Lin Tang used the magma as cover and finally managed to escape with his life. Fury welled up within him.
Luckily, the serious injuries had caused his demonic thoughts to subside, restoring his clarity and preventing him from becoming a mere killing machine. Once his injuries healed, the demonic thoughts surged once again. But Lin Tang was prepared this time and resisted them in advance. He wouldn't lose himself again. Still, it was incredibly annoying.
He rifled through his Storage Ring and found the ruler he had once snatched from Ji Yongyan. As for the bamboo slips, they were already damaged. Ji Yongyan had once used this ruler to knock on Lin Tang's head, eliciting the deafening sound of countless students chanting—a noise that shook him to his core. An idea struck him, and he decisively activated it again. Wouldn't you know it, it was a perfect counter. The ruler proved to be an excellent tool for eroding and dissolving his demonic thoughts.
