138: Chapter 138 The Show of Force from Xuanhe Martial Arts University
"Oh, isn't this that group of hothouse flowers from Xuanyuan University?"
This harsh voice, filled with arrogance and disdain, exploded across the noisy spaceport, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The faces of everyone in the Xuanyuan University representative team darkened in unison.
They looked toward the source of the voice and saw another even more massive warship nearby, its hull emblazoned with a ferocious black dragon emblem. Standing beside it was a group of Students who were equally young, but their auras were far more domineering and aggressive.
Leading them was a burly man over two meters tall, built like an iron tower, with a clean-shaven, shiny bald head.
He wore a specialized black combat suit from Xuanhe Martial Arts University. His bronze skin was covered in crisscrossing scars, exuding a sense of wild, raw power.
He stood with his arms crossed over his chest, a playful sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth as he scrutinized the Xuanyuan University group with the gaze of a predator looking at prey.
"Long Aotian! Watch your damn mouth!"
In the Xuanyuan University team, the hot-tempered Earth-type ability user Shi Lei couldn't hold back. He pointed at the bald giant and cursed angrily.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
The bald giant named Long Aotian grinned, revealing a row of forest-white teeth. His smile was filled with beast-like pressure.
"I heard that Xuanyuan University produced a remarkable figure this year who snagged an SS-grade contract with only a Peak Third Grade cultivation and was forcibly propped up by the academy as the number one freshman."
His gaze swept back and forth across the Xuanyuan University team, finally landing precisely on Wang Pingan, who stood at the very front of the line with his hands in his pockets and a lazy expression on his face.
"Let me guess, it's you, this Little White Face, right?"
Long Aotian extended a thick finger and pointed at Wang Pingan from a distance, the disdain and contempt on his face almost overflowing.
"You look so fair and delicate, just like a woman. I really don't know if those old fogies at Xuanyuan University are blind to waste resources on trash like you."
"Hahaha!"
The Students from Xuanhe Martial Arts University behind him suddenly erupted into a burst of loud laughter.
The representative teams from other academies nearby also cast glances over, waiting to see the show.
As the two top institutions in the Human Federation's Xuan Yuan Galaxy System, Xuanyuan University and Xuanhe Martial Arts University had always been rivals who avoided meeting, and their competitive relationship was exceptionally fierce.
Now that the geniuses from both sides had clashed the moment they met, there was clearly a good show to watch.
"You're looking for death!"
Shi Lei was trembling with rage. Thick earth energy began to gather around him, and the ground beneath his feet vibrated slightly. He was about to rush forward and start a fight right then and there.
"Shi Lei, calm down!"
Lei Qian, standing beside him, quickly pulled him back and shook his head with a grave expression.
He could feel that the aura emanating from the bald giant named Long Aotian was as vast as an abyss, far beyond what he could match.
That was at least... a Fifth Rank Mid-Stage cultivation!
The Students on Xuanyuan University's side all had ugly expressions, angry but afraid to speak out.
They could feel that the overall strength of Xuanhe Martial Arts University was clearly a notch higher than theirs.
Just in terms of Fourth Rank Peaks, the other side had at least a dozen, while their side had fewer than ten even when counting everyone.
Not to mention that Long Aotian, who was radiating a terrifying pressure.
Even on Lin Zhan's eternally frozen, iceberg-like face, a hint of solemnity appeared.
The long spear in his arms let out a slight hum, and a tragic battle intent began to slowly awaken within his body.
Even Qin Wushuang, who had just experienced the great ups and downs of life in the ranking matches, temporarily set aside his resentment toward Wang Pingan. He frowned and looked at the opponent with a look of vigilance.
Although he was arrogant, he could distinguish the occasion.
Now was the time to present a united front against outsiders.
However, Wang Pingan, the focus of everyone's attention, still maintained that calm and indifferent appearance.
He even had the leisure to let out a yawn.
So annoying.
Wang Pingan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Why did he run into these kinds of idiots who thought they were invincible and loved looking for trouble everywhere he went?
Couldn't they just let him be a handsome man in peace?
He lifted his eyelids, glanced lazily at the still-strutting Long Aotian, and then muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
"With a head that bright, it's a pity you're not working as a lightbulb."
"What did you say?!"
Although Long Aotian didn't hear clearly what Wang Pingan said, he understood everything from the other's contemptuous eyes.
He felt that he had been subjected to unprecedented insult!
"Little White Face! Do you fucking dare to say that again!" Long Aotian flew into a rage. A terrifying pressure belonging to a Fifth Rank Mid-Stage powerhouse crushed toward Wang Pingan like a mountain flood!
The faces of the Xuanyuan University group changed instantly!
Under this terrifying pressure, they felt their breathing become difficult, and one by one, they instinctively retreated.
However, just when everyone thought Wang Pingan would be in a wretched state under this pressure.
He moved.
He simply took a gentle step forward.
Just one step.
The moment that terrifying pressure, heavy as a mountain, touched his body, it was like spring snow meeting a scorching sun—it vanished silently without a trace.
As if it had never appeared.
The entire scene instantly fell into a dead silence.
