53: So Jiang Ruolai was led astray! The prodigies of Great Xia...

Looking at the other's instantly pale, fear-filled face, Shen Pan slowly took out his phone.

This was the Great Xia's most classic forbidden Move: a Mythical Grade skill—labeling someone!

Regardless of who you are, just slap the charge of being a human traitor colluding with alien races on them. Even a direct descendant of a Clan would have to shed a few layers of skin!

"It just so happens that I know people from the Special Affairs Bureau. It seems necessary to conduct a spot check on your background. For example, the posts on all your social media accounts, as well as your browsing history!"

Fighting and killing is too uncivilized; let's reason instead. With a smile on his face, Shen Pan said words that made Fan Jianqiang dizzy and almost pee his pants on the spot.

Doxing. It has always been the ultimate measure that should not be used lightly! Especially a male's browsing history!

With a "Clang!" sound, all of Fan Jianqiang's spirit vanished. He knelt down in public and cried out miserably:

"Senior, I was wrong! I was just habitually running my mouth earlier!"

"I never thought about insulting the Martial Saints. I was just purely targeting that first-Realm Martial Artist!"

"I did not collude with alien races, nor did I spread negative remarks online!"

Seeing that Shen Pan ignored him and even actually connected a call, under the pressure of social death, Fan Jianqiang could no longer hold back and cried out:

"I'm only 16 years old, dropped out of high school, and have no brain!"

"Senior, please let me go! I don't want to be taken away by the Special Affairs Bureau to have my browsing history checked!"

If his records were made public, then his life would be over, right?

"Mm, I'm here at the front gate. No, everyone is very friendly. Okay, see you in a bit!"

Hanging up the call from Jiang Ruolai, Shen Pan looked strangely at the dazed, tear-streaked 16-year-old punk kneeling on the ground.

"Are you not feeling well? Why did you suddenly kneel?"

"...No, I just accidentally tripped earlier. Senior, please go ahead with your business!"

Fan Jianqiang slid onto his knees very tactfully.

He possessed the ability to perceive the strength of another's Soul through eye contact. Of course, the other person's Realm could not exceed his by too much.

And this slightly familiar-looking youth, whom he had forgotten where he had seen before, already had a Soul strength comparable to the fifth Realm!!! Clearly, the other party was a senior student of the Imperial Capital Academy!

Even without the threat of doxing, he would be helpless against the other party.

Fan Jianqiang got up dejectedly and had just bent over to sneak into the Imperial Capital Academy when a demonic whisper rang in his ear.

"What about the apology? You bullied a Classmate, shouldn't you apologize?"

Fan Jianqiang's expression stiffened, and he walked over somewhat reluctantly. He said to the unlucky guy who was also terrified:

"Sorry, Classmate. I shouldn't have said Martial Artists are trash. Uh, even though you are only at the first Realm and your strength seems like you're just here to make up the numbers, you're already doing great."

Blushing, Fan Jianqiang forced an ugly smile: "At least you recognize your own level; you can surrender early in a moment!"

This high-EQ, Yin and Yang apology made even Shen Pan cast a look of surprise. Did you really drop out of high school, or were you forced to withdraw because you pissed off the principal and teachers?

"Wuu wuu~ I am trash, I am garbage, I have no strength! Waaa—"

Very good, that Classmate with maxed-out martial arts talent was crying even harder than before.

"Shut up!" A roar came from the air. "He's right, you really have brought shame to Martial Artists."

A youth with a buzz cut, wearing a white training uniform, walked out from who knows where. He looked with disgust at the boy who didn't even dare to refute him.

"Martial Artists can be defeated, can be mocked, but they absolutely cannot deny themselves!"

"When you believe that the martial arts system is inferior to other Systems, your martial arts heart has already died."

"You will never be able to become a Martial Saint in your life!"

Feeling the chuunibyou index in the air rising, Shen Pan blinked. The martial arts system's upper limit is inherently inferior to other Systems, isn't it?

"However!" The buzz-cut youth's eyes flashed with fierce light, staring at the frozen Fan Jianqiang. "This is not a reason for you to slander us Martial Artists!"

"I am Wu Ji. The honor of Martial Artists will be retrieved by my own hands!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!" A round of applause came. "Even I have to agree with you this time, little Wu!"

"Saying our Professional System is inferior?" "Let's spar at noon, the two of us?"

A youth with a very lean build but eyes that were incredibly bright also walked out from a corner. The sight made Shen Pan's face darken.

Each and every one of them carrying stealth-type items, hiding on the side to watch the show, right! If these people hadn't come out on their own, he really wouldn't have noticed them!

For the first time, Shen Pan felt the cruelty and sinister nature of the Imperial Capital. This bunch of old sixes. Before he taught that Fan Jianqiang a lesson, not a single one of them said a word! They are all voyeurs!

So Jiang Ruolai's habit of stalking was corrupted by the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital!

"No, no! I was talking about the new system, the new system is a stray dog!"

At this moment, Fan Jianqiang, recognizing the two big shots, was already sweating profusely. Offending one fifth-Realm senior was one thing. Now he had simultaneously offended two direct descendants of Clans. Damn this mouth of his! He would never run his mouth casually again!

"Heh!" The youth ignored the wails of the weak. He turned to Shen Pan and gave a thumbs up: "You must be the Shen Pan who dares to hang out with that person from the Jiang Family, right? Just for this courage and audacity of yours, I acknowledge you!"

Shen Pan narrowed his eyes slightly. His internal rating for the direct descendants of the Imperial Capital Clans dropped once again. Too petty!

Isn't it just that Jiang Ruolai occasionally goes crazy and accidentally injures some Classmates? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? After this period of time, he feels she is very easy to get along with!

"What???" "You are Shen Pan? You are also a freshman this year!?"

Reacting, Fan Jianqiang let out a strange scream. His voice even cracked. He was as helpless and shocked as Mortals seeing a Qing Dynasty soldier for the first time. Seeing the intensely oppressive gaze swept over by Shen Pan, Fan Jianqiang immediately squatted to the side, playing the part of a stray dog.

It was actually Shen Pan! "What kind of freshman has a Soul strength comparable to the fifth Realm upon admission!" "Too scary, who exactly is the new system!"

He suddenly discovered that he didn't like the thrill of combat that much anymore.

Shen Pan looked at the second old six: "Who are you?"

Facing Shen Pan's slightly disdainful and scrutinizing gaze, the youth didn't care at all, revealing a sunny, brilliant smile: "I am Qin Hao, Legendary-rank Profession 【Sun Holy King】. Little Wu is Legendary-rank Profession 【Holy Martial Emperor】, and he also dual-cultivates the martial arts system!"

"There is also one Legendary-rank Profession from the military who hasn't arrived yet. However... he will definitely admire you especially!"

Shen Pan didn't pay attention to the other's teasing, silently calculating: "One from the military, plus Jiang Ruolai and Ruan Qingshu, counting me, that makes exactly six people."

These were the six top Prodigies of this year's Great Xia Professional System. One Prodigy of the pure martial arts system. Then, there were a full thirteen Prodigies of the new system! This ratio was too scary!

Just then, his teammates arrived. "Classmate Shen Pan~ Good morning!" Jiang Ruolai, with the expressionless Ruan Qingshu, walked quickly toward this side.

With his keen perception, Shen Pan inexplicably discovered that whether it was Wu Ji, or the familiar-acting Qin Hao, all of their expressions changed, and they tacitly took a step back. They didn't dare to block Jiang Ruolai's path!

What's wrong with this? Shen Pan was a bit confused; do people in the Imperial Capital like ugly-looking people?

When the two naturally walked to Shen Pan's side and began to whisper, the System's prompt sounded.

【Hidden Task: Gain the attention and appreciation of five councilors (Currently 3 completed)!】

Shen Pan: "???" How did this progress bar increase on its own!
