You Are Sick

Tang Yuxin opened her watery eyes, unable to contain her excitement. She eagerly pulled Wang Menglu's arm and exclaimed, "Horn won! Horn really defeated Su Cheng!"

Wang Menglu, astonished, felt a significant shift in her impression of Horn. It was clear that Horn's ability to easily defeat Su Cheng indicated a cultivation realm in the Innate Realm, surpassing the Qi Condensation realm.

In the Immortal Martial Academy in Linzhou, teachers like Zhang Wenxiong and Sun Mei were considered formidable Innate Realm powerhouses. Horn's audacity to step onto the life-and-death platform suddenly made sense—he wasn't foolish, but rather supremely confident in his strength.

Wang Menglu took a deep breath, relieved that her best friend had finally found the right person. To achieve the Innate Realm at such a young age promised limitless prospects for the future.

Unaware of Horn's true age, Wang Menglu believed him to be around the same age as Tang Yuxin, oblivious to his two-thousand-year tenure in the Immortal World.

"Teacher Zhang, are you unfamiliar with the rules of the life-and-death platform?" Wang Menglu questioned calmly, addressing the fuming Zhang Wenxiong. "Do you intend to violate these rules? The dean has made it clear that anyone who breaks them will be mercilessly dealt with."

Tang Yuxin, having regained her composure, added, "Teacher Zhang, knowingly committing such an offense would jeopardize your standing in the academy. Do you really want to break the rules?"

Zhang Wenxiong clenched his fists, the tension audible in the squeaking sounds they produced. In the midst of a public spectacle, any attempt to attack Horn could tarnish his reputation within the academy.

The discussions among the students intensified. Su Cheng's popularity was undeniable, having defeated numerous formidable opponents with his Fierce Tiger Fist. In a kingdom where access to combat skills was limited, even Rank One combat skills were considered a luxury.

The altercation had drawn the attention of the onlookers, and the air was charged with anticipation.

"Brother Cheng—"

Zhang Ya, finally coming to her senses, shouted with a ferocious expression. Having spent a considerable amount of time with Su Cheng and even sharing an intimate relationship with him, witnessing her fiancé being stepped on and his head exploding was something she couldn't accept.

"Mom and Dad, hurry up and kill this bastard!" she screamed. "I want him to be buried with Brother Cheng!"

Zhang Ya had lost control of her emotions.

Horn, still on the life-and-death platform, remained indifferent, seemingly unaffected by the chaos unfolding around him.

Observing the situation, Zhang Wenxiong and Sun Mei exchanged glances, silently agreeing to join forces and take down Horn at any cost. A powerful momentum instantly enveloped the entire square.

"Zhang Wenxiong, Sun Mei, do you want to die? I can help you!" a voice declared.

A beautiful figure appeared mysteriously beneath the life-and-death platform.

"Dean Lin!" Tang Yuxin and Wang Menglu exclaimed respectfully upon seeing the visitor.

The person in question was Lin Zixuan, the current dean of Linzhou Immortal Martial Academy. Dressed in a purple gown, she exuded a mature charm that captivated the attention of all male students present.

"Dean!" Zhang Wenxiong and Sun Mei suppressed their hostility, dissipating their auras as they greeted Lin Zixuan respectfully. They dared not be presumptuous in front of her.

Several years prior, when Lin Zixuan first arrived at the academy, a vice-dean had attempted to force her to leave. However, that person was swiftly dealt with by Lin Zixuan, discouraging any dissent against her. In the past two years, Zhang Wenxiong's father had been plotting ways to bring down Lin Zixuan.

"Why don't you take action?" Zhang Wenxiong protested.

"The rules of the life-and-death stage were set by the first president of the college, and no one can violate them," Lin Zixuan replied calmly. "I understand that Su Cheng is your future son-in-law, but if he chooses to step onto the stage of life and death and compete with others, you must be mentally prepared."

"This matter ends here. Do you two understand?" Lin Zixuan looked at Zhang Wenxiong and Sun Mei with indifference.

"I don't accept it!" Zhang Ya, overwhelmed with anger, shouted, "Horn is a waste! What qualifications does he have to kill my brother Cheng? I must cut him into pieces with my own hands!"

Zhang Wenxiong and Sun Mei attempted to stop Zhang Ya, but before they could make any move, Lin Zixuan's right hand waved lightly in the air.

A snap echoed, and a burst of energy hit Zhang Ya's face, leaving the left half bloody. In severe pain, she screamed heartbreakingly, "Ah~"

Lin Zixuan's lips curled into a slight smile. "Say what you said again."

Zhang Wenxiong and Sun Mei immediately pulled Zhang Ya behind them, apologizing profusely to Lin Zixuan.

Horn, originally planning to deal with Zhang Wenxiong's family, recognized Lin Zixuan. After his infinite purple pupils were dug out, his uncle's family left him in a dark alley to die. Lin Zixuan, passing by, had saved his life and brought him to a nearby hospital. The fragrance he smelled then matched the one on Lin Zixuan now.

"You come with me," Lin Zixuan instructed Horn.

She also recognized Horn as the man she had casually rescued two years ago. At the time, she had checked Horn's body and determined that he would be unable to embark on the path of cultivation again in this lifetime.

When Su Cheng took action on the life-and-death stage, Lin Zixuan had already appeared nearby. Throughout the entire ordeal, there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on Horn's body, not even a hint of Qi Refining. This peculiar circumstance puzzled her.

Curious about how Horn could practice and achieve such progress in just two years, Lin Zixuan decided to speak with him privately. Tang Yuxin and Wang Menglu, initially relieved by the dean's presence, grew nervous when they saw her approaching Horn.

"It's okay, I'll be right back!" Horn assured Tang Yuxin. In a jesting manner, he added, "Are you still afraid that your dean will fall in love with me?" Tang Yuxin hurriedly covered Horn's mouth, casting a wary glance at Lin Zixuan.

The Zhang Wenxiong family sneered secretly, remembering a past incident where a teacher had faced severe consequences for attempting to take advantage of Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zixuan did hear Horn's words, a momentary look of sullenness crossing her face. However, suppressing her anger, she turned without addressing the comment and said, "Follow me quickly!"

In the eyes of everyone present, Horn followed Lin Zixuan. Despite the initial surprise and anticipation, it became apparent that Lin Zixuan had no intention of taking any immediate action.

The two walked to a secluded path near the square, away from prying eyes. Lin Zixuan turned around, ready to inquire about the mysteries surrounding Horn.

Serious and straightforward, Horn spoke first, "You are sick!"
