62: I was terrified! He was the one who killed the assassin?!

The Martial Artist Guild personnel left quickly.

After all, Qin Lang was now a registered Genius and had just shown his face in front of the entire school. No one wanted to offend a rising star at this critical juncture with routine questioning.

What's more, the corpse cut in half at the scene, and the testimony of Luo Fei, the 'tainted witness,' made the case clearer than clear.

"These assassins, their professional skills are getting worse and worse."

Qin Lang put away his phone and stroked Little White in his arms.

Fei Changqing was screaming angrily on the phone, a sound that could be heard two meters away.

The old man vowed to dig out all his treasured protective items and arm his precious disciple to the teeth.

Qin Lang hung up the phone and walked towards Olympus Academy.

The security guards at the school gate looked at him with a hint of reverence, their backs straightening considerably.

At this moment, the news about "Qin Lang counter-killing a Third Tier expert outside school" had spread like wildfire to every corner of the campus.

Passing students stopped in their tracks, pointing and whispering when they saw Qin Lang.

"Look! That's Qin Lang!"

"I heard he encountered an assassination outside and directly killed that Third Tier assassin?"

"Really? Killing across major Realms? This is too Xuanhuan!"

Disbelief and exclamations were mixed in the discussions.

On the third floor of the Atlas Pharmacy in the distance.

A graceful figure in a red dress stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, swirling a glass of red wine, her gaze passing through the bustling street and landing on that tall, straight back.

"Interesting."

Meanwhile, the central arena area of Olympus Academy was already packed with people.

Many students who were in seclusion specifically came out for this battle.

Even Shangguan Xue, the most beautiful woman in the capital with the Ice Emperor Gene, appeared at the edge of the crowd.

She wore a white baseball cap today, with the brim pulled low, but her ethereal Aura still drew frequent glances from the surrounding boys.

"They're here! Xiang Kunlun is here too!"

The crowd stirred.

A burly young man, emanating a scorching Aura, strode forward.

It was Xiang Kunlun, the Genius with the Sun God Gene.

He stood in the front row with his arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over He Qiang on the arena, a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

"Although he is Third Tier, his Foundation is unstable. If it were a fight to the death, I could still slay him."

Xiang Kunlun's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of absolute confidence.

The surrounding students secretly gasped.

Is this the confidence of a top Genius?

"However, that Qin Lang guy..."

Xiang Kunlun remembered the Chaos anomaly that had made his heart palpitate earlier, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Dual Mythic Gene, he won't lose so easily."

At the same time, Lei Zhen of the Lei Family and other Geniuses also arrived.

This cross-Realm battle had clearly become the focus of the entire school.

"Why isn't Qin Lang here yet? Is he scared?"

Below the arena, He Ye checked the time and grumbled impatiently.

Although his face was bandaged, his arrogant demeanor hadn't diminished in the slightest.

"Scared? I think he wet himself!"

Feng Rui echoed from beside him, but his gaze was somewhat evasive.

Qin Lang had created too many miracles in the past, leaving an lingering sense of unease in his heart.

Just then.

"Big news! Big news!"

A boy rushed into the crowd, out of breath, holding his phone up.

"Qin Lang just counter-killed an assassin sent by the Dark Web outside school!"

"And that assassin was a Third Tier expert!"

Boom—!

These words were like a bombshell, instantly detonating in the crowd.

The scene erupted in an uproar.

"Holy crap! Is that true?"

"Killing a Third Tier across Ranks? Even novels wouldn't dare to write this!"

"Where's the video? Is there a video?"

He Ye's face changed below the arena, and he immediately reprimanded loudly.

"Nonsense! Absolutely false news!"

"How could a freshman like him kill a Third Tier? With his mouth?"

"This must be a smoke bomb released by Qin Lang to scare my cousin!"

However.

He Qiang, standing on the arena, froze the moment he heard the news.

His originally sharp Aura, like a punctured balloon, instantly deflated completely.

His face turned pale in an instant, and the hand gripping his greatsword trembled slightly.

Others didn't know, but he did!

The He Family's bounty on the Dark Web was a Family secret. Collateral members like He Ye didn't know, but as a core member, he was privy to it!

That 'Night Owl' was a notorious ruthless character on the Dark Web, a genuine Third-Tier Peak!

Even such a ruthless person fell into Qin Lang's hands?

He Qiang felt his legs go weak, almost unable to stand firm.

His challenge to Qin Lang this time was originally at the Family Head's command, to cooperate with the Dark Web assassin's operation.

The original plan was to continuously humiliate and pressure Qin Lang to force him out of the academy, creating an opportunity for the assassin.

But now... the assassin is dead?

How strong must Qin Lang be?

Wouldn't his 'watered-down' Third Tier, forcibly accumulated with medicine, be like serving himself up to Qin Lang?

"This... what's the point of fighting now!"

He Qiang's throat was dry, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

He even felt the urge to jump off the arena and run away.

Just as he was flustered and on the verge of collapsing on the spot.

Someone below the stage suddenly analyzed loudly.

"That's not right! No matter how strong Qin Lang is, he couldn't possibly confront a Third Tier assassin head-on, could he?"

"The only explanation is that he used a life-saving trump card!"

"Don't forget who his mentor is! It's Fei Changqing!"

"If Elder Fei just leaked a few high-grade energy talismans or combat elixirs, killing a Third Tier assassin would be easy, wouldn't it?"

This explanation immediately gained the approval of most people.

"Right, right! He must have used external items!"

"I knew it, how could he kill someone across major Realms with pure strength!"

When He Qiang on the arena heard this, his heart, which had been in his throat, suddenly dropped back into place.

"Phew..."

He let out a long breath, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

That's right!

He must have used a life-saving trump card given by his mentor!

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense!

Thinking of this, He Qiang's back instantly stiffened again.

Arena competitions have strict rules.

It is forbidden to use any energy talismans, combat elixirs, or other single-use consumables!

One can only fight with true skill!

Since Qin Lang's biggest reliance was forbidden, what was there to be afraid of?

"Hmph, so he relied on treasures given by his teacher."

He Qiang re-gripped the greatsword in his hand, the fear on his face dissipating, replaced by a sinister smile.

"Under the rules' restrictions, let's see how you can still cause trouble!"

"Today, I will definitely win these 100,000 biological energy!"

He took a deep breath, and the Primal Energy within him began to circulate again, emitting a rumbling sound.

"Qin Lang!"

He Qiang stood in the center of the arena, his Qi sinking into his Dantian, and let out a furious roar.

"You coward! Hurry up and come up here to die!"
