57: Chapter 57: Pull down the battle flag, and this territory is ours!

Jiang You landed silently on the rockery.

[Right Hand (taps on the turtle shell)]:

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Hmm, this melon is ripe."

"The texture of this shell is quite good; it's big, round, and comes with its own patterns."

"Taking it back as a rice bowl for the host, or using it as a begging bowl when going out in the future, would be quite impressive!"

[stomach (drool flowing all over the place)]:

"Don't just look at the shell!"

"The meat inside is the main point! The flesh and blood of a Tier 4 Demonic Beast! It's a great tonic!"

"Don't eat it all, leave some for the principal; we just need to extract some essence."

Thus, Jiang You moved.

He did not use any earth-shattering martial arts.

He simply stretched out his hands and pressed them onto the giant turtle's back.

[Kidneys] and [stomach] combo skill, [Superpower Liposuction of Plunder]!

"Hum!!!"

The Profound Water Giant Turtle, which was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt its body become light.

That feeling was like having a sweet dream when suddenly someone pulled out its spine and used a vacuum cleaner to suck all the fat out of its body.

"Roar...?"

The giant turtle opened its eyes groggily and let out a weak sound of confusion.

It discovered with horror that its originally massive body was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye!

That essence of flesh and blood, accumulated over a hundred years, was flowing continuously into the tiny human on its back!

It wanted to resist, wanted to bite.

But [Right Hand] gently patted its head:

"Behave."

"Borrowing the shell, and losing some weight while I'm at it."

"You're too fat; it's easy to get the three highs."

"Slap."

An irresistible, strange force directly knocked the giant turtle unconscious.

Three minutes later.

Jiang You stopped.

He looked at the huge, heavy, dark green turtle shell in his hands and nodded with satisfaction.

And that originally majestic Tier 4 giant turtle...

At this moment, it had turned into a palm-sized, bald, soft-shelled little turtle, shivering in the crack of a rock, its face full of doubt about its turtle existence.

Not only was its home gone.

Even its hundred years of cultivation had been drained, returning it to its pre-hatching state overnight.

[Brain]:

"Mission accomplished."

"Loot: one turtle shell, some Tier 4 blood essence."

"Warning! A large number of unidentified energy bodies are approaching!"

"We might have been discovered!"

In the distance, the sound of sirens tore through the night sky.

Countless strong flashlight beams and the auras of experts were rapidly converging here.

"The water-stealing thief is here!"

"Heavens! The principal's turtle shell has been stripped off!"

"Hey! How can you insult the principal!"

"No, I mean the principal's turtle shell..."

...

"Catch him! Don't let him run away!"

Jiang You tucked the huge turtle shell under his arm, just like carrying a large briefcase.

He looked back at the group of furious instructors chasing him and let out a disdainful huff from under his mask.

[Legs (excited)]:

"People are coming? People are coming?"

"Great! Finally, we can play the game of chase!"

"Hold on tight, everyone! The veteran driver is starting the car!"

"Boom!"

The rockery under Jiang You's feet shattered instantly.

He shot into the sky, clutching the turtle shell, tracing an arrogant arc in the night, and began his escape.

This was a "night run" that would be recorded in the history of Magic City Martial Arts University.

In the night sky, sirens wailed, and dozens of searchlight beams swept madly across the campus.

"Over there! On top of the library!"

"He jumped to the clock tower again!"

"Quick, stop him! That turtle thief!"

The Dean of Students led a group of Tier 4 instructors, chasing frantically behind him.

However, the faceless man in black ahead was like a slippery loach, or perhaps a weightless ghost.

[Internal Chat Group]

[Legs (laughing wildly)]:

"Hahahaha! Too slow! Too slow!"

"The teaching building is in front? No need to go around! Just run up the wall!"

"Newton? Don't mention Newton to me; tonight, gravity is under my control!"

In reality.

Jiang You, with the one-meter-diameter turtle shell tucked under his arm, was not affected in balance; instead, it was like having an aerodynamic spoiler installed.

Facing the vertical wall of the teaching building, he ran up as if it were flat ground.

His toes tapped lightly on the glass curtain wall, "tap, tap, tap," and he instantly rushed to the roof, dozens of meters high.

The instructors behind watched in astonishment:

"Running vertically on a wall? Is this a gecko Supernatural Ability? Or a spider-type Supernatural Ability?"

"Not necessarily! He might just be so fast that he ignores gravity!"

"Where on earth did this monster come from?"

The night wind howled, and a game of "cat and mouse" was playing out over the Magic City Martial Arts University campus.

But obviously, this "mouse" was cheating.

Dozens of instructors, panting, chased to the top of the clock tower, only to find it empty, with only a lingering afterimage left behind, seemingly mocking their turtle-like speed in silence.

[Internal Chat Group]

[Legs (extremely arrogant)]:

"Is that it? Is that it?"

"I haven't even shifted into fifth gear yet, and they can't even see my taillights?"

"Boring, too boring."

"This speed is just my warm-up level. Since we've shaken off these tag-alongs, let's go home!"

[Brain (navigation confirmation)]:

"Alert cleared. No threats within a kilometer."

"Return route planning... straight back to Class F."

...

A moment later.

The black shadow clutching the huge turtle shell, like a ghost, landed lightly back downstairs at the Abandoned Gymnasium of Class F.

The night was deep, and Class F was quiet.

Only the balcony of the third-floor female dormitory had a few dim night lights swaying in the wind, exuding a mysterious sense of "no unauthorized personnel allowed."

The organs originally intended to just climb through the window back to the second floor to sleep.

But just as they passed the second-floor window, [Legs] suddenly came to a screeching halt.

[Legs (shaking disdainfully)]:

"Wait."

"I suddenly remembered, didn't someone say before..."

"That the third floor of this building is a forbidden area? Saying that whoever goes up there dies?"

[Brain]:

"There is such information. According to data, extremely dangerous creatures live on the third floor, and males are forbidden from entering."

[Legs (bristling instantly)]:

"Huh? A forbidden area?"

"I am the leg that ran five hundred kilometers to take a bath in the Thunder Ruins! I am the leg that rode on the head of a Martial Saint and ran wild!"

"Is there any place in this world I can't go?"

"The more they say it's a forbidden area, the more I want to stomp on it!"

"Not only stomp, but also take something away to prove I was here! This is called—conquest!"

[Right Hand (concurring)]:

"Agreed! Since we're here, if we don't come up and touch... no, if we don't come up and take some loot, it'll make us look bad."

"It just so happens that the turtle shell in my hand is a bit empty; I need to put something soft in it to cushion it."

[Brain (pondering for 0.1 seconds)]:

"Logic sound."

"In order to break the superstition of the forbidden area and establish our status as the overlords of Class F."

"Action approved. Target: Third-floor balcony. Mission: Randomly grab loot to prove our presence."

Thus.

Jiang You, who had already arrived home safely, suddenly jumped up from where he was.

Without any fancy moves, relying solely on terrifying jumping power, he directly ignored gravity and landed lightly on the railing of the third-floor balcony, known as "no unauthorized personnel allowed."

It was quiet here.

The air was filled with a faint floral scent, mixed with a hint of poisonous herbs and gunpowder.

The balcony was covered in drying clothes, fluttering in the wind, colorful.

Jiang You stood on the railing, his head under the mask slightly raised, carrying an air of arrogance that looked down on the world.

Is this the forbidden area?

It's nothing much.

[Right Hand]:

"So many flags..."

"These colorful pieces of cloth must be their totems or battle flags, right?"

"Pull up the battle flag, and this territory is ours!"
