"Whoosh!"
At the same time, Beiming Yuan flicked his wrist, sending the folded Ice and Snow Fan straight at Yu Feng in midair and knocking him down with a single strike.
The recoil sent the Ice and Snow Fan back into Beiming Yuan's hand.
With four opponents defeated, Beiming Yuan still stood where he had been, one hand behind his back and the other holding the Ice and Snow Fan, once again the picture of a graceful young master.
Dead silence fell over the entire crowd.
Though the onlookers appeared silent, their hearts were full of shock.
So strong!
That was the first thought in everyone's mind.
Beiming Yuan walked toward Dugu Yan and the other three, chuckled, and said calmly, "It seems the Imperial Fighting Team isn't as formidable as I imagined."
"You!"
Dugu Yan bristled with anger, and her three teammates beside her were furious as well.
But Beiming Yuan casually raised his hand and swept the Ice and Snow Fan over the four of them from a distance, fanning away the Ultimate Ice inside their bodies.
As for Yu Tianheng and the two Shi Mo, their physiques were stronger, so they had no need of such treatment.
Dugu Yan's gaze was complicated. She felt her body suddenly grow lighter, and the chill that had seeped into her bones vanished.
"Heal yourself and your teammates. Nine Heart Begonia is a fine Martial Soul." Beiming Yuan glanced at Ye Lingling beside them.
Ye Lingling froze for a moment and pressed her lips together, but she still activated her Martial Soul to heal herself and her teammates.
"Everyone, please carry on." Beiming Yuan swept his gaze over the crowd and nodded to them, then put away his Martial Soul and prepared to leave.
"..." Everyone's lips twitched, and they were left speechless.
He wants to leave after showing off? It can't be that easy!
This is Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Prince Xue Xing's turf. After making him lose face like that, he still wants to leave safely?
If he really gets to leave, Prince Xue Xing will only lose even more face!
"Brat, did I say you could leave?" Prince Xue Xing rose to his feet and looked coldly at Beiming Yuan, making no attempt to conceal the killing intent in his eyes.
"My legs are my own. What can you do about it?"
Beiming Yuan ignored Prince Xue Xing altogether, turned, and walked away.
"You trespassed into Heaven Dou Royal Academy, disrupted the friendship between the two academies, showed contempt for everyone, and insulted an imperial prince. Your crimes are unforgivable. Seize him and hold him for punishment!"
Prince Xue Xing glanced at Meng Shenji and the two men beside him and gave the order outright, having already laid the charges against Beiming Yuan.
One thing was one thing.
The Imperial Fighting Team had been outmatched and lost, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy accepted that.
But Beiming Yuan had to pay for trespassing, insulting others, and his other actions.
Meng Shenji and the other two hesitated for a moment, but still stepped in front of Beiming Yuan.
Brat, this is Heaven Dou. I'll have no trouble killing you! Prince Xue Xing sneered inwardly, having already decided how he would torture Beiming Yuan.
The crowd watched the scene without much reaction.
"Dad, Grandpa Jian." Ning Rongrong instinctively looked at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo and asked softly, "Can you help him?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said nothing.
Sword Douluo patted Ning Rongrong on the head and transmitted his voice to her. "Rongrong, since this boy dared to barge in here and fears neither heaven nor earth, just like you, he must have someone backing him. Just watch."
"Oh!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, but then she suddenly caught on and gave Sword Douluo a searching look. "Grandpa Jian, are you saying Rongrong is bad? Grandpa Bone would never say that."
"No, no, how could I? Grandpa Jian loves Rongrong the most!" As soon as Sword Douluo heard Ning Rongrong say Bone Douluo was better than him, he couldn't help feeling a surge of competitiveness.
"Hehe, Grandpa Jian is the best!" Ning Rongrong giggled, a sly glint flashing in her eyes.
Sword Douluo smiled kindly.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly but said nothing. Instead, he wondered what Beiming Yuan had to rely on. A Titled Douluo?
Ning Fengzhi was not the only one with that thought. Qian Renxue had it too.
"Ci Xue, She Long, if things become critical, the two of you take him away." Qian Renxue's eyes flickered as she transmitted her voice to the two men hidden in the shadows.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Ci Xue and She Long replied by voice transmission from the shadows.
The people from Blazing Fire Academy watched Beiming Yuan, curious how he would handle the situation. Did he have something to rely on, or did he have an expert protecting him?
After all, Beiming Yuan didn't look like a fool.
"I'll only say this once. Move."
"How much are you paid a month as academy board members? Why listen to an old man and throw your lives away?"
Beiming Yuan looked at Meng Shenji and the other two before him, his expression indifferent, without a trace of panic.
Meng Shenji and the others' expressions changed. They suddenly felt a chill descend over them. An expert was clearly targeting them from the shadows.
Their opponent's strength was far above theirs!
"Meng Shenji, what are you waiting for? Seize him!" Prince Xue Xing's expression grew uglier and uglier when he saw Meng Shenji and the other two remain unmoved.
Before everyone's eyes, he, a prince who also served as the academy director, couldn't even command the board members?
An enormous disgrace! This was an enormous disgrace!
Yet Meng Shenji and the other two did not respond. Cold sweat streamed down their faces, and they instinctively stepped aside to make a path, not daring to stop him.
"There's an expert hidden nearby!"
As the strongest person present, Sword Douluo instantly sensed a faint, almost imperceptible chill enveloping Meng Shenji and the other two.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze shifted slightly, and his expression grew serious.
"A Peak Douluo?" Qian Renxue had also received a voice transmission from Ci Xue and She Long and knew that a supreme expert was hidden nearby.
Even so, she wasn't worried.
Even if that person sensed Ci Xue and She Long's presence, they would at most be surprised that there were Titled Douluo there. They couldn't trace them back to her.
Besides, Beiming Yuan wasn't necessarily an "enemy."
"Bastards!"
Prince Xue Xing, however, was like a fool who knew nothing, angry only that Meng Shenji and the other two had disobeyed his order.
"Old man, go be angry by yourself."
Beiming Yuan looked back with a smile and walked past Meng Shenji and the other two.
He had thought he could leave without trouble now, but unexpectedly, Prince Xue Xing smiled coldly. "Do you really think you can leave? Stop him!"
When Prince Xue Xing said "stop him," he wasn't speaking to Meng Shenji and the other two, or to anyone else. He was speaking to the air.
Just as everyone wondered what was happening, a sinister chill suddenly descended, and an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared in dark green armor.
"Young man, after trespassing into Heaven Dou Royal Academy and insulting an imperial prince, you can't simply leave whenever you please."
The old man blocked Beiming Yuan's path.
With his arrival, some of the greenery nearby instantly withered and fell away, as though tainted by some terrible poisonous gas.
"Grandpa?" Dugu Yan was slightly surprised to see the old man.
The old man was none other than Dugu Bo, a level ninety-one Titled Douluo renowned across the continent, whose title was Poison Douluo.
"Apologize to Prince Xue Xing, and I won't stop you from leaving. How about it?" Dugu Bo looked at Beiming Yuan, his tone not particularly cold.
This sight greatly shocked some of those who did not understand what was going on.
Prince Xue Xing's face stiffened, and his smile vanished.
"I was indeed wrong to trespass into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I can apologize for that."
Beiming Yuan smiled faintly, then changed the subject. "As for insulting the prince, if this old man thinks I haven't insulted him enough, I can say a few more things."
