Guang Biao Comes Knocking

The next morning.

Everything was calm and peaceful, just like any other day of campus life.

But by the afternoon, an incident occurred that caught Xu Yue completely off guard.

At the entrance of Eastsea Academy.

At this moment, the school gate was completely packed and surrounded by a group of burly men; at a rough glance, there were one or two hundred of them.

Every one of them was brawny and fierce-looking, holding knives and clubs, and some even possessed restricted Soul Tools that were explicitly banned by the Federation.

Right in front of this crowd, several people were holding up large signs, and the information displayed on them was precisely about Xu Yue.

Arriving at the scene and seeing this spectacle, Xu Yue's expression turned gloomy in an instant.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was following by his side, saw this and her face changed instantly. It was her first time experiencing such a scene, and she looked at Xu Yue in a panic.

"Brother A-Yue, what should we do now?"

Long Hengxu, the director who had already negotiated with Guang Biao, also had a terrifyingly grim expression, though he still softly consoled Xu Yue.

"Student Xu Yue, let the academy handle this negotiation."

Ye Yingluo also wore an angry expression. "That's right, so what if they are a Mecha Brigade? I don't believe he would actually dare to drive a mecha over here!"

At this moment, Xu Yue suppressed the rage in his heart. Looking at the burly men gradually approaching, he said in a deep voice.

"No need, I'll handle it myself."

Having said that, he ignored the suddenly pale-faced Long Hengxu and Ye Yingluo and strode forward to meet them.

Xu Xiaoyan looked at Xu Yue's back, bit her lip, and then activated her Communicator to dial a few numbers.

Guang Biao looked at Xu Yue walking toward him, his eyes filled with ferocity, like a tyrannosaurus.

His younger brother had nearly been beaten to death; how could he not be furious?

One had to know that even with treatment from a healing-type Soul Master, it would take at least half a year of bed rest to recover.

And that was only because Guang Long was a Soul Master, far stronger than an ordinary person.

Even so, there would still be certain aftereffects after he recovered.

"Kid, you're good. I didn't expect a student taught by Eastsea Academy to be so ruthless."

"Ruthless?" Xu Yue looked at Guang Biao and gave a cold smile. "Looking at this, I only feel that I went too easy on him yesterday."

"I originally thought you had at least some brains, but today you've really opened my eyes. You truly don't have any brains at all."

"I really don't know how you manage the Mecha Brigade."

In his heart, if Guang Biao had simply checked his and Xu Xiaoyan's backgrounds, Guang Long's injuries would have just been a lesson learned, and the matter would have ended there.

But what he truly didn't expect was that the other party would actually dare to bring people to block the gate, just as he remembered from his memories.

Guang Biao felt a chill in his heart, sensing that something was wrong.

A normal person encountering this kind of situation, even if they didn't offer an apology, would at least be wary of the background of the person they were dealing with if they had influence behind them.

But it was all too late for him to think further.

The next moment.

A blinding purple light suddenly erupted before his eyes, and at the same time, exclamations rang out from all around.

"How is this possible? A thousand-year Soul Ring, and three of them at that?!"

"Look at the sign they're holding—isn't that for the First Grade? Did they mark it wrong? Is it the First Grade of the Advanced Division?"

"Even the Advanced Division isn't right. How could he withstand the pressure brought by three thousand-year Soul Rings?"

It wasn't just the people Guang Biao brought who were exclaiming.

Even the Intermediate Division director Long Hengxu and Ye Yingluo, who had been teaching Xu Yue for over three months, were looking at this scene in utter disbelief.

But beyond their shock, both of them were also filled with wild joy.

In the crowd behind Guang Biao, two people were currently looking at Xu Yue with pale faces, their clubs having slipped to the ground at some point.

They were the two lackeys who had accompanied Guang Long yesterday.

On the other side, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Wu Zhangkong, who had arrived late after hearing the commotion, were also looking at Xu Yue in astonishment.

Tang Wulin's mouth hung open in disbelief.

In his and Xie Xie's discussions, it was likely true that Xu Yue's soul power had reached the level of a Soul Elder, but two yellow and one purple Soul Ring was already the limit of what they could imagine.

Three thousand-year rings were already beyond the scope of their knowledge.

Beside him, Gu Yue's black eyes flickered with curiosity.

"Xu Yue? This is quite interesting. Let me see if you really have any connection to the Heavenly Change."

As for Wu Zhangkong, the shock in his heart was no less than anyone else present. Even coming from Shrek, he had never seen a genius like Xu Yue.

At the very least, in his life experience, he had never seen anyone who could compare to Xu Yue.

Even those who were earmarked as seeds for the inner court were still far behind the current Xu Yue.

He had thought Gu Yue was already invincible, but he never expected someone to be even more valiant than her.

Whose subordinate could this possibly be?

Wu Zhangkong swept his gaze across the scene and immediately saw the signs held by the people brought by Guang Biao, his eyes instantly glazing over in shock.

First Grade Class One of the Intermediate Division? Ye Yingluo!!

Oh no, my Class Promotion Tournament!!!

On the field.

Three deep purple Soul Rings pulsed slowly, causing the expression on Guang Biao's face to freeze completely.

He was furious about his younger brother's injuries, but he wasn't truly brainless; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the captain of the Mecha Brigade.

His background and strength were indeed among the top tier in Eastsea City.

But if one looked at the entire continent, he wasn't much to speak of.

For Xu Yue to be such a genius, he refused to believe that there was no background or teacher supporting him from behind the scenes.

Guang Biao looked at Xu Yue, who was walking slowly toward him, his stiff expression changing instantly as he hurriedly raised a hand to ask.

"Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding?" Xu Yue's face was cold and hard as he stared at Guang Biao. "We've reached this point, and you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?"

"Didn't you say that everything is decided by strength?"

He watched the changing complexion on Guang Biao's face and continued.

"I think what you said is quite right. People like you are just like nails sticking out on the side of the road."

"Only by being violently hammered into the dirt will you stop poking out and tripping others."

After saying this, Xu Yue couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on Guang Biao.

His first and second Soul Rings lit up with a purple glow instantly.

A bright yellow radiance of soul power exploded outward; the Jade Shield protected his entire body, and the Vortex Vanquisher appeared in his hand.

In just a split second, Xu Yue's aura connected with the earth, as if they were one.

This was the linked effect of his Soul Skills: Thousand Rocks Tyrant Body.

Thousand Rocks Firm, Heavy Barrier Unmoved!

"Wait! I think this matter can still be discussed!"

"Discuss? Discuss my ass!"

As Xu Yue spoke, he stomped heavily, causing several cracks to instantly spread across the ground as his figure shot toward Guang Biao like a cannonball.

"You haven't eaten since you got here, have you? In that case, eat my spear first!"

The next moment.

The Vortex Vanquisher held high in Xu Yue's hand was instantly covered in a layer of black-red light.

At the same time, an overbearing will merged into the shaft of the spear.

"Gravity Domain, Eightfold Amplification!"

"Spear Intent of Rock! Mind-Ape Menogias!!"
