"Why aren't they moving? What's going on? Did something happen?" Elder Three's expression darkened as he saw his son in such a state.
Li Rui sensed that the timing was right; the "prey" had already fallen into the trap, and it was now the perfect moment to eliminate the opponent.
Just as Li Rui's right hand was about to strike, slowly moving towards his opponent's neck, a loud bang echoed, and both of them were sent flying backward.
The scene was chaotic, and everyone outside was instantly bewildered, completely unaware of what had just happened.
"What exactly is going on?" murmured the crowd in confusion.
However, after just five breaths, as the dust settled, a figure stood between the two.
"Isn't that Dean? Why is he suddenly here?"
Seeing this person, Li Rui felt a surge of rage inside, but his face remained calm. If it weren't for this person's sudden appearance, he would have guaranteed that his opponent's head would have hit the ground in the next moment!
"You are Li Rui? That's quite a nice name. You won't need to participate in this new student trial."
This...
Li Rui was instantly confused, unsure of what this could mean or why such a situation was occurring.
While Li Rui somewhat recognized this person as Dean, further explanations seemed futile. He could only stand quietly in place, perhaps his intention to eliminate his opponent had been seen through!
This was truly terrible; this feeling was far from pleasant. Could it be that this guy had Dean's protection?
Li Rui turned around and left immediately.
"I will find you at midnight tonight!" A voice suddenly came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Li Rui felt a wave of anxiety rise again. This time, the voice seemed to resonate within his heart. Could it be...
However, Li Rui did not show the surprise on his face; he merely nodded calmly and left.
At the same time, the person lying on the ground was already incapacitated and could no longer turn over. It seemed that only Dean was aware of this, and he was soon carried away on a stretcher.
"What exactly does he want to express? I was so close to succeeding; it's really frustrating! Perhaps he shouldn't die!" Li Rui murmured as he sat on the bed.
At this moment, it was already close to midnight.
Suddenly, a unique pressure swept in, causing Li Rui to furrow his brows tightly.
What is meant to come will always come. He didn't know whether this Dean was friend or foe. Li Rui would not show mercy to his enemies; if necessary, he could just struggle in another place for a few years, then...
"Why are you living here all alone? Don't you feel lonely?"
Li Rui couldn't help but smile at this sudden question. Isn't being alone quite nice? Why would he feel lonely?
"Are you here today because of that matter with Bai?"
"Not entirely! There are two things; which one do you want to hear first?"
Li Rui smiled lightly, unsure whether it was a good or bad thing, and thought perhaps it would be better to come out together.
However, the first thing Li Rui learned was about today's incident. Perhaps everyone in the venue was unaware of what had happened today, but Dean was very clear about it.
"Why did you resort to violence? Don't you know that as a member of Academy, you cannot harm each other?"
"What if someone wants to kill you? Shouldn't they be allowed to?" Li Rui retorted.
Dean seemed to contemplate something but ultimately swallowed his words. Li Rui had answered sincerely, without beating around the bush, which was enough to convince Dean!
"I have my reasons for stopping you today, not just for this matter, but for your own sake! Perhaps for your future prospects!"
With such words, shouldn't Li Rui be grateful to the current Dean?
Even though Li Rui had countless grievances, he still could not show disrespect towards Dean. In this world, those with power had the right to speak. Moreover, Li Rui was still fighting for that beautiful fairy and also for family revenge!
Suddenly, Dean's expression darkened, and the surrounding air seemed to drop sharply. Li Rui couldn't help but be pushed back three steps by this overwhelming aura!
"Where did your Seven Star Fist come from?"
Li Rui was momentarily stunned by the question; he couldn't reveal the Azure Dragon Breathing Technique, or it would become troublesome! Besides, he didn't yet have enough ability to protect himself.
In his heart, Li Rui only had one thought: he would never admit it.
"I don't know! What kind of fist technique is this? It's just a random display!"
"Is that really the case? I was planning to take you as my closed-door disciple and hand over the next volume to you."
After Dean finished speaking, his right hand unconsciously picked up a book. Li Rui felt countless joys in his heart and was about to make a move when he suddenly stopped.
In front of Dean, he had to hold back a bit; otherwise, if he revealed any signs, things could get a bit troublesome!
However, Li Rui kept making excuses, while Dean was relentless with his "strategies"!
Moreover, the temptation grew stronger as he mentioned teaching Li Rui alchemy, a lure strong enough to get Li Rui excited...
"I don't care; anyway, I'm leaving this book here. You come report to me tomorrow, or just leave!" He then tossed the Seven Star Fist into Li Rui's hands!
"Buddy, I know what you're thinking! It's tough out there in the world; who doesn't get hurt? And you've encountered someone like me who has roamed the world for thirty years; I can see clearly what you're feeling!" He left those words behind as he turned to walk away.
"Then thank you, Lord Dean!" Li Rui couldn't help but grin at those words.
With a burst of laughter, Dean vanished from sight.
Perhaps others wouldn't know, but Li Rui was fully aware of the situation; he felt a chill down his spine and sweat on his forehead. Speaking with someone several levels above him naturally brought about a sense of pressure.
"Whatever! I'll see how it goes tomorrow! Everything will unfold naturally. From his demeanor, he seems to like me; he's not that kind of person..." Li Rui murmured.
He then took the Snake Gallbladder given by Ruo Xin, feeling a sour rush before lying down directly.
"Hello! I'm looking for Dean." Early that morning, Li Rui got up early and arrived at his destination according to Dean's instructions from last night.
"Is Dean someone that anyone can just meet?" Who knew this guard really didn't know how to appreciate a person.
Li Rui let out a surprised "Huh," not expecting this guy to be such a guard. What exactly was going on?
"Come in!" A voice came from somewhere, startling the guard in front of him, proving the saying that a dog’s eyes look down on people!
"I didn't expect your guard to be of such high quality."
Dean was momentarily taken aback by the sudden voice, especially being addressed as "you" by a student, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
"Do you know that this Academy is just for show? The real deal is behind it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Rui couldn't help but furrow his brows. What did he mean by "the real deal"? What was so special about it?
