Even though Brooklyn didn’t feel it, Dongchuan Ichiro sensed it clearly. When Lin Beichen spoke, it was as if a tangible killing intent emanated from him. Dongchuan Ichiro had no doubt that if Brooklyn had made a reckless move just now, Lin Beichen would have crippled him without hesitation.
Although Dongchuan Ichiro hoped that Brooklyn would be severely injured by Lin Beichen, now was not the time. Otherwise, the wrath of Brooklyn’s family could easily turn towards him.
"If you don’t dare, get out of here immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
As he spoke, Lin Beichen walked to a nearby sandbag. To Lin Beichen, this sandbag was just a decoration left behind in the gymnasium, and its weight was no different from cotton.
Lin Beichen threw a punch at the sandbag. At the moment his right hand touched the sandbag, it flew across to the wall as if it had been hit by a speeding car.
This scene was already shocking enough, but what Dongchuan Ichiro and the others did not expect was that the sandbag exploded as soon as it hit the wall.
Silence! Absolute silence where a pin drop could be heard!
Those originally arrogant people now looked like wilted eggplants, their mouths wide open as if they could fit a whole egg inside.
"If you leave now, I can pretend none of this happened. Otherwise..."
As he spoke, Lin Beichen waved at Dongchuan Ichiro and the others, signaling them to leave quickly.
Brooklyn and Dongchuan Ichiro exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming somewhat conflicted.
Dongchuan Ichiro was conflicted because he did not expect Lin Beichen to be so difficult to deal with. The people he brought were merely martial arts clan members, not his true experts.
In such a situation, making a rash move would only result in him getting slapped in the face. Brooklyn was conflicted because, although he had accepted Dongchuan Ichiro’s invitation, he hadn’t expected Lin Beichen to be so powerful.
Lin Beichen’s nonchalant move made Brooklyn want to retreat, but having already accepted Dongchuan Ichiro’s gift, leaving would be a great loss of face.
They were like being caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to move forward or back, standing there awkwardly.
"Since you put it that way, let’s meet again in a week!"
Dongchuan Ichiro’s eyes twinkled as if he had a sudden idea, arrogantly speaking to Lin Beichen.
"According to your Dragon Country’s customs, I’ll find many witnesses and thoroughly defeat you in front of them at Imperial Capital University!"
After saying this, Dongchuan Ichiro left with his people. As he turned to leave, he gave Brooklyn a look. Brooklyn understood his meaning and waved his hand as well, leaving the gymnasium with his followers.
"I’ve seen shameless people but never anyone this shameless."
After Dongchuan Ichiro and the others left, An Xiaoran made a face towards the gymnasium door. Clearly, those people were intimidated by the strength Lin Beichen had shown but came up with such a lame excuse.
"When do people from Divine Light Country ever have shame?"
Gale snorted contemptuously.
"But I still think you should be careful. I feel like they won’t just let it go. They’ll definitely do something before the next official match."
As a science student, Guo Lin had an unusual calmness. After analyzing it, he roughly guessed what Dongchuan Ichiro was thinking.
"We think alike, but I’m somewhat looking forward to their actions."
Lin Beichen smiled faintly, fully understanding Guo Lin’s implication.
However, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy seemed powerless. With absolute strength, Lin Beichen naturally wouldn’t worry about their petty actions.
"Still, I think you should be a bit cautious."
Lin Beichen recalled the scene when his parents were kidnapped and spoke to Guo Lin and the others.
In truth, Lin Beichen was not worried about Gale and the others’ safety. Even if they hadn’t mastered elemental powers, Dongchuan Ichiro and his group wouldn’t be able to deal with them. He was truly worried about Guo Lin and the others’ safety.
"Don’t worry, I won’t give them that opportunity."
Guo Lin smiled confidently, seeming fully prepared.
After discussing briefly in the gymnasium, everyone headed back to their dormitories. Under Hao Jianhua’s arrangement, Gale and the others’ dormitory was right opposite Lin Beicheng’s, making it convenient for them to meet.
Meanwhile, in the dormitory designated for international students, Dongchuan Ichiro and Brooklyn sat with their followers in Dongchuan Ichiro’s dormitory.
"I didn’t expect Lin Beichen to be this difficult to deal with. Dongchuan, were you messing with me?"
Brooklyn looked coldly at Dongchuan Ichiro. Although Dongchuan Ichiro found the best excuse to help them leave with dignity just now,
Brooklyn had never been humiliated like this. Unable to vent his anger on Lin Beichen, he directed his fury towards Dongchuan Ichiro.
"I had no intention of messing with you. Honestly, I didn’t know Lin Beichen was this strong either!"
Dongchuan Ichiro looked aggrieved. What he said was true. Although the Dongchuan Clan had told him that Lin Beichen was strong, his power had exceeded Dongchuan Ichiro’s expectations.
"So, what do you plan to do about it?"
Brooklyn asked sternly.
"No matter what, I’m going to reclaim the face I lost today."
Brooklyn’s words were firm. Seeing Brooklyn’s determination, Dongchuan Ichiro secretly despised him.
"Why didn’t you say this when facing Lin Beichen’s strength? You talk big now."
Though Dongchuan Ichiro thought this, he didn’t say it out loud because Brooklyn still had value to him.
Once Brooklyn’s value was gone, Dongchuan Ichiro certainly wouldn’t spare him lightly.
"My plan is simple: make a big propaganda effort initially, then make sure Lin Beichen doesn’t get a chance to compete."
Dongchuan Ichiro’s lips curled into a sinister smile, full of scheming. Hearing this plan, Brooklyn also showed a satisfied smile.
"If so, I’ll take on the initial propaganda. With my resources, I can make sure this matter is widely known!"
Brooklyn seemed to already envision the disappointed faces of Dragon Country students at Imperial Capital University on the match day when Lin Beichen didn’t show up.
"You’re right. If Lin Beichen doesn’t dare to face the challenge, he won’t be able to stay at Imperial Capital University anymore."
As soon as Dongchuan Ichiro finished speaking, he and Brooklyn burst into laughter.
"These guys are really despicable!"
They thought their plans were well-hidden, but they didn’t know that someone eavesdropped on every word from outside their dorm window.
The person outside the window was none other than Gale. As a former reconnaissance soldier, Gale was perfectly suited for listening in.
Assigning Gale to monitor them was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but there were no better choices.
When Gale returned to the dormitory to relay the information to Lin Beichen, Lin Beichen just smiled calmly.
"Aren’t you worried at all?"
Seeing Lin Beichen’s nonchalant attitude, his roommates, including Han Yuan, were concerned. Even though Lin Beichen didn’t spend much time in the dorm, they treated him as a brother.
"What’s there to worry about? I expected their moves long ago."
Lin Beichen didn’t even look up from the manuscript of the Dao Scripture in his hand.
"Would a lion care about a mouse’s taunt?"
This statement made everyone present burst into laughter.
Indeed, from Lin Beichen’s perspective, Dongchuan Ichiro and his group were nothing more than insignificant mice.
