52: Chapter 52 Preparing to Leave, Defeating the Elephant Armor

Three days passed.

Huo Wu, her brother, and Shui Yueer had all successfully absorbed their spirit rings.

Thanks to the effects of the Immortal Plant and whale glue.

Huo Wu's fourth spirit ring was 7,500 years old, and her current Soul Power was Rank 42.

Huo Wushuang's fourth spirit ring was 8,600 years old, and his current Soul Power was Rank 42.

Shui Yueer's third spirit ring was 3,000 years old, and her current Soul Power was Rank 34.

That day, Ji Xuan arrived at the Shenfeng Academy Principal's office.

Feng Qingyang was working, but upon seeing Ji Xuan arrive, he immediately put down his work and rose to welcome him.

"Your Highness, why have you come?"

"Now that matters in Element City are settled, it is time for me to leave," Ji Xuan said indifferently.

"Your Highness, are you leaving so soon?" Feng Qingyang asked, somewhat surprised. "Should I notify Principal Huo Chen and Principal Shui Wuyue to see you off?"

"No need," Ji Xuan shook his head. "Just tell them when the time comes."

"Yes, Your Highness."

On the streets of Element City.

Ji Xuan walked alone, with Golden Crocodile following in secret.

The streets, usually bustling with activity, were now devoid of people, and most of the shops on either side had their doors tightly shut.

This eerie silence stood in stark contrast to the usual hustle and bustle.

Ji Xuan frowned slightly, keenly sensing several fluctuations of Soul Power not far away.

He walked in the direction of the Soul Power fluctuations, and after turning the corner, the sight before him made his eyes turn cold.

In the center of the street stood seven extremely burly men, their Diamond Mammoth Spirits released; they were the seven members of the Xiangjia Team.

Surrounded in the middle were the sisters, Shui Binger and Shui Yueer.

Shui Binger shielded her sister behind her, cold air swirling around her body. Her Ice Phoenix Spirit was already released, and two yellow and one purple spirit ring flashed beneath her feet.

However, her cold, beautiful face was pale. Although her level had increased significantly after absorbing the Immortal Plant, she was still struggling under the Soul Power suppression of the seven men.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li stood at the very front, arms crossed over his chest, his face full of arrogance.

"Shui Binger, don't be ungrateful!"

"In this Element City, no woman the Elephant Armored Academy has set its sights on has ever managed to escape!"

If not for fearing Shui Binger's Family, he would have already resorted to force.

"You... don't go too far!" Shui Yueer said, her small face flushed with anger. "Do you know who my brother-in-law is?!"

"Oh? Isn't your brother-in-law going to be me?" Young Sect Master Huyan Li laughed.

"Hmph, my brother-in-law is the Saint of Spirit Hall!" Shui Yueer said, hands on her hips. "If he finds out about this, you're going to be in big trouble!"

"What? A Saint?" Young Sect Master Huyan Li acted as if he had heard a massive joke. "Haha, Shui Yueer, the excuse you've come up with is too ridiculous. I have never heard of Spirit Hall appointing a Saint."

"Enough nonsense. Binger, my dear, if you obediently come with me, wouldn't it be wonderful for the Elephant Armored Academy and Tianshui Academy to join forces?"

Young Sect Master Huyan Li stared greedily at Shui Binger's stunning face.

"What a fine Elephant Armored Academy. Do you really think you can act so arrogant and domineering just because you have Spirit Hall as your backer?"

Just then, a calm voice drifted over from a distance.

The voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Wuwu, brother-in-law, save us quickly."

Shui Yueer turned back to look in the direction of the voice, and seeing Ji Xuan in the distance, she shouted loudly.

The seven members of the Xiangjia Team also looked over, only to see a young man in white standing alone at the end of the street.

His expression was indifferent, as if he hadn't felt their Soul Power pressure at all.

"I wondered who it was; turns out it's someone from Shenfeng Academy. You really don't know when to die. If you're smart, get lost immediately and don't disturb my good time!"

Young Sect Master Huyan Li was stunned at first, but upon seeing that the person was from the Shenfeng Team, he sneered.

He didn't take Ji Xuan seriously at all.

The Elephant Armored Academy was used to running rampant in Element City.

Except for giving some face to the principals of the major element academies, they feared no one.

Shui Binger turned back to see Ji Xuan, a flash of worry in her beautiful eyes.

Although she knew Ji Xuan's status was extraordinary, she was not clear about his actual strength.

Now that the seven members of the Xiangjia Team were working together, she did not want to implicate Ji Xuan.

"Your Highness, you must leave!" Shui Binger shouted urgently.

"Your Highness?" Young Sect Master Huyan Li was stunned, then laughed even more wildly. "Him? He deserves to be called Your Highness? Shui Binger, you don't think you can scare us by calling just anyone over, do you?"

The other Elephant Armored Academy Disciples also burst into laughter, their gazes filled with disdain as they looked at Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan ignored their mockery and walked forward slowly, his expression calm.

Ji Xuan walked to Shui Binger's side, shielded them behind him, and swept his calm gaze over the seven men.

"Kneel and apologize now, and I might consider dealing with you lightly."

Shui Binger looked at the back that had suddenly blocked her way, slightly stunned.

Ji Xuan's shoulders, which were not particularly broad, made her feel inexplicably at ease.

"Arrogant!" Young Sect Master Huyan Li was furious. "Get him! Teach him a lesson! Break his limbs!"

The seven attacked simultaneously, the phantom of the Diamond Mammoth roaring as it charged toward Ji Xuan.

Such power would make even a Spirit Ancestor expert have to avoid its edge.

However, Ji Xuan just gently raised his hand.

A flash of green light passed, and the seven men were sent flying backward simultaneously like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily into the walls on both sides of the street.

Their Diamond Mammoth defense, which they were so proud of, was like paper in front of Ji Xuan.

Those hiding behind windows watching were all dumbfounded.

They never expected that the young man would have such terrifying strength.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li struggled to climb up, looking at Ji Xuan in terror; he finally understood that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

"Who... who exactly are you?" His voice trembled with fear.

"Brat! I am the Young Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Academy," Young Sect Master Huyan Li shouted, suppressing his fear. "You dare to injure me? My grandfather is a Spirit Douluo expert! He won't let you off!"

"That's perfect. I also want to pay a visit to Sect Master Huyan," Ji Xuan said, a cold sneer appearing on his lips.

Ji Xuan turned to Shui Binger and said softly, "You two go back first. They won't dare to come and provoke you again in the future."

Shui Binger looked at Ji Xuan blankly, unable to speak for a moment.

She knew Ji Xuan should be strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.

The seven members of the Xiangjia Team, working together, were like mere rabble before him.

"Brother-in-law, you are so amazing!"

Shui Yueer's previous fear had long since vanished.

She stepped forward happily, affectionately grabbing Ji Xuan's arm, her eyes sparkling with adoration.

"Alright, you two go back first."

Ji Xuan seemed somewhat helpless about Shui Yueer's address, but he didn't correct her, just patted her head.

"Thank you," Shui Binger said softly.

She knew there was an expert secretly protecting Ji Xuan, so she wasn't worried about his safety.

Ji Xuan smiled gently and nodded slightly.

After the sisters' figures disappeared around the street corner, the gentleness on Ji Xuan's face faded instantly.

He walked slowly to Young Sect Master Huyan Li. "Let's go. Take me to see your grandfather."

"Brat, are you really not afraid of death?! My grandfather is a Spirit Douluo!"

"Stop the nonsense, lead the way!"

Young Sect Master Huyan Li said no more. The seven helped each other and headed toward the Sect.

Young Sect Master Huyan Li secretly swore in his heart that once they reached the Sect, he would definitely make this brat pay!
