Chapter 79

Being the chief does not only mean capability, but also seniority. Yun Chong is indeed the principal of the Tianzhao Academy, but in the ranking of the academicians, he only holds the third position.

The second position is held by Xia Bojian, the mentor of Qiao Cheng and Shi Zhongtian, who is one rank higher than the principal. This has always been a source of pride for them.

But who is the chief academician of the Tianzhao Academy? No one has ever known. It seems as if this person does not even exist, and the mentors never mention them.

And now, Qiao Cheng and Shi Zhongtian have seen it.

The drunk woman in the library is actually the chief academician of the Tianzhao Academy.

The two looked at each other, unable to accept this fact for a long time.

"Did you see it wrong?" Qiao Cheng said.

Shi Zhongtian, of course, hoped he had seen it wrong. But just like when the power of "Discernment" was enhanced for Su Tang, this time he also checked four times.

There was no mistake, it was a circle of light. On the back of their mentor Xia Bojian's robe, there were clearly two circles of light. The pattern, lines, and texture were the same. The only difference was the number of circles, and the fact that the drunk woman's robe was so old that the pattern was almost worn off.

Incredible!

The two have been at the Tianzhao Academy for four years, and they have never encountered as many shocking events as they did in this one afternoon. If this were a dessert after a meal, it would be too spicy and too stimulating.

The two quickly followed their mentor's footsteps. Lu Ping helped Su Tang up, and after picking up Mo Lin, they followed as well. As for the others, they were a bit lost, especially the injured third-year students. The incident originally started because of them, but now it seemed to have escalated to a level where they could not participate or intervene. They had become mere spectators.

Should they continue to follow and watch? This became the issue that troubled them. As for Dao Ran's subordinates, after a moment of confusion, they suddenly realized that everyone might have forgotten something?

"Brother Dao! Brother Dao!" They shouted in alarm, rushing out. Where did Dao Ran go in the wind? Had this been completely forgotten by everyone? They hurriedly went out to search for Dao Ran...

The library, even on this bright afternoon, was dim. Chu Min and Xia Bojian both accurately determined the direction of the sound and quickly arrived at the room. Xia Bojian hesitated for a moment before pushing the door, but Chu Min, without any hesitation, kicked the door open with her foot.

Xia Bojian frowned, but the scene that appeared before him made him pause.

The room was not very messy, but the mural on the right wall was damaged in several places, and the residual soul force left a familiar trace for Xia Bojian.

A pool of blood was slowly spreading on the ground, shocking to see. A person was lying in the blood, motionless. Next to them was a girl, whom Xia Bojian recognized as Wen Yan.

Xia Bojian hurriedly approached and, upon seeing that the bloodied youth was not Luo Ting as he had feared, he felt a slight relief. But when he turned his head, he saw Luo Ting sitting against the left wall, his head hanging down as if it were about to fall off.

Without needing to check, Xia Bojian could already sense that it was a corpse, a dead body.

Xia Bojian's face turned terrifyingly dark. Luo Ting was his student, and the ability "Qi Zhu" was cultivated under Xia Bojian's guidance. This was an ability that Xia Bojian was proud of, with multiple uses and a rating of level five. Among the many students he had taught to master the soul force of Qi, only Luo Ting had mastered this ability. Xia Bojian had high hopes for Luo Ting, believing that his future was limitless.

But now, he had been strangled to death and lay lifelessly against the wall.

Who?

Xia Bojian was extremely angry, but he did not rush to show his anger. After taking two more steps forward, he quickly perceived the bloodstains on Luo Ting's hair and face, which were from someone else.

Qi Zhu!

Xia Bojian used the ability he had carefully taught Luo Ting, and in an instant, he found his target. The blood on the ground matched the blood on Luo Ting's head and face. The right hand of the youth lying in the blood was covered with marks from being hit by Luo Ting's soul force of Qi.

It was this boy who fought with Luo Ting and ultimately killed him!

The result was already very clear, so Xia Bojian did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he released a sharp blade of Qi, intending to sever Xifan's neck and end his life.

However, the blade of Qi, which was about to hit, suddenly scattered as if it had hit something. Then, a series of sharp whistling sounds followed, and the blade of Qi shattered, flying around the room, leaving sharp scratches on the table and walls, as if cut by a sharp blade.

"What are you doing?" Xia Bojian looked at Chu Min standing at the door. The blade of Qi that blocked his attack was also from her.

"I should be the one asking you." Chu Min said.

"He killed my student." Xia Bojian said.

"Then your student must have deserved it." Chu Min said. She clearly did not know what had happened, and she only saw the result, but her tone was very certain. It was domineering and unreasonable.

Xia Bojian was extremely angry, but he laughed in anger. After laughing, he said coldly, "Why do I feel that my student was protecting the female students of this academy and was killed by the murderer?"

"You're overthinking it." Chu Min said, still without any evidence, but she dared to speak so confidently.

Xia Bojian laughed in anger again.

"Unreasonable." He said, no longer intending to argue with Chu Min. He once again summoned his soul force, determined to see how far Chu Min would dare to go in stopping him.

Crack...

The sound of something breaking.

Chu Min, who always carried a bottle of wine, casually threw it to the ground, shattering it. She looked at Xia Bojian seriously and told him, word by word, "If you keep this up, I will beat you to death."

Xia Bojian, the vice-principal of the Tianzhao Academy, being threatened with "beating to death" was something no one, including Xia Bojian himself, could have ever imagined. But now, it was happening. Xia Bojian wanted to see how far Chu Min would dare to go, and he saw that it was a matter of life and death.

You dare!

If it were anyone else, Xia Bojian would have already said this. But facing Chu Min, he did not say it because he knew she really would. Whether she could beat him to death was secondary, but her determination and courage, Chu Min definitely had.

"What are you doing..." he said angrily, but he had already withdrawn his soul force. This statement was more of a complaint than anger.

Many people arrived one after another, not just Qiao Cheng, Shi Zhongtian, and Lu Ping. Many people heard Wen Yan's cry, and soon the small room was crowded with mentors and students. The academy's physician had also arrived, along with Principal Yun Chong. Now, everyone knew not just Wen Yan's cry but also that Luo Ting was dead, seemingly killed by the mountain student who had invaded the academy.

There were four mountain students who invaded the academy, which one? Some people inevitably asked.

The girl, she was the most fierce. Some thought.

It was the one with the straw hat, that guy had many tricks, and he seemed very skilled at killing. Some believed.

It must be the one in gray, to be able to kill Luo Ting, he must have a strength of at least thirty points! Some were certain.

No, it was the one who was always carried, the two-point youth! This was the ultimate truth, a truth no one had expected.

(We're about to go live at midnight, are you ready? Do you have your monthly votes? I'm asking in advance...)
