The Mysterious Girl

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Wutong Avenue.

Beneath the shade of the wutong trees, a girl in a gorgeous purple dress walked alone, her stunningly beautiful face carrying an intimidating aloofness and indifference.

Her beautiful, silky purple hair drifted in the wind. Her features were defined and exquisite, and her deep violet eyes were bright and clear, yet held a distant indifference and icy coldness that kept others at arm's length.

Her delicate nose stood high, her red lips were full and sensual, and her skin was as fair and smooth as snow-white jade.

She looked no more than twelve or thirteen, yet she was tall and graceful, standing a full 1.7 meters. The purple dress outlined her exquisite, elegant curves.

She sensed Xue Beng and the others' undisguised, ill-intentioned stares, as well as their lecherous grins as they rushed toward her.

A trace of coldness flashed through the purple-haired girl's beautiful eyes.

Dazzling soul rings emerged around her body.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black!

Five rings, a Soul King!

A girl of merely twelve or thirteen had actually reached the terrifying Soul Power Level of over fifty.

The lustful, infatuated looks in Xue Beng and the others' eyes instantly cleared.

They abruptly stopped, turned around, and fled.

Watching Xue Beng and the others flee in panic, the coldness in the purple-haired girl's eyes slowly faded, and the terrifying soul rings around her gradually vanished.

Unfortunately, only Xue Beng and the others witnessed such a shocking scene. There were no other spectators, or they would surely have cried out in alarm.

The minor interruption did not concern the purple-haired girl. She concealed her aura and continued toward the new student registration area.

Elsewhere, only after running a long way did Xue Beng and the others stop, panting heavily as they collapsed onto a bench by the roadside, their faces still filled with lingering fear.

That was too terrifying. A twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl was actually a Soul King!

They felt as though they were trapped in a dream, with everything seeming so unreal.

After resting for quite a while, Xue Beng and the others barely managed to recover their senses.

"Damn it, that bitch left me full of pent-up fire. No, I need to blow off some steam right now. Let's go to Beauty Pavilion!"

Xue Beng cursed.

The noble lackeys nodded eagerly in agreement.

Just then, a yellow-haired young noble became so excited that he could barely speak coherently.

"B-Boss, look! That girl is smoking hot! She's just as beautiful as the girl from before!"

"Where? Where?!"

Xue Beng instantly perked up. Following the yellow-haired lackey's pointing finger, his eyes immediately widened.

"Holy shit! She really is damn gorgeous, not the least bit inferior to that girl from earlier!!"

"Let's go! I refuse to believe this girl can be a Soul King too!!"

"Boss, what about the male companion beside that girl?"

Xue Beng snorted coldly. "What about him? Do I need to teach you? Same old rule: if he doesn't scram, break one of his legs.

"At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, there's nobody I, Xue Beng, can't afford to provoke!"

"Got it!" The lackeys laughed arrogantly and followed Xue Beng as they swaggered toward the man and woman.

September's weather was still scorching. Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian wore summer clothes as they chatted and laughed on their way to the new student registration area.

Having just arrived, Lin Tianyi did not want to cause trouble. But if trouble came looking for him, he would not be the slightest bit afraid.

Looking at the gang of thugs before him, led by a handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes, Lin Tianyi saw that they completely ignored him and openly swept their lecherous gazes over Lin Xianxian beside him.

Their eyes lingered longest on Lin Xianxian's sensitive areas.

Lin Tianyi's gaze abruptly turned cold, his voice frigid. "I don't feel like fighting today. You'd better get lost right now."

Hearing this, Xue Beng and the others were first stunned, then burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahaha! Boss, did you hear that? This brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet actually dared to threaten us! Hahahahaha, I'm dying!"

The lackeys laughed so hard they staggered back and forth, bending over and clutching their stomachs as though they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Xue Beng laughed loudly as he walked up to Lin Tianyi, mockery in his eyes. "Kid, do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that? Kneel now, and later I might even let you watch while I enjoy your female companion..."

Lin Tianyi raised his right hand high and, expressionless, viciously slapped Xue Beng across the face.

Smack—!!!!

A crisp, resounding slap suddenly rang out.

Xue Beng spun through the air three times like a top before flying backward and crashing to the ground. Half his face swelled red at a visible rate, several teeth fell out, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He lay on the ground, screaming in pain.

"Boss!!"

The lackeys cried out and rushed over to help Xue Beng up, all talking over one another in concern.

Xue Beng violently shoved them away and glared at Lin Tianyi with resentful hatred. "Kid, you're finished! No one has ever dared to slap my face! I'll kill you!!"

After saying that, he abruptly turned and roared at the lackeys beside him, "What are you standing around for? Get him! Beat him to death—I'll take responsibility!!"

The lackeys hurriedly nodded.

But before they could make a move,

the light before their eyes suddenly dimmed. Then, an overbearing black shadow crashed down like a meteor, making the earth tremble.

A violent blast of air abruptly sent Xue Beng's lackeys flying. Their faces stung as they rolled across the ground in miserable howls.

Xue Beng was also blasted away, but just as he flew backward—

suddenly!

A leg came crashing down onto Xue Beng's shoulder like Mount Tai, forcing both his legs to buckle as he dropped to his knees.

With a thunderous thud, the hard marble beneath his knees cracked like a spiderweb, accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking bones.

"Ah!!!!" Piercing agony shot through both knees, and Xue Beng let out a miserable scream.

But immediately afterward, a pale hand clamped tightly around Xue Beng's neck like steel pincers, choking off every scream in his throat and leaving him unable to make a single sound.

Xue Beng felt himself being lifted upright. Unable to breathe, he opened his eyes, and his pupils suddenly contracted in terror, as though he had seen something unimaginably horrifying.

Before him,

a pair of cold, indifferent black eyes contained not the slightest trace of human emotion. Only chilling, absolute killing intent filled those eyes. They were like the eyes of the Grim Reaper from hell, staring straight at him.

Xue Beng's entire body shook violently as overwhelming terror welled up within him. For the first time, he felt the threat of death.

He could clearly feel an icy killing intent wrapping around him completely, as though he had fallen into an ice cellar, sending chills through his entire body.

He... he really dares to kill me!

Xue Beng was terrified as never before, his body trembling uncontrollably. His instinct to survive forced him to speak with difficulty. "I... am... a prince. You... can't kill me..."

Lin Tianyi's expression remained indifferent, his gaze still cold and calm without the slightest ripple. Yet a mocking curve formed at the corner of his mouth. "A prince? Trash like you is actually a prince? What a joke!"

Humiliated by the mockery, Xue Beng's face twisted with humiliation and venomous hatred.

A cruel sneer curled across Lin Tianyi's lips. The hand gripping Xue Beng's neck suddenly exerted force, and he viciously smashed him into the ground as though throwing a stone.

Bang!!!

Xue Beng's back slammed into the ground, jolting his internal organs violently. His body felt as though it had split apart from the searing pain, his eyes bulging as agonized screams and wails poured from his wide-open mouth.

Lin Tianyi expressionlessly raised his right foot and mercilessly stomped directly on Xue Beng's mouth, forcibly silencing him.

Lowering his gaze, Lin Tianyi looked down at the terrified Xue Beng beneath his foot and said indifferently, "I heard you say that you wanted to break one of my legs."

Xue Beng's eyes widened abruptly. His body struggled frantically as he mumbled indistinctly through Lin Tianyi's foot, "What... do you... want to do..."

Lin Tianyi's eyes were cold as he enunciated each word. "I have always repaid every grievance in full!"
