At that moment, Su Ming was genuinely angry.

He could brush off the earlier minor squabbles, muttering a few complaints under his breath and acting like nothing had happened.

But this time, Su Ming couldn't tolerate it.

It was one thing for Xu Qianqian and An Zijin to be at each other's throats like this, but the fact that they were ignoring him and carrying on as if he wasn't there, starting a conflict because of him, and treating him like a tool, really pissed him off.

So, Su Ming didn't care anymore. He threw caution to the wind and flipped the table right then and there.

"Do you think you're so high and mighty? Do you think being campus belles makes you so great?"

"Yeah, you have admirers everywhere. You can find another guy anywhere!"

"You have the capital to make people dance around you, to do whatever you want."

"I don't care if what you're doing is right or wrong, and I don't care what you want to do, as long as you don't drag me into it!"

Su Ming openly berated the two beautiful campus belles in front of everyone.

"I'm not a tool for you to create conflict, nor am I someone you can approach or get close to whenever you want, and then push aside when you want to cause trouble!"

"You want to argue?"

"You want to duel?"

"Fine!"

"Go find a place to settle it yourselves in secret. Don't stick me in the middle and use me as an excuse!"

Su Ming's angry voice echoed throughout the carriage.

Everyone stared blankly at Su Ming's outburst, including Xu Qianqian and An Zijin.

"Su... Su Ming, Brother?"

An Zijin's inner mode disappeared, as if she had been shocked awake by Su Ming's anger, and she immediately became soft and pitiful.

"... "

Xu Qianqian also looked stunned, staring straight at Su Ming, seemingly completely surprised that he would lash out at her like this.

As for the others, needless to say, they couldn't believe that anyone in this world could actually yell at Xu Qianqian and An Zijin.

Su Ming didn't say anything in response, just exhaled.

"Tired, going to sleep. Don't bother me."

With that, Su Ming seemed to lose interest in everything. He sat back down, pulled an eye mask out of his backpack, put it on, crossed his arms, and fell asleep.

Xu Qianqian and An Zijin both looked at Su Ming like that, and for a moment, they seemed a little at a loss.

The others in the carriage remained silent for a while before finally speaking up.

"This guy is a Ruthless Wolf."

Indeed.

In the eyes of these people, Su Ming had become a Ruthless Wolf.

"I respect him as a man."

"He's definitely the first person in history to dare to yell at Xu Qianqian and An Zijin like that, right?"

"He's a real character."

People began to whisper among themselves.

Clearly, Su Ming's performance had impressed them.

Even Lei Hao and Ye Bai exchanged glances and smiled wryly at each other.

Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu shrank their shoulders, looking weak and helpless.

The entire carriage was once again filled with a silent atmosphere, but this time the silence was no longer strange.

The train from the city center to Huaming District took about three hours to arrive.

During those three hours, some people were catching up on sleep, some were chatting, and some were idly browsing forums, posting and wasting time as usual.

Thanks to this, the incident of Su Ming yelling at Xu Qianqian and An Zijin smoothly became the top news of the day.

"No way? Xu Qianqian and An Zijin actually got scolded?"

"This Su Ming is too ruthless, isn't he?"

"He just scolds such a beautiful goddess?"

"Is he that lacking in manners?"

The onlookers said whatever came to mind. Without knowing the whole story, they naturally said whatever they wanted, without any consideration.

However, some keen observers noticed the key point.

"Shouldn't we be focusing on the fact that Xu Qianqian ran to another carriage to find Su Ming?"

"The top students clearly have better first-class seats. Xu Qianqian didn't sit in the top student carriage, but instead ran to the general student carriage to find Su Ming?"

"And she even went up against An Zijin."

"I hate that I wasn't there."

"Same here, the clash of two goddesses, it's just too exciting."

The blind students who noticed the key point immediately started discussing it heatedly.

The sensation this caused gave the impression that these onlookers were still in the academy, rather than having already set off for the battlefield.

This shows how much attention this matter has garnered.

But, it's not surprising.

In this era of information overload, even a conflict between ordinary people on a train can be recorded and uploaded online, let alone conflicts between influential figures like Su Ming, Xu Qianqian, and An Zijin.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a departure for war, and causing too much commotion would likely result in punishment, many onlookers would probably have couldn't resist running to Su Ming's carriage to watch, right?

Of course, the onlookers in that carriage were demonstrating excellent posting skills.

"I'm at the scene, completely dumbfounded."

"Nothing to say, Su Ming is a real man."

"The goddesses are fighting over him, but he's spitting lotus mist at them."

"If it were me..."

"Upstairs, first of all, you don't have any goddesses around you, and secondly, the goddesses wouldn't fight over you."

"That hits hard, old heart."

Amidst such waves of commotion, Su Ming actually fell asleep.

He was already sleep-deprived, and now he'd been angered like that, even Su Ming felt tired, both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, this time, no one disturbed him anymore.

Su Ming slept through the entire journey until he vaguely heard some broadcast announcements and was shaken awake.

"Su Ming, Brother Su Ming..."

A familiar and timid voice entered Su Ming's ears, waking him up.

"What's up? Have we arrived?"

Su Ming took off his eye mask and opened his eyes with a dazed expression.

The first thing Su Ming saw upon opening his eyes was Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu sitting opposite him, silent and even a little nervous.

Then, Su Ming was surprised to find that not only An Zijin but even Xu Qianqian was sitting quietly beside him.

"Brother Su Ming, we've arrived," An Zijin said softly, her expression filled with a sense of caution, as if she were afraid.

"We're already here?" Su Ming stretched and glanced at Xu Qianqian, saying, "So you didn't go back?"

"Yeah." Xu Qianqian nodded lightly, her gaze shifting to Su Ming, and asked, "You're not angry anymore?"

There was even a hint of caution in her words.

Su Ming suddenly felt a sense of novelty.

Who would have thought that this Miss Xu would actually be afraid of making someone angry?

Of course, Su Ming wouldn't say such a thing out loud.

"I'm not angry anymore," Su Ming stated expressionlessly, then stood up and said, "Since we've arrived, let's go."

"Okay!" An Zijin nodded repeatedly.

Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu also got up to pack their luggage as if they had been granted amnesty.

Lei Hao and Ye Bai seemed to have already packed, and they walked up from behind, silently giving Su Ming strange looks.

Su Ming ignored them and directly took his luggage, getting off the train with the others.

Xu Qianqian actually followed silently behind Su Ming, without any intention of returning to the top students' carriage.

Thus, many students disembarked from the train.

Ahead, a battle awaited them.

Huaming District, Longyao City.

When the Base City's detection department detected that an entrance to the Spirit Fiend Abyss was about to appear here, the area was isolated, and no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter.

Longyao Base City had already designated Huaming District as a major disaster area, evacuating the residents and taking them to other areas for refuge.

Now, three days had passed since the detection department detected that an entrance to the Spirit Fiend Abyss was about to appear here, prompting the Base City to decide to evacuate the population and isolate Huaming District from the outside world.

In these three days, although the residents here had not been completely evacuated, most of them had been.

Therefore, it was unlikely to see ordinary residents in Huaming District now. There were only military vehicles driving around and soldiers running back and forth, busy constructing battle lines.

Armed helicopters were flying in the sky.

A solemn atmosphere pervaded the ground.

This place had already become a military base, a battlefield.

Under the guidance of their instructors, the Demon Hunter Academy students exited the sealed-off station, preparing to head to the residences arranged for them in the Base City.

Su Ming and his group were mixed in with the crowd, but everyone around them unconsciously kept a bit of distance, making their group stand out.

"These guys..."

Su Ming was a little annoyed.

After all, he, who was determined to be a background character, really didn't want to do anything that would make him stand out.

But as it turned out, the onlookers were wise to stay away from Su Ming and his group.

Before long, someone barged into Su Ming's group.

"So, you're here, Qianqian."

Accompanied by these words, a handsome and imposing upperclassman led a group of people to Su Ming and the others.

Seeing this, Su Ming's heart stirred.

Beside him, Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu exclaimed excitedly.

"Senior Li Wei!"

"The top student of the Hunter Department!"

The newcomer was none other than Li Wei, the top student of the Hunter Department, the strongest hunter in the academy, and a fourth-year student.

"Senior Li Wei."

Lei Hao quickly bowed to Li Wei.

He was also a student of the Hunter Department, so he naturally held Li Wei, the top student, in high esteem.

"Hello."

Li Wei nodded to Lei Hao and the others, then his gaze shifted to Xu Qianqian.

"Senior."

Xu Qianqian nodded faintly to Li Wei, not at all as respectful to Li Wei as the other Hunter Department students were.

"Qianqian," Li Wei's attitude towards Xu Qianqian was extremely gentle. He said, "So you ran off here. I've been looking all over for you."

This attitude was clearly vastly different from when he faced others.

Su Ming confirmed it.

This senior was, as rumored, pursuing Xu Qianqian.
