134: Chapter 134 Your justice is stabbing someone in the back?

The dark purple light curtain closed completely.

The martial arts arena of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School felt as if it had been pressed into deep water by a giant hand.

All Source Energy fluctuations sank down.

On the instructors' dais, those admissions representatives who were just preparing to snatch up recruits turned pale.

It wasn't as if they hadn't seen the Tongyuan Society before.

Those who could sit here, who hadn't stained their hands with the blood of Source Beasts?

But a Tier 6 Beast Seal Master leading the team, a Tier 5 Boundary Master sealing the field, Chief Examiner Li Feng beastifying on the spot, plus dozens of Blood Followers—this configuration was no longer just an attack.

This was aimed at clearing the field.

Instructor Ying Wuhen, the Assassination Class instructor who usually lacked presence, and Instructor Lin from the Magic Capital, who had remained silent throughout, both had their expressions darken.

The two of them gathered around Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng and Chu Yao without a word.

These few were already the highest combat power in the entire venue.

Tie Moshan stood to the left of Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng, his arm muscles tensed, his eyes fixed on the Mantis King atop the dome.

Instructor Ying Wuhen's presence was usually as low as air.

At this moment, however, he was the calmest.

He only glanced at the Mantis King, then looked at the Scorpion King beside the fissure.

"The Formation core is not on Chief Examiner Li Feng."

Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng frowned.

"Where is it?"

Instructor Ying Wuhen lifted his chin.

"Those testing machines."

"More than twenty units, all of them are Formation eyes."

Chu Yao gritted her teeth.

"No wonder the barrier wouldn't open earlier."

From the moment Su Ming blasted the shield-7 model, the dark purple energy had already shown itself.

It wasn't that the machines were broken.

It was that someone had long ago modified the college entrance exam equipment into Formation nodes.

Not far away, Principal Ma Aiguo of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School had legs shaking violently.

He was, after all, a Tier 4 Support Class Awakener.

Usually, in school, who wouldn't call out 'Principal Ma' when they saw him?

But under the suppression of this strange barrier, his talent [Light Healing Technique] couldn't even conjure up a ball of light.

He was already a combat-useless trash.

At this moment, he had completely become a burden.

He subconsciously moved behind Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng and the others.

Homeroom Teacher Wang Jianguo was even worse.

He shrunk behind a group of exam staff, still muttering,

"Can't see me, can't see me..."

Just as everyone was frozen by the Scorpion King's Tier 6 pressure, an inappropriate voice suddenly rang out.

Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng from Imperial Capital University, who had been slapped in the face and reduced to a laughingstock, stood out from the crowd.

He pointed at Chief Examiner Li Feng, who had transformed into a half-human, half-pangolin monster, his face full of grief and indignation.

"Chief Examiner Li Feng!"

"You are a disgrace to the Human Race!"

"How dare you betray the Federation and collude with the evil paths of the Tongyuan Society!"

He pounded his chest, his voice rising.

"Even if my Imperial Capital University sheds blood here today, we swear to stand against scum like you!"

Tie Moshan's eye twitched.

Lang Qingyun's mouth also twitched.

When is this, and this old thing is still trying to steal the spotlight?

However, the monster-like Chief Examiner Li Feng couldn't be bothered with him.

He bowed slightly, his face full of fawning and fanaticism, pointing remotely at the figure in the center of the ruins with hands in his pockets.

"Honored Envoy!"

Chief Examiner Li Feng extended his claws, pointing at Su Ming.

"It's that kid."

The entire venue's attention instantly focused.

Su Ming stood in the center of the shattered arena, his battle armor still stained with the black flesh residue from Zhao Kuo's explosion.

Chief Examiner Li Feng's voice trembled.

Not from fear.

It was excitement.

"He has no Source Energy."

"But his Physical Body strength is at least S-rank or above. He can withstand a Tier 4 colonized body and even possesses a rudimentary form of what appears to be a Gravity Domain."

"I suspect he is very likely what the Council Members are looking for..."

Chief Examiner Li Feng paused.

"The perfect first-generation gene."

The Scorpion King's left eye, which belonged to a human, narrowed slightly.

The other scarlet scorpion compound eye lit up with greedy red light.

"Oh?"

The surrounding candidates and instructors turned pale.

The Tongyuan Society went to such lengths to set up this killing game, mobilizing an old monster like a Tier 6 Beast Seal Master, just for a high school student?

A few scattered, resentful gazes were cast at Su Ming.

"It's all his fault..."

"If he hadn't been showing off, why would we be suffering along with him?"

"Shut up!" Ye Xiao turned his head abruptly, lightning exploding in his eyes.

"The Tongyuan Society is killing people, and you blame the hostage?"

"Has your brain been eaten by a Source Beast?"

The few candidates who spoke turned pale and immediately lowered their heads.

Shen Qingci did not turn back.

She only gripped her Tang cross-sword, cold edge, and moved half a step closer to Su Ming's side.

Su Ming, at the center of the storm, listening to Chief Examiner Li Feng and the Scorpion King, chuckled instead.

"Coming for me?"

"Sure."

He rubbed his chin.

"Has my fame spread from the light of the Righteous Path all the way to the villain's den?"

"Does this count as breaking out of the circle?"

Ye Xiao's mouth twitched.

"At a time like this, you're still proud?"

Shen Qingci looked at him coldly.

"Can you have some sense of crisis?"

Su Ming nodded immediately.

"Oh, oh, okay."

Then he looked up at the Scorpion King, his expression serious for half a second.

"The sense of crisis is here."

Shen Qingci: "..."

Ye Xiao: "..."

The Scorpion King's scarlet compound eye locked onto Su Ming, issuing a wheezing low laugh in his throat.

"Interesting."

"No Source Energy, Physical Body, Gravity Domain rudiment."

The six huge bony scorpion tails behind him slowly lifted.

The stinger dripped dark green venom, etching black smoke holes into the alloy floor.

"No wonder the Council Members want him alive!"

Chief Examiner Li Feng lowered his head immediately.

"Honored Envoy, other talents of B-rank or above can also be taken."

"The rest..."

The Scorpion King waved his hand.

"Kill them and feed them to the Source Beasts."

The voice was not loud.

But it made the entire martial arts arena instantly quiet.

The next second, the Blood Followers moved.

Two Tier 5 Wolf Kings leaped out simultaneously.

Four Tier 4 Beastified Humans rushed toward the spectator stands.

Dozens of Blood Followers scattered, pouncing toward the group of students.

"Establish a defense line!" Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng's voice was like a booming bell.

"All combat power above Tier 4, gather on me!"

"Military academy instructors, Imperial Capital, Magic Capital admissions representatives, no matter what your previous stance was, this is a battlefield now!"

"First defense line, block the Tier 5s!"

"Second defense line, escort the students to evacuate!"

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be dealt with by military law!"

He did not have the authority to deal with everyone.

But at this moment, no one argued.

Tie Moshan was the first to rush out.

Lang Qingyun followed closely.

Instructor Ying Wuhen's figure faded, disappearing between several broken walls.

Chu Yao raised her hand, forming several wind blades.

But the wind blades were half the size they usually were, and the edges were trembling.

She cursed in a low voice.

"This Formation is disgusting."

Chu Yao turned and looked at Principal Ma Aiguo, who was shaking behind her.

"Principal Ma Aiguo!" She shouted sternly.

"Look at me!"

"Right now, you are the only highest administrative official of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School!"

"Thousands of children and their families behind you are watching you!"

"Being the principal of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School doesn't mean you hide in the back and tremble!"

Principal Ma Aiguo shuddered.

Shame and fear surged onto his face simultaneously.

He bit his tongue hard, using the pain to suppress his weak legs, and stumbled to an independent control console nearby.

The next moment, the school's only backup Source Energy broadcast was forcibly activated.

"All students and teachers of No. 1 High School, listen to the order!"

"Combat sequence candidates, gather here and assist in the battle!"

"Other non-combat students and students below Tier 3, follow the military drill plan and evacuate immediately to the underground B3-level alloy shelter!"

"Medical students, stand by on the spot and prepare to receive the wounded!"

The broadcast sounded.

The campus, which was in chaos, finally found its direction.

The discipline of a key high school was forcibly awakened under the threat of death.

The students were still terrified, but they began to Move in teams.

A cold sword hum sounded.

Shen Qingci stood to Su Ming's left with her sword.

"Ha! Coming to Jiangcheng was really worth it!"

"This is fucking exciting!"

Ye Xiao laughed loudly.

Although the lightning on his body was dim, his Battle Intent could not be suppressed.

He strode to Su Ming's right, activated his remaining [Lightning Armor], and grinned.

"Su Ming, if we don't die today, you can't go back on that fight after the college entrance exam."

Su Ming glanced at him.

"Your last words are a bit pathetic."

Ye Xiao's face darkened.

"Get lost!"

In front, the Scorpion King had already moved.

"A bunch of ants, daring to block the way?"

There was no Move name.

No power accumulation.

The Tier 6 Physical Body erupted, and the ground instantly exploded with spider-web cracks.

Tie Moshan and Lang Qingyun met him simultaneously.

"Stop him!"

Tie Moshan crossed his fists, blocking the front.

Lang Qingyun dodged to the side, trying to deflect the impact.

But the Scorpion King just clenched his fists and blasted them left and right.

Bang!

Two muffled sounds.

Tie Moshan's expression changed, and he flew backward, crashing into the ruins.

Lang Qingyun didn't even have time to retreat, directly smashing through a row of seats, unable to crawl up for a long time.

The entire venue's heart tightened violently.

Tier 5.

Peak Tier 4.

In the Spirit Locking Formation, they couldn't even withstand a single encounter.

The gap was too big.

The Scorpion King raised a scorpion tail flashing with dark blue poison, bypassing the defense line formed by Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng and others, aiming straight for Su Ming's forehead.

Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng raised his hand to condense an ice shield.

The ice shield was pierced through as soon as it formed.

Chu Yao's wind cover followed.

It only lasted half a second.

The stinger was less than a meter away from Su Ming.

Shen Qingci's sword light slashed out.

Clang!

cold edge was deflected by the shock.

Ye Xiao's lightning fist followed, but was swept back two steps by the tail wind.

Su Ming narrowed his eyes.

[Kinetic Siphon], ready to absorb!

Just at this moment, Instructor Lin from the Magic Capital, who had been silent, suddenly stepped across, blocking in front of Su Ming.

She didn't have Source Energy fluctuations erupting on her, but instead crushed an ancient jade talisman in her palm.

That jade talisman, she had been clutching it in her sleeve since Chief Examiner Li Feng beastified.

In an instant, a layer of brilliant starlight protective shield erupted.

That layer of starlight was completely unaffected by the Spirit Locking Formation.

Clang—!!

A deafening metallic sound exploded.

The poisonous scorpion tail, which was enough to kill a Tier 5 powerhouse in seconds, was forcibly blocked by this thin layer of starlight shield.

The starlight ripples vibrated violently.

Instructor Lin's face paled a bit, and two dents were stepped into the alloy floor under her feet, but she did not retreat.

The entire venue burst into exclamations.

"Blocked?"

"A Tier 6 blow was blocked?"

"Is the Magic Capital instructor this strong?"

No one expected that a seemingly ordinary admissions instructor from the Magic Capital would hide such a trump card.

Instructor Lin stared at the Scorpion King, speaking coldly.

"The top brass of the Magic Capital had long sensed that the Tongyuan Society's Bloodline grafting experiments had signs of infiltrating the south."

"This [Star Track Defense Formation Plate] was specifically prepared to protect Prodigies under absolute suppression."

She turned her head and glanced at Su Ming.

"It was originally prepared for Ye Xiao."

Ye Xiao was stunned.

"For me?"

Instructor Lin was annoyed.

"Otherwise, for who?"

"You thought the Magic Capital sent you to Jiangcheng for a vacation?"

Ye Xiao scratched his head.

"I thought I was here to fight."

Su Ming interjected from the side.

"It's pretty much the same now."

"A luxury team-building event at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, with a Tier 6 playmate."

Instructor Lin's mouth twitched.

"Shut up!"

The starlight shield was propped up, and Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng, Chu Yao, Instructor Ying Wuhen, and others felt a boost in spirit.

The Scorpion King narrowed his compound eyes slightly, clearly not expecting this item to block his pure physical blow.

"Didn't expect to catch a member of the Lin family."

"Looks like this trip was a big harvest."

In the corner, Ye Xiao, who had just bandaged his wound, heard this, and his pupils shrank.

The Lin family? Could it be that Magic Capital Lin family?

Just at this moment, Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng also ran over from the flank, looking anxious.

"Director Lin, I'm here to help you!"

"This Scorpion King is too strong, we must work together to resist!"

As he spoke, he stood behind the side of Instructor Lin.

"For the Federation!"

"For justice!"

Instructor Lin looked sideways slightly.

When this old man jumped out to scold Chief Examiner Li Feng earlier, she felt it was superfluous.

But having an extra combat force at the moment was better than having less.

She nodded tacitly, then growled at Su Ming behind her.

"Su Ming, this shield can last for at most three minutes!"

"Go with Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng and the others..."

Her words were not finished.

The situation changed abruptly.

That Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng from Imperial Capital University, who had just been full of benevolence and morality, denouncing the Tongyuan Society, shouting "For justice", suddenly stuck to Instructor Lin's back.

In his withered palm, a jet-black short blade had appeared at some point.

On the blade, dark purple venom flowed.

Pfft!

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was piercingly clear on the chaotic battlefield.

Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng's old face was distorted with excitement.

He used all his strength to thrust that poisoned short blade fiercely through Instructor Lin's back!

The venom exploded along the wound.

The Meridians were rapidly dyed dark purple.

That layer of brilliant starlight protective shield flickered violently twice, and the light faded rapidly.

Instructor Lin's pupils contracted, and black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She turned her head with difficulty, looking at Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng.

"You..."

Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng whispered in her ear, his voice cold.

"People from the Lin family are always so troublesome."

The next moment.

Clatter—

The starlight shield shattered with a bang.

Everyone in the venue who saw this scene froze in place.

Chu Yao's face changed drastically.

Principal Ma Aiguo's broadcast device fell to the ground.

An indescribable horror turned into a bone-chilling coldness, rushing from the soles of his feet to his scalp!

A traitor.

It was actually him!
