Seeing Chu Sheng's slightly stunned expression, Long Liang waved his hand.
"I'm not usually like this, I'm just excited."
"Uh, I plan to deal with the Sun Family's matters myself. I just wanted you to help me handle Lingyue Academy and buy me some time."
"How much time?"
"Until the college entrance examination ends."
Long Liang was taken aback.
Until the college entrance examination ended? That was only twenty days away.
Did he mean that after twenty days, they wouldn't have to fear this Sun Family?
How weak could this Sun Family be...
"No problem!" Long Liang agreed immediately.
After he left.
Not long after, news of Chu Sheng being specially recruited by Dragon Martial Academy spread through the school.
The students in the elite class were mostly fine.
They weren't familiar with Chu Sheng to begin with, only knowing he was strong. And on the few occasions they'd seen him, he was busy beating people up.
First, it was Qin Feng and his three lackeys.
Then, Ye Fan.
Later, they even heard that Shu Li had also been beaten by him.
It was good that someone like him was specially recruited early, lest he decide to beat them up one day out of boredom.
The most shocked, however, had to be the students of Class Four.
Originally, they had likened Chu Sheng's entry into the elite class to him being specially recruited.
Their emotions were already complicated.
Now, he was actually specially recruited, and to Great Xia's top academy at that!
Who could they even complain to about this?
It wasn't that they hadn't heard stories of dark horses making comebacks, but this was a bit too much of a comeback, almost like taking flight.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
In a dark corner of the school, Lin Chuan crawled forward frantically, his expression twisted.
He had been playing the pig to eat the tiger for two and a half years, and just when he was about to make a stunning debut, he was beaten like a pig again, and in front of so many people.
After the elite class selection competition, Lin Chuan had doubled his cultivation efforts, hoping to one day get revenge on Chu Sheng.
He never expected that by now, he could barely even see Chu Sheng's taillights.
"What!!? Specially recruited by Dragon Martial Academy!!!"
Sun Zhanting almost fell over when he heard the news.
With Dragon Martial Academy as their backing, Could this revenge still be taken?
Thinking of Sun Ling'er's and Sun Qi's miserable state, Sun Zhanting felt his heart bleeding.
Such deep-seated hatred, of course, had to be avenged!
For this, he was willing to gamble his own life!
However, just as he had decided that he would kill Chu Sheng even if he had to face repercussions from Dragon Martial Academy afterward.
Long Liang had already flown over the Sun Family's residence.
His voice was like thunder.
"I won't waste words. If Chu Sheng loses even a single hair before the college entrance examination, none of your family will be spared, remember, your entire family!"
"I've already retrieved your entire family's files from Wind Chasing Hall. Not a single one of you will escape."
Then, Long Liang's aura suddenly surged, carrying a heart-palpitating pressure.
"These words are not on behalf of Dragon Martial Academy."
"But on behalf of the Long family of Dongyun Province!"
As his voice fell, Long Liang flew away, the terrifying pressure disappearing.
The ordinary people in the Sun family without cultivation instantly collapsed to the ground.
Sweating profusely.
Sun Zhanting was also forced to abandon his thoughts of revenge.
Dragon Martial Academy might be reasonable, but the Long family behind them would not be.
Such a colossal entity could easily deal with a mere Sun Family.
They wouldn't even need to lift a finger; just a casual whisper about it, and countless people below would rush to help them!
Besides, there wasn't much time left before the college entrance exam. They could make their move then.
However, what piqued his curiosity was, if the Long Family wanted to protect Chu Sheng, why only for this limited time?
Could it be that after the college entrance exam, Chu Sheng would have the means to protect himself?
He'd have to see about that.
Sun Zhanting's expression grew more ferocious...
In the courtyard, an eight-year-old child wiped his nose and pouted.
"The Long Family, are they that awesome?"
His father immediately slapped him.
"What's in your head, garbage? Let me ask you, what was the surname of the first head of our Great Xia Federation!?"
The child frowned.
"Chu!?"
If you find this book good, please add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
His father slapped him again.
"Your mom's surname is Chu, it's Long!"
"Let me ask you again, what was the surname of the second head?"
The child's brow immediately relaxed.
"I know this one, it's Baili..."
A look of relief flashed across his father's face.
Then, the child continued, "Same surname as Baili Shouyue. A hundred miles in the long night, a permanent promise. You hit me twice today, so I should be able to play Honor of Kings for two hours, right?"
His father smacked his forehead and let out a long howl.
"Ma Yun, damn all eight generations of your ancestors."
The young man beside him reminded him, "Fourth Uncle, you're crying at the wrong grave, that's Ma Huateng..."
Time quickly flew by until evening.
The Lingyue Academy group finally arrived in Baian City.
There was no time for any rest.
The trio first went to Wind Chasing Hall to retrieve Chu Sheng's detailed information.
A student from a top-tier academy being murdered was a major case.
Wind Chasing Hall dared not refuse to cooperate.
Once they learned Chu Sheng's address, the trio immediately rushed over.
Chu Sheng was living in government-subsidized housing.
The neighbors were all crowded in, poor people.
With the trio rushing over in a hurry, the commotion was naturally unavoidable.
Someone recognized the emblem on their chests.
"It's people from Lingyue Academy, we have a student from Lingyue Academy living here?"
"No way, that's a top-tier academy. People living here would be incredibly lucky to get into a third-tier academy."
"Didn't I hear that someone named Chu Sheng in our building got specially recruited?"
"That's nonsense. That kid was my junior high classmate, do I not know him? If he could get specially recruited, I'll eat my shoe."
Wang Lian and the other two arrived in front of Chu Sheng's room.
The door was open, and a middle-aged man was sitting inside.
"Who are you!? Where's Chu Sheng?"
The information they had didn't mention Chu Sheng having any relatives.
"Dragon Martial Academy, Long Liang. The Chu Sheng you're looking for has already been specially recruited by our school."
Upon hearing this, the trio's expressions instantly changed.
The name Dragon Martial Academy was incredibly renowned; it was a top-tier academy a whole level above their Lingyue Academy!
Wang Lian hesitated for a moment, then mustered up her courage.
"Even if he's your student, that doesn't change the fact that he killed someone. We need to take him back for questioning."
Long Liang nodded.
"That's reasonable, but what if I ask for your evidence? You'd be stumped, wouldn't you?"
There were no surveillance cameras in the Abyssal Depths.
With no witnesses and no physical evidence, they wanted to arrest someone?
Not a chance!
"Get lost. Someone at the ninth level can't even beat someone at the fifth level. Such a good-for-nothing is just wasting spiritual rice by living. I can't believe you have the nerve to try and arrest someone." Wang Lian glanced at the other two, who both shook their heads.
The meaning was clear:
They couldn't afford to offend Dragon Martial Academy.
They weren't taking this person back today.
Just as she walked out of the residential area, Wang Lian suddenly had a realization.
"Wait, Chu Sheng was only at the fifth level of meridian opening. Why would Dragon Martial Academy send a special recruitment for him!?"
"Could that person just now have been a fraud?"
However, it was at this moment.
BOOM
A muffled thunderclap suddenly ripped through the sky.
The clouds west of the city churned violently, and purple lightning tore through the firmament.
Blinding lightning flowed down like a waterfall!
Long Liang's jaw dropped.
"Don't tell me that kid caused this?"
When he left school at noon, Chu Sheng had said he was going to the Abyssal Depths west of the city for special training.
The special recruitment personnel from top academies who remained saw this shocking phenomenon and immediately became excited.
"This looks like someone awakening their talent! Such a massive disturbance means they're at least A-class! Maybe even S-class!"
"A talented martial artist with at least A-class potential? Isn't that even more prodigious than Chu Sheng?"
"This is truly a turn for the better. Hurry, hurry, let's go see which family's genius this is."
