127: Chapter 127 Lin Xinglan: How dare you! Release my Holy Son!
Linhai Investigation Bureau.
In the control room, all screens returned to normal.
The red alerts for the National Unified Examination were extinguished one by one.
The rule pollution index of the Foreign Language Tribunal dropped from off the charts down to the safety threshold.
Chu Youwei's name was hung in the highest authority column.
Two characters were added behind it.
[King-level]
Chen Jianguo stared at these two characters, not blinking for a long time.
He picked up his thermos and took a sip.
He didn't swallow.
The water flowed down the corner of his mouth to his collar.
Only then did he react, lowering his head to wipe it.
"No way."
Chen Jianguo's voice was fluttering.
"Did Student Chu really ascend to the throne?"
No one answered.
Executive Jiang Xu stood in front of the screen, the dark gold spear leaning against the wall.
He watched the rule curve that had stabilized, his eyes not relaxing but sinking deeper.
Chen Jianguo lowered his voice.
"I thought The Rancher would eat Student Chu the moment she ascended the throne."
"After all, he likes eating high-ranking Strange Tales the most."
With these words, the control room became even quieter.
Su Yao stood to the side, her face looking terrible.
She had thought of this too.
And more than once.
In her past life, that monster had no allies.
No mercy.
And no so-called companions.
In his eyes, all high-level existences were only of two kinds.
Those that could be eaten.
Those that couldn't be eaten yet.
Therefore, the moment Chu Youwei truly sat on the throne, Su Yao had even prepared to make a move.
But The Rancher didn't eat her.
He helped her block the pollution.
He helped her induce Old Fengdu.
He helped her take the throne.
And then, he disappeared.
This didn't fit the past life.
It also didn't fit the instincts of Strange Tales.
Executive Jiang Xu spoke.
"He has his own style of doing things."
Chen Jianguo looked at him.
"What style?"
Executive Jiang Xu was silent for two seconds.
"He only eats the things he thinks he should eat."
Chen Jianguo's mouth twitched.
"That counts as a style?"
Executive Jiang Xu looked at the screen.
"It counts."
"He ate the Mirage of the Sea Kingdom because the Sea Kingdom wanted to destroy Linhai."
"He ate the Six Disasters of Neon because they destroyed his ranch."
"He ate the core of the Foreign Language Tribunal but didn't use it to ascend to the throne because that rule would limit his ceiling."
"He swallowed Zhou Qi and the Laws of Old Fengdu because they cheated and even pushed the throne full for him."
Executive Jiang Xu paused.
"His consumption isn't driven by hunger."
"It's driven by profit."
Chen Jianguo understood.
And then felt even worse.
"So he isn't a beast."
Executive Jiang Xu nodded.
"He is an operator."
With these three words, Su Yao's hands clenched slightly.
An operator.
More terrifying than a destroyer.
A destroyer only smashes the world.
An operator will transform the world into the shape he wants.
Ye Zhiwei sat in her chair, her face still a bit pale.
She closed her eyes, her voice very soft.
"Maybe there is another reason."
Executive Jiang Xu turned back.
Ye Zhiwei raised her hand, pointing to Chu Youwei's name on the screen.
"He isn't afraid of Chu Youwei ascending to the throne."
Chen Jianguo was stunned for a moment.
Ye Zhiwei continued, "Humanity now is too weak."
"Every time a high-level Strange Tale appears, he has to make a move in the end."
"The reservoir rift was like this, the Mirage of the Sea Kingdom was like this, and today's Foreign Language Tribunal is the same."
She paused.
"If he really treats the Great Xia as a ranch."
"Then having a King-level watchdog in the ranch is actually beneficial to him."
Chen Jianguo was silent.
This statement was harsh.
But reasonable.
The Rancher doesn't need humans to be strong enough to resist him.
But he needs humans to be strong enough to hold back a portion of the disasters themselves.
Otherwise, if he has to step in for everything.
He wouldn't be called The Rancher.
He would be called a corporate slave.
Chen Jianguo rubbed his temples.
"So, the first King of Rules we worked so hard to cultivate might, in his eyes, just be a security manager for the ranch?"
Ye Zhiwei didn't refute.
Executive Jiang Xu didn't either.
Chen Jianguo took a deep breath.
"That is indeed possible."
Just as the words fell.
The encrypted communicator rang.
Executive Jiang Xu connected.
Commander Li Zhenshan's face appeared on the screen.
The Supreme Commander was always composed.
But this time, his first sentence was fast.
"Executive Jiang Xu, the result."
Executive Jiang Xu stood straight.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief."
"Chu Youwei has successfully borne the rules of the Foreign Language Tribunal."
"Old Fengdu's attempt to seize power failed."
"The crisis of the National Unified Examination has been resolved."
"Chu Youwei has ascended to the throne."
The other side of the communication was silent for three seconds.
Commander Li Zhenshan let out a long breath.
In that breath, the lives of 1.3 billion people in Great Xia were pressed.
"Good."
"Very good."
Chen Jianguo muttered on the side.
"It is indeed good, but the process isn't really suitable to be written into the report."
Commander Li Zhenshan heard it.
But he ignored it.
He stared at Executive Jiang Xu.
"Have Chu Youwei come to High Command immediately."
"King-level rule users must undergo the highest level of registration."
"At the same time, she needs to undergo an order stability test."
Executive Jiang Xu's expression paused for a moment.
Commander Li Zhenshan frowned.
"Is there a problem?"
Executive Jiang Xu glanced at the balcony.
It was already empty.
He looked at the real-time monitoring of Linhai No. 2 High School again.
In the picture, Senior Year Class 2 was dead silent.
Chu Youwei was leaning over Su Yun's desk.
Having just finished kissing him.
The whole class looked like they had been collectively sealed.
Gu Lang's expression was particularly spectacular.
Executive Jiang Xu was silent for two seconds.
"Commander-in-Chief."
"Student Chu is... perhaps temporarily inconvenient right now."
Commander Li Zhenshan's eyelids twitched.
"Did she lose control?"
"No."
"Attacked?"
"Also no."
"Then why is it inconvenient?"
Executive Jiang Xu was expressionless.
"After she ascended to the throne, she went to school the first thing."
"To confess her feelings to her little boyfriend."
On the other end of the communication.
Commander Li Zhenshan: "..."
Chen Jianguo looked down at the floor.
Ye Zhiwei turned her face away.
Su Yao closed her eyes.
She just wanted to drag Su Yun out of the classroom and beat him up.
Although she didn't know why she wanted to beat him.
Commander Li Zhenshan was silent for a long time.
"Executive Jiang Xu."
"In the first registration report for the King-level rule user, can we not have the words 'little boyfriend' appear?"
Executive Jiang Xu nodded.
"We can change it to 'key emotional anchor'."
Commander Li Zhenshan was silent again.
"That's even worse."
...
Above Linhai City.
A stream of golden light tore through the clouds and fell toward Linhai No. 2 High School.
Saintess Lin Xinglan had just returned from a neighboring city.
Arbiter Lei Zhen and Arbiter Qin Feng appeared in front of her immediately.
However, their expressions didn't look very good.
The two had just seen someone ascend to the throne.
Even worse, that new King seemed to be in the same class as Su Yun.
Arbiter Lei Zhen opened his mouth.
"Saintess, regarding the King-level fluctuation just now..."
Saintess Lin Xinglan didn't turn her head.
"Ignore it for now."
Arbiter Qin Feng said, biting the bullet: "But the location of that aura is right at..."
"I said, ignore it for now."
Saintess Lin Xinglan stopped at the school gate.
Outside the school gate, personnel from the Investigation Bureau, The Watchers, and the Sanctuary were all deploying on the perimeter.
But she didn't even glance at them.
She only stared at the teaching building.
"You reported just now that a woman is coveting the Saint, Su Yun?"
Arbiter Lei Zhen was silent.
Arbiter Qin Feng was also silent.
This didn't sound serious.
But if Su Yun were replaced with "son of the former Saintess," "suspected Saint," or "future core protection object of the Sanctuary."
Then the nature would be completely different.
Arbiter Lei Zhen said in a low voice: "Currently, it seems the other party should not have any malice."
Saintess Lin Xinglan smiled slightly.
"Whether there is malice or not is not for you to decide."
Arbiter Qin Feng said hurriedly: "Saintess, her identity might be quite special, we suggest waiting for the Investigation Bureau..."
Saintess Lin Xinglan raised her hand.
Golden Holy Light flashed at her fingertips.
In the next second, she disappeared from the school gate.
Arbiter Lei Zhen's expression changed.
"Oh no."
Arbiter Qin Feng's mouth twitched.
"I knew we couldn't stop her."
Arbiter Lei Zhen looked at the teaching building, sweat starting to form on his forehead.
"The problem is, the one inside just ascended to the throne."
Arbiter Qin Feng was silent for two seconds.
"Sigh, we're done for!"
The two looked at each other.
Both seeing the same sentence in the other's eyes.
Will Linhai No. 2 High School be beaten into Linhai No. 3 High School today?
...
Senior Year Class 2.
The air was still frozen.
Chu Youwei supported herself with both hands on Su Yun's desk, having just straightened up.
Su Yun sat in his seat, a bit of warmth still remaining on his face.
He looked up at the girl in front of him.
The black Invigilator uniform hugged her slender figure, with fine letters flowing on the cuffs.
Her eyes were much brighter than before.
Not the gentle and quiet brightness of a school beauty.
But the danger after mastering rules.
Su Yun was silent for two seconds.
He really hadn't expected it.
Chu Youwei actually liked him.
This conclusion wasn't hard to deduce.
But when she wrote the answer on his face in this way, Su Yun still hadn't quite reacted.
This felt very magical.
He had swallowed half-Kings, pitted Ghost Emperors, and transformed Executive Jiang Xu.
Yet now, he was kissed by a female classmate.
He actually didn't know what to say.
Outrageous.
Extremely outrageous.
The whole class also didn't know what to say.
Li Hao lay on the desk, his mouth open wide enough to fit half a steamed bun.
The Homeroom Teacher stood by the podium, the chalk in her hand broken into two pieces.
Gu Lang sat next to Su Yun, his body tensed like a steel bar.
The Corpse-eating Dog inside him was frantically playing dead.
Not ordinary fear.
It was encountering a natural enemy.
A King-level rule user.
And a new King who had just ascended, whose rules hadn't completely converged.
This was like a stray dog suddenly discovering that a Hellish educational director holding a teaching whip had arrived next door.
Gu Lang even lightened his breathing.
Yet Li Hao wasn't afraid of death.
He slowly raised his hand.
"That..."
The whole class looked over.
Li Hao swallowed, but still couldn't hold back.
"Are you two not even hiding it from people now?"
Gu Lang's expression changed, and he directly reached out to cover his mouth.
Too late.
Chu Youwei turned her head to look at Li Hao.
She wasn't angry.
She even smiled.
"Student Li Hao."
Li Hao stiffened.
"Here."
Chu Youwei raised her hand.
A black roster unfolded in her palm.
"Disturbing classmates from communicating during class, I punish you to study mathematics seriously for thirty minutes."
Li Hao was stunned.
"Ah?"
In the next second.
A black letter landed on his forehead.
Li Hao's eyes changed instantly.
He sat up straight abruptly.
Whoosh.
He pulled out his math workbook.
Whoosh.
He opened the function topic.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
He started solving problems frantically.
While writing, he recited.
"Domain, range, monotonicity, parity, derivative to find extreme values..."
The whole class: "..."
The Homeroom Teacher: "..."
Li Hao himself was crying while writing.
"I don't want to study math..."
But his hands couldn't stop.
He was even writing neater than usual.
Gu Lang felt his scalp go numb.
This rule wasn't just Foreign Language anymore.
It was expanding comprehensively into "exams," "study," and "discipline."
Chu Youwei hadn't ascended the Foreign Language throne.
It was the prototype of an educational trial.
Su Yun frowned.
Good grief.
The woman who ascended to the throne had started to become lawless.
He looked at Chu Youwei.
"Student Chu, isn't this not very good?"
Chu Youwei turned back.
She was leaning very close.
Her voice also softened.
"Brother Yun."
The whole class's bodies shook at the same time.
Gu Lang almost snapped his pen.
Su Yun's eyelid twitched.
Chu Youwei asked again: "Are you despising me?"
Su Yun: "..."
This form of address was a bit aggressive.
He coughed.
"I mean, isn't it not very good for you to treat Haozi like this?"
Chu Youwei thought seriously.
"Letting him study hard, what's not good about that?"
Su Yun was unable to refute for a moment.
Chu Youwei looked at the podium.
"Teacher, don't you think so?"
The Homeroom Teacher trembled.
She looked at the phantom of the throne behind Chu Youwei, and then at Li Hao who was frantically doing math problems.
She wasn't stupid.
Chu Youwei definitely wasn't normal right now.
Very not normal.
But she knew one thing more clearly.
When a student could make the whole class study voluntarily, she had better not object.
The Homeroom Teacher pushed her glasses, her voice firm.
"Student Chu is right."
"I firmly support Student Chu's decision."
"I think Student Chu should let all students enter this state of active learning."
The whole class looked up abruptly.
Teacher!
You defected too fast!
Chu Youwei nodded.
"Makes sense."
She waved her hand.
Countless black letters flew out from her cuffs, landing in every corner of the classroom.
Slap.
Slap.
Slap.
The letters attached to the students.
In the next second.
The whole classroom exploded.
Not noise.
It was study that exploded.
Someone started reciting ancient poetry.
"Xunyang River head night send off guests, maple leaves reed flowers autumn rustling..."
Someone started doing physics.
"Force analysis, draw gravity first, then draw supporting force..."
Someone opened the politics textbook, their eyes fanatical.
"Matter determines consciousness, consciousness reacts on matter!"
Someone else was crying while transcribing chemical equations.
Gu Lang didn't escape either.
A letter landed on the back of his hand.
The black test paper in front of him automatically turned into a comprehensive exercise.
[Please analyze the core structure of the Strange Talk Sequence 033 Corpse-eating Dog, and write a reflection report of no less than eight hundred words.]
Gu Lang: "?"
This is also tested?
He wanted to resist.
But his hand had already moved.
He started writing.
"I shouldn't have released Sequence aura on campus, shouldn't have misjudged my deskmate, shouldn't have suspected a normal classmate..."
When he wrote the four words "normal classmate," Gu Lang almost vomited blood.
Is this reasonable?
Where is this normal?
Su Yun watched the whole class enter a state of fanatical study, falling into silence.
This scene was even more bizarre than a Strange Tale attacking the city.
Chu Youwei turned around, looking at him again.
The black throne behind her faded a bit.
It was as if she had deliberately pressed it back into her body.
"Brother Yun."
She said softly.
"Now, no one will disturb us."
Su Yun: "..."
He suddenly understood why Executive Jiang Xu hated rule-type abilities so much.
This thing didn't reason.
Especially when the person who mastered it had just kissed you.
Su Yun was about to speak.
At the end of the corridor, a cold shout suddenly came.
"How bold!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried the pressure of Holy Light judgment.
At the classroom door.
Golden light spread layer by layer.
Countless black letters were forced to stop in mid-air by the Holy Light.
Chu Youwei turned her head slowly.
Su Yun also raised his eyes.
In the next second.
Saintess Lin Xinglan stepped into the classroom.
She was in her Sanctuary robe, her long golden hair hanging behind her shoulders, her brows and eyes so cold they could freeze the corridor.
She saw Chu Youwei.
She also saw the trace on Su Yun's face that hadn't completely dissipated.
She even saw the whole class of students being forcibly pressed to study by black rules.
Saintess Lin Xinglan's eyes changed on the spot.
Arbiter Lei Zhen and Arbiter Qin Feng rushed to the door following her.
The two wanted to explain.
But it was too late.
Saintess Lin Xinglan raised her hand, the Holy Light condensed into a judgment longsword.
The sword tip pointed directly at Chu Youwei.
"Strange Tale."
"How dare you humiliate our Sanctuary's Saint like this."
She took a step forward.
The glass in the whole classroom shook at the same time.
"Let go of him."
