The dean of Zhenfeng College, Guo Youdao.
Whether in terms of reputation or appearance, he really wasn't a major figure. He had a bit of a reputation in the Zhiling district, but it was all because of that joke, the joke that claimed to surpass the four great academies.
In the eyes of many, this kind of reputation was something they didn't need. Not to mention that it had been more than twenty years, and that joke's influence was very limited.
However, the great name of Zhenfeng College had been deeply imprinted in the minds of the Zhiling district's supervisory board these days. Suddenly, the main character appeared in front of them. Venus and Senhai, who were walking at the very front, actually laughed when they looked at each other. To them, the higher one's position in the school, the easier it was for them to be controlled. They couldn't deal with the trivial matters of the students, and they couldn't do anything if the tutors made up their minds and left like Chu Min had. As for the dean, he shouldered the entire school on his shoulders, so he couldn't escape being involved in any mission. He was the board's favorite person to deal with.
"You're the dean of Zhenfeng College in the Canyon Peak district?" Venus confirmed again. He didn't care at all what the other's name was. The dean was the key. Since the other was the dean and knew that they were the supervisory board, wouldn't he immediately kneel down and lick their boots?
"I am," Guo Youdao said.
"Zhiling district supervisory board, fifth commander, Venus." Venus raised his medallion to reveal his identity.
"Oh." Guo Youdao nodded.
"Nice to meet you." His gaze moved away from Venus as he spoke, passing through the crowd and landing on Siffin. Then, he turned back to the previous question. "Where are you taking my students?"
"Four of your Zhenfeng College students have accompanied Tutor Chu Min of Amaterasu College in using the Soul-Severing technique to attack the supervisors who came to stop them. They are now suspected of murdering a commander of the board." Venus's expression was grave and righteous.
Guo Youdao looked at Siffin.
"There are no rules against using Soul Severing to cultivate." Siffin said.
Guo Youdao nodded and looked at Venus. "That's true. There's no such rule in our academy. It's not their fault. "
"This is a rule jointly formulated by the Council and the academy. Why aren't you following it?" Venus reprimanded.
"I forgot," Guo Youdao said.
"What?"
"No mentor in the academy knows how to use Soul Severing. That's why I forgot about it, "Guo Youdao said. His words were so true that people couldn't help but want to believe him. Zhenfeng College was located in the sparsely populated mountains in the southeastern part of the mainland. He was ranked at the bottom of the Continental Academy's Reputation List. What about Zhan Po? Rank 5 abilities required at least three spirits to be connected. Apart from the Essence Spirit, the other two spirits needed to be at the Sixth Celestial Realm before they could be used. There were only a handful of such powerful instructors in the Twin Pole and Amaterasu Academies, to say nothing of a small school in a remote mountainous area.
However, no matter what. This was still the academy's negligence and fault.
"Therefore, we don't want to make things too difficult for your students." Venus was quite adept at pushing the boat along. In actuality, Zhenfeng College wasn't under the jurisdiction of the Council at all. If they insisted on interfering, they'd be forcing a duck onto a perch. They had no choice but to do so. Now that the culprit had appeared, Venus felt that it would save them a great deal of trouble.
"But they must cooperate with us in finding the person who uses Soul Severing to cultivate, Chu Min of Amaterasu College. In addition, we can let them off the hook for attacking the Council of Supervisors. But the murder of the commander must be pursued to the end. " As Venus spoke, he attempted to make some compromises in exchange for the other party's cooperation in order to achieve their goals.
"Is this the one who was killed?" Guo Youdao saw a stretcher to the side. His appearance had caused the Council of Supervisors to pause for a moment.
"Yes." Venus said as he lifted the white cloth that had been redrawn.
"Have you checked the cause of death?" Guo Youdao asked.
"Preliminary examination showed that the blood vessels in the deceased's body were damaged, causing extensive bleeding throughout the body. The preliminary conclusion is that a very powerful force was injected into the body, causing the damage, "Venus said.
"What's his realm? What ability?" Guo Youdao bent down and asked as he carefully examined the body.
"Pivot, Force Connection. The ability is a very rare ability called 'Nutrient'. Its function is … "
"I know, a digestive ability. It collects information about the opponent's strength and then uses this information as food to temporarily simulate the opponent's strength. Although it's rare. But it's not too difficult. But the steps are a little complicated. In the end, it's only able to temporarily obtain the same or slightly lower force as the opponent. Because of its difficulty, it's rated as Level 3. In terms of practicality, I think it's only Level 1. If you're good at using it, it can be a good support ability. " Guo Youdao interrupted Qi Xing, and started to talk about Dong Cheng's special ability, "Nutrient", without stopping.
Everyone's eyes were wide open. Guo Youdao's explanation was accurate. But when he said that 'Nutrient's practicality was only Level 1, they were a little upset. But when they thought about it carefully, it was only replicating the same or slightly lower force as the opponent. If it was used as one's main combat strength, it would only be able to scare the opponent, but it wouldn't have any overwhelming effect.
"Moreover, if you accidentally replicated a force that you can't control, it would be no different from eating poison," Guo Youdao said.
"What do you mean?"
"He is!" Guo Youdao pointed at Dongcheng's corpse. "He used Nutrient to digest the force that he couldn't handle, so his blood vessels were damaged from the inside. Simply put, he was courting death. "
"Nonsense!" Qi Xing was enraged. "They're just a few students with a Single Soul Piercing Through. How could they possibly have any soul power that Dong Cheng can't control?"
"Have you heard of Blood Force?" Guo Youdao asked.
"Blood Force?" Venus was stunned. The people from the Academy Commission were also in an uproar. Of course, they had heard of a rare bloodline like Blood Force. But because they had never come into contact with it, many people thought that it was just a legend, or that the bloodline of Blood Force had gone extinct because it couldn't be inherited.
If it was the force of Blood Force, it was entirely possible that Dongcheng couldn't handle it. A Blood Force's base force was several times stronger than an ordinary cultivator's. No one could withstand it.
Unconsciously, everyone thought of the girl's strength. Didn't Team Leader Dongcheng look for her alone because he was interested in her?
Blood Force … That girl was actually a Blood Force?
Unconsciously, many of the inspectors from the Academy Commission believed it. But if that was the case, what should they do with Dongcheng's death? When they fought, he used Nutrient to replicate the opponent's force, but in the end, he killed himself … This didn't seem to be the opponent's fault, right?
It really seemed like … he was courting death.
How could this happen?
The inspectors from the Third Group under Dongcheng couldn't accept it. How could their team leader die in such a stupid way?
Everyone fell silent, including Venus, who lowered his head to look at Dongcheng's tragic death. He wanted to cry but had no tears. Suddenly, Wen Yan, who had been following at the back of the team, shouted, "Be careful!"
Matsuoka!
He had used his special ability to disappear, and no one knew when he had snuck up behind Guo Youdao.
He had to take action. As soon as the Dean of Zhenfeng College appeared, he quickly took the initiative. Venus, that idiot, had completely fallen into his rhythm. He looked like a student who was receiving his teachings. Everyone's thoughts had been led away by Guo Youdao.
But Matsuoka didn't.
Compared to Venus, Senhai, and any other inspector, he was angrier. Not only because of Dongcheng's death, but also because of the humiliation he had suffered today. Therefore, when Venus said that he wouldn't pursue the matter of Zhenfeng College's student, he was already unhappy. He had always been hostile to the Dean of Zhenfeng College.
Therefore, at this moment, he moved forward.
He didn't want to attack, but he wanted to use his usual joking method to let this old man feel the threat of death, so that he wouldn't be so smug.
After all, Matsuoka's Disappear was not invisible. His soul power was completely hidden, but everyone could see him. He just took advantage of the fact that Guo Youdao wasn't paying attention to him to avoid his line of sight, and then covered the sound of his footsteps. He did all of this very normally. In the eyes of others, he was just walking in that direction normally, and they didn't notice his intention at all.
It wasn't until he was behind Guo Youdao that everyone realized that he was trying to sneak an attack.
"Be careful!" Wen Yan shouted at this moment.
But Matsuoka had already made his move. He stretched out his hand and swiped at Guo Youdao's neck. Wen Yan's shout wasn't faster than his movement.
However, Guo Youdao's movement was even faster than Wen Yan's shout. Not only was it faster than Wen Yan's voice, but it was also faster than Matsuoka's movement. He turned around and slapped Matsuoka's head. Then, with a thud, Matsuoka completely fell to the ground.
"Disappear without a trace? Who are you? "Guo Youdao asked.
