I Might Be A Fake Cultivator Chapter 897 – The Enlightened Students

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Ximen felt like he was in a ghost forest.

He had not seen a single student in all his time here, and it was becoming quite unsettling.

“Is this really the venue for the free-for-all battle?”

Tang Ximen flew on his sword with tightly furrowed brows. He felt like he had entered a fake trial.

On the White Stone Plaza, all the students gathered, of which there were already more than ten thousand, were already protesting loudly.

“We strongly insist that the teachers turn on the crystal screens!”

“That’s right! But we refuse to look at anyone else aside from the abhorrent Senior Student An Lin!”

“We’ll only watch God An! We want to see him slaughter everyone! Turn on the crystal screen!!!”

The cries of the students built to a crescendo over time.

The first-year students, who had just experienced their first-ever free-for-all battles, were the loudest of the bunch. They had entered the trial with boundless expectations and battle intent, only to be swept out by a bolt of lightning from An Lin… This was the worst trial experience they could have dreamed of! As such, they were extremely curious about just what this legendary figure was doing!

The collective voices of over ten thousand students placed immense pressure on the teacher responsible for operating the crystal screens.

He had no choice but to relay this situation to Vice-Principal Yu Hua.

What was surprising to him was that the principal agreed without needing any convincing. Furthermore, he also made a request to throw in as many close-up shots of An Lin’s victims being mercilessly crushed as possible.

The teacher’s lips twitched slightly. Was this principal a freak?

Thus, at the behest of countless students, the crystal screen was switched on in advance.

They saw the white-robed man that they had been dying to see. He appeared extremely elegant and harmless, but many students were already gritting their teeth in resentment.

That was him! Their collective nightmare!!!

An Lin flew through the air atop his brick over the northern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks at high speed. His handsome features remained expressionless, as if he were a mighty god looking down upon the ants of the world. He then snapped his fingers toward the sky.

Over a hundred bolts of devastating lightning fell from the sky.

On the crystal screen, over a hundred different images appeared at once. Some of the students howled in agony, some were running for their lives, while the rest were trying to keep the lightning at bay with all their strengths. However, the lightning was much more terrifying than they had anticipated, and it pierced through all obstructions before charring them black.

Thump thump thump…

One student after another fell to the ground with smoke rising from their bodies, and their eyes rolled over into the backs of their heads.

All of the students on the plaza who wanted to criticize An Lin had completely forgotten how to speak upon seeing this, and they all began to tremble involuntarily.

They were all reminded of the horror of being eradicated by An Lin’s lightning. This was an especially vivid recollection as if it only happened not too long ago!

An Lin was like a fiendcelestial, bringing slaughter and annihilation wherever he went. None of the students could offer any resistance, and they fell to a snap from An Lin’s fingers.

“Terrifying… This is way too terrifying…”

“Senior Student An Lin, I was wrong about you. I didn’t think you were such a cruel and merciless person!”

“Waah… God An, how could you treat your adorable fans like this?”

“I have post-traumatic stress disorder toward finger-snapping now! Don’t you guys dare to ever snap your fingers in front of me again!”

Right at this moment, an image suddenly came into focus.

“Look! There’s a person who wasn’t destroyed by the lightning!”

A student let loose a cry of surprise.

Everyone turned to see a man, whose body was slightly charred black, charging quickly toward An Lin before slicing An Lin in half with a blindingly fast strike of his sword!

“He won?”

“Well, he did… But only against a projection of Senior Student An Lin’s consciousness.”

“An Lin left! Has he acknowledged the strength of the senior student that has defeated him?”

“I remember that guy! He is Chen Shen from the Third-Year, Second Class, and also an entrant on the Immortal Rankings Board last year.”

Everyone looked up at the image of the powerful being who was panting heavily with a confident smile on his face, and they all fell into silence. That man struck such a scintillating figure…

They were complaining about An Lin’s transformation into a nightmarish figure and about how he was too cruel in what he was doing.

But they didn’t pause to think why everything had turned out like this.

It wasn’t because An Lin was too cruel, it was because they were all too weak!!!

So weak that they couldn’t even defend themselves against the lightning summoned by a snap of An Lin’s fingers. What right did they have to complain about his actions?

Some of the students had already attained enlightenment, and they hung their heads in shame.

“So that’s why… I understand God An’s painstaking efforts now. He has risked ruining his own reputation and irking all of his fellow students to teach us a valuable lesson. I understand now…” Tears welled up in a female student’s eyes, but she didn’t want to wipe them away as she didn’t want to lose sight of the man on the screen, not even for a split second.

A male student rammed his fists into the ground as he spoke through gritted teeth, “I’m so weak, but I’m blaming others instead of myself. I’m not fit to be called a true man!”

Many of the students on the plaza fell into deep thought, and the degree of dissatisfaction toward An Lin decreased significantly.

After inventing some logic and putting some words into An Lin’s mouth, some of the students felt an even more fervent admiration toward An Lin. They had officially leveled up from ordinary fans to true love fans.

One herd of students after another was eliminated.

An Lin swept through the northern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks before deciding to carry on toward the eastern direction. As for the central region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, An Lin decided to save that until last. He would make a lap of the entire Forest of One-Thousand Peaks before closing in on the central region.

Tang Ximen had been following behind An Lin the entire time, and he was in complete and utter despair as he hadn’t encountered even a single student up to this point!

“What can I do? There’s no one in the northern region either… Should I head east or the central region next?” Tang Ximen’s expression was quite lost.

Theoretically speaking, there should be more people in the central region, but this trial is way too bizarre, so he had to think outside of the box. As such…

Tang Ximen turned toward the eastern direction with a smile on his face.

The east was the way to go!!

In the meantime, An Lin was still engaged in his terrifying killing spree, sweeping away all obstacles like an invincible god.

The population of students on the White Stone Plaza continued to expand, and it had only been less than one day, but their population had already exceeded forty thousand.

After cleaning up the eastern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, An Lin set forth for the central region.

Tang Ximen finally encountered his first enemy in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, and he was almost moved to the point of tears. He almost hugged them to express his gratitude toward the student for showing up before him!

However, the student seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying. The student fled into the distance via sword kinesis flight without even looking at Tang Ximen.

Tang Ximen: “…”

Boom!

Right at this moment, the enveloped barrier around the entire Forest of One-Thousand Peaks began to contract.

This should have taken place on the third day, but now it was being set into motion on the first day.

None of the students knew what to say anymore.

“My God! Senior Student An Lin was able to make the enchantment barrier contract two days in advance through his own strength!”

“Sigh… When will I ever be as exceptional as God An?”

“I don’t have such high hopes. I just want to be one percent as exceptional as God An!”

“I don’t have high hopes either. I just want to be Senior Student An Lin’s girlfriend!”

“Oi, that daydreaming female student over there, quit dreaming about impossible things!”

…

Within the central region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, the bright moon and stars had appeared over the night sky.

Atchoo!

A woman in a jade dress suddenly sneezed.

Hmm? Is An Lin thinking about me?

A faint smile appeared on her face as a series of dark shadows emerged beside her.

Come here quickly, I’ve got a surprise waiting for you…
