Chapter 2: Undercurrents



After Lin Yu left the teacher's office, his mind was filled with Teacher Li's contemptuous expression. He secretly vowed to slap this blind man in the face during the ability test. In the next few days, he used his spare time at school to practice hard during the day, and immersed himself in system tasks at night, racing against time to improve his strength.

As his strength grew, Lin Yu's presence in school gradually increased. Those classmates who once laughed at him now looked at him with a hint of fear. His relationship with Su Yao also became closer. Su Yao always found various excuses to ask him questions, but in fact she wanted to spend more time with this "mysteriously strong" boy.

During a break that day, Lin Yu was sitting in his seat, resting his mind with his eyes closed, trying to sort out the surging energy within him. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps shattered his stillness. He opened his eyes and saw Zhao Yuxuan, accompanied by several followers, swaggering towards him. Zhao Yuxuan had his hands in his pockets, a haughty smile on his face. The others behind him also had arrogant expressions, as if they were the masters of this school.

"Hey, isn't this our great hero Lin Yu? I heard that you've been very powerful recently." Zhao Yuxuan said sarcastically, with no concealment of the sarcasm on his face.

Lin Yu stood up and looked at him coldly: "Zhao Yuxuan, what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?" Zhao Yuxuan stepped forward and looked down at Lin Yu. "I just came to remind you, don't think that you are great just because you helped Su Yao block it once. She is not someone you can afford. Also, Tang Yue is my woman now. You'd better stay away from her, otherwise..." As he spoke, a purple lightning condensed in his hand, crackling, as if threatening Lin Yu.

Lin Yu felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to confront Zhao Yuxuan head-on. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and sneered: "Zhao Yuxuan, you only know how to use your supernatural powers to bully others. However, you'd better remember that things will change, don't let me get you into trouble one day."

Zhao Yuxuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter: "You? You still want me to fall into your hands? Do you think you are great just because you have awakened some small skills? Let me tell you, in front of my B-level thunder ability, you are nothing!" As he said, he waved his hand suddenly, and the lightning in his hand shot towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was prepared. The moment the lightning shot out, he quickly dodged sideways. The lightning brushed past the corner of his clothes and hit the table behind him. The table was instantly pierced by the electricity, and a puff of black smoke came out.

“Zhao Yuxuan, you’ve gone too far!” Lin Yu roared, his hands trembling slightly, and the power in his body was also stirring.

"Too much? This is just a small lesson." Zhao Yuxuan said proudly, "If you know what's good for you, get out of Su Yao's world right away, otherwise it won't be so easy next time." After that, he walked away with his followers, laughing.

Lin Yu watched Zhao Yuxuan's departing figure, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. He knew that the conflict between him and Zhao Yuxuan had completely intensified, and a war was inevitable. But he also knew that with his current strength, he was not enough to compete with Zhao Yuxuan.

"System, I need to improve my strength as soon as possible!" Lin Yu called out anxiously in his heart.

The system's cold voice rang out: "Detecting the host's strong need for improvement, issuing an urgent task: Find a primary spirit crystal in the secret realm behind the school. Task reward: 200 experience points, a bottle of intermediate strength potion, and 100 points."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yu's eyes: "Secret Land in the Back Mountain? Isn't that a place that the school prohibits students from entering?"

"Yes, the secret realm in the back mountain is full of dangers, but it also contains rich resources. If the host can successfully obtain the primary spirit crystal, his strength will be greatly improved." The system explained.

Lin Yu did not hesitate at all: "I accept the task!"

After school, Lin Yu avoided everyone's sight and walked secretly towards the back mountain of the school. Along the way, he was cautious, fearing that he would be discovered by the teacher or other classmates. When he arrived at the foot of the back mountain, he looked at the dense forest in front of him, took a deep breath, and then strode into the forest.

As soon as he entered the woods, Lin Yu felt a gloomy atmosphere coming towards him. The trees around him were tall and dense, and the sunlight could hardly penetrate the branches and leaves, making the entire forest seem particularly dim. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the grass. Lin Yu immediately became alert. He clenched his fists and tensed his muscles, ready to respond to any possible danger at any time.

A huge mutant wolf rushed out from the grass, its eyes flashing with a fierce red light, and its sharp fangs dripping with saliva, obviously treating Lin Yu as prey. Lin Yu was shocked. He didn't expect to encounter such a powerful monster just after entering the secret realm.

"System, what is the strength of this mutant wolf?" Lin Yu asked in his heart.

"The strength of this mutant wolf is equivalent to that of a D-level mutant. Host, please be careful when dealing with it." The system replied.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, mobilized the strength in his body, and prepared to fight. The mutant wolf took the lead in attacking, it jumped high and pounced on Lin Yu. Lin Yu dodged to the side and swung a punch at the same time, hitting the mutant wolf hard. The mutant wolf howled in pain, but it did not retreat, but pounced on Lin Yu again.

Lin Yu and the mutant wolf engaged in a fierce fight. With his agility and ever-increasing strength, he dodged the mutant wolf's attacks time and time again, while also causing it a lot of damage. Gradually, the mutant wolf's attacks became slower, and the wounds on its body became more and more.

"Now!" Lin Yu saw the opportunity, jumped up suddenly, and punched the mutant wolf on the head with all his strength. With a dull sound, the mutant wolf fell to the ground and there was no movement.
