Du Qiangwei's decisive departure was the right move. Within the academy, she couldn't truly go on a killing spree, and without doing so, no matter how powerful she was, she wouldn't have been able to handle so many people.
The male students dared not storm the female dormitories, but they could block the vicinity of the main entrance. However, this tactic was largely ineffective against Du Qiangwei, as she didn't need to use the main entrance at all. With Micro Wormhole Transport Technology, she could phase through walls and enter rooms, leaving all the enraged male students helpless.
Facing a single or a small group of male students, Du Qiangwei was confident she could easily defeat anyone and wasn't afraid at all. Thus, over the past few days, Du Qiangwei had appeared quite mysterious, a phantom seen only fleetingly. Meanwhile, a few unlucky guys from the male side were admitted to the campus hospital every day.
This incident seemed to be causing a huge stir, with widespread outrage, yet the school administration made no move, appearing to condulge the escalating situation.
Wei Zitong keenly noticed this, believing the school might be using Du Qiangwei to screen talent, sending all the unqualified ones to the hospital. Consequently, he had been exceptionally sensitive to any unusual activity these past few days.
A few days later, events unfolded exactly as Wei Zitong had predicted. The students who had been sent to the hospital never returned to their dormitories, and the male dormitories suddenly had many empty spots.
"Dad, is it really okay to do this? The elimination rate is just too high!" Du Qiangwei stood on the rooftop of the school's administrative building, speaking to Du Kao, who was leaning against the railing and smoking.
Although she had shown no mercy in her actions these past few days, carrying out the mission was one thing; what she truly felt in her heart was another.
"Lena will arrive on Earth in a few days, and the eliminations will be even more brutal then," Du Kao said with a calm expression. "If the students you eliminated were to remain in the Super Seminary class, their lives could be in danger."
"She's that ruthless?" Du Qiangwei couldn't help but frown. At the same time, she disliked the idea of Earth's Super Soldiers being ultimately screened by an alien.
"It's not about her," Du Kao said, crushing the cigarette butt on the ground and turning to look at his daughter. "Have you ever witnessed true Stellar Drive Technology?"
Du Qiangwei shook her head.
"I have..." Du Kao seemed lost in a distant memory, speaking as if in a daze. "It was a long, long time ago, in the Deno Galaxy. The sun exploded in the sky, and the sunlight that once illuminated everything scorched the earth, melting all visible matter..."
As he spoke, Du Kao let out a bitter, self-mocking chuckle. "In short, Lena either doesn't act, or when she does, ordinary people can't resist her."
Du Qiangwei was unaware of what had happened to her father's generation. In fact, Du Kao and the other descendants of Deno hadn't told her much about Deno's secrets, so she didn't quite understand her father's feelings and was somewhat dismissive of Lena's impending arrival. She just listened silently, without a word.
The male dormitories were now a place of constant anxiety, with some students unable to bear the pressure and dropping out directly. Wei Zitong's dormitory had been full, but the last student to arrive was the first to buckle under the pressure and join the ranks of those who dropped out. Dorm B209 was once again occupied by three people, maintaining a good three-person formation with the adjacent dorm, B210.
Actually, the three guys in dorm B210 had also encountered Du Qiangwei when they went out alone. However, those three were thick-skinned and resilient, able to take a lot of punishment. Even though Du Qiangwei had beaten them to the ground and unable to move, they immediately sprang back to life and slipped away as soon as she left.
The three in dorm B209 maintained their good habit of sticking together, especially Liu Chuang. As a former gang leader, he was adept at forming factions.
"I'm telling you, the reason humans are stronger than animals is because humans are united and like to act in groups. That's why no matter how powerful the beast, humans can defeat it with collective strength!" Liu Chuang began to preach his faction-forming philosophy again, which sounded quite plausible.
Wuji Yi nodded repeatedly as he listened, while Wei Zitong could only offer a wry smile.
The main reason was that Du Qiangwei had been too aggressive lately, and everyone was scared. Regardless of how powerful their Super Genes were, these individuals were all novices for now. Du Qiangwei, on the other hand, due to her family background, had been trained in the military since childhood and was already a qualified soldier. It was truly as easy as slicing vegetables for a soldier to deal with novices, let alone a soldier with Super Genes?
"So, we need to put our strength together, right?" Liu Chuang said, spittle flying. "As long as we stay united, that Du Qiangwei won't have a chance to target us, right?"
"Yosh, that's the way!" Wuji Yi nodded, giving Liu Chuang a thumbs-up. "You've got a point!"
"Heh, exactly!" Liu Chuang was very pleased with Wuji Yi's quick understanding. What if he entered the Super Seminary? He was confident he could continue to be a gang leader. Look, he already had a follower now. He leaned back on the bed leisurely, swinging his legs, and said, "This college life isn't bad. We don't have to do anything, just eat and sleep every day. If I had known, I should have gone to college after graduating from high school!"
"Indeed!" Wuji Yi suddenly stood up. "If we continue to be so lax, my sword will rust. It's time for me to challenge that Du Qiangwei!"
"Sigh, Old Yi, don't..." Liu Chuang quickly got up to stop Wuji Yi, who was about to rush out.
"Wait!" Wei Zitong shushed them, signaling them to be quiet. Then, he spoke towards the wall of dorm B210, "The soundproofing on the wall is ineffective!"
After that, the three of them heard the secret plans of the three guys next door.
Cheng Yaowen: "First step, we need to figure out her whereabouts."
Zhao Xin: "She's elusive, how are we supposed to track her? If I could, I would have tracked her long ago!"
Ge Xiaolun: "Yeah, we don't have that ability!"
Cheng Yaowen: "Xiaolun, aren't you particularly sensitive to energy? You go out alone and lure her out!"
Ge Xiaolun: "Holy crap, why aren't you and Brother Xin going?"
Cheng Yaowen and Zhao Xin said in unison: "You can take a beating!"
Ge Xiaolun: "..."
Cheng Yaowen: "Then, Brother Xin, you have the fastest speed. After Xiaolun gets beaten, you're responsible for tracking her!"
Zhao Xin: "No problem, leave it to me!"
Cheng Yaowen: "Secondly, we need to do it when she's not carrying a weapon, preferably when she's caught off guard!"
Zhao Xin: "And then? And then?"
Cheng Yaowen: "Then, Xiaolun is responsible for drawing her attention by confronting her head-on, and Brother Xin is responsible for a quick sneak attack!"
Ge Xiaolun: "Are you kidding me? Why me again?"
Cheng Yaowen and Zhao Xin said in unison: "You can take a beating!"
Ge Xiaolun: "..."
Then, after a moment of silence, Zhao Xin and Ge Xiaolun asked in unison: "What are you going to do?"
Cheng Yaowen: "I'll be responsible for commanding from the center and delivering the final blow, hehehe!"
Zhao Xin and Ge Xiaolun cursed in unison: "Go to hell!"
Wei Zitong couldn't help but admire Cheng Yaowen. As expected of a royal descendant, he already possessed preliminary command abilities. However, their plan for tomorrow was doomed to fail. Du Qiangwei wasn't that easy to deal with. They thought that if Du Qiangwei didn't carry a weapon, she wouldn't have one. The greatest advantage of Micro Wormhole Transport Technology was that as long as the wormhole transport code was set, it was equivalent to carrying a spatial arsenal, allowing her to retrieve the most suitable equipment at any time.
Just then, Wei Zitong's phone vibrated a few times. He opened it and immediately chuckled. Given how crude the three guys' plan was, there was actually a traitor – someone who, while outwardly coerced by brotherhood into fighting alongside his brothers, was actually worried about Du Qiangwei getting hurt.
"I can sense it, have you activated that ability of yours to eavesdrop again? How about this, let's call it even. Tell Qiangwei our plan in detail. I don't want her to get hurt. Remember not to mention my name to Qiangwei – Ge Xiaolun."
It seemed Ge Xiaolun wasn't stupid. By sending the message to Wei Zitong, he was giving Wei Zitong a favor by having him act as an informant. This way, Du Qiangwei wouldn't hold back, and it could be said that he was even implicating Ge Xiaolun himself. This way, he could preserve brotherhood and protect Du Qiangwei, a true triple win!
