No one could believe it, not the female ghosts, nor the onlookers like Old Tang, the security personnel, and the participants.
"We are inside a tomb, and we have reached a certain depth. The thunder outside should not be audible."
Upon hearing the thunder, Professor Lin felt an unusual unease, sensing that something was amiss.
"I think this has something to do with fellow Daoist Zhou Lin. Look at what he's holding."
The Taoist priest calmly explained when he heard this.
Suddenly, a sense of relief washed over them, as thunder was indeed a terrifying force to them.
The netizens were bewildered when they heard the thunder.
"Am I dreaming? Is it raining? Is it thundering?"
"No way, the thunder is too loud at this moment!"
"How come I suspect this great figure is involved? I can't think of anyone else."
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin continued to chant, and the thunder subsided.
Seeing that the thunder had stopped, the female ghosts resumed their attack on Zhou Lin.
Unexpectedly—
Zhou Lin waved his wooden sword, and a bolt of lightning descended, striking one of the female ghosts.
The female ghost vanished into thin air due to the lightning.
It happened so suddenly that she didn't even have time to react or scream.
Seeing the lightning, the remaining female ghosts' hatred turned into fear, and then into shock as they looked at Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin sneered and continued to wield his wooden sword.
This time, not one, but three bolts of lightning struck the female ghosts.
Several female ghosts let out cries before disappearing into the void.
Upon seeing this, the remaining female ghosts instinctively tried to flee.
"Trying to escape..."
Zhou Lin didn't want them to get away. What about his points?
That would be a huge loss!
To ensure their complete annihilation, Zhou Lin continued to chant, and a tremendous sound echoed from above, followed by a barrage of lightning.
The lightning instantly annihilated all the female ghosts.
Zhou Lin's mind was filled with the sound of accumulating points, which brought him some balance.
Seeing that the female ghosts that had filled the air were now nowhere to be seen.
Old Tang was stunned.
Professor Lin was dumbfounded.
The historian, biologist, and the others felt as if they had been struck by acupuncture, their minds reeling.
Old Tang's mind was racing with a thousand curses.
What kind of ultimate move was this? Was it also a Taoist art? They were instantly annihilated with a single move?
Even movies wouldn't dare to depict this!
Old Tang was deeply shaken.
Was this something a human could do?
Professor Lin felt a slight tremor of awe.
Zhou Lin had already impressed them, and now this! Was he a divine being?
The historian, biologist, the Wolf King, the Olympic champion, and the gymnastics champion were so shocked that their palms were sweating.
They stood frozen, forgetting to even breathe.
The students and security personnel stared blankly, recalling the arrogant scene of the female ghost just moments ago, and now nothing remained.
Did Mr. Zhou Lin do this? Was it resolved so easily?
The horror and supernatural movies they had seen before seemed utterly weak in comparison.
In the live stream.
"Damn, the great figure is amazing! He annihilated everyone with a single move... Was that lightning summoned by him?"
"Damn, damn, damn, worthy of being my great figure, this is truly incredible, this is beyond words."
"Yes, yes, how can I describe this? I am utterly astonished right now."
"I just watched a replay and was amazed again. I've decided, I will seize the opportunity to learn from the great figure and become someone as brilliant as him."
"I'm already on my way, waiting for the great figure at his doorstep."
...
In the dean's conference room.
When the dean and the metaphysics professor saw what was happening, everyone fell silent.
The dean's eyes blazed with fire, and he exclaimed.
"Amazing."
The dean's exclamation startled everyone, who then looked at him in surprise, seeing his unusual reaction.
"Dean... can I make a small request? When Zhou Lin returns, can I have a chat with him? No matter the cost."
The metaphysics professor, looking shocked and excited, spoke incoherently, almost grasping the dean's hand for an answer.
"Professor, you've lived your life for metaphysics. How much money do you have? Zhou Lin's price could be in the millions."
Professor Wen's shocked expression vanished instantly, replaced by a light chuckle.
It wasn't that he looked down on the metaphysics professor, but if Zhou Lin were to name an exorbitant price, this professor might have to sell his house.
"No, when Zhou Lin comes out, I want to see that Green Dragon Sword first. This matter cannot be changed."
Professor Hu also hurriedly interjected, showing no signs of backing down.
"I think I also need to ask about this historical issue. Can you wait? This is related to the promotion of our culture."
Another professor quickly chimed in.
"None of you are allowed to snatch him from me."
"What do you mean snatch? I said it first. You are the ones snatching."
"How about this, let's stop arguing. We'll talk after Zhou Lin returns, okay?"
"Exactly, exactly. You're arguing heatedly here, what's the point? Let's wait a bit longer."
...
A dispute arose in the dean's conference room.
Outside of Great Xia, the public was already deeply shocked by Zhou Lin's actions.
Major websites continued to report on Zhou Lin's heroic deeds.
