62: Chapter 62 Geniuses Always Have to Prove Themselves by Leaping Across Levels
You damn golden-haired brute, you ambushed me!
Senior Student Chen Yao was not someone to be trifled with. She just didn't expect Ulysses, as a Saint Son, to actually launch a sneak attack!
A flash of spiritual light in her eyes, her talent was about to activate!
Several senior students from North Star nearby reacted extremely quickly, immediately wanting to step forward. However, their bodies seemed to instantly fall into an invisible quagmire, and a powerful will field temporarily suppressed them!
Just at this critical moment!
Crackling—!
A blinding, scorching bolt of lightning, like an angry dragon tearing through the sky, suddenly shot in from the side entrance of the auditorium! The lightning accurately swept past just before Senior Student Chen Yao fell into Ulysses's arms, and in the next moment, it condensed into a tall and straight figure.
It was Saiwei Krol!
Upon hearing that people from the Holy Alliance had arrived, he immediately pulled Li Yuan along and rushed over, just in time to witness this scene.
As a member of the Olympia Empire's royalty, Sai Wei had his own noble pride in his bones, and he felt disgraced by Ulysses's actions of using his ability in such a manner in this setting.
He steadily supported Senior Student Chen Yao, then looked up, his golden pupils burning with furious lightning, staring directly at Ulysses: "As a noble, don't you feel ashamed to use your ability in such a frivolous manner against a lady?!"
Ulysses looked at Sai Wei, who had suddenly burst in, and sensing his energy fluctuation was only at the third rank, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, as if looking at a noisy mosquito.
He didn't even bother to say more to Sai Wei, merely spoke again indifferently, his tone carrying an irresistible majesty: "God says, the disrespectful shall return whence they came."
Word Spirit: Forced Expulsion!
Sai Wei immediately felt a vast will enveloping him, attempting to expel him from this space and forcibly teleport him back to where he came from!
However, Sai Wei was not without knowledge. As a member of Olympia's royalty, he deeply understood how prophecy-type abilities worked.
"Grant will to lightning, bestow lightning with will!" Sai Wei roared, not retreating but instead merging his entire will into his violent lightning power!
Boom—!
Countless more intense and violent purple lightning bolts erupted from his body, as if shrouding him in a suit of lightning armor!
The Word Spirit power attempting to expel him fiercely collided with this lightning, which contained an unyielding will, emitting sizzling, almost burning sounds!
"Hmm? A member of Olympia's royalty." Ulysses showed a hint of surprise for the first time, finally looking Sai Wei squarely in the eye. "I underestimated you."
Immediately, a flash of offended anger appeared in his eyes, and his tone deepened slightly: "God says, those who profane divine majesty shall endure the judgment of Holy Light!"
Word Spirit: Holy Light Sanction!
As his words fell, in the void above Sai Wei's head, a gigantic Sword of Light, composed purely of highly compressed Holy Light energy and burning with golden flames, instantly materialized.
With a terrifying might capable of tearing apart all evil and purifying all irreverence, it ruthlessly stabbed down towards Sai Wei's head! Its speed and oppressive power far exceeded the previous expulsion!
"Clang—!!!"
A deafening clang, like a massive bell, echoed through the grand auditorium!
A figure emitting a soft glow, like the most loyal bulwark, stood in front of Sai Wei! It was the Light Guardian summoned by Li Yuan! The tip of the giant Sword of Light fiercely struck the Light Guardian's crossed light shield, erupting in dazzling brilliance!
The powerful impact instantly dimmed the Light Guardian's glow by a third, and even subtle energy cracks appeared on its shield-holding arm!
However, almost simultaneously, a healing spell descended, followed by an ethereal, melodious song imbued with infinite vitality and hope.
"Song of Light!"
Laya's clear voice was like a heavenly melody. She raised her hand, and sacred radiance fell like a waterfall, enveloping the damaged Light Guardian.
The cracks on the Light Guardian instantly repaired, and its dimmed glow visibly became brilliant again!
Ulysses's expression finally darkened. Being obstructed repeatedly had almost exhausted his patience. Golden light flared in his eyes, and even more powerful energy began to gather...
However, before he could make another move, a clear, cold pillar of moonlight descended from the sky, enveloping Ulysses!
The anger on Ulysses's face instantly turned into shock and disbelief!
He found that all his movements were completely immobilized at this moment! This was more like a... higher-level power!
"Enough!"
General Zhao Lie stepped forward, his gaze sharp, sweeping over the students from both sides. At the same time, Bishop Albert gently tapped his crystal scepter, and a soft yet vast power diffused, subtly defusing the tense atmosphere in the hall.
"Young people are full of vigor; sparring and exchange are good, but one must know their limits," General Zhao Lie said in a deep voice, his gaze lingering on Ulysses for a moment.
Bishop Albert still wore his benevolent smile, as if everything that just happened was merely a minor interlude: "Ulysses, you must not be rude to your hosts. General Zhao is right, exchange is about friendship."
The situation was forcibly stabilized by the two big figures. But anyone could tell that this matter was far from over.
After the small incident, the reception continued. The content of the meeting was mainly routine matters.
First, a warm welcome to the Holy Alliance Invitation Delegation visiting North Star Military Academy.
Then, General Director Albert elaborated on the specific arrangements, schedule, and precautions on the Holy Alliance's main star, 'Covenant Star,' for this 'Myriad Races Academy Visit Season.'
The only thing that needed to attract the attention of most students was the composition of this visiting team and the allocation of slots:
· Teacher Observation Group (6 people): Composed of one senior teacher from each major professional field, aimed at academic exchange and teaching discussions.
· Student Exchange Group (10 people), including:
· Core Combat Team (5 people): Selected through trials, primarily responsible for friendly exchanges and cooperative trials.
· Professional Support Team (4 people): One representative each for manufacturing, piloting, commanding, and research, selected internally by their respective departments.
· Alternate Slot (1 person)
· Team Leader (1 person): A seasoned administrative official designated by General Zhao Lie responsible for overall coordination.
Li Yuan sat below the stage, carefully listening to General Director Albert describing the grand blueprint for the Visit Season—
Visiting St. Alburn Glory Academy's cutting-edge laboratories; participating in simulated joint command; discussing the latest psionic applications and starship technology; and conducting "friendly" combat exercises in specific areas arranged by the Holy Alliance...
Going to the Holy Alliance to "visit and discuss the latest technology" and incidentally "exchange" seemed quite interesting.
...
After the meeting, in the delegation's accommodation area, Assistant Teacher Albert sat on the living room sofa, with Ulysses standing by his side. With a wave of his hand, the electronic devices in the room were shielded.
"Did you test them out?" Albert asked meaningfully.
"Indeed, there's something different; my prophecy art was completely suppressed," Ulysses respectfully replied.
"A power that suppresses prophecy art, interesting. No wonder even the Pope is paying attention," Albert smiled. "Find an opportunity to test it, or..."
Albert drew a finger across his neck, leaving the meaning unspoken.
"The Zerg are no longer a big problem; the glory of humanity must still belong to New Rome."
