The entire front yard instantly fell silent.
The energy that Chu Min had unleashed when she stepped on Zhao Zheng was many times stronger than when Zhao Zheng had used the Roar of the Shocking Waves. The difference in strength between the two of them was enough to determine who was stronger in this single attack.
Zhao Zheng had already reached the Connected Three Physical Realms, but this Chu Min was even stronger than him. Everyone stared at the pit. Zhao Zheng had been knocked down by this attack, but they didn't know how badly he had been injured. If he wasn't seriously injured, then the difference in strength between the two might not be that great.
Just as they were thinking this, a figure flew out of the pit and landed lightly on the edge of the pit.
It was Chu Min. No one was too surprised when they saw her. After all, she had the advantage. Everyone continued to stare at the pit, their hearts filled with anticipation.
"What are you looking at? He's already dead," Chu Min said.
Already dead?
Everyone was so shocked that their eyes almost fell out of their sockets. What did it mean to instantly kill someone with three Connected Physical Realms? It meant that Chu Min had probably reached the Connected Four Physical Realms. They had thought that Chu Min was stronger than Zhao Zheng, but they hadn't expected her to be this much stronger.
"Hurry and notify the President," someone whispered.
If she had reached the Connected Four Physical Realms, then the only person in the Supervisory Board who could stop her was their new President. The other two inspectors and seven commanders were all skipped over.
No one dared to stop Lu Ping as he continued to walk forward. Everyone was staring at Chu Min. For these ordinary inspectors who had only reached the Connected Single Physical Realms, not running away was already quite courageous.
Lu Ping easily passed through the front courtyard and reached the middle courtyard. The rooms around him were completely silent. The people from the Supervisory Board seemed to have already gathered in the front courtyard. Lu Ping pushed open a few rooms but didn't see anyone. He spread out his Hearing Technique. Outside the front courtyard, there was only the sound of spiritual energy coming from the back courtyard. He then hurried to the back courtyard.
The Supervisory Board's back courtyard, the lake of flowers and birds, was a completely different scene from the stormy front courtyard. The newly appointed chairman of the Zhiling Zone's Board of Overseers, Feng Xingye, sat on the veranda above the lake and casually threw food into the lake.
He had long since sensed the commotion in the front courtyard, but he did not move at all.
In the past, the chairman of the academy's branch had only been at the Third Spirit Realm. Now, most of the eight commanders were at this level of strength. In addition to him, the chairman of the branch who was at the Fourth Spirit Realm, there was no telling how much better they were. In terms of combat power, even the City Lord's Mansion in a remote and backward district like the Canyon Peak District was no match for them. What else could the Academy's branch not handle?
He really didn't know where this uninformed fellow had come from. He actually dared to cause trouble at the current academy's branch. How pitiful!
When Feng Xingye sensed the commotion in the front yard, he felt pity for the troublemaker. When the Spirit Force exploded in the front yard, Feng Xingye finally frowned.
The newcomer didn't seem to be weak.
He thought to himself, but didn't raise his hand. He continued to watch the koi fish fighting for food in the lake. He heard footsteps approaching the backyard step by step.
"Who's in the front yard?" As soon as the footsteps landed in the backyard, Feng Xingye had already spoken. From his position to the entrance of the backyard, there were still dozens of meters between him and the entrance, but his voice still traveled very clearly.
"It's me."
This reply greatly surprised Feng Xingye. He finally raised his head to look in this direction.
An ordinary-looking youth had just entered the backyard, and was currently looking around.
His perception swept over, and what he sensed was still ordinary. However, the extraordinary feeling came from the front yard.
Feng Xingye immediately understood how this ordinary-looking brat had directly passed through to the backyard. Clearly, it was the expert in the front yard who had stunned everyone.
It seemed that he was not an ordinary person. He needed to make a trip there himself.
Feng Xingye stood up, and casually scattered the last bit of fish food in his hand into the lake.
"You guys take care of things here," he said. The figure in the corridor suddenly became a blur.
"Yes." A voice came from the fake mountain in the backyard, and then two people came out. One of them held a chessboard under his arm. More than half of the black and white pieces were on the board, but they were not messed up at all.
The other person held two chess boxes, and was very worried about the person holding the chessboard.
"Don't take the opportunity to mess up the chess pieces," he said.
"Please understand that I have the advantage right now. Me messing up the chessboard?" the person holding the chessboard said.
"What if I'm careless?" the other person said.
"Do you think I will?" As the person holding the chessboard spoke, his gaze was already looking towards Lu Ping at the entrance of the backyard. At the same time, he also used his perception.
The two people who came out from behind the fake mountain were dressed in the same style, but one was dressed in black and the other in white. The only difference was the waist tag on their waists. Although the shape and texture were the same, the patterns were different.
Lu Ping had obtained this kind of waist tag before. It was the waist tag of the chief inspector of the academy branch. These two people, one in black and one in white, were the two newly appointed chief inspectors of the Zhiling Precinct. The one in black was called Quan Lie, and the one in white was called Zhou Zhao.
The two had known each other since they were young and had been obsessed with the ways of the underworld. In the end, they hadn't accomplished anything in chess, but their talents in cultivation had been discovered. In the end, they had both become experts of the three spirits. However, the two's obsession with chess had never changed. In the year that they'd been chief inspectors of the Zhiling Precinct, the two had done the most was play chess, play chess, and play chess again.
The newly rebuilt branch of the academy branch was truly strong. Even the two chief inspectors rarely had matters that required their direct involvement, much less the chairman. This kind of idle work made the two quite happy.
But now that the matter was right in front of them, the two of them had to stop their ongoing chess game. When Quan Lie's perception swept over Lu Ping, he only felt that his strength was average. He wanted nothing more than to send a subordinate to settle things so they could continue playing. However, at this time, there was no one else in the back courtyard and middle courtyard apart from the two of them. Everyone had gathered in the front courtyard.
"You go deal with it. Leave the chessboard here so I can think about my next move." Zhou Zhao had obviously also sensed Lu Ping at this time and immediately didn't want to move anymore. He asked Quan Lie for the chessboard.
"Don't even think about playing any tricks. I remember every move on the chessboard." Quan Lie said as he placed the chessboard on a nearby stone table. Zhou Zhao held the two boxes and began to think as he stared at the chessboard, no longer paying attention to the things around him.
The move that he hadn't thought of for a long time seemed to be suddenly enlightened now. He saw a brilliant move with just a glance.
"Haha, I've got it!" Zhou Zhao was wild with joy. He was even happier that he'd made such a good move than that he'd made a breakthrough in his cultivation. He hurriedly turned his head and was about to urge Quan Lie to come and admire his Hand of God that had completely reversed the situation. When he looked up, he saw that Lu Ping was still standing at the entrance to the back courtyard, and his good chess friend was still floating on the surface of the lake.
This was …
Zhou Zhao, who was completely immersed in the chess game, didn't notice what was happening beside him at all. At this moment, Quan Lie, who was floating on the surface of the lake, suddenly quivered. He leaped up and flew backward, landing beside Zhou Zhao, dripping wet.
At this time, he didn't look at the chess game beside him anymore. He only stared at Lu Ping.
"He's an expert," he said.
"How good is he?" Zhou Zhao asked.
"As good as a national player," Quan Lie said.
