacher Li Yanzhu came up to Lu Ran, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Hmm? Teacher?"

"You know, Kou Yingquan was suspended from classes for a long time, and I also called his parents in for a harsh warning.

His family repeatedly assured the school that similar incidents would not occur again.

After comprehensive consideration by the school, he has been kept on probation..."

"Mm-hmm." Lu Ran nodded.

This matter could be referred to as a simple student fight, or as disrespecting the honor of the fallen.

However, with such a small population in Rain Alley City and so few students, a third-class God believer is precious and can meet academic enrollment targets.

The school wouldn't easily give up on him.

Li Yanzhu sighed softly, patted Lu Ran's shoulder again: "No matter what, you were wronged."

"Not really," Lu Ran chuckled, "Didn't I just shove the leg of a stool into his mouth?

Teacher, your keen insight merely gave me a punishment to stand, allowing me to participate in the team formation in time."

Li Yanzhu patted Lu Ran's shoulder and walked away.

Lu Ran silently raised his head, looking towards the platform, watching Kou Yingquan being helped away, his dejected manner.

"Brother Lu." Deng Yutang came up, throwing an arm around Lu Ran's shoulder.

"Hmm?"

"I blame myself for not helping you back then," Deng Yutang apologized.

"Didn't you catch me? Otherwise, I would have hit the desk," Lu Ran shook his head, "Besides, we weren't familiar with each other then."

Hearing this, Deng Yutang found it reasonable and nodded: "That's true.

You were always cozy with Jiang, and didn't have time to get to know the other boys in class."

Lu Ran: "..."
