217: Chapter 217, Day 1: My senior and I were in jail.

"Flowers, come!"

With a loud shout, a sudden and surging wave of Source Energy erupted from Chu Hong's body. In the span of a single breath, completely mercilessly, he skyrocketed all at once from the Second Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm to the Second Stage of the Core Condensation Realm.

The sudden turn of events caused the pupils of the few people who had just rushed up with angry looks, intent on giving Chu Hong and his group a severe beating, to violently constrict.

"Wrong, wait, you..."

They slammed on the brakes with their feet, but Chu Hong had already slammed fiercely into the crowd like a fired cannonball.

"Kneel!!!"

The battleaxe [savage] in his hand hacked fiercely downward right at the head of the leader—a burly man who was also holding an axe, but a double-handed one.

"Boom!"

Under this single axe strike, the floor tiles beneath the man's feet shattered fiercely.

A piercing, numbing, and intense pain instantly coursed through the latter's waist, shoulders, and even his knees.

Before he could even react, one of Chu Hong's hands had already clamped fiercely onto the handle of his battleaxe. The savage strength made the man feel as though the kid in front of him—who was two heads shorter than him—

was like a savage gorilla locked in a contest of strength with him.

Under a massive pull, the heavy axe in his hand instantly slipped from his grip.

The next second.

With a ferocious grin, Chu Hong swung that heavy axe with one hand and smashed it fiercely toward him.

"I'm going to send you flying!"

"Boom——!"

It was just like smashing a baseball flying away!

The man's body instantly flew backward, and his entire person directly slammed into the crowd behind him, causing a wave of exclamations and commotion.

Everyone turned to look, and immediately afterwards, all of their pupils violently constricted.

"Core... Core Condensation Realm?!"

"Who is this person? Are they also from Tiangong Academy? I've never heard of them..."

They gasped in a breath of cold air, while Wei Boxue and the others—who were being besieged by the surrounding crowd and looked somewhat disheveled—turned back to see this scene, their eyeballs nearly popping out on the spot.

Because of the intense battle, Senior Sister Tao's lips had bitten onto a stray strand of hair.

That single eye not covered by her bangs could not help but flash with a hint of shocked complexity in its gaze as she looked at Chu Hong's nearly God of War-like appearance.

Holding a door-sized greatsword with bulging muscles all over his body, and under the excitation of Source Energy, Long Mou—who was nearly two and a half meters tall—had a hint of shock in his eyes.

Looking at the Source Energy erupting all over Chu Hong's body.

This was an explosive type of ability!

He recognized it at a glance, but... he had never heard of an ability that could allow someone to instantaneously burst out with combat power exceeding a major realm.

This...

Just as he was looking on in shock, Chu Hong had already fiercely rushed into the chaotic melee over here.

In one hand he held the single-handed battleaxe [savage], and with the other, he simply used brute force to swing the double-handed axe he had just seized.

The few people closest to Chu Hong immediately went down the same old path as the man from earlier.

Even though Chu Hong did not use the blade of the axe, the immense power erupted by the Second Stage of the Core Condensation Realm,

combined with his combat acuity—which allowed him to instantly catch the defensive flaws of the person in front of him with almost every strike—

caused everyone to scream and dodge in succession the moment he charged into the crowd.

"Holy shit! Where did this kid pop out from?!"

"Ah... This person isn't from Tiangong Academy. Who is this person?!"

Chu Hong swung his dual axes in full circles and smashed them fiercely. Close behind him, Wang Suming raised his shield, showing no ambiguity whatsoever when making a move against these unfamiliar "senior schoolmates".

Even while exercising restraint and not using the bone spikes on his large shield,

those people who were forcibly dragged in front of him by his grappling hook and then heavily bashed by his shield flew backward, falling to the ground while grimacing and screaming in agony.

The entire station instantly descended into complete chaos.

With a look of utter disbelief, Long Mou glared at Wei Boxue—whose spectacles lenses had been smashed to pieces by him—with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Are these your Tiangong Academy newcomers this year?"

Wei Boxue bared his teeth, pulled back the corner of his mouth that had just taken a heavy punch, and gasped in cold air.

However, upon hearing this sentence, his face immediately broke into a proud and smug, chuckling laugh.

"That's right! They are people from Tiangong Academy!"

Having said that, he abruptly yelled out at the top of his lungs toward Chu Hong's direction.

"Junior Chu, feel free to beat them up! We have people at the top; as long as you don't beat them to death, the academy will cover the medical bills!"

As soon as these words came out,

the few people closest to Chu Hong and Wang Suming—two fellows whose eyes had turned red from fighting—instantly felt a chill running down their backs.

"Wait, I, I'm not someone from Longming. We are from Iron Wall University..."

Chu Hong didn't reply, delivering a straight-legged flying kick.

"Just because it's Iron Wall you can attack us? Are you all Astro Boy?!"

"I, I'm from Sacred Heart Nursing, I..."

Wang Suming smashed them flying with a heavy bash of his large shield.

He roared anxiously: "Who the fuck has such a black heart, blocking my observation window!"

"Brother Hong, I really want to hit a woman now!"

Chu Hong swung his axe, strike after strike, as if every single axe blow was a clearance sale. Once this village passed, who knew when he would ever get to slash people in the real world again so completely without burden.

"You heard wrong, you're just a whiny, crying sissy!"

"Fatty! Push forward! The local gang's customs for welcoming newcomers are way too impolite! Fuck them! Fuck them to death!"

"Ahhh!"

Faintly, the screams within the crowd took on a somewhat broken, weeping tone.

When the harsh, beeping alarm sounded, accompanied by security personnel rushing in from all directions around them,

everyone simultaneously stopped the actions in their hands at the very first moment.

So skillfully that both sides seemed to share years of tacit understanding and habit, except for...

"Ahhhhh! Stop hitting! Stop hitting! The inspectors are here, the inspectors are here!"

Who knew which unlucky fellow from Source Energy University it was—Chu Hong and Wang Suming didn't know either, but out of so many people, the two of them happened to simultaneously single out this very guy and give him a fierce kick.

On Chu Hong's body, the duration of the ability [Slaughter Overlord] had long since passed.

But right now, he and Wang Suming still continued relentlessly to kick fiercely at the guy lying on the ground in front of them.

Cursing as they spoke.

"Welcome! Are you welcoming us or not?!"

"Happy! Are you happy or not?!"

"Scream, keep screaming for us too!"

Seeing Wang Suming's face flush red as he was about to swing his large shield up and smash it like a door panel wildly onto the person before him, Wei Boxue and the others nearby hurriedly reacted.

Yanking the two of them back.

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting, the inspectors are here! If you keep beating them, even the academy won't be able to shield you from disciplinary action..."

That phrase "won't be able to shield you" finally caused Chu Hong and Wang Suming, who were fighting to their heart's content, to halt their hands.

Seeing everyone else around them uniformly cradling their heads and squatting on the ground.

The two of them also immediately grasped it without being taught.

Looking at the angry inspector walking over, Wang Suming's eyes rolled, and he exchanged a glance with Chu Hong.

The next second.

"Wuuu wuuu, the senior students of the colleges in Xialong Base City are bullying and hazing newcomers! Wuuu wuuu, treating us like this on our very first day here is too much..."

The unlucky fellow who had been beaten black and blue by the two of them to the point even his own parents wouldn't recognize him saw this scene and nearly fainted from anger on the spot.

The inspector's expression was gloomy, and his gaze merely lingered indifferently on Chu Hong and Wang Suming for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Wei Boxue, Long Mou, and the others, and then glanced at the messy and shattered station all around them.

Gritting his teeth.

"It's you few again..."

Accompanied by the heavy iron door being slammed shut, Chu Hong and Wang Suming were locked in the same holding cell, along with the masterminds of this conflict:

Wei Boxue, Gong Lei (the rough mecha guy), and... Long Mou.

"The newcomers from your Tiangong Academy are so arrogant this year... On the very first day here, you dared to make a move against so many of us... You swung your axes so fast they left afterimages!" Long Mou glared fixedly at Chu Hong with his eyes.

But he failed to notice Wei Boxue and Gong Lei, who were looking at each other and secretly chuckling at this moment.

And right at this moment,

a crisp sound of high heels stepping on the floor came over, and a gorgeous and sexy figure in black silk appeared at the prison door.

Chu Hong and Wang Suming widened their eyes.

Wait, what kind of trespassing into the imperial family plot is this? We're all locked inside, why are you outside?

And it looks like nothing even happened to you?

Senior Sister Tao did not explain, calmly handing the tablet in her hand in front of Chu Hong and Wang Suming.

"Register your handprints here, and then you guys can come out."

The figures of Song Jiaojiao and Luo Xin appeared behind Senior Sister Tao, giving a slight nod toward the two of them.

Seeing this,

Chu Hong and Wang Suming did not hesitate at all, directly following suit.

Just the moment the two pressed their handprints and a "beep" came from the tablet,

Wei Boxue and Gong Lei—who had previously been beaten submissively by Long Mou, huddled up squatting in the corner looking bruised and battered—exchanged glances.

Suddenly high-fived each other and burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahahaha, you stupid Longming Sacred Academy musclemen!"

"Today's glory still belongs to Tiangong Academy!"

"Thank you to the ultimate suckers, Longming Sacred Academy, for sending over four super~ geniuses!!!"
