You call this a healer?

Chapter 26

The lightning-type "Mage's" innate skill "Earth-Shattering Thunder Spell" has disappeared, leaving behind a scorched and chaotic area about 20 meters square, where the black scorched soil under half a foot of fallen leaves can already be seen.

Zhou Ming stood in the middle of the scorched earth, still somewhat unsatisfied. He felt that Ye Chen's lightning was likely to have a body-refining effect, and that being electrified for a long time was somewhat addictive.

Ye Chen stood outside the scorched earth, his hair disheveled, his back slightly hunched, his once neat retro robe now wrinkled, and a few drops of sweat trickling down his sharply defined cheeks to his chin.

His eyes were slightly red and unfocused. His fists were clenched tightly, like a defeated rooster, and his chest heaved.

Within a radius of four meters, all was silent. Looking around, one could see nothing but ferocious faces, filled with the resentment and anger of those who had lost desperately.

Old Lu stood there dumbfounded, looking as if he had aged several years, and slowly moved backward.

Lin Ya, Zhong Xiu, and the other girls looked bewildered, their eyes filled with questions, and their snow-white chests heaved.

At the highest point, Vice Principal Wang continued to quickly comb the few remaining strands of hair with a small pink comb, a strange smile curving his lips.

Actually... he didn't bet on Ye Chen!

Teacher Liu Qiqi's large black-rimmed glasses seemed a little loose on her nose, and she had to push them up with her hand from time to time.

Teacher Song Wugong's square face was somewhat distorted, and his eyes were looking at the ground at a 45-degree angle, turning back and forth.

Only Teacher Qin Moyu was radiant, her captivating fox-like eyes almost glistening with tears, and the smile on her lips was so wide that she couldn't suppress it, finally bursting out with a "pfft" of laughter.

The other teachers around her all turned to look at her.

Teacher Qin Moyu immediately suppressed her laughter and gracefully pointed to a wildflower not far away: "Look, that flower is especially beautiful!"

That's a foxtail grass!

"Foxtail flowers are ugly!"

Teacher Song Wugong was breathing heavily.

Qin Moyu said slowly and deliberately, "Are you in a hurry?"

Unexpectedly, Master Song stood with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant: "Why am I in such a hurry? I haven't lost!"

Qin Moyu sighed, "Yes, you didn't lose. It's just that Zhou Ming's defense far exceeded our expectations. Even if the genius mage Ye Chen used all his strength and revealed all his trump cards, he couldn't break through his defense! Ye Chen lost!"

"What I mean is..."

Song Wugong's lips curled into a sly smile: "I bet on Zhou Ming to lose, but now Zhou Ming didn't lose, and Ye Chen didn't lose either, it's a draw, so my money is still intact!"

Liu Qiqi nodded heavily: "That's a very reasonable explanation. Zhou Ming only relied on his frantically stacked defense and that strange amplification skill. He's such a cowardly kid who's afraid of pain!"

However, to say that he beat Ye Chen is pure fantasy; this bet doesn't count!

Just then, Ye Chen spoke from the audience below. He had undergone a mental journey that seemed to have erased his sense of defeat, leaving him still full of fighting spirit:

"Zhou Ming, I admit you have some skills, but not much. A low-level healer like you doesn't deserve to be looked at with respect by a mage with lightning-type talent!"

"However, that's all. You have no offensive power, so I can come and go as I please. If it were a real duel, your defenses would eventually be broken, and you would be defeated and beg for mercy!"

"The bet is 30,000. I'll give it to you this afternoon, as usual. Also, the clothes are 500 each! Goodbye!"

He turned around and left with an air of composure!

Although he failed, he is still a noble and talented mage.

Though defeated, you are still honorable!

Did I let you leave?

Zhou Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated throughout the entire venue.

Countless people looked at him in surprise from all directions. What did he mean?

Ye Chen also stopped and turned around, a cold glint in his eyes: "So what?"

The carefully cultivated "not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat" persona almost crumbled.

Zhou Ming's lips curved into an inscrutable smile: "You've been shocking me for ages, it's my turn now!"

"Hahaha……"

Ye Chen tried to make his smile as carefree and unrestrained as possible, even somewhat resembling "Old Qian's smile," and said, "You're not thinking of rushing over and punching me, are you? Useless classmate, you know nothing about the talent mage..."

The word "know" was not spoken.

Zhou Ming rapidly formed hand seals and roared, "You bastard, take this 'Blue Silver Grass Entanglement'! I've been putting up with you for too long!"

The fierce energy crashed down and landed on the ground, strangely breaking through the soil beneath the fallen leaves. A tender sprout grew rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a ferocious, writhing purple vine over two meters tall, resembling both a dragon and a snake.

The nine thorny vines on top quickly wrapped around Ye Chen with lightning speed.

[Healing Dragon Vine]

Ye Chen's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "What the hell?" Then, he formed a hand seal, and lightning flashed all around him, as if he was about to use the basic "Lightning Escape Technique" of a lightning-type "mage" to run away.

However, the initial movement was too long, and in the blink of an eye, it was wrapped in nine vines like a rice dumpling and held high in the air.

Just as he was about to struggle, the sharp thorns on the vine pierced his body.

So refreshing!

Stimulate!

Partial anesthesia!

His pupils contracted, his mouth was half-open, his tongue was sticking out, and drool slowly dripped down his cheeks.

"?"

The change was so sudden that no one in any direction had time to react.

Countless faces were filled with bewilderment and shock.

"Hey, hey hey hey..."

At the highest point, Song Wugong's stern and unsmiling persona completely crumbled. His eyes widened like copper bells as he pointed at Zhou Ming's menacing [Healing Dragon Vine], his finger trembling uncontrollably, and looked at Qin Moyu: "What is that thing? What kind of damned skill is that? Teacher Moyu, you have to give me an explanation!"

Liu Qiqi's cheeks trembled as she adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, looking at the woman again and again: "Isn't this ridiculous? Has this person gone mad?"

Vice Principal Wang's expression turned serious, and his brows furrowed.

Qin Moyu was also greatly shocked, but still said, "Isn't this... a healer?"

"You call this a healer?"

Teachers Song Wugong, Liu Qiqi, and several others almost simultaneously exclaimed, their teeth nearly grinding to powder, "What kind of joke are you making?"

Qin Moyu tidied her long, wavy hair and scratched the tip of her nose: "What else can I do?"

……

In the field.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Zhou Ming walked to Ye Chen's side, patted the Dragon Vine—it was very firm and taut—and asked, "Ye Chen, how does it feel?"

Ye Chen was still drooling, his words muffled: "What kind of weird healing ability is this? You're a devil..."

Zhou Ming laughed heartily: "Do you submit or not?"

Ye Chen tried hard to see his expression: "Fine, too many silver coins. Give me some face, I still need to get along in school..."

Zhou Ming leaned closer: "Actually, I still prefer your rebellious side."

Ye Chen shut his mouth, and two tears rolled down his cheeks, looking like he was really hit hard.

An unbreakable healer with "devilish" amplification skills and paralyzing vine skills that lock people in place—how can ghosts fight him?

I shouldn't have...

……

"Alright!"

At the top, Vice Principal Wang finally adopted the airs of a school vice principal: "Teacher Qin Moyu, try out Zhou Ming's skills in a bit and submit a report. Also, it's confirmed that Zhou Ming is a mutated healer; he must be given special attention and training in the future!"

"Well, that should be the end of this too, this is outrageous!"

He then left with his hands behind his back.
