Guang Biao Comes Knocking

The next morning.

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

But that afternoon, something happened that caught Xu Yue completely off guard.

At the gates of Eastsea Academy.

The entrance was completely surrounded by a group of burly men. At a rough glance, there were one or two hundred of them.

Every one of them was broad and muscular, with fierce-looking faces. They carried clubs and blades, and some even possessed restricted Soul Tools explicitly banned by the Federation.

At the very front of the crowd, several people held up large signs displaying Xu Yue's information.

When Xu Yue arrived and saw the scene before him, his expression immediately darkened.

Xu Xiaoyan, who stood beside him, also paled at the sight. It was her first time encountering something like this, and she anxiously looked toward Xu Yue.

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

Long Hengxu, the director who had already negotiated with Guang Biao, wore an equally terrifyingly grim expression. Still, he gently tried to persuade Xu Yue.

"Student Xu Yue, let the academy handle the negotiations."

Ye Yingluo was also furious. "That's right. So what if he's from the Mecha Brigade? I refuse to believe he'd really dare to come here in a mecha!"

Xu Yue suppressed the fury in his heart as he watched the burly man approaching him, then spoke in a low voice.

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

Without paying any attention to Long Hengxu and Ye Yingluo's suddenly changed expressions, he strode forward to meet them.

Xu Xiaoyan watched Xu Yue's departing figure, bit her lip, then activated her communicator and dialed several numbers.

Guang Biao watched Xu Yue walk toward him, his eyes brimming with viciousness like a tyrannosaurus.

His younger brother had nearly been beaten to death. How could he not be furious?

Even after treatment by a healing-type Soul Master, Guang Long would need to remain bedridden for at least half a year before recovering.

That was only because Guang Long was a Soul Master and far tougher than an ordinary person.

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

"Kid, you're impressive. I never thought Eastsea Academy would raise students ruthless enough to strike so viciously."

"Vicious?" Xu Yue gave Guang Biao a cold smile. "Looking at this, I only think I went too easy on him yesterday."

"I thought you people had at least a little sense, but today has truly opened my eyes. You really didn't bring any brains at all."

"I truly wonder how you manage the Mecha Brigade."

In his view, if Guang Biao had bothered to investigate his and Xu Xiaoyan's identities, Guang Long's injuries would have been treated as a lesson, and the matter would have ended there.

But what Xu Yue truly had not expected was that the other side would actually dare to bring people here and block the gates, just as he remembered.

Guang Biao's heart tightened as he sensed that something was wrong.

Normally, when faced with something like this, even if someone did not apologize, they would still show some caution toward his background if they had powerful backing themselves.

But he had no time to think any further.

The next moment.

A blinding purple light suddenly flashed before his eyes, accompanied by waves of startled cries from all around him.

"How is that possible? Millennium Soul Rings, and three of them?!"

"Doesn't that sign say First Grade? Did they get it wrong? Is he a first-year student from the Advanced Division?"

"That can't be right either! How could he withstand the pressure brought by three Millennium Soul Rings?"

It was not only the people Guang Biao had brought who cried out in shock.

Even Long Hengxu, director of the Intermediate Division, and Ye Yingluo, who had taught Xu Yue for more than three months, stared at the sight before them in utter disbelief.

Yet beneath their shock, both of them were also overjoyed.

Within the crowd behind Guang Biao, two people stared at Xu Yue with pale faces. At some point, the clubs in their hands had slipped to the ground.

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

On the other side, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Wu Zhangkong, and the others had arrived late after hearing the commotion, and they too looked at Xu Yue in astonishment.

Tang Wulin's mouth hung open in disbelief.

From his discussions with Xie Xie, Xu Yue having the Soul Power of a Soul Elder had seemed certain. But two yellow rings and one purple ring had already been the absolute limit of what they could imagine.

Three Millennium Soul Rings had completely surpassed the scope of their knowledge.

Gu Yue's dark eyes flickered with curiosity.

"Xu Yue? Quite interesting. Let me see whether you really have anything to do with Heavenly Change."

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

At least in all his life, he had never encountered anyone who could compare with Xu Yue.

Even those seeds already chosen for the inner court still lagged far behind Xu Yue as he was now.

He had thought Gu Yue was already unrivaled under heaven. Who would have thought someone even fiercer had appeared?

Whose general was this?

Wu Zhangkong swept his gaze around and immediately spotted the signs held by Guang Biao's people. His eyes instantly went blank.

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

Oh no, my Class Promotion Tournament!!!

At the scene.

The three deep-purple Soul Rings slowly pulsed, leaving Guang Biao's expression completely frozen.

He was furious over his younger brother's injuries, but he was not actually brainless. Otherwise, he could not have become the captain of the Mecha Brigade.

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

But if one looked across the entire continent, they were nothing special.

He would never believe that a genius like Xu Yue had no background or teacher supporting him.

As Guang Biao watched Xu Yue slowly approach, his stiff expression abruptly changed. He hurriedly raised a hand and asked.

"Is there some misunderstanding here?"

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

"Didn't you say everything should be settled through strength?"

Seeing the shift in Guang Biao's expression, he continued.

"I think you were right about that. People like you are like nails sticking out from the roadside."

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

After saying that, Xu Yue could not be bothered to waste more words on Guang Biao.

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

Bright yellow Soul Power exploded outward. The Jade Shield protected his body, while Vortex Vanquisher appeared in his hand.

In that instant, Xu Yue's aura connected with the earth as though they were one.

It was the Soul Skill linkage effect, Thousand Rocks Tyrant Body.

Thousand Rocks Firm, Heavy Barrier Unmoved!

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

"Discuss? Discuss my ass!"

As Xu Yue spoke, he stomped heavily on the ground. Several cracks instantly spread across the earth as his body shot toward Guang Biao like a cannonball.

"You've been here so long, you haven't eaten yet, have you? In that case, have a taste of my spear first!"

The next moment.

Vortex Vanquisher, raised high in Xu Yue's hand, was instantly coated in a layer of blackish-red light.

At the same time, a tyrannical will fused into the spear.

Gravity Domain, Eightfold Amplification!

Spear Intent of Rock! Mind-Ape Menogias!!
