Commitment
At that moment, the entire Qingcheng fell silent.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on time.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present.
No one could have imagined that Luo Jun would directly cast a forbidden spell, and even less could they have expected that Luo Jun would shoot Ye Lin through the chest.
"Luo Jun... has won!"
"Who would have thought that a forbidden spell caster, who is said to be invincible at the same level, would be defeated by someone four levels lower than him? This Ye Lin was actually defeated by Luo Jun!"
"Luo Jun is really bold. He actually cast a forbidden spell directly!"
The crowd was abuzz with shock and disbelief.
"Old Dog Su! You old thing! Just to win, you actually taught a forbidden spell to your student?"
Gao Zhenyu was beside himself with rage and charged over, ready to fight to the death with Principal Su.
Although Luo Jun was highly talented, his current strength was not enough to master a forbidden spell. The only explanation was that Principal Su, in order to secure the top spot in Qingcheng, was willing to sacrifice Luo Jun's future and teach him a forbidden spell.
Seeing that the outcome was decided, Principal Su wore a smug smile and said calmly.
"What's wrong? There's no rule that says you can't teach a forbidden spell to a student. You lost, so admit it. What, you don't want to?"
"Shameless!"
Gao Zhenyu shouted angrily, and the other principals' faces were not looking too good either.
Casting a forbidden spell places a huge burden on the body, especially for Luo Jun, who was an SSS-level professional with an unlimited future.
To win the top spot, they were willing to sacrifice a future genius. This clearly went against their educational philosophy.
"Luo Jun agreed to it himself. Don't worry about it," Principal Su said calmly and confidently.
So what if he was a forbidden spell caster? This year's top spot was still theirs, from Yucai High School.
Zhuge Ni stared blankly at the stage, her emotions a jumbled mess.
She never expected that Ye Lin would lose to Luo Jun.
But Luo Jun's shot was truly terrifying. Zhuge Ni wasn't sure she could have dodged it either.
Originally, she was eager to defeat Ye Lin, but now, seeing him about to die, Zhuge Ni couldn't help but sigh. Once a person is dead, there's no coming back. She didn't need to hold onto him anymore.
She had already warned Ye Lin that the power of a forbidden spell caster came at the cost of their future and life. It was a pity that Ye Lin didn't listen to her.
"If you had listened to my advice, perhaps you wouldn't have ended up like this," Zhuge Ni shook her head and murmured softly.
On the stage, Luo Jun was breathing heavily, his face pale. Clearly, casting the Dark Dragon Meteor forbidden spell had taken a huge toll on him.
"Level 18? So what? You still fell under my gun!" Luo Jun said smugly.
"Who told you... I lost?" Ye Lin calmly raised his eyes.
"Your heart was pierced through, and you're still being stubborn?" Luo Jun snorted disdainfully.
"It seems that forbidden spell casters haven't appeared for too long, so the world has forgotten their terror."
Ye Lin calmly spread his arms.
"No one can kill a forbidden spell caster. A forbidden spell caster can only die by their own forbidden spell!"
"Forbidden spell? Immortal and indestructible!"
As Ye Lin cast the forbidden spell, a mysterious force burst from him, and the air around the stage seemed to freeze.
Even though his heart had been pierced through, Ye Lin was acting as if nothing had happened. He swung the Starfall Heaven Scar at Luo Jun again.
Luo Jun's face changed abruptly. How could someone with a pierced heart still have such terrifying power? Was this guy even human?
At the same time, the Yin-Yang Bracelet on Ye Lin's wrist glowed, and a powerful energy was rapidly restoring his body.
The wound caused by the Dark Black Dragon Meteor was healing at a visible speed until it completely disappeared.
This sudden scene left everyone in a state of shock!
They had never seen anyone survive after being pierced through the heart. Was this guy immortal?
Only a few people understood what was going on, including the examiners like Lin Yuan.
"Immortality? Isn't this forbidden spell long lost? I never thought I would see it in my lifetime! The profession of a forbidden spellcaster is terrifying. They are born with the ability to master forbidden spells!"
"To use one's own lifespan as a price to be immune to fatal damage, this forbidden spell is indeed the most powerful and practical one. It can directly nullify a fatal attack."
"First using Immortality to be immune to fatal damage, then using the equipment to heal the wound. This kid is too calm! If he's not a forbidden spellcaster, he will surely achieve great things in the future."
One of the examiners couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes filled with regret.
Being a forbidden spellcaster meant a short life, and this was an unchangeable fact.
Ye Lin pressed on relentlessly, each swing of the Starfall Heaven Trace carrying terrifying power.
Luo Jun was forced to retreat step by step. He had thought that piercing the heart with a single shot had sealed his victory, but now it seemed that it was just his wild imagination!
Seeing himself about to lose, a fierce look flashed in Luo Jun's eyes. Since he had already used the forbidden spell once, he didn't mind using it again!
"Forbidden Spell? Dark Black Dragon Meteor!"
Luo Jun cast the forbidden spell again, this time aiming for Ye Lin's head!
Seeing the black spear burst into dazzling light and charge towards him again, Ye Lin frowned. He didn't want to use Immortality in public again. Who knew when it might be exposed if he used it too often.
So, Ye Lin simply raised his hand.
"Forbidden Spell? World Devouring Thunder!"
Since this kid was so fond of forbidden spells, he would just have a forbidden spell showdown with him.
Ye Lin pressed his palm forward, and immediately, dark clouds gathered in the sky, with bolts of lightning flashing wildly, as if they were about to engulf the entire arena.
"Boom!"
With Ye Lin's movement, a thick bolt of lightning directly split from the clouds and struck Luo Jun.
"Impossible!"
Luo Jun's terrified scream rang out. Why was the power of Ye Lin's forbidden spell so terrifying when they were both the same?
He frantically tried to dodge, but the lightning was too fast, and he simply couldn't react in time.
The lightning struck Luo Jun with full force, sending his body flying and crashing into the edge of the arena. Luo Jun's body was charred black, with electric arcs constantly sparking from it. If he hadn't been lying on the edge of the arena, still convulsing, everyone might have thought he was already a corpse.
Seeing Luo Jun's miserable state, the entire arena fell silent.
No one expected that Luo Jun, who was in a winning position just a second ago, would be turned into charcoal by Ye Lin's single bolt of lightning in the next second.
This sudden reversal left everyone at a loss for words.
Ye Lin stood calmly on the arena, then suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, his face turning deathly pale.
Acting requires a full performance. He had just released a powerful forbidden spell. If he didn't show any signs of being affected, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
