Chapter 20

Step by step, Lu Ping carried Su Tang forward without stopping, without looking left or right, his eyes always fixed on one direction.

Everyone was stunned for a long time before they came to their senses.

"What's going on?"

"What happened to Su Tang?"

"How did Lu Ping end up here?"

The students of Zhaifeng Academy were puzzled. They had been happy and laughing, thinking that Su Tang was so powerful that he had directly caused the tower to collapse. Although it was a recurring situation, they still felt very satisfied and watched the third-year students of Xiadeng Academy with great pleasure.

But in the blink of an eye, the one who emerged from the ruins was Lu Ping, carrying Su Tang on his back.

It seemed that things were not as they had imagined. They wanted to go up and ask, but seeing Lu Ping's appearance, no one moved.

The students of Zhaifeng Academy didn't move, but the students of Xiadeng Academy couldn't hold back.

"What's going on? What's happening?"

"Who is this kid? Why did he go into the Tower of Spirit?"

They knew that the Tower of Spirit for the first year had been collapsed by a student from Zhaifeng Academy, but they didn't recognize that person as Lu Ping.

"What's the situation? Is this cheating?" The students of Xiadeng Academy shouted, and this suspicion was quite reasonable. Two people appearing in the tower did not conform to the examination rules.

So, one of them directly stepped forward, rudely blocking Lu Ping's path, with a group of followers behind him, the young man with the Sixth Level of Spirit of Air.

"Hey, what's going on?" the young man shouted at Lu Ping.

"Move aside." Lu Ping's gaze did not linger on the young man or any of the others blocking his path. His gaze remained as it was, pointing in one direction.

"You're pretty arrogant, aren't you?" The young man was angry, stepping forward to push Lu Ping. He was very confident because he was a Sixth Level of Spirit of Air perceiver, capable of reaching the top of the tower. But what about the person in front of him? The young man could not sense any Spirit Force from him.

He pushed without hesitation.

Lu Ping did not stop. He continued to move forward. The young man came up, pushed him, and obstructed his next step. So, Lu Ping also reached out and pushed the young man without mercy.

It looked like a normal push, and a fight might have ensued, but the exam supervisors quickly rushed over.

But then, the young man flew out.

It was just a normal push, and no one saw how Lu Ping exerted his force, but the young man was hit as if by something, flying backward, drawing a twenty-meter arc in the air, and then landing, rolling four times, and sliding another six meters on the ground.

Everything happened in an instant.

The two faced each other, reaching out to push, and the exam supervisors hurried to stop them. Before the first step was even taken, the young man flew. The two who were originally facing each other were now thirty meters apart.

Lu Ping did not stop, his gaze did not waver, and he continued to move forward.

The students of Xiadeng Academy, who were shouting and cursing when the young man flew out, involuntarily moved to the sides as Lu Ping continued to walk straight. Their shouts and curses gradually became quieter.

Lu Ping walked through the crowd, moving straight toward the young man.

"Trouble!" The exam supervisors quickened their pace. Outside the exam area, two non-students, who were only allowed to observe and not enter, disregarded the rules and rushed in. The college staff tried to stop them, but seeing the two peaks emblem on their clothes, they silently let them pass.

The emblem of Xiadeng, the crest of the city lord of Xiadeng City, belonged to the family of the young man who was pushed by Lu Ping, the only son of the current city lord, Wei Zhong, Wei Tianqi.

But ultimately, the first to reach Wei Tianqi was still Lu Ping.

Wei Tianqi was completely dazed. From the moment he sat up, he had been in a daze until Lu Ping appeared in front of him.

Wei Tianqi was panic-stricken, rolling and crawling backward. The exam supervisor shouted "Stop!" and the two bodyguards of the city lord's family were already anxiously drawing their weapons, one of them aiming a Spirit Crossbow at Lu Ping.

But Lu Ping ignored everyone.

Including Wei Tianqi on the ground, he did not even look at him. He continued to walk forward, passing by Wei Tianqi, and continued on.

The Spirit Crossbow was lowered, and everyone rushing toward the scene relaxed and slowed down.

Where is he going?

Everyone was watching, just watching. The exam supervisors, who had originally planned to ask for an explanation, were now hesitant. They looked at each other, and no one moved forward. The more astute ones went to help Wei Tianqi, showing concern.

Rumble...

The sound of the wheels rolling broke the stunned silence. Morin showed a different kind of excitement, pushing Xifan to chase after Lu Ping.

When Xifan saw Lu Ping carrying Su Tang out, he had already guessed about eighty percent of what had happened. That burst of Spirit Force, although he didn't know who it was, now seemed to be a trick aimed at Su Tang. He had only sensed it, but Lu Ping had clearly judged it more clearly and rushed to the Tower of Spirit. No one saw how he entered the tower or how he reached the twelfth floor. In the end, the tower collapsed, and Su Tang appeared to be unconscious, indeed having been tricked.

Is Xiadeng Academy trying to prevent our students from reaching the top of the tower?

Xifan was not sure if someone had a personal grudge against Su Tang, so he wasn't entirely certain that it was Xiadeng Academy's doing. He also wanted to know the truth, so Morin pushed his wheelchair as fast as he could, jolting him so much that his wounds seemed to be splitting, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound. However, Morin was the first to give up, starting off fast and strong but soon out of breath, and then slowing down. Fortunately, Lu Ping wasn't walking very fast, and the two eventually caught up. Lu Ping was heading straight for the exam platform, and as they got closer, his direction and focus seemed to become clearer.

By Bal Yan's side, Yuan Yi.

After spitting out blood, the situation on the Xiadeng Academy side was in chaos, unsure whether to tend to him first or figure out why the tower had collapsed. Only Bal Yan had a rough idea of what had happened, and his expression grew increasingly grim. Then everyone saw Lu Ping carrying Su Tang, walking straight toward them. It didn't take long for him to reach the exam platform.

"What are you going to do?"

Bige, a Spirit of Strength Perceiver responsible for the safety of the academy and also teaching some courses, blocked the path of the unknown Lu Ping.

"Move aside." Lu Ping said the same two words.

Bige did not move.

He had seen Lu Ping push Wei Tianqi thirty meters away and knew that this student was not simple. However, as a Perceiver, and one with real combat experience from the battlefield, he did not think he had any reason to fear this young man.

He did not move or speak, just blocking Lu Ping's path, ready to see what Lu Ping would do.

Lu Ping continued to move forward. His gaze was blocked by Bige's massive body, but his expression did not change. His eyes were still fixed on the same direction, as if Bige was not there.

This was a look of disregard, and it made Bige angry. He had not intended to act first, planning to see what Lu Ping would do.

But now, he changed his mind. He decided to teach this young man a lesson, and no one would stop him. He wouldn't give anyone any face.

"Stand still..." Bige shouted and moved, but he only got out three words.

Because Lu Ping, carrying Su Tang, had finally approached him. If he didn't move, Lu Ping wouldn't be able to take another step.

So, Lu Ping reached out and pushed him to the side.

Bige only managed to shout three words and grab with one-third of his hand before Lu Ping pushed him, and then he flew out.

Twenty meters of horizontal flight, four rolls after landing, and then six meters of sliding on the ground.

He received the same treatment as Wei Tianqi, no different at all. It seemed that this was Lu Ping's uniform warning to those who blocked his path, no one was favored, and no one was disadvantaged.

Then he continued to walk forward, stepping on the blood that Yuan Yi had spat out, carrying Su Tang, and looking at the pale-faced Yuan Yi behind the table.

"What do you want to do?" Lu Ping asked, his expression serious.
