"Run! It’s going to explode!"
The scorching blast wave swept in from the direction of the kitchen. Hao Jianhua, who was sitting closest to the kitchen, hadn’t even reacted before he was pulled out by a huge force!
"What are you standing around for? Run!"
Lin Beichen grabbed Hao Jianhua by the collar and lifted his heavy body like a chick, running out.
Perhaps because of their previous experiences, the students of Imperial Capital University, who had been through many ordeals, had developed a certain "immunity" to such sudden events.
Even though the flames were closing in fast, not a single one of them looked towards the nearby elevator; they all ran uniformly towards the safety exit.
"Why is this door locked!"
The student running at the front found the fire escape door locked, panic spreading across his already anxious face.
The emergency exit was their last hope, but now they were watching that hope turn into despair!
"What do we do! I don’t want to die!"
"Yeah, I haven’t even gotten married!"
"I haven’t won the heart of my goddess!"
...
...
The boys kept cursing, while the girls had long been reduced to tears of fear.
Meanwhile, Griffin sat in a van, coldly staring in the direction of the F floor of the Atlantis Hotel.
"I’ve heard the hotel has already called the police. The fire department will be here in less than ten minutes!"
Griffin’s face flashed with coldness upon hearing Hei Yi’s words, as if he had made some decision.
"Make arrangements. I don’t want the fire trucks to arrive in under ten minutes!"
"What did you say?"
Hei Yi’s face was filled with disbelief.
"This is our own hotel!"
Most of the residents in the Atlantis Hotel were their own people. Even though a floor had been entirely allocated to the students from Imperial Capital University, if the fire continued to spread, the residents of Atlantis would also be in danger.
Hei Yi was convinced Griffin understood this better than anyone.
"Even if some people die, it doesn’t matter. Lin Beichen must not leave here alive!"
Griffin’s face contorted as he spoke, looking like a demon emerging from Hell.
Hei Yi opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
He knew that the name Lin Beichen had become Griffin’s Heart Demon.
"I can only try to arrange it."
Even though Hei Yi was extremely reluctant, he dared not disobey any of Griffin’s orders. He knew Griffin’s methods of punishing his subordinates better than anyone.
"Let’s see how you escape today!"
Griffin’s gaze shifted towards the F floor, eyes filled with cold malice.
By this time, Lin Beichen had already dragged Hao Jianhua to the front of the fire door. Unlike ordinary anti-theft doors, the materials used for the fire door’s density and the thickness of the door itself far exceeded what’s known as anti-theft doors.
"All of you move aside!"
Lin Beichen shouted loudly to the classmates blocking in front.
The few classmates who had previous quarrels with Lin Beichen immediately shouted back in dissatisfaction.
"Now you want to cut in line?"
"If you don’t want to die, then get out of my way now!"
The situation was critical; Lin Beichen didn’t want to waste more time with them.
His fierce gaze swept over their faces. The moment their eyes met Lin Beichen’s, the classmates felt as if they were being stared at by a cold venomous snake.
This deep-seated fear made them automatically clear a path. Lin Beichen followed the path to the fire door.
Lin Beichen placed his hand on the fire door and gently closed his eyes.
Seeing Lin Beichen’s actions, even in their crisis, some people couldn’t help but sneer.
"Do you think you can open this door..."
Crack... crack crack crack...
The sound of shattering reverberated in their ears.
Every student looked incredulously at the fire door, which instantly burst open before their eyes.
"Why are you still standing there! Run!"
Lin Beichen urged his classmates to leave quickly. Hao Jianhua came up beside Lin Beichen and grabbed his arm.
"You should leave too, hurry!"
"I’ll only go after you all have left."
Lin Beichen’s face showed rare seriousness, his eyes filled with determination.
"Be careful!"
Hao Jianhua patted Lin Beichen on the shoulder and turned to lead the students downstairs.
Just as they disappeared, a cold voice reached Lin Beichen’s ears.
"I didn’t expect you to be so loyal. Are you planning to sacrifice yourself to keep us here?"
Out of the flames walked five black men, the leading one with a star marking between his eyebrows.
Lin Beichen felt he had seen this mark before but couldn’t recall where.
"Do you think the five of you useless people can keep me here?"
Lin Beichen smiled slightly, as if hearing the world’s funniest joke.
The flames around them grew even more intense, beginning to engulf Lin Beichen and the others.
But neither the five black men nor Lin Beichen seemed to notice, as if the surrounding flames were irrelevant.
"I didn’t count on just the five of us to keep you here."
The leader of the black men smiled slightly, then his lips curved into a playful grin.
"I think just one of me is enough!"
As he spoke, the black man rushed towards Lin Beichen, gray energy vaguely appearing in his hands.
"This feeling..."
Lin Beichen slightly frowned. For a moment he felt something, but it vanished almost instantaneously.
In the moment Lin Beichen snapped out of it, the black man’s fist was already flying towards him.
Lin Beichen activated the power of the Gold Element and used the Baji Lean technique to crash into the man’s body.
The moment his body made contact, Lin Beichen felt as if he had hit a wall.
Although the black man was knocked flying, the strange sensation left Lin Beichen uncomfortable.
The black man who was knocked away fell directly into the sea of flames. Strangely enough, the other black men acted like it had nothing to do with them. They didn’t show any concern or even spare him a glance.
"No wonder we were sent to deal with you. Your strength is indeed formidable, not something ordinary people can handle!"
The black man emerged from the flames, his clothes charred but with no burn marks on his skin.
"It seems you’re immune to flames."
Lin Beichen smiled slightly and began to analyze immediately.
In fact, Lin Beichen could resolve every battle quickly not just because of his overwhelming strength, but also his acute analytical ability in combat.
"Enlightenment"! Not only an understanding of the surrounding elements but also an insight into battle.
With each battle, Lin Beichen’s understanding deepened. He may not have noticed, but he had developed his own system of combat.
"It’s not exactly fire immunity; it’s just that burning us to death isn’t that easy!"
The black man laughed heartily but grew vigilant inside. Since becoming genetically modified, this was the first time someone had knocked him so far away.
Although his body showed no injuries, Lin Beichen’s blow had indeed grievously hurt him.
"Without my modified genes’ healing ability, I might really have died there."
The leader of the black men muttered to himself.
