171: It's over! The principal was blown up to the sky!

Just before Revered One Li was attacked, his brow pricked slightly, sensing an unknown power contained within the Dismemberment Dao Technique. He immediately decided to abandon a direct confrontation!

This kid really has some tricks up his sleeve!

Revered One Li decisively used the Space Folding Dao Technique, directly folding all the space in front of him to form a deflected space!

The beam of the Dismemberment Dao Technique slammed into the deflected space shield. The moment of contact, it wore away the Domain light on the surface, then was immediately transferred upwards by the Space Dao Technique, directly changing direction to strike the ceiling.

The light disappeared.

The ceiling above the training ground also vanished.

Revered One Li swallowed, looking up at the ceiling: "Good heavens, this kid's attack actually pierced through the defensive Formation."

Even though it was a miniature high-grade defensive Formation, its penetration and destructive capabilities were terrifying.

Revered One Li couldn't help but smile proudly again: "Haha, as long as I dodge fast enough, the unlucky one will be the defensive Formation… Huh? Who's that little black dot?"

Revered One Li looked at the sky, discovering a small black dot at the end of the light beam, being struck and flying towards the atmosphere.

It was soaring high into the depths of the sky, its whole body, due to the sudden attack, frantically releasing defensive Spells, emitting strange, colorful lights, like brilliant fireworks.

Revered One Li's expression changed drastically. His Tianji Art activated, and he was completely dumbfounded, clutching his head: "I'm finished!!!"

Finished! The principal was blasted into the sky!

…

Twelve seconds ago.

Professors from the Formation Department, along with relevant personnel, went to their assigned areas to inspect the Formations and took out tools to update and iterate the reinforced runes on them, to improve the training building's efficiency and the Formation's effects.

Principal Liu Lang squatted on the training ground rooftop, holding a Spell brush, his face content and mood joyful as he outlined the reinforced runes in front of him.

Formation studies originated in the East, while reinforced runes were learned from the West. After certain tests, the Fusion of Eastern and Western Formation effects yielded higher efficiency and greater room for enhancement.

Progress, you see, is all about mutual imitation. I learn a bit from you, you learn a bit from me, and then unique sparks of progress ignite.

Xia Dynasty people are very practical; they use whatever works well and do not resist foreign knowledge.

Principal Liu Lang was diligently outlining the reinforced runes and clearing the Formation's patterns, combining the Formation patterns and runes.

"Huh? Why is the Formation lighting up?"

Principal Liu Lang stopped outlining, looking at the glowing Formation patterns and reinforced runes in front of him, utterly bewildered.

A Formation lighting up usually means it's operating at high speed.

In just an instant, the Formation's brightness surged dramatically.

Principal Liu Lang stared blankly at the brightly glowing Formation: "Did I draw the Formation pattern wrong? Or did I mess up the runes?"

No, that's not right. My Formation studies and Rune studies are both at Eight-Order.

How could it be operating at super speed?

Why would it unleash an ultra-limit effect?

Did I short-circuit it?

Impossible, I didn't draw it wrong.

In that instant, Principal Liu Lang, bewildered, finished looking at the brightly glowing Formation in front of him. He checked it several times but couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.

Principal Liu Lang even suspected he had drawn it incorrectly, never suspecting an issue downstairs.

The next instant, the Formation cracked open, and a terrifying disintegration beam shot out, directly hitting Principal Liu Lang's face.

"Holy cow!!!"

In a total of three instants, Principal Liu Lang was blasted in the face by the super beam of the Dismemberment Dao Technique, continuously exploding and soaring into the sky.

How could an old scholar have endured such hardship? He could only desperately cast defensive Spells to resist the disintegration beam. The Talismanic Incantations on his body activated, Spell scrolls activated, and strange, colorful lights burst forth in front of his face, desperately resisting the disintegration beam that was only five centimeters from his face.

So dishonorable! Attacking an old comrade like me, over a thousand years old, by sneak attack!

The incident was sudden and caught him completely off guard.

Principal Liu Lang, in an extremely disheveled state, continuously neutralized the disintegration beam, being bombarded all the way into the depths of the sky, traversing the atmosphere, and piercing through many clouds.

It took a lot of effort, but Principal Liu Lang finally managed to steadily resolve the disintegration beam, which contained a strange penetrating power, without damaging his face.

This disintegration beam was extremely peculiar; it could actually penetrate multiple layers of defense. If he hadn't deployed enough defensive Spells, his face would have been injured.

If he had taken it head-on, the strange power contained within this disintegration beam would definitely have injured him.

Even if it wasn't much, at most it would be a graze.

Principal Liu Lang stood bewildered at a high altitude in the sky, his mind recalling for a moment, and finally remembered that he was above Li Nezha's training ground. He was most likely affected by Li Nezha's Dao Technique demonstration.

Principal Liu Lang was so angry he cursed: "I hate bratty kids the most in my life!"

…

Li Nezha stood in the training ground, clutching his head, looking at the gaping hole with a desperate expression.

Tang Gao, with a slight regret, disengaged his Fusion: "As expected of an Eight-Order Great Power, it didn't even injure him a bit."

Teacher was actually able to quickly divert the attack beam, truly amazing.

It seems I must spend time mastering the Dismemberment Dao Technique.

Tang Gao saw his teacher's desperate expression and let out a light 'eh': "Teacher, what's wrong? Is this compensation very troublesome?"

Li Nezha was on the verge of tears: "Compensating for this isn't troublesome, compensating the person is more troublesome."

As long as I dodge fast enough,

the unlucky one will be the principal.

I should have just taken it myself.

The professors stared in dumbfounded shock at the figure deeper in the sky. Their school's principal was standing angrily in the depths of the sky, glaring over.

The students were bewildered, not understanding why Revered One Li was desperate or why the professors were shocked.

A roar echoed in the sky:

"Li Nezha! Can't you be more careful when you strike!!! My Formation that I just outlined!!!"

Principal Liu Lang rapidly descended from the sky, crashing into the training ground, bringing down a strong gust of wind that made the training ground rattle.

Principal Liu Lang looked at Li Nezha angrily: "When will you learn to be more stable? Why do you always test powerful Spells in the school without thinking?

Is this how you teach your disciples?"

This is a training ground, not a nuclear blast site.

Tang Gao was completely stunned, only then realizing that the attack had hit an unfortunate person.

An unfortunate person who was checking the Formation on the rooftop to improve its effects.

The school's principal, Liu Lang.

Li Nezha didn't hesitate at all, directly pointing at Tang Gao: "It's not my fault! He insisted on using the Dismemberment Dao Technique!"

Selling out his disciple, with no psychological pressure whatsoever.

Tang Gao was utterly shocked, looking at him in disbelief: "Teacher! You clearly told me to use my full power! You said you wanted to test my understanding of the Dismemberment Dao Technique!"

The professors collectively slapped their foreheads, sensing the long-lost yet familiar morally bankrupt actions of Li Venerable Gou Dan.

The students were dumbfounded, completely unprepared for a dignified Zunzhe to be so shameless!

Principal Liu Lang frowned, sensing that Tang Gao was telling the truth: "Did you strike it?"

Tang Gao's eyes widened: "I struck it, but you can't blame me! Teacher insisted on deflecting the Dismemberment beam upwards!"

Principal Liu Lang took a deep breath, glaring at Li Nezha: "Li… Huh? Where is he?

Oh… Is that how Wind Fire Wheels are used?"

Without anyone noticing, Revered One Li used his Wind Fire Wheels to escape at light speed, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Tang Gao stood awkwardly in place, strongly disapproving of his teacher's action of running away without taking him along.

You run away, fine! Why didn't you take me!

Principal Liu Lang sighed, accepting his bad luck, knowing it was an accident: "Alright, alright, everyone disperse. I'll notify the Formation Department to come and repair the Formation. The twelfth floor will be closed for a day.

Tang Gao, come with me for a moment."

Principal Liu Lang put his hands behind his back and walked towards the elevator.

Tang Gao followed behind the principal with a bitter expression: "Principal, I don't have money to compensate. You'll have to ask Teacher for compensation."

Principal Liu Lang said helplessly: "How could I blame you? I just want to understand the situation. Alright, stop overthinking it. I'll take you to the medical department to get a check-up first.

The Dismemberment Dao Technique has a certain degree of danger; don't leave any hidden problems."

Originally, Li Nezha should have been responsible for this matter.

Now Li Nezha had run away.

He could only handle it himself.

Blaming a child, Liu Lang felt he wasn't that unreasonable yet.

In a corner unseen by others, the secretly invisible Li Nezha quietly followed along.

-----

If I promise three chapters as a minimum, then it will absolutely be three chapters.

Actually, these three chapters of mine are very good value; combined, they're definitely close to eight thousand characters.

If it were someone else, wouldn't they split it into four chapters for you?

It's really not short, little brothers.

So, give some praise and gifts, please.

I'll continue writing… Not necessarily publishing tonight, don't wait.
