" Xue Xing! I've put up with you for too long! Think it over before you speak!" Bai Baoshan slammed his fist on the table, his roar echoing throughout the entire Education Commission office.
This had nothing to do with him, but Meng Shenji and Zhi Lin were under pressure from Xue Xing, so they called him over as well. Things had escalated to this point, and the three education committee members had to stand together.
"I've thought it through! Now it's the three of you who need to think it through!" Prince Xue Xing retorted defiantly, his neck stiff with arrogance. "The academy belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire. Why can't the royal family interfere?"
Meng Shenji's face was stern, his eyes as cold as ice. "You are openly interfering in the academy's internal affairs, violating the rules set by His Majesty."
"I have the right to interfere! So what?" Xue Xing retorted directly, chin held high. "I am a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. You three old geezers dare to challenge me?"
Zhi Lin's face also darkened, his tone carrying a warning. "If you push us too far, we'll tell His Majesty the whole story and let him be the judge!"
"Go ahead and tell them!" Xue Xing was completely unafraid, instead sneering, "We'll see then whether you three are the unlucky ones who get removed from your positions on the Education Commission, or I, the prince, am the unlucky one? His Majesty suspects you of colluding with Ning Fengzhi!"
The two sides were locked in a fierce verbal battle, arguing heatedly and spitting as they spoke. The atmosphere in the office was tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment.
Xue Beng stood to one side, rooted to the spot like a log, his head buzzing, completely bewildered. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: Where's Lin Kong? You've been arguing for so long, why aren't you talking about Lin Kong anymore?
yes!
At this moment, who cares about Lin Kong?
Meng Shenji and his two companions, along with Xue Xing, were merely using Lin Kong's matter as a pretext to argue about the leadership of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and whose orders the academy should obey!
Lin Kong?
A twelve-year-old boy with only level twenty-five Soul Power, and a Soul Bone on his person—what does that amount to?
Oh, he's just an easy target to provoke people into killing him and stealing his Soul Bone!
What are his battle records in the Great Soul Arena, what are his Silver Soul Badge? They're nothing compared to his age and level! Not to mention his Martial Soul is a mutated Dark Blue Silver Grass, and his Second Soul Ring is a white Ten-Year Soul Ring.
Such talents are plentiful at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Lin Kong was merely a tool, a tool for the three education committee members and Xue Xing to vie for power.
Do you really think Xue Xing is an idiot? Coming all this way to argue with three education committee members over something as trivial as Xue Beng?
Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
"Commissioner Zhi Lin!" Qin Ming rushed in, but upon seeing the entourage in the office, he stopped abruptly and quickly bowed respectfully to greet them, "Commissioner Meng Shenji, Commissioner Bai Baoshan, Prince Xue Xing, Prince Xue Beng!"
Zhi Lin glanced at Xue Xing with disdain before turning his gaze to Qin Ming, his tone softening slightly. "Teacher Qin Ming, what's the matter? If it's still about Lin Kong, don't rush, we're discussing it."
Qin Ming took a deep breath, straightened his back, and said solemnly, " Lin Kong is alone..."
" Lin Kong alone has caused us so much trouble!" Zhi Lin frowned, his tone clearly displeased, and couldn't help but interrupt him, "We're discussing how to handle this..."
" Lin Kong defeated all seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team by himself!"
Qin Ming could no longer hold back. He raised his voice and forcefully interrupted Zhi Lin. To keep Lin Kong, he was willing to go against the Education Committee, even if it meant risking everything!
" Qin Ming! Don't continue..." Zhi Lin instinctively shouted, but he stopped himself halfway through his sentence. He tilted his head sharply, looking at Qin Ming with dazed eyes, as if he hadn't heard him clearly, "Ah!!!"
Bai Baoshan also looked over immediately, his face full of disbelief. "Huh? What did you say?"
Meng Shenji's previously tense face showed surprise. "Um... say it again?"
Prince Xue Xing shook his head, feeling dizzy, and quickly reached out to steady himself on the table. "Wait, wait... what did you just say? Imperial Fighting Team?"
"Holy shit!" Xue Beng was the most out of control, cursing loudly, his eyes wide like saucers, his face filled with horror.
Zhi Lin sprang up from his chair, glaring at Qin Ming, his voice trembling. "Say it again! I didn't hear you!"
" Lin Kong defeated seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team all by himself!" Qin Ming repeated, enunciating each word clearly, his voice booming so loud that everyone present could hear him clearly and was deeply shocked.
Bai Baoshan also sprang up from his chair with a "whoosh," his voice booming like thunder. " Qin Ming! You have to take responsibility for your words! You can't just say things like that!"
"I'll take responsibility! I definitely will!" Qin Ming's expression grew increasingly resolute. He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Let me explain the entire process of this battle to you!"
In an instant, the office fell silent.
The crowd, who had been arguing heatedly just moments before, all fell silent and stared obediently at Qin Ming, their eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and an eager curiosity.
Everyone wants to know how a twelve-year-old boy managed to defeat the Imperial Fighting Team by taking on seven opponents single-handedly!
Disadvantages in age, level, Martial Soul, and numbers! From any angle, it's a disadvantage.
Even a single Soul Bone couldn't withstand it!
Why?!
Qin Ming began to recount his story...
When he got to the details, Qin Ming became animated, even gesturing in the air as he spoke.
When they talked about how " Osler and Yu Feng rushed over but were tricked by the External Soul Bone ", they sighed repeatedly.
When it was mentioned that " Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are not considered combat power," everyone present suddenly realized the truth.
When they heard that " Lin Kong bypassed Yu Tianheng and the Shi Brothers, and took Dugu Yan hostage to force them to admit defeat," they were amazed by Lin Kong's wisdom.
Finally, it's all over!
Qin Ming concluded, "That was terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!"
"I never think about fighting seven people at once, and neither do you. You were all incredibly shocked when you heard about fighting seven people at once, but what about Lin Kong? He thought about it, and then what? Perhaps he went through countless scenarios in his mind and found the only possibility of winning! In the end, he did it, he truly did it, fighting seven people at once!"
" Lin Kong's wisdom is the most valuable thing!"
Qin Ming's eyes were filled with fervor. "What I mean is, Lin Kong must be admitted to the academy. He absolutely cannot be allowed to join any other academy. Otherwise, if we encounter him in the competition, we will undoubtedly lose!"
"Teacher Qin Ming!" Xue Beng had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, raising a hand, "You just said that Soul Bone was external, external what?"
" External Soul Bone!"
hiss--
Everyone gasped!
Meng Shenji took a deep breath to compose himself. "Alright, now let's discuss whether Lin Kong can join the academy."
That's right!
They continued their discussion about Lin Kong, having been interrupted by Xue Xing earlier, but they resumed it now.
Meng Shenji wielded more power than Zhi Lin and Bai Baoshan, which is evident in this: he decided what to discuss.
Zhi Lin: "I agree!"
Bai Baoshan: "I agree!"
Meng Shenji chuckled, "I agree."
The three of them looked at Xue Xing in unison, then exchanged glances, and immediately realized the same thing.
Previously, the two sides had argued about who should take the lead but couldn't reach a conclusion. Now, they can use this incident to severely suppress Xue Xing and prevent him from bothering them in the future.
Xue Xing's face turned pale. "..."
