Chapter 566 Provocation

The last one Ling Mo mumbled to himself as he glanced down at the list, his casual tone belying the tension in the air.

The group waiting in front of him instantly felt their hearts leap into their throats, anxiously hanging on his next words.

When Ling Mo looked up again, he was somewhat surprised to find every pair of eyes in the room firmly fixed on him.

Ahem Is there an Enhancement type who specializes in knives? Amidst the rapt attention, Ling Mo cleared his throat and revealed the answer.

A collective sigh rippled through the crowd, with many faces falling in disappointment.

However, their curiosity quickly got the better of them as they started to look around, trying to identify the last fortunate individual.

Who is it?

There are many who use knives

It must be someone whos professional with knives, right?

Ye Kai, is it you? someone asked, turning their head.

Whoos.h.!.+ All eyes immediately s.h.i.+fted towards the back of the group.

Ling Mo looked in that direction too, locking eyes with an exceptionally defiant gaze.

Those eyes so fierce!

The man was shorter than the others around him, with a buzz cut, skinny build, but an aura of explosive power.

Two foot-long knives hung at his waist, accentuated by his sleek black casual wear, making the blades s.h.i.+ne even brighter.

Ye Kai, right? Ling Mo asked.

He had already gleaned from the looks of those around that this man was not like the others, including Skinny Monkey.

The three people by his side were fringe figures, but Ye Kai held a significant status among these Psychics.

What was most important was this guy looked tough!

Psychics sometimes have an air of arrogance around ordinary people, but in a room full of Psychics, they usually keep it in check.

But Ye Kai, from his appearance to his stare, down to his attire and the way he leaned against the wall, exuded a challenging demeanor.

Yet this seemingly provocative look actually made those around him show a hint of wariness, indicating that he was indeed a force to be reckoned with.

He was the only Psychic Ling Mo called upon this time with a formidable combat ability

So its really Ye Kai, huh?

Finally, someone different! I thought it was going to be all ahem

But isnt this a bit too different?

The onlookers continued to murmur among themselves.

The room wasnt large, and their voices werent particularly hushed, so almost every word reached Ling Mos ears.

It seems Ye Kai is quite capable. I wonder why Lucy never mentioned him Ling Mo mused with interest as he regarded Ye Kai, who was also looking back at him.

The two shared a strange, prolonged gaze before Ye Kai finally spoke: Not interested.

Whoos.h.!.+

The crowd stirred again!

That was quite a snub!

Amidst the stir, though, most were thrilled!

Conflict meant entertainment! These people, who were either bored or constantly battling on the edge of death, thrived on excitement.

Everyone was eager to see how Ling Mo would handle this situation.

This was a public challenge, in front of everyone, even in front of his woman!

Gu Shuangshuang and her two companions were startled. They hadnt expected that the last person called out would be Ye Kai, the troublemaker

Hes in for it now, Zhang Xincheng said with a cold face.

Huh? Who? Gu Shuangshuang was still a bit lost.

Big brother Skinny Monkey gestured with his eyes, clearly uneasy about this kind of scene. Even though he wasnt the target, he was scared.

Gu Shuangshuangs expression immediately turned to worry. She couldnt help but look back at Ye Lian and the others standing in another corner.

To her relief, the three girls were huddled together, flipping through a booklet that they had found who knows where.

Eh? Is that so? Li Ya Lin asked in a low voice.

Mhm Xia Na, standing in the middle, nodded.

Ah this pose Ye Lian suddenly exclaimed.

We could try it Li Ya Lin suggested.

Gu Shuangshuang couldnt help but wonder what they were so engrossed in. It sounds so intriguing; what could it be

Seeing the three of them completely relaxed, Gu Shuangshuang felt much more at ease.

She had no idea that these were three female zombies with completely off-kilter thinking

Not interested.

Ye Kai still leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, looking at Ling Mo with an indifferent face.

By now, the crowd had automatically cleared a path for them, and the two men stood facing each other.

Provocation! This was pure provocation from Ye Kai!

Indeed, the troublemaker dared to provoke Ling Mo!

The onlookers were even more excited now; the more chaos, the more entertaining for them!

Now they were even more eager to see how Ling Mo would react. Would he be embarra.s.sed into anger? Would he fly into a rage?

But objectively speaking, although Ye Kai had slighted Ling Mo, there was no compulsory requirement to partic.i.p.ate. Ye Kai had the right to refuse.

Refusing was one thing, but it was Ye Kais att.i.tude that would make anyone else just as angry.

Some people thought Ye Kai was courting death. Regardless of Ling Mos strength, he was now the regimental commander! Even if it was just in name, he was the commander! What if he decided to use his power to crush someone?

As for Ye Kai, he still looked like he was asking for a beating. And Ling Mo?

His face didnt show much emotion, which made many secretly admire Ling Mos composure. Even though he must be furious inside, he remained calm, and this gave people a good impression of him.

Why is that? Ling Mo finally spoke, as everyone eagerly awaited his response.

His question caught the crowd off guard.

Why ask why?

But as they collected themselves, many couldnt help but chuckle.

This Ling Mo was quite sly!

Ye Kai was clearly looking for trouble, but Ling Mo had pa.s.sed him a soft knife, outmaneuvering Ye Kai completely.

Ye Kais expression immediately became conflicted, and he looked at Ling Mo somewhat speechlessly.

No reason, just dont want to go, Ye Kai said.

Oh Ling Mo nodded.

Everyone perked up their ears again, and even Ye Kai tensed up a bit.

What would he say next?

Thats too bad, Ling Mo said with a hint of regret.

Just like that? Youre giving up?

The crowd was collectively taken aback once again!

But then Ling Mo added another comment: I was actually looking forward to teaching you a thing or two.

Ye Kai was stunned, and the onlooking crowd snickered in secret!

Such sarcasm was powerful

Indeed, Ling Mo was no pushover; his calm demeanor only seemed to infuriate people further!

Looking at Ye Kai again, his eyebrows were almost knitted together, his gaze fiercer than before, and even slightly red, clearly enraged to the point of bursting.

There was a reason why this man was called a troublemaker; aside from his arrogance, he was also known for his explosive temper.

If it had been anyone else, they would have come to blows by now.

n.o.body in Team F would actively provoke him, and most people actually held a deep wariness towards him.

After Ling Mo finished speaking, he stepped back and began looking at the list again. As he pa.s.sed by, those nearby could faintly hear him muttering, Ah, such a shame

Wait up! Ye Kai finally called out.

Whats up? Ling Mo turned around, asking with a puzzled look, Have you changed your mind? Want me to teach you?

Lets just say Im ready to learn from you right now. As Ye Kai spoke, he started drawing his sword.

The crowd was abuzz once again!

This was a challenge!

Most people there had only heard of Ling Mos strength, and very few had actually seen it in action.

If Ling Mo accepted this fight, the spectacle theyd witness would be immense!

Big brother, give him a good lesson!

Some wanted to shout this, but after glancing at Ye Kai, they had to hold their tongues.

Whats it going to be? Are you in or not? Ye Kai pressed.

Are you that eager? Ling Mo asked.

Ye Kai didnt want to engage with Ling Mos line of questioning; it was awkward no matter how he answered!

Yes! He replied grudgingly.

Oh, then lets do this. Ling Mo nodded somewhat helplessly.

Whoos.h.!.+

A large circle cleared around the two men in the center, and those who had retreated to the walls watched with excited faces, eager for the impending clash.

What many thought would be a minor scuffle had escalated into a potentially thrilling battle!

Some began whispering and placing bets on the outcome of the match between the two.

Some were in favor of Ye Kai, and others believed in Ling Mo.

And the reason for those supporting Ye Kai was simple

With this terrain, this environment Ling Mo, a mental ability user, going up against Ye Kai, doesnt stand much of a chance!

And if he cant win? someone asked.

Heh then why bother forming a squad? Better to just leave
