75: Chapter 75 You're Doomed in This Martial Arts Competition

And at this moment, the commoner goddess Tang Xiaowu, famous throughout the academy,

Was being held tightly by the small hand by that notorious Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

Feeling the shocked and heartbroken gazes instantly converging from all around,

She was being stared at by everyone in the academy like a monkey in a show.

Especially with Chen Shanzhi holding her hand so tightly in front of such a large crowd.

Tang Xiaowu's pretty face flushed red all the way to the tips of her ears.

"You... let go quickly..."

Tang Xiaowu lowered her head and whimpered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

She quietly used force, trying to shake off Chen Shanzhi's large hand, which was like an iron pincer.

However, Chen Shanzhi's hand was like it was cast in iron.

Not only did it not budge, but his thumb slid, extremely skillfully squeezing into the gaps between her fingers, locking them in an incredibly intimate ten-finger clasp!

Not only that, Chen Shanzhi also maliciously and gently scratched the center of her soft, boneless palm.

"Ah..."

Tang Xiaowu's body trembled violently, as if struck by an electric shock, and half of her body went numb.

She was currently just a weak girl of the Xuanguan Seven Apertures; how could she possibly break free?

With her struggles proving fruitless, Tang Xiaowu could only lower her head in resignation.

Like a mistreated little wife, she allowed Chen Shanzhi to lead her, following closely behind him step by step.

Watching this scene, the hearts of the academy students all around shattered into pieces.

"Holy crap! Is that Tang Xiaowu?!"

"How is this possible? Isn't Goddess Tang famous for being pure and never showing anyone a kind face?"

"Did the Heir Apparent use force? It doesn't look like it! Look at Goddess Tang's shy appearance; she's clearly being handled completely!"

Ignoring the dropped jaws all around,

Chen Shanzhi led Tang Xiaowu and swaggered over to the registration desk of the Heaven Class.

The two academy instructors responsible for registration also had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Their eyes swept back and forth between Chen Shanzhi and Tang Xiaowu's clasped hands.

Chen Shanzhi directly ignored their shock, a casual smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he spoke very quickly:

"Greetings, instructors."

"Student Chen Shanzhi has brought my bed-sharing friend to report here."

"This is my Waist Token."

With a "thud,"

A Waist Token representing the academy student Chen Shanzhi was casually tossed onto the table by him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding students who were eavesdropping were somewhat confused—a friend is a friend.

Why did he have to add 'classmate'?

Truly bizarre.

Tang Xiaowu, however, heard the impropriety in his words.

Her face was filled with shame and indignation, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Chen Shanzhi, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, turning his head slightly and leaning his oppressive body slightly closer to her.

Then he squeezed her soft, boneless little hand hard and laughed softly:

"Xiaowu, where is your Waist Token?"

Hearing that deep voice and feeling the hot breath on her face,

Tang Xiaowu looked up at the nearby Chen Shanzhi, her mind a complete jumble.

She was terrified that this shameless fellow would actually dare to lower his head and forcibly kiss her in front of these hundreds of people.

"Ah... oh!"

Tang Xiaowu hurriedly nodded in confusion, frantically using her other free hand to pull her Waist Token from her waist and handed it over as if escaping for her life.

Watching the two of them flirting, the corners of the two registration officers' mouths twitched wildly.

But they couldn't afford to offend this great deity.

They hurriedly took the two people's Waist Tokens with both hands and placed them separately on the table on two small circular plates carved with complex array patterns.

"Hum——"

As soon as the Waist Tokens were placed, they emitted a burst of gentle white light, which quickly injected into the circular plates.

Immediately after, two names flickering with golden light appeared out of thin air above the circular plates.

[Chen Shanzhi, Heaven Class]

[Tang Xiaowu, Heaven Class]

"Ahem..."

One of the slightly older registration officers coughed twice.

He handed the Waist Tokens back to the two of them and said as a matter of routine according to the rules:

"Heir Apparent, Miss Xiaowu, the registration is complete."

"After entering the academy, please go directly to the central Martial Arts Arena."

"The academy will hold an opening ceremony in two hours.

At that time, the Academy Head will personally announce the first stage's martial arts competition list and the enrollment expansion rules."

Chen Shanzhi casually took the Waist Token and hung it at his waist, nodding with satisfaction: "Thank you, instructors."

Then he prepared to lead Tang Xiaowu, who was lowering her head and pretending to be an ostrich, into the academy.

Just then.

A sudden commotion came from the crowd behind them.

A burst of deliberately suppressed clamor and the sound of gasping for air spread through the crowd.

The originally crowded students quickly retreated to both sides as if split by an invisible blade.

At the same time, a faint but extremely icy, bone-chilling Killing Intent slowly approached from behind Chen Shanzhi.

Chen Shanzhi's footsteps paused, and his eyebrows rose slightly.

He turned around and looked toward the source of the clamor.

He saw that at the end of the path the crowd had automatically cleared,

Tang Liu, with a face as dark as water and an icy aura that warned others not to approach, was walking over step by step.

Seeing Tang Liu appear, the surrounding students were instantly excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

They immediately put their heads together and began to discuss in lowered voices.

"Look! It's Tang Liu!"

"Now there's going to be a good show. Who doesn't know that Tang Liu protects Tang Xiaowu like she's the apple of his eye?"

"What's the use of protecting her! Look at who Tang Xiaowu is with now? That's the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Zhenguo!"

"Sigh, how pitiful. I used to be so envious that he had a Heavenly Immortal-like adopted sister, but now I sympathize with the color on his head."

"The victim meeting the homewrecker, they're probably going to fight..."

Hearing those undisguised taunts and sympathy from all around,

Tang Liu's cheek muscles twitched violently several times.

Inside his sleeves, his fists were clenched tightly.

Because of the excessive force, his knuckles had turned white, and his bones made a faint "crackling" sound.

He walked quickly to the registration desk, acting as if he hadn't seen Chen Shanzhi and Tang Xiaowu in front of him at all.

Only at the moment they brushed past each other,

Those bloodshot eyes coldly glanced at the hands of the two people tightly held together.

At that moment, the icy True Essence inside Tang Liu almost went out of control on the spot!

Kill him! Kill him right here!

This thought roared madly in his mind.

But in the end, reason still took the upper hand.

This was the entrance of Four Seas Academy. If he made a move here, not only would he be unable to kill Chen Shanzhi, but he would also be suppressed on the spot by the academy's law enforcement team.

Endure!

When they reached the martial arts stage, he could legitimately crush this dandy's head!

Tang Liu abruptly retracted his gaze and strode to the two registration officers who were already staring blankly.

He slapped his Waist Token onto the table with a "thwack" and coldly spat out two words:

"Register."

The two instructors, who had originally thought a bloody battle would break out and were preparing to watch the drama, were jolted back to their senses by this cold voice.

They hurriedly and clumsily processed the registration for him.

"After entering the academy, go to the Martial Arts Arena. In two hours..." the instructor subconsciously repeated the process.

"I know."

Tang Liu didn't say another word of nonsense, took his Waist Token, and walked into the academy's main gate without looking back.

His back appeared extremely proud, lonely, and determined.

Seeing this, the surrounding onlookers who had been waiting expectantly immediately let out a disappointed hiss.

"Tsk... what was that? I thought he was going to draw his sword and hack someone."

"What a coward! His own woman is being led away by someone else, and he doesn't even dare to let out a fart!"

"Disperse, disperse. This was totally boring."

Seeing this scene of all bark and no bite, the students who had been craning their necks to watch the drama

All shook their heads, their faces showing the disappointment of a spoiled mood.

They only felt that this Tang Liu was also a spineless coward.

They then dispersed to go to their respective class registration points.

Only Chen Shanzhi remained standing where he was.

He looked at Tang Liu's departing back, and not only did he not think the other party was cowering, but the corners of his mouth also curled up slightly, revealing a playful and dangerous smile.

"Interesting."

Chen Shanzhi chuckled lightly in his heart.

"I didn't expect this kid to actually choose the King Qi line."

Just now, at the moment Tang Liu brushed past him,

He had used True Essence to wrap his voice and said a sentence that only Chen Shanzhi could hear:

"During this martial arts competition, you're dead."

Chen Shanzhi squeezed Tang Xiaowu's small hand, which was sweating in his palm, and his eyes gradually became deep.

Want to kill me on the martial arts stage?

I'm just afraid that your shell, you shrinking turtle, won't be hard enough.
