Things Seemed to Have Escalated

When he said that, he suddenly felt as though something had fixed its gaze on him.

Like the gaze of a god in the heavens suddenly falling upon him.

Guang Biao shuddered.

Ya Li could no longer endure it. Never mind anything else—she had Wu Changkong make a move first.

She quickly released her Martial Soul herself—or rather, she and Wu Changkong released their Martial Souls at the same time.

"Who allowed you to insult my little Yun Mu?" The six black and three red Soul Rings beneath Ya Li drew everyone's attention. The pressure unique to a level ninety-eight Super Douluo instantly crushed Guang Biao to the ground.

"Master's Wife." Yun Mu quickly withdrew his Martial Soul and respectfully greeted Ya Li.

"May I ask... who... are you... senior?" Guang Biao's voice could barely come out. He could only ask word by word, spitting blood.

"My title is Holy Spirit."

Those six words instantly drained all fight from Guang Biao. There was only one thought in his heart: he was finished.

On the Devil Islands, unknown to anyone, the Power of Destruction and Life Force surged without cease.

This terrifying divine power seemed enraged, as if it wanted to break through the islands at any moment and rush in a certain direction.

Meanwhile, the Shrek Seven Devils of that generation on the Devil Islands were communicating with those two forces of divine power, trying to calm their fury.

Perhaps the divine power's reaction had been too intense, stirring the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power of this world.

At this moment, the weather across the entire Douluo Continent changed. The sky darkened, thick clouds gathered, and Eastsea City not only shared the conditions of other places, but was also accompanied by thunder and lightning carrying an aura of annihilation.

The situation above Eastsea Academy was especially severe.

The Eastsea Federation realized something was wrong, so they invited Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, who understood heaven and earth best, to head for the area where the clouds were densest.

Zhen Hua respectfully greeted Ya Li. "Greetings, Holy Spirit Douluo, Your Excellency."

"Divine Craftsman, Your Excellency." Ya Li did not withdraw her pressure. "I suggest you investigate this Captain Guang Biao thoroughly. Not only did he insult my Brother Ming's student, he also indulged his younger brother in beating and abusing ordinary civilians to collect protection money."

"What a Captain Guang Biao. He privately mobilized the Soul Guidance Mecha Brigade and even attacked a school without authorization. It seems your time as Mecha Brigade Captain has come to an end." The Federation officials immediately seized on the key point.

The guards also stepped forward and shackled Captain Guang Biao, who had already been crushed so thoroughly that he could not move.

"I have a suggestion for you. Investigate this Guang Long properly as well. He's probably got quite a few unjust debts on his hands." Yun Mu said with a smile.

The official nodded. "Thank you for informing us, little brother."

Soon, a large number of guards arrived and took away every member of the Mecha Brigade who had caused trouble.

At that moment, the dark clouds seemed to disperse considerably, though they clearly had not yet dissipated enough.

However, it allowed Zhen Hua to notice part of the reason—when a Divine Craftsman carried out Heavenly Forging, he was inherently communicating with heaven and earth.

"The cause of this weather change may be Guang Biao, and this is not merely a simple weather change. It is Heavenly Wrath," Zhen Hua said calmly.

The official nodded to show that he understood, and that large group of people quickly departed.

Yet Zhen Hua's words caught Wu Changkong and Ya Li's attention.

Heavenly Wrath!

What kind of person could provoke Heavenly Wrath merely because someone insulted them?

Ya Li suddenly recalled Yun Ming saying that Yun Mu might be their hope of becoming gods.

It seemed Brother Ming had been right.

"Little Yun Mu, were you hurt?" Ya Li asked gently.

Yun Mu shook his head.

"Alright, I'll go see how this matter develops. You stay here and cultivate properly." Ya Li smiled.

Wu Changkong glanced at them. "Let's go. You'd all better not leave the academy tonight. Yun Mu, you're exempt."

"No, Brother Mu caused the trouble. Why can't we go out?" Xie Xie wailed.

Wu Changkong glared at Xie Xie. "What do you think? Say that again when your strength catches up to Brother Mu's."

After saying that, Wu Changkong withdrew the Martial Soul he had not needed to use.

Everyone returned to their cultivation, and night fell.

As expected, the Golden Dragon King bloodline inside Tang Wulin erupted again.

Yun Mu's Martial Soul stepped in to suppress it once more. In his hazy state, Yun Mu seemed to hear Tang San's curses and cries of agony.

The awakening of the Golden Dragon King bloodline was suppressed once again.

The next morning, Tang Wulin felt refreshed, while Yun Mu felt his Soul Power being consumed rapidly.

"Come on, let's hurry up and eat." Xie Xie said after getting down from the upper bunk.

The three of them headed to the Cafeteria together.

Eating, studying, and the Promotion Tournament quickly filled their entire day.

That evening, Ya Li sent word that the brothers Guang Biao and Guang Long had been sentenced to death.

At the same moment they died, all the gloom in the sky seemed to completely disperse.

However, Ya Li did not tell him about the connection between that matter and him.

In truth, the sentence should not have been that severe—or rather, Guang Biao should not have been sentenced so harshly. Unfortunately, the person he had tried to kill was the only Apprentice of the Divine Craftsman, as well as the only Apprentice of the number one person in the world.

The Federation had to give Shrek and the Divine Craftsman an explanation.

His life was the best explanation.

Yun Mu lay on his bed and smiled. Sure enough, whether one upheld justice or abused one's power, the most important thing was status.

If he had merely been an ordinary person, even if he had died, those two might not have received any punishment at all.

Just like in his previous life, even when he fought back against others' violence, he was always the one at fault in the end.

Yun Mu smiled bitterly, but it no longer mattered.

In this life, he had enough power to protect himself and the people around him.

He just needed more time.

At the same time, because they had won three battles in three matches, coupled with the incident of blocking the gate the previous night, Class 5, First Grade became the center of attention.

Especially Yun Mu's existence—a Soul Elder with three purple Soul Rings, who could even stand up against a six-ringed Soul Emperor.

After dinner, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Yun Mu were preparing to return to their dormitory when Gu Yue blocked their path.

"Brother Yun Mu, can I talk to you about something?" Gu Yue asked somewhat shyly.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Mu nodded.

The two of them walked into the small grove nearby.

"Um, Brother Yun Mu, can I go out and have fun with you in a couple of days? I..." Gu Yue said awkwardly.

"Ah, sure. But if it's Saturday or Sunday, I might be going with Xie Xie and the others." Yun Mu scratched his head.

"It's... it's fine. I'll go with you all." Gu Yue seemed a little unhappy, her two index fingers poking together.

At that moment, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie whispered gossip beside them. "Wulin, do you think Gu Yue likes your brother?"
