45: S-rank combat talent!

Inside the basketball gym of Jiangnan No. 2 High School.

Su Yan's words...

...immediately caused another massive uproar.

The scene was filled with noise, and everyone was shocked beyond measure.

This was too ridiculous.

Not only did Su Yan defeat Jiang Hao, but he even killed him!

But Su Yan clearly has a useless Talent!

How could he suddenly become so strong!

At this moment, to prevent the situation from escalating further,

various school leaders entered the arena and quickly pulled Su Yan and Jiang Yao apart.

Staring at his younger brother's corpse lying in a pool of blood,

Jiang Yao struggled violently and roared,

"Bullshit! You call this a slip of the hand?"

Su Yan didn't care at all and retorted sharply, "So what if I slipped? What are you going to do about it?"

Teacher Wang groaned inwardly and scolded in a low voice, "Su Yan, say less!"

He then turned to Jiang Yao and said sternly,

"You can't blame Su Yan for this. Jiang Hao made the first lethal move; everyone saw it. Su Yan's actions can only be considered self-defense at most."

Jiang Yao glared viciously at Teacher Wang, veins bulging on his cheeks.

"Fuck off! I suggest you think carefully before you speak! Do you know the consequences of offending the Jiang Family?"

Teacher Wang showed fear upon hearing this, but he soon straightened his back resolutely.

"So what? I only stand on the side of justice! Today I say Su Yan acted in self-defense, and that won't change no matter who comes!"

The homeroom teacher of class five, who was also Jiang Hao's homeroom teacher, scolded sharply,

"Teacher Wang, how can you be so biased toward a student? Even if Jiang Hao attacked first, did he actually cause any harm to Su Yan?"

"Are you saying Su Yan had to take a punch from Jiang Hao before he was allowed to fight back?"

"You're just using sophistry!"

The scene became extremely chaotic.

It was completely out of control.

"Everyone, shut up!"

The Old Principal was the only one on the field who remained clear-headed.

He immediately gathered his strength and let out a loud shout that silenced the basketball gym.

"Principal, my brother was killed by a student from your school."

"You must give me an explanation today! And an explanation to the Jiang Family!"

Jiang Yao's eyes were bloodshot. If the school leaders hadn't been holding him back firmly, he would have torn Su Yan into ten thousand pieces right then and there.

The Old Principal felt fearful and hurried to nod. "Rest assured, that is only natural."

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Yan, his old eyes full of doubt.

"Su Yan, what was that Ice Element you used just now?"

The Old Principal still had a deep impression of Su Yan.

On the day of the Talent Awakening, Su Yan had awakened an S-Rank useless Talent,

which almost made him the happiest principal in Jiangnan City.

So now the question arose.

Su Yan clearly awakened a useless Talent, so where did that Ice Element come from?

The Old Principal's question...

...immediately made everyone present realize the same thing.

Yeah, what was the deal with that Ice Element?

Right then.

Facing countless curious gazes, Su Yan answered calmly, "Principal, the Ice Element just now is my Talent."

The Old Principal was shocked. "But didn't you awaken an S-Rank useless Talent?"

Su Yan smiled slightly. "That's true, but I awakened once more later on."

"Awakened once more?"

"Yes. I went to observe the sword seal left by the Demon Slayer in the Wolf King Valley Dungeon, and I was lucky enough to obtain the chance for a second Awakening."

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken...

...the gym erupted in an uproar again.

No one expected that Su Yan had actually gone to observe the dungeon sword seal!

And he even obtained a second Awakening!

The Old Principal looked excited and asked, "Your Rank is still very low. Who took you there?"

Now that things had developed to this point,

Su Yan didn't plan to pretend anymore. He chose to show his cards and directly reveal his identity.

"You've all heard of Xiao Panxue, right?"

However, that was only one of his many identities... "Hiss, Xiao Panxue?!"

"The one who awakened an S-rank Combat Talent last year, the provincial top scholar of the National College Entrance Examination, the favored daughter of heaven who is currently studying at Imperial Capital University under a War God Mentor, Xiao Panxue?"

"Su Yan, what exactly is your relationship with Xiao Panxue?"

In an instant!

As expected, an overwhelming wave of praise and doubt followed.

But only Jiang Yao's face was ashen.

Seeing Jiang Yao's miserable expression, Su Yan felt a surge of satisfaction. Without thinking, he decided to deal the man another critical blow.

He said nonchalantly, "Xiao Panxue? She's my girlfriend!"

Boom!

The basketball gym exploded immediately.

A wild wave of discussion roared to life.

In the front row of class three, Tang Xia's face turned completely pale with shock.

She stood frozen on the spot, at a loss for words.

Xiao Panxue was actually Su Yan's girlfriend?

In the arena.

The school leaders had considered many possible relationships, but none had imagined anything as outrageous as them being boyfriend and girlfriend.

The Old Principal and the others were in a daze for a while.

After a long time.

The Old Principal nodded with delight:

"Good, very good! Being able to win over a favored daughter of heaven like Xiao Panxue is enough to prove your capability. You truly are the school hunk of my No. 2 High School!"

"Su Yan, well done!"

The situation was now very clear.

It was obvious that Su Yan had his girlfriend, Xiao Panxue, take him through the Wolf King Valley Dungeon to observe the sword seal.

The students in the gym were so envious that they were practically drooling.

From this day on, they were willing to call Su Yan the King of Soft Rice!

And hearing the Old Principal's insensitive words,

Jiang Yao almost spat blood. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Su Yan, no matter what Talent you awakened in your second Awakening, I won't let you off! The Jiang Family won't let you off!"

Regarding Jiang Yao,

Su Yan naturally had no intention of letting him go either.

However, with the Demon God's Prying Eyes hanging over his head, he couldn't reveal his identity as the Demon Slayer yet.

But that wouldn't stop him. At worst, he would just wait for him after school.

If I don't kill Jiang Yao, am I supposed to wait for him to kill me?

Su Yan sneered and said arrogantly, "Are you sure?"

"I am absolutely certain!"

Su Yan said loudly,

"Fine! Listen up, I've had a second Awakening and gained the S-Rank Talent, Frost Fury! Come on then, if you have the guts, come and kill me!"

As soon as these words left his mouth,

the scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

"Hiss!"

Then came the sound of everyone sucking in their breath.

Jiang Yao laughed mockingly. "Get lost! A piece of trash like you is worthy of Awakening an S-rank Combat Talent?"

To make someone perish, one must first make them mad.

"You don't believe me?"

Su Yan held his palm upward and gathered a bit of power.

Immediately, frost surged in his palm, and the Ice Element grew wildly.

In just a brief moment, the Ice Element in his palm had condensed to about a meter long, resembling a longsword glowing with the light of ice and snow.

This time...

...the sound of gasping echoed through the basketball gym again.

Except this time,

Jiang Yao also gasped along with them.

There was no mistake!

To be able to condense the Ice Element to such intensity, it was undoubtedly an S-Rank Talent!

At this very moment.

All the school leaders of No. 2 High School were wild with joy.

The Old Principal was overcome with excitement. This time, he could finally raise his hands high and cheer to his heart's content:

"Great! This is just great! My No. 2 High School has finally produced an S-Rank Talent!"

"Heaven has not failed my No. 2 High School! Heaven has not failed my No. 2 High School!"

The cheers from the crowd were like a thunderous rainstorm,

yet Jiang Yao stood in the center of the arena with a deathly pale face... according to the regulations of the Demon Slaying Institute.

Anyone who awakens an S-rank Combat Talent or higher enjoys the highest level of protection.

If an S-Rank Talent holder is killed, the murderer and their entire Family will be purged!

To put it simply,

geniuses with S-Rank Talents are not to be messed with.

Once, a super-large Family in the Imperial Capital, due to a private grudge, sent dozens of experts to kill an S-Rank Talent Genius.

The Demon Slaying Institute was furious and solved the case within 24 hours. Subsequently, the entire Family was wiped out.

If even a super-large Family in the Imperial Capital was treated like that,

how could a mere Jiang Family in a small city like Jiangnan dare to violate the majesty of the Demon Slaying Institute?

Inside the joyous basketball gym,

the Old Principal patted Jiang Yao's shoulder and said earnestly:

"Jiang Yao, I know you're a rational and good child. You should know the consequences of offending an S-Rank Genius, right?"

After saying this,

the smile at the corner of the Old Principal's eyes could no longer be suppressed. He stepped forward and took Su Yan's hand, liking him more the more he looked at him.

"Quick, go set off firecrackers! Money is no object, keep them going until tonight!"

"I want everyone in Jiangnan City to know that our No. 2 High School has produced a super Genius with an S-rank Combat Talent!"

The Vice Principal asked in a low voice, "Um, Principal, what should we do with Jiang Hao's body?"

"Huh? There's still a body?"

"What else can we do? Send the body to the Jiang Family and tell them to restrain their grief!"

Now that the school had an S-Rank Genius, the Old Principal's words had become much more assertive.
