92: Chapter 92 Are you getting prickly heat?

As soon as the red-haired youth finished speaking, the nearby rows of seats quieted down a bit.

The vast majority of people still didn't believe Lu Cheng's so-called million combat power and just treated him as a joke. However, those who could board this ship had some level of strength, and they felt no need to voice their opinions.

Who had nothing better to do than argue with a stranger about something like that?

Well, now that someone had spoken up, there was a good show to watch.

Many people nearby quietly turned their gazes over. Even the people in front who had originally been chatting in low voices stopped, turning their shoulders slightly, clearly waiting for what would happen next.

Lu Cheng also turned his head and looked at the red-haired male.

His gaze was very complex.

It contained one part confusion, two parts bewilderment, three parts indifference, two parts pity, and two parts concern.

It had been a long time since he had received such a formal provocation.

This standard procedure of sitting in a seat, sneering first, then mocking, and then speaking to provoke hostility actually gave Lu Cheng a sense of long-lost familiarity.

Besides... that head of red hair.

It looked very strong.

Lu Cheng took a couple more looks and even silently gave the other party some bonus points in his mind.

The red-haired youth was probably seventeen or eighteen years old, with high brow bones, a straight nose bridge, and features that carried a sharp edge. His school jacket was open, and a crimson-gold family crest was pinned to his chest, his whole person exuding a sense of flamboyance.

Someone nearby spoke in a low voice.

"That's Pei Yan, right?"

"It seems he's from the Pei family of the South Sixth District."

"No wonder he's so arrogant..."

"The Pei family specializes in fire-element techniques. I heard he's the most outstanding one in this generation."

"This is getting interesting."

The low murmurs spread.

Pei Yan clearly heard it too, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth became more pronounced.

He stared at Lu Cheng, the contempt in his eyes barely concealed.

"What, no more talking?"

"Weren't you quite the braggart just now?"

Xia Xi, who was nearby, heard someone insulting them, and her temper flared up immediately. After she muttered a few words...

Suddenly, the red-haired male's butt clenched, and he bolted upright.

"Hiss!"

"Who?!"

He sprang up from his seat, his hand subconsciously reaching behind him, his expression one of shock and anger.

"Who hit me?!"

This shout stunned everyone around, and the people in the nearby rows looked at him in unison.

Pei Yan himself quickly turned his head, sweeping his gaze around, his face looking extremely ugly.

No one moved, no one laughed, and no one revealed any flaws.

He didn't discover anything.

A boy sitting next to him was stunned and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Pei, are you having an illusion?"

This person was a friend he had just met not long ago; they had chatted quite congenially along the way, and at this moment, he also looked bewildered.

Pei Yan's eye twitched.

"How is that possible? Someone clearly poked my bu..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through.

The expressions of the few people nearby suddenly became very interesting.

Lu Cheng had been holding it in, but hearing this, he truly couldn't help it.

"Pfft."

He lifted his head, looking at Pei Yan with a sincere expression.

"Buddy, you wouldn't happen to have heat rash there and forgot to apply baby powder, would you?"

The air was silent for a moment.

Zhou Jinan immediately lowered his head, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Qian Shuying turned her face away, the corner of her mouth also twitching slightly.

Xia Xi was stunned for a second, then immediately laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha hahahaha..."

Pei Yan's face turned black instantly.

"You're courting death!"

Boom!

His Source Power exploded violently, and crimson flames surged directly from his body surface. Heat waves rolled out in all directions, forcing the people nearby to shrink back.

As the firelight flared, the alarm lights in the entire cabin instantly turned red.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Sharp warning sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

The next second...

Click, click, click!

The metal plates around the cabin flipped open violently, and rows of high-pressure water guns poked out, their dark nozzles precisely locking onto Pei Yan.

Pei Yan hadn't even reacted yet.

Immediately after.

Szzzz!!!

A dozen high-pressure water jets sprayed simultaneously, slamming into him head-on.

"What the f*ck!"

The flames Pei Yan had just raised didn't even last three seconds before they were doused with a crackling sound, white steam rising up.

He was knocked backward, his hair, clothes, and pants all soaked through.

The entire cabin went silent.

It was so quiet that only the sound of water gushing and dripping remained.

A few seconds later, a low, coarse voice came from the front, carrying obvious pressure.

"Playing with fire inside the airship is prohibited!"

It was that burly man in the War General Realm who had been responsible for guiding them onto the ship earlier.

He stood at the front cabin entrance with his arms crossed, his face very dark. As soon as his voice came out, the air in the entire cabin seemed to sink a little.

Pei Yan had originally wanted to lash out, but upon hearing this voice, his neck subconsciously shrank back.

The pressure from the War General Realm was too terrifying...

The fire on him had been extinguished completely, his hair was plastered to his forehead, water droplets were dripping down from his chin, and he looked incredibly disheveled.

Some people nearby couldn't hold it in anymore.

Lu Cheng watched this scene, feeling quite moved.

High technology is just great.

This airship's security system is truly dedicated.

Pei Yan looked up and glared fiercely at Lu Cheng, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"Just wait until we get off the airship..."

He gritted his teeth and said, word by word.

"I'll make you pay!"

Lu Cheng looked puzzled.

"Huh?"

He really didn't understand.

"Why is this guy holding a grudge against me?"

It was clearly him who lit a fire in the airship, and he got sprayed by the water guns, yet he still blamed him for it?

Lu Cheng stared at Pei Yan's soaked pants and lower back, his expression gradually becoming subtle.

This guy...

He didn't actually get heat rash, did he???

Pei Yan's chest heaved a few times, and finally, he sat back down with a dark face, leaving a dark stain on the seat from the water on his body.

The friend next to him cautiously moved to the side, his expression very complex.

Clearly, for this "Brother Pei" he had just met not long ago, his image had already collapsed by more than half.

Zhou Jinan quietly leaned over and whispered:

"Just now..."

Zhou Jinan paused, looking sneakily at Pei Yan's lower back, "Did someone really poke him?"

Lu Cheng also lowered his voice.

"You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask?"

Zhou Jinan looked at him with an "I don't believe a word of that" expression.

Lu Cheng really didn't know what the situation was...

For the next period of time, the cabin was much quieter.

Pei Yan kept his face dark, occasionally glaring in Lu Cheng's direction.

Lu Cheng leaned back in his chair, sitting lazily, occasionally chatting with Zhou Jinan, not taking this matter to heart at all.

The airship moved forward steadily.

The low hum of the engines constantly echoed outside the cabin walls, and slight vibrations came from the floor beneath their feet—rhythmic, dull, making one even feel a bit sleepy after staying for a long time.

Suddenly, a chaotic metallic sound interrupted Lu Cheng's drowsiness...

Su Wan, who was beside him, also opened her eyes at the same time, her expression slightly cold.

"You felt it too?" Lu Cheng asked in a low voice.

Su Wan gave a hum, her gaze sweeping toward the front cabin.

"Something is happening outside."

Almost at the same time her voice fell, the expressions of the soldiers scattered throughout the cabin all changed.

Some quickly pressed the communicators at their ears, while others walked quickly toward the cabin door...

In the end, they all left the lounge...

Although the students hadn't figured out what had happened yet, seeing the military personnel so nervous, their hearts also sank violently.

At the entrance, that burly man in the War General Realm had already walked in with large strides, his face looking frighteningly dark.

"Everyone, stay in your seats, no moving around!"

"Repeat, do not leave your seats!"

His voice had just fallen.

The entire airship shuddered violently!

Boom!

Many people's bodies swayed along with it, and the seat restraint belts automatically popped out, clicking as they buckled around everyone's waists.

The lights on the cabin ceiling flickered twice.

The red warning lights lit up again.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The shrill alarm sounded again throughout the entire cabin.

There was another violent shaking.

A dull, loud noise even came from outside the cabin walls, the sound of metal friction making one's scalp tingle, as if something had slammed hard into the airship's hull.

Some students' faces turned pale.

"Enemy attack?"

"How could it be..."

No one knew what had happened, and from their position, they couldn't see the scene outside the window...

The front cabin was already in complete chaos, with communication sounds, footsteps, and the sound of metal colliding mixing together, making people's chests tighten.

That burly man in the War General Realm stared fixedly at the cabin door direction, and after giving instructions, he immediately rushed out.

It was briefly quiet outside for a while...

About ten minutes or so passed again!

Bang!!!

The cabin door was kicked open from the outside!

The heavy alloy door panel slammed hard against the wall, making a loud noise.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time.

A soldier covered in blood was thrown directly inside, rolling on the ground a few times before finally slamming heavily against the edge of the aisle, dragging out a glaring trail of blood.

His chest had collapsed in one spot, his military uniform was tattered, and blood was still pouring from his mouth; he was clearly critically injured.

The cabin instantly exploded in chaos.

"Military personnel?!"

"Who did this?!"

"What on earth is outside..."

Before the words were finished, six figures had already walked in through the door.

All were wearing black combat uniforms.

Their masks were half-concealed.

On their chests, there was a twisted and eerie Black Seed mark.

The aura on them was not restrained at all; heavy, cold, and carrying the smell of blood, it made the entire cabin sink.

Six people.

They were actually all in the Hua Hai Realm!

After Zhou Jinan saw the mark clearly, his face changed instantly, and his voice went dry.

"Black... Seed!"

As soon as these two words came out, the faces of the people nearby all turned white.

"Black Seed?!"

"Cultists?!"

"How could they be here?!"

"It's over..."

Fear, oppression, and unease spread crazily through the air like a tide. Everyone felt as if their hearts had been tightly gripped by something, and even their breathing became tight.

The two words "Black Seed" were almost a shadow among the younger generation of the Federation.

"Black Seed?!!"

The moment Lu Cheng heard these two words, he immediately went into emergency mode!

He didn't even notice that his Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Bad Luck had no reaction at all!

There was not a half-second of hesitation.

Flame Demon Transformation!

Black-red demon flames instantly surged from his body surface, his pupils turned directly into molten gold, flame horns grew out from both sides of his forehead, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

Complete · Dragon Scale Armor!

Golden-white holy light exploded immediately after, scales spreading wildly from his chest, shoulders, arms, and waist, covering his whole body in the blink of an eye, holy patterns flowing, the armor clanging shut!

A massive Radiant Dragon Soul phantom manifested behind him with a boom, its wings spreading out, almost occupying half the space above the cabin!

Black-red demon flames and golden-white holy radiance intertwined on his body simultaneously.

His aura surged instantly!

Lu Cheng didn't give them any time to react at all.

Wasting a second was a threat to the future!

He stomped his foot, the metal plate under his seat shattered with a boom, and he rushed to the very front, carrying the Dragon Soul phantom, his chest heaving, holy light and flame power gathering in his throat simultaneously!

"Holy Dragon Roar!!!"

Roar!!!

A dragon roar that made the cabin walls hum exploded suddenly!

The golden-white sound wave, mixed with scorching dragon flames, transformed into a terrifying shockwave visible to the naked eye, blasting head-on toward the six people at the door!

The air in front twisted in layers.

The seats on both sides of the aisle were blown away by the aftermath!

The moment that roar rushed out, the light almost swallowed the entire cabin door area, the dragon might making people's breathing tighten, and even the ground was shaking.

The six "Black Seed" members opposite them had their eyes turn green.

What the f*ck!

This plot isn't right, is it??
