Awake, He Held Power Over the World

"That..."

"Can we still reconcile?"

Guang Biao's trembling voice rang clearly through the scene.

His earlier arrogance had turned into servility, making him look exceptionally ridiculous.

Yet not many people mocked him.

Because if it had been them, they probably would not have behaved any better than Guang Biao.

Leng Hanyuan lifted his eyelids slightly, a sharp chill flashing through his eyes.

"What do you think?"

His pure white eyes swept over the hundred-plus people blocking Eastsea Academy's gates, filled with undisguised mockery.

"The captain of the East Sea City Mecha Brigade. What imposing authority."

"Broad daylight, and you lead a team to blockade a Soul Master Academy, shielding your brother's wrongdoing and bullying civilians."

"Is this how the Federation authorities let you serve as captain of the Mecha Brigade?"

There was not much accusation in Leng Hanyuan's voice.

It even sounded like a calm question.

However, Guang Biao's face grew increasingly pale.

Because he could clearly hear the killing intent hidden beneath Leng Hanyuan's calm tone.

This no longer had much to do with Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

What Leng Hanyuan hated most were people like Guang Biao.

Born a commoner and having built himself up from nothing, yet in the end, he still harmed commoners.

And people like him had even once been idolized by a bunch of ignorant fools.

Leng Hanyuan despised such people the most.

As the saying went, at seventy, one could follow one's heart's desires.

In a sense, he was already over ten thousand years old.

So there was nothing wrong with being a little willful, was there?

Thus, Leng Hanyuan made no effort to conceal his disgust.

Faced with Leng Hanyuan's string of questions, Guang Biao was left speechless.

What he had done had naturally violated Federation law.

However, because he was the captain of the Mecha Brigade, no one usually dared to interfere with him.

Even Eastsea City's top official had to stay on good terms with him and would not easily offend him over such matters.

That was why Guang Biao had acted so fearlessly.

He had brazenly brought his men here to stir up trouble.

But he had never expected to provoke a great figure like Leng Hanyuan, someone far more esteemed than Eastsea City's top official.

"A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

Guang Biao forced a smile as his thoughts raced wildly.

He seemed to be trying to come up with a reasonable excuse.

At the same time.

Dense black dots appeared in the distant azure sky.

As they gradually drew closer, everyone saw what those black dots truly were.

They were mechas!

Each mecha bore the distinctive emblem of the Spirit Pagoda.

Clearly, they had been dispatched by the Spirit Pagoda.

Five Black-rank mechas flew at the front.

Four of them landed before Guang Biao.

They raised the high-energy cannons in their hands, their pitch-black barrels aimed directly at Guang Biao.

The remaining Black-rank mecha at the very front landed before Leng Hanyuan.

A middle-aged man stepped out of the mecha.

He dropped to one knee:

"Han Feng of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda Mecha Guard pays respects to the Grand Elder."

The Spirit Transmission Pagoda Mecha Guard!

It was a mecha organization under the Spirit Pagoda.

As the wealthiest organization on the continent, the Spirit Pagoda commanded a considerable number of mecha guards.

Its scale was not even far behind the Federation's core mecha legions.

The other mechas landed one after another, completely surrounding the hundred-plus people Guang Biao had brought.

All manner of soul-guided weapons were aimed at them.

At a single command, they would fire without hesitation and blast the people before them into pieces.

A cold, emotionless voice came from within the mechas:

"The Spirit Transmission Pagoda Mecha Guard has arrived to suppress the disturbance. Immediately squat down with your hands over your heads."

"Otherwise, the guard has the right to employ force."

"I repeat, immediately squat down with your hands over your heads."

The hundred-plus people who had followed Guang Biao turned deathly pale at the sight of such a formation.

They squatted down with their hands over their heads.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie watched everything from below. Looking at the tall, slender figure standing proudly above everyone else, their eyes were filled with admiration and yearning.

"That was so cool!"

"It would be amazing if I could become like Teacher Leng one day!"

Xie Xie looked like an awestruck little fanboy.

Although he was only nine years old.

Leng Hanyuan's display of power had already touched upon something that naturally thrilled every boy.

Compared to the usual Teacher Leng, who casually gave them a few pointers, Leng Hanyuan as the Spirit Pagoda's Grand Elder was undoubtedly far more impactful at this moment.

Even just imagining himself as Leng Hanyuan made Xie Xie's little face flush red with excitement.

Tang Wulin said nothing.

However, the envy in his eyes clearly showed that he shared Xie Xie's thoughts.

Awake, he held power over the world!

How inspiring!

"Grand Elder, how should they be dealt with?"

Han Feng glanced at Guang Biao and the others before asking.

Guang Biao and his men, who had just been aggressively blockading the academy gates and acting as though no one could touch them, had now become fish on the chopping block, left to be slaughtered at will.

Leng Hanyuan glanced at Guang Biao and the others, then withdrew his gaze.

"Send them to the Federal Ministry of Justice and let them handle it according to the law."

"Understood. We will ensure absolute fairness and justice and satisfy the Grand Elder."

Han Feng replied repeatedly.

The Spirit Pagoda also held considerable influence within the Federation.

Among the Federation Council, the number of councilors directly or indirectly controlled by the Spirit Pagoda was the highest of any faction.

Punishing Guang Biao and the others according to the law would be exceedingly easy.

After all, the Spirit Pagoda had justice on its side in this matter.

It was an indisputable fact that Guang Biao had abused his authority and led people to blockade Eastsea Academy.

Having received his orders, Han Feng rose to his feet.

He looked at Guang Biao and the others, then waved his hand.

"East Sea City Mecha Brigade Captain Guang Biao abused his authority, blockaded a Soul Master Academy, and showed contempt for Federation law. This can be considered a military mutiny."

"The rest colluded with him, failed to distinguish right from wrong, and shall all be treated as accomplices."

"Take them all away and hand them over to the Federal Ministry of Justice for processing according to Federation procedure."

"Yes!"

The Spirit Transmission Pagoda Guard members answered in unison.

They took out specially made Soul Power-sealing handcuffs and cuffed the men one by one.

Guang Biao's face was ashen. Like a puppet on strings, he allowed Han Feng to cuff his hands with the Soul Power-sealing restraints.

His eyes were filled with despair.

A military mutiny in all but name.

Han Feng's words had practically decided his fate.

This was a capital crime!

Coupled with the Spirit Pagoda's influence within the Federation, they could absolutely make that charge stick.

At that moment, Guang Biao had already foreseen his future.

The mechas took off one after another with their prisoners.

Guang Biao was carried away like a lump of mud, grabbed by one Black-rank mecha as though he were a little chick.

"My lord, we shall take our leave first."

Han Feng cupped his hands toward Leng Hanyuan in salute.

"Mm. Sorry to trouble you all."

He nodded slightly.

"You are too courteous, my lord. It is our duty."

After bidding him farewell respectfully, Han Feng returned to his Black-rank mecha and departed with the main force.

The gates of Eastsea Academy returned to their usual state.

The clamor was gone, and the chaos had vanished.

Long Hengxu revealed a relieved smile.

He patted his chest.

Fortunately, their academy had this great man.

Otherwise, he truly would not have known how to resolve this situation.
