Xia Cheng was very familiar with Jorin. The scene that happened in the opposite dormitory shocked her a little.
The young man who seemed to be talking to Shajay calmly was nothing like the reserved, solemn, and gloomy Jorin.
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence that they look alike," she guessed. In truth, she recognized that the young man was Jorin with a single glance.
Just when she was about to continue peeking at the situation in the opposite dorm, Shajay seemed to have noticed something. He walked over and pulled the curtains shut, blocking their view.
…
Inside the cafeteria.
Iron Tower ate the food on his plate quickly and elegantly. Occasionally, he would glance at his good friend's expression from the corner of his eyes.
"You seem a little distracted. Are you still worried about what happened before? Don't worry, Istan. I'll be watching Quan Shihui at all times. I won't give her a chance to act recklessly. "
The man opposite him wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. He had an oval face and a sharp gaze.
"I'm just suspecting. I can't be sure that Quan Shihui is related to the Iron Screen," he said softly and helplessly.
"Isn't suspicion the same as confirmation? The nature of this matter is so vile. The suspect can't be completely innocent, "Iron Tower said nonchalantly.
Istan shook his head slightly. His father was the scapegoat for the explosion all those years ago. He was once a high-ranking official, but he was sent to the gallows.
He was also investigating the case for the sake of revenge. After preparing for so many years, he finally found some clues.
"This is the Platinum Academy. Without concrete evidence, we can't touch her. We can only bear with it for now."
"Yes, yes, yes." Iron Tower nodded nonchalantly. He knew that the two of them were too weak against the Iron Screen.
Even with his uncle's help in the dark, Quan Shihui might not be the one to suffer a loss if the matter was brought to light.
"I have a basic idea of the rooftop murder case. I have a rough idea of who the real culprit is. However, I'll need more evidence," Istan said with a serious expression.
"Really?" Iron Tower was instantly invigorated.
"Of course. However, the more I investigate, the more I feel that we're too weak. I'm afraid that we'll have to face more than just the Iron Screen … "Istan said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter. We are still young. There will be more opportunities." Tie Ta patted his shoulder.
"Also, what do you plan on doing with the young man you've implicated and caught the Iron Curtain's attention?" Tie Ta thought of the neighbor he had misunderstood and added.
"I've already delivered the letter to him. If he still doesn't pay attention, it's none of my business," Istanbul said helplessly.
…
"Stalking?" Shajay drew the curtains and turned his back to Lu Sheng. His tone was very strange.
"Jorin, if you don't have any concrete evidence, I can sue you for defamation and fabricating rumors anytime." He turned around with a calm expression.
"Slander? Go ahead then. "Lu Sheng sat on the sofa without moving. "Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Tell me everything you know about the explosion that year. Tell me everything you know."
Shajay frowned.
"Jorin, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"I just want to find the real culprit as soon as possible." Lu Sheng shook his head. "I'll count to three. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for making a move."
Shajay's expression did not change.
"What gives you such confidence? I'm ranked fifth in the class for the close-combat course, and you're not even in the top ten. My overall performance score for the Certified Armor is more than three times that of the academy's armor. Do you think that you can suppress me with the academy's armor that you've just obtained? "
Lu Sheng was bored. With his true strength and status, it was already kind of him to say so much to this little fellow. It was a pity that no one could understand his kindness.
"I'll start now. One."
As expected, he began to count.
"Jorin, don't seek your own death." Shajay was slightly angered. His gaze turned fierce.
"Two."
Shajay's expression turned cold. The door to the bedroom opened slowly. A tall armor with a pair of silver wings on its back walked out.
"Three."
Shajay swiftly put on the armor. He gestured at the Iron Curtain man who was hiding in the shadows. The two of them surrounded Lu Sheng at the same time.
"Attack!"
There was a low shout. No one knew who had spoken.
Shajay and the man attacked at the same time. One of them attempted to knock Lu Sheng unconscious. The other used the hilt of his blade to strike a hidden spot on Lu Sheng's uniform. The hidden alarm locator that the academy had set up to protect the students was hidden there.
The two of them worked together. They had to finish off Lu Sheng in the shortest amount of time possible. They had to do it without making a sound.
"Bam!"
Something strange happened. Shajay's short blade collided heavily with an invisible force field.
The Iron Curtain man's hand blade was blocked when it was still half a meter away from Lu Sheng.
"This is?! A force field?! " The Iron Curtain man was stunned. Then, he increased his strength. A ring on his finger suddenly cracked open with a crisp sound.
"Soft Tune Style, Smoke Killing Art!" The man had trained hard in the Iron Curtain all year round. In this instant, he formed a conditioned reflex. His hand blade accurately struck the weakest spot of the Iron Curtain's force field.
Against such a weak defensive force field, even if it could block his first attack, it would not be able to block it a second time.
Moreover, there was the short burst of energy from the power system.
The power system on the ring could transform his Harmonizing Power into a sharp spike for a short period of time. He could pierce through any defensive force field that needed to be pierced.
"The Smoke Killing Art inherited from the Iron Curtain's general? What a terrifying skill! " Shajay took a step back. He did not plan to join the attack. This man alone was enough to finish off Jorin.
"You're from the Iron Curtain?" Lu Sheng immediately noticed the unique mark on the man's body. His interest was immediately piqued.
"The Iron Curtain's Smoke Killing Art is a powerful killing art that can perfectly combine poisonous smoke. While it's targeting defensive force fields, it's also the safest and fastest way to finish off the enemy." Shajay widened his eyes. He wanted to observe the man closely. He wanted to see if he could learn some of its essence.
Even within the Iron Curtain, there were not many people who knew this killing art.
The man flicked his index finger. The tip of his finger shone with an indescribable cold gleam. It was as if it was wrapped in some special force field.
"My fastest killing technique is the Water Plundering Consecutive Killing Finger."
He arched his body slightly and made a strange posture. It was as if he was gathering all the power in his body into his fingertip.
"Be careful. I can't hold back with this finger. If you can't take it … you'll die!" The man's killing intent was boiling. Although he did not want to end Lu Sheng here, at this point, he had no choice but to give it his all.
"I have a move as well. It's a finger technique as well. It focuses on lightness, and it's compatible with your finger technique." Lu Sheng stood up and raised his right hand horizontally. He put his index and middle fingers together. Wisps of Harmonizing Power wrapped around them, making his fingers extremely sturdy.
"As expected, he came prepared." Shajay's heart skipped a beat. He was beginning to suspect if Lu Sheng was someone else in disguise.
The two people in the room were already locked in a tense standoff.
"Be careful!" The man's eyes widened. "Water Plunging Finger!"
He pounced toward Lu Sheng at lightning speed. His finger drew a peculiar and sharp curve in the air. He pointed precisely at the dent on Lu Sheng's chin.
"Bending Plum Plum!" Lu Sheng also abruptly pointed with his finger. It was as if he was breaking a plum blossom branch gently.
"Crack!"
The four-meter-tall experimental fridge on the side was broken along with the wall. Two sections of the fridge, which weighed several tons, flew out and struck the tip of the man's index finger.
"Bam!" "Ah!"
The man screamed. Blood splattered all over the floor. He rolled on the fridge and was pinned down by it. He flew to the wall behind him and crashed into it again. Then, he rolled on the floor with the fridge. He clutched his stomach and was covered in blood. It seemed like he was dead.
Shajay's mouth was wide open. He did not expect this at all.
The fridge was an experimental heavy fridge that he had custom-made. It could adjust temperature data to the greatest extent. It was installed in the dormitory along with the wall.
Yet, it was broken by Lu Sheng with a single finger. He even killed this man from the Iron Screen on the spot.
"Woo … Woo … Woo …"
The piercing alarm kept ringing above the dormitory. Clearly, the huge collision had triggered the alarm.
"Time to go." Lu Sheng grabbed Shajay with one hand. He turned and left the room quickly.
"Where are you taking me?" After witnessing this mysterious Jorin's strength, Shajay admitted defeat without hesitation. He also understood that a person who could survive the Iron Screen's pursuit could not be measured by simple statistics.
"Just follow me." Lu Sheng walked in front. Along the way, there were ordinary students who were panicking. They were all because of the alarm.
"Your house," Lu Sheng said decisively. "I heard that your family's rich?"
"Uh … It's alright. It's just average …" Shajay looked at the Iron Screen man who was rolling on the floor.
"Follow me." Lu Sheng led Shajay out of the dormitory. They took the elevator and soon arrived outside the building.
Shajay dared not resist. He could only follow closely. The two of them had just left the dormitory when they saw many fully-armed guards charging toward the dormitory.
Lu Sheng walked in the opposite direction slowly. Like the other panicking students, he looked like he could not wait to get away from the alarm.
"Who are you?!" Shajay had a bad feeling. The other party was heading toward the outside of the academy. If he left the academy completely, he would not have the chance to ask for help anymore.
Now that there were people running past him, there was a high chance that he could escape from the other party's control if he moved quickly.
"I'm Jorin." Lu Sheng smiled. He turned and stared at Shajay. "What's wrong? Why did you stop? "
"No … You're not Jorin." Shajay retreated slowly. His expression became serious. "That sharp killing intent and aura isn't something that Jorin can unleash!"
"Is that so?" Lu Sheng immediately guessed what he was thinking. He wanted to escape while there were so many people around them.
"I think we should meet the teacher together. We'll tell him everything that happened," Shajay said slowly in a deep voice.
"Teacher?" Lu Sheng suddenly smiled at him.
He pointed his finger. A sharp gust of wind tore through Shajay's force field with great precision and landed on Shajay's forehead.
"Bam!"
Shajay's eyes rolled back and he fainted. Lu Sheng happened to catch him.
Even though he was wearing armor, Shajay's forehead was struck by Lu Sheng's amplified force field. He fainted on the spot.
"Trying to run before me?"
