130: Chapter 130 Who is the mole within the Tongyuan Society!
In the center of the martial arts arena, Su Ming turned a deaf ear to the uproar outside.
He picked up the last few plastic letter "B"s, tossed them into a tin bucket, and retracted them into his System space, his gaze sweeping across the System panel.
After forcibly withstanding several rounds of bombardment from Zhao Kuo's beastification, the Kinetic Siphon had absorbed and converted enough energy to earn him nearly ten thousand mass points.
He glanced at the cooling corpse at his feet and curled his lip.
"Tsk, if I had known you were so fragile, I would have let you hit me a few more times."
No sooner had the thought flashed through his mind than three powerful auras descended almost simultaneously.
A gust of cyan gale swept by, and Chu Yao's figure was the first to appear atop the ruins of the arena.
She continuously emitted her Wind Whisper perception, and after confirming again and again that there were no signs of Source Energy overload or vitality overdraft in Su Ming's body, the way she looked at him changed completely.
She was looking at an illogical, ultimate Genius.
Immediately after, Tie Moshan's mountain-like physique landed with a boom, causing the alloy floor beneath to emit a dull thud.
His copper-bell-sized eyes stared fixedly at Su Ming, his gaze as fanatical as a wolf that had been starving for three days seeing a sheep, and his fan-sized hands subconsciously reached out to pinch Su Ming's arm.
"Good lad! Your physique... how did you train it?!"
Su Ming raised an eyebrow and dodged to the side with disgust.
"Uncle, isn't this hobby of yours a bit too advanced?"
He shook the dust off his dark star battle armor.
"Watch your behavior in public."
Tie Moshan froze for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.
"That's the spirit! I like guys like you who are straightforward!"
Lang Qingyun's figure also descended.
The playful expression on his face had faded significantly, and his gaze towards Su Ming held traces of astonishment.
"Buddy, are you really a high school student?"
Just as the three mentors were preparing to speak up and fight over him, an extremely gloomy voice crashed down from the high platform behind them.
"You... beast!"
Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng of Imperial Capital University looked at Zhao Kuo's miserable corpse, his old face turning livid.
He suddenly erupted with the powerful Source Energy of an Early Stage Tier 5, turning into an afterimage, ignoring all rules, and rushing straight at Su Ming in the center of the arena ruins.
Crimson flames capable of melting gold and iron ignited on his withered claws, aiming straight for Su Ming's throat.
"Old thing, how dare you?!"
Tie Moshan's roar, like a thunderclap, exploded.
Facing the incoming Tier 5 killing intent, Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
The alloy floor beneath his feet cracked inch by inch as Mass Mastery was already primed and ready.
Although he didn't know what this old man was going crazy about, Su Ming neither looked for trouble nor feared it.
He had been worrying about not having a place to test his stress-bearing limits after promoting to Tier 4, so what did it matter if he had a clash?
However, before Su Ming could throw a punch, a figure like a steel wall had already crashed in front of him.
Tie Moshan, like an enraged Tyrannosaurus, did not dodge or evade, meeting Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng's fire claws with a simple, unadorned, heavy punch.
"BOOM—!!"
The airwave exploded.
Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng was knocked back three steps, while Tie Moshan stood unmoved, shielding Su Ming firmly behind him.
"Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng! Are you f***ing crazy?!"
Tie Moshan pointed at Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng's nose and cursed.
"A dignified Associate Professor of Imperial Capital University and one of the federal chief examiners, actually going for the kill against a candidate! Where is your shame?"
Blocked in public, a sinister look flashed in Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng's eyes.
He decided to just throw caution to the wind and bit back sharply.
"Su Ming! This was a sparring match between peers, yet you dealt a lethal blow with such cruel methods! You clearly have no Source Energy, yet you possess such a deformed Physical Body strength!"
"This is not some martial arts talent; you are definitely involved with the Tongyuan Society and must be a heretic parasitized by abyss demons!"
He suddenly raised his volume, sweeping his Tier 5 pressure across the entire venue without reservation.
"In my capacity as the Imperial Capital chief examiner, I demand that all your results be suspended immediately, and that you be detained on the spot for strict investigation!"
This was a heavy accusation, and its weight was undeniable.
Some uninformed candidates on the periphery trembled under this pressure, and whispers broke out everywhere.
Su Ming poked half his body out from behind Tie Moshan and scoffed.
Unhurriedly, he reached into his pocket, pulled a crumpled piece of white paper from his System space, and unfolded it.
In front of forty-seven million viewers online, he shook the paper, making it rustle loudly.
"Old man, are your eyes on your butt?"
"'Life and Death Contract'—can't you see those three big characters?"
"Once a Life and Death Contract is signed, life and death are determined by fate on the arena."
"You're here talking to me about peer friendship? Acting like your mother's Guanyin!"
Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng's eyelid twitched violently, and he immediately changed his excuse, pointing to the pile of carbonizing black residue on the ground.
"Silver-tongued! Then explain, what is the meaning of the beastification traces remaining on Zhao Kuo?"
"This is an absolute forbidden technology of the Tongyuan Society!"
"The whole Federation knows that the Tongyuan Society specializes in hunting down Genius Awakeners for human experimentation!"
"You, a piece of trash without any Source Energy, are able to possess strength comparable to Tier 4..."
Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng spoke word by word, every word piercing the heart.
"I see it clearly; you deliberately provoked Zhao Kuo, induced him to use the drug, and then killed him to silence him, destroying the evidence of the Tongyuan Society infiltrating the college entrance exam!"
Once these words were spoken, the comments in the live stream couldn't stand it anymore.
[I have never seen such a shameless person!]
[Double-standard dog! Why didn't I see you move when Zhao Kuo transformed just now?]
But the atmosphere at the scene froze subtly.
Many mentors looked at each other, and their gazes toward Su Ming held a hint of scrutiny.
The name of the Tongyuan Society was too big.
With this accusation from Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng, even if it were proven to be a frame-up later, it would be difficult for Su Ming to clear his name.
Su Ming looked at Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng's righteous appearance and suddenly laughed.
This old thing had too much drama.
"Tongyuan Society?"
Su Ming repeated the three words, his tone carrying obvious mockery.
"I don't even know what that is, and you're pinning it on me?"
He stepped forward, walking out of the protection range of the three mentors, and stood still.
His gaze pierced straight at Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng, and his voice suddenly became sharp.
"Then I will ask you a question."
"Just now, when Zhao Kuo injected the forbidden drug and turned into that Tier 4 monster, the Tier 5 mentors present were all preparing to forcibly break the barrier to save people."
"Why were you the only one sitting steadily on the high platform?"
Words! Piercing! The! Heart!
"Now that the person is dead, if we are going to inspect anything, we should inspect the person who used the drug, right?"
"Furthermore, you recognized this as the Tongyuan Society's forbidden technology at a glance."
"You are very familiar with the Tongyuan Society, aren't you?"
"You're the one who is the f***ing mole planted by the Tongyuan Society in Imperial Capital University, aren't you?!"
Once these words were spoken, the whole arena was in an uproar.
The angry curses in the live stream were overwhelming.
The gazes of the tens of thousands of candidates and parents at the scene instantly turned into extreme suspicion and disgust toward Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng.
Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng completely broke down, his old face turning the color of liver.
"You... you are slandering me!"
He roared.
"You sharp-tongued, ignorant child, am I someone you can frame at will?"
He was furious from embarrassment and attempted to force another attack while under the spotlight of everyone.
However, before he could get close,
"Zhou, do you think the few of us are just decorations?"
Lang Qingyun crossed his arms, lightning swirling around his body, sneering non-stop.
In front of Chu Yao, several cyan wind blades floated silently, their sharp edges exposed.
Tie Moshan directly cracked his knuckles, emitting a series of crisp sounds.
The three mentors, with three powerful auras, locked onto Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng.
Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng was forced to stop, his face looking ugly to the extreme.
He suddenly gave a cold, sinister smile and threw out his final trump card.
"Hmph! Even if you protect him, so what?"
He pointed at Su Ming, his voice full of malice.
"Don't forget, he tore up his test paper during the Literary Exam, and his score is zero!"
"According to the ironclad laws of the federal grand exam, those who get a zero on the Literary Exam are not qualified for admission to any top martial arts university!"
"We at Imperial Capital University will absolutely not admit a reckless brute without organization or discipline like this!"
"No matter how high your martial exam score is, it cannot change the fact that you got a zero on the Literary Exam!"
