It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

"..."

The expressions of these two people changed a little too quickly. The poet couldn't help but feel a little speechless at Bai Lin's change of state, at least that's what her expression said. However, she still pulled the bell at the head of the bed very obediently.

Chapter 747: Handsome?

"...It seems you two are ready. I've also completed my preparations. As long as you lie down flat on your back and close your eyes, I will send your consciousness into the mirror."

Soon, a sound came from the dome of the house, which seemed to be a long-distance communication. Lidamiya continued,

"Please pay close attention to the precautions I mentioned earlier. Beyond that, I won't say any more. I wish you both a safe journey."

"Well, I guarantee you'll be safe."

Bai Lin lay there, replying with this sentence. Even if it was a completely unpredictable event, having someone who could predict it by his side always gave him immense peace of mind. The poet nodded gently and lay down flat on his back.

Within this room, two beautiful girls slept in the same bed, their eyes slowly closing. Bai Lin felt a cool breeze brushing against her shoulders, seemingly fresh from the bath. The delicate fragrance of flowers brought a refreshing coolness, dispelling all the remaining restless emotions. She simply lay peacefully within this room, enveloped by tranquility.

Soon, the calming, natural sensations of this world wrenched Bai Lin from consciousness, and she fell completely into a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes again, a strong light, unlike the one she had seen before, pierced her vision. She subconsciously raised her hand to block it out, trying to slowly adjust to her surroundings. Then, she scanned the world before her.

I could see about twenty or thirty people within my sight. They were bustling about in this not-so-large space, sitting in groups of three or five or alone. Their faces showed a youthful spirit of high spirits and hope for life, and their actions, such as chatting and playing, seemed full of energy.

There were quite a few people, but it didn't look chaotic. Their clothing also looked very uniform, mostly shirts and vests, or a coat over them, with men wearing trousers and women skirts, which looked like standard attire.

As for the neatly arranged chairs and the blackboard visible in front of her, Bai Lin finally realized where she was. She was slightly shocked, then rubbed her eyes and was about to concentrate and confirm something when a rapid ringing sounded.

In this world, there are two kinds of bells that are the most powerful. They not only tell time, but also have symbolic meaning.

When the church bells ring, farmers plowing and butchers slaughtering animals naturally put down their work, responding to this clear and transparent call, casting their gaze towards the sanctuary that holds their spirits, enjoying this moment of peace. At this moment, there is only the sound of the wind, no crowds of people playing, and no distracting thoughts. It is a very peaceful scene.

There's another kind of bell that has a similar effect. When it rings, everyone stops doing anything else. What else could it be? It's just the bell for class. What else would you do when it rings? You're getting criticized. Clearly, Bai Lin has been hearing this kind of bell for half her life. Though it's been years since she last heard it, she can't forget the feeling.

This urgent voice completely froze her thoughts. Where else could such a ringtone be played besides school? And how else could someone suddenly bring her to a place like school besides the mirror? Everything was self-evident.

Bai Lin shifted her gaze slightly, taking a look at her clothes. A subtle feeling emanated from her. Warm sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating her cheeks. For a moment, she felt as if she had blended into the atmosphere of the students around her, and had become a student again.

"It seems this mirror thinks I need to read the book again. Maybe there are some regrets here, but I don't want to do that at all. Reading for a day or two is my limit."

"But it seems better here. Judging from their appearance, they should be high school students, but they are not depressed at all. And with the formal uniforms they wear, this can't be a high school in Oki. This Jing still has some conscience and didn't send me back to prison."

Bai Lin said this in a lighthearted, half-joking tone, mumbling to herself. Indeed, as she said, a white shirt, a brown vest, a small tie, a black midi skirt, small leather shoes, and white socks. Even if you were in Qianhong's aristocratic high school, you wouldn't necessarily be able to wear a uniform like this.

A feeling of ease and youth instantly washed over Bai Lin, brightening her already somewhat subdued spirits. Of course, despite her sense of relief, she also remembered her purpose. So, she quickly cast her gaze around her once again, radiating a "professional" gaze.

First, the poet's face hadn't appeared. She'd said before that she'd try to avoid seeing her before something happened... but having no news from her at all was quite disturbing.

Secondly, there didn't seem to be anything unusual going on around him. At least at first glance, it was just some students playing around before the teacher arrived. There were a lot of glances directed at Bai Lin, but none of them were malicious. Bai Lin knew he couldn't help but attract attention, so this naturally didn't count as an unusual situation.

Who doesn’t like to look at beautiful women?

Of course, there were two particularly peculiar gazes. One came from a handsome young man sitting not far from Bai Lin, his deskmate. He had a handsome face, but his eyes seemed innocent. When Bai Lin noticed his gaze and looked back, he quickly looked away, blushing shyly, adding a touch of dazed cuteness to his angular, handsome face.

It seems that I am not as handsome as I look.

This was Bai Lin's brief assessment. Of course, she wasn't particularly bothered by the shyness of young boys looking at her. More important, of course, was another gaze. Not far behind Bai Lin, a fierce gaze was fixed on the back of her neck. The look, as if to devour her alive, infuriated Bai Lin so much that she lazily reached out and scratched the back of her neck. Then, calmly, she turned back to look at the owner of that gaze.

Chapter 748 Hello

She was a tall, slender woman with a face of about 70% beauty. Her eyes seemed to warn and threaten, yet also held genuine anger. This puzzled Bai Lin, yet not entirely. Perhaps it was because someone the beauty liked was looking at him, hence the fierce glare.

A few young girls were gathered around the beauty, chatting away in a few words. Their words were filled with a certain sourness, and it was obvious they were probably farting. So Bai Lin didn't pay much attention to them, yawned at them, and turned away.

It looked like nothing unusual was going on here; it was just a normal school, and there was no sign of a problem with the mirror. So, the point of staying in this classroom wasn't that significant. My purpose wasn't really to cultivate my character, but to see if there were any problems and solve them.

Go outside and take a look around, and confirm the poet's location. Even if you can't meet him in person, it's better to meet him through some contact information.

Just as Bai Lin made this decision and stood up, preparing to walk out, a group of figures had already surrounded her seat. They were the group of young gang members and their leader who had gathered in the back row. Their faces were stern, and it seemed they had no intention of letting Bai Lin go.

Bai Lin was slightly surprised. These people were truly masters. She hadn't even noticed how they had surrounded her. However, she remained calm and adjusted her gentle demeanor slightly. She asked the leader, who was standing in front of her and was about the same height as her,

"Excuse me...what are you doing?"

"Of course we're holding a welcome party for you, the transfer student. Otherwise, why would so many people be surrounding you?"

The leader sneered and replied in a very sarcastic tone, causing the surrounding little girls to burst into laughter. Bai Lin naturally ignored it. She smiled slightly and replied calmly,

"I don't remember ever doing anything to offend you. Why are you looking for trouble with me?"

There was a hint of danger in Bai Lin's tone, a clear sign of potential counter-intimidation, a murderous aura lurking in the air as it attacked the leader. An unprecedented experience instantly exploded in her mind, a tearing sensation as if her brain had been ravaged by a vast army, halting her thoughts and leaving her in a trance for a moment.

Even if only a slight hint of it were revealed, Bai Lin's current aura was too much for a normal student to withstand. By the time the leader came to her senses, she was sweating profusely and gasping for breath. She refocused her attention on Bai Lin. Although she didn't understand what had just happened, she was still certain that it was the woman in front of her who had done it.

But if I back down here... where would my dignity be? She's just a student, after all. There are so many of us. Even if her family background is similar to mine, she definitely won't be able to take advantage. Yes, everything just now was just an illusion. It must be. She's just a student. How could she be any different from us?

Even if the truth is right before their eyes, many people will sometimes try to convince themselves not to see the truth. At least the current leader has regained his spirits in this way. She stood still, looked at Bai Lin fiercely, and said,

"Because of you, the rules have been broken. Every country has its own laws, and every class has its own rules. Anyone who comes to our class must say hello to me, even if they're transfer students!"

The girl's voice didn't sound particularly confident, but the fact that she could quickly recover her voice in front of Bai Lin was enough to surprise him. She was afraid of accidentally scaring someone into a vegetative state, so she only changed her tone slightly, but it didn't seem to affect the other person much.

Forget it, since you still won’t leave after I warned you… then I’ll deal with it in another way.

So, Bai Lin grinned, narrowed his eyes, raised one hand, and waved in front of the other person with a very enthusiastic attitude, and said,

"Well, hello there—I don't know what your name is, senpai? Is this all right?"

Bai Lin wasn't serious, but her demeanor was genuinely enthusiastic. Plus, Bai Lin was beautiful. Under normal circumstances, seeing her smile and greet me like this would have probably filled me with joy for the entire day. Hey, a beautiful woman is smiling and saying hello to me—that feeling. However, her words and exaggerated expression were clearly laced with sarcasm, a complete and utter disdain for the leader's so-called "greeting."

Standing directly opposite Bai Lin, the leader certainly felt this. Her face instantly darkened to the extreme, and her words came out in a low and threatening voice.

"So, you're determined to go against us? You won't feel comfortable unless you suffer a little, right?"

Bai Lin's smile didn't fade at all when she heard the girl who was a few inches shorter than her say this. She took two steps forward with a smile on her face.

"What's the matter? You still want to make me suffer? What kind of person is that? Otherwise, you should weigh your own weight before you say this."

As he spoke, Bai Lin swung his hand and gently patted the leader's face, causing no actual damage. However, it surprised the leader for a moment. But she quickly reacted and said angrily,

"Are you kidding me?!"

With that, a swift, powerful blow swung towards Bai Lin. While using violence in school wasn't a wise choice, since the other party had already approached and slapped her face, it was understandable to resort to direct attack. However, Bai Lin raised her hand and easily blocked the blow. She felt as if her arm had hit a steel plate, a slight pain spread across her body, and she couldn't move forward even a little bit.

Bai Lin's eyes were fixed on the other man, the slight mist in them completely gone, revealing a clear mind. The leader wasn't the only one stunned; Bai Lin was also momentarily stunned. She'd just slapped the man's face twice, intending to send him flying. She'd been afraid of using too much force and shattering him into pieces, so she'd used very little force. But she hadn't expected the impact to be anything less than what she'd intended.

Chapter 749 She is just a female student

The leader's slap wasn't too fast for Bai Lin's dynamic vision. Even if she was startled, she still had time to react and block the blow. However, her speed in blocking it was a little slower than before. What was going on?

Considering the various circumstances following the confrontation with the leader, firstly, Bai Lin's senses had weakened. He couldn't hear the whispers of the gang members clearly, even though they were only less than ten meters away. This was clearly very unreasonable. Secondly, he didn't even notice them immediately after they surrounded him. You know, Bai Lin used to be able to react quickly to even the slightest movement of a mosquito nearby. This was clearly abnormal.

Furthermore, the weakening of strength and speed in this back and forth movement was completely wrong. Coupled with what Lidamiya had said before, "The mirror has nothing to do with strength," Bai Lin immediately came up with a hypothesis:

I have been weakened, and now I only have the strength of an ordinary person.

Although it's a long story, it's actually just a flash of thought. After reaching this conclusion, Bai Lin quickly flipped the arm that was blocking the leader, directly reversed the grip, and clamped the opponent's arm directly. Then, taking advantage of the opponent's lack of reaction, he suddenly swiftly followed with his other hand and pressed it firmly under the opponent's upper arm. Then he lowered his body slightly, lowered both hands, and with a burst of force, pushed the opponent's arm downwards, and then -

The arm that had been knocked down by Bai Lin's raised knee cracked with a resounding sound. The female student's screams followed. The leader instantly lost all momentum. She stumbled backwards two steps before crashing onto the table. Her other hand trembled as she grasped her broken left hand, her entire body sliding down helplessly.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she screamed in agony. This felt like the worst punishment she had ever endured, and indeed, it probably was. Bai Lin showed no mercy, not even a pause in her movements. She casually grabbed the thickest book on her desk, and with a natural movement of her hands, she swung the thick volume sideways, directly at the leader's face from below. It was like hitting a baseball, smooth and powerful.

With that slap, the leader's eyes rolled back, and the sudden collision caused her tongue to be bitten hard. A suffocating feeling washed over her, and she lost control of her body. She fell sideways to the ground, nearly losing consciousness. Only a faint breath and blurry vision remained, as she lay trembling slightly on the ground, looking ahead. The creature, whose appearance was "human" like her, had completely unhuman methods.

The sound of small leather shoes clattering could be clearly heard from the ground. The student with long white hair and golden eyes took two steps towards this side, holding her book. Her figure was backlit, her face in the shadows, but her overall demeanor seemed full of ambition. Only her voice could be heard, preaching in this silent classroom.

"In some places, when you encounter the post-80s generation on campus, honest people can't stand it anymore and explode, then resort to violence to counter violence, which can lead to counter-punishment. After all, the perpetrators often work in groups, and the school administration will ask the victims to be tolerant in order to keep the peace. Even if the case goes to court, the perpetrators have many families and strong financial resources, so the verdict is unpredictable."

"Even if you succeed, you're essentially just sacrificing your entire life with a scumbag like the perpetrator. It's truly a very unprofitable outcome. And there's nothing you can do about this situation. Given the broader environment, whether or not this kind of bullying occurs has almost nothing to do with you. Even some of the better schools have their share of scandals. And some people don't need a reason to hold a grudge against you. They might just accidentally see you and want to attack you."

At this point, Bai Lin sighed slightly, shook her head, and pretended to be regretful. But then she quickly raised her head, grinned, and said happily,

"Since this is truly unavoidable, and such a disgusting and evil thing, then, having come across it in this virtual environment, of course I have to give it a good, hard blow. Whether it's to vent the anger of the bullied, or just to cheer myself up a bit."

"I'm going to beat you all to the ground without sparing a single one. Even if you kowtow and apologize to me now, it's too late!"

Arrogance, madness, an aura not even a student could display, and a growing murderous intent, all rose from Bai Lin's side. This aura was unstoppable by anyone present. Even with Bai Lin now possessing only the most ordinary oppressive power of an ordinary person, it still immobilized everyone for a moment.

The two or three little girls who had rushed over to support their leader after he was knocked down were all shocked and almost fell to the ground again. The leader, who was sitting on the chair, barely raised a hand, pointed at Bai Lin in front of him, and said weakly,

"Quick, kill her! Didn't you hear? Even if you don't take action, she will. With so many of you, you can easily kill her!"

A sharp voice came out from the broken throat. The surrounding girls immediately responded to their boss's call. They slowly gathered around, and with fear, they locked their eyes on Bai Lin. One of the long-haired girls spoke first,

"Yes, Boss is right. We have more people! No matter how much training she has, she is just a schoolgirl."

"Yeah, yeah, it's just a book, why are you pretending? Come over here if you have the guts!!"

The other one, holding a broom, held her weapon in one hand and shouted at Bai Lin. But even though her weapon was longer than Bai Lin's, she had no intention of moving closer and even moved back.

It wasn't just her, the rest of the people were basically the same. They were afraid before the battle, and their voices were just to comfort themselves. Such an opponent really fits the identity of a female student. Bai Lin smiled lightly and whispered again,

"I've heard you say this countless times. Everyone thinks having more people means having an advantage."

Chapter 750 Just Hold On a Little Longer

"Go ahead! If we just hold on a little longer, she'll run out of energy... Look at her, she's already injured. With a punch from you and a kick from me, we can definitely knock her down! They all say that. Everyone thinks they're the one who can defeat me. It's a pity... no one has ever succeeded. Those who have defeated me haven't always been the weaklings who gather together and start shaking their legs at the sight of me."

At this point, Bai Lin paused slightly, and she swept her eyes across the girls around her, then arrogantly pointed her finger in their direction and declared,

"And none of you can possibly defeat me. The reason is that you all boast, but none of you dare to take the initiative to attack me."

Bai Lin smiled, squinted her eyes, and shook her head, looking as if she looked down on these people. Then, she slammed the book in her hand backwards, hitting a little girl who came from behind, holding a chair in her hand, and was trying to backstab Bai Lin.

A heavy blow dug deep into the fabric beneath the opponent's chest. Bai Lin then turned sideways and slapped the opponent directly on the cheek. This blow was like putting the person inside a large clock and then hitting the clock hard. The person's brain was instantly shocked to an overclocked frequency and lost consciousness.

After knocking one person down with two strikes, she casually hooked her toes on a nearby chair and kicked it out, knocking a young woman who was about to pounce from the side, causing her to fall instantly and pulling the young woman holding a broom nearby. Then, Bai Lin's figure flashed swiftly, leaping directly into the air and performing a 270-degree spinning kick in the air, slicing directly into the face of the mop girl. The other woman was unable to avoid Bai Lin's bullseye, and was thrown several meters away, landing among the tables and chairs.

Bai Lin now does not have superhuman physical fitness, nor does he have the idealistic ability to improve his strength through momentum like the Burning Iron Forging Method, nor does he have the rows of buffs given by others that fell on him. Even the most important martial arts that he uses to make a living do not exist.

But even without these abilities, Bai Lin is now more than just a student who can fight a little bit. Putting aside all his martial arts skills, Bai Lin has also accumulated a very rich martial arts foundation. Coupled with these actual combat decisions... In short, for these students, it is a pure dimensionality reduction attack.

The figure soared, landing gracefully. She dodged with a drop of her shoulders, then launched a full-body charge, striking with a vicious blow that sent a young woman who had rushed toward Bai Lin reeling back two steps. Then, she quickly raised the book in her hands, raising it above her head like a guillotine, and brought it down fiercely, instantly knocking the opponent down. Using the momentum, she spun heavily, forcing several who had attempted to approach back several steps.

A woman on the wing climbed onto the high table and leaped down from it, sweeping a diagonal downward kick towards Bai Lin. She looked like she had some practice. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like much practice. Perhaps no one had taught her not to stay in the air when facing an opponent with stronger skills.

Bai Lin leaned to the side, and the opponent's leg slipped past her perfectly, barely making her eyelids twitch. As the opponent landed and struggled to regain her balance, Bai Lin casually waved the book behind her, shaking off the little girls behind her, and then threw the thick book high into the air. Then, with her arms wide open, she charged at the kicking girl like a beast.

A shoulder grab, a kidney strike, a knee grab—a three-part combo that seemed to execute the enemy, like a butcher disposing of a corpse's bones—it was so sonorous and powerful to watch and hear. Then, Bai Lin crossed his legs, arched his back, and threw the opponent back over his shoulder. The whole classroom trembled at the throw. Even the kicking girl, who had lost the strength to scream, groaned and sprayed with foam.

At that moment, the book in the air fell into Bai Lin's hands. She tucked the book aside and strode forward with the small steps of a civilized intellectual. But in the eyes of the little girl, this was more terrifying than a tank crashing into her.

In her panic, she offered the most feeble resistance. A fist, ignited by terror, lunged at Bai Lin. Bai Lin easily deflected it with one hand, transforming his palm into a blade and slashing at the opponent's arm joint. He then stepped forward, striking him in the stomach. Then, he drew up the power of knowledge—the hidden book—and struck the opponent in the temple, delivering a perfect farewell.

By this point, only one young woman on the field still had the strength to stand. She looked at Bai Lin, mumbling something incoherently, like a mental patient. Then, she turned around, grabbed the table with both hands, and leaped into the air. Was she trying to escape?!

Of course, Bai Lin wouldn't give her such a chance. She kicked the broom off the ground and threw it, stopping the opponent immediately. Then she jumped onto the desk and kicked the little girl who had fallen on it with a fierce kick. She then hit the wall and fell unconscious.

After doing all this, Bai Lin yawned and squatted on the table in a gangster squatting posture. Although she defeated many people who had a grudge against her, the unfriendly eyes around her did not decrease at all. Bai Lin naturally understood all this very well. She raised the book in her hand, waved at the people around her, and said,

"I know some of you are unhappy. Even though not all of these little girls have boyfriends, there are always some who have some feelings for them. You can just come at me too. I definitely don't mind fighting back if you hit me. However, I hope you can fight a little better. It would be so embarrassing for a boy to be abused like this."

Even after witnessing such a horrific scene, when everyone saw Bai Lin's sarcastic smile, they couldn't help but sigh, how could such a good-looking person have only a mouth and a female devil living in her heart?

There weren't many boys who responded to the call, but they all looked quite brave. A few of them roared angrily, took off their short shirts, and roared at Bai Lin, saying in a deafening voice,

"Come on, guys! We've been bullied so badly, we have to take action!"

Chapter 751 The Meaning of the Mirror

Obviously, not many people truly stood up. After all, most people understood that the young women's actions were inherently wrong and unworthy of praise. Those who did were either lickers, boyfriends trying to save face, or simply acting out of pure anger. Generally speaking, none of them were out to mess with the 80s; they simply accepted Bai Lin's challenge for their own reasons.

However, for Bai Lin, regardless of the reason for the blades that came to fight her, her policy remained the same. If they were knocked unconscious or unable to get up, she would not pursue them. But if they were standing, she would strike hard, as seen in the leader's case, whose hand was broken by Bai Lin.

The boys rushed forward. Men's physiques were definitely more suitable for fighting than women, and this was a natural advantage. But——

The boys could hold out against Bai Lin just as long as the girls. Soon, the men who swarmed over were either sent flying or knocked to the ground. Within five seconds, Bai Lin could knock one of them down. Bai Lin herself didn't even mess up her hair. She only symbolically straightened her collar after the fight. Then, she looked around and asked again with disdain,

"Is there another one? If you want to go up, hurry up. Don't let your good brothers or the boss blame you for not putting in enough effort. I won't be responsible then."

The surrounding students were naturally furious but dared not speak out. Even if there were any younger brothers who hadn't rushed over yet, they didn't have the courage to attack Bai Lin. So, after receiving a moment of silence as a response, Bai Lin nodded in satisfaction and walked over to the leader who was leaning against a chair.

Bai Lin squatted down and looked at the other person's panicked and half-dead face. He couldn't help but laugh out loud because he found it funny. Then, Bai Lin sat down with a smile on his face, holding the book in his hand, and said to the other person,

"Hey, you're still awake. You should be the biggest boss, right? I don't need to fight any bigger ones, right?"

"You...what do you want to do?!"

The leader said this in a panic. Bai Lin laughed contemptuously and said,

"Of course, it's to make the biggest boss lose face and humiliate her, so that she won't dare bully others again. That's you, right? Then you should get some more sleep."

As he spoke, Bai Lin seemed to remember something, stroking his chin, looking elsewhere, then he exclaimed in sudden realization, and said to the other party with an excited look,

"I remember now! Didn't you just want to slap me? Then I'll end it this way too! However, I think using a book is better. Mom taught me to avoid touching dirty things with my hands. Oh, if you listened to your mom and didn't bully your classmates, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. If your parents didn't teach you this, just blame them. Or maybe you don't have any parents."

Bai Lin always speaks casually, especially at times like this, he says whatever comes to his mind, regardless of logic, and just talks to his heart's content.

Then, with a smile on her face, she raised the book in her hand and slapped it hard on the leader's face. A clear sound, like a stone dropped into a lake, created ripples in the classroom, echoing throughout the not-so-large space.

The entire book finally gave way under Bai Lin's torment and began to fall apart, with numerous pages flying off into the air. The truck, bearing down on him, finally struck him in the face. This, presumably, was how the leader felt.
