The next morning.

Lin Suchou woke from the soft bed and looked at the stunning face sleeping on his chest, feeling indescribably comfortable.

"Who is Mu Chen?! Get the hell out here!"

Suddenly, a cold shout exploded like thunder throughout the Freshman District.

Even Wen Qingxuan was awakened by the shout, groggily opening her eyes.

"Who is it?"

"I'll go take a look. Go back to sleep."

Lin Suchou dispelled the Illusion Array inside the room, pushed open the door, and rushed toward the entrance of the Freshman District.

In an open area before the Freshman District.

A long-haired young man stood suspended in mid-air, his icy gaze fixed on the freshmen below. "Can't you hear me? Where is that freshman called Mu Chen? He had the guts to erase me from the Spirit Soul Ranking, but not the guts to show himself?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingling, Sun'er, Song Yuqing, and the others below finally understood.

It turned out that Mu Chen had taken his third-place position on the Spirit Soul Ranking yesterday, which was why he had come looking for trouble.

"Senior, Brother Mu went out and isn't here.

"If you have business with him, come back tomorrow."

As Mu Chen's girlfriend, Song Yuqing stepped forward to address him.

His contemptuous tone toward Mu Chen greatly displeased her.

The long-haired young man in mid-air moved and appeared above the open ground crowded with freshmen.

He sneered. "Went out? That coward is obviously hiding on purpose. I thought your batch of freshmen had some skill, but you're all just as timid and useless!"

The freshmen below all wore ugly expressions at those words, but wary of the young man's cultivation, they forcefully held themselves back.

"A bunch of useless trash."

Seeing the freshmen below swallow their anger, the young man mocked them again.

"Don't insult Elder Brother Mu Chen!"

At that moment, a crisp, childish voice rang out in anger.

Beside Ye Qingling, a little girl with twin ponytails had an angry look on her small face as her hands rapidly formed a light array.

"A Spirit Array?"

The long-haired young man was slightly startled when he saw Sun'er's light array.

Whoosh!

The light array finished forming, and a violent Wind Python swept out, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the long-haired young man.

"Hmph."

The long-haired young man merely slapped out with one palm, easily shattering the Wind Python into scattered points of light.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a violent beam of spiritual energy shot toward her.

Ye Qingling hurriedly stepped in front of Sun'er, releasing spiritual energy and condensing it into a light shield.

As she watched the beam draw closer and closer, she instinctively closed her eyes.

Boom.

An explosion rang out. Ye Qingling opened her eyes in confusion and saw that the spiritual energy beam had been intercepted by a purple fireball, exploding in mid-air.

"Who is it?!"

Seeing someone interfere, the long-haired young man glared ahead.

"Heh, so you're the idiot making all that noise early in the morning?

"You actually have the nerve to bully a little girl. Is this the dignity of an old student?"

A cold voice came from behind them. Ye Qingling and Sun'er turned around and saw a youth in a Blue Long Robe rushing over.

In the blink of an eye, he stood before the two of them.

"Lin Suchou?!"

The surrounding freshmen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him.

"Heh, your strength may be decent, but don't play that old hero-saving-the-beauty act in front of me."

Golden Flame Spirit Finger!

The long-haired young man pointed with one finger through the air. Golden Flame transformed into a streak of golden fire, tearing through the air as it shot toward Lin Suchou.

But Lin Suchou moved, first smashing the Golden Light apart with a palm strike before suddenly appearing behind the young man and kicking out.

Pfft.

The young man only felt an enormous force strike his back, and his entire body plummeted downward.

He tried to adjust himself with spiritual energy in mid-air, but Lin Suchou closed in again, grabbed his hair with his right hand, and viciously slammed him into the ground.

Boom!

His head smashed a huge crater into the ground.

"Do you admit you were wrong?"

"N-No, I don't!"

Boom...

"Do you admit you were wrong?"

"I do, I do."

Boom!

"Why are you still hitting me?"

"This is your punishment for disturbing people's sleep this morning."

Seeing that he could not escape Lin Suchou's iron grip, the long-haired young man quickly gave in.

"You're tough, but I'm from the Green Red Society. Don't regret this!"

"The Green Red Society? Heh, your society happens to owe a friend of mine Spirit Value. Hand over your Spirit Value Card."

Lin Suchou extended a hand toward him.

"That's a debt my boss owes your friend. I don't owe anything."

The long-haired young man looked stubborn and refused to hand it over no matter what.

"Heh, you won't hand it over? In that case... I'll break all four of your limbs later and hang you from that big tree, so our freshmen can get a good look at the dignity of an old student like you."

Seeing the smile on Lin Suchou's face, the long-haired young man was ultimately frightened.

He clenched his hand, and a crystal-like Spirit Value Card appeared. With a pained expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just you wait. I, Mo Lun, won't let you off!"

Lin Suchou merely smiled and took the Spirit Value Card.

Looking at the amount on it, he could not help cursing, "Poor bastard. You occupied the Spirit Soul Ranking for so long and only had two hundred thousand Spirit Value."

He transferred all of it into his own Spirit Value Card, raising his original seven hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand in an instant.

"Can you let me go now?"

Mo Lun's face twisted in pain as he watched his Spirit Value Card get emptied.

"Sure. I'll give Senior a send-off."

Lin Suchou gripped the back of his neck with one hand. Amid Mo Lun's miserable screams, he kicked out once more.

The latter flew straight into the sky. Only after releasing spiritual energy to steady himself did he flee in a bedraggled state.

"Thank you for stepping in, Brother Lin."

Song Yuqing and several others close to Mu Chen walked over and thanked him gratefully.

"Mu Chen and I are friends too. It was nothing."

Lin Suchou waved his hand, then turned around and rubbed Sun'er's little head with a smile. "It's alright now, little girl. I chased the bad guy away."

"Th-Thank you, Brother Lin!"

Sun'er's little face flushed red as she excitedly thanked Lin Suchou.

"Brother Lin, thank you for blocking his attack for my sister and me."

Ye Qingling looked deeply grateful and even took out all the Spirit Value she had as a reward.

But Lin Suchou waved it away. "We live in the same district. Looking out for each other is only natural."

He then turned and left. Wen Qingxuan still had to teach him alchemy.

Only after Lin Suchou left did the freshmen at the entrance disperse and go about their business.

In mid-air above the surrounding freshman districts, Yang Hong, Bing Qing, and Mu Kui also withdrew their gazes.

"How could he be so strong?!"

Yang Hong snapped out of the battle where Lin Suchou had utterly crushed Mo Lun, his face full of shock.

Mo Lun was at the Heaven Fusion Realm, yet before Lin Suchou, he had been like a ball.

"Does losing the Spirit Road Empowerment mean I can no longer defeat him?"

Yang Hong's fists slowly clenched, his face filled with unwillingness. "No, the spiritual energy Mo Lun used just now came from the Earth Ranking's ninety-first Golden Flame Beast, while I refined the Earth Ranking's fiftieth Ancient Tiger Flood Dragon.

"I haven't fought him again yet. I still have hope!"

After talking himself into it, Yang Hong returned to the Pavilion.

Not far away, Mu Kui's face was filled with fighting spirit. Someone this powerful was exactly the opponent he had dreamed of.

Compared to the two of them, Bing Qing merely showed a trace of interest in her eyes before turning and leaving.
