Chapter 111 | The Otherworld Journey That Starts From a Slime

The crowd saw that Zhang Ye wasn’t just blindly running away; he was using the terrain and his speed advantage to kite them through the forest.

The key was that his mouth never stopped for a single second while he ran.

“I mean, is becoming Class Monitor really worth all this? All of you ganging up on little old me?”

“How about we negotiate? One-on-one? I’m even fine with a gauntlet match!”

The students sneered upon hearing this. “Knowing fear now? Then just surrender obediently and give up the Class Monitor position!”

Zhang Ye was immediately displeased when he heard that.

“Fear? I’m afraid of making you guys cry!”

This instantly incited public outrage. This kid was way too arrogant!

The response he received was several Tier Nine spells from various students, directly covering an area of several hundred meters. Zhang Ye hurriedly dodged, even using Blink just to barely escape the impact.

Then he raised an eyebrow. “Oh, so that’s how it is! I was trying to be polite!”

“If I don’t show you what I’ve got, you won’t understand why I’m your Brother Ye!”

“Hydrogen-Oxygen Enhanced · Flame Snake Binding!”

Instantly, three students were bound in place by three blue flame snakes. Even though Zhang Ye had released a Tier Seven spell, it possessed the binding power of Tier Nine. Not only could those Tier Eight students not break free immediately, but they were also howling from the heat.

The group of pursuers was instantly enraged.

This kid dared to fight back while being mobbed?

Beat him!

Immediately, countless spells flew toward Zhang Ye, but at this moment, he displayed unparalleled evasion and reaction speed.

The most terrifying part was that his mouth still didn't stop.

“Holy crap, trying to match my firepower? Brother Ye has never been afraid of anyone!”

“I’ll hit you with a tenfold Flame Snake Binding!”

“Controlled, aren't you? That’s exactly where I want you!”

“Then I’ll follow up with a tenfold Ice Rain Fall! A mix of ice and fire to send you spiraling into the heavens!”

“Dodge, dodge, dodge again! Ha, can’t hit me~”

“Put some effort into it! Forty-plus people and only this much magic? Watch this!”

“Fiftyfold — Electric Blade!”

“Hahaha, look at them twitching from the shock! Are you guys doing the electric slide?”

This trash talk was second to none, making everyone’s ears ring. The crucial point was that this kid’s casting speed was just as fast as his talking speed—there were no pauses.

How did he have such a massive mana reserve? And how could he instant cast fifty Tier Seven Electric Blades?

The crowd finally felt Zhang Ye’s power and began to take him seriously.

Some of them were so frustrated by Zhang Ye’s trash talk that they couldn’t help but shout back.

“What are you so arrogant for? Once I catch you, I’ll make you cry!”

“Stop running if you have the guts! See if I don’t beat the life out of you!”

“Watch out, I’ll blast your face with a Molten Flame Spell!”

Zhang Ye laughed loudly. “Is that it? Is that all you’ve got?”

“I couldn’t out-talk Tei Tei, but you think I can’t out-talk you?”

“Come on! Let’s hurt each other!”

“I’ll let you experience a double critical hit, both physical and psychological!”

Zhang Ye continued to run in circles through the forest. Relying on his Tier Nine mid stage peak speed and Blink, absolutely no one could catch him. They could only use long-range magic to bombard him.

But Zhang Ye was no ordinary person.

The casting speed of forty-plus people combined couldn't even match his alone!

Spells rained down like a flood, thrown out as if mana cost nothing. No one knew where he got so much mana.

After breaking through to Tier Eight Newly Advanced, Zhang Ye’s mana reserves had increased several times over, and his mana regeneration speed had increased along with it, since his regeneration was percentage-based.

While running and releasing magic, he was also regenerating mana.

How could they fight this?

How were they supposed to fight someone who was clearly using hacks?!

The forty-plus people were left looking disheveled and miserable by his kiting.

Although he was only instant-casting Tier Seven and Tier Eight magic—since he hadn't finished analyzing any Tier Nine spells yet—the sheer quantity was the problem. Even if the damage to the students wasn't fatal when spread out, it was incredibly annoying!

Imagine being mid-chase only for a Swamp Spell to appear under your feet, sending you flying face-first into a mouthful of mud. How could that not be infuriating?

Add to that Zhang Ye’s trash talk.

There were no swear words or malicious insults, yet it was precisely what drove people crazy!

A combo of relentless spells and a stream of trash talk was enough to make the group want to vomit.

The leopard-eared girl, who had been thrown hundreds of meters away earlier, had also run back and joined the group. She was gritting her teeth, vowing to make Zhang Ye cry, but now her face was covered in soot from Zhang Ye’s fire. Her little face was a mess, and she looked like she was about to cry herself.

At this rate, did they even need Samanra and the others to help him?

“Uh...” Copico was dumbfounded, his mouth hanging open as he watched. The others had similar expressions.

They knew Zhang Ye was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.

Furthermore, they noticed that Zhang Ye wasn't just dodging the sky full of magic with ease; his casting was extremely tactical. Often, a single instant-cast spell would interrupt a student's own casting process.

The power of Perfect Mastery over magic was fully displayed at this moment. While others needed chants or magic circles to release Tier Nine magic, Zhang Ye could use instant-cast spells to interrupt them mid-cast, leaving the group unable to fire off their spells.

Normally, forty-plus people could release thirty or forty spells simultaneously, but right now, they couldn't even manage ten. This was why Zhang Ye could dodge so frequently and remain completely uninjured.

In contrast, those students were all looking pathetic, some even having scorched hair.

Renomon couldn't help but burst into laughter. “As expected of Brother Ye!”

Lina’s large eyes sparkled. “Brother Ye is so amazing!”

Samanra and her two companions were also filled with amazement as they watched, marveling at Zhang Ye’s strength.

Copico was so excited his face was flushed. He felt that Zhang Ye, standing against dozens of opponents, was truly powerful and cool. This was what a real powerhouse looked like!

“I’ve decided. From now on, Brother Ye is my big brother! He’s my idol!” Copico declared.

Hearing this, Lina smiled proudly. “Then you’ll have to get in line behind me. Brother Ye is my idol too!”

On the other side, while Zhang Ye was frantically casting spells and hurling them into the crowd like they were free, he began to feel a bit puzzled.

Strange. Where’s A-Nan?

Why haven't I seen A-Nan?

Could it be that he was just pretending to chase me?

As expected, has the tsundere, iceberg, expressionless Nan finally been warmed by me...

Before his thoughts could finish, a blade of lightning suddenly slashed down from above Zhang Ye’s head. Zhang Ye was startled and immediately used Blink to dodge. However, just as he landed, he heard a loud shout.

“Triple Thunder Prison Kill!”

What was this?

This was Nan’s ultimate move!

It turned out Nan wasn't refraining from attacking him; he was just lurking in wait!

Aaah, you stinky A-Nan!

Three figures lunged directly at Zhang Ye, the long blades in their hands crackling with lightning. Zhang Ye could see that a faint smile had actually appeared on Nan’s usually expressionless face, his eyes full of excitement.

Does cutting me make you that excited?

It seems you’re not just a tsundere, but a yandere too!

Lightning flashed within the Thunder Prison, covering an area of several hundred meters. Zhang Ye could only grit his teeth and consume a large amount of mana for a long-distance Blink, barely managing to evade Nan’s attack.

“A-Nan, you’re playing for keeps?!” Zhang Ye said with a pained expression.

Nan looked at him, a hint of regret on his face. “I missed.”

Zhang Ye: “...”

You’re actually regretful?

The love is gone. It’s gone.

In the next moment, Nan charged directly at Zhang Ye, his speed even faster than the other students.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye didn't even think before turning tail and running, throwing spells back at Nan as he fled.

But Nan was Nan after all—the kind of person who could counter-kill a Tier Ten mid stage Flame Rock Beast while at low health. Zhang Ye’s instant-cast spells were either dodged or blocked by him, failing to deal any damage.

Looking at Nan, who was hot on his heels, Zhang Ye’s lips suddenly curled into a mischievous grin.

If you’re going to chase me, don't blame me for being rude.

“Gujiu, let’s do this... and then this... got it?” Zhang Ye whispered, patting Gujiu on his shoulder.

“Gujiu!” Gujiu nodded, looking adorable with an expression that said “leave it to me,” prompting Zhang Ye to give its soft cheek a little kiss.

“Good baby!” With that, he held up Gujiu and turned to face Nan. “I choose you! Go, Gujiu-mon!”

Then, he tossed Gujiu directly at Nan.

“Gujiu—!” Gujiu let out an excited cry and then expanded in mid-air, instantly turning into a giant pink gummy.

Seeing this, Nan slashed out with his blade.

However, Gujiu could not only devour magic but was also immune to physical attacks!

Nan’s sharp blade struck Gujiu like a chopstick hitting a giant gummy; it was instantly bounced away. At the same time, Gujiu let out a cry and its body expanded once more.
