Two Goals

Bai Zhangting and the others weren't crazy. Just one look at Bai Yang's expression was enough to tell them that.

No matter how bold they were, they didn't dare say anything outrageous now.

All three were Spirit Readers. Although they weren't especially talented, their Spiritual Force had strengthened their bodies to Junior War General level.

They were all considered prodigies within the Bai Family, which was why Bai Pianqing had forced them into betrothals with Bai Sheng.

Even though they had no choice but to comply, they still felt resentment. They were always finding fault with and complaining about their future husband.

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

Bai Yang was so handsome that he was one in a thousand. At first, they had all been delighted, thinking they'd hit the jackpot.

They hadn't expected him to be this kind of person, or his strength to be so bizarrely powerful.

He'd supposedly passed the Quasi-Warrior Assessment just yesterday, yet the three sisters couldn't fight back at all when they faced him at close range!

Before they even realized it, the moment he spoke, the three of them were too afraid to breathe.

Bai Yang now roughly understood what had happened. Suddenly, he remembered something Lu Ting had once told him:

"The Bai Family is one of the twelve Huaxia families in the HR Alliance. They're not much good at anything, but they sure do make trouble. As a branch member of the Bai Family, you've gotten none of the benefits, but you've got plenty of trouble."

It dawned on him that Lu Ting had probably known about some of the Bai Family's dirty dealings for a long time. He just hadn't been able to talk about them.

Back then, he'd made the excuse that there was something going on at home and refused to go straight to Kyoto.

It seemed both sides had misunderstood each other. At least the mistake had worked out in his favor.

Bai Sheng was an Advanced War General. It was anyone's guess when he'd break through to War God.

Faced with the whole Bai Family, which controlled a large number of War General Level martial artists and countless Warrior Level ones, of course he'd feel powerless.

Bai Yang sneered inwardly. But what did any of that matter?

Brother Sheng had only taken a few gifts and resources from the Bai Family before, right? He could just return them.

You think that's not enough? Then I'll pay you back tenfold. How's that?

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

He was just an honest man, too embarrassed to refuse or speak up, so all he could do was quietly endure it.

If this hadn't involved Bai Yang today, and crossed his one inviolable boundary, who knew? He might have drifted through the rest of his life in a daze!

The more Bai Yang thought about it, the angrier he got. He silently vowed that once he went to Kyoto Base City, he'd pay a visit to that old lady, his grandaunt Bai Pianqing!

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

Principal Wei looked at their faces and smiled. "Looks like you've resolved things?"

Bai Yang nodded. "Thanks for your help, Principal. You can tell my cousin and the others to go home. There's no need to make such a big fuss."

Principal Wei didn't ask any questions. He simply waved everyone away.

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

Bai Sheng nodded. Looking at Bai Yang, who was much taller than him, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Although Bai Yang only seemed to be an Advanced Warrior now, he was far weaker than Bai Sheng, an Advanced War General.

But for some reason, Bai Sheng felt that with him around, there was nothing to worry about.

Bai Yang could handle everything by himself. He didn't need his older brother's help at all. The best thing Bai Sheng could do was stay out of his way.

Bai Sheng left the school. He didn't go with those three women again, instead heading to his father's home at the Limit Dojo in the main urban district.

The commotion had gone on for so long that it was already afternoon. Bai Yang suddenly realized he was hungry.

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

He hadn't even eaten breakfast. How could he not be hungry by now?

But the gap between his hunger and his body's actual need for energy kept growing, so he often forgot to eat.

That was probably the only downside of his monster transformation.

He headed for the cafeteria. There weren't many students on the way, but every one who saw him looked shocked.

Bai Yang was used to it by now. He guessed some troublemaker who loved stirring things up had been promoting him on the forums again.

In less than half a month, he'd become a hot topic on the school's internal forums.

Every day, people speculated about who he was and why he kept causing such a huge commotion.

There weren't many students staying on campus, so there weren't many things to talk about. Naturally, his popularity kept climbing.

And today, because of him, Principal Wei and nearly half the teaching staff had come out.

That murderous-looking lineup would probably have been enough to surround and kill an Advanced War God.

What did that even mean!?

Most people might never see a War God fight in person in their entire lives.

And that was nothing compared to a lineup this powerful!

People had guessed Bai Yang was everything from some rich young master to a big shot's illegitimate son, or even a powerful warrior's brother-in-law.

The rumors covered every possibility imaginable.

If military academy students weren't generally so disciplined, people might already have started writing fanfiction about all kinds of personas for him.

He'd long since had enough of it and couldn't be bothered to read all the ridiculous gossip.

His "speechless" response only fueled everyone's creativity even more.

When Lu Ting's flying saucer had swept across the skies over the entire Jiangnan Base City, it hadn't been seen only by students at their school.

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

They hadn't enrolled yet, but plenty of their upperclassmen already knew about Bai Yang.

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

Then he'd head into the Wilderness Zone alone and complete the first stage of his monster transformation.

In the first stage of his transformation into Monster King Orochi, his body would reach six meters in height.

Of course, that would require a huge amount of flesh, and his body would inevitably undergo a drastic mutation.

If he wanted to maintain his usual appearance, he'd definitely have to test it over and over.

He could only do that in the Wilderness Zone, where no one else was around.

Ordinary human food couldn't possibly achieve what he wanted. Only the flesh and genes of monsters could satisfy his needs.

After reaching the cafeteria, Bai Yang started eating as usual. But after only a dozen or so bites, he felt slightly full and stopped.

"Wow! Bai, you're eating so little today. So refined and gentlemanly. So handsome!"

"Gross! Yesterday you said he ate so wildly, like a real man should!"

"He's only eating this much today. Do you think he's feeling unwell?"

"Did you hear? Some outsiders broke in just now, but Principal Wei and the others dealt with them. Apparently, they were trying to kidnap Bai!"

"Ah! His fiancées finally couldn't take it anymore and came to steal him away! What do we do?"

"Obviously, we speed things up! Ah, I really wish I were back at school! Watching someone else's livestream just isn't satisfying!"

"Yeah, but when I told you to confess to him, you didn't dare!"

"Of course not! Would you dare? You're no different! What gives you the right to say that to me!"
