As a wanted criminal of the Empire, it was shocking enough that he was walking the streets of the capital city in broad daylight. Ding Wen and Mu Yong stood rooted to the spot, watching as Lu Ping and the other two turned left at the corner of the street.
There was no other branch in this direction apart from the Institute Council. The two looked at each other, the shock on their faces deepening.
"Go … take a look?" Mu Yong swallowed.
"Let's go take a look!" Ding Wen was a graduate of the four great academies alright. He was a bit calmer than Mu Yong.
Having reached an agreement, the two immediately turned around and walked back the way they had come. When they turned left at the intersection, they saw that the three of them were indeed walking on the main street of the Institute Council. It was at this time that Lu Ping turned back to look at the two.
The two hurriedly stopped, unsure of what to do. However, Lu Ping had already turned back without any expression and continued walking forward.
The two didn't dare continue following and stood where they were. They watched as the three walked to the main gates of the Institute Council and then turned to walk in.
"Are they going to turn themselves in?" Mu Yong guessed.
"That should be the case." Ding Wen nodded, a bit relieved. This seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
Who would've thought that in the time it took to say these two words, two figures would fall to the ground outside the main gates of the Institute Council. When the two looked closely, they saw that it was the two guards guarding the main gates. The idea of turning themselves in was instantly exposed.
It was obvious that Lu Ping and the other two had come with ill intentions, but the two couldn't quite believe their eyes.
It was shocking enough that the wanted criminals of the Empire dared to walk the streets in broad daylight, but they'd even brazenly gone to the Institute Council. What did they think the Institute Council was? What did they think the Empire was?
"Are we … still going to watch?" Mu Yong's tone was filled with the intent to retreat. He didn't even dare look into these muddy waters.
Ding Wen stared straight ahead and spat out four baffling words, "Surpass the Big Four."
"What?" Mu Yong was stunned.
"For someone to say something like that, I think he's either a lunatic or a fool," Ding Wen said.
Mu Yong's gaze fell forward. Of course, he knew who the person who said those words was. Now, they had broken into the Academy's supervisory committee. Were they crazy or stupid?
This was a question that the Zhiling Zone's Board of Supervisors very much wanted to know.
They had actually been attacked in broad daylight. Ever since the establishment of the Council, regardless of whether it was the headquarters or the branches, such a thing had never happened before. Last year, most of the supervisors in the Zhiling district had been killed, starting from the position of commander. This was already a first. The Empire was enraged and, in addition to issuing a national warrant for the culprit, also rectified the branch of the Institute in the zhiling quadrant. The original organization did not change, but the new president, the two chief inspectors, and the eight commanders were stronger than before. In the end, only a year had passed and they were being beaten up again. Once again, they had set the precedent of the Academy Commission. What the hell was wrong with them?
"Who is so daring?" The alarmed inspectors rushed out from all over the yard, shouting loudly. Many were already prepared to take action.
"Silence." A hand was raised at this moment. The fourth commander, Zhao Zhen, was the first of the eight commanders to arrive at the front yard. Although not all of the inspectors who had rushed in were under his command, the yard immediately quieted down at his command. Lu Ping's reply was immediately clear.
"Lu Ping," he said.
Who was so daring? Lu Ping.
It was a coherent question and answer, but it left everyone at a loss for a moment. Only after a while did they regain their senses.
"Lu Ping? Mm?? Lu Ping!!! "Everyone's eyes widened when they came back to themselves. This was the person who had killed their supervisor a year ago, and this was the same person who had come knocking on their door a year later?
However, the fourth commander, Zhao Zhen, looked calm and composed at this moment. He looked Lu Ping up and down with interest and nodded. "You're Lu Ping? You're indeed daring. "
"That's me." Lu Ping nodded.
"Leave this to me. You go and find the person," Chu Min said.
"Oh." Lu Ping nodded.
After they finished talking, Lu Ping walked inside. He didn't take the inspectors and Zhao Zheng, who were blocking his way seriously.
"Aren't you a little too arrogant? Do you think the Zhiling Institute's supervisor is the same as it was a year ago? "Zhao Zhen sneered. He believed that Lu Ping was quite capable to be able to beat the previous Zhiling Institute's Supervisory Board into such a miserable state. But from the investigation and the feedback from the incident in Canyon Peak City, this group of people's ability wasn't enough to be a threat. It was just that what they did was too much of a challenge to the Xuan Army Empire.
Zhao Zhen's ability was not comparable to the eight commanders of the previous Zhiling Institute's supervisor. Just the realm of the Three Spirits Connected was on a completely different level from the eight commanders. The other seven new commanders and the two chief inspectors were not any weaker than him. The current president was even at the level of the Four Spirits Connected.
This new increase in strength was all due to the impact of the previous incident. It wasn't just the Zhiling Institute's supervisor. The supervisors of the other nine districts of the Xuan Army Empire had also made adjustments to increase their strength.
What they had been waiting for and guarding against was the day when madmen like Lu Ping and his companions would appear once again.
Now, a madman had finally come knocking on their door, but there was nothing new. It was Lu Ping again.
But Zhao Zhen's words didn't move Lu Ping in the slightest. He continued to walk forward.
Zhao Zhen was finally angered. His soul power suddenly condensed, as if a sleeping lion had suddenly awakened. An extremely aggressive soul power pressed down on Lu Ping.
Lu Ping finally turned his head and glanced at him, but didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
"Try taking another step forward!" Zhao Zhen's voice suddenly rose. A wild wind seemed to blow through the courtyard, causing the trees to shake and the roof tiles to creak. The faces of the dozens of supervisors were ashen as they involuntarily retreated. As for Lu Ping, he retreated along with the crowd. He was insatiable and took another step forward.
This step caused Zhao Zhen's expression to become much more serious. This time, he hadn't just been blustering. He'd used his adept ability, the Lion's Frightening Roar, in that shout. This roar would lock onto the target and also imprison the target. What followed would be a stormy wave of attacks. His Lion's Roar had clearly locked onto Lu Ping, but hadn't been able to restrain Lu Ping's movements at all. This step forward was no different from before.
It looked like this kid wasn't the Lu Ping of a year ago!
Zhao Zhen felt a few traces of wariness in his heart, but the Lion's Frightening Roar had already been unleashed. The next wave of attacks was like an arrow nocked on a bowstring, and had to be released.
Taking a step forward, Zhao Zhen's body was already in midair. Like a lion hunting a rabbit, he directly pounced towards Lu Ping.
In the end, a figure that was faster, more accurate, and higher than Zhao Zhen flew up at this time. Chu Min had made her move. In the blink of an eye, she was already in the air above Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen, who sensed something was wrong, only had time to raise his head. Chu Min's feet had already landed, hitting his spine. A lion hunting a rabbit. He had only pounced halfway when he was stomped back to the ground.
