"Do as Renegade Su says," Yun Wanli said.
Han Yuxiang didn't know what else to say since the Principal had said so.
After Han Yuxiang left, Yun Wanli said to Su Ping, "Renegade Su, I am to blame for your sister's disappearance. I will try my best to find her. Please forgive me."
"Of course. This has nothing to do with you. I asked Han Yuxiang to take care of her. He should be the one to blame," Su Ping said.
Yun Wanli forced a smile. "Renegade Su, please come to the Battle Peak. I will ask Yuxiang to gather the students there."
"Okay."
…
Half an hour later.
Thousands of people were standing in a vast open space on the mountainside of the True Martial University. They were the students of the True Martial University.
"What's going on?"
"Why are we here all of a sudden?"
"I heard from the Pei Society that some big shot is here. Even the Principal is back."
"Really? I heard that the Principal is a legendary battle pet warrior. I have only seen him three times, at the entrance ceremony. "
"The Pei Society must be telling the truth. I don't think anyone would dare to impersonate him."
"I also heard that there was a new record at the Dragon Tower. I heard that someone reached the 33rd floor!"
"Are you drunk? 33rd floor? Why don't you say the 330th floor? "
"That's right. Even God Pei only reached the 17th floor. The best talent in the history of our academy only reached the 22nd floor. You're telling me the 33rd floor? How can you believe that?"
The students were discussing in a low voice. The students were in groups of three or five, each with their own society.
"I wonder who that big shot is. Why is everyone gathered here?"
In a corner of the crowd, a few figures stood there. The one standing in the middle was Qin Shaotian. His face was gloomy, and he looked less spirited than before and more gloomy.
Standing next to him were Liu Qingfeng, Ye Longtian, and Zhou Yun, the future family head of the Zhou family.
"I don't care who they are. They have nothing to do with us. What the hell are you doing here? Stop wasting my time!" Ye Longtian said in a low voice.
Liu Qingfeng glanced at him. He really couldn't understand why the Ye Clan would choose such a boorish man as their Young Master. If word of this got out and fell into the ears of that big shot, the Ye Clan would be doomed if he took it seriously.
"Look, isn't that Xu Kuang over there?"
Zhou Yun suddenly said, pointing to the high platform in front of the crowd.
They followed his line of sight and were all stunned.
It was really Xu Kuang!
They had seen each other in the Elite League. The big black dog that Xu Kuang had summoned had left a deep impression on them.
It was only after he arrived at the True Martial School that he learned that the big black dog was Xu Kuang's pet. Xu Kuang himself had gone through a series of tests, but his results weren't ideal. Soon, he was relegated to the bottom of the freshmen class. His living conditions were extremely miserable. He didn't expect that he would be on that high platform now.
"Strange. Why is he there?" Liu Qingfeng was confused as well.
Ye Longtian raised his eyebrows. "Did he piss off someone again? Is he going to be punished in public?"
Zhou Yun nodded. "Did you see the wounds on his body? I think so. He is unlucky. That's why I always say that if you're not good enough, don't show off. You have to return the pet you borrowed. You have to rely on yourself."
Liu Qingfeng shook his head. He didn't know what to say.
They were all from the Longjiang Base City but Xu Kuang was different. He wasn't a member of the five major families and he didn't know them well. Since Xu Kuang didn't come to them, they wouldn't lower themselves to go to him. Therefore, they had been estranged from each other in the academy.
While the few of them were talking, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded from afar. Soon, the surrounding discussion disappeared, and only a few people could be heard shouting, "They're here!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the front.
Several figures flew over under everyone's gazes.
"It, it's him?!"
Qin Shaotian, who had been staring at one of the people, suddenly opened his eyes wide. He couldn't believe it.
It's that guy?!
"It's him!" Ye Longtian's eyes were wide open.
Liu Qingfeng was stunned as well.
Zhou Yun was stunned and said, "Why is he here …"
Not far away from them, a young man also looked as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't believe it. It was Mu Chen, the future master of the Mu family.
He knew two of the people who had come out. They were Han Yuxiang, the Vice Principal, and Yun Wanli, the most mysterious and legendary Principal of the Valiant Academy.
However, Su Ping was standing in the middle of them!
The Su Ping that he had met in the Longjiang Base City!
He was here, right next to the Principal?!
"Mu Chen, you know him?" A slender and beautiful girl turned her head to look at him and asked with a cold expression.
Mu Chen gazed into the distance. For a moment, he didn't hear what the girl had said.
The girl was surprised by Mu Chen's reaction. Ever since Mu Chen joined her, he had always been well-behaved. This was the first time that he had behaved so rudely.
But the shock on Mu Chen's face made her curious.
…
"Are they all here?" Su Ping asked Han Yuxiang as he glanced over the thousands of people gathered in the plaza.
Han Yuxiang answered at once, "Almost all of them are here."
Su Ping nodded and said to Yun Wanli, "Principal, you can help me with the questioning later. You are more respected among the students. I don't think they would dare to lie to you."
Yun Wanli thought about it and nodded. "Okay."
Those students didn't know who Su Ping was so they might not answer seriously. Yun Wanli could understand why Su Ping would have such concerns.
Su Ping whispered something to Yun Wanli. Yun Wanli nodded to show that he understood.
Then, Yun Wanli stepped forward and said in a gentle voice, "I have gathered all of you here because a student from our school has gone missing. I believe many of you know her. She is the new student this year, Su Lingyue."
"Su Lingyue went missing a week ago. Not long after she left the Dragon Tower, there was no news of her. I don't know if any of you saw her on the day she went missing."
Hearing Yun Wanli's words, the students below looked at each other.
They didn't expect that such a large gathering would be just to ask about that.
"Su Lingyue, the one that stood out among the new students?"
"Yes, the one that reached the 10th level as soon as she arrived. She reached the 14th level not long after!"
"I see. I heard that she might be able to match God Pei's record."
"I just heard that she went missing."
"Why did they only find her after so long? Who is that guy standing next to the Principal? Is he from our academy as well? Why haven't I seen him before?"
There was a lot of discussion.
Qin Shaotian and the others, who were standing in the crowd, suddenly understood.
"So, he's here to find his sister."
"Su Lingyue is missing."
"I can't believe this guy can ask the Principal to help him find his sister. I heard that the Principal is a legendary battle pet warrior."
Liu Qingfeng and Ye Longtian were surprised. They knew that Su Ping was powerful but they were at the Valiant Academy. Even they would have to behave themselves. However, Su Ping was able to ask the Principal to help him. How powerful was he?
"That guy …" Qin Shaotian squinted his eyes and clenched his fists. He had gone to the Valiant Academy to close the gap between him and Su Ping.
However, the next time he saw Su Ping, it was under such circumstances.
Su Ping was on the stage and Qin Shaotian was off the stage.
Su Ping had the Principal with him. Qin Shaotian didn't even have the courage to talk back when a student was making things difficult for him!
…
…
Not long afterward, some students raised their hands to give feedback.
Yun Wanli and Su Ping went up to them and asked for more details.
Some said that they had seen her outside the Dragon Tower. Others said that they had seen her on a street somewhere in the academy.
Some said that they had seen her at the entrance to the forbidden grounds, in front of the beast caves.
They asked dozens of people.
"You're saying that she left with Nangong and Ji Feng?"
"Yes."
The student nodded nervously. He was cautious when talking to Yun Wanli.
Su Ping had been with Yun Wanli the whole time. He squinted his eyes.
Yun Wanli looked around and asked, "Where are Nangong and Ji Feng?"
The students looked at each other but no one answered.
After half a minute, someone said in a low voice, "Reporting to the dean, I, I'm here."
Su Ping and Yun Wanli looked at the person who had spoken. It was a young man.
Whoosh!
Su Ping arrived in front of the young man in an instant.
Su Ping's sudden appearance startled the student. His face paled when he saw Su Ping's face. He was nervous.
Yun Wanli sensed the killing intent coming from Su Ping. "Renegade, calm down. Let me ask first."
"My sister went with you. Where did she go?" Su Ping stared at the young man.
The young man was startled and his expression changed. He looked at the dean and said hesitantly, "Mr. Dean, I don't know. I've never seen student Su. That person must be talking nonsense or he remembered wrongly. I was cultivating that day and didn't go out at all."
Yun Wanli was surprised. He turned around and looked at the previous student. He signaled to Han Yuxiang to bring him over.
Han Yuxiang picked up the young man and flew over to Su Ping.
"Did you see wrong or did you remember wrong?" Yun Wanli asked the young man.
The student was a little nervous. He looked at Yun Wanli and then at the young man in front of him, Ji Feng. He said weakly, "Maybe, maybe I remembered wrongly."
"You're lying."
Su Ping said all of a sudden.
However, his words were not directed at the nervous student, but at the young man in front of him. He said, "The frequency of your heartbeat, the sweat flowing out of your pores, it all means that you are lying. You are very nervous, and it is an abnormal nervousness. Let me ask you again, where was the last time you saw her? Or rather, were you the ones who caused her disappearance?! "
The young man was just about to relax when he heard Su Ping's words. He bit his teeth as he looked at Su Ping's aggressive eyes. "Why are you slandering me? Are you Su Lingyue's brother? I told you that I was cultivating that day and I didn't see her. Who can prove that I saw her? "
"I told you that you're lying." Su Ping stared at him.
"Why are you accusing me of lying? I, Ji Feng, am not worthy of lying! "the young man bellowed.
Han Yuxiang wanted to say something, but it was too late.
With a slap, Ji Feng's neck was bent to the side and a red handprint appeared on his face.
The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the hall. All the students were dumbfounded.
Ji Feng was a senior student who was about to graduate. He was one of the most influential people in the academy and was as strong as a titled battle pet warrior. He also had an ancient family backing him up. How could he be slapped in public?!
"I'm asking you again. Where did she go?"
Su Ping glared at him coldly.
The young man tilted his neck in a daze, and it took him a few seconds to react. Feeling the astonished gazes of the people around him, he suddenly felt his blood flow backward, and his entire neck turned red.
"You, you slapped me?!"
"Do you know who I am?!"
Ji Feng was losing his mind. He was slapped and humiliated in front of all the teachers and students. He felt he was losing his mind.
Qin Shaotian and the others were stunned when they saw this scene in the distant crowd. They looked at each other, and were somewhat dumbfounded. They hadn't expected that this guy would act so fiercely after coming to the True Martial University. Moreover, he had done it in front of the Dean. He was too bold!
Bang!
All of a sudden, they heard a muffled sound. Su Ping raised his hand and slapped downward. Ji Feng, who was still shouting, trembled all of a sudden. The ground around him sank and cracks appeared on the ground. Ji Feng's clothes were torn apart and hung on his body like rags.
Many wounds appeared on his body.
Ji Feng's expression fell into a daze, as if he had been struck dumb.
Beside him, Yun Wanli's pupils constricted as he revealed a look of shock.
He could tell how mysterious Su Ping's slap was. Ji Feng wasn't killed, but he was on the verge of death. Ji Feng was severely injured.
More importantly, given the destructive power of the slap, Ji Feng should have been killed directly. However, Ji Feng didn't die. Ji Feng's control of his strength was exquisite!
As the Principal of the Valiant Academy, which focused on cultivation, Yun Wanli was more knowledgeable about battle pet warriors' secret skills. He knew how rare it was to have such control of strength!
"There is another one named Nangong, right? Tell him to come here." Su Ping pulled a long face.
Yun Wanli was surprised. He darted a look at Ji Feng. Ji Feng had fainted and was on the verge of death.
Yun Wanli felt sorry for Ji Feng. He wanted to persuade Ji Feng to stay. However, seeing the killing intent on Su Ping's face, Yun Wanli decided not to do so. He looked around and asked, "Where is Nangong?"
The other students were dumbfounded. They stared at Su Ping in surprise.
Everyone could tell that this young man was not a simple person.
They had thought that Ji Feng was just a supporting role, maybe an apprentice of the Principal.
However, the Principal didn't blame Ji Feng for hurting Ji Feng in public. Ji Feng's identity was terrifying.
Also, to be able to slap Ji Feng into such a state with one slap was terrifying.
"I think we have an extraordinary person here."
In the crowd, next to Mu Chen, the beautiful girl squinted her eyes. Her eyes were like crescent moons, showing interest and seriousness.
Next to her, Mu Chen was dumbfounded.
It never occurred to him that the guy who had acted violently in the Longjiang Base City would be so violent in the Valiant Academy!
Ever since he was beaten up in the Valiant Academy, Mu Chen had come to terms with reality.
After all, the Longjiang Base City was a small place.
No matter how violent Ji Feng was in a small place, he was just a shrimp in a pond. Sooner or later, he would meet a real overlord in the ocean.
However, it seemed that Su Ping was still … a real overlord.
He was so fierce!
…
He waited for a minute or two, but no one answered.
Yun Wanli frowned. Right then, someone said in a feeble voice, "Mr. Principal, I think Senior Nan is still cultivating in the Graveyard Forest. He didn't come."
Su Ping frowned. "Graveyard Forest?"
Yun Wanli answered at once, "The Graveyard Forest is a cultivation place in the academy. There are some bones of ancient beasts in there. Those bones contain the energy left by the beasts when they were dying. They are ferocious and can strengthen one's spirit and will. If you cultivate there for a long time, you won't be frightened by the beasts' skills."
"Is that so? Take me there."
Su Ping said.
Yun Wanli nodded. "The Graveyard Forest is not far from here. Come with me."
With that said, Yun Wanli flew ahead.
Su Ping was right behind him.
Han Yuxiang went after them as well. After all, he was afraid that he would be in trouble if he couldn't find Su Lingyue.
The students looked at each other in confusion. Why were they still standing there when Su Ping was running away?
Soon, someone dashed out from the crowd and went after Su Ping.
The girl next to Mu Chen went after Su Ping as well, ignoring the rules.
Fei Tianyi went after Su Ping as well. His eyes flickered. Su Ping was more domineering than he had imagined. He dared to attack Su Ping in front of all the students and teachers of the Valiant Academy.
He had met Ji Feng who had challenged him several times. Ji Feng had failed but Fei Tianyi knew that Ji Feng was not weak. Ji Feng was someone worth playing with.
