Chapter 297: The Real TrapTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The dark light inside of Lee Hyun-bin’s eyes came from the power that was awakened when he was only seven. The Lee family was elated by the addition of an Extraordinary One in their family. The Lees were a commerce dynasty, so rarely did they produce any heirs who had obtained such personal strength. The Lee Family’s lord had even hired an elite soul energy master to show Lee Hyun-bin the ropes.

When Lee Hyun-bin finally turned sixteen, he was also already a powerful A cla.s.s Extraordinary One.

He excelled in Soul Energy Dharmic powers and was well known for his unpredictability. He could hypnotize his unwitting victims without even showing any sign of using the power. Plus, he was a master of deceit and knew how to use his charming appearance, high social status to lower his victim’s guard. In Korea, he had ruined the reputation of many young starlets and daughters of decent families. Zhong Yaoyao quickly fell prey to his charm as soon as he arrived in China.

“You would rather have it the hard way, wouldn’t you. You are just a university professor, how are you planning to hold on to such a valuable secret?”

Lee Hyun-bin snorted as the dark light started to gain more intensity.

The otherworldly soul energy was reshaped by secrets arts into invisible energy waves that rushed into Chen Fan’s eyes, trying to gain control of Chen Fan’s conscious. Lee Hyun-bin had used this art to pin many rich and powerful people under his thumb.

Although the Consciousness Override could only last a short period of time, it should be enough time for him to squeeze the recipe of the Vitality Serum from Chen Fan’s mouth.

To his surprise, Chen Fan was unaffected by his art. An azure light came up in his eyes as Chen Fan cracked a smile.

Suddenly, Lee Hyun-bin felt a tsunami of soul energy that was more powerful and vast than that of his teacher came at him. The energy felt as vast and deep as the ocean but as tough and hard as steel. Before such unimaginable presence, Lee Hyun-bin’s soul energy looked like a small fis.h.i.+ng boat before a rogue wave that was cras.h.i.+ng down on it with all its weight.

“Bang!”

An invisible force wave swept across the room.

The young man felt a heavy blow land on his mind and it staggered him, knocking him down to the ground. Blood poured out from all holes on his face, making him look like a b.l.o.o.d.y demon.

“Hyun-bin, what’s happening?”

Zhong Yaoyao panicked and hurried to steady Lee Hyun-bin.

“How? How did you break my secret art?”

Lee Hyun-bin didn’t spare an appreciative moment for Zhong Yaoyao. Despite the blood spilling out all over his face, he locked his eyes onto Chen Fan and asked incredulously.

The match of soul energy was much more deadly than that of martial arts. The one who was defeated might suffer soul injury permanently which would strip one of an Extraordinary One’s power.

Lee Hyun-bin’s soul energy was shattered by Chen Fan’s Divine Will. The secret arts which he had been perfecting over the decade were countered by Chen Fan utterly. If not because Chen Fan had held back his power, his brain might as well have already exploded.

“Take this as a lesson for the importance of humbleness.” Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and said lightly. “If you dare to offend me again, I will kill you.”

As soon as he finished his words, Chen Fan didn’t waste one more second on the Korean young man. He whirled around and walked off

Lee Hyun-bin might have been a powerful figure in the Lee Family of the Samsung Group, but in the eyes Chen Fan, he was nothing but an ant.

“He countered my art! My secret art!”

Lee Hyun-bin slumped on the ground; his b.l.o.o.d.y face that was half-covered by the hair. However, he didn’t seem to care about his appearance but kept on murmuring to himself stupidly. This secret art of Soul Energy was what helped him claim supremacy inside the Lee Family. As a das.h.i.+ng young lord of the mighty Lee Family, he had never thought that he would be defeated by a university professor.

His fragile ego was shattered, and he wouldn’t come to terms with the reality

“d.a.m.n that Lee Hyeok-Gyu! His intelligence is all wrong! Chen Fan is a Soul Energy Grandmaster!”

“d.a.m.n you Aid International! They must know the power of Chen Fan and had been waiting to see my defeat. No wonder none of the other forces had made a move yet.”

“And Curse you Chen Beixuan! You have countered by secret art and destroyed my soul energy, I will never forgive you.”

A venomous flame came up in Lee Hyun-bin’s eyes.

He hated Lee Hyeok-Gyu for failing to find out Chen Fan’s real power. However, he knew the fault was not with him. Lee Hyeok-Gyu was just a manager of a company, who might have resources at his disposal in Korea, but in China, he was helpless.

He loathed Aid International’s purposeful reticents about Chen Fan’s true ident.i.ty. They must be gloating at him now.

The person Lee Hyun-bin hated the most was Chen Fan. He had chosen to ignore the power of Lee Family behind Lee Hyun-bin and utterly defeated him. Worse, he had robbed him of all the precious soul energy he had harnessed over the decades, it would take him a few years to recuperate and start his cultivation from scratch.

“Someone help! Someone, please!”

A pa.s.ser-by finally discovered the b.l.o.o.d.y face of the Korean young man. He shouted out for help.

Everyone rushed toward Lee Hyun-bin and carried him to the school nurse’s office. Even as he was being carried, Lee Hyun-bin struggled to break free and shouted out at the top of his lungs: “Chen Beixuan, I will kill you! I will kill you!”

It wasn’t until Lee Hyun-bin was carried away by others, Zhong Yaoyao’s body s.h.i.+vered a little.

It was as if someone had splashed her with cold water, her mind suddenly became clear and was aware of the situation.

“s.h.i.+t! I thought I was just playing along with his game. Did I just fall for him for real?”

“What did Professor Chen say? Why can’t I remember any of it? Why did Lee Hyun-bin start to bleed for no reason?”

As reality set in, Zhong Yaoyao felt a chill down her spine.

“Am I… possessed?”

Lee Hyun-bin was a handsome playboy, but Zhong Yaoyao was also an equally experienced player on the stage of teenage drama. She had broken many hearts but never allowed herself to get serious even in the slightest. So her near fall for Lee Hyun-bin had scared her and made her feel lucky that Lee Hyun-bin’s run-in with Chen Fan had given her a wake-up call.

After he had dealt with Lee Hyun-bin, Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and took a stroll around the campus.

Jin City University took up a huge swath of land. Inside, the university was filled with scenic gardens and resting places which were frequent visiting spots of love birds after dark. Dusk had just broke, so most students were at the cafeteria for dinner, even the love birds were absent in the gardens.
