Upon hearing Ling Yichen’s answer, Wang Chengye was a little stunned, but he did not show the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Wang Chengye did not ask why. Instead, he asked, “Student Ling, you should know that you are an Evolver, right?”

Ling Yichen came to a sudden realization. The news that he was an Evolver had probably spread on the Internet. Otherwise, Wang Chengye would not have known about this. After all, he had already put all the insects other than the Hidden Shadow Spiders into the Insect Nest Demiplane when he was outside Jinling High School. Even the Hidden Shadow spiders had quietly followed him in a corner without revealing itself.

Ling Yichen nodded and said, “I am indeed an Evolver.”

Wang Chengye continued to ask, “We learned about Student Ling on the Internet. I’m also an Evolver and my talent is the Rock Giant. I wonder what your talent is?”

“Since you learned about me, understand me according to what you learned.” Ling Yichen didn’t explain his talent explicitly.

Faced with Ling Yichen’s extremely uncooperative appearance, the five of them felt a little uncomfortable. However, the video on the Internet was really exaggerated, so they could only endure it and continue to rope him in.

Wang Chengye did not beat around the bush and directly invited him. “Student Ling, don’t you think that we can live better if we join forces? Join us. We are all classmates from the same school. We can totally form a large team of Awakened ones.”

“I’m not interested. It’s fine as long as you can take care of yourselves. There are indeed people who can be my teammates, but it’s not you guys.”

With that, Ling Yichen continued to walk in the teaching building, ignoring the five of them.

If these five people did anything to harm him, the Hidden Shadow Spider would solve everything for him.

“Then why did you come back to school?” Someone asked, but Ling Yichen still did not answer. He did not even stop walking.

Although this made the five of them very unhappy, they did not do anything inappropriate, which saved their lives.

The only girl among the five said unhappily, “Hmph! What’s there to be arrogant about? Brother Wang is also an Evolver!”

Her name was Qiu Xiaqi, and she was Wang Chengye’s girlfriend. Her looks were top-notch in Jinling High School, and her classmates jokingly called her the class belle.

Wang Chengye waved his hand indifferently and said, “Alright, let’s go too. Continue patrolling.”

In fact, Wang Chengye was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. Instead, he was very regretful and angry. He secretly scolded Ling Yichen for not knowing what was good for him.

Even though Wang Chengye really wanted to kill Ling Yichen, he suppressed this impulse.

At this moment, there were no monsters around Ling Yichen. Wang Chengye could also sense that Ling Yichen had broken through to Mortal Body Rank-3. Furthermore, there were also Evolvers with the “Summoner” and “Beast Tamer” talents circulating on the Internet.

It was said that such Evolvers typically didn’t get much stronger when they got through. Thus, their physical bodies were less powerful than their peers. Wang Chengye believed that he had a high chance of winning, but he was not a brainless villain in a pretentious face-slapping novel. He did not want to take the risk, so he could only choose to endure it in the end. It was really unwise to make enemies for no reason.

Then, under Wang Chengye’s lead, the five of them continued to patrol Jinling High School.

In fact, under the butterfly effect of Ling Yichen’s rebirth, Wang Wang did not die. Moreover, because Wang Chengye was the only Evolver and Wang Wang was also a teacher, Wang Wang’s status in Jinling High School was very high. He was also the one who suggested patrolling. They would patrol in groups. Now, it was just Wang Chengye and his team’s turn.

Ling Yichen listened to their conversation with the help of the Hidden Shadow Spider that was hiding in the dark. He knew that they were patrolling, so he didn’t think much of it. He guessed that the five of them would be attracted to the vampire later.

Among the five of them, only Wang Chengye had reached Mortal Body Rank-2. The other four were only at Mortal Body Rank-1. He had probably controlled the distribution of Origin Crystals, making it impossible for these five to be of the same level as him. Coupled with his Rock Giant Talent, it was easier for him to maintain his status in the team.

In the following time, Ling Yichen did not just collect corpses. He also had the Hidden Shadow Spider set up traps in various locations to deal with the upcoming battle.

In fact, Ling Yichen hoped that the battlefield could be pulled to the field. That way, it would be more beneficial to the battle of the insects under his command.

However, he didn’t know where the vampire would appear, so he could only set up traps with a purpose.

After confirming the time, Ling Yichen felt that it was about time. Just as he was about to go down to the first floor to prepare, a scream came from downstairs!

This scream came from the only girl in Wang Chengye’s team.

Ling Yichen had checked the entire teaching building, but there were no traces of zombies or mutated creatures. In that case, there was only one possibility!

The air began to emit the smell of blood. Even though there was some distance between them, Ling Yichen could still smell the faint smell of blood!

It was a vampire!

It had appeared!

Ling Yichen did not panic at all. Instead, he relied on the voice to determine the location of the scream in his mind. It should be from the corridor on the second floor. Meanwhile, Ling Yichen was on the top floor, which was the fourth floor.

The vampire came earlier than Ling Yichen had expected, but it was not a big deal. Since he was here, Ling Yichen could just attack directly!

Ling Yichen released the insects in the Insect Nest Demiplane. The Golden-Backed Saber Mantises all jumped out through the fence and surrounded the teaching building, waiting for an opportunity to make a move. Meanwhile, the Black Iron Armors flew out and arrived in the air outside the fence on the second floor.

Ling Yichen immediately used the Black Iron Armors’ perspective to see the exact location and current situation of the vampire and the five people.

One of the five male students rolled on the ground in pain. His right arm was missing, and the vampire was gnawing on it. The vampire’s fangs were gnawing at his arm, causing bright red blood to splatter everywhere. Coupled with the vampire’s monster-like appearance, it was extremely easy for people to think that they had entered the scene of a horror movie.

The vampire looked like a pale young man. He had red hair, red eyes, and a mouth full of fangs. The fingers on his hands were long and slender. His nails were long and dark red. He was also wearing clothes. They were not from Earth but from another world. The style was novel.

The remaining four looked as if they were facing a great enemy. They could clearly sense that this monster was a terrifying existence at Mortal Body Rank-3. It was a level higher than Wang Chengye.

Wang Chengye’s expression was very ugly. He instantly used the Rock Giant Talent, and all the cell structures in his body changed into rocks.

After using the Rock Giant Talent, Wang Chengye’s life form was closer to a silicon-based life form. This kind of life form did not exist on Earth, which was filled with carbon-based life forms.

After transforming into a Rock Giant, Wang Chengye’s 1.75-meter-tall body instantly broke through to two meters tall. His body also visibly expanded several times, and his rock-like muscles were lumpy. Overall, he looked like a Stone Golem in the Fantastic Four.
