"Mo Fan, just do as Ding Yumian says! If she uses the Heart Eyes, not only will she kill herself, it will also cause all of us to have strong suicidal thoughts. It is irresistible!" Dean Fu blurted out. He seemed to know how scary Ding Yumian's Heart Eyes were.
Ding Yumian was a special student. Ever since Dean Fu was placed in charge of her, he had been instructing her carefully. He did not dare let Ding Yumian get too emotional.
Her emotions not only influenced her own actions, but they would spread to others too!
When she was angry, the people around her would feel angry. If she radiated strong hatred to the world, the people around her would begin to have suicidal thoughts!
Before Dean Fu brought Ding Yumian to the Pearl Institute, she had almost caused everyone in an entire school to stop breathing and suffocate themselves during an incident that had happened while she was overwhelmed by grief!
Normal people were unable to kill themselves by stopping their breathing. Their bodies would subconsciously breathe when they were about to suffocate, regardless of how determined they were to kill themselves.
However, Ding Yumian was able to influence people to do it with her emotions. It had been a serious incident. Luckily, a powerful Mage had noticed it in time and stopped the disaster. Unfortunately, a teacher with a weak heart had still died.
Dean Fu knew everything about Ding Yumian. She enjoyed staying at the Pearl Institute and chose not to graduate. Dean Fu was very pleased with her. On one hand, her emotions were much stabler now compared to when she was younger. On the other hand, Dean Fu could also constantly keep an eye on her to prevent similar incidents from happening.
"Mo Fan, do as she says, or more people are going to die. We can't let that sea monster control her. Her disastrous Innate Talent is far worse than the damage the sea monster could cause!" Dean Fu yelled when he saw Mo Fan hesitating.
Mo Fan looked at Ding Yumian and saw the pleading look in her eyes, begging him to kill her. It felt like she was afraid of the power that she had no control of.
"Fine!" Mo Fan nodded.
There was no better way. It was his only option!
The Lightning Acupuncture Points surfaced on Mo Fan's body. Mo Fan gathered the energy of the Lightning Acupuncture Points at his fingertip!
"Lightning Finger!"
He pointed forward indifferently, but the power it contained was enough to destroy a mountain. A shocking lightning beam burst out of Mo Fan's finger, leaving spectacular lightning arcs across the sky.
The lightning flew at Dean Fu and went through his chest. The lightning tails following it knocked the man into the air. Dense lightning bolts flew at Dean Fu and disintegrated his body.
Dean Fu cried out in agony. His scream did not sound like that of a human, but the painful screech of a ghastly demon from the abyss.
"Are...are you out of your mind?" the teachers who had reclaimed their self-awareness screamed at him.
"Do you think a human would sound like that?" Mo Fan retorted instantly.
The lightning continued to disintegrate Dean Fu's body. His flesh turned into blood, but to the teachers' surprise, it was blue!
Why would Dean Fu's blood be blue?
The Trench Demon suddenly screeched and started moving again as soon as Dean Fu died. Its face was even more twisted!
Ding Yumian had also reclaimed her self-awareness. Her eyes were clear and calm.
"Trying to pull such a petty trick on me? Die!" Mo Fan turned and ran at the Trench Demon behind Ding Yumian.
He clenched his fingers into claws and swung them in a cross. His claws unleashed sharp lightning blades.
The Trench Demon tried to defend itself with its tentacles, but its durability was nowhere close to the Ruler-level sea monsters, despite its outstanding Psychic abilities.
The lightning slashes sliced off its tentacles and tore them to pieces. Its body was also sliced in half, with blue blood spraying out of the cuts!
The Trench Demon's head was sliced into pieces. It let out a strange cry right before it died.
How was the seemingly reckless man able to see through its mind-controlling ability?
Mo Fan glanced at the Trench Demon's remains disdainfully. He noticed the tentacles were wrapping one another, like they were trying to protect something important.
Mo Fan stomped the ground and unleashed a web of lightning to destroy the tentacles, then walked over and picked up a blue crystal.
Mo Fan had already learned how valuable the sea monsters' Organ Crystals were. Considering the Trench Demon's strength, its blue Organ Crystal had to be worth a ton!
He put the crystal away and turned around. The directors and professors who were with Dean Fu were lying on the ground, like they had lost all their energy.
Only Ding Yumian and the teachers she had woken up were still standing.
Ding Yumian slowly walked toward the pool of blue blood. She picked up an ordinary necklace from it.
The necklace had remained intact after being struck by Mo Fan's lightning. It was obviously something special.
Ding Yumian cleaned the blood on it off in the river and dried it before putting it away.
Mo Fan went up to her and felt sorry for her, especially when he was looking at Ding Yumian's back.
Could he have figured out a way to save Dean Fu's life? Why did he have to kill him?
Was he worried being merciful might lead to a greater mistake, but wouldn't that imply he was not capable enough, and did not have the courage to bear the consequences?
"I'm sorry, my emotions will influence the people around me. You shouldn't feel guilty, you made the right choice!" Ding Yumian spoke up abruptly.
Mo Fan was shocked as he was jolted out of his guilt. It turned out Dean Fu was telling the truth about Ding Yumian's terrifying ability!
"The day my grandmother passed away, I went to school as usual, but I almost caused the whole school to suffocate themselves. It was Dean Fu who arrived in time to stop me. I'm very grateful to him for taking care of me all these years," Ding Yumian turned around with teary eyes.
"I'm sorry, I really lack compassion sometimes," Mo Fan said helplessly.
Ding Yumian shook her head and said, "I made the wrong call because I was grateful to him.. I'm not a qualified Psychic Mage. Any other Psychic Mage would have noticed everyone here was being manipulated after setting foot here!"
