Two Targets

Bai Zhangting and the others were by no means insane—they could see Bai Yang's expression and demeanor clearly.

No matter how bold they were, they no longer dared to utter any arrogant words.

All three of them were Spirit Readers. Though their talent wasn't high, their bodies had been strengthened by spiritual power to the level of a Junior War General.

Within the Bai Family, they were considered favored children of heaven, which was why Bai Pianqing had forcibly betrothed them to Bai Sheng.

Even if they had to obey, resentment festered in their hearts, and they constantly nitpicked and complained about their future husband.

For the sake of the family and Bai Yang's medical expenses, Bai Sheng silently endured it all, which only made them more brazen.

Bai Yang's looks were exceptionally handsome—one in a thousand. At first, they were overjoyed, thinking they'd hit the jackpot.

They never expected him to have this kind of personality, and his strength was downright eerie.

He was said to have only passed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment yesterday, yet when faced with him at close range, the three sisters couldn't even put up a fight!

Without realizing it, the moment he spoke, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Bai Yang now roughly understood the whole story, and suddenly recalled a line Lu Ting had said to him:

"The Bai Family is one of the twelve Huaxia families of the HR Alliance. They have little ability but plenty of trouble. As a branch member, you've enjoyed none of the benefits but inherited all the headaches."

It dawned on him that Lu Ting had probably known about the Bai Family's dirty secrets all along but hadn't felt comfortable discussing them.

Back then, he'd used family matters as an excuse to avoid going directly to Kyoto.

Both sides had likely misunderstood each other's intentions, but it had worked out by accident.

Bai Sheng was a Senior War General, but when he would break through to War God was still unknown.

Facing the entire Bai Family, which controlled a large number of War General-level and countless Soldier-level martial artists, he naturally felt powerless.

Bai Yang sneered inwardly. But what did that amount to?

Hadn't Sheng Ge just taken some gifts and resources from the Bai Family before? He could just return them!

If they thought that wasn't enough, he'd pay them back tenfold. That should settle it, right?

Having to face those three women every day would be so disgusting it would ruin the rest of his life.

He was just an honest man, too embarrassed to refuse or speak up, so he could only endure in silence.

If today hadn't involved him and touched his reverse scale, he might have muddled through his entire life like that!

The more Bai Yang thought about it, the angrier he got. He silently vowed that once he went to Kyoto Base City, he would definitely go see that aunt of his—Old Lady Bai Pianqing!

The meeting room door opened, and the five of them walked out.

Principal Wei looked at everyone's expressions and smiled. "Looks like it's resolved?"

Bai Yang nodded. "Thank you for your help, Principal. Let my cousin and the others go back. No need to make a big fuss."

Principal Wei didn't ask further and simply waved for everyone to leave.

Bai Yang walked Bai Sheng all the way to the school gate and said, "Sheng Ge, listen to me. Don't go back to Kyoto. Just go home and take care of Uncle. I'll handle everything from now on."

Bai Sheng nodded, looking at Bai Yang, who was far taller than him, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Although Bai Yang was only a Senior Soldier now, far inferior to him as a Senior War General, somehow, he felt that with him around, there was nothing to worry about.

He could handle everything on his own, without needing his brother's help. As long as he didn't cause trouble, that was enough.

Bai Sheng left the school, no longer traveling with those three women, and headed to his father's home at the Limit Dojo in the main city.

After all the commotion, it was already afternoon, and Bai Yang suddenly felt hungry.

Only then did he remember that he'd gone to test his strength early in the morning.

He hadn't even eaten breakfast, so of course he was starving by now.

But the gap between his hunger and his body's actual energy needs was growing wider, so he always forgot to eat.

This was probably the only downside to his monsterization.

He walked toward the cafeteria. There were few students on the way, but every single one of them looked at him with shock.

Bai Yang was used to it by now and guessed that some troublemaker had been promoting him on the forum again.

In less than half a month, he'd become a celebrity on the internal network forum.

Every day, people speculated about who he really was and how he could cause such a stir.

With so few students staying on campus, there weren't many topics to discuss, so his popularity naturally soared.

Today, because of him, Principal Wei and almost half the teachers had been mobilized.

With such a murderous lineup, it might have been enough to surround and kill even a Senior War God.

What kind of concept was that!?

Most people would go their whole lives without ever seeing a War God in action.

Let alone such a powerful lineup!

Bai Yang's identity was guessed at everything from some rich second-generation to a big shot's illegitimate son, or even some strong warrior's brother-in-law.

Truly a dazzling array of everything one could imagine.

If not for the fact that military cadets generally maintained a fair degree of self-discipline, someone would probably have already started writing all sorts of character profiles about him.

He had long grown tired of it and simply couldn't be bothered to look at all kinds of inexplicable gossip.

His "speechless" reaction only fueled everyone's creative enthusiasm further.

Back when Lu Ting's flying saucer had swept across the entire Jiangnan Base City sky, it wasn't just their school that had seen it.

In the original story, Wei Wen's Jiangnan Second Military Academy and Xu Xin's Jiangnan University were both located in this same university district.

They hadn't enrolled yet, but quite a few of their senior students already knew about him as a notable figure.

Bai Yang couldn't be bothered to think about all that. Right now, he only wanted to get stronger as quickly as possible and pass the practical assessment.

Then he would plunge alone into the Wilderness Zone and achieve the first-stage transformation of his monster form.

Monster King Orochi's first-stage monster body reached a height of six meters.

This naturally required a massive supplement of flesh and blood tissue, with his entire body undergoing drastic mutation.

To maintain his normal appearance in daily life, he would definitely need repeated testing and experimentation.

Only in the Wilderness Zone, where no one was around, could this possibly be carried out.

Ordinary human food simply couldn't achieve his goal; only the blood and flesh genes of monsters could satisfy his needs.

After arriving at the cafeteria, Bai Yang began eating as usual, but after just a dozen or so bites, he stopped once he felt slightly full in his stomach.

"Wow! Junior Bai is eating so little today, his movements are so gentle and gentlemanly, so handsome!"

"Gross! Yesterday you said his eating was so bold, that a real man should be that wild!"

"Is he only eating this little today? Is he feeling unwell?"

"Did you hear? An outsider invaded just now, but the principal and the others dealt with it. Word is their goal was to kidnap Junior Bai!"

"Ah! Those fiancées of his finally couldn't hold back and came to snatch him away! What do we do?"

"What else? Speed it up! Ah! I really want to go back to school! Watching other people's livestreams is just not satisfying enough!"

"Tch! You dare to confess your feelings? No way!"

"Nonsense! Do you dare? You're the same! Why are you picking on me!"
