En'en and the others had followed Zhong Shenxiu for long enough to immediately grasp the meaning behind his words in the Heart Province. A ripple of laughter immediately spread among them.
You guys were shouting, weren't you? We’ll let you shout your fill in a moment!
Wayne was the first to move, immediately tossing out three scrolls as casually as one would discard melon seed husks. At the same time, he thought to himself: Damn it, our "Homebody Magic and Martial Arts Academy" is not to be trifled with. Let me show you my might!
The scrolls hung in the air for only about three seconds after being thrown. Then, a flash of red light appeared, followed by an overwhelming confluence of magical elements. In the blink of an eye, three fifth-level Fire magic spells were formed, howling towards the students who were already stunned into paralysis by the sight!
BOOM!
A series of miserable outcomes followed.
It was somewhat lucky for them that since this was Wayne’s first time using scrolls, his angle control wasn't perfect, and one shot went into the sky. The other two only detonated near the students!
Even so, many were still burned by the splashing flames.
Paul and the others were only slightly slower than Wayne, and they, too, threw their scrolls in succession. Immediately, cries of agony rose everywhere. These students had never experienced such a scene. Seeing large-scale magic erupting one after another, they only wished their parents had given them two extra legs, and they began fleeing frantically in all directions!
Wayne and the others, fueled by the rage incited by the surrounding insults, now threw scrolls with fervor wherever the crowd was thickest, caring little if people died!
As a result, the students shoved and pushed each other; those untouched by magic were instead knocked down by their companions, leading to countless injuries from trampling!
In that moment, this place had effectively turned into a magical battlefield. Fifth and sixth-level spells erupted continuously, leaving the crowd with no time even to react or fight back!
From the start of the combat until not a single spectator remained standing, scarcely more than a minute had passed!
The middle-aged men standing near Wayne and the others were initially caught completely off guard by the sudden turn of events, frozen in place. But a moment of stunned silence eventually clears. They now snapped back to awareness, watching Wayne and the others still throwing scrolls in an ecstatic frenzy. Though astonished by the sheer number of scrolls they possessed, there was no longer time for hesitation!
Instantly, these few middle-aged men moved almost simultaneously. Each locked onto a target, swinging their swords toward the unprepared Wayne and his group! Judging by the momentum and the cold light blazing from their eyes, they intended to execute Wayne and the others right then and there!
However, they had completely overlooked the presence of Zhong Shenxiu and Robin!
Consequently, these poor middle-aged men were sent flying out like cannonballs all at once, crashing through walls and snapping trees, indicating the terrifying force of the blow!
Then, Robin was seen lightly flicking dust off the surface of her shoes with her small, delicate hand, before returning to Zhong Shenxiu's side as if nothing had happened.
Xirui, standing nearby, was too stunned to move. Although he hadn't seen Robin’s action, he knew she was responsible!
He never would have imagined that these two children were both so abnormally powerful. It was one thing for the little boy to subdue him using scrolls—after all, he was borrowing external objects—but this little girl had completely overpowered and sent those teachers flying purely on her own strength!
Heavens! Was she even human?
Xirui, who had already been too scared to cause any trouble, became even more terrified now. He knew exactly how strong those middle-aged men were, yet this little girl had dealt with them so effortlessly. The shock was indescribable!
After another minute or so, Wayne and his group finally stopped, their faces slightly flushed, filled with inexpressible excitement and thrill. That feeling just now had been too stimulating; they had never experienced anything so exhilarating in their lives. Those people who had been so arrogant moments before had either fled or collapsed in the blink of an eye!
“Go and bring over the person you mentioned earlier!” Zhong Shenxiu said faintly.
Wayne and the others blinked in surprise. They had been so caught up in the excitement that they had forgotten about that effeminate young man. Would he have fled by now?
They glanced around, and indeed, the young man was nowhere in sight, causing a pang of annoyance.
“There! Bring him over to me!” Zhong Shenxiu pointed to the side with his hand, his tone flat.
He had been constantly monitoring the movements around him. How could he let that scoundrel, Laitan, escape? Trying to run away in front of Zhong Shenxiu was harder than ascending to heaven!
Wayne and Paul went to check and indeed found the young man amidst the rubble.
Laitan was truly cunning; he was faking death and deliberately burying himself under the debris to make himself hard to spot! Yet, such a petty trick could not fool Zhong Shenxiu’s Fiery Golden Eyes!
To be honest, Laitan felt incredibly frustrated. He had sensed the danger the moment Wayne started using the scrolls. He wanted to flee, but his position was right at the front of the crowd, meaning escape required pushing through the masses!
Later, as the crowd surged and pushed, he unfortunately fell to the ground, becoming a pathway for others. After being trampled by the surging bodies, his leg seemed to break. Unable to stand and run anymore, he desperately thought of feigning death to trick them!
“You little rat, why aren’t you screaming anymore?” Wayne kicked Laitan as soon as he approached. If Zhong Shenxiu hadn't specifically ordered them to bring the person over, they truly would have wanted to beat him up thoroughly first! They needed to recover the humiliation suffered at noon, with interest!
Laitan, already injured from being trampled by his classmates, let out a grimace from Wayne’s not-so-gentle kick, but he dared not utter any more harsh words!
These people dared to challenge the "Diligangan Magic and Martial Arts Academy"...
“Teacher Zhong, this is the brat!” Wayne violently threw Laitan near Zhong Shenxiu, seemingly wanting to smash him to death just to vent his anger!
Although Laitan was dazed by Wayne’s throw, his ears were still sharp. He clearly heard Wayne address Zhong Shenxiu as ‘Teacher’!
This... this little brat is a teacher?
Laitan’s eyes nearly popped out, and he momentarily forgot the pain in his body!
Just then, Zhong Shenxiu said something that nearly suffocated him.
“I'll give you five minutes for revenge. Do not kill him!” Zhong Shenxiu’s voice carried no trace of emotion!
Wayne and the others were stunned at first, then overjoyed. This command clearly meant they were free to take revenge for their grievances and settle their scores.
“Brat, you should be grateful!” Wayne sneered wickedly, a smile that seemed to have been learned from Zhong Shenxiu.
Laitan truly should be grateful, because if Zhong Shenxiu had acted himself, he would definitely have regretted ever being born!
“Brat, we won’t kill you. Don't worry!” Paul said, flexing his fists in preparation.
Daisy also walked over. Although she didn't speak, her expression conveyed exactly what she intended: Brat, big sister is going to ‘cherish’ you properly!
And so, the group surrounded Laitan and began a collective beating, causing Laitan to scream incessantly and beg for mercy!
However, Wayne and the others showed no sign of stopping. On the contrary, the frequency of their blows increased!
Xirui watched Laitan being severely beaten from where he stood. He felt somewhat uneasy, as he was a professor here. Especially watching Laitan suffer so terribly and cry out, he finally couldn't help but ask Zhong Shenxiu: “W-what exactly do you people want?”
Zhong Shenxiu looked up at Xirui and said, “Your academy's students beat my students. I am here to seek justice for them!”
This statement wasn't very loud, but Wayne and the others heard it, causing their bodies to tremble slightly. A warmth spread through their hearts, and their blows softened slightly.
Xirui, however, stared blankly at Zhong Shenxiu, and after a long pause, managed to utter his second question: “Just for that?”
He truly couldn't believe that for such a minor reason, they would sneak into the "Diligangan Magic and Martial Arts Academy" late at night to cause trouble. Wasn't this an enormous overreaction?
The damaged public property and the injured people were immeasurable, yet it turned out to be all for such a small cause that brought such a huge consequence.
“Is that not enough?” Zhong Shenxiu countered.
He always acted according to his will. Anyone who dared bully those around him had to pay the price!
Xirui was stumped, at a loss for how to respond.
Just then, Wayne and his group ceased their actions. Looking at Laitan now, he was clearly barely breathing, having indeed been left with a shred of life.
Zhong Shenxiu walked over and looked down at Laitan, whose face was now a swollen mess. Without any visible action from Zhong Shenxiu, Laitan’s body was suddenly enveloped in a fleeting ball of light.
And then, Laitan, who moments ago looked close to death, regained a trace of vitality. He forced open his swollen eyes and stared in horror at the group surrounding him!
When his gaze fell upon Daisy, he couldn't help but shudder involuntarily.
Daisy had certainly contributed quite a bit during the beating. This little girl seemed to know exactly where a man’s weak points were, targeting Laitan’s groin repeatedly. At the time, it made the male onlookers like Wayne feel a prickling sensation up their spines!
It was estimated that after Daisy’s kicks, Laitan would become even more effeminate in the future! In Laitan's own words, this woman struck ruthlessly!
What followed was much simpler. Zhong Shenxiu extracted the precise locations of the other individuals from Laitan’s mouth and proceeded in that direction.
Laitan was carried in turns by Wayne and the others. The reason they brought him along was for use in the impending negotiations!
Setting aside how Zhong Shenxiu and his group moved, let's focus on Sheryl, who had fled with Reinhardt.
The two ran for over ten li before stopping.
“Sheryl, what is it?” Reinhardt still looked completely bewildered.
Sheryl didn't speak immediately but looked back cautiously several times, confirming there was no one following before letting out a breath. Seeing Reinhardt staring at him with confusion, he quickly said, “We managed to escape a calamity.”
“Escape a calamity?” Reinhardt was even more confused.
“Didn’t you hear the shouting and the explosions just now?”
“I heard them, that’s why I wanted to go back and see what happened!” Reinhardt was being very straightforward.
He was still thinking about what had transpired there, and why the noise erupted right after he and Sheryl left?
“I advise you had better not go back?” Sheryl said with a serious expression.
“Why?” Reinhardt tensed up from Sheryl’s expression and tone.
Although he was curious, he wasn't ignorant!
“If I’m not mistaken, there must be a battle raging over there!” Sheryl murmured.
He had been truly shocked when he first saw Zhong Shenxiu and Luo Bin. However, upon hearing the desperate shouts from the surroundings, he realized those students were definitely in for trouble. To avoid being caught in the crossfire, he had no choice but to drag Reinhardt away!
“A battle?” Reinhardt was initially stunned, then his eyes lit up with greater curiosity. “Who is fighting whom?”
“Did you see the two children in the center of the scene?” Sheryl countered with a question instead of an answer.
“It seems there were indeed two children,” Reinhardt recalled.
“I know those two children; they were from my former academy!” Sheryl glanced at Reinhardt, who was showing a look of puzzlement.
“Very strong?”
Reinhardt found it difficult to gauge the terrifying level of Zhong Shenxiu and Robin from just those two words, as they couldn't encompass that degree of abnormality!
Seeing Sheryl nod, Reinhardt asked again: “How strong? Stronger than you?”
Upon hearing this question, Sheryl let out a self-deprecating laugh, then surprisingly held up a single finger, murmuring again: “If those two really fought, I would be instantly killed in one blow!”
As he spoke, the scene of his spar with Robin that day flashed through his mind again!
“No... no way?” Reinhardt’s mouth dropped open wide.
“Those two are absolutely dangerous existences. I still haven't truly figured out the extent of their strength!” Sheryl said with reluctance.
“You’re exaggerating, aren’t you?” Reinhardt still couldn't believe it.
“Exaggerating?” Sheryl actually smiled. “Think carefully about the scene back then, and you’ll see if I’m exaggerating!”
Reinhardt began to concentrate on recalling the scene they had just witnessed. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, his body trembling violently, and he looked at Sheryl with an expression of utter horror!
Sheryl offered another self-mocking smile. “Now you understand, right? They only brought a few people, yet they managed to destroy the surroundings like that. Dozens of security guards lay on the ground, and those two children weren't even scratched.”
Reinhardt no longer had a choice but to believe, because the facts were exactly as Sheryl had stated!
The two fell into a brief silence, then Reinhardt abruptly looked up and asked a very serious question: “Sheryl, what are the names of those two children?”
“The boy is named Zhong Shenxiu! The girl is named Robin, full name Robin Tranche!”
Reinhardt asked no more questions, silently committing those two names to memory!
While the two were resting, footsteps suddenly echoed from ahead. Judging by the sound, there were quite a few people coming, and their strength was considerable!
Sheryl and Reinhardt looked up and were instantly stunned. A large contingent of school administrators was approaching—from department heads to the principal, almost everyone rarely seen was present at this moment! And behind them followed a host of security guards and teachers!
It was hard not to be shocked by such a grand display!
“The noise came from up ahead, probably not far now!”
“Are you sure someone attacked?”
“How many opponents are there?”
As they spoke, these people rushed close to Sheryl and Reinhardt, but they only glanced at the pair and didn't stop! It seemed they understood that time was short and could not be wasted!
These people moved very quickly, and in a short while, they arrived at the location of the incident. However, Zhong Shenxiu and his group had already departed, leaving behind only the injured and a scene of utter devastation.
When they witnessed all this, even though they had been psychologically prepared, they were still dumbfounded!
The principal’s face turned green with rage. Just this one incident, and the reputation of their "Diligangan Magic and Martial Arts Academy" was likely to plummet!
“We must capture the culprits,” the principal ground out through clenched teeth.
Accompanying his furious roar, an extremely powerful aura radiated outwards from him, causing those with weaker strength to involuntarily stagger backward!
As a principal, encountering such an event was an absolute humiliation!
He vowed that if he caught the culprits, he would make them pay a painful price!
“They should be over there!” a middle-aged man dressed as a mage suddenly shouted. He had just sensed a strong magical fluctuation emanating from that location!
A portion of the crowd stayed behind to manage the aftermath, while the rest hurried toward that direction!
Every single one of them wore a solemn expression; everyone was serious now! If the academy was ruined like this and they still couldn't catch the perpetrators, then they had no business being here!
Meanwhile, Zhong Shenxiu was sitting casually in a chair, waiting for these people to arrive.
Beside him, several more men beaten into pig heads had appeared—these were the individuals who had argued with Wayne and his group at the hotel. They had all been properly disciplined!
Wayne and the others looked at Zhong Shenxiu with perplexed expressions. They couldn't understand why, after settling accounts, he was still lingering here. Was he waiting for others to arrest them?
They had guessed correctly. Zhong Shenxiu was waiting for the bigger fish. Naturally, those 'big fish' were currently rushing toward this location, and there were quite a few of them!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Several sounds echoed, and then the figures of the leading group emerged.
Another sweep of their gaze confirmed a scene similar to what they had seen before—utterly devastating! What was truly shocking was that the male dormitory building before them had split open from the center outwards with a gap over a foot wide!
The gazes of these newcomers finally settled on Zhong Shenxiu’s group, because they were the only ones still standing!
“Xirui, what in the world is going on?” the principal interrogated Xirui with a darkened expression.
Xirui looked incredibly aggrieved, knowing that if he didn't speak up, he would be made the scapegoat. He quickly stated: “It has nothing to do with me.”
“Then whose business is it?” As the principal asked this, that extremely strong aura was unleashed again!
“Mine!” a childish yet lazy voice rang out, ... to be continued, please log on to Jin, for more chapters, support the author. Support genuine works.
Wayne and the others were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. This command clearly meant they were free to take revenge for their grievances and settle their scores.
“Brat, you should be grateful!” Wayne sneered wickedly, a smile that seemed to have been learned from Zhong Shenxiu.
Laitan truly should be grateful, because if Zhong Shenxiu had acted himself, he would definitely have regretted ever being born!
“Brat, we won’t kill you. Don't worry!” Paul said, flexing his fists in preparation.
